“Hey, your brain isn’t fried right?” Tang Tian whispered to Ling Xu’s ears, carefully saying: “If you have a falling out with him, what happens to your salary? No one will give you money, what will you eat in the future?”

Ling Xu hugged onto his silver spear and looked at Tang Tian once, and muffled: “What does it concern you?”

“I am thinking for you, it is hard to find work at this period of time!” Tang Tian chided like a granny, and with a bossy tone he said: “You are still young, with little or no experience, to face the cruelty of the real world, you’re not exposed enough….”

Ling Xu angrily scolded: “Shut up!”

On a dime, Tang Tian felt embarrassed. He was slightly guilty. He would never have had the intention to instigate. He felt bad for causing someone to lose his job.

Ling Xu hugged his spear as he sat down looking depressed and unfriendly as though he were a volcano ready to erupt anytime.

Tang Tian’s instincts for danger were super agile and sensitive. He knew for sure he must not offend this rascal now!

It was better not to annoy him…

Tang Tian went over to Gu Xue quietly. A moment later, he could no longer take it: “Don’t you think it’s a little too reckless?”

With that, Ling Xu exploded. He jumped up and pointed the silverish red tasseled spear pole at Tang Tian and shouted: “Come on! You son of a bitch! I want to teach you a lesson!”

Such a strong killing qi.

Tang Tian’s smile was a bit stiff. He shrugged his hands and gave him a ‘you-should-not-mind-it’ look and laughed: “Hahahah, I’m just asking casually. Really just asking. If you don’t feel like talking, I won’t ask…”

It was as if his butt had taken roots in the ground. He remained seated.

Ling Xu was stunned. But in the next moment, he rushed to the front of Tang Tian like a fierce tiger and roared so loudly his saliva was spat on Tang Tian’s face: “How could you be like this? How could you! Son of a bitch, do you really only know those wretched and despicable methods? Come and fight me just and honourably…”

Tang Tian raised his head, but he had no intention of standing up. With an expected face: “Qian Hui once mentioned to me not to fight with a man who had just lost his job. I think she is right.”

Ling Xu froze.

Gu Xue was shocked with what she was witnessing. Not just her, even Mu Lei’s mouth was not once closed. The scene right in front of them baffled them.

She started studying Ling Xu seriously for the first time.

Ling Xu’s was tall, but he was slightly slimmer than Tang Tian. His hair was ocean blue, a very rare sight. He had a pair of orange coloured eyes. It was as if they were burning.

She had heard Ling Xu’s name more than once. Ling Xu had not followed the Great Clan Elder for long. He appeared just two years ago, but within those two years, he became known as the strongest martial artist on Humble Forest Planet.

Suddenly, Gu Xue remembered that Ling Xu had a nickname.

Fiery Ling Xu.

This formidable martial artist possessed a hot temper. Rumours said that he bore grudges and seeked revenge. If he did not get along with one person, he would definitely pick up a fight

But… Ling Xu actually turned into a traitor…

Why?

All of a sudden, an old, stern voice rang: “Ling Xu, you’re leaving me?”

The Great Clan Elder appeared. He stared at Ling Xu with fuming anger.

The frozen Ling Xu returned back to his usual self. He hugged onto his silverish red tasseled spear pole, sat down on his butt and said depressingly: “That’s right.”

The whole place fell silent. The way Ling Xu admitted so openly, brought a huge impact to everyone. For the past two years, Ling Xu had obtained a high position in the Gu Clan through his performance.

To any clan, when an expert leaves, they might be in danger. And because of that, the Great Clan Elder’s position might fall into a bottomless pit.

Tang Tian’s mouth formed an ‘O’ as he looked at Ling Xu in shock. This rascal actually… actually was for real…

From the corner of his eyes, he saw Tang Tian’s expression. Instantly, Ling Xu’s expression turned better.

“Why?” the Great Clan Elder’s voice shook.

“Why?” Ling Xu was taken aback. He tilted his head and thought about it: “I’m not happy. If I’m not happy about staying, then I should leave.”

“Unhappy?” the Great Clan Elder’s voice stabilised. He thought back. Usually, he did not coax Ling Xu enough. He tried to make his voice as sincere as possible: “I did not take good care of you. I hope you’ll give me a chance to make up for it. Whatever you want, whatever ambition you have, I’ll support you. The Gu Clan will support you in everything. Money, spirit general cards, treasures, blood meridians. Whatever you name it, we’ll give it to you.”

The Great Clan Elder pledged. He noticed his own mistake and settled it with decisiveness, without beating around the bush. Several people applauded Great Clan Elder’s performance secretly. Who could have such great humility to realise their own mistakes and apologise for them right away. He was flamboyant with his actions. Indeed, he was an efficient and unscrupulous man.

Ling Xu shook his head and said depressingly: “I don’t like picking on smaller people. I’m sick and tired of this life. My mentor once told me that as martial artists, we should fight with honour and empathy. I could never attain my mentor’s standards, but I don’t want to fall deeper. So, this is it! Whatever I have done for you was enough for all the star coins you paid me.”

