Volume 1, Chapter 47: Public Confrontation

Since the guests were not in a hurry, Wu Xingxue was not in a hurry either.

She crossed her arms and stood at the entrance of the shop, raising her chin slightly. "Go ahead."

Wu Xunan glanced at the crowd of onlookers, his scalp tightening.

"Let's go somewhere else to talk."

The guests chimed in directly, "What is it that you have to say that's so shameful? Why can't we listen?"

"Alright, stop with the banter. Come, Ling'er, let me introduce you. This is your second grand-uncle, and this is your third grand-uncle," said the Chief Leader. The three of them were biological brothers, with the Chief Leader being the eldest, and the other two the second and third respectively.

As for Lu Feiyang, he simply smiled as he watched the energy-constructed prison without the slightest reaction. He knew very well that now was not the time for him to make a move, and presumably, he wouldn't need to. Xuan Qiong should be more than enough to defeat these fellows, though it seemed Xuan Qiong still wanted to play a little longer.

That night, aided by the spiritual energy of the two spirit stones, Wei Yan could feel his body steadily evolving toward a higher state.

That long howl was a warning telling him not to approach! Yet Lin Feng paid it no heed and walked straight forward. The wolf immediately bent its hind legs, ready to pounce at any moment.

Accompanied by a muffled thud, the two Adepts were sent flying backwards. Immediately after, Liao Yun and Philip leisurely faded from their line of sight.

Therefore, what they should do next was fight! If he were to participate as well, he definitely could not hold anything back. Although the secret of his Heaven-Astonishing Sword would be exposed, there was no other choice if he wanted to preserve his life.

Coldly watching Xu Zhe charge towards him with a saber, a disdainful smile hung on Zhao Zuanshan's lips, though his eyes were filled with solemnity. Zhao Zuanshan raised his fist, quietly waiting for Xu Zhe's arrival. Deep in his heart, he had a faint feeling that the upcoming battle might decide the final victor.

"Since everyone agrees, let's go help," Taijiro Yagami said as he picked up a wooden stick from the woods and turned back. The others also gathered various items that could serve as weapons and returned.

Dazed and heartbroken, Gu Xiaobei listened to the aunt's words. The continuous stream of remarks struck her like a volley of bullets, yet some unknown strength sustained her, causing her to follow behind the aunt and slowly step into the house.

"Wait!" Lu Feiyang shouted to stop him. "Why aren't the guards behind you moving?" Only then had he noticed that these fellows seemed to have no intention of moving at all.

In truth, he had long been restless at the Li residence and had been eager to come to Kaoshan Village. It was just that Madam Li feared his foot injury might flare up again and kept a strict watch on him, forbidding him from going out. Unwilling to reject Madam Li's kind intentions, he could only obediently stay put at the Li residence.

"I... how could I have a guilty conscience? I'm just worried that if he finds out I'm here snitching to you, he'll find a way to retaliate against me," Liu Meijuan said hurriedly.

Hearing this, everyone finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. Although they could not attain absolute detachment from emotions and desires, they did not believe their three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance ran that deep either.

As for the child Sun Wu, he always put on a very cold demeanor in front of people he wasn't very familiar with, bearing a striking resemblance to Leng Feng.

"Shimin and I are like brothers, and we both serve the Han Dynasty. How could we engage in fratricide?" Cao Cao waved his hand, his face plastered with absolute disbelief.

"Go to hell with your evil spawn! If I'm an evil spawn, then there isn't a single good person left in this world!" I cursed loudly, reaching out with one hand to choke Daoist Xufeng by the neck. A surge of mystical Qi coursed through my body, denying Xufeng even the chance to catch his breath.

Yet today was only the fifteenth. Going by this date, the two of them must have set off right after the first day of the Lunar New Year.
