The Peony Fairy looked at Xiao Bing standing outside the door, and she had a somewhat complicated look in her eyes. The man was in Transforming Strength, and had already reached the master level of practising internal and external skills, as well as following the inclinations. If he gave up the woman, he could easily escape. But he still wanted to protect the woman he was holding in his arms. He had actively blocked blades and fists attacks for this woman several times. As a result, he was already seriously injured, and could even be dying…
“Shouldn’t all men in the world be fickle? Apart from the idiot Zhu Mingyu, how could there be such a man in the world? Why is he treating this woman so well…?”
The Peony Fairy stared at the courtyard with her big eyes. Not only the Peony Fairy, but everyone around her, gasped in surprise. At this time, the bodies of over 200 elite guards of Northern Manor, were scattered all over the place. The ground was bloody and nobody could tell if they were alive or dead. The scene resembled an ancient battlefield that had just witnessed killings of somber horror.
Gao Fei was sitting on a stone, with an awl in his hand. His body was unharmed and his expression was indifferent. He suddenly looked up at Xiao Bing and said, “Boss, the task you asked to be done has been completed.”
Xiao Bing laughed, “Well done!”
The Peony Fairy looked at Gao Fei in shock, and asked, “Did you kill all these people?”
Gao Fei didn’t answer. He jumped down from the big stone and walked slowly towards Xiao Bing. In his eyes, Peony Fairy did not exist. There was only Xiao Bing, because Xiao Bing was his boss.
Gao Fei did not react even when he saw the blood and wounds on Xiao Bing. He walked up to Xiao Bing and asked calmly, “Boss, shall I help you solve all these problems?”
Xiao Bing asked, “How will you solve it?” Xiao Bing was concerned.
“It’s up to the boss to kill or scrap them.”
Strange. The Peony Fairy and others felt funny, but they were not laughing. What kind of person was he, to make such an understatement about murder so calmly?
Gao Fei was different from Lil Bei. When Lil Bei killed people, he was full of anger, sadness and emotion. But when Gao Fei killed people, it really seemed like he was just completing a very routine job. It was very natural for him. Life was not life in his eyes. Perhaps the lives of people who had nothing to do with him, was not life, in his eyes.
There was a hint of anger in the Peony Fairy’s eyes. The stout man got up from the ground and ran back to the Peony Fairy. The stout man was at the middle stage of Concealing strength and had strong fighting abilities. He was able to withstand the power of Xiao Bing’s foot. Luckily for him, Xiao Bing’s kick was a hurried one, as he also had to look out for the two men, who were attacking Yezi behind him, so the stout man only received a kick with one foot, and did not suffer that badly.
The Peony Fairy’s eyes locked with Xiao Bing and Gao Fei. Her strength was at the initial stage of Transforming Strength. But because Xiao Bing’s old wounds were not healed yet and he had fresh wounds, the pressure she gave off at this time, was still stronger than Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing shook his head, entrusted Yezi to Gao Fei and said, “Take good care of my woman.”
Yezi looked at Xiao Bing’s blood, which was all over his body and the several bloody wounds, and her tears were almost falling. She said, “Brother Bing, don’t fight with them directly. They can’t stop us. Let’s go.”
Xiao Bing shook his head and said, “There are some things that need to be solved eventually. Today is the best time. We should solve them all at once.”
“Brother Bing, everything that happened today was because of me. If you die, I will not want to live alone.”
Xiao Bing gently kissed Yezi on her forehead and said softly, “Take it easy. Brother Bing will not leave you alone in the world. The reason why I dared to come is because no one can kill me.”
There was an air of confidence in his voice and eyes, which made Gao Fei take another look at Xiao Bing. His mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but eventually, he closed it.
Even though Xiao Bing was all bloody and injured, looking at his self-confidence, Yezi could not help feeling relieved, without any good reasons. She followed Gao Fei willingly, to a far corner and stood still.
Xiao Bing turned to face the Peony Fairy, and felt her threatening and terrible aura. But Xiao Bing turned a blind eye to it, as it had no effect on both his body and spirit.
He took a very graceful step forward and grinned, “Actually, today was a game you had set up, but have you ever considered that this situation may also be what I had expected?”
The dumpty scolded, “Do you want to be killed?”
Xiao Bing laughed. “We all know that Northern Manor hates me very much. North Heaven Queen and I must die or suffer injuries sooner or later. But the main question is, who will die and who will get injured?”
