Chapter 213 Time Passes

Translator: CKtalon

Phoenix Lake Hall Master Cui Xiaodao quickly gathered the core members of the hall.

Brother Dong Xiao is dead. Phoenix Lake Hall Master swept his gaze at the others and threw the envelope and letter on the table. Everyone, take a look.

As long as one wasnt stupid, they could determine that the murderer was most likely Chang Yi based on the words on the envelope and the content on the letter.

Chang Yi2

Is the illegitimate son of the Chang family that capable?

Could it be a frame-up?

The few core members wouldnt determine that the murderer was Chang Yi just because of a letter.

Phoenix Lake Hall Master said coldly, Dong Xiao was killed in the latter half of the night, and the letter was in my hands this morning! It happened too quickly, so its very likely that the person who wrote this letter is

the murderer! Moreover, dont think Chang Yi is worth framing.

There are some experts beside Young Master Chang. The three experts from last time thrashed the 300 elite gang members we sent. The white-shirted youth nodded.

think theres a greater than 70% chance that Chang Yi is threatening us, Phoenix Lake Hall Master said. He killed Dong Xiao to intimidate us.

How dare he!?

Hes already done it!

ff he can even kill Dong Xiao, and he did it with such verve, who can stop him? Phoenix Lake Halls core members had mixed emotions.

Everyone, what do we do next? Phoenix Lake Hall Master swept his gaze.

n my opinion, a stocky man said in a low voice, lets keep a low profile and hold back to make that illegitimate son of the Chang family lower his guard! Well make preparations in secret and kill Young Master Chang

nce were completely confident! People know that our Flower Moon Gangs Phoenix Lake Hall has made a move. If we give up just like that, what will people think of us? They will think that were pushovers. Therefore,

we have to find an opportunity to take action. Its just that we need to be completely confident. If we cant kill him in one go, Young Master Chang will probably launch another assassination attempt!

I dont think its necessary because someone else mightve killed Dong Xiao. If the murderer deliberately framed him, we would end up falling into someone elses trap by dealing with Chang Yi. A man with a mustache

shook his head gently. I think its best if we dont make a move! How many things happen every day for the five million people in Lanyue City? Who will keep paying attention to a little conflict between our Phoenix

Lake Hall and the Chang family? Over time, others will forget.

How can people forget? someone objected.

Then, our Flower Moon Gang can find other things to assert our authority. We know that Young Master Chang is much harder to deal with than we expected, so it would be silly to insist on attacking him. The man

with the mustache shook his head. We are in a gang. We should be tough when we need to, and we have to back off when required! We wont live long if we just clamor for a fight all the time.

agree with Second Brother Xiao. The Chang family isnt an easy target but a trap. Theres no need for us to clash head-on.

Youre afraid just like that? All the brothers in Phoenix Lake Hall can drown the Chang family just with their pee!

Use your brain!

A commotion broke out in the hall.

Phoenix Lake Hall Master looked at the white-shirted youth. Ninth Brother, what are your thoughts?

The white-shirted youth said, If we tolerate it, it will only embarrass our Phoenix Lake Hall! But to be honest, we dont have full confidence just based on our strength. After all, there are only three second-rate experts

in the entire hall! If we really fight to the death, it will depend on the strength of the elites. Our elites dont have an overwhelming advantage, and the so-called tens of thousands of gang members are useless in front of

experts. If we really launch an attack, it will only end in a Pyrrhic victory.

If we tolerate embarrassment and arent confident in attacking, what should we do? someone shouted.

The white-shirted youth replied, I think we should report this matter to the boss. This Chang family isnt easy to deal with. Be it tolerating or attacking, we have to leave it to the gang to decide!

Wouldnt this make us appear incompetent?

This

We are indeed incompetent! The white-shirted youth shook his head. Just our hall alone isnt strong enough!

Phoenix Lake Hall Master sat there in thought before reading the letter again.

He was indeed a little frightened. When he was young, it was common for him to fight with his life on the line! But now that he was getting older, he was used to having his gang members do the charging. He rarely

fought with his life on the line! Moreover, with Phoenix Lake Halls strength, they didnt have the confidence to face the Chang familys illegitimate son.

After all, Phoenix Lake Hall Master still remembered Dong Xiaos death scene.

