Only Because I Looked at You One Time Too Few in the Crowd

Xiao Feng couldn't continue speaking after that point.

Yes, he forgot.

Bai Shijing's incorruptibility may just be a facade.

He could kill Ma Dayuan for the sake of a woman, so where is his former image of fairness and justice?

It seems only natural that he doesn't value brotherhood.

But Xiao Feng still didn't understand why Bai Shijing wanted to harm him.

Even if Bai Shijing didn't take their sworn brotherhood seriously, he had no reason to frame him.

I have always treated Bai Shijing with great respect and courtesy, and have never offended him, nor have we had any conflict of interest.

Could it be that...

"Could it be that the Elder of Law Enforcement also wants to take the position of gang leader?"

Xiao Feng frowned, feeling increasingly disgusted by this power struggle.

Bai Shijing huddled awkwardly on the ground.

He was breathing with difficulty.

From the time the Bone-anchoring Needle flared up until the time of our conversation, Quan Guanqing was interrogated.

This period of time allowed him to temporarily escape from the pain and regain some of his senses.

Out of the corner of his eye, Bai Shijing saw Quan Guanqing curled up on the ground beside him, convulsing, veins bulging, and his face contorted in a ferocious expression. He couldn't help but shiver a few times.

He was terrified; the pain that shot through his bones was something he never wanted to experience again in his life.

He felt the contemptuous looks from the Beggar Gang's Sect members who had once treated him with utmost respect.

Bai Shijing felt deeply ashamed and indignant, and he had many regrets.

Now that his wisdom has been completely lost, he may even lose his life. He has truly lost face.

However, his regret wasn't a sudden repentance on the verge of death. It was simply remorse for having already fallen into the clutches of the law.

Bai Shijing wept uncontrollably.

"Brother, brother, I'm so sorry."

As Xiao Feng questioned, he had no conflict with Bai Shijing. And Bai Shijing didn't actually have much ambition for the position of gang leader. Yet, he still chose to frame his sworn brother.

He only apologized to Xiao Feng, without Ma Dayuan.

After all, everyone knows that he has wronged Ma Dayuan.

And it's easy to guess why he had this conflict with Ma Dayuan. It was nothing more than lust.

In order to entangle themselves with Kang Min, the adulterous couple worked together and killed their deputy gang leader.

Furthermore, because of the rumors circulating in the martial arts world about Ke Baisui, the story was fabricated to be the work of the Murong Family.

However, while they were forging the Murong Family's handwriting, they also stole Xiao Feng's folding fan.

"Brother, I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't mean to hurt you at all. It's all that bitch's fault, it's all that bitch's fault! She hates you to the core!"

Bai Shijing also turned his attention to Kang Min.

That's really strange.

Whether it was the members of the Beggar Gang' Sect, or Zhao Qiansun, the Iron-faced Judge, and others, they all looked puzzled.

"Could it be that this woman has a grudge against the gang leader? We've never heard of her before."

Elder Xi scratched his head in confusion.

Xiao Feng finally gave a proper look to Madam Ma, who had been thrown to the ground and was somewhat disheveled, but still tried her best to maintain her composure, appearing quite beautiful and charming.

"Madam Ma, what grudge do I have against you?"

Kang Min glared fiercely at Xiao Feng.

He finally looked at me properly!

"There is hatred, a blood feud!"

"I don't know your parents' names, but even if they died at my hands, I would feel no remorse. I have always been upright and honest, and I would never kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Xiao Feng spoke with righteous indignation.

Kang Min hated him even more.

Her slender, white fingers gripped the soil tightly, and she gasped for breath in anger.

She sat half-fallen on the ground, her slender waist swaying, her heaving chest rising and falling.

Some of the younger Beggar Gang disciples blushed as they watched.

Even though she was embarrassed, she still couldn't bear to look away.

Even the highly respected person who came to testify looked away shyly, but couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

Many people could now understand Bai Shijing's feelings.

No wonder Bai Shijing was willing to kill Ma Dayuan for this person.

Kang Min was still angry, but when she saw everyone glancing at her, she raised her snow-white chin and gave them a disdainful look.

He was quite pleased with himself.

But there are also many who dislike it.

Do these people even deserve to look at themselves?

But when she turned her head again, she looked at Xiao Feng.

She remained unmoved, her eyes fixed on him as if she were blind, showing no emotion whatsoever.

The anger that had just subsided suddenly surged back.

