Lu Chengwen had just led his people out through the side door when he saw Mo Haiping sitting in a chair.
He sat with his head lowered, fiddling with a bead bracelet, while a group of people stood beside him.
Lu Chengwen tore off his mask. "Uncle Haiping?!"
Mo Haiping smiled faintly. "Cheng Wen, long time no see."
Lu Chengwen was overjoyed. "What are you doing here?"
He had just started toward him when a longsword flashed toward his throat.
Feng Xianzi yanked Lu Chengwen aside, while Long Aotian knocked the sword away with his saber and stepped in front of him.
Long Aotian's face darkened. "What are you trying to do?"
Mo Haiping frowned deeply. "That person... she's from Sky Net, isn't she?"
Lu Chengwen touched his neck. "You really wanted to kill me?! Why?! Just because of some bullshit from the Elder Council?!"
Mo Haiping sighed. "CEO Lu, there's no helping it. This is the martial world."
Long Aotian snorted. "The martial world I know values loyalty and righteousness. What are you supposed to be, showing up dressed like this and attacking without warning?"
Mo Haiping smiled.
"Nothing at all. It's just... once your strength reaches a certain level, you don't need to explain anything you do."
Mo Haiping stood and turned around.
"Kill them. Take the woman alive."
Everyone rushed forward at once.
Lu Chengwen roared, "Mo Haiping! I did your Mo Family a favor, and this is how you repay me?!"
Mo Haiping played with his bracelet without looking back. "You're a threat to the martial world. Sorry. Down in the underworld... don't hold it against me."
Lu Chengwen roared, "Mo Haiping! You ungrateful bastard!"
Mo Haiping idly picked at his ear. "What a lovely moon tonight! Such a beautiful night is perfect for killing."
