Useless Scholar

Chapter 11

In addition, the other men in black had already jumped down from the eaves, as if they would attack Shu Mingshen in the next second.

"…" Shu Mingshen stood there in a daze for a long time. It was only when he saw the other party pull out his sword that he finally came back to his senses. He couldn't help but shrink back. With a pale face, he said, "I don't think I have done anything to offend you. I wonder why you have come to take my life?"

The leader said, "We are just following orders. As for the reason, you will know when you reach the underworld!"

Although Shu Mingshen didn't know why so many people had suddenly appeared to kill him, since things had already come to this, he was obviously no match for them. Seeing that the Ninth Young Master and Agy in front of him had the same dignified expression, Shu Mingshen forced himself to calm down, then took a deep breath, and said to them with a bitter smile, "It's … It's fine. It's probably Shu Mo's fate. The two of you are my friends, and I really don't want the two of you to be involved in this dispute. So, Agy, Ninth Elder Brothers, you should take this opportunity to leave this place quickly!"

Hearing this, the Ninth Young Master and Agy couldn't help but turn their heads to Shu Mingshen, looking at each other with a complicated expression for a moment, "…"

In fact, they weren't worried about these assassins. Not to mention the two of them working together, even if any one of them joined forces, these assassins might not be a match for them.

But the problem was that one of them didn't want to live a life where he couldn't help but kill people like before, so he took the initiative to give up his false reputation and come here to hide his identity. He really didn't want to be involved in the disputes of Jianghu, otherwise, he wouldn't have willingly laid on the ground and let others beat him up.

The other was that he didn't want to reveal his identity at this moment. He had lowered himself to reach this step with great difficulty. At the same time, he had also won Shu Mingshen's trust. If he revealed that he not only knew martial arts, but was also a rare top master in Jianghu, then wouldn't what he wanted to do fall short of success?

How was he going to explain that he had been beaten to the ground and pretended to be pitiful by those rascals?

"…" The two of them stood there in a dilemma, but the men in black on the other side could not wait any longer.

More than a dozen black shadows moved like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey. They raised their swords and stabbed toward Shu Mingshen!

"…" The Ninth Young Master was already holding a hidden weapon in his hand. He was waiting for these people to get close to him so that he could finish them off immediately.

If his identity was exposed, then so be it. At worst, he would think of other ways to take Shu Mingshen away. Anyway, no matter what, he could not let Shu Mingshen die here.

"…" Agy also took a deep breath, as if he was already prepared. After all, these people were not the same as those rascals from before, who used killing moves the moment they attacked. If he did not use his true abilities, he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of them.

The two of them originally thought that there would be a bloody battle in this small courtyard, but who knew that things would take a turn for the better at the last moment …

Shu Mingshen was originally so scared that his legs were trembling, but he still gritted his teeth and stood there, not wanting to implicate his friends.

Although Shu Mo was just a poor scholar who did not have the strength to truss a chicken, he still had the spirit of brotherhood. What's more, these people wanted to kill him alone. If they could not implicate Agy and the Ninth Young Master, he would be thankful. Unexpectedly, just as he closed his eyes and waited for death, two figures suddenly rushed in from outside the courtyard not far away!

One of them was wearing a light purple robe with a red cloak behind him, and the other was wearing a light linen robe with a jade belt on his head.

After a series of crackling sounds, the men in black who had been aggressively attacking them were all knocked to the ground in an instant. Only the leader was still struggling to fight the man in the cloak.

"Brother Shu, are you okay?"

The man wearing a light-colored gown had already arrived in front of Shu Ming Shen. This man had a jade-like face, gentle and elegant, and made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze. Who else could it be but Hua Man Lou, the Flower Master of Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeves?

Hua Manlou stood in front of Shu Mingshen with a concerned expression and asked with a frown.

"…" Shu Mingshen finally breathed a sigh of relief. His legs turned to jelly and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Agy and the Ninth Young Master helped him up, so he didn't embarrass himself in front of everyone.

"Many, many thanks to Brother Hua and this brother for saving me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have already …" Shu Mingshen couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat as he spoke. He was truly frightened. It wasn't the kind of fear he felt when he was beaten up by the people of White Tiger Hall. It was the feeling of almost dying.

He had lived for half his life, and this was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying thing. It was lucky that he didn't faint on the spot.

Shu Mingshen naturally didn't know that there were two peerless experts who had experienced hundreds of battles standing beside him. Even if those assassins really came in front of him, they definitely wouldn't let them kill him.

When Hua Manlou heard this, he couldn't help but comfort Shu Mingshen with a few words. On the other side, the victor had already been decided …

The red-cloaked man had already grabbed the assassin's sword in his hand. He only used two fingers, and no matter how much strength the highly skilled assassin used, he couldn't pull his sword out of his opponent's hand.

The black-cloaked man's expression changed, and cold sweat flowed down his face. After looking at the person opposite him, he asked, "Are you Lu Xiaofeng or Lu Zongzi?"

The red-cloaked young man smiled when he heard this, but he still didn't let go of his opponent's sword. He only said, "At least you have some eyesight. It's just that you recognize who I am, but I don't know your name. I wonder if you can tell me your identity, and why you must kill this Young Master Shu?"

When the black-cloaked man heard this, he sneered and said, "As an assassin, if I can't complete my mission, do you think I still have the face to continue living in this world?"

"…" Lu Xiaofeng was stunned when he heard this. He saw that the man had already stabbed a dagger into his chest with all his strength. The next moment, he fell to the ground with the other assassins who had also taken their own lives.
