Chapter 1842: Chapter 1835: Old Fox vs. Young Fox

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Zhengfeng gave a faint smile, planning to sip the tea in front of him. But suddenly, as if remembering something, he placed the cup down and said, looking at Lu Tianxing, ”By the way, Tianxing, I heard Sun Yaoyang gave you trouble last night and ended up getting killed by you?”

”He’s dead. He wanted to kill me, so naturally, I couldn’t let him live.”

Lu Tianxing replied indifferently, ”I’m not sure why Elder Qiu is suddenly asking me about this matter.”

”Mr. Lu, did you also kill the woman by Sun Yaoyang’s side?” Qiu Zhengfeng asked again.

”Woman?”

Lu Tianxing hesitated for a moment and then said, ”Elder Qiu, are you referring to Zhang Yue?”

”Yes.”

Qiu Zhengfeng sighed and said, ”Do not underestimate this woman. Before Sun Yaoyang became the Sun Family Patriarch, although he had some skills, he was just a playboy. But after meeting this woman, Sun Yaoyang gradually became the head of the Sun Family. She even helped the family grow into one of the major families on Qin Island. If you only killed Sun Yaoyang, Tianxing, take my advice: use all your resources to eliminate this woman, or there will be endless troubles.”

Hearing Qiu Zhengfeng’s words, Lu Tianxing furrowed his brows. Indeed, his investigation mentioned a woman named Zhang Yue. However, last night after killing Sun Yaoyang, with the Crying Face Envoy and Smiling Face Envoy appearing, and Cangwu being injured, he had not paid attention to this woman.

Now, upon hearing Qiu Zhengfeng’s words, Lu Tianxing’s brows furrowed deeply. He could tell that Qiu Zhengfeng was not lying. When mentioning Zhang Yue, a hint of fear flashed in Qiu Zhengfeng’s eyes. This fear was genuine and not feigned, showing a real fear of the woman.

Seeing Qiu Zhengfeng’s demeanor, Lu Tianxing had a sudden thought and coldly chuckled to himself. The old fox indeed had a cunning plan. Zhang Yue was certainly a loose end and a tricky one at that. A woman’s revenge is terrifying. But Qiu Zhengfeng wasn’t just warning him about Zhang Yue; he hoped to use Lu Tianxing to kill her and eliminate the threat for good.

After all, while the Qiu Family didn’t directly participate in the Sun Family’s downfall, they were the final straw. It was the Qiu Family that provided information on the Sun Family’s hidden forces. Without exterminating those powers, Sun Yaoyang might not have acted so recklessly.

If Zhang Yue reappears, she would surely seek revenge on all those responsible for killing Sun Yaoyang. Both he and the Qiu Family would be her targets. She might not dare to attack him, but going after the Qiu Family would be almost certain, given how extreme a resentful woman’s revenge can be.

While Qiu Zhengfeng highlighted Zhang Yue’s danger, apart from warning him, he had an ulterior motive: to use Lu Tianxing as a tool to get rid of Zhang Yue.

Lu Tianxing’s eyes glinted slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. ”Elder Qiu, why didn’t you tell me this earlier? If you had, I would have sent someone to find this woman. But now, it’s probably too late.”

Saying this, Lu Tianxing smiled coldly inside: ”Old fox, trying to use me to do your dirty work, words alone won’t suffice.”

Hearing Lu Tianxing, Qiu Zhengfeng’s expression slightly shifted, and he quickly said, ”Is there any trouble you’ve encountered, Tianxing, requiring our family’s help?”

”Sigh, Elder Qiu, you know what happened last night. Ashida Ikeda was seriously injured by Cangwu, his strength has greatly diminished, and he might have escaped back to Japan.”

Lu Tianxing sighed again and said, ”Moreover, you know I killed Ashida Ikeda’s disciple. Now with Ashida retreating to Japan, if he returns for revenge, he certainly won’t spare me. So I must eradicate him, and I fear I won’t stay on Qin Island for a while.”

Listening to Lu Tianxing, Qiu Zhengfeng’s eyes subtly shifted, though his expression carried a hint of regret: ”With the Sun Family gone, a single Zhang Yue shouldn’t pose much threat. But Tianxing, as the saying goes, even a tiger takes a nap. My biggest worry is this woman might lose her mind and target Lingling and Yingrong. After all, you’re Lingling’s father. She might become deranged, wishing to harm your loved ones to make you suffer eternally....”

Before Qiu Zhengfeng could finish, Lu Tianxing interrupted, saying, ”Elder Qiu, rest assured, Lingling and Miss Qiu will be fine. When I leave Qin Island, I’ll arrange for people to protect them.”

Of course, Lu Tianxing didn’t voice the latter part of his thoughts that Lingling and Qiu Yingrong would certainly be safe, but he couldn’t guarantee the same for the Qiu Family.

No way Qiu Zhengfeng could misinterpret Lu Tianxing’s underlying message.

”With your assurance, Mr. Lu, I’m greatly relieved.”

Qiu Zhengfeng exhaled slowly, saying, ”As long as Lingling and Yingrong are safe, I’m at peace.”

Lu Tianxing, hearing Qiu Zhengfeng, eyes gleaming faintly, replied with a light smile, ”Elder Qiu, you needn’t worry. If worst comes to worst, I’ll talk to my grandfather about having Lingling and Miss Qiu relocate. Once they’re in the villa, I doubt anyone would dare to challenge their safety.”

Since we’re playing this game of subtlety, let’s both join in and see who blinks first. If Zhang Yue indeed moves, I’ll be in Japan, and Bai Zhiqing’s group will be at the Eight Great Passes Villa. As for Lin Yafei and Rose, they’re hardly concerns—they’re no easy targets. Challenging them would be akin to courting death.

Listening to Lu Tianxing, Qiu Zhengfeng, unable to maintain his prior calm, wore a subtle wry smile saying, ”Alright! Mr. Lu, you win. What would it take for you to assist the Qiu Family?”

Qiu Zhengfeng sighed quietly.

Before Lu Tianxing arrived, he had meticulously planned everything: speak to Lu Tianxing about Lingling and Qiu Yingrong, then introduce Zhang Yue in the conversation, directing the removal of Zhang Yue through Lu Tianxing.

Ultimately, as Lu Tianxing mentioned earlier, the Qiu Family served as the final straw that broke the camel’s back. They handed over information about the Sun Family’s covert forces to Lu Tianxing, leading to the Sun Family’s ruin, and Sun Yaoyang’s death without a proper burial.

Despite how it might appear, regardless of the Sun Family’s hidden powers, they wouldn’t have been a match for Lu Tianxing. However, the Qiu Family’s involvement intensified matters. When faced with anger, a person might subconsciously associate such events with your influence, regardless of the outcome.

If Zhang Yue carried out her revenge, the Qiu Family might not die, but they wouldn’t escape unscathed either.

Seeing Qiu Zhengfeng’s stance, Lu Tianxing feigned surprise, ”Elder Qiu, what do you mean by that? I’m not entirely sure I understand.”
