“Is it you again?”

In front of the Beast Hall, when Elder Cangxing saw Wen Renmo again, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes.

Xu Hongqiu had instructed him earlier that if this man continued to pester, he could be dealt with harshly. He had already hit him hard last time, but it seemed that it wasn’t enough to drive him away.

“Elder!” Wen Renmo immediately raised his hands and shouted, “I have crucial evidence that can help you solve the case of the Beast Hall!”

“What evidence?” Elder Cangxing’s palm was ready to strike, waiting for Wen Renmo to say something wrong, and he would immediately strike him down.

He was not as kind to everyone as he was to Di Nvfeng.

“It’s definitely important physical evidence, and I want to present it to Miss Xu myself.” Wen Renmo smiled, “Please pass the message.”

Elder Cangxing pondered for a moment, and still ordered his subordinates to inform Xu Hongqiu. A moment later, a message came back inviting Wen Renmo upstairs.

Finally, Wen Renmo got his wish and was able to sit face to face with Xu Hongqiu.

She was annoyed by his persistence. As the daughter of the Whale Gang, she was of high status, beautiful, and powerful. There were countless people like him who wanted to get close to her.

At first, Xu Hongqiu would politely reject them, but she quickly realized that it was useless. Those people would only take her gentleness as encouragement and pester her even more. After she tried to scare them off by being a bit harsher, they seemed to like her even more. Some even begged her to hit them…

Of course, Xu Hongqiu would fulfill such requests, but not by doing it herself, but by letting the angry Elder Cangxing do it.

Looking at Wen Renmo, her face was still as cold as ice, “I heard you have important evidence about the inside story of the Beast Hall?”

“Yes.”

In front of her, Wen Renmo didn’t show much emotion. He just nodded slightly and casually placed the account book he had exchanged for the treasure on the table.

Xu Hongqiu flipped through it, her pupils slightly moved. The things on it could indeed completely solve the case of the Beast Hall. It was not a lie.

After a long while, she looked up at Wen Renmo, “Where did you get this?”

Wen Renmo smiled, “I have a wide circle of friends. One of my friends knew about my feelings for Miss Xu and found it for me.”

“Which friend? How did he get it? Can you tell me more?” Xu Hongqiu asked.

“He didn’t say much about the details, but he’s a friend from Shu Mountain. I guess he got it by chance…” Wen Renmo didn’t finish his sentence when he saw Xu Hongqiu’s face change.

“Chu Liang?” She asked hesitantly.

Because there shouldn’t be many people from Shu Mountain in Glutton City, she naturally thought of that master and disciple.

“Does Miss Xu also know him?” Wen Renmo asked back, feeling that Xu Hongqiu’s reaction was a bit strange, as if there was a story he didn’t know…

“It really is him.” Xu Hongqiu pondered for a moment, her brows suddenly furrowed.

Just now, she was wondering why Chu Liang would send this item through Wen Renmo instead of bringing it out when he first came to her.

This item could immediately put Xu Nanling in a deadly situation!

But soon, she figured it out.

Chu Liang did it on purpose!

If he had brought out this item when he came for revenge, it would indeed expose Xu Nanling’s crimes. In that case, Xu Nanling would have a way to die.

She would definitely not protect him anymore!

In order to give justice to his master and disciple, she might directly kill Xu Nanling. In this way, it would both give them an explanation and clean up the Whale Gang.

But if that were the case, they wouldn’t be able to blackmail…

A guilty Xu Nanling is worthless. An innocent Xu Nanling is someone she must protect, allowing them to blackmail a fifth-level beast.

And then when this matter seems to have passed, they bring out this evidence again. As long as she sees it, Xu Nanling will still die.

Chu Liang’s revenge would still be avenged.

In this way, they essentially blackmailed a fifth-level beast from the Beast Hall for free.

“Chu Liang…”

She muttered this name, feeling a mix of emotions. Although he helped her get rid of the mole and solve the case of the Beast Hall, she couldn’t feel completely happy.

Hearing Xu Hongqiu mention Chu Liang’s name twice in front of him, Wen Renmo blinked and said, “No matter how Brother Chu got it, I also paid a lot to get this account book. The treasure I gave him…”

“What?” Xu Hongqiu was surprised again, “You exchanged this account book with him for a treasure?”

“Yes, there’s no such thing as getting something for nothing…” Wen Renmo said.

Xu Hongqiu had thought that Chu Liang was just sending the evidence over through a familiar person after blackmailing the Beast Hall. So this piece of evidence also got him a treasure in return?

He had a grudge against Xu Nanling, and this item was something he had to hand over to her no matter what. Even this time, he managed to profit.

It was…

Thinking back to the sight of the master and disciple leaving, it now seemed like the figures of a little fox and a big tiger!

The daughter of the Whale Gang clenched her fist, gritted her teeth, and hummed the two words from her nose: “Chu Liang…”

…

“Achoo… Achoo… Achoo!”

Chu Liang sneezed three times in a row, rubbed his nose, looked doubtfully into the distance, and then turned and walked into the gate of the First-Class Sword Hut.

Returning to the Sword Pavilion, Chu Liang didn’t see Di NvFeng, so he went to the front hall to ask Xu Sui, “Brother Xu, where is my master?”

“Senior Di NvFeng…” Xu Sui said with a subtle expression, “She is in the back mountain, having a one-on-one with the Golden Fur Beast.”

“What?”

A one-on-one with the beast.

What was going on?

Chu Liang hurried to the back mountain, but he didn’t catch the battle scene. Instead, he saw a scene of his master being kind to the beast.

He saw Di NvFeng raising her hand, her eyes full of laughter as she called out, “Shake hands, yes, left hand! Come… Sit! Roll over!”

In front of her, a huge body over ten feet tall, covered in golden fur, was rolling around, following her every command. The Golden Fur Beast had bumps all over its head, and its face was full of flattering smiles.

To be honest, it looked quite silly when it smiled.

“Master, what are you doing?” Chu Liang asked as he approached.

“I’m just bonding with it.” Di NvFeng laughed, “The people from the Beast Hall didn’t lie, this little thing is really quite tame.”

“…” Chu Liang grinned.

Recalling how this “little thing” had been gnawing on iron chains earlier, he felt quite disillusioned.

In fact, the people from the Beast Hall hadn’t lied to them.

The “Beast” itself was very close to its owner and family, and it wasn’t fierce towards strangers. Only when dealing with malicious enemies would they unleash a strong desire to fight, their intention was to protect their owner, and they feared nothing.

Di NvFeng’s previous pressure made the Golden Fur Beast mistake her for an enemy, so it showed hostility towards her, which was very unfriendly.

But now…

After Di NvFeng’s previous patient “bonding”, the Golden Fur Beast had recognized her. What enemy? This is my dear master!

If the master wants me to spin, then I must spin for her!

Roar roar roar!

Just as Chu Liang was having a great time with the two beasts in the back mountain, suddenly, a loud explosion came from the direction of the grass hut.

Boom——

A pillar of energy that pierced through the blue sky shot up into the sky, reaching the nine heavens. It startled the world wherever it passed, carrying an unparalleled momentum that seemed within reach.

Sword Qi soaring into the sky!

Chu Liang naturally knew what this represented.

“The sword is complete?!”
