Phoenix Lake Hall Master Cui Xiaodao quickly gathered the core mbers of the hall.
“Brother Dong Xiao is dead.” Phoenix Lake Hall Master swept his gaze at the others and threw the envelope and letter on the table. “Everyone, take a look.”
As long as one wasn’t stupid, they could determine that the murderer was most likely Chang Yi based on the words on the envelope and the content on the letter.
“Chang Yi2”
“Is the illegitimate son of the Chang family that capable?”
“Could it be a fra-up?”
The few core mbers wouldn’t determine that the murderer was Chang Yi just because of a letter.
Phoenix Lake Hall Master said coldly, “Dong Xiao was killed in the latter half of the night, and the letter was in my hands this morning! It happened too quickly, so it’s very likely that the person who wrote this letter is
the murderer! Moreover, | don’t think Chang Yi is worth framing.”
“There are so experts beside Young Master Chang. The three experts from last ti thrashed the 300 elite gang mbers we sent.” The white-shirted youth nodded.
think there’s a greater than 70% chance that Chang Yi is threatening us,” Phoenix Lake Hall Master said. “He killed Dong Xiao to intimidate us.”
How dare he!?”
He’s already done it!”
ff he can even kill Dong Xiao, and he did it with such verve, who can stop him?” Phoenix Lake Hall’s core mbers had mixed emotions.
Everyone, what do we do next?” Phoenix Lake Hall Master swept his gaze.
n my opinion,” a stocky man said in a low voice, “let’s keep a low profile and hold back to make that illegitimate son of the Chang family lower his guard! We’ll make preparations in secret and kill Young Master Chang
nce we’re completely confident! People know that our Flower Moon Gang’s Phoenix Lake Hall has made a move. If we give up just like that, what will people think of us? They will think that we’re pushovers. Therefore,
we have to find an opportunity to take action. It’s just that… we need to be completely confident. If we can’t kill him in one go, Young Master Chang will probably launch another assassination attempt!”
“I don’t think it’s necessary because soone else might’ve killed Dong Xiao. If the murderer deliberately frad him, we would end up falling into soone else’s trap by dealing with Chang Yi.” A man with a mustache
shook his head gently. “I think it’s best if we don’t make a move! How many things happen every day for the five million people in Lanyue City? Who will keep paying attention to a little conflict between our Phoenix
Lake Hall and the Chang family? Over ti, others will forget.”
“How can people forget?” soone objected.
“Then, our Flower Moon Gang can find other things to assert our authority. We know that Young Master Chang is much harder to deal with than we expected, so it would be silly to insist on attacking him.” The man
with the mustache shook his head. “We are in a gang. We should be tough when we need to, and we have to back off when required! We won’t live long if we just clamor for a fight all the ti.”
“| agree with Second Brother Xiao. The Chang family isn’t an easy target but a trap. There’s no need for us to clash head-on.”
“You’re afraid just like that? All the brothers in Phoenix Lake Hall can drown the Chang family just with their pee!”
“Use your brain!”
A commotion broke out in the hall.
Phoenix Lake Hall Master looked at the white-shirted youth. “Ninth Brother, what are your thoughts?”
The white-shirted youth said, “If we tolerate it, it will only embarrass our Phoenix Lake Hall! But to be honest, we don’t have full confidence just based on our strength. After all, there are only three second-rate experts
in the entire hall! If we really fight to the death, it will depend on the strength of the elites. Our elites don’t have an overwhelming advantage, and the so-called tens of thousands of gang mbers are useless in front of
experts. If we really launch an attack, it will only end in a Pyrrhic victory.”
“If we tolerate embarrassnt and aren’t confident in attacking, what should we do?” soone shouted.
The white-shirted youth replied, “I think we should report this matter to the boss. This Chang family isn’t easy to deal with. Be it tolerating or attacking, we have to leave it to the gang to decide!”
“Wouldn’t this make us appear incompetent?”
“This…”
“We are indeed incompetent!” The white-shirted youth shook his head. “Just our hall alone isn’t strong enough!”
Phoenix Lake Hall Master sat there in thought before reading the letter again.
He was indeed a little frightened. When he was young, it was common for him to fight with his life on the line! But now that he was getting older, he was used to having his gang mbers do the charging. He rarely
fought with his life on the line! Moreover, with Phoenix Lake Hall’s strength, they didn’t have the confidence to face the Chang family’s illegitimate son.
After all, Phoenix Lake Hall Master still rembered Dong Xiao’s death scene.