“As the saying goes, an exposed gun is easier to hide than a hidden one. You Northern Manor are in the dark, while I, Xiao Bing, am in the public eye. More importantly, there is a boss who is backing you, the real master of Jiang City, Master Hou, who cannot be ignored.”
The Peony Fairy said coldly, “What are you trying to say?”
Xiao Bing laughed, “Whether you disobey the order of Master Hou or not, you were a card which he relied on, after all. He could not ignore this card, so he was fair on the surface, because he knows you are strong and I am weak. Your strength is better than mine, and with more masters and minions around you, you would almost defeat me completely. Master Hou still wants to solicit me. And in his view, you are almost in an impregnable position, so why meddle in it? Therefore, even if he knew clearly that we had a deep feud, he ignored it and did not favor you at all, so that people could see that he is a just person.”
“However, I, Xiao Bing can’t ignore this. Master Hou’s attitude is one of the weights the Peony Fairy can rely on. Master Hou ignored it because he thought I was not a threat to you, but it doesn’t mean he will let me to destroy your secret power. If I take the initiative to create this situation today and I bring people to invade Northern Manor, and eventually I am the strongest force of the northern part, then Northern Manor will collapse. What do you think, will Master Hou be furious? Will he even send masters to kill me?”
“So he didn’t take action on the surface, but it was enough to make me lose all opportunities. This is the genius of Master Hou. First, he thought I don’t have the power that can threaten you. Second, he knew that I would not dare to take the initiative to start any action. That would definitely annoy Master Hou. And then he would kill me together with you.”
“I dare not do this because I will lose the first chance if I do so. Then, I will only be beaten passively, and will always live in fear of being ambushed and assassinated… But I cannot use the same means to kill you, the Peony Fairy.”
“Today, you let me take part in the game, which merely gave me a justified chance to settle the problem with you. Even if you, the Peony Fairy should die today, I can still tell Master Hou that you set up the game to kill me, and I am only protecting myself… ”
The Peony Fairy sneered, “You are so calculative and shrewd. I suppose that you asked Master Hou to come to me to seek peace for today, right?”
“Of course,” Xiao Bing laughed, “You hate me so much, why wouldn’t I want to kill you? If you don’t die, I’ll be upset and nervous every day. But I have to wait and show myself in front of Master Hou first, wait for a good opportunity so that he can understand that I have no malice towards you. In this way, I might be killed today. Won’t it sound more justifiable?”
“Excellent, you are good,” the Peony Fairy sighed, “I always thought you were a rude man, but now I find that you are not…”
“Well, it’s a pity… It wasn’t you who was in the arena previously. I thought it was the best chance to fight for my life. This will also smooth your advantage in manpower. It’s a pity that Zhu Mingyu… ”
When Zhu Mingyu’s name was mentioned, the Peony Fairy’s eyes filled with hate. She snorted coldly, “Do you think if I was in the arena last time, you would still have a chance to survive?”
“Yes,” Xiao Bing agreed. Xiao Bing’s strength at that time was still in the middle of Concealing strength. Even if he could fight against Zhu Mingyu, the top Concealing strength master, with his combat experiences and skills, he would surely lose when facing the Peony Fairy, who was in Transforming Strength. “Zhu Mingyu looked up to me, but belittled me. That’s why he died.”
“You have no chance now. You will die today. “After the Peony Fairy finished speaking, she pointed to Xiao Bing and said, “Kill him.”
The Peony Fairy was right. Without the unpredictable master Gao Fei, Xiao Bing would definitely die today, in this situation. He had been seriously injured, and the old injuries had not healed yet. The masters around the Peony Fairy were enough to make all his strength run out. What’s more, the Peony Fairy, the strongest master of Northern Manor, was waiting. No matter what the situation was, the only chance to experience a miracle, was through Gao Fei’s skills.
Standing far away, Gao Fei did not mean to take any action. Xiao Bing was his boss, and Xiao Bing’s life and death had nothing to do with him. But the boss’s orders must be obeyed, which was the consciousness he had cultivated since he was young. The boss had said to protect Yezi and not to take any action. So he would not take any action. Even if Xiao Bing died, he would not take any action either.
Yezi suddenly asked, “What are the chances of Brother Bing winning?”
Gao Fei looked at Xiao Bing and the Peony Fairy carefully and said softly, “Zero.”
Yezi trembled, but she did not make any noise. She was a sensible girl, and knew that Xiao Bing would not retreat freely in this situation. She could only hold back the worry in her heart and pray for Xiao Bing. She bit her lips, and secretly thought, “Brother Bing, I, Yezi, will live and die for you today.”
“It is all up to you.”
Xiao Bing!
