Chapter 2915 - 2916: Three Birds with One Stone
Chapter 2915: Chapter 2916: Three Birds with One Stone
This brings three major benefits. First of all, from now on, these academies can never hope to unite again.
Secondly, these scapegoats who have risen to positions of power certainly won’t have any goodwill towards those who just coerced them.
Finally, and most importantly, these scapegoats will undoubtedly be filled with gratitude towards Xue An, who ’saved’ them.
Killing a person, but with Xue An’s methods, it clearly achieved a threefold effect.
Many people are in awe of Xue An’s brilliant tactics.
However, Xue An completely ignores those scapegoats kneeling on the ground, knocking their heads in gratitude, and instead turns and returns to the Xiyue Inn.
To him, whether these academies exist or not, they are subjects of no consequence.
Because in Xue An’s eyes, these people are no different from ants.
The reason he didn’t just wipe them out entirely was merely to give some face to this world’s literary will.
Watching him lead Ren Ning and the others away, Lu Hui’s gaze flickered slightly.
This young man, after going out, seems to have matured more.
At least he was ready for Xue An to wreak havoc, even prepared to step in and dissuade him when he acted.
Unexpectedly, this is the conclusion that unfolded.
At this moment, Tang Zheng couldn’t help but speak to him: "Senior Master, shouldn’t we go in?"
Tang Zheng was always thinking about his sister, and just wanted to step forward, but had no opportunity.
And when Xue An returned to the Xiyue Inn, his sister Tang Xiao also followed him inside.
This is even more concerning for Tang Zheng.
Lu Hui chuckled at his words, "Yes, of course we should go in!"
After speaking, he glanced at these academy disciples in disarray, sighed inwardly, knowing that after today, Xihua City’s academies would never have peace.
But now is not the time to consider these things, Lu Hui stepped into the Xiyue Inn.
The hall of the Xiyue Inn was bustling with activity.
Niu Dali and others were overjoyed to see Xue An return and immediately began preparing the banquet to welcome him.
Ren Ning followed closely behind Xue An, as if fearing he would vanish again.
Lu Hui’s arrival did not surprise the crowd.
Tang Xiao more so approached Tang Zheng with a chuckle, "Brother, I was just thinking of going out to find you, didn’t expect you would come!"
Seeing Tang Xiao, Tang Zheng’s anger vanished like smoke, and the words of rebuke he had planned got stuck in his throat.
Tang Xiao, being reckless in leaving with Xue An, made Tang Zheng furious enough to nearly explode.
He had vowed, not once, that once his sister returned, he would teach her a lesson.
Unexpectedly, seeing Tang Xiao again, apart from worry, the anger disappeared without a trace.
"You... sigh!" Tang Zheng sighed helplessly.
Tang Xiao giggled, knowing her brother’s temper well, so she wasn’t afraid and came forward to wrap herself around Tang Zheng’s arm.
"Oh, stop sighing, see, I’ve returned safe and sound!"
While Tang Zheng and his sister were talking, Xue An approached Lu Hui and smiled slightly.
"President Lu, you’ve come at the right time, there is something I need to ask you!"
"Oh? What is it?"
"How much do you know about the Great Sun Island?"
"Great Sun? Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Lu Hui was a bit surprised.
"It’s nothing, just some matters that require a trip there!" Xue An said casually.
Lu Hui felt a twinge in his heart.
What Xue An referred to as matters certainly wouldn’t be trivial, so he carefully considered his words before raising his head to speak solemnly.
"I don’t know much about the Great Sun Island, after all, this world is a secluded corner, incomparable to that dazzling center!"
"But when I traveled to study, I truly did visit the Great Sun Island once!"
"Oh? Tell us more!"
At this moment, the banquet was prepared, and Xue An and others took their seats, with Lu Hui sitting slightly lower, speaking in a low tone.
"The Great Sun Island, though called an island, is actually an extensive space filled with countless sects, known as the core of the universe!"
"If we talk about strength among those countless sects, it’s the Four Great Houses that are the strongest!"
"Oh? Which are the Four Great Houses?"
"They are Feixian Temple, Zhuang Yun Observatory, Supreme Pavilion, and Zhan Hai Palace!"
Lu Hui then detailed the composition of these four major sects.
Xue An listened intently, and only after Lu Hui finished did he suddenly ask: "And what about Senluo Valley?"
"Senluo Valley is also considered one of the top sects on the Great Sun Island, but compared to the Four Great Houses, it is still a bit inferior!"
Xue An nodded thoughtfully.
Actually, what Lu Hui said was not different from what Jin Shanquan had mentioned.
But at this moment, Lu Hui suddenly hesitated to continue.
"President Lu, if there’s anything, feel free to speak!" Xue An said calmly.
"Though I don’t know why you’re inquiring about the Great Sun Island, there’s something I must remind you of!"
"Oh? What is it?" Xue An asked with interest.
"The most noteworthy presence on the Great Sun Island isn’t the Four Great Houses but a very secretive organization!"
"What organization?"
"This organization is called the Firearms Society and has risen to prominence in recent years. Though the time has been short, its power is very strong, especially its expertise in long-range sniping!"
"After consecutively sniping several top figures, the Firearms Society’s reputation soared, becoming a dreaded presence on the Great Sun Island, with even the Four Great Houses avoiding them!"
"Firearms Society...," Xue An repeated the name, his eyes lighting up with peculiar brightness.
Being a recently risen organization, Jin Shanquan naturally wouldn’t know!
However, Xue An’s interest wasn’t in this fact, but in the name and its significance.
The mysterious sniping skills Lu Hui mentioned intrigued Xue An greatly.
But upon further inquiry, Lu Hui couldn’t provide more information.
What he knew was thanks to some friends from outside, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so informed.
Thereafter, the group exchanged toasts, happily finishing the banquet.
In the end, almost everyone was drunk.
Especially Niu Dali and Zhang Xiaoqiang, who were sprawled on the floor snoring loudly.
Lu Hui, Tang Zheng, and others then departed.
Before leaving, Tang Zheng, looking at his sister Tang Xiao who refused to leave, had a gaze filled with such longing it could drip water.
But helplessly, with Tang Xiao unwilling to leave, as her brother, he had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Ren Ning wanted to talk more with his master, but understanding his master’s fatigue from the journey, bid goodbye early.
Once Xue An was alone, he raised his head to look at the night outside the window and softly exhaled.
"This sure is... getting more and more interesting!"
