He roared at everyone; nothing could calm him down now, filled with anger and destruction, he rushed out of the room.
The white Land Rover sped through the streets, Hua Muyun ordered his n to follow closely while dialing Xiao Zhenfeng's phone. "Qing Yi is heading towards your direction, in his current state, he might tear down your Liger City."
Four days had passed since losing track of Xiao Lin, even he, as a father, was completely clueless. Along with him, Yelu Shou had disappeared as well. This was not just one person vanishing; the entire Dark Realm was beginning to stir restlessly.
Fingers tapped on the desktop, the people dispatched didn't return, with the last trace seen in a small town in the Guang Xi area. This wouldn't calm Hua Qingyi, Xiao Zhenfeng knew this; he could find soone to knock out the rampaging young Lion and send him back, but that wouldn't solve the problem. It seed Hua Muyun was helpless with his son and had revealed the situation.
Watching Xiao Zhenfeng's face, uncertain and gloomy, Lucifer sat expressionless with legs crossed, waiting as if for the storm to hit, lips tightly shut, the air carrying an uneasy warmth, he frowned—a sign that soone unusual was nearby.
"Did you hear?" Xiao Zhenfeng slowly spoke, not asking but stating.
"I heard, it's none of my business."
"'Black Crow' and 'Dark' have always been at odds, are you aware of the consequences? You might implicate ."
"Even if an incompetent person becos a leader, they'll still get pulled down; the leader of 'Dark' isn't within my scope of control."
"So you admit it was you?"
"Using any ans to achieve clarity is what you taught , Master."
Xiao Zhenfeng laughed instead of getting angry. "I asked you to find DOMO, you led Xiao Lin out of my sphere of influence to Guang Xi, you..."
"You're wrong, it wasn't leading him to Guang Xi, he went there himself." Lucifer interrupted Xiao Zhenfeng, feeling he should explain. "Future heirs are quite interested in past events, I only perform the sa actions in different areas, our 'Black Crow' won't just give up like that. Since it was a ga Master started, even a call to stop won't help now."
"I've already slled blood; Lucifer, you've started an unnecessary war. I hope you cease before it spirals out of control."
"Although 'Black Crow' was created by you, Master, we have our way of handling things. If your heir can't escape this predicant, I can't acknowledge him."
"Even at the expense of sacrificing your own n?"
"How do you know it'd surely be my n? You slled the blood; perhaps it's soone else." Lucifer showed rare nuance as he confidently glared back. A bright butterfly fluttered out from under his clothes, flapping its wings in the air but, inexplicably, after a few beats, emitted green smoke and then fell onto the table, catching fire.
The door burst open; as abruptly as a ghost, Lucifer vanished in front of Xiao Zhenfeng, leaving the angrily charged Hua Qingyi storming ahead, not imdiately noticing him, as he breathed heavily before Xiao Zhenfeng.
"Qing Yi, we haven't chatted for a long ti, sit down, is your injury better?"
"Sorry, Uncle Xiao, please forgive my rudeness, I'm not here for tea." Before Xiao Zhenfeng, Hua Qingyi sowhat restrained himself.
"Hmm, your dad told ." Xiao Zhenfeng patted Hua Qingyi's shoulder. "Even if you didn't co, I'd have soone find you. Xiao Lin's last known location was in a village in Guang Xi, do you know why he went there?"
"Elder Miao."
"You've always been curious about what happened more than ten years ago, and you know Xiao Lin is straight-headed; even if he didn't go looking, I'd tell him."
"Would Uncle Xiao really reveal it?" Hua Qingyi skeptically eyed Xiao Zhenfeng.
"The primary task now is to find him. That village is the last settlent before entering the primary forest, though so villages exist in the mountains, that vast jungle would cause anyone unequipped to get lost."
"Can Uncle Xiao share the final location address with ?"
"I'm telling you not to find him, but rather, assigning you another task."
"I don't understand what you an, Uncle Xiao!"
"The Wang Family has already fallen, the city issued a wanted order, Wang Zhantian's whereabouts are unknown, Wang Zhanting is publicly claiming illness, so..."
"Uncle Xiao's intention is for to quickly find Wang Zhantian and arrest him."
"Last ti, you secretly sent Arthur's group to Italy. We've already received a response from there, and at the sa ti, we've got a very reliable piece of news. Wang Zhantian appeared on the streets of Italy two days ago. I've already sent the Military Advisor to the United States to gather so information. As soon as the news is confird, you'll need to depart at any mont. Do you understand?"
"But my brother's whereabouts are currently unknown."
