The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Why is Chapter 1984 asymmetrical again?

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Mother Liu, my rule is very simple: if you want to stay, you must sever all ties with the Liu family. Can you do that?"

Mrs. Liu looked utterly bewildered: "What? What did you say? You want me to sever ties with the Liu family? Are you kidding me? Severing ties with the Liu family is worse than death!"

Chu Tiankuo and Ru Shuang exchanged glances, then looked down at the ground, waiting for a good show to begin!
Feng Jiuxiao said, "Perhaps I've spoken rashly, and you didn't understand at first. I'll say it again: I want you to sever all ties with the Liu family! Sever ties or live! Which do you choose?"

Madam Liu chuckled dryly, "Young master, you are too kind. I cannot comply!"

She sneered inwardly: What a joke! She's lost her mind to sever ties with the Liu family? Without the Liu family's support, could this Heaven on Earth still operate? Could she still live a life of luxury?

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Chief Steward Chu, I'll give you a chance to prove your loyalty: kill Mother!"

Everyone was shocked, including the prostitutes present and the passing customers; they were all quite surprised!
Just a moment ago it was all gentle and breezy, how did it suddenly turn into a dark cloud? His face changes faster than turning the pages of a book, he could kill someone without warning?
What surprised everyone even more was that Chu Tiankuo pulled out a knife without hesitation and stabbed Liu's mother in the chest. With a splattering sound, blood splattered and went all the way up to the hilt of the knife!
Liu's mother stared wide-eyed at Chu Tiankuo, her mouth agape, "You...you..." She couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time!

Pang Shiwu found it hard to believe: "No way, could Steward Chu really do such a thing?"

Chu Tiankuo's face twisted in a ferocious grin: "Whoever my master tells me to kill, I'll kill."

Pang Shiwu's expression became even more exaggerated: "No way? You really are a loyal guy, even more obedient than me!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Alright, don't make things difficult for him! Madam Liu has harmed many girls with extremely cruel methods, and she deserves to die! We wanted to give her a chance to atone for her sins, but she didn't cherish it. What's the point of keeping such a menace around? Killing her is equivalent to avenging those girls who were harmed!"

Pang Shiwu stared at Liu's pale-faced mother, "Is she really that bad?"

Having witnessed the white-clad youth's ruthlessness firsthand, Ru Shuang's last shred of hesitation vanished completely: "That's right! Her evil deeds are simply too numerous to count! Once, a younger sister made a small mistake, and that woman surnamed Liu actually called five men to torture her for a whole day and night, torturing her to death! That sister was only fifteen years old! We wish we could skin her alive, eat her flesh, and tear out her tendons! Even a thousand cuts wouldn't be enough to quell our hatred!"

Pang Shiwu's eyebrows shot up: "What?! Damn it! Five men torturing a fifteen-year-old girl, holy crap, they're beasts, they should be ground to dust!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tiankuo plunged another knife into Liu's mother's chest! The mother breathed her last.
She glared at Chu Tiankuo, who drew his short sword and swept it horizontally, causing Liu Mama's eyes to explode instantly!
Chu Tiankuo kicked Liu Mama over and cursed, "What are you looking at? You're dead and you're still glaring at me? You son of a bitch!"

Pang Shiwu sighed, "Oh dear, she got off too easily. She died so quickly. We should have severed her limbs first, then mutilated her face..."

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Forget it, she's already dead! Let's get down to business. Miss Rushuang, from now on this place is your responsibility. You and Chu Tiankuo should cooperate well. I've already told you what to do, you know what to do! I only have one thing to remember: don't miss any information or intelligence you need to collect, and report to me at any time! You can contact Boss Wei of the silk shop; he has carrier pigeons! Don't inquire about Wei Qiang's affairs, and similarly, don't tell him if Wei Qiang inquires about you! Although you are both responsible to me, you belong to two different systems! Do you understand?"

Ru Shuang nodded immediately: "Understood! Understood!" She was exceptionally intelligent; how could she not understand? Two different systems? The only difference was the ultimate boss! She only had one boss, and that was the white-robed young master, Young Master Long! Although Chu Tiankuo was nominally the general manager of the entire establishment, even a fool knew he was merely Young Master Long's agent! He was responsible for security on both sides and had full authority over the casino, but he certainly couldn't interfere with Heaven on Earth!

Ru Shuang said, "Young master, you didn't even leave one of your own people behind. Aren't you afraid of embezzling the silver?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them! Greed is like a devil. If you don't provoke it, you'll always be a human being! If you provoke it, you'll become a devil! Once you've taken the first bite, you'll be hooked and unable to stop until you burst! Everything you've eaten will eventually be vomited out! Besides losing your life and enjoying a brief period of wealth and glory, what else is there?"

