Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 175 Growing Up Amidst Hatred?
Ma Jin was filled with indignation!
As a Heavenly Martial Warrior, how could he possibly be humiliated by the Heavenly Martial Soul under normal circumstances!

Not to mention, this is a central city!
Yulin Feiyue's base!
He single-handedly built this base!
The Tianwu Group arrived, and they expanded upon the original structure.

He, Ma Jin, was publicly humiliated here by several Heavenly Martial Souls!
They rely on their negligible authority!
Ma Jin was so enraged that he wanted to beat those Heavenly Martial Spirits to a pulp.

Among those people, one of them feigned surprise, backing away and waving his hand, saying:
"Ouch! Ouch! The former chief steward of city affairs is glaring at us! He's about to hit us!"

Another chimed in, "That can't be! He's not the head of the department anymore!"

"They're Heavenly Martial Masters! We're just Heavenly Martial Souls. They could easily kill us, let alone fight us!"

"That's right, I'm so scared! If they kill us, we can just go and join the rebel Lin Xiufeng!"

"No way? Former City Affairs Manager, you yourself said that the most important thing for members of the Heavenly Martial Group is to act fairly, justly, and according to the rules! We're just following the rules when we're letting you change houses! Why are you angry?"

Ma Jin was furious, but he knew that if he took action, many of those who had troubled and doubted him would seize the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Suppressing his anger, Ma Jin went inside and decided to pack his things.

But how is he supposed to organize all that stuff in the room?

He knew exactly how big the new house would be.

There's simply no way it could hold all his stuff!
From beginning to end, he never thought he would move house!
The things in the house were never considered for moving, and he even used a public storage room to store his personal belongings.

挪？
How can he move it?
What happened after you moved everything?

The people outside deliberately urged and shouted.

"Could you please hurry up, former head of city affairs? Don't delay our work."

"We still have a lot to do!"

"Yes! I still need to supervise you when you move into the new house, and I'll have to keep an eye on you often from now on. We'll be dealing with each other for a long time!"

It's still growing...

It's still growing...

'To put up with these smug little devils for long? It's better to...' Ma Jin wished he could rush out and kill them, and simply go and seek refuge with Lin Xiufeng!
However, Ma Jin turned around, took two steps, and then stopped.

No, that would be exactly what many people want.

Those who want to drive him away just want to remove him from his position so they can take his place and replace him, right?
Behind these faces, there are even more masterminds!

He ran away, and these people are definitely laughing at him triumphantly!

'These despicable villains! Just wait, wait until I return as king, and I'll settle accounts with you one by one!'

Ma Jin steeled his resolve and went out on his own.

The group of people chased after him, yelling, "Moving! Where are you going? You're not going to complain to the minister, are you? Not moving is breaking the rules!"

Ma Jin ignored them and went straight to see Zhao Youyue. As soon as they met, he said:
"I've thought it through! I'll go! But on one condition: the house won't be moved, and nothing will be touched!"

Zhao Youyue looked worried about him and said, "Ma Jin, you really need to think this through. This is too difficult for you!"

“I know you value relationships. Although this matter involves principles, tasks, and work, you have always placed great importance on relationships. To sacrifice personal feelings for the sake of justice is putting you in a very difficult position!”

"Please don't act impulsively, okay?"

"I've thought it through! Please make the arrangements, Deputy Commander!" Ma Jin's resolve only hardened after hearing Zhao Youyue's advice.

Yes, this is the mission of the righteous side, and it is the work of being a member of the Heavenly Martial Corps.

When faced with matters of great importance and justice, personal feelings should be put aside.

"Ma Jin, are you really sure about this?"

Zhao Youyue confirmed it very seriously.

"Yes! I've thought it through! Personal feelings are secondary; the greater good comes first!"

Ma Jin made a confident statement.

Zhao Youyue looked at her with newfound respect, clapping her hands and praising, "You've really impressed me! I underestimated you before, thinking you were just a person who valued loyalty. Today I realize you have a heart full of righteousness!"

"Just because of your strong sense of justice! And your willingness to sacrifice personal feelings for the greater good!"

"You're definitely capable! When you return victorious, reinstatement is a given! If your contributions are significant enough, I'll do my utmost to secure the position of deputy branch manager for you! I will never let your efforts go unrewarded!"

Ma Jin said gratefully, "Thank you, Deputy Commander, thank you, Minister! I will never let you down!"

Ma Jin set off, carrying a lofty sense of mission, a desire to repay Zhao Youyue's trust, and the expectation of one day returning as a king to avenge himself against the villains, heading towards Lonely King Volcano.

After watching Ma Jin leave, Zhao Youyue stood by the window, gazing northwards.

This method was merely something Zhao Youyue had learned from what she had seen and heard during her upbringing.

Zhao Youyue knew that she was her uncle's apprentice, and that her style of doing things would become more and more like his, as would her methods and approaches.

But this has always been her pursuit since she was a child!

Her uncle, Zhao Zongshan, was someone she admired as a strong and successful person.

If it weren't for her, Zhao Zongshan would have been harmed.

Her uncle won't fall down at all.

'Lin Xiufeng, do you think that by deceiving, plotting against, and killing my uncle, you've won?'

'You're no match for my uncle. I'll make you lose, and keep losing.'

Let us remain trapped in this abyss of pain, never able to escape, endlessly hurting each other.

Lin Xiufeng suddenly woke up from her sleep.

Lin Qiru, who was awake, asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"I had a nightmare." Lin Xiufeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I dreamt that Zhao Youyue killed you."

"No, we won't." Lin Qiru hugged Lin Xiufeng's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly, "We'll be fine. With you here, I absolutely don't want to die."

Lin Xiufeng couldn't feel at ease.

In the long run, Zhao Youyue may threaten Xiaoying's life sooner or later.

The safest way is to eliminate her before that happens.

However, because of him, Xiaoying did not kill Zhao Youyue at the Lonely King Volcano.

Is it possible that because of him, Hsu Hsin-ying should be subjected to such obvious potential risks?
This, right?

Something's not right!

Just like he told Zhao Youyue back then, if you have anger, vent it outside; if you want to vent your anger, beat up the willful one together, don't fight amongst yourselves.

The same principle applies today.

Lin Xiufeng suppressed her discomfort and tried to speak calmly to Lin Qiru:
"Xiaoying, you can't take on extra danger because of me. If Zhao Youyue threatens you in the future, or if you fight with her, you should be ruthless and not worry about me."

"You will be sad."

"Compared to the grief of her death, I'd rather not face the grief of you being killed by her!" Lin Xiufeng said ruthlessly, "Remember! You should act decisively and not think about me."

"Mm," Lin Qiru replied without saying anything more.

But with Lin Xiufeng's attitude, she felt that the sun was already shining in her heart.

She would never kill Zhao Youyue unless absolutely necessary; she didn't want Lin Xiufeng to be sad.

Only when Lin Xiufeng completely lets go and resolves his grudges with Zhao Youyue will the problem be truly solved.

Only in this way can Zhao Youyue truly disappear from Lin Xiufeng's heart.

If she had killed Zhao Youyue before this, it would have only made Zhao Youyue live in Lin Xiufeng's heart forever.
