Chapter 118 All for Liu Piaopiao (1/2)
After the ordeal at Northern Manor, Su Xiaoxiao now realised that there was a hidden master, who was about her age and was living downstairs.
The apartment below Su Xiaoxiao's unit was rented out some time ago. As Lil Bei was responsible for protecting Su Xiaoxiao every day, he was familiar with the entire neighbourhood. Su Xiaoxiao's neighbour was a retired veteran. His family went to the South for a holiday after the veteran retired. Before Xiao Bing arrived in Jiang City, they had already moved out. A farmer was living below Su Xiaoxiao and had a good son. He just bought them a new apartment, so they wanted to rent this apartment out. Lil Bei took the opportunity to rent it.
Knowing that Lil Bei was living by himself and was her saviour, Su Xiaoxiao let him follow her whenever she left the campus. Lil Bei would always ferry her to and from school. Some of her good friends were curious and asked Su Xiaoxiao about her relationship with the shy handsome boy in private.
At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao was sitting in the room, kneeling by the desk and pursing her lips. Her mind was in a whirl.
Lil Bei was sitting in the room, reading a magazine. Lil Bei would usually leave when Xiaoxiao was about to turn in. Although he appeared rather outgoing, he rarely talked. He always appeared shy especially when Su Xiaoxiao was talking to him. Su Xiaoxiao couldn't comprehend that such a shy boy was a master who had killed many bad guys and protected her that night.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly walked out of the room and looked at Lil Bei, who was reading the magazine. She said, ”Lil Bei, tell me stories about Xiao Bing when he was in the army.”
Lil Bei put down the magazine. When he met Su Xiaoxiao's gaze, his face suddenly became hot. He smiled shyly yet brightly. He said, ”I thought I have told you all about it.” ”
”I want to listen to it now.”
Lil Bei wasn't good at rejecting people. He agreed and said, ”The army has strict regulations. There aren't many stories that I can share with you. What else do you want to hear?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, ”Does Xiao Bing ever had a girlfriend?”
”Er... ” Lil Bei shook his head.
”Does... he ever had a lover?”
This question stumped Lil Bei. He hesitated and didn't answer.
”He must have one... What does his lover do?”
Lil Bei scratched his head and seemed conflicted.
Su Xiaoxiao laughed, ”Rest assured. Everyone has their own past. I just want to know. Just tell me.”
”No... I don't know which lover you are referring to.”
Su Xiaoxiao had no response.
Xiao Bing was hospitalised, but he didn't know that Lil Bei had betrayed him. After hanging up the call, Xiao Bing started thinking. This call could temporarily delay Master Hou. Otherwise, given his current strength and power, it would be difficult to deal with the furious Master Hou.
Without mentioning the rest, Master Hou still had three heavenly kings. The northern region was the smallest out of the four major regions in Jiang City. The other three heavenly kings had thousands of people and an unknown number of masters. Furthermore, Master Hou also had an unknown number of hidden masters.
Xiao Bing suddenly remembered. According to Bao Lei, Master Hou's Four Heavenly Kings were in the transforming strength stage. Xiao Bing had experienced the Peony Fairy's prowess. Although she died in the hands of Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing admittedly won by sheer luck. He didn't know whether the other three kings were stronger or weaker than the Peony Fairy.
Master Hou also had a Black Crow Army. The leader of the Black Crow Army, Qin San, who was nicknamed 'Black Crow', was in the transforming strength stage.
He was inferior to Master Hou's Miyamoto Shinji, who was the most mysterious master from R country. According to the Bao Lei, the strength of Miyamoto Shinji was unfathomable and even he couldn't fathom Miyamoto Shinji's power.
Bao Lei was also in the transforming strength stage. If he was unable to fathom the person's power, the person must be extremely strong.
There were so many cities in the whole of H Province. There were less than ten known masters who were in the transforming strength stage. Master Hou had five of them. Although the Peony Fairy was dead, he still had four strong masters, who were in the transforming strength stage. Hence, Xiao Bing had to first appease Master Hou.
Damn it. First was Xie Lun. Then was the Peony Fairy. Now I have to deal with Master Hou. He should be my last adversary.
Different situations call for different actions. Xiao Bing grasped Master Hou's character. As Master Hou was now seeking for talents, he wanted to use this opportunity to delay Master Hou. He could then slowly find a good strategy.
While Xiao Bing was in distress, Ye Tianming had already told Ye Bancheng about Xiao Bing, who almost met with a car accident after leaving Northern Manor. The reason why Xiao Bing told Ye Tianming was to let him know that Ye Xinyi was about to fall out with him. Hence, he couldn't be careless.
Apart from the accident, Ye Tianming told Ye Bancheng about his first encounter with Xiao Bing and the assassination.
Ye Bancheng's mouth twitched. He spoke with difficulty. He said, ”What, what do you mean... You mean, it's all... your... elder sister's... doing?”
Ye Tianming didn't say anything. Ye Bancheng was a smart person. Even though he couldn't get out of bed now and perhaps his thinking was slower than the average person, Ye Bancheng could still understand.