Well report this matter to the boss, and the gang will decide on this matter, Phoenix Lake Hall Master said.

The moment the hall master spoke, the others stopped objecting. Even if the gang felt that Phoenix Lake Hall was incompetent, they would only punish the hall master.

That afternoon, Phoenix Lake Hall Master visited the gang boss again and returned much more relaxed.

From today onward, the Chang familys matters will be taken over by the boss, Phoenix Lake Hall Master stated. Everyone has to keep this a secret. If anyone dares to leak it, they will be punished according to the

gang rules.

Yes, the few people in the hall replied in unison, and their brows relaxed.

KREKKKK

The following days were calm.

Young Master Chang Yi often brought his guards out to discuss business! However, the Flower Moon Gangs Phoenix Lake Hall didnt make a move again. Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Ziteng were also happy about this

outcome.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Jingming had been in Blood Rain World for more than a month.

Xu Jingming spent 12 hours a day in Blood Rain World. At other times, he either practiced his spearmanship in the virtual world or used the huge convex glass that was hundreds of square meters in the training

chamber in reality to gather sunlight on his body and constantly evolve.

Although he had reached Lv. 6 in the virtual world and had reached the intermediate level of a cosmic lifeform, he was still at the initial level of a cosmic lifeform in reality.

Im now at the beginning stages of a cosmic lifeform. Although I need a lot of energy to reach the intermediate stages, Ill probably need another month to gather sunlight with this large convex glass, Xu Jingming

thought. But in the future, the energy needed to go from the intermediate stages of a cosmic lifeform to the advanced realm will be much greater. Relying on this training chamber is far from sufficient.

Forget it. Ill worry about this problem when I reach Lv. 7.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged in the training chamber with his upper body bare. Sunlight gathered on his body, and his entire body appeared dark and blurry. Every cell in his body was absorbing the energy from the

sunlight.

Blood Rain World, Lanyue Citys Fei family.

Old Master Fei finally compromised with his daughter.

Three people! You can choose at most three guards. Old Master Fei looked at his daughter and raised three fingers. Moreover, the reputation of these three guards cant be too bad. At the very least, they have to be

at the level of that spearman surnamed Jing.

All right, grumbled Fei Xinlan. Three it is then.

Cut out the act. Old Master Fei was exasperated.

Fei Xinlan immediately hugged her fathers arm and said affectionately, I know you love me, Dad.

Old Master Fei looked at his daughter; he truly doted on her. He shook his head helplessly. Just be more understanding of your father. Were going to the capital with our entire family, so we naturally have to be

careful. In this world, the journey will be treacherous. Its a long journey from Lanyue City to the capital Choosing guards is a top priority. We have to choose someone we can trust.

Dont worry, Dad. Im not stupid, Fei Xinlan said. Ill choose seriously. Moreover, didnt Brother send some experts?

Yeah. Old Master Fei nodded. Otherwise, how can I tolerate your insolence?

Fei Xinlan giggled.

Uncle Zhang, since Dad only allowed me to choose three people, Xinlan said after some thought, then it shall be my Senior Sister Qiu, that rather handsome expert spearman from the Chang family, and Brother Luo

from the Black Ax Gang. They shall be the three!

Luo? Old Master Fei glared. Thats a gang member.

Brother Luo is very upright. I believe in him! Fei Xinlan retorted.

Old Master Fei thought for a moment. Luo was quite an upright person among the gang members.

Whatever then. The three of them it is. Old Master Fei stopped arguing with his daughter. After all, there were only three guards. He would just treat it as spending more money on three additional hires. To the Fei

family, it was only money.

Master, when do we schedule the departure with them? the butler asked.

Since our entire family is leaving, we naturally have to make arrangements. Moreover, its still some time before Xinlans matriculation, Old Master Fei said. Lets make an agreement with them to set off in two

months!

The butler nodded. Ill do it right now.

Xinlan immediately said, Be quick! Oh right, Uncle Zhang, we will be traveling all the way to the capital. Its a long journey away from our hometown, and the journey is also dangerous, so you have to be willing to pay!

We cant exploit Senior Sister Qiu and the others.

Of course. The butler smiled and left the Fei family with his men to visit the three guards his young mistress had named..
