Li Banfeng directly confronted him, suspecting that Shui Yongquan had been betrayed by Wang Zimian.
Wang Zimian said Shui Yongquan had been sent to the Outside Provinces, given Snowflake Beach's past actions, it was highly possible that Shui Yongquan was sold to the Outside Provinces.
With words laid out like this, the two sides had already fallen out.
Wang Zimian was silent for a mont, took out another cigarette from the box, lit it, and took two puffs.
He looked up, gazed at Li Banfeng, and said: "As I've grown older, my temper has improved, my ntal state expanded, and I'm not willing to fuss over so things anymore. In the past, if you talked to like this, you'd be carried out."
As his words fell, more than thirty people appeared from upstairs and downstairs, encircling the hall.
Ma Wu drew his hand into his sleeve, ready to pull out his weapon.
Feng Daiku's hair trembled, also ready for combat.
Li Banfeng continued to sit in the chair smoking, surrounded by smoke.
Wang Zimian's n each brandished their weapons, ready to strike at any mont.
With swords drawn on both sides, Wang Zimian gestured to his n not to move, continually focusing on Li Banfeng. He slowly said, "Leave now, never set foot in Sleepless Town again in this life."
After speaking, Wang Zimian moved to extinguish the cigarette in the ashtray.
Li Banfeng's right ear twitched; he glanced at the ashtray, and the Silk-pulling Earrings released a Throwing Dart, shattering the ashtray.
Broken glass splashed, flying past Wang Zimian's cheek, leaving a bloodstain.
Beneath the shattered ashtray was a hole the size of a coin, with ropes attached inside.
Ma Wu was stunned and frowned, saying, "How ruthless!"
This hole was ant to trigger a chanism.
Wang Zimian just told Li Banfeng to leave.
The words sounded like he was letting Li Qi and the others go, but if Li Qi believed him and got up to leave, Wang Zimian would have triggered the chanism with the cigarette stub, causing Li Banfeng to fall into a trap.
How did Li Banfeng know there was a chanism under the ashtray? The chanism was extrely hidden, even Feng Daiku couldn't see it.
Actually, Li Banfeng couldn't see it either. He didn't understand the Craftsmanship thod, he just sensed the danger, which ca from the ashtray by Wang Zimian's hand.
Silk-pulling Earrings originally lacked combat power, but after Li Banfeng killed An Zongding, he obtained three Magical Treasures, one of which was an incense burner, capable of turning smoke into various weapons.
The Spirit Attribute of the Magical Treasure was absorbed by the phonograph, leaving an empty shell. Upon the earrings' request, she entered the Copper Lotus Flower with the shell, refined it, and gained part of the incense burner's ability.
Earlier, while Li Banfeng smoked, surrounded by smoke, the earrings seized the opportunity to burn incense, rging the two smoke trails together without anyone noticing.
When Li Banfeng looked at the ashtray, the earrings sent out a Throwing Dart, shattering the ashtray and preventing Wang Zimian from triggering the chanism.
Blood appeared on Wang Zimian's face, this act counted as attacking Wang Zimian. One of Wang Zimian's n rushed behind Li Banfeng, Li Banfeng flicked the cigarette stub in his hand, hitting the man's eyeball accurately.
Within five ters, he never missed.
The man clasped his eye, crying out in pain.
Others also wanted to act, but they heard Feng Daiku softly chide, "Why bother?"
The voice carried a hint of reproach, so grievance, and a bit of pleading and begging, causing Wang Zimian's n to hesitate; they were sowhat unwilling to strike.
Ma Wu stood up, surveying the crowd around him.
Li Banfeng continued sitting in the chair, quietly watching Wang Zimian.
He mainly focused on watching Wang Zimian's face.
The earrings' attack was indeed sudden, and the ashtray's shattering was unexpected.
Yet the splintered glass managed to wound Wang Zimian's face.
He was a Local Deity, a Mianxiu of Above the Clouds, possessing the territory of Proper Land, his cultivation level certainly not low, probably comparable to Elder Yao and Pan Dehai.
Was his skill really so lacking?
Wang Zimian's expression was indifferent, but he felt unsure inside; the Mianxiu's skills were indeed lacking.
He knew Feng Daiku's level was similar to his, but this was his territory, with his own manpower, the combat strength with manpower beside him couldn't be asured by levels; he was certain he held the upper hand.
But he wasn't clear on Li Qi's and Ma Wu's strengths.
According to external rumors, Ma Wu was a Fifth Layer Lust Cultivation, Li Qi was a Fifth Layer Traveling Cultivator.
However, based on the skill Li Qi demonstrated earlier, there was no way he was just Fifth Layer.
If the chanism earlier had been successful, temporarily controlling Li Qi, relying on this group of helpers, Wang Zimian was confident he could defeat Feng Daiku.
But the trap was exposed, Li Qi cunningly intervened, his cultivation level unknown, and both still in the hall, under such circumstances, for safety's sake, Wang Zimian wouldn't act rashly.
Yet Li Banfeng was the first to act in Wang Zimian's ho, even injuring his n; if the matter was left unsettled, Wang Zimian's reputation would suffer.
Wang Zimian fiddled with the right-hand thumb ring, he wore three rings and a thumb ring on his right hand, all valuable ornants, especially the thumb ring, Sleepless Town everyone knew it, rumored to be worth two factories.
The butler saw Wang Zimian fiddling with the thumb ring and quietly left the residence, seeking additional manpower elsewhere.
Seeing Wang Zimian silent for a long ti, Feng Daiku took the initiative to build a bridge: "Senior, we ca this ti to inquire about Shui Yongquan's whereabouts. Since Shui Yongquan isn't here, please, Senior, point us the way. If our words were offensive, we ask for your indulgence."
Wang Zimian said with a stern face: "Miss Feng, considering your presence today, let's settle it this way. As for why Shui Yongquan went to the Outside Provinces, I am unaware of the details,
but I've heard that he's in Yuezhou, having so contacts with friends of mine, that's all I have to say, please proceed."
