Neither Victory nor Defeat

Something terrible had happened?

Chu Qing was stunned.

These past few days, the vast Shi State City had been calm and peaceful.

Whether the noble Lineages or King Shiyu, none of them had stirred up trouble.

Even the Red Copper Golden Toad in the moat had stopped causing trouble.

Chu Qing's little life had been quite peaceful.

What major matter could there be?

Hua Yu did not beat around the bush and quickly said, "People from Loulan City, the Gongyang Family, the Luo Family, and the Xu Family have all come."

"It even seems that people from Loulan Martial Academy are looking for you!"

Chu Qing fell silent.

His first thought was that something had happened to Daughter of Stonemason Xu.

But immediately afterward, he realized:

Daughter of Stonemason Xu should not be the problem.

The problem was someone in the state city—or rather, certain people.

Back when he had intercepted the Xu Family's wedding procession, traitors had appeared within their ranks.

At the time, he had been too lazy to hunt down the traitors. Then, using Luo Sheng's hands, he had killed that group of Third Limit experts.

He had not investigated whom those traitors had been in contact with.

Now, news of him had leaked out.

He suspected that the people behind those traitors had informed the people of Loulan City.

Three top Lineages and a Martial Academy from the main city.

These people... were truly extraordinary... terrifying.

Chu Qing smiled and comforted Hua Yu. "If I can kill Luo Sheng, I can kill others too. The main city's experts have not exceeded my expectations. They are still not strong enough."

Hua Yu was bewildered.

The people from the main city were not strong enough?

Was that a joke?

At this moment:

Spring thunder rumbled.

The spring rain
