Chapter 799: Apologizing with Humility?

Bang!
With a heavy thud, the main gate of Bai Xiaosheng’s residence flew open.
At that moment, the five men from Mengyun Group, full of fury, almost simultaneously focused on the gradually widening gap in the door, only to see the familiar face inside that filled them with both shock and anger.
Standing motionless behind the door, they slowly raised their heads as the gate opened, their eyes emitting a piercing coldness.
When the others met those eyes, they felt as if struck by electric shock, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over them, instantly dampening their aggressive intent.
This fierce man had slaughtered members of Yipin Hall’s branch, yet his gaze remained so murderous—was he planning to cause trouble in the city?
Except for the man wearing a conical hat, whose expression remained unreadable, Mengyun and the others were affected by Kai Xin’s murderous aura and grew solemn.
The gate was now fully open…
Kai Xin glanced at each of the five men before stepping out: “It’s been half a year since we last met in the capital, Master Meng of Mengtang.” Her tone was calm and unhurried.
“…” His gaze darkened! Mengyun was already in a bad mood, striving to regain her composure and demand an explanation. Unexpectedly, Kai Xin’s first words only reminded her of her humiliation, making her even angrier.
How could Mengyun forget Kai Xin’s first visit to the capital, which left an indelible mark on Yipin Hall and caused pain that lasted for half a year? Probably none of Yipin Hall’s members could easily forget it either.
“Mengyun certainly wouldn’t dare forget that lesson…”
Her tone turned harsh as she snapped, “Nearly a thousand of our brothers were killed by you and your subordinates back then… Now, you’ve come here and taken the lives of over three hundred more brothers from my branch. I expect Master Kai Xin to give me an explanation. Otherwise, I won’t be able to face my brothers, and the hundreds of thousands of Yipin Hall members won’t let this go!” Gradually taking control of the situation, her tone became sharper and more aggressive.
“Let’s deal with things one by one! Master Meng of Mengtang, we should discuss each matter separately… I’m rather slow to understand. If I try to handle too many things at once, I won’t be able to manage them all.” As she spoke, Kai Xin stepped out of the door and stopped at the steps, looking down at Mengyun’s eyes as her tone shifted.

“Last time I was in the capital, I was warmly received by Master Mengtang, and I’ll always remember that fondly. But it’s been a long time since then, and I have no intention of pursuing it further… This time I came to the capital mainly because of Huangsha’s wanton killings and provocations at the Mu Family’s branch hall.” His gaze shifted to Huangsha, with a slight curve forming at the corners of his lips. “Since Vice Master Huangsha is here with us, could it be that he’s come to apologize?”
At these words, Mengyun was almost furious!
Huangsha had only killed a few guard disciples at the Mu Family’s place…
Kai Xin, on the other hand, had slaughtered over 300 elite members of the First Rank Hall in one go at their branch hall.
Now they were saying Huangsha should apologize? Not only was Mengyun furious, but Xie Lang and the Monk with Thick Eyebrows also gave Kai Xin sharp looks.
There’s no way to bully people like this!
“As for the incident at the Mu Family’s branch hall, Vice Master Huangsha can apologize and accept punishment. But Kai Xin, shouldn’t you also apologize for your crimes and accept punishment?”
“Oh, what have I done to offend the First Rank Hall?”
“Don’t play dumb. At my branch hall in the small town, over 300 people were killed by you in less than an hour. You can’t deny it, can you? You’re supposed to be the greatest martial artist in the Central Plains—dare to do it but not dare to admit it?”
Mengyun stared at Kai Xin coldly.
It wasn’t safe to take action inside the city. Since the two had agreed to negotiate, she wanted to see how Kai Xin would try to cover up this incident.
Unexpectedly…
After hearing Mengyun’s accusations, Kai Xin frowned in surprise:
“I did kill quite a few people today—around 400… But it’s strange. What do these people have to do with the First Rank Hall…”
“…”
“I happened to learn while drinking with Bai Xiaosheng that some people from Lingxiao Palace were helping them to deal with the Dragon Gate masters from my Mu Family, who were hiding near the capital. As you know, these non-Central Plains martial artists come from America and have ulterior motives. They not only killed many of my Mu Family’s disciples but also killed Bai Xiaosheng’s disciple, ‘Wind Bell’. For both personal and public reasons, I couldn’t just sit by while they stayed in the capital and among the Central Plains martial artists. Out of righteous anger, I pursued them…”
Hearing this, Mengyun and the others were stunned, sensing that Kai Xin was trying to distort the truth.
Sure enough!
At this point, Kai Xin suddenly asked in return:
“During my pursuit, the ringleader, ‘Coach’, happened to run into a gang’s branch hall. Naturally, I went in and killed everyone without hesitation… Could it be that this branch hall has something to do with your First Rank Hall?”
After a pause, his tone turned icy: “Could it be that these killers from America are under your First Rank Hall’s control… Or have you taken in enemies of the Mu Family?”
“…”

Meng Yun, Huang Sha, Xie Lang, and the Monk with Thick Eyebrows felt utter contempt in their hearts.
No matter how much they had planned, they never expected Happy to use Longmen as an excuse to act foolish, pretending not to know that people from Longmen had joined Yipin Tang, pretending not to realize it was a branch of Yipin Tang, and even shifting blame after everything was done! He completely ignored the fact that he had acted against Yipin Tang out of revenge for what Huang Sha had done.
Meng Yun was now at a loss as to what to do!
Not to mention ignoring the factor of Huang Sha, Happy insisted that he had wiped out the Yipin Tang branch solely to hunt down the instructor, rendering all her previous preparations useless.
She had thought that Happy’s act of killing over 300 people from Yipin Tang after annihilating the instructor and his group was an act of revenge, a provocation, and a demonstration of power.
But unexpectedly…
From Meng Yun’s face, Happy could clearly see the two words: “Mistake.”
Happy didn’t give Meng Yun any more time. With a sharp gaze, he slowly stepped down from the steps, his aura rapidly intensifying: “Master Meng! So you were collaborating with foreign forces, working with the enemies of the Mu family…”
Meng Yun was already somewhat flustered.
At that moment, a man wearing a conical hat stepped forward quietly, standing on either side of Meng Yun to counter Happy’s overwhelming pressure. A familiar voice rang out:
“We’re not familiar with the instructor you mention. If such a person really existed and infiltrated our Yipin Tang, we would definitely expel them… But you claim not to know about this branch of Yipin Tang, casually dismissing the lives of over 300 of our brothers—that seems a bit far-fetched.”
As soon as this man spoke, Happy recognized his identity. His gaze shifted, revealing an expression of realization:
“I wondered who it was—so mysterious. It turns out to be Zhou Yu…”
“However, you say my reasons are far-fetched, but you don’t realize that your reasons are even more so. The thirty-some experts from Longmen led by the instructor caused a stir throughout the martial world during the battle in Yangzhou. If you claim not to have noticed or known about it, aren’t you just trying to brush me off?” Happy retorted bluntly, using the other man’s own arguments against him.
