As he passed by Feng Ying, he was told, "I heard what you asked Granny Liu about."

"I know the secrets she won't tell you, and I can tell you too..."

Although Feng Ying didn't finish her sentence, Li Muxuan hesitated for a moment before refusing:

"It's nothing, just curious. I won't ask anymore."

"Grandma Liu warned me not to tell you about what's going on outside. If you want to know, go ask her."

Finished.

Li Muxuan quickened his pace and walked away. He knew clearly that he had no self-control and was constantly on the verge of wavering as he faced Feng Ying's questioning alone.

The girl stood there, her feelings complicated, having failed once again.

"Ugh......."

She frowned slightly, feeling utterly powerless. In the mountains, neither Granny Liu, Brother Li, nor any of the other elders would tell her any news from the outside world.

In a daze, Feng Ying felt no different from those livestock imprisoned in wooden cages.

..........

A coastal city in the south.

After Wu Gensheng and many other Quanxing masters fell one after another at the hands of the Sanyi Sect, Jin Feng and Xia Liuqing, who escaped the purge, are now walking towards the luxurious mansion ahead.

"Stop! This belongs to Boss Su..."

A security guard tried to stop her, but before he could finish speaking, Jin Feng retorted.

“Go tell your boss that his sect leader is dead. If he doesn’t want revenge, we should leave now.”

The gatekeeper was furious and waved his hand impatiently: "Go away, go away, where are you stinking beggars? Get out of here and don't dirty our ground."

Seeing that he was unwilling to even inform her, Jin Feng glanced at Xia Liuqing, signaling her to take action.

Before the two ordinary security guards could react, a blur of motion struck them, delivering a swift chop to their necks, causing them to collapse and lose consciousness.

After getting rid of the obstacle, Xia Liuqing cursed, "That old bastard Su Huo has really gotten to himself. Now that he has so much influence, he knows how to enjoy himself."

With a creak, the heavy, dark door was pushed open.

The villa is magnificent, with all kinds of furniture made of Phoebe zhennan wood, and a large number of precious antiques are displayed in the wall cabinets.

More than ten servants stood in various corners of the hall, looking at the man and woman who walked in with some surprise.

Not far away, a lively scene unfolded: a Mediterranean-looking, pot-bellied man was entertaining several business friends, playing mahjong and discussing business.

Those elegantly dressed socialites, adorned with rouge and powder, carefully served these wealthy men.

"Boss, an old acquaintance of yours is looking for you."

The steward standing beside Su Huo vaguely remembered the appearances of Jin Feng and Xia Liuqing, and immediately reported upon seeing them.

"acquaintance?"

Su Huo was somewhat confused, guessing that the butler was mindful of the guests present and dared not speak openly, so he subconsciously looked up.

The next instant, his pupils contracted slightly as he spotted Jin Feng and Xia Liuqing walking towards him.

Before they could speak, Su Huo stood up with a forced smile and explained to his friends, "Gentlemen, please continue enjoying yourselves. My family has arrived. Excuse me."

After saying that, he patted the dancer who was serving him.

"Play with Mr. Zhang and his friends for now. Put all the wins and losses on my tab."

Immediately afterwards, Su Huo waved to Jin Feng and Xia Liuqing, and then headed to the study on the second floor.

"You're here? Old friends, it's been so long, I've been missing you all."

After closing the door, Su Huo, with his round beer belly, plopped down on the sofa and chatted with Jin Feng and Xia Liuqing.

"Sit down, sit down!"

"Gulu gulu."

He took the initiative to open a bottle of expensive foreign liquor to entertain his old friend.

"Su Huo, the sect leader was killed by the Sanyi Sect. Will you avenge him or not?"

Jin Feng got straight to the point, asking Su Huo for an answer.

The bald, middle-aged man's smile froze on his face. He slapped his thigh and said in distress:

"Revenge? How am I supposed to take revenge?!"

"The mess I made back then is enough to give me a hard time. Besides, my skills are so mediocre, I'm practically a lackey. It's good enough that I can just establish myself in this little corner and enjoy my retirement."

Chapter 123 Audacious Thieves

"You even know what rotten ass is?"

"First, they murdered their competitors, seized their goods that were sold to the front lines, and then raised prices on the spot."

Xia Liuqing's face darkened, and she said unhappily, "Profiteering from national disasters is a recipe for disaster. When you were being chased by your enemies, it was the sect leader and I who saved you."

"Ah, no merchant is without guile. Let's not talk about these old things. I had no choice but to do it, Brother Xia."

"You know the situation. If I say no, I might end up dead in the street the next day."

Su Huo was indeed feeling guilty about this matter and didn't want to delve into it, so he quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic, then helplessly mocked himself:

"I only have this worthless life, I don't care if I die, but who can afford to mess with the Trinity Sect now?"

"All the skilled fighters in the sect have been killed; some are dead, and some have fled."

"Even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn't know where to start. I can't possibly be so old as to fight to the death with those hot-blooded youngsters, can I?"

Su Huo, who was over fifty years old, had a fleshy face, a thick beard, but was severely bald, had a greasy nose, yellow teeth stained by smoking, and dark bags under his eyes, looking like someone who had indulged in excessive sexual activity.

Let alone dealing with superhumans, his body had long been hollowed out by years of debauchery and nightly revelry. Even if he wanted to deal with ordinary, strong men, he would be willing but unable.

The atmosphere in the study gradually became oppressive. Jin Feng stared coldly at Su Huo.

"Stop playing dumb here. Not to mention now, even in the past you were just a scrap of Quanxing. I never expected you to have much guts to cause trouble for Sanyimen."

"Then tell me what you mean, Sister Jin Feng. We rarely get to meet, do we really have to make things so awkward?"

