“Make a move together!” Seeing the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix in the sky charging straight toward them, the dark-skinned man shouted to the three people beside him.
The other three gritted their teeth when they saw this terrifying scene, then charged forward together!
However, courage could never make up for such a gap in Strength. The moment the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix descended, it blasted all four Scarlet Feather Guard members, including the dark-skinned man, away. Flames left burns covering their bodies...
Meanwhile, Lin Xiu had knocked down the other Man and woman with a Brick. Before he could finish them off, he saw the terrifying scene. He had never imagined that human Strength could reach such a level.
Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Qingqing again, his Gaze filled with complicated emotions. A woman like this had taken a liking to his Boss???
It was not that Lin Xiu looked down on his father. Although his Strength was not weak and he was the Director of the Night Watch Division in Biluo City, Lin Zhanbei’s aura seemed insignificant beside that of the woman before him.
Zhao Qingqing looked at the four people on the ground and casually waved her hand. The silver spear vanished. She turned to Lin Xiu and saw that he had dealt with the other two. She nodded in satisfaction.
“You got it out of your system, right? We should leave.”
“Are they dead?” Lin Xiu stayed where he was and asked.
“What?” Zhao Qingqing was taken aback. She looked at Lin Xiu in surprise. “What did you say?”
“I said, are they dead?” Lin Xiu repeated, word by word.
Zhao Qingqing slightly furrowed her brows, but still answered, “Not dead. Seriously injured.”
“That won’t do.” Lin Xiu spoke calmly. He walked over to the four people, bent down, and picked up the long saber from one of their hands. Without hesitation, he swung it down and chopped!
“Lin Xiu!” Zhao Qingqing reacted quickly and grabbed the hand holding the saber. She looked at him with a serious expression.
“Lin Xiu, if you kill them, you will make your grudge against the Scarlet Feather Guard permanent!”
“Our grudge was already set when they killed my brothers.” Lin Xiu’s tone was calm. He then glanced at Zhao Qingqing’s hand gripping his own. “Let go.”
“Have you thought this through?” Zhao Qingqing asked again.
“Our grudge was already irreconcilable. Why should I show them mercy?”
“I understand.” Zhao Qingqing released Lin Xiu’s hand and retreated to the side in Silence.
Lin Xiu then finished off the people on the ground without hesitation. He struck each one in the throat, leaving none of them a chance to survive!
Seeing this, Zhao Qingqing not only said nothing, but instead nodded in appreciation. Once they had become enemies, there was no need to show them any mercy.
In any case, Lin Xiu would soon head to Magic City Martial University. Dragon Country was jointly governed by the Dragon Guard and the Night Watch Division, but another organization stood independent of both and answered to neither.
That was the Martial Arts Universities distributed throughout Dragon Country!
The top three Martial Arts Universities were Capital Martial University, Magic City Martial University, and Hundred Battles Martial University, which stood on Dragon Country’s border.
At present, most members of both the Dragon Guard and the Night Watch Division come from Martial Arts Universities across the country. Some high-ranking personnel even graduated from the top three Martial Arts Universities. That is why no one in Dragon Country would offend a Martial Arts University: these schools continue to provide and train Martial Artists for the Dragon Guard and the Night Watch Division!
This was also why Lin Zhanbei insisted on sending Lin Xiu to Magic City Martial University.
Lin Xiu had been especially good at causing trouble since childhood, and each incident he caused was more serious than the last. Lin Zhanbei feared that one day he would no longer be able to serve as Lin Xiu’s support, so he found a way to arrange for him to enter Magic City Martial University. And all of this was thanks to Zhao Qingqing.
Zhao Qingqing had studied at Magic City Martial University. Before she graduated, the university exceptionally recruited her as an instructor. She remained there until she became pregnant, then temporarily left Magic City for Biluo City to recuperate.
“Let’s go. It’s time to set off.” Zhao Qingqing patted Lin Xiu on the shoulder, then walked toward the jeep.
Lin Xiu raised his head and glanced toward Biluo City, murmuring, “Brothers, your Boss will collect a little interest for you first. But don’t worry. Sooner or later, I’ll recover everything you’re owed, with interest!”
Afterward, he got into the jeep without hesitation.
..
“Lin Zhanbei!”
A vicious expression crossed Huo Yao’s pale face. He pointed at Lin Zhanbei, his voice nearly a roar.
“You dared to kill members of my Scarlet Feather Guard. You must be insane!”
“Huo Yao, don’t go pinning false accusations on me.” Lin Zhanbei calmly took a sip of tea, then said, “The people who killed them were not from my Night Watch Division. The Night Watch Division’s people are all in Biluo City today. You can investigate as you please.”
“Heh.” Huo Yao let out a cold laugh. “Do you take me for a fool?”
“In a poor backwater like Biluo City, who else could have killed an entire small squad of my Scarlet Feather Guard if not the Night Watch Division?”
“Huo Yao, I didn’t invite you to my wedding, did I?” Lin Zhanbei asked.
“What?” Huo Yao visibly paused, then looked at Lin Zhanbei as if he were an idiot.
“Lin Zhanbei, have you gone stupid?”
“How old are you this year, old man? When you got married, I was probably still in elementary school!”
Hearing this, Lin Zhanbei’s face darkened, but he pretended not to care. “My second marriage,” he said flatly.
“Bah!
You have the nerve to send me an invitation for your second marriage?
Are you trying to get rich by getting married?”
This was the first time Lin Zhanbei had realized how venomous Huo Yao’s tongue was. After a few remarks, his chest felt painfully tight, and he nearly spat blood!
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the urge to fight Huo Yao and said, “My wife’s surname is Zhao.”
“What does your wife’s surname have to do with me?”
“Her name is Qingqing.”
“I couldn’t care less whether you call your wife Qingqing or Lulu. Don’t change the subject...” Halfway through his sentence, Huo Yao suddenly stopped. After staring blankly for several seconds, he abruptly turned to look at Lin Zhanbei, his eyes filled with shock!
“What did you say your wife’s surname was?”
“Zhao.”
“Her name.”
“Qingqing.” Lin Zhanbei smiled smugly.
“Zhao Qingqing, Zhao Qingqing, Zhao Qingqing...” Huo Yao repeated the name several times, then asked for confirmation: “Zhao Qingqing from Magic City Martial University?”
Lin Zhanbei smiled and nodded.
“Bah!” Huo Yao spat again!
“Lin Zhanbei, Lin Zhanbei, do you have no shame?”
“You’re about the same age as Zhao Qingqing’s father, aren’t you?”
“You know nothing about love.” Lin Zhanbei looked at Huo Yao with pity.
“I *** your ***!!!” Huo Yao could no longer hold back and unleashed a string of profanity!
“You old bastard, eating tender grass despite being an old ox is one thing, but at your age, you still want to be a kept man??!”
“Since you brought that up, I have to explain something to you.” Lin Zhanbei sat up straight, his expression turning serious.
“Explain what?” Huo Yao asked, irritated.
“Back then, Lin Xiu’s grandfather—in other words, my father—didn’t Awaken until he was thirty-two. What do you think of his talent?”
“You have the nerve to ask? Where’s the slightest bit of talent in that?” Huo Yao looked at him with disdain.
“But I Awakened at sixteen. Why do you think that is?” Lin Zhanbei asked.
“How would I know?”
“Because my mother was also a genius back then. She Awakened at fifteen.”
Huo Yao fell into silence for several seconds, then raised his head and looked at Lin Zhanbei.
“So what you’re trying to tell me is that being a kept man is hereditary in your family???”
