Chapter 1067 - Is It Worth It for A Woman? (2/2)
Xiao Yi flicked the cigarette ash and looked at Xiao Feng with his eyes narrowed. “I know your personality. If you weren’t provoked, you wouldn’t have hurt him.”
Xiao Feng lowered his head, feeling more guilty. “I was just afraid that Brother Xiao would leave the a.s.sociation for Mis Xia’s sake.”
Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly and blew out a mouthful of smoke, his outline became hidden in the smoke. “Tomorrow, go with me to look for Ninth Master.”
…
Ninth Master was a respected elder and was also the elder in-charge before.
Xiao Yi found him and told him about wanting to leave the a.s.sociation. Ninth Master, who was in his eighties, could understand his thoughts.
No matter how powerful a person was when he was old, if he could not have a house full of children and grandchildren, it did not make much sense to live.
“Ah Yi, many people covet your position, I admire your courage of not wanting it.” Ninth Master touched his long white beard. “I also had the same thought as you before. But after retiring and having no power in my hands, I lost my family. If the a.s.sociation is not supporting you from behind, how can you live in peace and stability!”
Xiao Feng sat beside Xiao Yi and said cautiously, “Brother Xiao, Ninth Master is right!”
Xiao Yi understood this. But once he had decided, he would not change his mind that easily.
“Ninth Master, I’ve already made up my mind. Is there a way for me and those people to end it in one go?”
Ninth Master was silent for a moment. “Twenty years ago, someone wanted to leave too. In order to draw a line with those people, he followed the rules, but he did not get through it.”
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
“There was a rule in the past. If a person in charge wanted to quit, he had to invite all the in-charges and let them beat him with a stick. If he was still alive at the end, they would go their own ways and have nothing to do with one another again.”
Xiao Yi pursed his lips and did not speak.
Xiao Feng stood up from the chair. “No way, Brother Xiao. In that case, is it even possible to still be alive after that?”
Ninth Master nodded. “Ah Yi, why do you want to gamble your life to give up this seat when you’ve come all this way?”
Xiao Yi looked up at Ninth Master with a firm gaze. “Help me notify them and say that I want to leave. If I die under the beating, I have no complaints and no regrets!”
When Xiao Feng saw that Xiao Yi was so determined, his eyes turned red.
