I don't know what I was feeling.

After Liu Ren uttered those words, Teng Ling really started to struggle.

His consciousness was so blurred that he couldn't tell which way was which.

But the will to survive kept him crawling forward.

After crawling for about a hundred meters, Teng Ling finally stopped moving due to the severity of his injuries and became a corpse by the roadside.

After he died, only the long trail of blood behind him remained, silently telling the story of what had just happened.

It wasn't until Teng Ling died completely that Liu Ren's live stream regained the lively atmosphere that a million viewers should have.

[What the hell? Where did this come from? Is this still "Eternal Night"?]

Good heavens! I thought I'd accidentally clicked into some ancient movie.

[Did the streamer die?]

[Where's your brain? The one standing up is the anchor, can't you see?]

If I weren't lying in this gaming pod right now, I'd definitely kneel down and bow to the streamer.

[Holy crap, I've seen plenty of people surviving in "Eternal Night," but this is the first time I've ever seen someone let others survive!]

Liu Ren! Do you live up to your name?!

What a kind and benevolent word!

[Master Liu dislikes killing, so he feels like he's living a life worse than death, right?]

[Make up for what you lack; the ancients were right!]

I think the streamer is just lacking in benevolence in his destiny, which is why he's called Liu Ren (the benevolent ruler)?

[You illegitimate son, the streamer is so kind and righteous, how dare you spread rumors here?!]

[Host, could you please send me the recorded broadcast later?]

I'll help with the editing!

[If Xiao Yu can do that, what use are you?]

Please! Please send me the edited clip from just now! I'll do anything!

You really are obsessed with everyone! I want to see it too!

[Teng Ling: In the middle of the day, I took forty of my underlings out for a stroll and we encountered a formidable foe. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to defeat him.]

【It was not a chance encounter.】

[This is not a shopping trip.]

Not at full strength.

[Hilarious! With forty underlings down, Teng Ling couldn't even speak clearly anymore. His eyes instantly cleared, he let go of the hatred he couldn't let go of, he understood things he couldn't understand, and he could even give away the woman he couldn't give away in his entire life. He's never been so open-minded in his life!]

[She can be summed up in one word: insightful and clear-headed!]

Does the streamer accept apprentices?

That slash was so cool! I want to learn how to spin the knife too!

Isn't this Tamagotchi illegal?

【…】

Liu Ren glanced at the comments in the live stream, but didn't look at them closely; he just glanced at the private messages.

There were tons of messages inside, all sorts of things, all kinds of content.

Looking for someone to chat with, someone to become my apprentice to, someone to * (do something), someone to meet in person for a detailed discussion...

But now is not the time to do these things.

He didn't even get to finish a single day in the courtyard.

Let's deal with these practical matters in a couple of days after we get out.

Liu Ren turned off private messages and opened the central terminal.

He reconnected with the contact number that Pi Xinjie had left when he contacted him before.

The call was connected shortly afterward.

Pi Xinjie was not in the office; the background was a hotel private room.

"You'd better get hurt." Pi Xinjie's first words were a threat.

"Teng Ling from the Golden Crow Group, a P5 player, led about forty people to our guild's territory seeking revenge against me—"

"Solve it yourself!" Pi Xinjie blurted out before even finishing the sentence.

He immediately planned to hang up the call.

This matter is actually not under his jurisdiction at all, otherwise what would be the point of having subordinates?

Seeing this, Liu Ren did not stop his narration and continued, "I killed all forty-odd people, including Teng Ling. Do these forty-odd people count as part of our agreement?"

"Hmm?" Pi Xinjie paused, then immediately remembered what he had promised Liu Ren, and then burst out laughing: "What I meant was—during the battle for Beacon Tower No. 3, the number of enemies killed must not be less than fifty! Teng Ling seeking revenge on you is obviously your personal matter, isn't it?"

“They are also members of the Golden Crow Group in private matters.”

"Heh, kid, are you trying to negotiate with me?"

