C233 Enduring the Humiliation

Bai Zi had never come out before. She understood that if she came out now, only death awaited her. Now, she had to find a way to avoid this disaster and leave Qiantang City. Only then would she have the chance to expose Young Master Wuyue's plot.

Time passed by slowly. Bai Zi gradually lost consciousness. When she woke up again, it was silent outside. There was no sound of anyone. It was as if there was no one living here.

Bai Zi climbed out of the stove. The outside was spotless and there were no changes except for the absence of people. The people from the branch had all disappeared. This place had indeed become a lifeless place.

Bai Zi was stunned there for a long time, but she did not know where to go. At this time, a person's figure flashed in her mind, Xiao Nanfeng. She didn't know how much time it would take to return to Imperial Realm from here, but she could only go to Gusu and find Xiao Nanfeng. The only person who could compete with Young Master Wuyue was Xiao Nanfeng.

Bai Zi gritted her teeth and made up her mind. No matter how difficult it was, she had to find Xiao Nanfeng. Only by finding Xiao Nanfeng would Bai Qianqiu have a chance to live. This was also the only hope in Imperial Realm and the entire martial arts world.

Although the journey was not as far as the Imperial Realm, But for a girl, it was too far. It was really difficult to reach there with just two legs. But the silver taels on Bai Zi's body were only enough for a few days of food. She did not even know how to fill her stomach after the money was used up.

When people reached this stage, they couldn't care about their dignity anymore. What she wanted to do the most now was to earn money. But for a girl, it was not easy to earn money. Because she could not do physical work, brain work might not be enough. Bai Zi thought about it and still decided to make a mask.

She first dressed up as a merchant and spent some silver to buy the cheapest load. Then she bought some plaster powder and made a few masks. Then she went on her way.

Only in this way could she safely reach Gusu. After arriving at Gusu, she naturally had a way to find Xiao Nanfeng. The city gates of the Qiantang City were always open. Bai Zi did not know how many cargos like Bai Zi would go in and out every day. What Bai Zi did not know was. . . Not long after Bai Zi left Qiantang City, Qiantang City was sealed off. No one was allowed to enter and exit without permission. They had to go through an investigation.

Bai Zi's departure shook the entire city, but it did not reach Bai Qianqiu's ears. Bai Qianqiu was still in seclusion. Without his permission, no one could enter this place, not even Young Master Wuyue. This was the agreement between the two of them.

As for what kind of agreement they had, only the two of them knew. Xiao Nanfeng was currently eating a bowl of Spring Sun Noodle Soup on the noodles. The early winter morning was very cold. Many people were wrapped in cotton coats, but Xiao Nanfeng did not feel the slightest chill.

After a bowl of hot Yang Chun Noodle Soup entered his stomach, Xiao Nanfeng felt a little hot all over his body. He took off his coat, revealing his strong and strong arms. Everyone who had seen this pair of arms would exclaim in admiration. Xiao Nanfeng was indeed a seedling for practicing martial arts.

His muscles were very well-proportioned. There was no excess fat, and his movements were not affected by his muscles being too large. That was why his technique was very flexible and his speed could be trained.

The sky was dark. Although it was early in the morning, it gave people a very depressing feeling. Xiao Nanfeng took a long breath and stretched his body. Just as he was about to leave this place, he found a person hiding in a dark corner secretly looking at him.

He only took a glance and knew that this person was very familiar to him, Old Ma. At this time, Old Ma was like a beggar. Not a single part of his body was clean. His clothes were full of holes. Not only that, his face had also turned green. One piece was purple, and seven or eight teeth were missing from his mouth.

He was smiling foolishly at Xiao Nanfeng, but Xiao Nanfeng's expression changed. Tears slowly flowed out of the corners of his eyes. He did not expect Old Ma to end up like this. Xiao Nanfeng put down the chopsticks in his hands. He did not take off his coat and ran to Old Ma. He knelt in front of Old Ma and looked at him.

Old Ma touched Xiao Nanfeng's face and kept smiling. It seemed like he had gone crazy. Xiao Nanfeng could not bear to watch any longer. He put Old Ma on his shoulder and walked towards the house.

That was their home before, but now there were spider webs everywhere. There was a small sand dune in the yard. It seemed that this was the place where Mrs Ma was buried. The roof was already broken. The rain that fell from the roof made the furniture in the house rotten.