"He's my son, I naturally know how to handle this. Right now, the nation's interests are at stake. With such a dangerous elent out there, can you be at ease?"
Hua Qingyi remained silent. With such a heavy responsibility placed over him, who would dare to bear it? "Your father also has a lot on his shoulders now. You have to trust Xiao Lin, he's not that incompetent. Moreover, this disappearance is not simple. If you rashly proceed forward, you might fall right into the opponent's trap. It's a sensitive ti now, everything must be approached cautiously."
"I understand, but I hope Uncle Xiao will keep in touch with at all tis. I need to know everything about my brother's situation."
"Hmm, during this period, stay at Dragon Soul, train diligently until I notify you."
After seeing Hua Qingyi off, Xiao Zhenfeng curved his lips into a smile, as if everything was proceeding smoothly and advancing in the planned direction. He abruptly stood up, the charred corpse of the butterfly still on the table, causing him to frown. "Fla Swallow, did I forget to tell you? Don't provoke Lucifer."
"He was disrespectful to the master." Fla Swallow jumped down from the vent, a face so unsightly it was almost unbearable faced Xiao Zhenfeng.
"There are plenty of people disrespectful to , yet I've never seen you lose your composure like this." Facing the unsightly face, Xiao Zhenfeng continued drinking tea, completely numb and indifferent. "Next ti, wear a mask and show your back! Is it because of Xiao Lin?"
"The master is playing a big ga this ti, and Fla Swallow can't agree."
"Oh, it's because of then!" Xiao Zhenfeng chuckled. "You've never had any opinion on my actions. Where do you think I went wrong this ti?"
"The master's ideas are never wrong, but the young master isn't a fool. Doing this will make him even more angry."
"Once you understand anger, you'll understand retaliation. There's sothing Lucifer didn't say: if he can't break this predicant, he's not qualified to be recognized by others. The one who sets the trap also needs soone willing to enter the trap."
Fla Swallow blinked, half understanding. When he didn't speak, it generally ant he disagreed with the concept. Xiao Zhenfeng nonchalantly drank his tea. "You killed Lucifer's butterfly, he'll co looking for you anyti. You'll just follow , stick to for 24 hours straight."
"He can't beat !"
"Hmm, he can't beat you when you're reckless, but without Xiao Lin, who will heal you?"
Fla Swallow snorted twice, unwilling to accept the response. Following for 24 hours, trying to vent on that guy wasn't going to happen. "Fla Swallow, who do you think will be the unlucky one this ti?"
"Lucifer stayed in Liger City, the Magician was sent there. The rest are Angel, Code Seven, and the Clown. I think it might be Code Seven because he's the most impulsive."
Xiao Zhenfeng mysteriously smiled, as if the ending had already been anticipated.
The sound of the golden gong stopped, Nan Qi was placed neatly on the platform supported by firewood and hay, facing the mountains. The village chief and a few strangely dressed people danced in front of the platform, making incoherent sounds, like chanting or other kinds of curses. The villagers began to sway along suddenly, the man wearing a tall hat in the center shouted loudly, and the village chief's torch flew towards Nan Qi's corpse, igniting the oil-covered wood which imdiately shot up flas high into the sky, coloring the entire mountain red.
"The dead cannot return, Mr. Clown, what's your assassin's view on death?" Standing at a distance, Xiao Lin suddenly embraced the old woman, affectionately lowering his head with a smile. "Doesn't watching such a ceremony seem interesting?" The old woman wanted to push Xiao Lin away but ended up held tighter. "You look no different from an old lady. What's your relation with Fla Swallow? Do you also know the Disguise Technique? Or is this how you actually look? It's a pity for a young girl's face."
"Do you think you can succeed with such taunts? You're underestimating us."
"Such a young voice, I really want to witness your elegance." His hands beca more audacious, entwining the old woman's face, wanting to tug off her mask.
"If you don't let go, I'll scream!" The old woman covered her chest with one hand, loudly shouting to draw attention.
"Mr. Clown, have you forgotten you're now a matron? Using such a young voice, won't it arouse suspicion?" Xiao Lin continued pressing the old woman, forcing her into the bamboo house's room, slamming the door to isolate the outside world.
"What exactly do you want? Trying to force into a fight?, that's impossible. If you dare to act recklessly, the villagers will tear you to pieces, claiming you're bullying the weak."
"Oh, is that so? What's your agreent? You want ? Mu Rongyun wants Elder Miao, what about the village chief? Money?"
With Xiao Lin progressively pressing closer, the old woman abruptly leaped aside, nimble and light in her movents. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
