Chapter 405 – Dont Be A Clown! (2/2)

After saying this, Li Muyang thought to himself that he should leave after the Lu family's grandfather Lu Xingkong's birthday. Otherwise, if s...o...b..ll's ident.i.ty were exposed, would he have the face to cover up the lie he told today?

“Yes. Pet saving its Master is something that happens often. s...o...b..ll is amazing, and powerful——you have to treat it well.”

“Yes. I will.” Li Muyang nodded.

“One of the three wild guests of Still water is dead, killed by thousands of sword strikes.”

“It's not me who did it.” Li Muyang hastily explained. “It's Mu Yubai who killed him. Because only he used a sword, I seldom use a sword. Besides, I had no sword in my hand.”

Lu Qingming cast a glance at Li Muyang, thought he was worried about something, and said consolingly, “even if you killed him it doesn't matter, they were the ones who launched an attack first——”

“I really didn't kill him.” Li Muyang's denial was not as firm this time. If it were not him who killed him, then it was s...o...b..ll. If he did not want others to doubt his ident.i.ty, he had no choice but to let s...o...b..ll take the blame——

Since ancient times, pets had always taken the blame for their owner. When has an owner taken the blame for a pet?

The impressive background of a pet was also a problem.

“It doesn't matter who killed them.” Lu Qingming repeated, patting Li Muyang on the shoulder. “Baili Changhe brought about his own death. Even if you didn't kill him this time, he also wouldn't live well in the future——There is no enmity between the Lu family and the Still water sword school, but they were so ruthless to you. They are pressing us, the Lu family to the extreme.”

Li Muyang agreed. “They are indeed taking it too far. They know about my relations.h.i.+p with the Lu family, yet still wanted to kill me——They really do not give face to Uncle Lu.”

Lu Qingming looked at Li Muyang, whispering, “do you know who is the one behind all this?”

“I don't know.” Li Muyang nodded.

After saying goodbye to Cui Xiaoxin, he suddenly encountered an ambush as he was walking along the main street of Tiandu.

Fortunately, Hong Xiu had arrived in time to help him fight against the powerful enemies, and they finally fend off those black-robed people. In the end, another two guys in white robes came out, and these two people both had a very influential background. It was he Still water sword school's Master Mu Yubai and one of the three wild guests of Still water, Baili Changhe——

It is better to avoid doing something that one is clumsy at to save face than to make a mess of something. It was his first time in Tiandu and there were many things he was still unclear about. Especially the fight between the powerful clans and family.

He simply pretended to know nothing, waiting for Lu Qingming to explain to him.

“Still water sword school is also known as the imperial family's sword school, and the Master of the Still water sword school Mu Yubai is one of the thirteen imperial guests of the imperial family——” Lu Qingming's voice was heavy with grief and indignation. “So, there is only one person who can dispatch the Still water sword school.” “

He pointed a finger skyward, and the meaning was self-evident.

Li Muyang's mood grew heavy. “Even the one above wants to kill me? I am just a n.o.body, why do I deserve him to make such a big fuss?”

“n.o.body?” Lu Qingming gently shook his head, looking at Li Muyang. “You single-handedly destroyed the Monitor Division that he had established for many years, killed his trusted Chief of the Monitoring Division Cui Zhaoren, entered Starry Sky Academy, and defeated the G.o.d of Sword of West wind——How would a person like that be a n.o.body? The whole Kingdom is most likely watching you closely now?”

“Will it bring trouble to Uncle Lu?” Li Muyang said in a worried tone.

He was not afraid of the Cui family; after all, the Lu family could help him contend with the Cui family.

But he feared the West Wind imperial family——Even the Emperor was dissatisfied with him and attempted to get rid of him. How should he fight back?

The power of a clan can be controlled by another clan.

But how could he fight back against the power of a kingdom?

“If a person hates you, even if you smile at him every day, flatter him, and act as a clown to make him happy, it still doesn't help the situation, and instead he will only despise you——On the contrary, if you stand up and fight back, quarrel with him, yell at him, and knock him down, then he will instead pay attention to you and dared not to provoke you easily——Father once said that, to be an upright martial artist, one must not become a flirtatious clown.”

Lu Qingming smiled, fondly gazing at Li Muyang. “The G.o.d of sword of West wind was defeated by your hand. You have become famous from this battle. Now the entire Tiandu is investigating——Li Muyang, what kind of person is he? Now you are the safest.”

“But would the imperial family blame me?”

“Imperial family?” Lu Qingming sneered. “The a.s.sa.s.sination failed, they will only pretend nothing has happened. Just like the last time.”