Xiao Nanfeng simply tidied up the bed and placed Old Ma on it. At this time, Old Ma looked at Xiao Nanfeng, but his face showed fear. He kicked Xiao Nanfeng and scolded, "Not human, not human!"

Xiao Nanfeng's face had been kicked many times by Old Ma, but Xiao Nanfeng had no intention of dodging. He could not bear to see Old Ma leave. He did not want Old Ma to continue like this. Everything that happened to Old Ma was because of him.

If Xiao Nanfeng hadn't come to Old Ma's home, Old Ma and Mrs Ma would still be living a happy life. Mrs Ma would never die, and Old Ma would never go crazy.

Sometimes, people were like this. Even if that person wasn't caused by you, if it was because of you that he became like this, you would still feel guilty in your heart. To Xiao Nanfeng, Old Ma was just like his father. He had lost his father since he was young, and the only thing he had gotten from Old Ma was fatherly love.

Unfortunately, Old Ma's fatherly love was very short, and he no longer had it. In front of Mrs Ma's tomb. Xiao Nanfeng set up a stone tablet. He kowtowed three times on the ground.

He went to Yunyun's house next door. It was also a place that made him sad. Yunyun had passed away a long time ago. Yunyun's mother and Old Cui had gradually recovered their former calmness. However, when Xiao Nanfeng opened the door and entered, Yunyun's mother's face still revealed a disappointed and angry expression.

But now, she didn't dare to randomly throw a temper at Xiao Nanfeng. After all, Xiao Nanfeng's reputation had spread far and wide in this generation. As the most famous saber user in recent years, Xiao Nanfeng was undoubtedly the most successful.

Yunyun's mother said sadly, "Return, you're back?" Xiao Nanfeng nodded, then knelt heavily on the ground. He kowtowed three times to Second Elder Zheng and said, "My son-in-law is unfilial. I have worried the two of you. "

Yunyun's mother looked upset and her eyes were filled with tears. She quickly went forward to help Xiao Nanfeng up. "It's okay. It's okay. I'll be fine as long as I come back. " Old Cui also followed and walked over. "When you come back, you will be a family. "

Xiao Nanfeng stood up and carried them out. He pulled Old Ma over from outside the courtyard and pointed at Old Ma. "Father, mother, son-in-law has a presumptuous request. Old Ma has gone mad now. I hope he can live with you guys. "

Yunyun's mother frowned. "Ah, Old Ma is pitiful, and Mrs Ma is pitiful as well. However, our family can no longer bear the torment. Feng, it would be best if you could come back. "

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head and said, "I can't stay here. I think you already know my identity. If I hadn't stayed here, Mrs Ma would never have been killed. So, I can only leave you guys far away. You guys are the ones who are safe. I have some silver taels here, which will be enough for a while. I'll bring them back after a while. "

He looked at Old Ma. "But Old Ma can't live alone anymore. He is full of hostility towards me. He can't be with me at all. Now I can only rely on you. "

Before Yunyun's mother could speak, Old Cui had already spoken. "Old Ma is my good friend for many years. For the rest of his life. I naturally can't ignore it. Don't worry, Feng. As long as there is hope in this world, there is still hope for survival. Then Old Ma will definitely live a good life in my place. However, the world has changed. "

Xiao Nanfeng knew what Old Cui meant. Now that Murong Ke had become the city lord of Gusu City, all the important members were Murong Ke's trusted aides, and his trusted aides were in charge of the lower levels. There were relatives everywhere. This caused the management of Gusu City to fall into an unprecedented state of paralysis.

They only cared about exploiting the common people, but they never imagined what they should do for the common people. The current Gusu was not as prosperous as the Dugu family and the Murong family in the past. Instead, it had become more ferocious and shameless.

Old Cui had also lost his job because of this. Mrs Ma was even worse, the Dugu family was gone. How could there be any work to do? The world had really changed. Xiao Nanfeng nodded. "Don't worry, I'm going to change the world. "

Old Cui nodded heavily. "I know you're a capable child, but you have to pay attention to your health. You can't force yourself to do anything. If you can do it, then let's do it. If you can't, then let's endure it. "

Xiao Nanfeng left this place that brought him warmth and sorrow. Although he didn't know where he was going, he knew where he was going.

