At the mont when Qu Linglong was filled with surprise and suspicion, Yuu Chengfeng laughed and said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, how could you co to my Wind Rain Pavilion without informing , so I can welco you properly..."
What? Wang Xiaoqiang??
Wen Tian, Dongbo Hongying, Luoo Yuxiang, and Qu Linglong were all dumbfounded, utterly shocked,
This year's Challenger for the Throne in the Golden Immortal Ranking competition... Breaking three records in the event... The Administrator in charge of assassination tasks at the Wind and Rain Pavilion of Anyang Region... The King of Windrise and Fall Tribe, invited by the Biluo Heavenly Emperor... And secretly t by the Biluo Heavenly Emperor afterward... A grandson-in-law of the Domain Lord Chang Tianfeng...
These pieces of information flashed through their minds. Although they had never seen Wang Xiaoqiang before, his na was as familiar as thunder to their ears. How could they not know?!
And now, being called out directly by Yuu Chengfeng, the na Wang Xiaoqiang rolled across their hearts like rolling thunder, causing a tremor within the four of them. Wen Tian and Dongbo Hongying were imdiately scared witless, had they known he was Wang Xiaoqiang, they wouldn't have dared to provoke him even if threatened with death.
"No wonder he knows so much about the Wind Rain Pavilion. It turns out he's Wang Xiaoqiang." Luoo Yuxiang and Qu Linglong suddenly realized, and they were also quite frightened, because their previous actions were all seen by Wang Xiaoqiang. Wang Xiaoqiang is not a common person; he was once an Administrator of the Wind Rain Pavilion and knows the ins and outs of the place very well—it would be all too easy for him to bring them to justice.
Yuu Chengfeng appeared amiable, but Wang Xiaoqiang didn't buy it. With a cold face, he sneered and said, "Hmph, Sect Leader Sir, I think you might be mistaken. I'm currently on an important mission. I don't have the ti to just wander around your Wind Rain Pavilion. It was these two who brought here..."
As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he pointed at Wen Tian and Dongbo Hongying. At his gesture, Dongbo Hongying and Wen Tian were utterly terrified.
Yuu Chengfeng's authoritative eyes glanced at Wen Tian and Dongbo Hongying, then suddenly approached Wang Xiaoqiang, and said with a smile, "Little Qiang, I will give you an explanation for this matter. This is not a place to discuss it. Let us go to the Wind Rain Pavilion, where I can be a proper host."
As the Sect Leader of the Wind and Rain Pavilion of Huayin Province, Yuu Chengfeng's insight was naturally extraordinary. He imdiately saw that it was Wen Tian and Dongbo Hongying who provoked Wang Xiaoqiang, not the other way around. Given Wang Xiaoqiang's current identity and status, he had no reason to provoke them—that would be beneath him.
As for Luoo Yuxiang and Qu Linglong, it was obvious they were using public office for personal ends. This could be seen from the headcount of those who erged from the Wind Rain Pavilion because only soone of his level could mobilize thirty assassins, not even Qu Linglong,
so it was all clear at a glance.
If the events of tonight spread, the reputation of the Wind and Rain Pavilion in Huayin Province would be ruined, and as the Sect Leader, he would bear joint responsibility for poor managent. Therefore, he hoped the situation wouldn't escalate and wished for Wang Xiaoqiang to extend so leniency, turning major issues into minor ones and minor ones into none.
But how could Wang Xiaoqiang accept such an account? He sneered and said, "Sect Leader Sir, I, Wang Xiaoqiang, don't tolerate sand in my eyes. This matter was stirred up by this Lord of the City's son. Just bring his son here, and we can get to the bottom of this..."
He said this, pointing at Wen Tian.
Upon hearing this, Wen Tian was so frightened he collapsed.
Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was unwilling to let the matter go, Yuu Chengfeng then shouted at Wen Tian, "You have fifteen minutes to bring your troublemaking son here. If you're late by even a second, you'll face the consequences."
Wen Tian, who was collapsed on the ground, sprung up as if struck by lightning, and then flew off into the distance.
