Flying Clouds in Another World

Liu Shihu endured the severe pain, but with a strange look on his face, he said: "Thinking back then, when we participated in the inner disciple trial, we almost failed, all because of Xu Weijie's tricks. I wanted to beat him up in the last round to vent my anger, but I didn't expect that the wimp actually admitted defeat. I was really upset at the time. But I never expected that Xu Weijie escaped my beating, but he couldn't escape Qian Wugou's blackmail. In order to become an inner disciple, he let Qian Wugou blackmail him for property worth three thousand taels of gold."

"So it's him!" Liu Feiyun then remembered who Qian Wugou was: the personal bodyguard of Luo Tong, the young master of the Luo family, one of the ten great royal families in the empire! Speaking of which, he really had a connection with the Luo family. In this sect competition, he was eliminated because he was defeated by Luo Tong.

Liu Feiyun asked again in confusion: "But why did you get into conflict with him again? If it was a formal duel, Qian Wugou wouldn't have beaten you like this, right?"

Liu Shihu said in a hateful voice: "It's all because of you being stabbed, young master!"

"What does my assassination have to do with him?" Liu Feiyun was even more puzzled.

Liu Shihu couldn't help but groan in pain twice before continuing, "After you were assassinated, you were sent to Yaoxiang Valley. I didn't think I could help much there, so I started investigating the assassin. After a few days of investigation, I really got some results. Before assassinating you, the assassin had met Qian Wugou several times. The last time was half an hour before the inner disciple trial began. The assassin even gave Qian Wugou a large bag of crystals, worth no less than a hundred taels of gold!"

After hearing this, Liu Feiyun frowned and motioned for him to continue.

"After I confirmed again and again that this was true, I went to argue with him today, but he was very arrogant, saying that the assassination had nothing to do with him and that he had received money from the assassin. As we were talking, we started fighting. I didn't expect Qian Wuque to be so powerful. With his strength, he could have easily entered the top 16 of the cultivator group, but he hid his strength in the competition. This bastard beat me so badly! Ouch! It hurts!"

After listening to Liu Shihu's words, Liu Feiyun rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Who can you blame for this? It's all your own fault! I thought you had become smarter after staying in the Sky Viewing Pavilion for three years, but I didn't expect... Oh! What can I say about you!"

"What! Shouldn't I go to him and ask for an explanation? He might be the assassin's accomplice! No! An accomplice!" Liu Shihu didn't understand why Liu Feiyun said that.

Liu Feiyun patiently explained, "The information you can find out, my father's master, the Grand Master Wu Xuzi, would not be able to find out! My two Grand Masters would not be able to find out, but have they determined that Qian Wu Gou was related to my assassination? No! Moreover, has the news that Qian Wu Gou received the assassin's crystal stone spread in the sect? Well, it should not be! Otherwise, you would have known it a long time ago! What does this mean? This means that either Qian Wu Gou really has nothing to do with the assassination, or the assassin's internal support or backstage in the sect is enough to force the three masters to give in and make the matter a small matter. If you go to them now, you will only ask for trouble! Do you really think that my Liu family can ignore others and stir up trouble in the Miyun Sect!"

"But every year, the Earl..."

"Ahem! Stop talking about these useless things for now and just have a good rest!" Hu Lie, who had been silently listening beside him, interrupted Liu Shihu's next words.

Liu Shihu suddenly realized something and stopped talking. He lay on the bed and began to groan in pain.

Liu Feiyun no longer paid attention to Liu Shihu. Instead, he looked at Hu Lie: "Brother, what do you think?"

Hu Lie said slowly, "If your Anping Liu family has no deep hatred with the Luo family, one of the ten great royal families, then it is obvious that someone is stirring up trouble, so that the fisherman can benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam! Your Liu family is still inferior to the Luo family, so the biggest possibility is that they are using the Luo family's knife to attack or even destroy your Liu family. Shihu, you got the news about Qian Wugou from the people in the Law Enforcement Hall, right!"

"Hey! How did you know?" Liu Shihu asked in surprise.

Hu Lie ignored him and continued to say to Liu Feiyun: "Originally, if there was no assassin, I would have tried to make you and the Luo family fight each other, and the Xu Weiying brothers would be the most suspicious! After all, both of your families have offended the Xu brothers, but the Xu family can't afford to offend either of you. No matter who wins or loses, the Xu brothers will be happy if you fight each other! However, if they want to take your life, they really don't have the courage and ability. Therefore, there must be someone else behind the scenes!"

Liu Feiyun seemed to understand: "Could it be that..."

Hu Lie nodded: "As long as you know what's going on, Junior Brother!"

Liu Feiyun sighed: "No wonder... In this case, Senior Brother, what should I do now?"

Hu Lie lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said, "No matter what you do, it won't work. It's better not to do anything. But if you do that, your reputation will be ruined!"

"Do nothing? That's right. If I cause trouble for the Luo family because of this, it will play into that person's hands. If I cause trouble for the Xu brothers, it will only be a temporary solution. If I go directly to that person, I'm really not good enough! Reputation? I'll just be laughed at as a waste and a wimp. Over the years, in the eyes of many people, I've been a waste who will die sooner or later, and it doesn't matter if I add the word wimp. I won't live long, so what's the point of having a reputation?" Liu Feiyun couldn't help but smile bitterly as he spoke.

Hu Lie consoled him, "I've heard from Master that with your current cultivation speed, you will be able to reach the Master Cultivator realm in a few years, and living to thirty years old won't be a problem. If you can endure hardships and pain, and cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Master Cultivator realm, living another twenty years won't be a problem. Although you may not be able to reach sixty years old, more than thirty years is enough time for you to start a business. Junior brother, you really don't need to give up on yourself!"

Liu Feiyun smiled casually: "Brother, there is no need to persuade me. I haven't lived enough! I won't give up on myself! Besides, my Liu family is big and prosperous. I must marry a beautiful wife, give birth to a few children, raise them to adulthood, and make the boys inherit the family business and the girls marry and become wives. Only then will I be willing to die! Hahahaha! But, do you think that person will still..."

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. Although that person has some background, it is difficult for him to take your life openly in the sect. After all, your father still has a lot of weight in the hearts of many superiors in the sect. You just need to be more careful!"

Liu Feiyun nodded, and was about to say something when he heard someone outside the pavilion door shouting, "Junior Brother Liu, there is a junior brother named Luo Tong who wants to see you!"

After Liu Feiyun and Hu Lie exchanged a glance, they quickly pushed open the door and said, "Where is Senior Brother Luo? I'll go see him right away."

But a voice sounded: "Junior Brother Liu, let me see if your servant is dead or alive."
