I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 71: Warning of a Fight to the Death
"What just happened?"

"Am I blinded?"

Leng Wuqing asked in a low voice, turning his head in confusion.

Hu Xianfeng also shook his head, expressing his incomprehension: "I... don't understand it either."

When he said he didn't understand, he didn't mean he didn't understand what happened, but he didn't understand how Bai Xuan's sword separated the two weapons.

In the confrontation between true masters, the power is completely concentrated on one point, how can it be more than ten thousand kilograms of power?
Judging from the expressions of Huang Tianbao and Master Jingxuan, they were clearly furious and hadn't intentionally held back. So it was definitely not the case that they had deliberately withdrawn their strength when Bai Xuan launched his sword strike. Quite the contrary, judging from the expressions of these two masters, they hadn't anticipated this situation...

Bai Xuan had no cultivation, so he easily separated the two with just one slash of his sword.

That sword looked nothing special.

But it's definitely not that simple.

Leng Wuqing thought he was dazzled, and Hu Xianfeng said he didn't understand, both based on the mentality of "I don't understand but I am shocked."

Even the two famous detectives were doubting whether their eyesight was insufficient. The other people around them were either stunned or wiping their eyes hard, and their dull expressions looked quite funny.

"This is too, too..." The number one disciple of Baimei Sect opened his mouth, unable to find a suitable description.

"He's too brave, isn't he?" Baimei Sect's second disciple continued, "He actually dared to charge into the exchange area between two Grandmasters."

Luoluo's eyes were full of stars: "Master is so awesome!"

Ning Jianshuang did not look happy, but was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He confirmed again and again that everything was fine at the scene before he felt a little relieved.

She knew how dangerous the situation was.

I felt a strong sense of regret in my heart.

Some things can be done again and again, but not three times.

In such a short period of time, I brought him into so much danger, all because of my uselessness...but I am obviously his elder sister.

Om-!
Inside the courtyard, a sword chant was heard.

Bai Xuan flicked his sword and coldly ordered the guests to leave: "Uninvited guests, this is not welcome in the Jiang family. Please leave immediately."

This sound brought the two masters who were a little distracted back to their senses.

Huang Tianbao looked at the direction his weapon flew, then glanced at his hands. His gaze shifted to the overly young boy. With a hint of reluctance and suspicion, he slowly asked, "What was the origin of that sword just now?"

"After I answer you, will you leave on your own?"

"meeting."

"It's nothing special, just an ordinary sword." Bai Xuan replied: "It just requires a slightly higher level of eyesight."

"..."

Huang Tianbao didn't know whether he accepted this answer or not. After listening to it, he turned around and walked out the door, leaving behind a sentence: "I am willing to accept the loss of the bet. Losing a move is still losing. From now on, Wuwei Escort Agency will not cause trouble for the Jiang family again."

Song Qingtang was anxious: "Huang Biaotou..."

"Master Song, if I lose, I lose. I am a man of the world, not a shameless mad dog."

Huang Tianbao walked out of the gate empty-handed and led a group of bodyguards away.

As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.

It can be considered as maintaining some dignity.

Song Qingtang was left there with an embarrassed expression.

When Master Jingxuan saw that the person who was looking for trouble had left, she naturally put away her unhappiness.

At the same time, the look he gave Bai Xuan was no longer simply one of a junior, but rather a bit more serious.

She was not sure that she could easily force back the stubborn Huang Tianbao by herself, but she relied on the sword of the young man, who was as graceful as an antelope hanging on a horn and as light as a startled swan, to cut off the intersection of the two forces without any error.

As the person involved, she could sense the exquisite grasp of timing and precision in this sword. Huang Tianbao's level was not as high as hers, so he couldn't even hold the weapon, and it flew out of his hand due to his own strength.

There is nothing sophisticated about the sword technique itself; the truly powerful one is the person holding the sword!
"Jiang Baichuan was blind his entire life, but before he died, he was lucky enough to have a good adopted son."

Master Jingxuan left a comment.

Even when praising Bai Xuan, she did not forget to step on her fiancé, secretly scolding the old man for having no vision.

She had no interest or shame to stay here at this moment. She originally wanted to help the younger generation and vent her anger at the same time, but she almost destroyed the Jiang family.

"If I continue to stay, I will become a bad guest. I have already said goodbye, so I will take my leave... Qingshu, He'er."

"Okay." Bai Xuan nodded: "I'll see the nun out."

The distance of a few steps is nothing. It’s mainly a matter of social etiquette. Seeing someone off shows respect. This incident did not leave any friction in the relationship between the two parties.

Master Jingxuan nodded slightly, thinking that this child was indeed sensible.

Before leading her two disciples away, she left a message.

"Ning Jianshuang is right not to let you take action. If others knew that the Fourth Chengfeng was in your hands, the Jiang family would never have peace again."