"You beastly scoundrel, you orphaned Khitan barbarian! What are you anyway? And now you're still putting on airs of a righteous hero! Bah!"

Madam Ma started cursing loudly.

A'Zhu suddenly chimed in.

She shouted angrily.

"What kind of slut are you? You colluded with your lover to kill your own husband, and then framed Chief Qiao. What right do you have to insult others! Chief Qiao is upright and honorable. Even though your parents died at his hands, judging from your character, your parents must have committed many evils and deserved to die!"

Sitting on the ground, the beautiful Kang Min in white robes possessed a delicate yet unruly air. Her mourning attire added to her charm. Despite her unruly demeanor, she still captivated the men's gaze.

The woman in red who stepped forward was also beautiful, articulate, and had a lively, spirited air. With her oval face and bright, expressive eyes, she was quite charming and had an endearing presence.

But the more Kang Min saw people like that, the angrier he became.

He then started cursing at A'Zhu.

"And where did you come from, you wild hussy? What business is it of yours to act so lewdly and shamelessly here?"

She was cursing when she suddenly smiled sweetly, glancing at Xiao Feng with a seductive and wanton look, before switching to a sharp and sarcastic expression, mocking him.

"You little hussy, you want to climb into this big bear's bed too, don't you? Bah! Why don't you take a piss and see if you're even worthy? This hypocritical Delia still has to keep you hanging on his pedestal!"

"Shut up, you bitch!"

Upon seeing this vile woman insulting his sister, Duan Yu naturally stepped forward.

Although he has always been chivalrous and fond of beautiful women, this time he felt a strong aversion to Kang Min.

Xiao Feng had been hanging out with a group of beggars since childhood, so he wasn't surprised to hear any vulgar language. He also often cursed along with the others after drinking a lot.

Unexpectedly, Kang Min, who appears so charming and refined, could be so vicious and shrewish when she curses, making her utterly repulsive.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but squat down and grasp her slender neck with his hand.

The large palms and rough fingers contrasted sharply with Kang Min's fair and delicate skin.

"You bitch, will you talk or not? Why did you hurt me? If you don't tell me, I'll strangle you!"

Why would Kang Min be afraid of this?

He spat a wad of phlegm at Xiao Feng's face, but Xiao Feng dodged it.

Xiao Feng slapped her hard across the face with a backhand.

Her fair cheeks instantly turned red and swollen, causing Kang Min to shed tears of pain.

As expected, he showed no mercy or pity for her.

Despite the unbearable pain, Kang Min remained stubborn.

He then turned his face and started cursing at Xiao Feng.

"Who do you think you are? Putting aside the fact that you're a Khitan barbarian, you're nothing more than a bunch of stinking beggar leaders. What's so great about you?"

" At the Luoyang Hundred Flowers Gathering, when I stood next to the White Peony, even the peony paled in comparison to me. Whether it was cats and dogs or heroes and warriors, they all stared at me in a daze, and they were all captivated by my beauty!"

"You bastard, you won't even look at me! You clearly saw me, but you just brushed past my face, ignoring me completely, without lingering for even a moment."

"You bastard, what are you pretending to be, a hypocrite! Shameless scoundrel!"

Xiao Feng and his group were extremely surprised.

"Just because I didn't see you then? I was only focused on drinking and didn't have time to look at the flowers or plants, nor did I pay attention to any men or women present. If it were some female knight-errant from the martial arts world, I would naturally go and pay my respects, but you are my sister-in-law. What difference does it make whether I see you or not? Even if it was impolite, why hold such a grudge?"

Madam Ma cursed viciously again.

"Bastard, you son of a bitch! Don't you have eyes? No heroes or great men would leave me, but those self-proclaimed virtuous hypocrites..."

Kang Min spoke, she gave a cold glance at the Dan Family Five Tigers and the Iron-faced Judge.

The father and his six sons, all Han Dynasty, quickly looked away.

"... Pah! Even the most esteemed and respected people steal glances at me, admiring my beautiful face. Only you... You are the leader of the men in the Hundred Flowers Gathering, and naturally, my beauty is the most outstanding among the women. If you don't even look at me, how can I feel at ease even if thousands of people are infatuated with me?"

Xiao Feng was utterly speechless.

Even those present who admired Madam Ma's beauty couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances, speechless.

Kang Min is far too obsessive.

"It's also because Heaven took pity on me. These filthy beggars treat you like a god. Even though I hate you in my heart, I can only keep it to myself. But then I found this suicide note in that coward Ma Dayuan's iron box!"

