Chapter 2301 - 2274: Who Are You Really

Feeling the light emanating from Ji Xingyun’s eyes and the killing intent from his body, the face of the black-clad man showed no change. He merely said, "Ji Group Leader, rest assured, I hold no malice towards Lu Tianxing, you can be completely at ease, there’s no need to worry."

"I hope so."

Ji Xingyun sneered, but he did not argue against the black-clad man’s words.

"Ji Group Leader, since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first."

With that said, the black-clad man wasted no more words, his figure flashed, and within several flickers, he had disappeared from Ji Xingyun’s sight.

Ji Xingyun stood still, watching the departure of the black-clad man, his brows slightly furrowed, showing a thoughtful expression on his face.

For some reason, the more he observed the black-clad man, the more he felt he had met him before. Moreover, as time went on, the familiarity towards the black-clad man grew stronger, almost certainly confirming that the man was an old acquaintance.

But the deliberate actions of the black-clad man left Ji Xingyun unable to guess his true identity.

Additionally, during the conversation and the sparring with the black-clad man, Ji Xingyun not only wanted to ask directly, but also wanted to force the black-clad man to reveal his authentic martial arts to discover his true identity.

However, Ji Xingyun underestimated the black-clad man’s caution. Despite sparring, the man never used his true martial arts, deploying skills from various prestigious families, making Ji Xingyun feel like the black-clad man was a turtle he couldn’t bite into.

But precisely because of this sparring, Ji Xingyun gained a complete understanding of the black-clad man’s strength, fighting on par at the same level, yet the man never showed his real skills, which proved how terrifying his abilities were.

"Are you really someone familiar to me? Who are you?"

Various thoughts raced through Ji Xingyun’s mind, with silhouettes appearing in his head as he tried to grasp the true identity of the black-clad man, but there were no results.

Ji Xingyun could only let out a helpless sigh, his gaze sweeping around, and like the black-clad man, in a few flashes, he disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, in the Bai Family Ancestral House in Modu.

Jiang Liufeng was sitting on the sofa, lighting a cigarette, his brows slightly furrowed. Beside him, Rose was sitting there, her exquisite face carrying a hint of murderous intent, her whole body exuding a bloody smell.

At the moment, only Jiang Liufeng and Rose were present in the villa, while Bai Qiao Mountain and Mandala had been persuaded by Jiang Liufeng to go to their rooms to rest.

The entire living room was quiet, no one spoke.

Ring ring ring...

Suddenly, the urgent ringing of a cell phone broke the silence in the room.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Rose didn’t hesitate, immediately taking out her phone and seeing the caller display, she answered the call without hesitation.

As Lin Yafei’s voice came through the call, Rose’s expression became increasingly serious.

After a long time, Lin Yafei finally hung up the phone with Lin Yafei. Just after hanging up, Rose didn’t wait for Jiang Liufeng to talk, she spoke immediately: "Grandfather, I just received a call from Lin Demon. She told me that this time, the Tang Family kidnapped Old Master Bai because Tang Qingyun was secretly instructing, wanting to use Old Master Bai to force Zhiqing to deal with Tianxing. But, Grandfather, you can rest assured now; we broke this situation, Zhiqing is unharmed, so you don’t need to worry."

Upon hearing Rose’s words, Jiang Liufeng thoughtfully nodded, then said, "Rose, I guess Yafei didn’t just mention this to you!"

"Indeed."

Rose nodded slightly, saying: "Tonight, Tianxing fought Tang Qingyun and successfully killed him. However, according to what Lin Yafei told me, the Tang Qingyun Tianxing killed was just a substitute, yet the strength of this substitute is quite terrifying."

"Terrifying!"

Jiang Liufeng’s eyes slightly narrowed: "Rose, tell me more about it."

"I don’t know the specifics."

Rose shook her head, saying: "I heard from Lin Demon that this substitute also practiced the Tang Family’s skills and wielded a Xuantian Sword, equally matched with Tianxing. If not for Tianxing’s overpowering strength, he wouldn’t have been able to prevail."

At this point, Rose took a deep breath and continued: "Grandfather, I feel this matter is not simple. If Tianxing truly killed a substitute, then the real Tang Qingyun’s strength must be extremely frightening. Coupled with the Yang Family eyeing from the sidelines, Grandfather, I’m worried about the fifth of this month..."

Rose stopped speaking, but her meaning was already clear.

After hearing Rose’s words, Jiang Liufeng took a deep breath and said: "Rose, I understand everything you said, but there’s no need to worry. The Tang Family might go all out, but the Yang Family definitely won’t."

Rose, upon hearing this, was slightly stunned, then remembering something, her eyes lit up: "Grandfather, you mean..."

"You’re correct."

Jiang Liufeng spoke calmly: "There’s a saying that goes, ’The most ruthless place is the emperor’s family.’ To most, these prestigious families are like royal families, which are usually unsentimental. For survival and profit, they sell their own siblings and even massacre their kin. Do you think they would fight desperately for an outside force?"

"Maybe the Yang Family and Tang Family have a cooperative relationship, but when it comes down to it, do you think the Yang Family would go all out?"

Rose shook her head slightly after hearing Jiang Liufeng. Historically, there’s been no shortage of sibling rivalry and kin slaughter in elite families, all for an outsider but not exhaustively, no family can achieve this.

Even with an alliance between Tang and Yang Family, it’s a fragile agreement that can be broken anytime, with no binding power whatsoever.
