Chapter 733: Rejecting Lingxiao Palace!

No sound came from the room with the knife, but in less than three minutes, the knife came out, a hint of relief on its face.
“How did it go?”
Kai Xin could sense his own tone was uneasy—he didn’t want to hear anyone’s name.
Fortunately, the knife’s reply relieved Kai Xin:
“That kid is a local thief. After learning about you at Nanhua University, he said he got a key replica from a man, made his own key, and planned to steal something from you. But he surely didn’t know that aside from your computer, there’s nothing valuable in your room at all.”
“…Sure?” Kai Xin was still uneasy.
“Sure. I checked the public security system while interrogating him earlier and found his criminal record. He’s indeed a habitual thief active in this area. He wasn’t sent by anyone. He’s not even worth my effort.” The knife showed a reassuring smile before asking Kai Xin, “That kid is terrified of me now. He’s probably scared half to death. Kai Xin, should we let him go or give him a lasting lesson by throwing him in the hospital?”
Kai Xin peeked through the door gap and saw a trembling young man. Though his body was intact, his mind was clearly on the verge of collapse.
“Since he wasn’t sent by anyone, just make sure he stays away from here from now on.”
“Okay,” the knife nodded.
“By the way, where’s Yinhu?” Kai Xin suddenly remembered. With such things happening here, could something have happened to Yinhu in the game, preventing him from leaving?
Leizi’s expression darkened as he replied, “That man in black from Yangzhou Port appeared again, challenging the boss in a one-on-one fight. Halfway through, a group of unknown experts showed up, trying to storm the place. Many of our brothers were killed or injured. Brother Yinhu, Fengling, Xiaobei, and Fengzhi joined forces and only seven of us remained. We’re currently cleaning up the mess.”
Hearing the shocking news from Leizi, Kai Xin realized he had spent too much time in the Heavenly Demon Cave today. Something indeed had happened outside.
But to his surprise, even with many experts from the Mu Family deployed in Yangzhou City, there were still many casualties!
“Who are these people?”
“Unknown, but definitely not from Yipin Hall or Lingxiao Palace…” After a pause, Leizi explained firmly, “These people are all very strong. According to Brother Yinhu, they’re all trained fighters. If it weren’t for Fengling, we probably wouldn’t have been able to control the situation…”

“Have you all remembered their names? Divination, pursuit!” As for matters outside the jianghu, Kai Xin might not be as decisive as Lei Zi and Dao Zi, but when it came to matters within the jianghu, his demeanor changed instantly. He said bluntly, “Since they’re targeting our Mu family, there’s no need to treat them kindly! Don’t let these people think that just because they’ve practiced martial arts for a few days, they can look down on everyone. I’m still in the Heavenly Demon Secret Cavern and can’t leave for a while. Pass a message to Silver Fox for me!”
Dao Zi, who had earlier acted like an executioner, now hid the wildness on his face.
Lei Zi nodded as well:
“I’ll go do it right away!”
After a pause, Kai Xin snorted coldly again:
“I was worried about not having an excuse to send more troops to Yangzhou. Since the Lingxiao Palace hasn’t taken action, these assassins give us a perfect reason. Lei Zi, Dao Zi, and those at the Heavenly Demon Branch don’t need to worry about this for now. Send some experts from the main branch to Yangzhou. If there aren’t enough people, recruit from the various branches. Each person contributes 50,000 contribution points per day.”
“And…”
“Keep an eye on the people from the Lingxiao Palace. If these people have any connection with them, don’t hesitate—destroy their main branch!”
Xu Xin, Xu Yao, Chen Fan, Bai Lang, Qi Ci, and the others rushed up the stairs in a hurry and heard Kai Xin make this decision that shocked them deeply. They were stunned in the stairwell.
Their eyes flickered between Kai Xin, Lei Zi, and Dao Zi:
“Kai Xin.”
“Are you okay?”
“Where’s that thief?” The Lonely Three Wolves were still worried about Kai Xin. Although he hadn’t revealed much, they sensed something from the keys. They all rushed over, fearing something might happen to him.
But now, seeing the two strangers in the stairwell, they were puzzled:
“Who are they?”
“Concerned neighbors.” Kai Xin wasn’t expecting them to arrive so quickly and had already met Lei Zi and the others, which left him extremely frustrated. He tried to explain with a sheepish smile.
“…” The Lonely Three Wolves still didn’t understand Kai Xin: “You told your concerned neighbors about destroying the Lingxiao Palace?”
All five of them stared at Kai Xin with expressions saying, “Who are you trying to fool?”
Xu Xin had seen them before a few times:
“You guys live next to Kai Xin…”
“That’s right.”
“Do you also play ‘Jianghu’?” Xu Xin thought quite naively.
But Xu Yao stood beside her, her gaze shifting between Lei Zi and Dao Zi, filled with uncertainty.
She had also heard what Kai Xin said just now.

Decline the Lingxiao Palace!
Words like these had never been spoken in front of the Lonely Three Wolves or Xu Xin, yet here they were, spoken in front of strangers—was that possible?
Seeing the increasingly strange expressions on everyone’s faces, Kai Xin realized he couldn’t hide it any longer. With a sigh, he said helplessly, “Come in and talk. Leizi and Daizi, go back. I’ll explain your identities to them.”
“Leizi? Daizi?!”
Although the Lonely Three Wolves had focused much of their attention on the Jiangnan South China List, they still knew well about the experts from the Mu Family, especially the three top fighters stationed at the Tianmo Branch Temple!
Leizi, Daizi, and Tiaozi—known as the Three Demons of the Mu Family—had even greater strength than the Storm Dragon…
Xu Yao also showed surprise, realizing now that the two indeed resembled those in the game, both in appearance and temperament.
Leizi and Daizi awkwardly wiped their noses, waved at everyone, and one went into the next room while the other went downstairs.
Xu Xin, Xu Yao, and the Lonely Three Wolves followed Kai Xin back to the room, filled with questions; Kai Xin still held the key in his hand…
After briefly recounting what had happened that day, the Lonely Three Wolves immediately set out to deal with the thief.
Kai Xin didn’t stop them:
“Daizi has already beaten him half to death. If you hit him again, he’ll really die.” All three rolled their eyes. “Who exactly are they?”
“They’re Silver Fox’s brothers. They’re here to take care of me.”
“No way? Bodyguards this good? No wonder they didn’t let us come…” Qi Ci was excited, gesturing wildly. “No wonder they’re so strong in the game. With you taking such good care of them, I wondered…”
“But you’re wrong. Hiding such a big thing from us—your secrecy work is too good, isn’t it?” Chen Fan’s words made Xu Xin bite her lower lip.
“Xiaoxin, you’re not also being kept in the dark, are you? Kai Xin, that’s your mistake…”
“I’m just worried. If you find out someone’s taking care of me, maybe Xiaoxin won’t come to cook for me every day…” Kai Xin also felt anxious and hurriedly explained.
Xu Xin’s expression finally brightened, with a hint of shyness in her eyes:
“Hmph, you’re sensible.”
