Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 198

Long Fengming sat down in the empty seat to his right, with four sword-wielding bodyguards standing behind him. Long Fengming said, "Aside from his severed right hand, Piaoxiang is otherwise unharmed. It seems the other side didn't torture him."

Kang Boying's tone was cold and sarcastic. "I didn't expect Lu Qingcheng to treat him so politely, not cutting off his hands and feet. Hmph, if it were me, I would have chopped him into eight pieces. That would be too lenient for him."

Li Ying's group remained expressionless, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Long Fengming smiled and said, "He's waiting outside, wanting to kowtow and pay his respects to you."

Kang Boying took another sip of hot tea. "There's no need for kowtowing and paying respects. I'm no longer his master."

Li Ying's expression froze. The subordinates of the Sky Eagle Sect, Sky Dragon Fortress, and Wind and Moon Manor looked at each other, each lost in their own thoughts, and remained silent.

Long Fengming asked, "Senior brother, how did the battle go last night?"

Kang Boying shook his head. "Last night, I exchanged a few blows with Lu Qingcheng. Unexpectedly, that kid was quite tough. It was a bloody battle, and many of our brothers died or were injured. We didn't gain any advantage either. Their momentum is very sharp, and we dare not underestimate them."

Li Ying and the others all looked at Long Fengming. Long Fengming smiled faintly and then looked at Long Fengxiang.

Long Fengxiang's expression changed, becoming both dignified and serious. "My junior brother is about the same level as my senior brother. The ones who are fighting me are Lei Yongxiang and Liu Xicheng. They are fighting like they don't care about their lives, and they have injured many of my brothers."

Guo Gang also said, "My subordinates are facing the Cai brothers, and their situation is similar to that of the lord. Moreover, they are skilled in both offense and defense, disciplined, and fought relentlessly from beginning to end."

Ling Lei said, "The ones fighting against my subordinates and Shan Yue are Li Anguo and He Zhiqiang. In terms of strength, they should be weaker than us, but they are all fearless in the face of death. Their sheer strength is enough to make my subordinates tremble."

Guan Shanyue said, "That's right, Young Master. If we continue fighting like this, our casualties will be very serious. I estimate that even if we win, we will be severely weakened, and it will be a losing proposition."

Li Ying smiled confidently, "Lu Qingcheng is nothing but a paper tiger. Although she is sharp, she can't keep it up for long. Although we couldn't decide the winner last night, we still have the upper hand by capturing Qing Jianyue. It's a huge psychological blow to Lu Family Fortress."

Luo Buqun also laughed and said, "The leader is right. Lord Kang and Young Master Long, I believe that as long as we persevere for a while longer, we will definitely be able to defeat Lu Family Fortress."

Zhao Wuyang chuckled and said, "Indeed, with the combined strength of our three families, how could we not kill that brat Lu Qingcheng?"

Long Fengxiang said with a half-smile, "Which three families are you from? Your family? If a fight breaks out, your family's people will run faster than rabbits. Stop trying to put on a show of strength here. I feel ashamed for your family."

Li Ying, Luo Buqun, and Zhao Wuyang all blushed. Li Ying smiled and said, "Brother Fengxiang, a mistake made at one time does not define a mistake for life. Young Master Kang, rest assured, our sect will do its utmost from now on. In any case, we cannot let all our previous efforts go to waste."

Kang Boying had a gloomy face and spoke very little. Long Fengming smiled faintly and listened from beginning to end without even blinking.

Guo Gang and his wife, Ling Lei, Guan Shanyue, and the others stared at them expressionlessly, then looked at their master. Li Ying and the others spit out their saliva, but there was no reaction from him, instantly making them feel uncertain again. Just as they were at an impasse, the sounds of laughter and chatter came from outside.

Someone reported, "The two young mistresses and young ladies have arrived."

As they spoke, two beautiful women accompanied a young beauty in. The woman on the left, like a vibrant flower, a charming young woman in yellow, was Luo Xiang's younger sister, Luo Lan, who had married Lu Zhi a few years prior. The woman on the right, dressed in a bright red gown, lively and alluring, was Luo Xiang's wife, Lu Zhi's older sister, Lu Xuemei. Three years ago, she was the one who impersonated Zhao Xing and nearly killed Qing Jianyue. The girl in the middle, about sixteen or seventeen years old, was delicate and petite, with exquisite features, a truly endearing young beauty.

