Ye Fan could be considered to have become famous in one battle today, but this was not a good thing for Liu Zhengfeng. Especially since the people from Mount Song Sect had not appeared yet, it made him feel uneasy.
He thought to himself that it was better to end this quickly and then immediately leave with the Qu Yang brothers to retire from the martial world to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
With this thought in mind, Liu Zhengfeng walked out again.
"Everyone, there was an accident. It's because I didn't entertain you well. The ceremony will continue now. Bring the golden basin."
Then, two disciples of Mount Heng Sect carried a copper basin filled with clear water and placed it on the stool behind Liu Zhengfeng.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door."
"The imperial edict has arrived! Liu Zhengfeng, accept the decree!"
Then, a person walked in. He was wearing a long white robe. His lips were red and his teeth were white. He had a handsome face and looked to be in his twenties.
The man walked in with the imperial edict in his hand. He glanced around and then said to Liu Zhengfeng,
"Liu Zhengfeng, receive the decree!"
Liu Zhengfeng knelt down.
"This commoner receives the decree!"
This scene caused the surrounding people to frown. At the same time, they secretly sighed in their hearts. It seemed that Liu Zhengfeng really planned to retire. Otherwise, he would never have come into contact with the imperial court.
The man in white had already unfolded the imperial edict.
"Today, Liu Zhengfeng of Hengyang has donated 200,000 taels of silver to the people of Hengyang. To show his merit, the Imperial Court has specially bestowed Liu Zhengfeng with the title of guerrilla general.”
"I, Liu Zhengfeng, thank you for your kindness."
Then, Liu Zhengfeng took the imperial edict and handed over a stack of silver notes.
The man didn't take it but cupped his fists and said,"
"I'm Shangguan Hai Tang from the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa. Greetings, Sect Leader Liu."
The moment Shangguan Haitang's name was mentioned, everyone's expression changed.
The top three secret agents of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa were Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and Shangguan Haitang. They were said to be the right-hand men of the Iron Gut Divine Marquis. Although they were from the imperial court, they were well-known in Jianghu.
Unexpectedly, this person today was actually the number one Black secret agent, the master of the world's number one manor, Shangguan Hai Tang.
Liu Zhengfeng was also stunned. He had only donated an idle official to bid farewell to the martial world. He did not expect to alarm the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa. He could not help but feel uneasy.
Could it be that he left the martial world and entered the court to fight?
He thought to himself, but he said,
So it's Manor Lord Shangguan. If you don't mind, please sit down and watch the ceremony."
Shangguan Hai Tang did not refuse. Moreover, she did not put on airs and directly walked to the end of the seat and sat down. It happened to be beside Ye Fan.
This scene made the sect leaders present look sideways. These two at the end were not to be trifled with.
After Liu Zhengfeng received the edict, he said,
" Everyone, senior brothers and sisters, junior brothers and sisters, from today onwards, there will be no sect leader of Mount Heng, Liu Zhengfeng, in the pugilistic world. There will only be a commoner, Liu Zhengfeng."
With that, he turned around and was about to put his hand into the golden basin when a loud shout came from the door,
"Junior Brother Liu, stop!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a man took the lead, followed by more than 20 people who rushed over with great strides. They were holding a flag in their hands. Although the flag was not big, it was inlaid with gold and jade. It was dazzling.
Gao Yanan knew that Ye Fan did not know her, so she said softly,
"This is Fei Bin, one of the Thirteen Gangsters of Mount Song. He is holding the flag of the Five Mountains.
Mount Song Sect's Zuo Lengchan is quite ambitious. He has always wanted to merge the five mountains into one and become a large sect on par with Shaolin and Wudang. I'm afraid today's Golden Basin Washing Hands Assembly won't be so smooth.
Ye Fan said,
"Senior Sister, I don't have a good impression of this Five Mountain Sword Sect at all. Righteous sects are not like righteous sects. Other than the people of Mount Heng, everyone is scheming against each other.
"This Mount Song Sect is even more pretentious. They haven't even become a large sect yet, but they're already showing off the dignity of a large sect. With such a demeanor, they're destined to not go far."
Ye Fan's contempt surprised Shangguan Haitang, who was beside him, because Ye Fan's evaluation was actually the same as her foster father's evaluation of the Five Mountain Sword Sect.
He could not help but remember Ye Fan in his heart. He thought to himself that he had to investigate Ye Fan's identity when he went back.
Fei Bin shouted,
"Junior Brother Liu, on the orders of Alliance Master Zuo, please delay your retirement."
Liu Zhengfeng said,
" This one's retirement is a private matter. I don't need Alliance Master Zuo's orders for this matter."
After saying that, he didn't care and was about to put his hand into the water. However, he didn't expect Fei Bin to throw a dart and knock over the golden basin.
"You!"
No matter how good-tempered Liu Zhengfeng was, he was furious at this moment.
"Senior brother Fei, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm going to make sure that I get it even in front of Alliance Master Zuo!”
Fei Bin was fearless and said to Liu Zhengfeng,
" Of course there is an explanation. Junior Brother Liu, please come with me to Mount Song. At that time, Alliance Master Zuo will naturally give Junior Brother Liu an explanation."
Liu Zhengfeng said,
"Impossible. Today is the day I retire and I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see Alliance Master Zuo again in the future. Senior Brother Fei, please go back. Someone, bring me another basin of water."
Fei Bin said,
"I'm afraid it's not up to you!"
With that, dozens of people appeared around the Liu Residence. Each of them held a bow and arrow in their hands, and the arrow was pointed at the small courtyard.
Liu Zhengfeng wasn't the only one who was furious. The other sect leaders also slammed the table and stood up. The hot-tempered Abbess Dingyi directly questioned,
"Senior Brother Fei, what do you mean by this? Don't tell me Alliance Master Zuo is going to kill us today?”
Fei Bin said,
"Junior Martial Sister Dingyi, please don't misunderstand. I was forced to do this today.
Alliance Master Zuo has received a secret report that someone from our Five Mountain Sword Sect is colluding with the Demonic Sect!”
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed. Liu Zhengfeng's body trembled and he almost lost his balance.
Then, Fei Bin pointed the spearhead at Liu Zhengfeng.
"May I ask if Junior Brother Liu knows Qu Yang, one of the ten great elders of the Demon Cult?”
Liu Zhengfeng's face was filled with sorrow. He looked left and right and realized that everyone else was also looking at him. He hesitated for a moment and said resolutely,
" That's right, Big Brother Qu and I are best friends, but we only became friends because we both like music. We definitely didn't do anything to betray the righteous path."
The moment these words were said, everyone present was shocked!
Ye Fan shook his head and said,
"How pedantic!"
Gao Yanan said,"
"Do you want him to deny it?"
Ye Fan said matter-of-factly,
"Of course I denied it. Wouldn't I be putting myself on the chopping block and waiting to be slaughtered?”
Gao Yanan said,"
"What if it was you?"
"Me?"
Ye Fan smiled and said,
"If it were me, even if I befriended Invincible East, I would never let anyone have the guts to question me!”
Gao Yanan rolled her eyes at Ye Fan and stopped talking.
