"My heavens! This... how could this be possible?"
"Is that even human? Crossing the Yangtze River with just a log? And it looks like he didn’t row at all!"
"This... this is so unscientific. Am I dreaming?"
Seeing that towering man approaching, the underlings of Black Tiger Hall were all stunned.
Such a scene, they had only seen in movies. Encountering it in real life was unfathomable, so they could hardly believe it.
But regardless of their disbelief, the towering man continued to close in.
When the distance between the log and the ferry bridge was less than a hundred ters, the towering man bellowed fiercely. His muscles suddenly bulged, then, with just the tip of his toes touching the ground, he leapt high into the air like a crossing swallow, landing steadily right in front of the crowd.
Drip! Drip!
A few drops of river water slowly dripped off the towering man, instantly pulling Bai Que back to reality. Bai Que quickly stepped forward and asked, "Who might you be?"
"You’re Bai Que?" The towering man glanced at Bai Que and asked.
That single glance sent a chill through Bai Que’s heart, making his voice beco respectful in an instant. He imdiately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I belong to the Black Tiger Hall..."
"I don’t care if you’re Bai Que or not!"
Before Bai Que could finish, the towering man impatiently interrupted, "I am Lei Ming! My master sent here for two purposes. First, to unify all the underground factions in Su Province."
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, Bai Que imdiately took a sharp breath.
If soone had told him this before eting Lei Ming, Bai Que would absolutely have scoffed, calling it wishful thinking.
But now, having witnessed Lei Ming’s extraordinary feat of crossing the Yangtze with a single log, Bai Que was at a loss for words.
Nonetheless, since Lei Ming had co, Bai Que quickly asked, "And what is Master Lei’s second purpose?"
"Naturally, it’s to avenge my junior brother Huang Xiong!"
Lei Ming stared coldly at Bai Que and asked, "My junior brother Huang Xiong ca here to assist your Black Tiger Hall, but now not even his remains are left! Tell , how did my junior brother die?"
"He... He was killed by Hee Ming, the leader of the Yuntai Fla Dragon Association," Bai Que hurriedly replied.
"Nonsense! My junior brother is a master of Hidden Energy. How could a re leader of an underground faction defeat him? Are you lying to ?"
As Lei Ming spoke, he darted forward like lightning, grabbed Bai Que by the collar, and roared furiously, "Do you have a death wish?"
"No, no, Master Lei, please calm down!"
Bai Que, staring into Lei Ming’s murderous gaze, imdiately exclaid in terror, "Your junior brother was indeed killed by Hee Ming. However, the one who captured him was not Hee Ming, but a man called Mr. Ye!"
"Mr. Ye?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Ming slowly loosened his grip and said, "Explain. What exactly happened?"
"Here’s how it is..."
Once Lei Ming set Bai Que down, Bai Que dared not conceal even the slightest detail. He imdiately poured out everything he knew.
anwhile, the coldness in Lei Ming’s eyes only grew more intense.
"So, the culprits are that so-called Mr. Ye and Hee Ming, correct? Where are they now?" Lei Ming asked coldly.
"Hee Ming is certainly in Yuntai, but as for Mr. Ye, his identity is mysterious. To this day, I’ve yet to figure out exactly who he is!" Bai Que replied, slightly troubled.
"Haven’t figured it out? Then what use are you to ?" Lei Ming imdiately grew angry once again.
Noticing this, Bai Que quickly said, "Master Lei, please calm down! I’ve already devised a plan to lure Mr. Ye out; I only need Master Lei to wait a few days!"
"Oh? What plan?" Lei Ming asked imdiately.
"It’s like this!"
Bai Que quickly explained, "Each year, Su Province hosts a United Comrce, where various factions undergo reorganization. The most direct thod is for each faction to send their n to compete in martial arts matches. This year’s United Comrce will convene in a few days. I believe Hee Ming will surely involve that Mr. Ye to ensure victory!"
"The United Comrce of the factions, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Ming chuckled, "That works too! If all the factions attend, I won’t bother hunting them down one by one. I’ll seize control of them all during the United Comrce, complete the unification of Su Province’s underground forces, and kill both Mr. Ye and Hee Ming to avenge Huang Xiong."
"So, Master Lei, you’re agreeing to participate in the United Comrce?" Bai Que asked, clearly delighted.
All his efforts, including relocating from Northern Su to Southern Su, ultimately led to this point.
Wasn’t it all to cut down Hee Ming and gain enough benefits from the United Comrce?
With Lei Ming’s aid, Bai Que felt this was now a sure thing.
Seeing Bai Que’s reaction, Lei Ming nodded dismissively and said, "Naturally. Prepare a place to rest. During the United Comrce, I’ll indulge in a killing spree!"
As Lei Ming spoke, an endless killing intent flashed in his eyes...
"Master! Are you cultivating?"
The next afternoon, inside the Purple Mist Mountain Villa.
Master Ma stood respectfully at Ye Fei’s door and asked.
"Enter,"
ca Ye Fei’s faint reply from inside.
Upon hearing this, Master Ma imdiately pushed open the door, saying, "Master, this year’s United Comrce location has been decided. It’ll be held in North Suburb. Guo Wenyuan called earlier to say he’ll co to pick you up on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, three days from now."
"North Suburb? Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Ye Fei paused for a mont, seemingly lost in thought for a while.
Noticing Ye Fei’s reaction, Master Ma asked curiously, "Master, is sothing the matter?"
"Not exactly. It’s just that North Suburb... I haven’t been back in years!"
Ye Fei smiled faintly.
The North Suburb City was Ye Fei’s hotown.
Though it was close to Yuntai, traveling there by train still cost seventy to eighty yuan,
which had once been Ye Fei’s food budget for two to three days.
During his university years, Ye Fei only returned ho every two years. Now, thinking back, it had already been two years since his last visit!
The ntion of North Suburb stirred mories of his parents and his cute little sister, who was in high school.
Smiling, Ye Fei said, "Master Ma, please arrange for a car and prepare gifts suitable for the elderly and young girls. We’ll set out this afternoon!"
Gifts for the elderly and young girls?
Master Ma was slightly puzzled, but since Ye Fei had ordered it, he quickly complied and asked, "What about Guo Wenyuan? Should we inform him?"
"Just tell him I’ll arrive for the United Comrce duel on ti. But no need for him to co pick up; I plan to visit ho beforehand!" Ye Fei replied with a smile.
"Visit ho?"
Master Ma finally understood and imdiately said, "Understood, Master. I’ll handle it right away!"
With that, Master Ma left the room.
anwhile, Ye Fei gazed at the ceiling and murmured softly, "Mom, Dad, Little Sister, your Xiao Fei is coming ho!"
