Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

In order not to be completely drained, Su Liang hurriedly packed his things and returned to the Great Qin before Ning Zhexian woke up, without even saying goodbye to Luo Xue Jinghong.

Although it wouldn't be difficult for Su Liang to return to the Great Qin with his strength, he wasn't in a hurry. So, after leaving Qinghan Palace for a certain distance, he began to travel slowly and leisurely, visiting several cities along the way.

As evening fell, Su Liang stopped in a city called Tianshuo City to rest.

After wandering around the city for half a day, Su Liang finally found an inn.

The inn looked very ordinary, but seeing how passersby avoided it like the plague, Su Liang knew there was something wrong with it.

"Sir, are you looking for a place to stay?"

However, before Su Liang could turn around, a waiter with a smile walked up to him, subtly blocking his way.

"That's right, but your shop doesn't seem to be very good."

Su Liang raised an eyebrow, took a step to the side, and tried to walk past the waiter to leave.

"Sir, you're mistaken. How can you know what we're like if you don't take a look?"

The waiter's smile faded, and he looked somewhat displeased.

Are you planning to force me?

Su Liang narrowed his eyes, ready to make a move at any moment.

"Waiter, are there any rooms available?"

Just as the atmosphere was tense and Su Liang was about to make a move, a few people walked over from not far away.

Leading the group was a woman in a light blue dress with a gentle demeanor, followed by her maids and guards.

"Also, how many rooms would you like, sir?"

The waiter's expression changed instantly, and he greeted the waiter with great enthusiasm.

"Two rooms are enough. Also, I'll pay for his room too."

The woman spoke, her voice melodious and ethereal, giving a sense of fragility.

"No problem, no problem, please come in."

The waiter immediately beamed and bowed respectfully to lead Su Liang and the woman and the others.

"Girl, you don't need to help me, I was originally..."

Su Liang frowned. Although the woman made a good first impression, it didn't mean he would readily accept her kindness.

Shh! Keep quiet! Miss is saving you!

However, before Su Liang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the maid following behind the woman.

Before they went to the room, the maid explained the reason to Su Liang.

In Tianshuo City, the strongest force is undoubtedly the Bailuo Sect, and this inn is backed by the high-ranking members of the Bailuo Sect.

Although the cost is high, the security is indeed adequate.

Of course, occasionally there would be cultivators like Su Liang who came from other places and were unaware of this, thus causing conflicts with the inn. As for the final outcome...

"Thank you, young lady, but I'll pay for it myself. There's no need for you to spend money."

Having learned the reason, Su Liang no longer resisted.

Although he was not afraid of the so-called Hundred Luo Sect with his strength, since the woman had already helped him ease the conflict, he had no need to turn against her and cause trouble for himself.

"No need. I can tell you're no ordinary person, so let's just consider this a good deed we've done together."

The woman shook her head. She had just arrived at the room and went straight in, not giving Su Liang a chance to continue speaking.

"We're here. This is your room."

The waiter's service was excellent. Even though Su Liang himself didn't want to stay, since he had become their guest, they treated him with great respect.

"Fine, I'll just consider it a favor I owe you."

Su Liang looked at the woman's room and sighed.

He wanted to pay for it himself so as not to owe the woman a favor and avoid getting involved in trouble.

Chapter 916 You think I'm afraid?

As soon as Su Liang entered the inn, he noticed that the innkeeper at the counter was looking at the woman with malice.

It's just unclear whether the shopkeeper was lustful or had ulterior motives.

As night fell, the waiter delivered the food to the room.

However, Su Liang noticed something was wrong with the food, so he didn't eat it and waited for a while.

Then, some faint noises were heard coming from the woman's room.

Su Liang discovered that the woman's guards and maids had collapsed unconscious, while the woman herself was weakly leaning against the edge of the bed for support.

The innkeeper knocked on the woman's door, and when he received no response, he pushed the door open and went inside.

What puzzled Su Liang was that after the shopkeeper went in, he only checked on the maids and women before heading to the guards' room.

Seeing the shopkeeper's behavior, Su Liang realized that there might be other people behind the shopkeeper instructing him.

In order to find out who was behind him, Su Liang grabbed a handful of rice and stuffed it into the blanket, then pretended to be unconscious and slumped onto the table.

As expected, after confirming that the guard had also fallen unconscious, the shopkeeper went to Su Liang's room.

After confirming that Su Liang was also unconscious, the shopkeeper went downstairs.

Soon after, he came up with a woman wearing a red Taoist robe and with an arrogant expression.

