“Qingfeng.”
Baili Tianxing called Baili Qingfeng from outside the door. “There were many obscure details in what you told me. Tell me. Where did you get the money from? I know that Eddy and Eit have been killed by someone, but others are also coveting General Melbourne’s forces. The third prince has even sent a trusted subordinate over. Don’t fall for any trap.”
“Uncle, the money is completely legitimate. It’s compensation and charity. There’s nothing wrong with it.” Baili Qingfeng said solemnly, “Also, the money has nothing to do with you, second grandpa or General Melbourne.”
Baili Tianxing observed Baili Qingfeng carefully, only to see no signs of lies on his face but only sincerity.
A long time later, he said, “You are a good kid. You know what money you should take and what you shouldn’t, but you are too young to know the viciousness of humanity. This world is not as simple as you think. We do not want you to get in touch with the dark side of the world so early. We prefer you to arm yourself with knowledge and build up your body with martial arts.”
“I understand. Uncle, my goal is to become a good student in all aspects, and I’ve been striving for that. It won’t change,” Baili Qingfeng said solemnly.
Baili Tianxing nodded, feeling comforted. “I can tell that you are telling the truth. What a good boy.”
Baili Qingfeng smiled in embarrassment.
“Go now. Ask me if you have questions in martial arts. I have stepped into the spirit-refining phase after the perfection of the spirit-refining method. It’s no exaggeration to say that I’m one of the best experts in Wuhe and Shire,” Baili Tianxing said with a smile.
“Uncle, you are awesome,” Baili Qingfeng hurried to compliment him.
“Haha. Let’s keep a low profile,” Baili Tianxing waved his hands and asked Baili Qingfeng to go back. He went into ‘River Moon’ and took the money.
So, Baili Qingfeng left River Moon and returned to his house, his smile gone.
“The third prince has sent a trusted subordinate to probably investigate Eddy’s death…” Baili Qingfeng frowned with a heavy heart.
Although he had killed Eddy and his son secretly, and it was barely possible to identify him as the culprit, villains were often utterly unpredictable. They preferred to kill three thousand innocent people than to let one suspect escape. If they considered the Baili family a suspect…
“Please don’t find out anything or try to kill us. Otherwise… I must kill the third prince’s subordinate, too.”
However…
It would be a vicious cycle!
The third prince would definitely regard it as a personal provocation and arrive in person.
Then…
With no choice, he could only kill the third prince, but the consequences would be too severe.
“One lie has to be covered by countless lies, and killing one person means destroying a whole sect. This is not the life I want… I only hope that the prince’s subordinate is a kind and rational person who does not get the Baili family involved.” Baili Qingfeng heaved a sigh.
…
In the Starlight Club…
Wu Li had been staying in the Starlight Club doing nothing against the Wang family.
Ten years ago, after General Melbourne was framed, martial fighters in Shire were struck badly. They were eliminated by the country or banished. After a dozen years, they still hadn’t recovered. As a result, Wu Li thought he probably ranked in the top five in Shire.
With his capabilities, he could retreat easily however dangerous the situation was. That was why he was dealing with the Wang family so blatantly.
However, Baili Qingfeng emerged out of nowhere and slew the elites of the Iron Sword Sect, including Wang Gang, on his own. Wu Li was shocked and had been waiting for news in the Starlight Club. He did not dare move recklessly as he thought somebody had got their eyes on him.
“Thud! Thud! Thud!”
Hasty footsteps came from outside.
Wu Li was alarmed.
Then, he identified the master of the footsteps and relaxed.
The door opened, and Mi Xiu walked in. He closed the door and grabbed the bottle of wine on the table, pouring it into his mouth.
He choked himself when he drank too fast and coughed.
“Cough! Cough! Cough!”
His face became red.
Wu Li was rendered speechless by Mi Xiu’s lack of calmness. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Hu!”
Mi Xiu finally resumed breathing normally. After drinking some water, he slowly said, “The Iron Sword Sect is done for.”
Wu Li nodded.
Two elders, the leader and most of the elites in the Iron Sword Sect had died. It would certainly decline.
A moment later…
He realized the subtle meaning in Mi Xiu’s words. Shuddering, he asked, “The Iron Sword Sect is done for? What do you mean? How done?”
“The twenty-seven people staying in the Iron Sword Sect were all killed with no survivors!” Mi Xiu said.
The blood all over Wu Li’s body was almost frozen by his words. “Are you saying that… Iron Sword Sect has been demolished?”
“Yes!” Mi Xiu nodded his head. “Since he killed Wang Gang, I’ve been paying attention to the Iron Sword Sect. This morning, the members of Iron Sword Sect were all discovered to be dead. Bodies, blades, guns and holes were all over the place. It was like a battlefield…”
“Since he killed Wang Gang… Are you talking about Baili Qingfeng?!”
Mi Xiu’s expression changed, and he said in a hurry, “Do not speak his name!”
Wu Li also trembled violently.
Yes, he should not.
The name must not be spoken.
He had slain thirty-nine martial fighters of Iron Sword Sect by himself. That was a terrifying man.
Wu Li always considered himself to be ruthless, but he was not on the same level as the guy at all.
He dealt with regular families, and that guy’s enemy was the Iron Sword Sect, a powerful sect with a history of decades and dozens of martial fighters right now.
“The whole Miluo City is in turmoil now. Although it’s a tradition that the things among martial fighters are left to martial fighters, too many people have died. More importantly, a hundred guns and thousands of bullets were found in the Iron Sword Sect. Everyone is asking for the truth regarding the Iron Sword Sect’s demolition.”
“The Iron Sword Sect must’ve increased its defense after knowing that its elites were killed, and they had so many guns. However, the man… still annihilated the Iron Sword Sect… Is he already war-level?”
Mi Xiu shook his head.
Nobody knew the answer.
“As expected of General Melbourne’s homeland. Shire is more complicated than I thought.”
Wu Li heaved a long sigh. “I’ve decided. After the issue is over, I’ll kill the culprit of the Wang family to seek my revenge. Then, I’ll leave Shire.”
“I’m not deeply related to the martial fighters. I’ll try to legitimize my business and withdraw from the circle of martial fighters. I’ll become a legitimate businessman.”
