The little snake zipped towards Luo Shu.

Luo Shu kicked outwards, cursing, "Get the hell away from me! What do you want from me?"

He looked at Sun Buzhou with embarrassment. "Master..."

Sun Buzhou flicked his sleeves, harrumphing. "Humph, Luo Shu, what explanation do you have?"

The Xuanyin Snake Gu had already crawled onto Luo Shu and skillfully burrowed into his pocket.

It poked out its little head, like a baby kangaroo returning to its mother's pouch.

Just looking at this scene, there was nothing evil about it at all.

Luo Shu knelt on the ground with a thud. "Master, I was wrong! I was just confused for a moment. Please, forgive me this time!"

Sun Buzhou's head buzzed. Until Luo Shu admitted it himself, he still held a sliver of hope that Luo Shu might be innocent.

But when Luo Shu confessed his mistake and begged for mercy, the last glimmer of hope vanished.

"Luo Shu, ah, Luo Shu, why are you so disappointing? Where did you get this Xuanyin Snake Gu?"

Sun Buzhou said through gritted teeth.

When Chen Xiao questioned them earlier, he felt that Chen Xiao was being unreasonable. But now, he only felt ashamed and utterly disgraced.

Luo Shu said tremulously, "Granny Li from Miao Village gave it to me. I've been carefully raising it for three years, but you never knew."

Sun Buzhou almost coughed up blood in anger. "Three years already? You worthless wretch! Granny Li is a famous doctor. She gave you this Xuanyin Snake Gu to heal and save people, not to harm them!"

Luo Shu lowered his head, like a student who knew he had done something wrong.

"Tell me, why did you do this? Qi Tianhu has no past grudges or recent conflicts with you. Why did you harm him?"

Sun Buzhou questioned sternly.

Of course, he was also putting on a show for Qi Qingfei.

After all, Qi Qingfei must be furious right now. The reason she hadn't exploded yet was to give him face.

Therefore, he had to show his attitude towards this matter.

Luo Shu said softly, "Master, I really know I was wrong, but I had my reasons for doing this. You're getting old and you always like to go deep into the mountains. I've had enough of that life. I want to live a rich man's life!"

Sun Buzhou sighed. So that's what Luo Shu really thought.

He thought that Luo Shu shared his interests, so he always brought Luo Shu with him whenever he went into the mountains.

But then another question arose: "You have the right to choose the life you want. I won't stop you from wanting to live a rich man's life. But what does that have to do with harming Qi Tianhu?"

Luo Shu told the truth: "Three months ago, before our last trip to the mountains, someone approached me and promised me a large sum of money if I killed Qi Tianhu!"

Sun Buzhou quickly asked, "Who was that person?"

Luo Shu shook his head. "Master, I really don't know. And to convince me, he also told me that Qi Tianhu was already poisoned by the Lianxin Longxian, and even if I didn't do anything, Qi Tianhu would die sooner or later."

"So I thought, since Qi Tianhu is going to die anyway, why shouldn't I make some money?"

Sun Buzhou pointed at Luo Shu's forehead, angry at his lack of ambition. "You, ah, you! You're so bold, so venomous! Qi has treated you well these past few days!"

Luo Shu cried, repenting. "Master, I really know I was wrong. Please, forgive me this time!"

"Besides, Qi Tianhu isn't dead, so don't blame me!"

Hearing this, Qi Qingfei immediately sneered.

It seemed that Luo Shu's repentance was fake, and his fear of death was real!

Sun Buzhou shook his head. "It's useless to apologize to me. I'm going to hand you over to Qi Tianhu and let him deal with you."

"Don't, Master! Please, save me!"

Luo Shu hugged Sun Buzhou's leg and cried bitterly. It seemed that he knew how serious his actions were.

Qi Qingfei watched the two masters and disciples coldly. She wanted to see what Sun Buzhou would say in the end.

If he pleaded for his disciple, then Qi Qingfei would not show any mercy.

However, at this moment, a cough suddenly came. It was Qi Tianhu who had slowly awakened.

"Dad, you're finally awake! How do you feel now?"

Qi Qingfei said excitedly.

Qi Tianhu said weakly, "Daughter, don't worry about me. I feel very good now, just a little weak... But, what happened? I feel like I've been sleeping for a long time?"

Chen Xiao smiled, thinking, *You haven't just been sleeping for a long time, you've been 'dead' for a long time!*

Then Qi Qingfei told him the whole story. After Qi Tianhu heard it, he was stunned and filled with mixed emotions.

At this time, Sun Buzhou said apologetically, "Brother Qi, I'm sorry. I didn't teach my disciple well and he harmed you. I'm handing this useless disciple over to you now. You can kill him or do whatever you want!"

Qi Tianhu sighed and asked expressionlessly, "Luo Shu, how much money did the person who asked you to harm me promise you?"

Luo Shu held up two fingers.

Qi Tianhu asked him, "Twenty million?"

Luo Shu shook his head. "No, it's two, two million."

Qi Tianhu laughed loudly. "Boy, you're confused. Is my life, Qi Tianhu's, only worth two million? And if you wanted money, you could have just asked. What's two million? I would have given it to you!"

Luo Shu muttered, "You would have given me money because of my master's face. I wanted to earn money with my own ability."

Everyone who heard this was completely speechless.

This person was beyond saving!

Qi Tianhu snorted coldly. "For your master's sake, I'll spare your life. But you can be spared the death penalty, but not the living penalty. Leave your hands behind and get out of here!"

"Master, save me!"

Luo Shu begged bitterly.

Sun Buzhou had completely lost hope in him. "From today onwards, you are not allowed to call me master anymore. You have been expelled from my sect. And Qi has already given me a great deal of face by not killing you. How else do you want me to save you?"

"No, I can't, I can't leave my hands behind! Ah!!!"

Luo Shu shouted hysterically, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and grabbed Sun Buzhou's neck.

"You let me leave here, or I'll kill..."

Before the threatening words were finished, Luo Shu suddenly let go of his hand, his body softened, and he collapsed to the ground.

Sun Buzhou was still in shock. He looked back and saw a silver needle stuck in Luo Shu's forehead. His pupils were dilated, and he was already dead.

Sun Buzhou looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief. Chen Xiao shrugged. "You're welcome."

At the critical moment, Chen Xiao had taken action and killed Luo Shu with one strike.

All of this happened too fast, and Sun Buzhou's mood was like riding a roller coaster.

Before he could thank Chen Xiao, a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly came from outside the door.

"Hahahaha, Qi Tianhu, what kind of luck did you have to survive even this!"
