"Ten thousand taels …" Ah Mei chuckled and looked up at Luo Feng. "Master, I'm tired of drifting around. It's good to settle down."
Luo Feng frowned at her.
Chu Li smiled at Ah Mei. Having a woman like her was Luo Feng's good fortune.
Ah Mei turned her head and smiled. "But Master Chen, my Master has many enemies!"
Chu Li smiled. "Who doesn't have enemies in the martial arts world?"
"That's true." Ah Mei chuckled. "But if an enemy really comes looking for us, we'll have to run or else we'll bring trouble to the Startling Cloud Association. Am I right?"
Chu Li chuckled.
Luo Feng said coldly, "My enemies are not easy to deal with. If they take their anger out on the Startling Cloud Association, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Chu Li smiled. "Tell me, who are your enemies?"
"Nine Rings Blade, White Tiger, and Heart Cutter. These three are the strongest." Luo Feng scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head. "Don't worry, they won't dare to come."
"Won't dare?" Luo Feng sneered. "With the Startling Cloud Association's strength? They can destroy us all by themselves! "
Chu Li smiled. "Then you're underestimating the Startling Cloud Association! There aren't many martial arts masters in the Startling Cloud Association but in the Cloud State Town, they're the local tyrant. Once your enemies enter the town, you'll know what to do. What you need to do is to deal with them and not let them hunt you down! … This is much better than fighting alone and being hunted down, isn't it? "
Luo Feng frowned. "Do you trust me that much?"
He knew Chu Li well. Being alone was not a long-term solution. It wasn't that he was proud and didn't want to be under someone's command. It was that he didn't trust the other factions. What if they betrayed him after he joined them?
Chu Li smiled. "I trust your feelings for Miss Ah Mei more."
"Hmph!" Luo Feng stared at him coldly.
He was angry that Chu Li was using Ah Mei to threaten him, but there was nothing he could do. Chu Li really had his life in his hands.
In the past few years, without Ah Mei, he was free and unfettered. Things were different now. With Ah Mei, he also had worries and restraints. He couldn't come and go freely, and he had even more apprehensions.
"Childe Chen, Startling Cloud Faction's Faction Leader Chen is very beautiful!" Ah Mei smiled sweetly.
Chu Li glanced at her. "She is my cousin."
"I see!" Ah Mei came to a sudden realization. She chuckled and said, "To be able to control the Startling Cloud Association as a woman, I'm very impressed!"
Chu Li said, "It's just as well. Both of you will be staying at the Xu Residence, and you'll have someone to talk to. Miss Ah Mei is smarter than most people, she'll be able to help cousin sister."
"Sure, I also want a companion," Ah Mei said with a smile.
Luo Feng's face was so gloomy that it could drip water.
Chu Li looked at Luo Feng. "Brother Luo, it's decided then. I'll make a move first and wait for the both of you at the Xu Residence!"
In a flash, he disappeared in front of the two.
The cool breeze whistled as it blew past the treetops.
Luo Feng's face was gloomy, he did not say a word.
Ah Mei said in a low voice, "Master, I've dragged you into this!"
"Don't say such things in the future!" Luo Feng scoffed. "Do you think that without you, I could have escaped?"
Ah Mei was silent.
At first glance, she knew that Chen Li was a smiling tiger, but he was cruel and merciless. If Master really did not agree to it, it was obvious that Master would not be able to live.
Luo Feng scoffed. "Forget it, it's better to have someone to rely on. We can live comfortably!"
"We're not running away?"
"We can't." Luo Feng shook his head. "Let's go and see the Startling Cloud Association!"
—
In the evening, the setting sun dyed the Xu Residence golden.
Four Clan Leaders, two Protectors, and one Guest gathered at the Xu Residence. They sat quietly and drank tea.
The Rain Clan Leader, He Shou, put down his teacup and sighed. "Elder Hu, we should increase our strength. Luckily, the Faction Leader was lucky this time. If something bad happened to her, we wouldn't have the face to continue living!"