Not knowing why, when Ling Xu finished speaking, he was so relieved. He was finally ending this muddleheaded life!

The Great Clan Elder’s anger turned into laughter: “Ling Xu, are you still a kid? How can you say such naive words. You disappoint me. Where did the money come from to pay for your cultivation? Where did you spirit general cards came from? What about your treasures? From the sky? Now, you’re saying the things I did were not honourable? Ha!”

“My mentor also once said, those that can make you reach your peak are not the rare spirit general cards nor the star coins. But faith and perseverance!”

“All of you killed her parents for money and to gain benefits. That’s your business, I can’t be bothered. But you rack your brains to abduct a girl who had just lost their parents to be your reproductive system so she could bear generations of Snow Rainbow Blood Meridians.” Ling Xu’s blood orange eyes were blazing. He pointed to Tang Tian with his spear and shouted: “Even this bastard knew what to do!”

Tang Tian had just regained his expression, instantly, it froze again. You were complimenting me… or were you complimenting me?

Ling Xu only felt as if something was spewing out from his chest. He felt strength he never once felt. Even if he was facing death, he would not be frowning.

In a split second, he was enlightened. Yup! That was it, he must never lose his faith!

His own faith! What he liked! It was his fundamental mental state!

Ling Xu looked at the Great Clan Elder and enunciated: “I’m very sorry. I’m going to be myself.”

Tang Tian sat on the side with an ignorant face. He was muttering: I did not do anything… this rascal’s pay must not be too high…

Ling Xu suddenly walked towards the Great Clan Elder.

The Great Clan Elder’s expression changed. He retreated quickly. In a moment of panic, he shouted: “Ling Xu, are you trying to make a move on me?”

Ling Xu did not bother. He walked another 7-8 steps before he stopped and stabbed his spear deep into the limestone ground. With a slap, a deep straight line was formed under his feet extending all the way to the other end.

“Anyone who passes this line will be killed!”

Ling Xu’s icy cold words fell as he scanned through the crowds. Everyone shivered.

Without saying another word, he turned and walked near to Tang Tian before he sat down hugging his spear.

The Great Clan Elder’s face turned red and green, but he remained silent. He knew Ling Xu’s temper very well. If this rascal wanted to do something, no one could stop him.

But, if he thought no one could handle him, then he was wrong…

The Great Clan Elder wanted to kill him. If he did not repent for his mistakes, what he had nurtured as his root for more than ten years would fall like an avalanche. He would not be able to accept that.

The streets were once again calm and peaceful.

Ling Xu’s ferocious reputation was not something Tang Tian could imitate. The head of Devil King Ling, no one dared to touch.

The four sat in a circle, all speechless.

Gu Xue hesitated for a moment before she said lightly: “Thank you!”

Ling Xu did not bat his eyes. Hugging his spear, he said: “Don’t thank me. I’m doing it for myself.”

Half understanding, Gu Xue said: “But I still have to thank you.”

Ling Xu did not say a word. He peeped at Tang Tian to see Tang Tian displaying a face that he wanted to say something. He asked: “If you have anything to say, just say it!”

Tang Tian was happy: “Then I’ll be direct!”

“Say it.” Ling Xu said gloomy.

“Were you enlightened by me? Oh, is it that you discovered your conscience?” Tang Tian eyes lit up: “It must be! It has to be! Indeed, I’m a godlike young lad! Wahaha, I’m such a pro…”

Ka ka ka!

Ling Xu turned his neck like a robot. His blue hair stood in anger, his face painted with anger. His orange pair of eyes was set ablaze. His face sunk and turned dark as if there were dense gray clouds with lightning.

“Son of a bitch! I’ll kill you!”

Ling Xu pounced onto Tang Tian like a predator pouncing on prey.

Gu Xue and Mu Lei looked upon as the battle was about to start!

The two looked at one another. They felt that no matter what, they would never be able to understand what the two of them were thinking.

After the battle, the two were disfigured. They stared at each other without backing down.

“I’m your boss. How dare you make a move on your boss? You’re offending your superior!” Tang Tian burst out.

“For justice. A bastard like you needs to be taught a lesson!” Ling Xu refuted.

“Justice? What about empathy?” Tang Tian stared at him angrily.

“What has empathy got to do with you?” Ling Xu looked amused.

“Ah!” Tang Tian screamed and fell face flat on the ground. His body spasmed occasionally. He looked as if he was in pain.

“Empathy… empathy…” Tang Tian twirled on the ground as if he were having cramps. The delicate screams of Tang Tian travelled to Ling Xu’s ears

Ling Xu was stupefied. Shortly, he bellowed: “Do you take me for an idiot!”

This bastard, so ridiculous! He has no courage! What was infuriating was… do you think I had no IQ?

“Aye, this idiot didn’t take the bait? Weird…”

Tang Tian mutters emerged from behind. Ling Xu almost fell for it.
