Chapter 25

"Stop going into the city? What happened?" Chen Yuxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Ma Xingyun was fine.

Although he didn't know what was going on in the city now, at least the things were not as good as he thought. At least Ma Xingyun was burned to death without any luck.

Unexpectedly, just when he was thinking this, Ma Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and said, "You, a thousand-killer, were not burned to death. This is really great."

"I should say this sentence right?" Chen Yuxi rolled his eyes: "You drunkard were not burned to death, how could I be burned to death?"

"I'm just a little bit." Ma Xingyun said: "If I hadn't been awakened by drinking too much and being suffocated by urine, I saw someone setting fire while peeing, and now I guess I'm already gone to ashes."

"Who set the fire?" Chen Yuxi's voice became serious.

"Murong family." Ma Xingyun said: "I know the man who took the lead in setting fire. His surname is Liu, he is the second housekeeper of the Murong family. He is also half of Murong Bai's teacher, so he has a very close relationship with Murong Bai. This time, he is probably helping Murong Bai seek revenge."

"When I got up and peed, they had just finished pouring the tinder oil, and the fire had just gotten up. At that time, I saw that it was them. I was so scared that I woke up halfway through the wine. I didn't dare to think too much, so I slipped out..."

Speaking of this, Ma Xingyun was suddenly ashamed: "After I slipped out, I realized that the person they mainly wanted to target was not me, but you... I was walking very quickly, but if you bastard was still in the bookstore and I didn't call you twice before leaving, wouldn't it be too unfaithful?"

"But it's too late to regret. After I ran out, the fire became very big. So, I hid at the city gate and went to the bookstore to find you, and it would be even worse to leave directly. I can only hope in the torture. You kid should be like before, and you go out of the city again in the middle of the night and are not in the room at all. So, I was waiting for you at the city gate, but I didn't expect that I would wait for you."

Chen Yuxi patted his shoulder, not caring about what he said was not loyal enough.

After all, Ma Xingyun is not a practitioner. When he got up in the middle of the night, he saw a large group of warriors from the Murong family setting fires. He must have been frightened. In that case, it is not easy for him to sneak out to save his life...

In other words, after Ma Xingyun slipped out, he did not escape far away, but kept waiting for him at the gate of the city, which was enough to be loyal.

"Now you and I are fine. This is a blessing in disguise." Ma Xingyun looked at the fire in the distance and said, "Since that's the case, you might as well leave this city."

"Just leave like this?" Chen Yuxi frowned.

"I know you're a little unhappy when the bookstore is burned, but that's just a trivial matter." Ma Xingyun said: "Don't fight with the Murong family, at least don't fight with them for the time being. This time it's a fire, and I don't know what it is next time! Don't look at those guys as cowardly as soft-boys in front of Tianshan Sect, but you can do everything you can to deal with people like you and me who have no background. If you keep consuming it with them, there will be no benefit."

"What's more, you have a bright future, how can you spend your energy and life here?" As he said, he took out two stacks of silver notes from his arms: "Don't say I'm not loyal, this is my entire net worth, two thousand taels of silver notes. You half and I half, you go to Tianshan Sect, I go to other cities to develop, and see you again in the future."

"This..." Chen Yuxi felt a little embarrassed to reach out.

"Don't be polite. The registration fee for Tianshan Sect is 500 taels of silver. Now that the bookstore is burned, you don't even have a yarn. What can you use to register? You can't borrow someone from a girl, right? It hurts our man's face so much!" Ma Xingyun said.

"Register 500 taels is enough." Chen Yuxi said.

"If you have more, just be my investment in my buddy." Ma Xingyun said: "After ten years of ability, you will be ten times... no, you will be rewarded with me a hundred times!"

"Damn! One hundred times, why don't you grab it? Ultimate loans are not put like this!" Chen Yuxi cursed and took the silver bill.

When Ma Xingyun saw that he had received the silver bill, he burst into laughter like a profiteer. Then he chose a mountain road and walked in the distance...

After taking two steps, he suddenly turned back to Chen Yuxi and said, "Remember! Don't go back to the city! Don't take risks!"

"I'm very sensible, I'm right." Chen Yuxi replied.

"Hey, you can't think of me for being naughty. After all, I have to think about my banknotes!" He laughed again, without looking back this time.

However...

