In truth, Sword Bu Gui had no desire to fight Bai Heng. It wasn't that he was afraid of him, but considering their statuses in their respective sects, any clash would escalate into a conflict between their sects.
The Seven Emotions Sect and the Lingjian Sect had always been on good terms. There was no need to ruin that harmony over a hypocrite like him.
Lu Sangjiu's words now gave him a perfect way out. He couldn't help but silently praise her. 'She's sensible enough.'
He then said lightly, "Fine. For your sake, I won't lower myself to this fellow's level... Can you still walk on your own?"
Lu Sangjiu nodded. "I can. Thank you for your concern, Senior."
With a flick of his sleeves, Sword Bu Gui turned and led the way.
Lu Sangjiu followed closely behind Sword Bu Gui, not sparing Bai Heng a single glance.
Bai Heng's expression was as dark as a thundercloud. "Lu Sangjiu, we'll just see how long someone from the Lingjian Sect can protect you."
