Lin Xiaotian looked at the woman, who was heavily made up. She looked quite attractive with her makeup on, and she had a good figure and well-maintained skin, which perfectly suited his master's taste!
Oh no!
Could this woman be his master's old flame?
Besides those very close to him, he wouldn't have the ability to make someone so obedient to him.
"Aunt Hong? Hmph, you're just a traitor to our Feng family, and you dare to call yourself my elder?"
Feng Cong sneered dismissively, then scanned his surroundings and snorted, "I didn't expect you to have secretly gathered so many forces after leaving the Feng family. Could it be that you're planning to oppose my Feng family one day?"
"Heh heh, you think too highly of the Feng family. If I, Shao Hongyun, wanted to deal with your Feng family, it would be as simple as saying the word?"
Shao Hongyun said disdainfully, walking slowly. Her gaze swept over Feng Cong's subordinates, and she asked coldly, "Where did you find so much trash? Do you think they can run rampant in my Langyun Pavilion?"
"Don't be so arrogant. A traitor of the Feng family isn't qualified to comment on my men. All of you, obey my orders, kill anyone you see, and slaughter everyone in this Langyun Pavilion. Leave no one alive."
Feng Cong shouted loudly. The black-clad assassins immediately bared their fangs and began to attack with their knives.
Shao Hongyun's face turned cold, and she immediately ordered, "Kill them! Don't let the Feng family succeed."
Clang clang clang!
In an instant, the red and black forces clashed, and the surrounding spectators were terrified, scattering and seeking shelter.
When Lin Xiaotian saw that some people were harming the crowd, he intervened, fighting his way towards Shao Hongyun and asking curiously, "Pavilion Master Shao, what is your relationship with my master? And what grudge do you have with the Feng family?"
"You little brat, you should call me 'Mistress.' I'm helping you out of kindness, and you're not going to help me quickly? These people are not to be underestimated. My people might not be able to defeat them."
Shao Hongyun addressed Lin Xiaotian directly, making him widen his eyes in surprise!
He had guessed correctly; this woman's relationship with his master was indeed unusual.
Since she was his 'Mistress,' he definitely had to help!
"Heh heh, don't worry, Mistress. These people are like ants in my eyes. I'll take care of them for you."
Lin Xiaotian readily agreed, then pulled a handful of yellow talismans from his body and blew on them. They instantly transformed into a swarm of small black insects that flew into the air.
As these black insects approached the black-clad assassins, they quickly burrowed into their necks when they weren't paying attention.
Suddenly, they felt an intense itch all over their bodies, followed by a loss of control. They couldn't even hold their knives steady. As they reached into their clothes to scratch, the red-clad assassins quickly took advantage of the situation and defeated them all!
Seeing this, Shao Hongyun couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaotian in surprise and say, "Good boy, you've truly inherited your master's teachings. You fight so shamelessly."
"Mistress, what are you saying? This is clearly called being resourceful, how can it be called shameless?" Lin Xiaotian rolled his eyes.
"Yes, yes, your master says the same thing. Now I'm sure that a good soldier makes a good army, and a good general makes a whole troop of them." Shao Hongyun mocked him without restraint.
Lin Xiaotian was speechless!
A few minutes later, all the black-clad men had knives at their throats held by the red-clad assassins, and the fighting stopped.
Shao Hongyun looked at Feng Cong, a brilliant smile on her face, and gradually walked towards him, scrutinizing him. "Young Master Feng, weren't you very arrogant just now? Now that all your men have been defeated by me, how do you feel?"
"Do you still dare to be arrogant in front of me, Shao Hongyun? Do you want to taste the sharpness of this knife in my hand?"
Swish!
As she finished speaking, the blade of Shao Hongyun's knife pointed at Feng Cong's neck.
Feng Cong trembled all over, his eyes darting back and forth. He forced a smile and said, "Aunt Hong, we're family. What are you doing? Put the knife down quickly."
"Who was it that said just now that I was just a traitor to your Feng family and not worthy of being your elder? Why the sudden change of tune?"
Shao Hongyun mocked him, her hand gradually drawing the knife from his face to his neck.
Cold sweat streamed down Feng Cong's face. He forced a smile and said, "Aunt Hong, I was just joking with you earlier. Please don't take it to heart. If I, Feng Cong, have done anything wrong, I beg for your forgiveness."
"From now on, I guarantee to be respectful to you and will never disrespect you again."
"Is that so?"
Shao Hongyun scoffed, raising an eyebrow slightly. "If you want me to let you go, you must pay the price for what you've done today."
"Tell me honestly, who sent you here today? Was it your father, Feng Hu?"
"This..."
Feng Cong hesitated for a moment, not daring to reveal the truth.
Shao Hongyun's expression turned grim, and the blade of her knife pressed a little deeper into his neck, drawing a faint trace of blood. She threatened coldly, "Speak!"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! My father did send me today. He said that Langyun Pavilion is growing more powerful and seriously affecting the Feng family's development, so he specifically sent me to eliminate Langyun Pavilion."
"Of course, and to retrieve that treasure that you stole... no, took away back then." Feng Cong quickly replied.
"As expected, a cunning old fox."
Shao Hongyun had long suspected that Feng Hu, that cunning man, wouldn't simply come to reclaim a treasure.
Since he harbored murderous intent towards her, he would definitely send people to kill her.
It seemed that leaving the old man in the mountains had left her feeling insecure.
She had only been in hiding for so long, and the Feng family had already found her.
Snapping back to reality, Shao Hongyun shouted at him fiercely, "Get lost now and never appear before me again. If you dare to cause trouble here again, I'll take your life."
"Yes, yes..."
Seeing Shao Hongyun withdraw her knife, Feng Cong, terrified, quickly scrambled to his feet and fled with his subordinates.
When the surrounding customers saw the menacing group leave, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shao Hongyun turned back to the crowd, a smile reappearing on her face. She said proudly, "I apologize for the disturbance today. As a token of my sincerity, Shao Hongyun is offering everyone a free stone to cut.
"As long as you can find jade, it's yours."
"Really? Boss Shao is so generous! Everyone, hurry and pick your stones! First come, first served."
"Exactly! This is a rare opportunity. I had my eye on a stone earlier, and I must get it now."
After a burst of excited discussion, everyone rushed to pick rough stones.
Shao Hongyun walked up to Lin Xiaotian and made a gesture of invitation, smiling. "You little brat, stop looking. You've taken advantage of me today, and you don't expect me to go bankrupt, do you? Please come upstairs. I've already brewed the tea."