"Can't one seek reward for meritorious service?"

"From now on, go talk to your sect leader about this! Don't contact me directly!"

"I don't have the leader's contact information."

"I'll have him contact you!"

After saying that, Pi Xinjie hung up the phone.

After Pi Xinjie hung up the call, the man sitting opposite him chuckled and asked, "When did you become so good-tempered?"

If someone below had reported this to their superiors without authorization, Pi Xinjie would have already retorted with a barrage of insults.

But not today.

Pi Xinjie raised his glass and replied with a smile, "Just a guy with relatively strong martial arts skills! He killed quite a few people from the Golden Crow Group, the Crimson Sky Society, and the Profound Yin Society! Those guys have all come after me."

"How strong?"

"One person can take on dozens and kill all the enemies!"

"Oh? Then we can train him a little."

“That’s what I think too, but after looking at that guy, I immediately felt he wasn’t the type to be content with doing things for others. He can be used, but not given important responsibilities!” Pi Xinjie stated his judgment.

“If his abilities are truly as you describe, then this is indeed the right way to handle it.” The man sitting opposite him did not question the decision.

After taking a sip of wine, Pi Xinjie immediately sent a message to his family's head.

"P5 Liu Ren, you can decide on a reward, but don't let him fall into the trap of evil!"

After a while, the hall master sent a reply.

"Yes."

……

After informing his superiors, Liu Ren found a place to wash off the bloodstains on his body.

Then we took a car to the East Gate.

After he left, the Sky Gang members who were drinking in the restaurant felt that it was about time.

Then one of them spoke up: "So much time has passed, I wonder how things are over there. Would you like to come with me to check and see for yourselves?"

"Sure, I'm just killing time anyway."

"Go check if Liu Ren is dead."

After confirming their opinions, the group got up and left the restaurant. After wandering around for a while, they found the place where Liu Ren had just fought to the death.

The sight of corpses on the ground silenced everyone who had followed.

After a long silence, someone asked in a dazed voice, "Where is Liu... Liu Renren?"

"……do not know."

"Turn the body over!" someone hurriedly said.

Then, the group of people who had only intended to watch the spectacle immediately began to examine the corpse.

As a result, what lay before them was a large pile of corpses, each killed with a single blow.

None of the bodies inside belonged to Liu Ren.

Have you found Liu Ren?

"No……"

"did not find."

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, someone felt a sense of anxiety.

He looked around and soon found a nearly dried bloodstain.

A look of joy appeared on his face, and he quickly followed the trail of blood.

Then, at the end of the bloodstain, they saw a corpse that had long since gone cold and stiff.

The joy on Shuangjie's face gradually disappeared.

He recognized the body's clothes at first glance.

This is... Teng Ling!?

A chill ran down Shuangjie's spine.

Even though he had already confirmed Teng Ling's identity, he still turned Teng Ling's body over to check Teng Ling's face.

Instantly, Shuang Jie's face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Holy crap, it really is Teng Ling... Teng Ling is dead?! Who killed him?!"

Is this question still necessary to ask?

No need.

But Shuangjie dared not do without it.

He turned back and repeatedly checked the scene of the deadly battle, which resembled a slaughterhouse.

Finally, something obvious was confirmed.

Teng Ling is dead.

All the thugs he brought were also killed.

And they all died with a single blow.

No other bodies or traces of any other individuals or groups were found at the scene.

In other words, it's highly likely that only one person killed Teng Ling and his group...

Who could do that?

A treacherous individual?

I don't know about double mustard.

Several people who had helped him clean up the scene surrounded him, their previous smugness long gone.

They are all people who can rise to P7, not trash who don't even have a "permanent position".

Everyone naturally understands what this scene means.

"Shuang, Shuang-ge, what do we do now...?"

"...Contact Brother Chen first and report the situation here."

With a somber expression, Shuang Jie could only give a detailed report of the situation to her superior, Chen Yang.