"Since you've deliberately suppressed your realm to hide your weakness, don't attack rashly."

"If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can come to Baimei Sect to find me. I am not the same person I was fifteen years ago. I can keep you safe."

Bai Xuan listened silently and saluted: "The journey is long, I wish you a safe journey."

"Brother Bai, see you in half a year." The second disciple He'er waved her hand.

"Mr. Bai, Miss Ning...see you later in the world." Qingshu seemed more steady.

The three of them left in the night.

Next it was the turn of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Alright, pack up! Leave one squad here to guard against any thugs coming in and causing trouble." Hu Xianfeng raised his hand: "Everyone else, disperse."

After groups of people left, the Jiang family's front door suddenly became much wider and became a scene that suited the style of a funeral.

You can have a grand celebration during the day, with the whole village, young and old, waiting for the food to be served, but after nightfall, it all comes down to quiet.

Hu Xianfeng walked to the door and said, "Young Master Bai, do you mind if I go in and pay you a visit? I've heard a lot about Senior Jiang Baichuan."

"Please come in... Boss, are you well-known in your industry?"

"Of course he's famous. Whoever can catch him will be directly granted a title of nobility." Hu Xianfeng said, "The court has a high reward for him, but it requires him to be captured alive."

Leng Wuqing followed closely behind, continuing, "The court has no intention of revenge. You can rest assured. Although Jiang Shenlong does not have the status of a noble, that is because he did not want to be conferred. Jiang Shenlong is a founding hero who followed Taizu. His status is no less than that of the Duke of Ningguo. Besides, Jiang Baichuan did not actually stand on the wrong side back then..."

"What do you mean?" Bai Xuan asked, "Is there any secret behind that night in the Forbidden City fifteen years ago?"

"If Mr. Bai wants to know, you can go and ask His Royal Highness Prince Yun in person." Leng Wuqing deliberately kept the secret.

Before she could finish her words, a hand reached out and pulled Leng Wuqing aside. Ning Jianshuang moved closer to Bai Xuan, a look of vigilance on her face: "I thought you came here to support me, but you turned out to be here to steal me?"

"How could that be?" Leng Wuqing said calmly, "I'm just standing up for you now."

She signaled with her eyes.

Several people looked over at the same time, and their eyes met on the same person.

Song Qingtang, the owner of Qingyun Tower.

It's no exaggeration to say that he was the one who instigated the situation tonight.

Without Bai Xuan's divine sword strike, this conflict would never have been resolved so easily. Ning Jianshuang's eyes were cold.

She knew that Song Qingtang was ambitious, and she had always been tolerant of him because of her own lack of strength and prestige, and also because Song Qingtang was really capable.

However, the power struggle within the Juyi Pavilion is one thing. It is a gang organization, and it is normal for the capable to be in power. But this time he joined forces with the Wuwei Escort Agency and targeted the time of the funeral to put pressure on them. He can be said to be using any means necessary.

The words that Master Jingxuan said earlier still linger in my mind - you only know that wolves are ambitious animals, but do you know what the consequences will be if you fail in the competition for the leader of the wolf pack?

The answer is exile.

Juyi Pavilion cannot tolerate such a person who disregards past friendship.

"Niece Ning..." Song Qingtang thought about what to say, trying to ease the situation.

"Please address me as Pavilion Master Ning, or Miss Ning." Ning Jianshuang's tone contained a hint of murderous intent, and she was truly angry.

Song Qingtang's expression froze, and he stopped forcing himself to smile. He patted his robe pretentiously and said, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Since I lost, the position of Pavilion Master will still be yours. However, I have run Qingyun Tower for more than ten years, so it is unlikely that I will just hand it over."

"Qingyun Tower is the property of Juyi Pavilion." Ning Jianshuang said coldly, "You have no right to claim it as your own."

"It can only play its greatest role in my hands. Without Qingyun Tower, Juyi Pavilion will be severely damaged." Song Qingtang suggested: "Why not just stick to the past and pretend that what happened tonight never happened..."

Leng Wuqing couldn't help laughing. Even her ice-cold beauty character couldn't hold back her laughter. She was so angry that she laughed.

"This person is completely shameless."

"We can't control this matter." Hu Xianfeng deliberately gave an on-site explanation: "As long as it doesn't violate the law, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has no right to interfere. Moreover, this is an internal matter of the Juyi Pavilion. If they want to define him as a traitor and purge him, the Juyi Pavilion will have to do it themselves..."

Li Qian, the owner of Yanbo Tower, frowned secretly. It was not an easy task to eliminate Song Qingtang. If he really made up his mind to do it, he would definitely have to pay a heavy price.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door again, and another new person came.

There were three people in total, all dressed in black. They were obviously people who came to pay their respects. Their clothes were very solemn and elegant.

