62 Donât Make Things Difficult For Me
As one of the top families in Ji city, the Li familyâs overnight annihilation instantly caused a flurry of discussions.
There were all kinds of rumors. It could be that they had encountered a fierce beast, it could be that they had offended a big shot, and there were even rumors that the eldest senior brother was the culprit.
Anyway, there were all kinds of comments. Everyone didnât care about the background of this matter. They just liked to talk about it. The truth behind it wasnât that important.
To ordinary people, the extermination of a family was something that they deserved.
!!
After all, they used their family background to bully others. Now, people had no sympathy for them. Even if the Li family had helped others before, some people still couldnât help but ridicule them.
Now that such a notorious family had been exterminated, everyone wanted to go up and take a few steps.
âTheyâre usually arrogant and condescending. They bully the weak and bully others. This is their end.
âBut whatâs strange is that the Li family just sent a gift to Ling Feng as an apology, and then they were exterminated. Could it be that it was Ling Feng who did it?â
âBut itâs impossible for Ling Feng to annihilate the entire sect. His current strength is not enough to do that.
âIâm too lazy to guess. Letâs just drink!â
â¦
At this moment.
The other forces who had obtained the true information were all frightened and uneasy.
The Liu family.
The head of the family was so anxious that he paced around, worried and uneasy.
âHurry up and find out which juniors are usually arrogant and overbearing. Quickly call them back and lock them up in the family.
âDonât ever talk about Ling Feng, and donât spread any rumors. His backer is still around, and there might be a hidden reason behind the extermination of his family.
âHurry!â
â¦
Meanwhile, the Bai family.
After receiving the information, Bai Qianlang was stunned.
âThe Li family was annihilated overnight. Itâs gone, just like that?â
âMy acquaintance at the Ministry of Law sent me information,â the old man said seriously. âThe Li family colluded with the realm of the dead to revive his son. Ling Fengâs eldest senior brother discovered them, so they killed the entire family.
âThis isâ¦â The white-haired man exclaimed in surprise. âThis temperament is indeed fierce!â
The Bai familyâs Grand Elder agreed with the other partyâs opinion. This young manâs temperament was exactly the same as his younger self.
However, now that he was getting older, his personality had gradually become tactful. If he had done things according to his heart, he would not have been able to reach where he was now.
This world was mixed with many interests, and only a few people could not be confused.
âThe Sword God also had this character back then. As his disciple, itâs only right. However, I donât know how the Ministry of Law will sentence him. It would be a pity if he were to be heavily sentenced.â
The Bai familyâs Grand Elder couldnât help but sigh. The authority of the law department and the connections were all extremely complicated. If someone with ill intentions used them, Wang Buyuâs reputation would be destroyed.
Bai Qianlang was puzzled.
âNo matter how powerful the Ministry of Law is, they shouldnât be able to distort the truth.â
He was still young, only in his early 30s. He was not as steady as the great-grandfather and lacked a good attitude and outlook.
âSword God was also a proud son of heaven in the past. Unfortunately, he offended many people. Those people he offended now have great forces and are sitting in high positions. If these people take the opportunity to show off their strength, Iâm afraid even Sword God will have a hard time dealing with them.
âThe Sword God guards the sinkhole. Which Great War wasnât won because of him? heâs a respected senior. How is that possibleâ¦â
âIt canât be helped. Who wouldnât be envious and jealous of those who stand at the top? They wish they could tear them apart and replace them. Even if they couldnât do anything to him, there is such a good opportunity in front of them. How can we just turn a blind eye and do nothing?
âMoreover, his disciple is so arrogant that he destroyed an entire family with his own power. There are so many corpses overnight. He has to give an explanation. Otherwise, as his master, wonât he be criticized by later generations?â
The white-haired man was shocked. With this hint, he instantly understood the severity of the matter.
âIs that really possible? thatâs the Sword God! Does everyone not want to live anymore?â
The Bai familyâs Grand Elder heaved a long sigh.
âWho can be sure about this kind of thing?â
The atmosphere was tense, and the two of them were silent.
As for how this matter would develop, they could only watch. They could do nothing.
The servantâs voice came from outside the door.
âOld master, great-old master. Thereâs a man called Ling Feng who has come to visit you two.â
As soon as he said this.
The two people in the room looked at each other in unison.
âBring him to the main hall. Weâll be there in a moment,â replied the grand old man.
