452: Chapter 452: A Bloodless Sword 452: Chapter 452: A Bloodless Sword In the car, Long Fei rested with his eyes half-closed, exuding an air of calm self-assurance.
Ajian couldn’t help but ask, “Master Long, aren’t you going to ask what Hong Ye wants from you?”
Long Fei smiled faintly, “I owe Hong Ye a favor.
Whatever he wants done, I’ll help him with it.
Why ask such a question?”
Ajian clasped his fist in admiration and said, “Master Long is truly righteous!”
He Hongtao had gone to great lengths to invite Long Fei, partly to show his respect.
Moreover, it served as a small deterrent.
It was to tell Long Fei, if you don’t show face, don’t bla for being impolite.
At first, Ajian was afraid that Long Fei would decline, but now he saw that the man respected rules, a hundred tis stronger than so self-important big brothers.
This ti, He Hongtao had not only invited Long Fei but also a distinguished master.
This person had a significant reputation in the jianghu and was rumored to be an outer sect disciple of an ancient cultivation sect.
This sect was known as the Divine Sword Sect, and its mbers were said to possess the ability to fly and escape through the earth.
Despite just learning the basics in the sect, he was renowned throughout North Yangtze.
He was known by the nickna “Bloodless Sword,” Zhou Canghai.
Compared to Long Fei, this master’s temperant was much more arrogant.
When he looked at people, he was extrely commanding, as if he were ordering around a dog.
Ajian was quite skilled himself, but he was no match for Zhou Canghai.
In his presence, Ajian could only swallow his frustration.
He vented these vexing matters to Long Fei.
After hearing him out, Long Fei was, in fact, quite intrigued by this master.
The motorcade stopped in the parking lot below the clubhouse; Ajian opened the car door and ushered Long Fei up to the top floor.
From He Hongtao’s office ca bursts of laughter from won.
The grand gang leader of the jianghu, at this mont, was like a lackey, constantly offering drinks to an old man.
In the old man’s arms were two young girls, cuddled on either side.
Despite being advanced in years, with white hair and beard, his hands were still restless, touching the girls incessantly.
Every now and then, he would throw his head back in loud laughter.
Dressed in traditional attire with a queue tied at the back of his head, he exuded a vitality and grandeur despite his lecherous ways.
Behind him stood a woman dressed in a black leather jacket and pants, holding a longsword.
Her figure was voluptuous, her waist soft, and her bosom proud; her facial features were also striking.
But her expression was sowhat icy, and the shape of her face carried a touch of ferocity, making it difficult for anyone to look her in the eye.
She was this master’s proudest female disciple, Leng Shuangning.
Normally, the master took great care of her, always bringing her along whenever he went out.
In addition to holding the sword, at night she could also be held for sleep.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Ajian called Long Fei in, and as he entered, the eyes of everyone in the room instantly focused on him.
He Hongtao quickly got up, greeted Long Fei with clasped fists, and said, “Brother Long, I’ve been waiting here for quite so ti.
It’s truly troubleso for you to have co all this way!”
Long Fei nodded lightly, scanned the room, and asked, “Hong Ye didn’t call over to sing, did he?”
He Hongtao laughed heartily and invited him to sit on the sofa next to him, asking Sister Hong to pour Long Fei a drink right away.
He waved his hand with a sigh and said, “It might make Brother Long laugh, but I’m facing an insurmountable barrier, so I’ve asked Brother Long to co and lend a hand.”
He raised his glass, and shared a drink with Long Fei.
Long Fei asked with curiosity, “In Binhai City, who would dare to provoke Hong Ye?”
He Hongtao touched his head, feeling ashad, “Brother Long thinks too highly of .
I may seem impressive in front of others, but behind the scenes, I’m just a pawn.
Maybe I count as sobody in Binhai City, but outside of it, I know my place.”
He personally took out a cigar and lit it for Long Fei.
Long Fei inquired, “May I ask the background of this enemy?”
He Hongtao said, “It’s actually an old sworn brother of mine.
We started out together in Binhai City over a decade ago.
Later on, so conflicts arose, and we went our separate ways.
He got involved in a serious cri and was wanted by the Official Families at the ti before he escaped to Arica.
Sohow, he encountered a stroke of luck there and acquired so impressive skills.
This man is petty by nature; upon returning, he took revenge on all his old enemies one by one.
Now it’s my turn.
A few days ago, he sent a challenge and has arranged to et today at the Moonshadow Teahouse in the suburbs to settle past scores.
I really had no choice, so I had to ask you to co.”
“I see!”
Long Fei suddenly thought of a na and asked, “The person Hong Ye is talking about, is it Sun Bao?”
“How did you know?”
He Hongtao was sowhat surprised.
Long Fei said, “That’s right, and speaking of which, I have a little score to settle with him too.
A while ago, he crippled my master, Zhou Yunshen’s ridians, and I’ve been worrying about how to find him!”
“Is that so?”
He Hongtao was overjoyed on the inside; he had been worried Long Fei wouldn’t give it his all.
Now, he could rest easy.
He motioned with his finger, and Ajian brought over a suitcase.
The case opened, revealing a heap of cash inside.
He Hongtao said, “Brother Long, I may not have much, but what I do have is money.
Take this five million as your fee for this ti, and please don’t be too polite with .
If it’s not enough, just na your price, and I definitely won’t argue!”
Long Fei smiled faintly, closed the suitcase, and said to him, “Hong Ye, are you trying to send away with this?”
“Brother Long, how could you say that?”
He Hongtao furrowed his brows imdiately.
Long Fei said, “You gave face over that issue with Su Hongda last ti, Hong Ye.
I owe you a favor.
I’m here to repay that favor.
If you give money, wouldn’t that be like slapping in the face?”
“Look at you, Brother Long, so righteous.
It was stingy of !”
He Hongtao, rubbing his head, laughed heartily, and had Ajian take the money away.
He was growing increasingly fond of Long Fei; he was damn well suited to his taste.
Sister Hong, Ajian, and the underlings nearby all followed with their own words of praise, lifting their glasses to toast Long Fei.
Suddenly, Master Zhou, who had been silent all this ti, spoke up with a mix of sarcasm and disdain, “What righteousness?
It seems to he doesn’t have the guts to take the money.”
His disciple, Leng Shuangning, added, “Master is right, so people do have a sense of their own limitations.”
Long Fei glanced at the master and disciple.
He had heard Ajian introduce them on the car ride over.
He couldn’t help but be curious as to what a disciple from such an ancient sect would be like.
Now that he saw them, he was utterly disappointed.
The old man’s cultivation level, probably at the middle stage of Foundation Establishnt, was barely worth ntioning in his eyes.
Such a person truly brought sha to the title of master.
Worried that Long Fei would get angry, He Hongtao hurriedly diated, “We’re all on the sa side here, let’s not say things that hurt the camaraderie.
Later, Master Zhou will take the lead, and Brother Long will assist .
With him here, it gives peace of mind.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Canghai held his head up high, arrogance written all over his face, and said nothing more.
His female disciple, Leng Shuangning, scrutinized Long Fei from head to toe, her eyes brimming with provocation, thinking that if she made a move, Long Fei wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single attack.
To her, that five million would be quite fitting.