Sweat began to roll down her frosty forehead!
Under the gaze of the white-robed youth, she felt utterly naked and exposed! The white-robed youth possessed an innate, mature, and dignified air that made her dare not act rashly! The white-robed youth's words were like a curse; she could sense that if she embezzled even a single tael of silver, he would immediately notice!

Ru Shuang thought to herself: Although the young master trusts me, what if someone tries to frame me? What if they fabricate evidence, tamper with the ledgers, and make something out of nothing, and the young master gets so angry that he kills me?
The white-clad youth laughed and said, "Kill you without investigating first? Do you think I'm that kind of brainless person?"

Ru Shuang was taken aback: "How could you..."

Feng Jiuxiao said, "That's right! I know what you're thinking! Don't worry! No one dares to frame you! No one dares to tamper with the accounts! If anyone does, I'll kill them!"

Her face was ashen!

This time she finally understood why the other party didn't leave their own people to manage the accounts!
Because it's simply unnecessary!
This young man in white is too extraordinary!

How can nothing escape his eyes? He knows everything I'm thinking! The ridiculous thing is that I'm still trying to figure out how he's preventing me from embezzling or misappropriating my money!

When she saw Liu Mubai and Liu Ruyan's personal belongings, she was actually somewhat skeptical, because who knew whether he had borrowed or stolen them? It was even possible that the Liu family had deliberately given them to him to test everyone!
But Chu Tiankuo stabbed Liu Mama to death right in front of her, making her completely submit! Now, when he directly exposed her innermost thoughts, a chill ran down her spine! Her original seven parts respect and three parts fear turned into ten parts dread! Only dread, no respect! It was terrifying!

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Steward Chu, accompany me on a tour of the town. I want to take over all of the Liu family's businesses! Miss Rushuang, from now on, you're in charge here!"

Ru Shuang glanced around and saw many of her sisters peeking out from various corners, looking in her direction. She knew this was the best time for her to establish her authority, because Young Master Long and Chu Tiankuo were both by her side!
Looking at her sisters and the pimp standing at the door, Ru Shuang declared loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen! From tonight onwards, this Heaven and Earth Palace will belong to Young Master Long and will have no further connection with the Liu family! I, Ru Shuang, will now be in charge here, playing the role of the former Madam Liu! To put it nicely, I'll call you Madam; to put it bluntly, I'll call you Madam!"

A few of the girls burst out laughing!
Without changing his expression, he said, "From now on, I'll give you two choices! Either leave or stay! Those who choose to leave, I won't ask for your ransom, and I'll even give each of you two hundred taels of silver as a severance package!"

Some of the girls started whispering among themselves!
"Sister Ru Shuang, are you telling the truth? Can we really leave?"

"Yes, Sister Rushuang, is it really true that the Liu family won't bring us back?"

"Sister Ru Shuang, you're not trying to trick us too, are you?"

Ru Shuang asked, "What do you mean by 'routine'?"

Someone responded, "That means you're digging a pit for us to jump into!" Ru Shuang looked at Feng Jiuxiao, spread her hands, and said self-deprecatingly, "Young Master, you see? They're already like frightened birds. It will take a lot of effort to make them completely believe you!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Don't bring up difficulties! This is something you should handle!"

Ru Shuang was stunned for a moment before she recovered.
Feng Jiuxiao said, "From now on, you must always remember that your identity has changed. You are no longer the top courtesan here, nor are you the former queen of flowers. You are the madam, or to put it bluntly, the brothel madam! All the difficulties, troubles, and problems here are for you to solve! You need to stand in a higher position and see further. You can't rise in rank but not in vision!"

Ru Shuang was covered in cold sweat!
Feng Jiuxiao turned to the crowd and said, "The Liu family no longer exists, so you don't need to worry about them anymore!"

The girls upstairs and downstairs just stared, no one saying a word.

Just then, a burly man, shirtless and reeking of alcohol, came out from the second floor. "Who's making such a racket downstairs in the middle of the night?" He looked down and saw several young men staring at him. Liu Mama was lying on the ground with a pool of blood on her chest; she looked dead. His expression immediately changed, and he roared, "Who did this?"

No one paid him any attention, and the girls shrank back in fear, afraid that he would see them!
Pang Shiwu looked up at him and said, "Who the hell are you? What the hell are you yelling about in the middle of the night?"

The burly man was taken aback, then flew into a rage: "Who are you talking to, you brat?"