Bai Qianlang was extremely surprised. âLing Feng didnât come at this time to ask for help, did he? Our insignificant abilities canât be of any help!â
The extermination of a family was not a small case that any force could settle. Furthermore, the Ministry of Law was now involved, and the one on the other side was the famous Li family.
No matter how they thought about it, they couldnât intervene.
The old man thought about it carefully.
âWe really canât help with this matter. If we canât refuse, then we can only delay it. Iâm sure he wonât only think of us. If we donât make a move, the other families probably wonât either. Since things have dragged on, Ling Feng can only think of another way.â
âWill this really work?â
âLetâs do it this way. You go deal with Ling Feng.â
...
âYes!â
In the hall.
Ling Fengâs face was filled with anxiety, and his mind was restless. He was worried about eldest senior brother.
Even the super-expensive tea was boring.
It was not entirely eldest senior brotherâs fault that the entire sect was annihilated. He was also partly to blame this time.
He was the one who killed second young master Li, and he was also the one who begged eldest brother to go to the Li family. Otherwise, eldest brother wouldnât have found out about the Li familyâs shady business. Eldest brother was so angry that he killed the whole family with his sword.
The Li family also colluded with the realm of the dead to save his son. Although he didnât take action directly, he was also inextricably linked to this.
Although he had vented his hatred, the trouble was not small!
The crime of colluding with the realm of the dead was indeed enough to exterminate the whole family, but this matter was decided by eldest brother alone, who directly ignored the Ministry of Law and the rules.
It was definitely not allowed to skip the process and directly kill the whole family.
Consequently, Ling Fengâs visit this time was not in the hope that the Bai family would step forward to solve the problem. He knew that the Bai family did not have such great ability. He only wanted the Bai family to inquire about the current situation of his eldest senior brother.
...
There were also some other small matters that he wanted to trouble the Bai family with.
âIâm late. Please forgive me,â the white-shirted man apologized with his thick eyebrows.
Ling Feng stood up and nodded his head. The two of them were very polite.
âLordmaster, Iâm also deeply sorry for suddenly coming to disturb you.â
Hearing this, Bai Qianlang felt that Ling Fengâs tone was respectful and humble, which was rare among the younger generation of aristocratic families.
However, he wasnât so polite before. It seemed that he really had a request for the Bai family.
This form of address was more intimate. After all, the other juniors would respectfully call him master white when they saw him.
With the relationship between Ling Feng and Xiaosa, it was normal for him to address him as âold master.â
âThis junior suddenly came to visit to return the favor. I didnât know what the lordmaster liked, so I made the decision and picked out some gifts.â
The check fell on the table, and Ling Feng pushed it in front of the white-haired man.
The white-haired manâs expression was indifferent, and he didnât care.
He was just a junior and an orphan. How much could he possibly have?
Moreover, wasnât his family much richer than Ling Fengâs? Was there a need for a junior to send money?
Although he didnât care, he still took a glance.
He didnât know if he didnât look, but he was almost stunned.
Good fellow! This Ling Feng really doesnât show his true self!
This was such a large sum of money.
âThis is just a deposit. If old master can help me and help my eldest senior brother get out safely, I will still thank you later.
Bai Qianlang was dumbfounded.
This Ling Feng had only been flattered recently. He was actually willing to give up this hard-earned money just for a senior brother who was about to become a student in the same school.
However, this chivalrous spirit was really impressive.
âOld master?â
Seeing that the other party was a little distracted, Ling Feng called out to him.
The white-haired man laughed awkwardly and immediately recalled his fatherâs words.
This matter was indeed too big. Their Bai family wanted to help but lacked the strength to do so. They were unable to help at all.
So, when he saw the check, he could only refuse.
âThis matter has really blown up. Let alone our Bai family, even if all the other powers were to join forces, they might not be able to get involved. Ling Feng, donât make things difficult for me.â
After hearing this, Ling Fengâs expression darkened.
The power of the Ministry of Law was indeed too great. Even the Bai family had no say in their presence.
The Bai familyâs rejection was reasonable, and Ling Feng did not have any complaints. After all, they were not capable enough.
He could only think of other ways.
âOld man, you canât do this, but thereâs something I need your help with.â
âPlease speak.â
âIâve gotten a third of the Li familyâs assets, and I want to sell all of them. I wonder if the old man can help me with this.â
So it was like this.
This wasnât a big deal, so he said straightforwardly, âI can indeed help you with this. Why donât you put it up for auction in my Bai clanâs auction house?â
âI am extremely grateful that the old master is willing to help. Then I must trouble you on this matter. I will take my leave first!â