“We’ll report this matter to the boss, and the gang will decide on this matter,” Phoenix Lake Hall Master said.
The mont the hall master spoke, the others stopped objecting. Even if the gang felt that Phoenix Lake Hall was incompetent, they would only punish the hall master.
That afternoon, Phoenix Lake Hall Master visited the gang boss again and returned much more relaxed.
“From today onward, the Chang family’s matters will be taken over by the boss,” Phoenix Lake Hall Master stated. “Everyone has to keep this a secret. If anyone dares to leak it, they will be punished according to the
gang rules.”
“Yes,” the few people in the hall replied in unison, and their brows relaxed.
KREKKKK
The following days were calm.
Young Master Chang Yi often brought his guards out to discuss business! However, the Flower Moon Gang’s Phoenix Lake Hall didn’t make a move again. Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ziteng were also happy about this
outco.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Jingming had been in Blood Rain World for more than a month.
Xu Jingming spent 12 hours a day in Blood Rain World. At other tis, he either practiced his spearmanship in the virtual world or used the huge convex glass that was hundreds of square ters in the training
chamber in reality to gather sunlight on his body and constantly evolve.
Although he had reached Lv. 6 in the virtual world and had reached the interdiate level of a cosmic lifeform, he was still at the initial level of a cosmic lifeform in reality.
I’m now at the beginning stages of a cosmic lifeform. Although I need a lot of energy to reach the interdiate stages, I’ll probably need another month to gather sunlight with this large convex glass, Xu Jingming
thought. But in the future, the energy needed to go from the interdiate stages of a cosmic lifeform to the advanced realm will be much greater. Relying on this training chamber is far from sufficient.
Forget it. I’ll worry about this problem when I reach Lv. 7.
Xu Jingming sat cross-legged in the training chamber with his upper body bare. Sunlight gathered on his body, and his entire body appeared dark and blurry. Every cell in his body was absorbing the energy from the
sunlight.
Blood Rain World, Lanyue City’s Fei family.
Old Master Fei finally compromised with his daughter.
“Three people! You can choose at most three guards.” Old Master Fei looked at his daughter and raised three fingers. “Moreover, the reputation of these three guards can’t be too bad. At the very least, they have to be
at the level of that spearman surnad Jing.”
“All right,” grumbled Fei Xinlan. “Three it is then.”
“Cut out the act.” Old Master Fei was exasperated.
Fei Xinlan imdiately hugged her father’s arm and said affectionately, “I know you love , Dad.”
Old Master Fei looked at his daughter; he truly doted on her. He shook his head helplessly. “Just be more understanding of your father. We’re going to the capital with our entire family, so we naturally have to be
careful. In this world, the journey will be treacherous. It’s a long journey from Lanyue City to the capital… Choosing guards is a top priority. We have to choose soone we can trust.”
“Don’t worry, Dad. I’m not stupid,” Fei Xinlan said. “I’ll choose seriously. Moreover, didn’t Brother send so experts?”
“Yeah.” Old Master Fei nodded. “Otherwise, how can I tolerate your insolence?”
Fei Xinlan giggled.
“Uncle Zhang, since Dad only allowed to choose three people,” Xinlan said after so thought, “then it shall be my Senior Sister Qiu, that rather handso expert spearman from the Chang family, and Brother Luo
from the Black Ax Gang. They shall be the three!”
“Luo?” Old Master Fei glared. “That’s a gang mber.”
“Brother Luo is very upright. I believe in him!” Fei Xinlan retorted.
Old Master Fei thought for a mont. Luo was quite an upright person among the gang mbers.
“Whatever then. The three of them it is.” Old Master Fei stopped arguing with his daughter. After all, there were only three guards. He would just treat it as spending more money on three additional hires. To the Fei
family, it was only money.
“Master, when do we schedule the departure with them?” the butler asked.
“Since our entire family is leaving, we naturally have to make arrangents. Moreover, it’s still so ti before Xinlan’s matriculation,” Old Master Fei said. “Let’s make an agreent with them to set off in two
months!”
The butler nodded. “I’ll do it right now.”
Xinlan imdiately said, “Be quick! Oh right, Uncle Zhang, we will be traveling all the way to the capital. It’s a long journey away from our hotown, and the journey is also dangerous, so you have to be willing to pay!
We can’t exploit Senior Sister Qiu and the others.”
“Of course.” The butler smiled and left the Fei family with his n to visit the three guards his young mistress had nad..