"Haha, I thought you were some kind of god descended from heaven, a hero. Turns out you're just a Khitan barbarian! I'm going to ruin your reputation, I'm going to vent my anger. I'm going to make sure you can't stand in the Central Plains, and your life is in danger!"

This person could be crushed to death by himself.

But Xiao Feng still felt a chill run down his spine.

"Brother Ma wouldn't listen to you, so you asked Bai Shijing to kill him! Isn't that right!"

Kang Min said, "This coward has always been obedient to me, but this time he scolded me severely. He even threatened to chop me into mincemeat. Since he offended me like this, I naturally have to teach him a lesson."

Xiao Feng and the Four Great Elders couldn't help but sigh as they listened.

Deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan is truly loyal.

The Four Great Elders were even more ashamed at this moment.

The former leader made it clear that Xiao Feng would be dealt with when he did something wrong.

Entrusted with this important task, Deputy Chief Ma kept Chief Xiao's secrets.

They shouldn't have been misled by Quan Guanqing just because Chief Xiao was Khitan.

Kang Min continued speaking.

"Bai Shijing, that old lecher, came to my house for the Mid-Autumn Festival and naturally fell into my hands, becoming infatuated with me. I ordered him to kill Ma Dayuan, but he refused. However, he couldn't bear to kill me, so naturally he could only kill Ma Dayuan."

"I made him reveal your identity, and that old lecher actually showed you loyalty. If pushed too far, he would commit suicide. So I let him go and easily got Quan Guanqing into my hands."

"I only slept with him three times, and he was willing to listen to anything I said! He alone can't bring you down, so we had to find Xu Chongxiao! Together, we made this happen."

"It's a pity... it's a pity..."

Everyone knows what's a pity.

Unfortunately, Ji Boying appeared out of nowhere and seemed to know the truth about this matter, just like a god or a ghost.

No one could understand how he knew such a secret matter.

But the fact is, he did know, and he knew it perfectly well.

Kang Min spoke, but unfortunately, she also harbored resentment towards Ji Boying, yet she dared not look up at Ji Boying even once.

They'd rather die a quick death than provoke Ji Boying.

Although Bai Shijing was a lecherous old man, he could at least be considered a man of integrity.

After all, he was willing to die for Xiao Feng.

But he fell for Ji Boying's tricks and ended up in such a sorry state.

Kang Min was unwilling to endure such pain.

Add to that the ferocious expressions on Bai Shijing's and Quan Guanqing's faces.

It was absolutely hideous.

Kang Min's only asset in this world is her appearance.

She would never allow herself to appear in the world in such an ugly state.

"The truth is out, boss, kill them."

Wu Changfeng shouted.

Elder Chen stepped forward and knelt before Xiao Feng.

He said with a face full of shame.

"It was Quan Guanqing who persuaded me to steal that folding fan, Chief. Please punish me, Chief."

Although Xiao Feng was loyal, he was also feeling somewhat exhausted at this time.

He simply waved his hand dismissively, "Forget it, it's all in the past. The truth about Vice Chief Ma's death has come to light, and I'm already content. What's the point of talking about punishment? I can't stay in this Beggar Gang any longer."

"Boss..."

The crowd gathered around again, but for a moment they didn't know what to do.

Monk Zhiguang, Shan Zheng and his five sons, Elder Tan, Madam Tan Po, Zhao Qiansun and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

They came at the request of Xu Chongxiao.

They have indeed done something bad.

Following Wang Jiantong's wishes, to keep the secret, to Ma Dayuan's instructions, and to Bai Shijing's instructions after he learned the secret, none of them wanted to reveal Xiao Feng's intentions.

This is also Xu Chongxiao's problem. According to Wang Jiantong, they should wait until Xiao Feng changes his mind before the Beggar Gang elders can read the letter together.

Xu Chongxiao clearly did not follow orders.

But now that he is dead, the Monk Zhiguang, feel awkward.

Xiao Feng finally gave Madam Ma a complicated look.

Who would have thought that all these troubles were simply because I hadn't paid enough attention to her back then?

"Thank you so much, brother, for revealing the truth. I will never forget your kindness."

Ji Boying returned the greeting.

"Master Xiao, there's no need to be so polite. This news is just a small gift to mark our meeting."

Xiao Feng then asked.

"I want to know the truth about my origins, and I also want to know who the Leading Brother is. How can I tell you, brother?"
