"Seniors, you are too courteous. If it wasn't for you giving me the spot for the pavilion's Dou Conference, perhaps I wouldn't even have such a chance."

Su Xing smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not strong enough right now, and I'm far from being a match for the two families. Su Xing smiled bitterly and said," I'm not strong enough right now, and I'm far from being a match for the two families.

"You're leaving?"

Upon hearing that Su Xing was about to leave, Wu Tao and Sun Yang immediately panicked.

They had long since treated Su Xing as their son-in-law. How could they allow him to leave just like that!

Wu Tao slammed the table angrily and said, "Su Xing, you don't have to worry about your safety at all. We will give you a satisfactory answer regarding the assassination!"

Sun Yang also nodded and said, "That's right. Don't worry. This matter will not end like this. Tomorrow, Old Wu and I will go to County Governor Manor to seek justice for you."

However, Su Xing shook his head and said, "Forget it. They are hired assassins. We have no proof that they are the masterminds!"

"Don't worry, there will be evidence!" Wu Tao said firmly.

"There's really no need. I'll just leave tomorrow. When the time comes, they won't be able to find me …"

"No, you can't leave!" Both of them interrupted Su Xing at the same time, causing him to be slightly dumbfounded.

Su Xing only thought that they were extremely grateful that he had won the Martial Competition. He didn't know that the two of them had already decided to tie Su Xing up here.

Su Xing saw that he couldn't convince the two of them, and had no other choice but to let them go.

At this moment, at County Governor Manor, Luo Jun and Zheng Zhuang were frowning. And in front of them stood a person.

This person held a longsword in one hand and a sharp knife in the other. If Su Xing was here, he would recognize this person at a glance.

"Why isn't your brother here?" Zheng Zhuang asked.

The person holding the sword said, "He can't."

Zheng Zhuang was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Why?"

The person holding the sword said, "Because he is already dead?"

"Dead?" The faces of Zheng Zhuang and Luo Jun changed drastically at the same time. "How did he die?"

"He was killed by Su Xing!" The person holding the sword gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Then how can Su Xing, who is only at the Spirit Realm, kill him?" Zheng Zhuang asked doubtfully.

"He has a lot of tricks up his sleeves, and he has strange beasts on him. If my brother isn't careful, he'll …" The person holding the sword's eyes were filled with grief.

"That means the mission has failed?" Zheng Zhuang asked coldly.

"Yes, but …"

"You failed your mission and you still dare to see me?" The person holding the sword wanted to argue, but was cut off by Zheng Zhuang.

"Why don't I dare to come see you? My brother died because of this mission, and a large part of it was due to unpreparing for the information you gave me. All of you have to take full responsibility!" The man holding the sword shouted.

"What a joke. He died to someone else due to his own lack of skill. Now, we're the ones to blame?"

Zheng Zhuang said coldly, "As an assassin, you should have the awareness to die at any time, instead of arguing with your employers. I chose to look for you guys because of your reputation as brothers of Saber and Sword, but now it seems that you guys are nothing more than this!"

"I'm not blaming you, but if the information you provided wasn't inaccurate, my brother wouldn't have died at all!"

The person holding the sword said, "This time, I only hope that you can give me an explanation."

"You want money?" When Zheng Zhuang heard this, he immediately knew the purpose of this person's visit. He immediately rejected him, "I'm sorry, but don't think about getting a single cent from me."

"You …" The sword in my hand seemed to have unsheathed itself, as my teeth chattered.

"Old Zheng, forget it." At this moment, County Governor Luo Jun opened his mouth and said, "Give him some compensation and let him go. It's not good for anyone if this matter gets out of hand!"

Afraid that Zheng Zhuang would not agree, Luo Jun added, "I will pay for this!"

Seeing that Luo Jun had already said this, Zheng Zhuang was too embarrassed to say anything more.

After the man with the sword left, Zheng Zhuang said in an extremely dissatisfied tone, "If it weren't for the fact that I was afraid of his organization, I would have directly made my move just now!"

"Ai, I can't blame him. He and his brother are famous blade and sword duo. Now that one has died, his future influence will definitely not be light!"

Luo Jun said, "Why do we have to make things difficult for him? If we really make him jump off the wall and expose us, that would be bad."

Zheng Zhuang nodded his head in agreement.

"Sir, there's news!"

Just as the two of them were chatting, a servant ran in. "I've found some news about Su Xing."

"Oh?" The two of them were attracted to each other at the same time.

When the servant told them what he had found out, Luo Jun and Zheng Zhuang also had eyes full of disbelief.

"..."

Early the next morning, Wu Tao and Sun Yang went to County Governor Manor. After Su Xing got up, he rushed over with Wu Yao and Sun Yun.

When Su Xing arrived, two groups of people were facing each other in front of County Governor Manor's entrance.

"Luo Jun, Zheng Zhuang, no one dares to go out of your way. Why, do you dare to not admit to hiring someone to kill the benefactor of Huazhe County?" Wu Tao said.

"Just based on the words of this person's family, you all believe it?" Luo Jun's face was filled with disdain. "What a joke. It's just a big joke. If you randomly find someone and call them witnesses, you'll want to frame me. Wu Tao, aren't you looking down on me too much?"

As Su Xing approached, he noticed that there was a person kneeling on the ground between them. Su Xing also recognized that person. It was one of the two people that had attacked him yesterday.

"You came," Sun Yang smiled at Su Xing and said, "Rest assured, Old Wu and I will definitely give you an explanation."

Su Xing smiled in his heart, but did not express much.

"Luo Jun, stop playing dumb. We've been squatting here all night. This person walked out of your mansion last night. Do you still want to argue here?" Wu Tao questioned him again.

"Hehe, I don't know where you caught this person, but before you frame me, I have to ask you something."

Luo Jun asked, "You said that Su Xing is the benefactor of our Huazhe County. Then, do you know that he is not actually from the Great Zhou?"

The moment he said that, not only Su Xing himself, but everyone present was shocked!

Luo Jun looked at the crowd and saw that each and every one of their eyes were wide open. The confidence in his heart increased by a lot.

"According to my investigations, this Su Xing is from Grand Xia. I suspect that he's a spy sent by Grand Xia to our Grand Zhou specifically!"
