Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 19 The Passage of Time
The leader of Fenghu Hall, Cui Xiaodao, quickly gathered the core members of the hall.
"Brother Dong Xiao is dead." Fenghu Hall Master glanced at the people around him and threw the envelope and letter paper on the table, "Everyone, take a look."
Judging from the words on the envelope and the contents of the letter, anyone with a reasonable level of intelligence can conclude that the most likely murderer is Chang Yi.
"Chang Yi?"
"That illegitimate child of the Chang family, does he have such great abilities?"
"Could it be a frame-up?"
Several key members would not determine that Chang Yi was the murderer just because of a letter.
The head of Fenghu Hall said coldly, "Dong Xiao was killed in the middle of the night, and the letter arrived in my hands early this morning! It was too fast. The person who wrote this letter is most likely the murderer! And I don't think Chang Yi has done anything worthy of framing her."
"That Master Chang has some experts around him. The three experts last time caused the three hundred elite gang members we sent out to collapse." The young man in white nodded.
"I think I'm more than 70% sure that Chang Yi is threatening us." Fenghu Hall Master said, "Kill Dong Xiao to intimidate us."
"He dares!"
“Everyone has done it!”
"He can kill Principal Dong, and he kills with force! Who among us can stop him?"
The core leaders of Fenghu Hall were in a state of flux.
"Everyone, tell me, what should we do next?" The head of Fenghu Hall glanced around.
"In my opinion," a burly man said in a low voice, "We should keep a low profile first and paralyze the illegitimate son of the Chang family! We will prepare secretly, and when we are sure, we will kill Mr. Chang in one move! The outside world knows that we, the Huayue Gang and Fenghu Hall, took action last time. If we give up like this, how will the outside world see us? They will think we are easy to bully. So we must find an opportunity to take action, but... we must be sure. If we can't kill him in one go, Mr. Chang might really come back to assassinate us again!"
"I don't think it's necessary. The murderer might be someone else. If the murderer deliberately framed us, we would be trapped by someone else if we went to deal with Chang Yi." The man with a mustache shook his head gently. "I think it's best not to move! There are five million people in Lanyue City. How many things happen every day? Who would keep paying attention to the conflict between our Fenghu Hall and the Chang family? After a long time, others will forget about it."
"How could I forget?" someone objected.
"Then we, the Huayue Gang, can find other ways to establish our authority. We know that Mr. Chang is much harder to deal with than expected, but it would be foolish to just kill him." The mustache man shook his head, "We are in the gang, we have to be tough when we need to be tough, and we have to be soft when we need to be soft! Those who always shout for war and killing will not survive for long."
"I agree with what Second Brother Xiao said. The Chang family is not a piece of meat, but a nail. There is no need for us to confront them head-on."
"Are you scared now? We have tens of thousands of brothers in Fenghu Hall. If every one of us pees on them, we can drown the Chang family!"
"Use your brain!"
There was a quarrel in the hall.
The head of Fenghu Hall looked at the young man in white and said, "Old Nine, what do you think?"
The young man in white said, "If we endure it, it will only bring shame to our Fenghu Hall! But to be honest, we are not sure if we can take action based on our strength. After all, there are only three second-rate masters in the whole hall! In a real bloody fight, it still depends on the strength of the elite. Our elite forces do not have an overwhelming advantage. The so-called tens of thousands of gang members are useless in front of the masters. If we really charge forward, even if we succeed, there will be heavy casualties."
"We have to endure the embarrassment, but we are not sure if we can take action. What should we do?" someone shouted.
The young man in white said, "I think we should report this to the gang leader. The Chang family is not easy to deal with. Whether we endure it or take action, it's up to the gang to decide!"
"Doesn't this make us look incompetent?"
"this……"
"We are indeed incompetent!" The young man in white shook his head, "We are just one sect, and we don't have enough strength!"
The head of Fenghu Hall sat there in deep thought and looked at the letter again.
He was indeed a little scared.
When I was young, I used to fight on the edge of a knife! But now I am getting older and used to letting my gang members fight, and I rarely fight on my own! Moreover, with the strength of Fenghu Hall, facing the illegitimate son of the Chang family, I really don’t have the confidence.
After all, the head of Fenghu Hall still remembers clearly the scene where Dong Xiao was killed.