Pang Shiwu glanced at him sideways: "Who are you asking, you brat?"

The burly man cursed, "You brat, I'm asking you a question!" Realizing his mistake, he became even more enraged and jumped off the second floor!
Before he even landed, Pang Shiwu unleashed a punch!
Bah!
The figure flew out and crashed into the red magic pillar!
Ru Shuang was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Ouch!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "What? Are you afraid of damaging the phoenix patterns on the pillar?"

Ru Shuang nodded, watching the burly man slowly slide down the pillar, only to discover that the phoenix relief behind him was completely undamaged! It was incredible that he hadn't broken the relief despite flying so forcefully!

The big man grimaced in pain, his chest bruised, but one of his sternums was still intact!
Pang Shiwu looked at Chu Tiankuo and laughed, "This punch was all bark and no bite. What do you think?"

Chu Tiankuo chuckled, "Although I don't understand, I at least know that your control over your strength has reached a superb level! If I had your strength, I could send a man weighing nearly 200 pounds flying. At the very least, his ribs would be shattered, and he would be spitting blood. Even if he didn't die, he would be barely breathing! I wouldn't even dare to dream of such complete control as you!"

The big man was in so much pain that he couldn't even stand up!

He clutched his chest with his left hand, his face ashen, as if all the blood in his body had rushed to his chest. His breathing was rapid, and he pointed at Pang Shiwu with his right hand, saying in a hoarse voice, "Who the hell are you?"

Pang Shiwu stood about three zhang away from the big man, raised his right palm, blew a breath, and said, "Try my Shadowless Divine Palm!" With a flick of his wrist, a red mark appeared on the big man's right cheek, revealing his five fingers!

The big man cried out in pain!
The others were also startled!
How can someone slap someone from such a distance? Is this some kind of sorcery?
The pimp knew some martial arts and knew that the young man's martial arts had reached the pinnacle, probably at least the legendary Ninth Realm of Glazed Glass!
At the peak of the ninth realm, one can capture dragons and control cranes!
The force of his slap seemed simple, but it was actually concentrated and not dispersed. Even from a distance of three zhang, it still managed to hit the big man's face solidly, and it only injured him without killing him. This was simply unbelievable!
I once practiced the Splitting Fist, with several sheets of Xuan paper suspended in mid-air, each sheet spaced three inches apart!
He could shatter five pages of Xuan paper with a single punch from a distance! Every single page would be pierced by the force of his punch!
The force of the punch had reached its limit after breaking through the fifth page, but by the time it reached the sixth page, it was as light as a breeze, and the paper only swayed slightly without breaking at all!
Pang Shiwu glanced left and right, looking uncomfortable. He frowned and said, "The right side looks a bit swollen, not quite asymmetrical. No wonder it looks awkward." He then slapped the big man across the left cheek, leaving a handprint.

The big man's cheeks were now red and swollen, finally symmetrical!

He pointed at Pang Shiwu, his face contorted with rage, and gasped, "You...you..."

Pang Shiwu frowned and said, "What the hell are you talking about!"

The burly man was furious. "I...I..."

Pang Shiwu mimicked him: "I...I...I'm your father!"

After hesitating for a long time, the burly man finally managed to utter a complete sentence clearly: "Do you know who I am? How dare you offend me!"

Pang Shiwu tilted his ear and said, "I'm all ears!"

The burly man declared, "I am Liu Quan! The head steward of the Liu family!"

Pang Shiwu's eyes widened as he looked at Feng Jiuxiao.

Feng Jiuxiao also looked at Pang Shiwu, and the two of them chuckled at the same time!
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
Just when they were planning to take over the entire Liu family business, lo and behold, their head steward appeared! Aside from Liu Mubai, this head steward probably knows the Liu family's business situation best! What a treasure!

Pang Shiwu suddenly strode up to the burly man, carefully helped the steward to his feet, and said softly, "Oh dear, I'm sorry you were frightened, Steward!"

Liu Quan was taken aback, then assumed they were frightened by his name. He immediately raised his head again, his lips curled down, and he revealed his arrogant and condescending attitude once more!
Pang Shiwu was stunned for a moment, then slapped him hard across the face. "I helped you up because I was afraid you'd die here, and you're acting all high and mighty again?"

The burly man was both shocked and frightened. "You... why did you hit me again?"

Pang Shiwu frowned as he looked at the big man, whose left side had been knocked out of shape, making his left cheek appear slightly sunken. "Why is it asymmetrical again?" he asked.

The burly man immediately covered his face with his hands, shouting, "Stop hitting me!"

Thank you for your strong support and encouragement from Yudong!