Despite Ma Xingyun's repeated instructions, when he walked away, Chen Yuxi returned to the city...

It’s not that he must let out a sigh of anger. Ma Xingyun’s 1,000 taels of silver notes were enough to make him look down on the entire burned bookstore and look down on it.

For money and for a better future, he may not care about the burned bookstore, or even the Murong family is making trouble behind the scenes. But before leaving, he must confirm the last thing.

He wants to see how Xiao Shi is...

No matter what, it is his clerk. It is his responsibility to confirm whether his clerk is safe and it is also a threshold that he cannot overcome...

What's more, the little guy worked diligently for the past three years, leaving him an excellent impression.

So, taking advantage of the night, he returned to the small town and returned to the familiar streets.

At this time, there was not even a single person on the street. It might be that everyone in the city was sleeping very hard, and it was more likely that everyone in the city knew who was setting the fire. So even if the fire was so huge, as long as it did not burn its own house, no one would dare to go out to put out the fire...

Therefore, the bookstore was completely burned and collapsed, and the fire had actually decreased a lot.

He used his true energy to protect himself from being burned and advanced towards the ruins.

He was in a calm mood and didn't worry too much.

After all, even Ma Xingyun, who was drunk like a dead pig, escaped. Xiao Shi was a clever child. Maybe he had been no longer in the bookstore before...

However, when he kicked open the unformed door, he saw a charred body pressing under the burnt beam...

There was a sword next to the corpse.

It was once a rust sword, but it was burned red at this time...

Chen Yuxi was stunned when he looked at the thin and charred corpse.

He stood in the fire for a long time, then clenched his fists...

...

...

At the same time, in a loft in the Murong family.

Murong Bai stood upstairs, looking at the fire outside the city, and danced excitedly: "Okay! It's good to burn! It's so good!"

Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "Young Master, please forgive me for saying that unless Chen Yuxi was poisoned and unable to move in advance, or was seriously injured and unable to move, otherwise... such a simple fire would be impossible to burn that kind of master to death."

"Of course I know this." Murong Bai said: "He can even kill a great martial artist. If he is so easy to be burned to death, the strong people in the world will be worthless."

"Then do you want me to set fire?" Old Liu frowned in confusion.

"If you can't burn him to death, you can always burn others." Murong Bai smiled cruelly: "For example, this fire can burn his best friend Ma Xingyun, burn his clerk to death, and turn the bookstore he has run for five years into ashes. I guess that feeling will not be good."

"This..." Old Liu was shocked: "But if he does this, he will definitely be angry, then..."

"Anger? Hum!" Murong Bai snorted angrily: "When he teased me in front of the whole city and lured me to admit that he was the real murderer behind the scenes, why didn't he think I would be angry?"

"He was irritated? So what if he was irritated!"

"I'm a useless man now, and I won't even leave the Murong family's gate. Do he dare to come to seek revenge on me?"

"The Murong family has a master-level strong man in charge! Do he dare to take a step forward!"

"I've been ruined! I've lost my future! Would you just forget it?"

"Of course not! No one can do that to me after doing that kind of thing, and he can still be free all day long! So, I want to make him feel in pain! I want to make him regret being an enemy of me!"

"What's more, the Murong family lost such a big face in the city yesterday. If they don't do anything, how can they look up in the future? We can't afford to offend Tianshan Sect, can't we afford to offend just a casual cultivator? He burned a bookstore to let everyone in the city see who is the main owner here."

After hearing this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but nodded secretly.

He felt that Murong Bai's approach was indeed extreme, but at least the last sentence made sense.

The Murong family always has to find a way to pick up the face that has been lost.

They could not seek revenge on Tianshan Sect, nor could they seek revenge on people like Xiao Yicai, so they could only seek revenge on Chen Yuxi.

He only burned his bookstore, killing one or two people who were both important and serious, which was indeed considered light...

At this time, Mr. Liu even thought that if Chen Yuxi was more aware of the current affairs, if Chen Yuxi was smart enough, he should understand the practices and situation of the Murong family. From now on, he would be calm. If the bookstore was burned and his friends were killed, he would not pursue the matter...

However, just as he was thinking so, he looked up and saw the fire...

But this time the fire was very close to him! The fire was not in the bookstore in the distant street, but in the Murong family.

I don't know why, but the Murong family caught fire...