Su Huo's right hand, which resembled a pig's trotter, covered with five fingers and grasped a glass of freshly filled foreign liquor. He handed it to Jin Feng and then gave another glass to Xia Liuqing.

A simple, honest smile appeared on his lips:

"If you want to take the blame for the sect leader, then take it. I may not have any men, but I can get you some guns."

"Anyway, I'm not getting involved in this mess. You can do whatever you want."

Seeing that he had drawn a line, Xia Liuqing understood the underlying meaning. After a moment's consideration, Jin Feng said coldly:

"I don't need guns, I need money, lots and lots of money... I know you, Su Huo, are incredibly wealthy, is that too much to ask?"

"Give me all these vulgar things. They are nothing compared to the life-or-death bond I have with you two and the sect leader."

Su Huo agreed without hesitation. He had no children, and after his death, money would be nothing but dust, so keeping it would be useless.

Even though he squandered money every day, he still spent more and more, and his merchants made huge profits as if it were child's play.

"Are you two planning to hire assassins?"

When Su Huo pressed her for an answer, Jin Feng nodded in agreement. She understood that she and Xia Liuqing alone were far from enough to deal with the Sanyi Sect.

"Looking for the Tang Clan?"

Su Huo probed indirectly, "When it comes to the business of killing, they are indeed formidable... that Dan Shi technique, they might actually succeed."

"The Tang Clan is just one of them. There are other assassin forces as well. In this chaotic world, as long as you can afford it, there's nothing you can't buy."

Jin Feng did not deny that this was her original plan.

"Brother Xia, are you coming along too?"

Su Huo lay on the sofa, his right hand reaching for the cigarette case on the table, opening it and taking out a cigar.

"Clap!"

He flicked the lighter, slowly lit it, held it in his mouth, took a deep drag, and revealed a thoroughly satisfied expression.

“We can’t go. Many people from the Tang Clan have died at the hands of the Quanxing Sect throughout history. They are also busy with many orders right now, so Jin Feng and I can’t show our faces.”

Upon hearing this, Su Huo felt slightly uneasy, his brows furrowing as he tentatively asked:

"So you want me to go? I'm also a member of the Quanxing, and my identity is sensitive. If something happens and I'm discovered, I'll lose my life there."

"You think you're worthy of Quanxing? You joined less than half a month ago and are already clamoring to quit. Who would even notice you?"

Jin Feng made up her mind and acted somewhat forcefully, leaving no room for negotiation:

"Fatty Su, haven't you made enough money in all these years?"

"You know whether you have a conscience or not. Regarding this matter of the sect leader, Xia Liuqing and I have already decided that the Sanyi Sect must pay the price."

"If you don't help at all and don't contribute a single penny, there's nothing we can do about it. Leave now."

"Either you help them to the end, contribute money and effort, and talk to the leaders of those assassin groups, and we will protect you."

Su Huo's expression was uncertain; he wanted to help, but he also had many concerns.

After all, the ruthless methods displayed by the Trinity Sect some time ago were truly terrifying; most of their strongholds were wiped out before they could even react.

Even a seasoned veteran like Su Huo, who held power and influence in the secular world, found it extremely troublesome.

"Let me think about it...?"

Su Huo couldn't make a decision immediately; he needed time to calm down and avoid making the wrong choice.

"how long?"

Jin Feng didn't insist; as long as Su Huo was willing to participate, she was willing to wait.

"one day."

Su Huo rubbed his temples, exhaled a smoke ring, and sighed:

"You can stay here for now. It's all very dangerous outside, and it's not a good place to go. At least here you'll have plenty of food and clothing and can enjoy a comfortable life. I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Can....."

Jin Feng suddenly felt a discomfort in her throat, so she hurriedly got up and left the study to find the bathroom on the second floor.

After she left, Su Huo crossed his legs and asked jokingly:

"Brother Xia, I really don't understand why you like this selfish and self-serving country girl?"

"You try so hard to please her, but she only likes the sect leader. Now she's even dragging you into her revenge. How pathetic."

Xia Liuqing clenched her fist slightly and argued, "No... Jin Feng, her feelings for the sect leader are not romantic; it's purely a disciple's admiration for their leader."

"Is there a difference? Hmm?"

Su Huo leaned closer, his large, greasy hand resting on Xia Liuqing's shoulder, and said, seemingly casually:

"It's true that the sect leader has been kind to me, but you, silly brother, have also been kind to me..."

"Do you really want to be tied to her for the rest of your life?"

"Aren't you just a novice right now? Why don't you go to Longhu Mountain and become a monk, practice some kind of Golden Light Mantra, Yang Five Thunder Purify the Mind and Reduce Desires, and cut off all delusions for the rest of your life."

Xia Liuqing shook his head. Even though he was being mocked, he didn't get angry. Instead, he said earnestly:

“My liking for Jin Feng is my business; who she likes and whether she likes me or not are two different things.”

Hearing these astonishing remarks, Su Huo almost fainted. He rubbed his forehead, and with a look of utter exasperation, suggested:

"I think you're naive and innocent. The dancers downstairs are far more beautiful and have better figures than your country bumpkin."

"Brother, pick a few, and I'll let them accompany you to enjoy the pleasures of love, so that when the Sanyi Sect comes to settle scores, you'll still be a virgin. That would be too humiliating."

"Go away!! You old bastard, don't try to fool me."

Xia Liuqing looked disgusted and said disdainfully, "Those dancers are filthy. I'm not interested. I advise you to be careful, or you might get syphilis and kill yourself."

"Hey! You've got some nerve, lecturing me now."

Su Huo was so angry that he blurted out with a laugh, "Xia Liuqing, you virgin, take it or leave it."