After Luo Que was killed, Murong Ke flew into a rage. He summoned all the people in the City Lord's Mansion and wanted to find out the reason behind it. Finally, he found out that someone had sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion that night, and it was from the kitchen. One of the maids in the kitchen had even lost her life because of this.

The kitchen was not only the kitchen, but also the hunting ground. There were many fierce beasts in the hunting ground. After the person who kept the fierce beasts died, that place became a mess. No one could control these fierce beasts anymore. Many people were injured because of this.

Murong Ke's facial expression changed. He summoned all the maids in the kitchen. In a fit of anger, he stabbed all of them to death, just to accompany Luo Que.

Xiao Baobao never thought that his impulsive action would cause the death of more than a dozen people. He finally realized that his master had such a ruthless side to him. However, Murong Ke didn't have anything to say to Xiao Baobao. All along, Xiao Baobao was the only disciple he trusted and cared for the most.

In addition, Xiao Baobao had also learned the most Kung Fu from him. If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Baobao would be his ideal successor. Of course, he was still very young and did not need to consider the matter of the successor. When Xiao Baobao grew up, he would definitely be Murong Ke's most capable assistant. Even now, Xiao Baobao could help Murong Ke a lot.

Murong Ke's eyes swept across Xiao Baobao. He knew that the only person who had seen the murderer was Xiao Baobao. Because Xiao Baobao had also been hit by a knife and was seriously injured.

"Baby, tell me, what does that person look like?" Murong Ke looked at Xiao Baobao and asked faintly. Xiao Baobao could not help but tremble a little. He stammered, "He has a long beard, and he is wearing dirty and stinky clothes. His hair is very fluffy, and I can't see anything else clearly. "

Murong Ke nodded. "It's really hard on you. You can still remember so many of his characteristics when you fight with such an expert. What do you think of this person's martial arts? Have you seen him in the past?"

Xiao Baobao shook his head. "This person's martial arts skills are very strange. There are some moves in a while, but I really can't tell what his path is. Maybe he's just a wastrel swordsman who wants to make a fortune in City Lord's Mansion. "

Murong Ke said coldly. "You just need to answer me and let me judge. " Xiao Baobao trembled again. He nodded and said, "Yes. "

Murong Ke asked again. "Then how many moves did you exchange with him?" Xiao Baobao stammered, "More than ten moves. Later on, he suddenly changed his moves. His inner energy was also very strong. I really could not withstand it, so I lost. "

Murong Ke nodded. "More than ten moves. Looks like you really did your best. I see that Luo Que did not even receive a single move from him. " Xiao Baobao's body trembled. He didn't know what had happened. He must have said something wrong. It must be Murong Ke who had discovered something.

Murong Ke continued, "Luo Que's hand did not even touch his blade before it was taken care of by that person in one move. It seems like your martial arts has improved a lot!"

Xiao Baobao quickly knelt down. "This is all thanks to Master's teachings. Luo Que's death might be an accident. That person might have appeared and attacked without Luo Que's attention. "

Murong Ke took a sip of tea and said, "Continue. " Xiao Baobao licked his lips and continued, "When I arrived, Luo Que was already lying on the ground. That's why I think that person must be an outsider. Who would have thought that he wouldn't be able to defeat him? "

Murong Ke didn't say anything and continued listening. Xiao Baobao didn't dare to continue. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he made. That was why he didn't want any more flaws to be discovered by Murong Ke.

After a long time, Murong Ke frowned and said, "No, that's not right. Luo Que was killed from the front, so he must have seen the person who killed him. There were only two situations where he would be killed by one attack. Or this person's martial arts was very high. If he can kill him in one move, he won't even have the chance to fight back. "

Xiao Baobao listened and didn't interrupt. Murong Ke glanced at him and said, "There is another possibility. This person is someone he is very familiar with. He didn't take any precautions against this person. "

Xiao Baobao was stunned. His heart was beating violently. He tried his best not to show any change in his expression. Murong Ke looked at Xiao Baobao with a smile and said faintly, "Baby, do you think my analysis makes sense?"

Xiao Baobao nodded and immediately shook his head. He nodded again. "What Master said makes sense. In that case, there should be a spy among us. Because no one could kill Luo Que in one move. "