They are obviously different from the gang of gangsters who come in in casual clothes. Their etiquette can be seen from their attire.

"Meet Miss Ning, Young Master Bai..."

"The three of us are the owners of Xiaolin Bookstore, Wulin Winery, and Kelin Clothing Store."

"I heard about the Jiang family's funeral. At the request of my superiors, I came here today to offer my condolences."

The three shopkeepers all smiled sincerely, "Originally, the Minister of Works, Lord Lin Aiyu, was also planning to come, but the Ministry was busy, and we waited all afternoon, and he couldn't spare the time. So he asked the three of us to come ahead, which delayed him a lot. I'm really ashamed."

From their surnames, we can tell that these three people are from the Langya Lin clan, and the Minister of Works is also from the Langya Lin clan.

The identity is extremely clear.

But why did the Langya Lin family come to mourn Jiang Baichuan?
The prestigious family is a thousand-year-old family. In the eyes of the other party, the size of the Jiang family is just a small Karami, and there is no need to curry favor with them.

There is almost no contact between them.

The two famous detectives of the Embroidered Uniform Guard looked puzzled, while Song Qingtang's expression changed slightly, his eyes filled with fear and doubt. He kept looking back and forth in front of the few people, sensing that something was wrong.

Ning Jianshuang's expression remained calm when she heard the name and surname. She didn't care what the Lin family thought, but she would never agree to let Erlang marry into the family.

Seeing that it was someone from the Lin family, Bai Xuan said calmly, "The three shopkeepers, please come in and have a chat."

"Thank you, Young Master Bai."

"But before you go in to pay your respects, do you need to prioritize taking care of some small matters outside?"

A shopkeeper slapped his thigh heavily, looking extremely annoyed. "I just learned about what happened to the Jiang family on the way. I really regret that the three of us couldn't get there in time, causing Miss Ning and Young Master Bai to suffer so much."

His annoyance was not fake.

If we had come here earlier, it would not be a problem for the Lin family to come forward and intimidate a group of people from the underworld, and this favor would have been sold.

Fortunately, it's not too late.

"We also heard the conversation outside the door just now."

"If Pavilion Master Ning and Young Master Bai are unable to take action, we are willing to do it for them."

"If we don't deal with this traitor who turned against his master quickly, are we going to keep him around until the New Year?"

The slightly plump shopkeeper smiled sincerely, but his words were full of murderous intent.

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Qingtang's face turned pale.

He could act shamelessly towards Ning Jianshuang, but facing the Langya Lin Clan's killing order, he couldn't get hard at all, and all the bones in his body were numb.

It is not difficult for the latter to want him to die… He is just an embarrassing half-sect who cannot even be listed in the Book of Bu Tian.

He was about to argue, but found that the three shopkeepers didn't even look at him.

He only showed kindness to Ning Jianshuang and Bai Xuan, and his attitude was polite and almost humble.

"Of course, of course, we are not trying to interfere in the internal affairs of Juyi Pavilion."

"It's just a suggestion. If you need any help, feel free to ask."

"Next, I actually have a few business deals I'd like to discuss with the owners of Juyi Pavilion."

The three shopkeepers spoke one by one, with an extremely friendly attitude.

This scene seems even more bizarre in the eyes of those who are not in the know.

Leng Wuqing murmured: It is necessary to find out what happened.

Ning Jianshuang said nothing, just glanced at Song Qingtang.

The half-sect's voice changed: "Niece Ning, I held you in my arms when you were a child."

Ning Jianshuang: "..."

Although Song Qingtang gave in, Ning Jianshuang was not happy. She frowned and felt extremely conflicted.

Although she could use the reputation of the Lin family to suppress Song Qingtang at this time, she did not feel happy at all. She felt unhappy that she was being cuckolded.

"I said..." Bai Xuan began.

"Please speak." The three shopkeepers immediately responded, and this became a respectful title.

Bai Xuan didn't speak to them, but turned directly to Song Qingtang: "Are you decent yourself, or do you need someone to help you look decent?"

Song Qingtang bowed deeply and said sincerely, "From now on, I will give up my position as the owner of Qingyun Tower, leave Jiankang, and never return."

...Just want to survive.

"Please get out of here."

"..."

Song gritted his teeth, climbed over the wall, and disappeared into the night.

Leng Wuqing looked at the other person's back as he left, and said with some regret: "This kind of person remembers grudges but not kindness. He shouldn't be let go so easily."

"If we don't let him go, he will escape anyway. If we don't deal with him, he will also be a disaster if he stays inside."

"There's no absolutely right choice in this matter, only long-term pain and short-term pain."

Bai Xuan's eyes were calm: "I hope I don't see him again, otherwise the next time we meet, it will be a fight to the death."
