Chapter 96 Master 6 (1/2)

Chapter 96 Master (6)

”It's a pity that the most powerful person is dead. He can prove that Wei Baoheng asked people to murder me.” Li Ye returned to the shore, touched his chin and looked at the corpse in front of him, feeling regrettable.

The corpse was Chen Jianghe. When he fell to the river, Li Ye salvaged him so that he hadn't been washed away by the river. Chen Jianghe had died, which was a loss to Li Ye. But at that time he was in a fierce battle and could not think about too much.

However, the corpse was also useful. After all, Chen Jianghe was Wei Baoheng's one of the important masters and many people had seen him. So Wei Baoheng couldn't deny. Moreover, Wang Li and others also seized several attackers. With their confession, the evidence was enough.

As Li Ye had expected, Wei Baoheng made a mistake. And Li Ye caught the other's mistake.

Some officials died and were injured, but it was not serious. Those who could fight with the attackers on the river were masters of Chang'an Office. The number of them was small. The officials who were under Qi-refining Stage had stayed on the shore all the time. Now, they were surrounding Li Ye, holding torches.

The cultivators of Black Office didn't show up. The situation had been basically controlled. So the Black Office didn't need to appear in case its identity would be revealed. Liu Zhiyan and the Ugly Man were taken into custody, so were the members of Changhe Gang.

These people were actually very pitiful. The fierce battle on the river was far beyond their expectations. They had never seen such cultivation methods as Chen Jianghe's Thousands of Arrows Formation and Four Water Dragons. There were shocked at that time. Even now they still were in a panic, and some people were still shaking.

Liu Zhiyan and the Ugly Man were also tied. Li Ye came to Liu Zhiyan and scrutinized her for a moment.

Her appearance was not amazing. She had small facial features, soft outline, slightly thin red lips, and big, bright eyes. She looked like a gentle woman, arousing pity.

In her early twenties, she had reached Qi-refining Stage. It could be said she was in her prime. But now she was a prisoner. Naturally, she neither was spirited nor piteous. Inconspicuous stubbornness was on her face and her gaze was sorrowful.

Such a kind of face was actually more pitiful than a crying face.

”You're the Big Master?” Li Ye squatted in front of Liu Zhiyan.

Liu Zhiyan bit her lower lip. ”I'm the Big Master of Changhe Gang.”

Li Ye looked at her. ”My feeling tells me that you have the courage to accept defeat.”

Liu Zhiyan said, ”Winner takes all.”

Li Ye nodded. ”But from your eyes, I see unwillingness.”

Liu Zhiyan felt sad. ”I haven't avenged my father. I'm unwilling to die.”

Li Ye was slightly moved, but his look didn't change. ”In this case, why don't you have hatred?”

Liu Zhiyan bowed her head and silenced for a long time. She never sighed, but everyone could feel her the inner sorrow as if this young woman was full of sadness.

After a while, she said, ”Sometimes we are involuntarily in Jianghu. Life is full of disappointments. Fate is so, why should I be resentful?”

Hearing this, Li Ye could not help but admire her. He asked, ”You are not afraid of death?”

Liu Zhiyan shook her head. ”Everyone is afraid of death.”

When she said this, regret could be heard from her voice. It seemed that she had shown that death was terrible, but it was more terrible when things needed to be done haven't been finished.

However, she did not think it was meaningful to say this.

Song Jiao came over and whispered in Li Ye's ear. Then Li Ye nodded.

He told Liu Zhiyan, ”I can help you and the Changhe Gang survive.”

”This is impossible!” Liu Zhiyan suddenly widened her eyes.

Li Ye smiled and said, ”You should know that there are few impossible things in the world. The reason why some people think that it is impossible is that those things are beyond their ability.”

Liu Zhiyan stared at Li Ye and asked, ”Who the hell are you?”

Li Ye answered, ”I'm the Prince An of Tang Empire and the Vice Magistrate of Chang'an Office.”

Liu Zhiyan was stunned.

And Ugly Man was stunned too.

Maybe they didn't expect that the person who was lured by them had such an identity.

The position of both the Grand Prince and Four-class Official was so high that the Changhe Gang seldom think about. They only thought about being the first gang of Wei River.

”What they promised to give you, I can give you too. Except that, I can give you a chance to mend for the crime of looting of dock warehouse by good deeds. You can think about it.” After saying that, Li Ye deeply looked at Liu Zhiyan who was still in shock, and stood up and left to check the casualties of those officials.

Song Jiao followed him.

”My instinct tells me that you don't want to kill this woman.” Song Jiao looked at Li Ye and couldn't help but giggled. ”Perhaps, this woman makes you feel excited.”

Li Ye was calm. ”I don't like to kill people. As for the excitement... There are many kinds of excitement in the world. Which one do you mean?”

”Well, what kind is your excitement?” Song Jiao covered her smile, but watery eyes full of smile.

Li Ye bowed his head, silenced for a moment and said, ”We have the same hatred.”

Song Jiao's smile froze.

She certainly understood Li Ye's meaning.

Both of them hadn't avenged their fathers.

There was no sorrow or change on Li Ye's face.

Looking at this calm face, Song Jiao felt sad. She knew very well how difficult it was to keep calm and not exposed weakness when faced great misery.

It also needed stubbornness.