"Elder He, it's easy for you to say. Where can we find masters?" Hu Hai pouted and scoffed. "Damn it, this master must have been recruited by the Equal of Heaven Association. They spent a lot of money on him … Equal of Heaven Association! The Equal of Heaven Association! "
At the end of his sentence, he gritted his teeth. He wanted to tear the Equal of Heaven Association apart.
"There's nothing we can do." He Shou shook his head. "This time, it's our weakness."
The Wind Clan Leader, Cheng Changfeng, was the new Clan Leader. His foundation was not shallow. He was originally a member of the Wind Clan. Although he had not reached the Innate Mastery's Boundary, he was very popular and could control the situation.
Cheng Changfeng frowned. "Clan Leader Hu, we need to think of something. We were lucky to escape this time, but what about next time? We can't let Master Li stay here forever. We're willing but Master Li isn't! "
Speaking of which, he was very grateful to Chu Li. If this Master Li did not kill the original Clan Leader, he would not have become the Clan Leader.
Hu Hai frowned and looked at Zheng Gongming.
Zheng Gongming was taking a nap. When he felt Hu Hai's gaze, he stroked his beard and shook his head. "There's nothing we can do."
"Elder Zheng, don't you have any friends?"
"No."
"Are you afraid that a master will come and you won't have a place?" Hu Hai scoffed.
Zheng Gongming stroked his beard and spat out four words. "You're unreasonable!"
Hu Hai widened his eyes and scoffed. "Elder Zheng, the Association Leader is the same without you. You're useless!"
"There's always someone better. How can he block everyone?" Zheng Gongming stroked his beard and shook his head. "We were unlucky this time, but it might not be the same next time."
"Next time, if a master like this comes again, can you block him?" Hu Hai sneered.
Xu Anxia's face darkened. He felt that every word was directed at him, but he could not do anything. This time, it was indeed his dereliction of duty. He could not even block one palm. It was too embarrassing. If Master Li did not come back, he would not be able to redeem himself even if he died a hundred times!
The sound of footsteps could be heard. Chen Siyu, dressed in white, leisurely walked over. Luo Feng and Ah Mei followed beside her. Yue Er was at the back.
"Association Leader." Everyone stood up and fist saluted.
Chen Siyu waved her hand. "No need to be so polite."
She turned to look at Luo Feng and smiled. "Elder Luo, please!"
Luo Feng bowed and nodded. "Association Leader, please!"
Everyone's gaze fell on Luo Feng. They looked at him suspiciously. They did not know what the Association Leader was up to.
Chen Siyu walked to the armchair in the center and sat down. Yue Er stood behind her. Everyone took their seats in turn. Luo Feng sat on her left, and on her right was Lan Jingzhong.
Lan Jingzhong was a Guest of the Association. His status was aloof. He usually did not get involved in the affairs of the Association. He was silent most of the time. At this time, he curiously looked at Luo Feng. He did not know why this person was qualified to sit in that position.
"Everyone, let me introduce." Chen Siyu smiled. "This is Elder Luo Feng. From today onwards, he will be the Guest of the Startling Cloud Association."
Zheng Gongming's hand that was stroking his beard had already stopped. He had been staring at Luo Feng since he stepped into the hall.
Xu Anxia's eyes widened. He was so angry that he was about to burst out. As soon as Chen Siyu finished speaking, he stood up and glared at Luo Feng. "It's you, isn't it?"
Luo Feng glanced at him coldly and ignored him.
Xu Anxia pointed at him and shouted, "You're the guy who assassinated the Association Leader!"
Chen Siyu waved her hand and said, "Guardian Xu, don't be impatient. Sit down and talk!"
Xu Anxia quickly said, "Association Leader, this guy is the guy who tried to assassinate you last time. How did he become a Guest!?"
"No discord, no concord." Chen Siyu smiled. "Alright, sit down, sit down!"