"Miss, everything has been taken care of. Everyone else is unconscious, and she has no ability to resist. From now on, it's just you two on this floor."

After leading the woman upstairs, the shopkeeper bowed respectfully and then left.

"Hmph! Lan Xin, you never thought you'd end up like this, did you!"

The woman stood still, snorted coldly, and muttered to herself.

Only then did Su Liang realize that the woman who had helped him was named Lan Xin.

The woman walked into Lan Xin's room and, seeing Lan Xin, who was still clinging to the edge of the bed despite being in a daze, couldn't help but laugh.

"Liang Feng, is that you?"

Although her consciousness was already blurred, Lan Xin still recognized the woman standing in front of her.

The woman's name was Liang Feng, the granddaughter of the Grand Elder of the Bailuo Sect, and the person behind this inn was also the Grand Elder of the Bailuo Sect.

Lan Xin felt a pang of regret. She had thought she would be safe in this inn, but she hadn't expected Liang Feng to try to harm her. She had walked right into a trap.

"That's right, it's me. I've been preparing for so long, and you've finally fallen into my hands!"

Liang Feng sneered and stood in front of Lan Xin. Looking at Lan Xin's weak appearance, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Why are you doing this? I've done nothing to you..."

Lan Xin, constantly resisting the effects of the medicine, looked at Liang Feng and asked.

"Why? Because you're a slut!"

Lan Xin's question was like lighting a fuse for Liang Feng, causing her to explode.

“Before, whatever I wanted, those men would give me, and they would dote on me. But ever since you came along, they’ve all focused their attention on you!”

As Liang Feng spoke, she pinched Lan Xin's cheek with her hand.

"You're the one who seduced them, you slut! I'm going to ruin you today! I want to see if they'll even give you a second glance then!"

As Liang Feng spoke, he seemed to have already imagined Lan Xin's fate, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, Su Liang, who was observing from the shadows, had already figured out the cause and effect.

Without a doubt, Lan Xin is superior to Liang Feng in terms of appearance, figure, strength, and talent.

In addition, Lan Xin's gentle personality makes her naturally more attractive than Liang Feng.

Liang Feng, who has always been regarded as a princess by the Bai Luo Sect because of her status as the granddaughter of the Grand Elder, could not possibly tolerate someone stealing her limelight.

Simply put, it was because Lan Xin was too outstanding that Liang Feng became jealous, so Liang Feng wanted to destroy Lan Xin.

Su Liang curled his lip in disdain. With Liang Feng's personality, if it weren't for his grandfather being the Grand Elder, he would probably have been drowned in the Hundred Luo Sect by everyone's spit long ago.

"I don't..."

Lan Xin's consciousness was almost giving way, but she still tried to explain herself.

She never showed off, and she was indifferent to the attention she received from others. Unlike what Liang Feng said, she did not actively seduce others.

"But it doesn't matter. After tonight, you'll just be a worn-out shoe. I don't believe those people will still look at you or treat you like a goddess!"

Liang Feng let out a soft breath, looked at Lan Xin's appearance, and revealed a satisfied smile.

Lan Xin was no naive girl; upon hearing the words "broken shoe," she immediately understood what Liang Feng was up to.

As a result, his already pale face became even paler.

"As the granddaughter of the Grand Elder of the Bailuo Sect, she is such a person. The future of your Bailuo Sect is truly worrying."

Su Liang couldn't hold back any longer and quietly came up behind Liang Feng, speaking softly.

"who!"

Liang Feng was startled by the sudden sound and quickly turned around.

The moment she saw Su Liang, she couldn't help but be amazed, but then she became wary.

Although she was arrogant and domineering, it didn't mean she was brainless. Su Liang could appear behind her silently, and he could also kill her silently.

"Who I am is not important. All you need to know is that your plans have failed today. It's your bad luck that you had to make your move when I owed her a favor."

Su Liang sighed softly. If he could, he wouldn't want to get involved in this trouble, but he owed Lan Xin a favor and couldn't just stand by and watch her be ruined.

"You know my grandfather is the Grand Elder of the Hundred Luo Sect. If you dare to do anything to me, he will definitely not let you off!"

Looking at the calm Su Liang, Liang Feng felt a chill run down her spine, so she quickly spoke, trying to intimidate him.

However, Su Liang didn't give her a chance to continue speaking. He flashed behind her and delivered a chop to her neck, knocking Liang Feng unconscious.

"I knew, but I still stopped you. Do you think I was afraid?"

Su Liang shook his head; Liang Feng's intelligence was still somewhat worrying.