"Little Qiang, this really isn't a place to talk. Please give so face, and let's discuss this inside, shall we?" Yuu Chengfeng lowered his posture to the utmost, nearly pleading with Wang Xiaoqiang,
In fact, if the person standing before him hadn't been Wang Xiaoqiang, even if it were a King of a Tribe, Yuu Chengfeng would have exterminated him with one strike to preserve the greater good and protect his reputation,
But Wang Xiaoqiang was different. Wang Xiaoqiang was once an Administrator of the Wind Rain Pavilion, and he was the grandson-in-law of Chang Tianfeng, a person who had been received by the Biluo Heavenly Emperor, and a King of the Windrise Tribe. If Wang Xiaoqiang died, it would definitely cause a huge uproar. When the investigation ca, it would certainly be traced back to him,
Moreover, Wang Xiaoqiang was the savior of his daughter, Yuu Qingwen, and greatly aided his daughters in the Golden Immortal Ranking competition. Yuu Chengfeng was grateful, let alone consider killing him?
Seeing Yuu Chengfeng setting himself so low, Wang Xiaoqiang did not wish to embarrass him further, so he flung his sleeve, saying, "Alright, then I shall have a cup of tea at your Wind Rain Pavilion." As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he retracted his Pet Beast and the nurous Puppets.
"Ah, please, please." Yuu Chengfeng said happily. Then he coldly told everyone present, "All of you get to the first-floor hall."
At once, Yuu Chengfeng accompanied Wang Xiaoqiang to the first-floor hall of the Wind Rain Pavilion, had soone serve tea, and the two sat and chatted idly.
Qu Linglong and the others stood there respectfully, anxious and uneasy. Each had a look as if catastrophe was imminent.
Yuu Chengfeng began speaking about the Golden Immortal Ranking competition, thanked Wang Xiaoqiang again for saving his daughter, and invited Wang Xiaoqiang to his ho as a guest. Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "Sect Leader Sir, I am currently on a mission for the Heavenly Emperor and dare not delay for even a mont. If I delay the Heavenly Emperor's great matter, I cannot bear the responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Yuu Chengfeng's heart leaped. Working for the Heavenly Emperor? Then doesn't that make Wang Xiaoqiang the envoy of the Heavenly Emperor?
An envoy of the Heavenly Emperor? Who would dare offend?! Who would dare delay the Heavenly Emperor's matters?!
Not to ntion Wen Tian, Dongbo Hongying, Luoo Yuxiang, and Qu Linglong— even he, Yuu Chengfeng, dared not. Yet these people, with no sense of sight, actually went and provoked him!!
At this thought, Yuu Chengfeng glanced at the group standing there, gritting his teeth as a ruthless glint flashed across his face and a murderous intent crossed his heart. Prior to this, he wished to resolve the major issues to minor ones, striving to avoid bloodshed. But now, he wanted to kill every person standing there, including Qu Linglong.
Because as long as Wang Xiaoqiang reported this incident to the Biluo Heavenly Emperor, not only Wen Tian, Dongbo Hongying, Luoo Yuxiang would die, but Qu Linglong would likely die as well, and he, Yuu Chengfeng, would also beco implicated. By then, he wouldn't even be able to hold onto his position as Sect Leader of the Wind Rain Pavilion.
At this mont, Wen Tian brought his son, Young Lord Wen, to the Wind Rain Pavilion. As soon as the father and son entered the first-floor hall, they knelt on the ground with a thud and then crawled step by step, finally prostrating before Wang Xiaoqiang and Yuu Chengfeng, pleading, "The small one is at fault, please Spare , Sect Leader Sir."
"The small one should die, please spare , King of Windrise."
Wang Xiaoqiang, the King of the Windrise Tribe, was addressed by people outside as King of Windrise.
"Young Lord Wen, have your son recount the sequence of events," Yuu Chengfeng said sternly.
"Yes, yes," Wen Tian said, then turned to his son and ordered, "Unfilial son, speak quickly, and don't conceal anything."
The Wind Rain Pavilion is responsible for overseeing the world, and nothing can be hidden from the Wind Rain Pavilion, so Young Lord Wen dared not conceal anything and recounted the whole affair of provoking Wang Xiaoqiang, from beginning to end, until he fainted. After Young Lord Wen finished, Wen Tian then continued recounting the subsequent events precisely as they occurred.
The more Yuu Chengfeng listened, the angrier he beca. By the ti he reached the end, with a sweep of his robe, a burst of frosty air surged out, directly lifting the father and son into the air, freezing them into two icy corpses.
Dongbo Xueying and Luoo Yuxiang trembled all over at the sight. Qu Linglong's jade-like face was ashen. Although she was a Deputy Tower Master and Yuu Chengfeng didn't have the authority to kill her, she knew full well that having offended Wang Xiaoqiang, there would be no good outco; the conclusion would surely be very tragic.