"Report this matter to the gang leader and let the gang decide." The Fenghu Hall Master said.
As soon as the hall master spoke, the others stopped objecting.
Even if the gang feels that the Fenghu Hall is incompetent, they will only punish the hall leader.
…
That afternoon, the leader of Fenghu Hall went to visit the gang leader again and came back feeling much more relaxed.
"From today on, the affairs of the Chang family will be taken over by the gang leader." Fenghu Hall Master said, "Everyone must keep this matter confidential. Anyone who dares to leak it will be punished according to the gang rules."
"yes."
Several people in the hall responded in unison, their brows looking much more relaxed.
…
The following days were peaceful.
Master Chang Yi often had to go out with his guards to discuss business! But the Huayue Gang and Fenghu Hall never took action again. Xu Jingming, Mr. Lu, and Miss Zi Teng were also happy and relaxed.
In a blink of an eye, Xu Jingming has been in the Blood Rain World for more than a month.
Xu Jingming spends 12 hours a day in the Blood Rain World. The rest of the time, he either practices shooting in the virtual world or uses hundreds of square meters of huge convex lens glass in the real training room to focus sunlight on his body, allowing his body to continue to evolve.
Although he has reached the sixth level in the virtual world, reaching the middle realm of star life, in reality he is still in the 'initial realm of star life' stage.
"I am now at the initial stage of star life. Although a lot of energy is needed to advance to the middle stage, with the help of this large convex lens glass to focus the sunlight, it will probably take about a month." Xu Jingming thought, "But in the future, from the middle stage to the high stage of star life, the energy required will be much greater, and this training room is far from enough."
"Don't think about it anymore. I'll worry about this problem after I reach the seventh level."
Xu Jingming sat cross-legged in the practice room with his upper body naked. All the sunlight gathered on his body. He was dark and blurry, and every cell in his body was absorbing the energy of the sunlight.
…
In the bloody rain world, the Fei family of Lanyue City.
The master of the Fei family finally compromised with his daughter.
"Three people! You can choose up to three guards." Master Fei looked at his daughter and raised three fingers. "And these three guards can't have a bad . At least they have to be at the level of the gunman named Jing."
"Okay." Fei Xinlan muttered, "Just three."
"Don't be so ungrateful after getting the advantage." Mr. Fei was helpless.
Fei Xinlan immediately hugged her father's arm and said affectionately, "I know you love me, Dad."
Master Fei looked at his daughter, and he was really afraid that she would melt in his palm. He shook his head helplessly: "You, just be more considerate of Dad in everything. We are going to the imperial capital with our whole family this time, so we have to be cautious. In today's world, the journey is very dangerous. From our Lanyue City to the imperial capital, the journey is long... Selecting a guard is a top-notch matter, and we have to choose someone we can trust."
"Don't worry, Dad. I'm not stupid." Fei Xinlan said, "I will choose carefully. Besides, there are experts sent by my eldest brother."
"Um."
Master Fei nodded, "Otherwise, how could I allow you to be so presumptuous?"
Fei Xinlan giggled.
"Uncle Zhang, since my father only allows me to choose three people." Fei Xinlan thought for a while and said, "Then it's my Senior Sister Qiu, the handsome gun master of the Chang family, and Brother Luo from the Black Axe Gang. That's it!"
"The surname Luo?" Master Fei glared, "He's a gangster."
"Brother Luo is a very upright person, I believe him!" Fei Xinlan said.
Mr. Fei thought about it and felt that the man surnamed Luo was a good person among the gang members.
"Forget it, let's just take the three of them." Master Fei stopped arguing with his daughter. There were only three guards anyway, so he could just consider it as spending an extra three people's salary. For the Fei family, that was small money.
"Master, when do they agree to set off?" asked the butler.
"We have to make good arrangements for our family to leave, and it's still a long time before Li Lan starts school," said Master Fei. "Let's make an appointment with them to leave in two months!"
The butler nodded: "Then I'll go now."
Fei Xinlan said, "Hurry up and go! Oh, Uncle Zhang, we have to rush all the way to the imperial capital. The journey is long and dangerous. You have to be willing to pay! I'm inviting Senior Sister Qiu and the others, so you can't let them suffer."
"I'm willing to give it up, of course." The butler smiled, and then took his people out of the Fei family to visit the three guards named by the eldest lady.
