Chapter 235: "Vicious but Foolish" Bai Kaixin
Chapter 235: "Vicious but Foolish" Bai Kaixin
That voice reached not only Murong Yong but everyone else in the manor.
"It's Li Dazui!"
"It must be Li Dazui, he's Tie Wushuang's son-in-law."
"No wonder Tie Wushuang didn't come to this banquet, he must have gone to take care of Li Dazui's child."
"How bold, to dare threaten the Murong family. Who gave him the courage?"
"It seems that the top ten villains must be gathered. Otherwise, Li Dazui coming alone to the Murong family is just asking for death."
"In that case, I wonder if Tie Wushuang knows of Li Dazui's whereabouts?"
The people in the manor glanced at each other, their doubts lingering in their minds, but there was more left unspoken...
In the place where Tie Wushuang was held, was there any treasure left behind by Li Dazui?
If they used Li Dazui's daughter as a bargaining chip, could they lure him out of hiding?
The muddy-legged man nodded and bowed towards Murong Yong, grinning, and then turned to leave.
Jiang Feng sighed as he looked at the man before him.
While The Sentimental Swordsman and Ruthless Sword had its fair share of obsessives, there were no lunatics. But in the world of The Proud Twins, he felt that there were many more mentally unstable individuals.
The man before him, Bai Kaixin, was a classic example—vicious but acting only to his own detriment.
In contrast, Jiang Feng's own artistic style seemed almost normal.
Jiang Feng frowned involuntarily, for while he enjoyed the drama and gossip, he still retained a basic sense of kindness as an ordinary person. Involving a four or five-year-old girl in this matter was going too far.
Moreover, it wasn't even due to personal hatred but rather a blind pursuit of self-interest.
However, before Jiang Feng could speak, Yao Yue coldly spoke up, "Go back and tell Li Dazui that there's no need to threaten the Murong family. His daughter has been accepted as a disciple by Yihua Palace, so he can rest assured and go all out with the heroes of the martial world."
"What?"
The loafer couldn't help but tremble, and the Murong couple was also shocked, turning to look at Yao Yue, who maintained a calm expression.
Jiang Feng's eyebrows twitched, as he hadn't expected Yao Yue to suddenly interject. With those words, she had effectively drawn a portion of the attention away from the top ten villains.
Why? Jiang Feng's thoughts raced, and he saw the Murong couple glance at him.
Of course, he didn't show any weakness at this moment, so he casually nodded, "Li Dazui's daughter is quite cute and sensible. It's good that she's been sent to Yihua Palace to learn the arts, as a coarse man like Tie Wushuang couldn't have taken proper care of her."
Lian Xing looked at Yao Yue and then at Jiang Feng, feeling that they must have shared some sort of experience without her. She pouted, a little unhappy.
Although Yao Yue's voice wasn't loud, it clearly reached every corner of the manor, causing the previous hubbub to quiet down.
"But she is Li Dazui's daughter," Murong Yong said after a moment's thought.
Jiang Feng nodded, "It's not right to bring harm to one's wife and children. Who would actually want to go after a four or five-year-old girl?"
Murong Yong fell silent.
"However, we cannot turn a blind eye to Li Dazui's actions," Murong Yong frowned and said, glancing at Yao Yue again.
Li Dazui had gone insane, daring to threaten the powerful and influential Murong family. Was it because he thought the Murong family wouldn't dare to touch him because they had elders, the weak, and children among them? But if the Murong family did nothing in response, they might as well leave the martial world altogether.
Not just Li Dazui, but the other villains standing with him were also within the Murong family's range of retaliation.
Yao Yue's expression remained unchanged, as she had already ensured Tie Pinggu's safety. As for Li Dazui's life or death, it was of no concern to her.
"Hello?" The mud-legged man looked at Jiang Feng innocently and shrank back, "I'm just a messenger, I don't know where the Li Dazui you're talking about is either."
The Yi Hua Palace sisters and the Murong Yong couple looked at Jiang Feng, wondering why he was detaining the messenger.
Jiang Feng sized up the mud-legged man before him and couldn't help but admire Bai Kaixin.
Although Bai Kaixin didn't know how to disguise himself, he was a born loafer and was no different from any of the hooligans on the street.
Unless you knew him, no one would suspect that this man, who seemed like an ordinary punk, was actually one of the top ten villains and a member of the purely chaotic evil faction.
But...
Who let me know you? Jiang Feng didn't want to be treated like a fool, nor did he want to be caught between Yao Yue and Lian Xing anymore. Since that was the case, he naturally needed something else to divert his attention.
Since you came to me, don't blame me for putting you to work.
"Li Dazui used to be known for his literary and martial arts prowess. Although he has fallen into villainy, he hasn't gone completely mad."
Jiang Feng smiled, "He's also from the south of the Yangtze River, and he understands the power of the Murong family better than I do. How could he possibly threaten the Murong family out of the blue and publicly reveal that he has a daughter?"
Bai Kaixin blinked, "I don't know either, I'm just a messenger."
The others also realized that this incident was unlikely to have been caused by Li Dazui.
Murong Yong's eyes flashed, and his face turned grim, "Someone wants to use the Murong family to pursue and kill Li Dazui!"
He didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Yao Yue, but the Murong family was a well-known force in the martial world. Anyone who wanted to use the Murong family as a tool would have to pay a hefty price.
"The person was able to disguise themselves as Li Dazui, could it be Tu Jiaojiao?" Murong's wife asked, "Is there infighting among the major villains?"
When people think of Gu Long's martial arts world, they often associate it with poison and disguise, believing that everyone knows how to use poison and change their appearance. However, in reality, both of these skills are extremely difficult to master. It is only because they appear in almost every book that they seem more familiar and common than they actually are.
But if one were to think about it carefully...
In 'The Sentimental Swordsman', the art of disguise was merely legendary, and the only ones who used poison were Huafeng, the Five Poison Boys, Xin Jian, and Lan Huadie.
In 'The Proud Twins', only Tu Jiaojiao knew how to disguise herself, and although poison appeared frequently, the only famous poison expert was the Azure Snake Celestial Master, with the Star-Devourer lurking in the background.
If everyone in the martial world went around disguising themselves and poisoning others, how could ordinary people survive? Even the major sects and martial arts families would struggle to cope!
So when Murong's wife thought of disguise, she immediately thought of Tu Jiaojiao.
Bai Kaixin's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "That's possible. Although the man spoke harshly, he sometimes unnaturally raised his hand in a way that resembled a orchid finger."
Murong's wife smiled triumphantly, thinking that she had guessed correctly. Then she heard Jiang Feng stroking his chin and asking the loafer, "How do you know that Tu Jiaojiao is a woman?"
Bai Kaixin was stunned, "Tu Jiaojiao, isn't that a woman's name?"
Jiang Feng blinked and asked, "But isn't her title ambiguous in terms of gender?"
Bai Kaixin quickly explained, "That's because her disguise skills are profound, and even when she disguises herself as a man..."
He trailed off, unable to continue.