As soon as she entered, she ran to Zhao Wuyang and said sweetly, "Father."

Zhao Wuyang smiled and said, "Young Master Long, this is my daughter, Mei'er. Mei'er, quickly offer Young Master Long some tea."

"Yes, Father." Zhao Meier shyly accepted the fragrant tea offered by the maid and walked towards Long Fengming.

Zhao Wuyang and Li Ying stared at Long Fengming, their four eyes gleaming like four lit candles, or like prey about to take the bait. At that moment, Long Fengming's henchmen unceremoniously reached out to stop them. Zhao Meihua paled, and the four candles of Li Ying and Zhao Wuyang seemed to be extinguished by a strong wind, black smoke billowing away.

“Diwei, you mustn’t be rude,” Long Fengming said.

"yes."

The burly man bowed and stepped aside.

Zhao Meier's face lit up with joy again, and she said sweetly, "Young Master, please have some tea."

Long Fengming smiled calmly, "Thank you for your trouble, young lady."

The four candles held by Li Ying and Zhao Wuyang seemed to pop open with a "poof," and their faces burst into laughter like exploding bean pods. Zhao Meier, extremely embarrassed, hid behind her father.

Li Ying began to sing like a drummer, "This Miss Zhao Mei, Brother Fengming knows her. Miss Mei is seventeen years old this year and is not yet engaged. It just so happens that Brother Fengming is also unmarried. How about our two families become a family alliance? Brother Zhao cherishes this daughter very much. Many people have proposed marriage to her, but Brother Zhao is not comfortable marrying her off, fearing that she will be mistreated. But since Brother Fengming came, Brother Zhao has been very satisfied and fond of you, and can't wait to marry his daughter to you immediately."

Zhao Meier lowered her head happily.

Kang Boying lowered his head to drink tea, while Long Fengxiang looked up at the sky. He glanced at the other people from Tianlong Fort and Fengyue Manor, who remained expressionless, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Long Fengming smiled innocently, “Thank you for your kindness, Master Zhao and Master Li, but marriage is a major event that should be decided by our parents. I dare not agree on my own. I will wait until I go back and inform my parents before making any decisions.”

Li Ying laughed and said, "Fengming, I'm not talking about you. If you miss out on a lovely girl like Miss Zhao, you'll never find another one like her even with a lantern."

Long Fengming smiled elegantly, "I understand, but I dare not disobey my mother. If I anger or sadden her, I would not survive even if I had a hundred lives. Leader Li is well aware of this, so why make things difficult for me?"

"I see." Li Ying couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but she smiled and said, "That's true."

Zhao Wuyang was greatly disappointed, and Zhao Mei covered her face and ran out of the living room.

After their clownish performance finally came to an end, Kang Boying spoke again, "Fengming, what are your thoughts on the current battle situation?"

All eyes were focused on Long Fengming's face.

"Ceasefire." Long Fengming picked up his teacup and sipped the fragrant tea.

Li Ying was taken aback. "Absolutely not! If we give Lu Family Fort a chance to catch our breath, we will lose our advantageous position."

Luo Buqun also earnestly advised, "Young Master Long, Master Kang, this time we have indeed miscalculated and fallen into the trap of Lu Family Fort. If the encirclement succeeds, Lu Family Fort will certainly not gain any advantage. Therefore, please reconsider, Young Master Long, and do not give Lu Qingcheng a chance to catch her breath."

Long Fengming's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and he remained silent. Li Ying and Luo Buqun then looked at Kang Boying, whose gaze flickered, a slight smile playing on his lips, but he said nothing. As for Long Fengxiang, he still maintained his cynical, roguish demeanor, a half-smile playing on his lips.

The atmosphere in the living room fell into a cold and somber trough. Just as Li Ying and Luo Buqun were at a loss, Feng Piaoxiang's voice came in like a thunderbolt, breaking the silence and indifference.

"Get out of the way, you bastard, get out of the way! I need to see the Master and the Young Master of the Manor! Get out of the way!"

Upon hearing his voice, Li Ying and Luo Buqun were overjoyed. Kang Boying, however, was furious, as if he had been hit in the face with dog excrement.

Like a mad tiger, Feng Piaoxiang smashed through the soldiers who tried to stop her and forced her way into the living room.
