One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

"Yes, we can't enter Biyou Village."

We need to be more discreet.

While I'm at it, I'd also like to inquire about Mei Jinfeng's whereabouts.

As Ma Long said this, the group of five slowly walked towards Liupanshui.

"Okay, it's up to you!"

Wang Ye helplessly shrugged. He was just an employee, blindly following his boss.

……

The road ahead was very rough, so there were no pedestrians on it.

The five people trekked over mountains and valleys and finally arrived in Liupanshui.

Ma Long picked up his phone; it was a call from Chen Jinkui.

“Hey, Kui’er.”

Have we arrived yet?

"Yes, we've arrived!"

"Okay, let's meet up first!"

Before long, Chen Jinkui arrived in a grand manner with over a hundred members of the Shuzi Sect.

One by one, they arrived at Ma Long's side, looking travel-worn. Chen Jinkui took the lead and came to Ma Long's side.

"Young Master Long, you can arrange it as you see fit!"

I brought quite a few people with me.

Ma Long nodded, quite satisfied with Chen Jinkui's efficiency.

"Master Kui, thank you for your hard work!"

"Let's go and meet the mastermind behind this."

Ma Long waved his hand and led the team forward.

He took out his phone again and called Xia Liuqing.

"Hey, Old Xia!"

where?

We've arrived in Liupanshui!

Xia Liuqing was shocked. She had originally sought Ma Long's help with a "let's give it a try" attitude.

I didn't expect Ma Long to be so reliable. He came all the way from the Dragon and Tiger Gathering in Zhejiang in just a few hours.

Thinking of this, Xia Liuqing was somewhat moved: "Young Master Long, you are so righteous!"

We've arrived so quickly. You wait here.

I'll come find you right away..."

A short while later, Xia Liuqing, walking with difficulty, arrived at Ma Long's side.

When he saw the hundreds of people behind Ma Long, he was even more shocked.

Especially Chen Jinkui, the leader of the Shuzi Sect, made Xia Liuqing's eyebrows twitch uncontrollably.

What does Ma Long mean by this?

Are they really here to help me find someone? These are all elites from the Shuzi Sect.

With the Ten Elders leading the team, they'd be more than capable of taking down an entire clan.

Xia Liuqing felt uneasy. She didn't have many friends, and when she encountered trouble, there was no one to help her.

I never expected Ma Long to be so loyal and to value things so much.

He quickly took two steps forward: "Young Master Long! You're so righteous!"

The Gelaohui (a secret society) members, settle accounts evenly!

I, Xia Liuqing, am utterly convinced today. Young Master Long, you truly are a young hero.

Ma Long quickly stopped him.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Stop spouting nonsense!

Explain the whole situation, what exactly happened.

"Uh~ okay!"

Seeing that Ma Long was anxious, Xia Liuqing immediately explained what had happened.

He didn't know why Mei Jinfeng had disappeared; she had simply vanished when he went to look for her.

"You fucking call this a clue?"

"Take me to Mei Jinfeng's place! Quickly!"

Ma Long was furious. Xia Liuqing said some nonsense, which was equivalent to not saying anything at all.

Xia Liuqing knew he was incompetent, so he led Ma Long and the others directly to Mei Jinfeng's thatched cottage in Liupanshui.

"Jin Feng's residence is just ahead."

Be careful not to trample on Jin Feng's flowers!

"Okay, okay, hurry up!"

At a time like this, who the hell cares about flowers!

Ma Long and his group arrived at Mei Jinfeng's thatched hut. Ma Long looked around but found nothing unusual.

All the clues have been dealt with; that's typical of the same group.

Xia Liuqing began, "It was just a couple of days ago, when I came to find Jin Feng."

She disappeared.

I was extremely anxious because I had no clue whatsoever.

Please help me...

Golden Phoenix?

Oh, Jin Feng~ I've missed you so much! Where have you been all these days!

Are you injured?

Come quick, let me check you out!

Golden Phoenix…

Just as Xia Liuqing was speaking, the people inside seemed to have noticed the commotion outside.

An old woman opened the door and looked out.

This person is none other than the missing Mei Jinfeng.

Xia Liuqing was overjoyed and excitedly ran towards the other person.

His appearance and expression didn't seem fake; he genuinely believed that Mei Jinfeng had disappeared.

Ma Long could tell that Xia Liuqing wasn't lying; Mei Jinfeng had indeed disappeared for two days.

But even though he could see it, he believed Xia Liuqing.

Chen Jinkui brought more than a hundred people with him!

How do these more than one hundred people feel about what they accept?

mischief?

Candy party?

Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng are elders of the Quanxing Sect. Even if we kill them now, it wouldn't be excessive!

What's more, they were tricked!

Malone had to look very angry in order to back down.

Thinking of this, he immediately grabbed Xia Liuqing by the back of the neck as she ran forward.

Xia Liuqing!!!

You old bastard, you son of a bitch!

You fucking dare to mess with me!

I've rushed over with my men to help you find someone.

How dare you play the feudal lords with the beacon fires!

I'll fucking beat you to death!

Ma Long grabbed Xia Liuqing and slapped her hard across the face.

"Clap!"

Xia Liuqing's loose skin trembled from the beating, and her three remaining old teeth also fell out.

Xia Liuqing knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't retaliate.

Of course, he didn't dare to fight back, with so many people behind Ma Long.

If you really kill them both, no one will hold you accountable.

Whether I live or die is a small matter, but if this matter affects Mei Jinfeng, then it's unacceptable.

He absolutely would not allow Mei Jinfeng to get hurt, and even wanted her to pay the price for his mistakes.

"Young Master Long! Young Master Long!"

Go ahead and kill me, my old arms and legs aren't strong enough to live much longer.

I beg you to spare Jin Feng; she is innocent.

I truly didn't know, and this is all my fault.

If killing me would vent your anger, then please feel free to abuse me!

Xia Liuqing had an expression of heroic defiance, and her old face, stained with blood, was adorned with shyness.

It was rather shabby and disgusting.

Chen Jinkui followed Ma Long's orders; his help was also due to a favor he owed Ma Long.

So he wasn't angry at all. He was here anyway, so whether he did anything or not, he had done his duty!

Therefore, Chen Jinkui didn't care at all. Seeing that their sect leader had spoken, the members of the Shuzi Sect didn't dare to say anything despite their anger.

Ma Long symbolically slapped Xia Liuqing a few more times, knocking out all of his teeth.

Xia Liuqing's chin snapped off instantly, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

"Holy crap!"

"I might fall and die!"

Xia Liuqing complained, but he was secretly pleased, knowing that he had finally gotten past Ma Long.

At least Mei Jinfeng doesn't have to die; it doesn't matter whether I live or die.

As long as Jin Feng can live, that's all that matters.

Ma Long knew Xia Liuqing's thoughts; he had only done this to put on a show for the Shuzi Sect.

He looked at Mei Jinfeng in front of him: "Grandma Jinfeng!"

I was rude just now!

But it's not my fault, it's just that Xia Liuqing is too hateful.

He lied to me, saying you were missing and that I had rushed here with my men to find you.

Now you're safely at home, aren't you just playing me for a fool?

After Ma Long finished recounting what had happened, Mei Jinfeng nodded.
