Martial Peak

Chapter 3937 – Guilty

In the blink of an eye, two of the three men were gone. Only Bai Qi was left standing there.

Yang Kai was puzzled by the change in their attitude. Earlier, he saw them communicating with one another using Divine Senses and shooting him cold glances from time to time, he was quite unnerved. Regardless of what had happened, he had climbed into the Proprietress’ bed and slept beside her for a night. Even though he didn’t do anything, it still wasn’t righteous. He had come up with the answers to the questions Bai Qi and the others might ask him, but never expected to just leave like that.

Bai Qi turned to look at him and nodded, “It seems that it’s just a misunderstanding. We’ve wrongly blamed you.”

Yang Kai nodded his head as well, “Indeed, a misunderstanding!”

“En,” Bai Qi replied with a smile, “Good, why did you enter the Proprietress’ room to console her now? Usually, around this time, we would just go into hiding and stay as far away from her room as possible. It seems I should be blamed for not informing you earlier… Hey! What are you doing?” While he was speaking, he suddenly realised that Yang Kai had turned on the room’s barrier and rose from the chair. Then, Yang Kai punched his right fist against his left palm as he stepped towards him with a hideous grin on his face.

Bai Qi forced a harmless smile at him, “Yang Kai, it’s just a misunderstanding. Let the past be the past. Cultivators like us should look forward and move on… Don’t hit my face!” He directly squatted and covered his head.

“Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding you say? You brought two partners into my room to interrogate me just because of a misunderstanding? Did you know how sharp the chef’s kitchen knife was? If I hadn’t shouted in time, he would’ve diced me into quarters. How dare you tell me it’s just a misunderstanding?”

Yang Kai went on to beat Bai Qi to vent out the grievances he had suffered from in the Proprietress’ room.

After a long time, Bai Qi stood up straight in exasperation and bellowed, “Enough! If you keep beating me up, I’ll fight back! Do you seriously think I’m no match for you? I’m just restraining myself from making a move on you!”

Hearing that, Yang Kai directly landed a kick on him, which caused him to fall to the ground.

…..

“How could you be so ruthless?” Sometime later, Bai Qi, whose face was swollen and livid, was seated and rubbing his wounds as he glared at Yang Kai.

“This is nothing compared to how brutal the Proprietress was.”

“You deserved it!” Bai Qi sneered, then he gasped upon irritating his wounds.

“Does it hurt?” Yang Kai stared at him and asked.

An exasperated Bai Qi replied, “What do you think?”

An elated Yang Kai cackled for a moment before he straightened his face and said in a hushed voice, “I must ask you something.”

“What?” Bai Qi replied with displeasure.
