Chapter 1283 Su Su's Secret
Su Su wasn't a ghost or god of Liangjie Tang, yet she resided within it.
According to the rules of the martial world, even if the Six Doors wanted to enter someone's hall to arrest someone, they had to greet the owner first.
This was the most basic respect among martial artists.
Similarly, martial arts sects would choose to persuade the Six Doors' target to leave the sect.
This way, the sect wouldn't be involved in official affairs and wouldn't gain a reputation for fearing the government.
In the end, everyone was concerned about face and reputation.
Mutual respect was beneficial to all; a lack of it, even if not immediately resulting in bloodshed, would create a lasting feud.
If the Reincarnation Department came to demand someone and Liangjie Tang handed them over, they wouldn't be able to survive in the martial world anymore.
Therefore, Feng Ruoxing would never allow the other party to take Su Su away.
However, Feng Ruoxing was also puzzled by Su Su's origins: "Xiao Chengzi, what do you think Su Su's background is? Why would the Reincarnation Department suddenly become interested in her?"
Chen Shuyu said, "When Ling brought her back from Zero, I found it strange. Think about it..."
"How could the prestigious Commander Ling, who shakes the martial world, be easily tricked by a low-level ghost or god?"
"Do you really believe it was just because Ling wasn't prepared?"
"If Su Su was just a confused ghost or god, why did Ling bring her out of the mountains?"
"As the commander of Nan Weiyang, would Ling be the kind of person who casually picks up stray cats and dogs?"
"Also, Ling's methods of managing subordinates are extremely clever. Even when Ling was seriously injured, her subordinates didn't dare to rebel. Moreover, she wasn't even injured."
"Why didn't she go back to gather her subordinates, but instead brought someone to Liangjie Tang?"
After listening to Chen Shuyu, Feng Ruoxing couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you saying that Ling deliberately brought trouble to Liangjie Tang?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Ling and Li Po are life-and-death friends."
Chen Shuyu said, "I'm not saying that Ling deliberately framed Liangjie Tang, but rather that Liangjie Tang may hold the key to solving Su Su's problem."
Feng Ruoxing muttered to herself, "Is that so?"
"No! If Ling really saw through Su Su's secret, she would directly tell Li Po."
"With the friendship between the two of them, as long as Ling opens her mouth, even if it means asking Li Po to climb mountains of knives and plunge into seas of fire, he wouldn't frown."
"Let's not be too suspicious about this matter for now. We'll talk about it when Li Po returns."
While Feng Ruoxing was waiting for our return, Nie Xiaochun had already buried the Reincarnation Department elder horizontally in the cat litter, leaving only his face exposed.
Ye Yang's cat, however, despised the guy immensely, drawing a circle around his face without touching it.
Nie Xiaochun originally wanted to prank the elder, but unexpectedly, when she woke up the next morning, she found that the elder had died, and Nie Xiaochun panicked: "Could he have been suffocated to death! I said, we can't always feed them cat food. Eating cat food makes their droppings too smelly."
Qin Xin looked up and down at the corpse: "Being suffocated by cat feces shouldn't cause his soul to scatter, right?"
Feng Ruoxing walked over quickly, examined the corpse, and said, "It seems that the Reincarnation Department can't hold back anymore. Do they think that killing one of their own elders will give them a legitimate reason to start a war with Liangjie Tang?"
Yun Chang said, "Sister Feng, what should we do? Or should we avoid the limelight first and wait for Li Po to come back?"
Feng Ruoxing said, "Last night, I went to find Su Su. She was locked in a secret room by Black Night Owl, and no one was allowed to approach. Moreover, Black Night Owl and Ling are also inside."
"They should be performing some kind of secret technique. We must not be disturbed by external forces at this time. We can't retreat."
Feng Ruoxing looked at the gate of Liangjie Tang and said, "If we have to fight, then let's fight! Raise the battle flag and fight the Reincarnation Department to the end."
Feng Ruoxing said, "Xiaochun, go to Yuehai Tower and find Jing Henyun. Tell her that Liangjie Tang has taken over her business. Tell her to help us eliminate a part of the Reincarnation Department's forces."
"We don't ask her to kill the enemy, just to get them out of the way."
Feng Ruoxing turned around and returned to the house, constantly sending messages to people. The Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren active near Yang City began to advance towards Yang City in large numbers.
Yun Chang, who had been accompanying Feng Ruoxing, said, "Xiao Chengzi and Xiao Chizi have both sent out hero invitations to invite friends to help. Jun Jixue is also rushing over with the Tiān Shà Sixteen Riders. In three days at most, we can gather a considerable force."
Feng Ruoxing shook her head and said, "Three days? It's too late. The Reincarnation Department won't give us that much time to gather our strength."
Feng Ruoxing sat calmly in her chair, looked at the sky, and said, "Yun Chang, do you know why I've never liked being a commander?"
"That's because I send away many friends after every major battle I command."
"When you send too many people away, your heart becomes numb."
"Sometimes, when I stand in front of those blood-stained corpses, I don't know if I'm sending them away, or they're sending me away."
"I just let them rest in peace, but they send me even further away."
Feng Ruoxing said, "So, later on, I only sent living people, not dead people."
"Yun Chang, you and Xiao Ying take Xiao Kui and leave!"
"Liangjie Tang must leave some seeds behind."
"Don't you think so?"
