Chapter 311: Ma Hongjun’s Prank

Bai He took a deep breath.

He had kindly come after reading Ma Hongjun’s letter, thinking he needed help, and the letter had made it sound so urgent and pitiful.

Yet before even entering Qingluan Manor, they were already greeted with this kind of trick?

Bai He was truly on the verge of exploding from anger.

Xu Feng was not doing any better either.

"You. Take us to find Ma Hongjun. I am going to beat him to death today."

The girl’s face turned pale from Xu Feng’s ferocious expression and brutal words.

"You, who are you people? Are you here to cause trouble? Let me tell you, our Qingluan Manor is not easy to bully."

Bai He pulled Xu Feng back and glanced at him before putting on a polite smile.

"Miss, please do not be afraid. Rest assured, we are not bad people. We are here to find Ma Hongjun. We even have a letter he wrote to us."

Fortunately, Bai He still had Ma Hongjun’s letter in his hand, so their visit was at least legitimate.

In his heart, he was secretly scolding Xu Feng for being too disrespectful.

Why was he talking about beating and killing so casually?

Even if they wanted to teach Ma Hongjun a lesson, it could not be now.

There would still be plenty of chances once they met him.

"Host, so that is your real intention. You are really quite wicked."

Mo Zhu could not help but comment.

Bai He’s smile now was clearly not sincere at all.

"So it really is Senior Brother Ma Hongjun’s letter. In that case, please follow me."

Bai He and Xu Feng followed the girl up the mountain.

If it were not for Bai He wanting to stay and see this through, Xu Feng would have turned around and left right after what just happened.

The girl’s status in Qingluan Manor did not seem very high.

Whoever she met, she would always nod and lower herself respectfully.

"Zhao Min, where did these two people come from? Has the sect not ordered that no outsiders are allowed to enter recently?"

"Senior Sister Huang Rong, this is Senior Brother Ma Hongjun’s arrangement."

Huang Rong let out a cold laugh.

"Hmph. Ever since returning from Spirit Pagoda, he really thinks he is someone important now. What are you still standing there for? Take them over."

"Yes."

Bai He could roughly understand the situation now.

This girl clearly had a grudge against Ma Hongjun.

But Ma Hongjun had returned from Spirit Pagoda after all, so his status now was probably somewhat higher than before.

"Miss, may I ask something? What exactly happened in your sect? Why are outsiders not allowed to enter?"

"I am afraid I cannot tell you about this matter. When you meet Senior Brother Ma Hongjun, you can ask him directly. Please do not make things difficult for me."

Bai He was always unable to resist a young girl showing such a pitiful expression.

"Ahem, thank you, Miss. If it is inconvenient, then you do not need to say it."

The girl finally brought Bai He to the outside of Ma Hongjun’s courtyard.

"This is where Senior Brother Ma Hongjun lives. You two can just knock and go in."

After speaking, the girl turned around and left.

At this moment, Xu Feng could no longer hold back.

He pushed the door open with both hands and walked straight in, shouting nonstop.

"Ma Hongjun, get out here."

Ma Hongjun walked out from inside the room, looking like he had just woken up.

It was already midday and he was still asleep.

How late had he slept until?

"You are here?"

Ma Hongjun did not seem surprised at all by their arrival.

In an instant, Xu Feng rushed in front of Ma Hongjun and grabbed his collar.

"Ma Hongjun, I want to ask you, is it fun to mess with us?"

Ma Hongjun seemed to finally understand something.

"You are talking about the stone stele on the mountainside? You two are really that stupid? You actually believed something like that?"

Bai He angrily said, "Xu Feng, hit him. Hit him hard."

Ma Hongjun immediately gave in.

"You are in my house. You want to hit me? Do not go too far."

"You were the one who left the letter asking us to come. Now you are still messing with us. Who exactly is going too far? Say it clearly."

Ma Hongjun muttered under his breath.

"Who knew you two were this stupid..."

Bai He smiled and said, "Do you know why, when we found out earlier that you were tricking us, we did not make a scene, but instead chose to settle the score after meeting you?"

Ma Hongjun was a very smart person.

From Bai He’s smile, he seemed to sense something.

"I am warning you, this is Qingluan Manor."

"You may be smart, but your cultivation level is not as good as Xiao Feng, and naturally not as good as mine either. If I want to beat you now, who are you going to reason with? Are you going to go find your master? Do you think your master would even dare to hit me?"

Every word Bai He said was extremely reasonable.

Who would dare to hit him?

If he went back and complained, even if it was just reporting to Yao Xiangli, it would already be a big problem.

And if it reached Senior Yi Xing’s ears, that would truly be a disaster they could not afford to bear.

"Elder Bai He, I know I was wrong, it was my fault. I should not have played tricks on you all. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

Bai He let out a soft snort and said, "Since you have already apologized, I will not hold it against you anymore. I have something to ask you, you must answer me honestly."

"Hey, I was the one who left the letter asking you to come and help me, how has it turned into... you asking me for something?"
