Martial Peak

Chapter 1578, Awkward Assignment

Shan Qing Luo and Yu Xiong listened to the sounds inside the palace for more than an hour before the screams gradually subsided.

Even a Monster Race master with steel nerves like Yu Xiong could not help feeling somewhat anxious at this moment.

The door of the palace opened suddenly, and a figure staggered out from it. This man was covered in blood and his aura was quite chaotic, seemingly not far from death.

Shan Qing Luo’s eyes shrank…

She could see at a glance that this man should be Ba He; after all, the powerful aura of a Third-Order Origin Returning Realm master still lingered around his body.

It seemed that her adoptive mother had been extremely angry this time, and it wasn’t yet clear whether she had forgiven Senior Ba He.

“Senior, are you okay?” Yu Xiong walked over and supported Ba He.

“Ah… I’m fine, at least I won’t die,” Ba He waved his hand slowly, as if he didn’t even have the strength to speak.

Yu Xiong opened his mouth but did not know how to comfort him.

Ba He suddenly raised his head and looked at Shan Qing Luo. As an old master with vast experience reading others, the moment he saw her, his eyes could not help lighting up. Even his sluggish aura seemed to recover somewhat at that moment.

Gently nodding, Ba He asked, “You should be Young Lady Shan, right?”

“Qing Luo greets Senior,” Shan Qing Luo elegantly bowed.

“Young Lady Shan is too polite. Good, the Monster Race has finally found a decent talent,” Ba He said with a light smile, “This old master acted too willfully in the past and failed to live up to the expectations of Lady Tribal Lord, I hope you will not disappoint her as well.”

“Junior will remember Senior’s teachings…” Shan Qing Luo said softly, with a complex expression.

“En, go in. Lady Tribal Lord is waiting for you,” Ba He waved his hand before forcing his weak body forward step by step at a slow pace.

Shan Qing Luo and Yu Xiong stared at the fading figure of Ba He and could not help sighing. This future star of the Monster Race, the First Master under the Origin King Realm, had been punished so severely by their adoptive mother.

“Is that Qing Luo? Come in,” From inside the palace, Chi Yue’s voice called out.

Shan Qing Luo could not help feeling anxious hearing this call, but quickly bit her red lip to brace herself and walked inside.

“Uh, I’ll head back first…” Yu Xiong seemingly thought out loud before turning around to flee.

“Yu Xiong, you get in here too!” Chi Yue’s tender shout rang out.
