Dong Ling's maid looked at him with a smile. There was nothing to hesitate about. Things like Dong Ling's family being abandoned by their family were happening all the time in the Seven Continents, and the people who carried out the mission chose to kill them without exception.
They were no longer valuable to Dong Ling's family, and they were also people who violated the family rules. The people who carried out the mission would naturally not make Dong Ling's family uncomfortable because of them.
Lu Yu blinked her eyes and looked at Li Xiang. Dong Ling's face was still ashen. In her heart, she probably thought that she had lied to Li Xiang and almost caused him to fail the mission. This big boy probably hated her to death.
As their eyes met, Li Xiang made a special decision that was out of everyone's expectations.
"Let them go, since they are no longer useful to you." Li Xiang's thoughts were actually very simple. Dong Ling's family mission had disgusted him, so he would do the same. Anyway, they said that the decision was up to him. Secondly, he did not hate Dong Ling's family as much as those people thought.
The person who killed him was the Kuang Tie, and now the tarot card people were also involved. This was the second time he was targeted by the tarot card people. The first time could be said to be a coincidence, but the second time was definitely a problem. Li Xiang, who was one of their members in his previous life, knew how terrifying this organization was. If it was not for the big internal problem, this huge organization would not have disbanded.
Now that he had come to such a world, it would only be more terrifying. He had to be prepared.
He still had the mysterious mechanical box left by Sword Four in his arms. He touched the box and thought. As for Dong Ling's family, he was only here to obtain the qualification for the second stage of training. He really did not care much about this mission. As long as he could successfully graduate from the Polar night and obtain the player qualification, he believed that with his talent, he would definitely be able to find a good force to rely on during his time in university. He did not necessarily have to participate in the "one plan".
"Hmm?" The maid raised her head in confusion, thinking that she had misheard. She thought highly of Li Xiang and had even revealed to him that he was someone that the First Lady thought highly of. He should be a smart person, and she had even given him some pointers in the armory. How could he be so tactless?
Seeing that they still had many doubts, Li Xiang repeated, "I don't have any other requests. Just let them go."
As soon as his voice fell, a burst of trivial steam language sounded in the silent black carriage. After the madam finished speaking, Li Xiang noticed that the expressions of the maidservant and Ming Xu had changed slightly. It seemed that the madam was very angry.
After saying that, the maid's expression became extremely solemn. She bowed to the black carriage and said to Li Xiang solemnly, "Madam said that she hopes that Mr. Li Xiang can consider carefully before making a decision. If you insist on letting them go, then the quota for the 'one plan' will be canceled and will no longer be given to you. Of course, this mission will still give you the highest evaluation and guarantee that you can continue the second phase of Polar night training. "
"Hmm, I understand." Li Xiang was so angry that he laughed, but he did not show his dissatisfaction on the surface. He had said that he would listen to his choice, but in the end, didn't he still have to follow their will? He had previously felt that there was no absolute freedom in this kind of big family. This was also one of the reasons why Li Xiang was not very willing to rely on a big family.
"Then I still hope that you can send them away." Li Xiang straightened up. This time, Ming Xu's gaze did not waver but stared straight at him.
"Okay, as you wish." At this point, the maid no longer insisted. She had seen countless geniuses. Although Li Xiang's choice made her feel a little regretful, it was not unacceptable.
There were many young people like him who were too self-conscious. In her eyes, Li Xiang's choice was too impulsive and unwise. She had thought that he was a smart person, but now it seemed that he was just so-so.

Hangzhou Steam Relay Station.
Seeing Dong Ling Lan and her daughter leave on the 'Taotie', Li Xiang's heart was filled with emotions. Lu Yu's tears gushed out as she waved her hand and shouted, "Big Brother Li Xiang" as she left. Dong Ling Lan hugged her daughter with a complicated expression and did not say a word to Li Xiang in the end.
Other than Lu Yu, no one could understand Li Xiang's final decision.
If he killed them, he would receive the Winter Zero Clan's approval and obtain a spot in the "One Plan". The benefits he could see right now were a hundred standard vials of Origin Energy, as well as an endless supply of resources in the future. Anyone would have made that choice.
"Why?" Ming Xu stood beside him. The breeze blew up her skirt, and a few strands of her hair fluttered in the wind. Her dark red fringe was particularly eye-catching. If it was just based on looks and figure, she was definitely a one-in-a-million beauty. Unfortunately, the icy expression on her face, coupled with the faint killing intent, made people afraid to approach her. In the Polar night, she was not as popular as the gentle Ji Yanqing who smiled at everyone.
"You're talking about them?" Li Xiang was stunned. This incident made him feel a little disgusted with the Dong Ling family. However, he had a strange feeling when facing this girl. Perhaps it was because she could perfectly match his style in battle, or perhaps it was because she had a different personality from most of the people in the Dong Ling family. In short, when he was with Ming Xu, he could always feel relaxed.
Ming Xu nodded slightly.
"It's nothing. If you want to let them go, then let them go. Actually, it's nothing. You know, compared to this, graduating from the Polar night is much more important." Li Xiang shrugged and replied half-truthfully, "As long as I can obtain the qualification for the second phase of the training, that's enough. Besides, your family didn't completely reject me, right? It's just that I can't participate in the 'one plan'. "
Ming Xu looked into his eyes as if trying to find a trace of a lie. However, the young man's smile was sincere, and his eyes were clear. There was no sign of lying at all.
That was what he really thought.
Ming Xu suddenly smiled.
"Alright, let's go. It's time to go back and submit the mission. I hope we can graduate together after the second phase of the training." Li Xiang turned around and stopped looking at the empty train tracks floating in the air. Behind him were the twin lighthouses that had been completely sealed because of the chaos that day.
"Mm." Ming Xu followed his footsteps. "Your bullets … are very powerful."
Li Xiang's footsteps paused for a moment, then he smiled faintly. "Ah, about that, remember to keep it a secret for me."
"Mm." Ming Xu nodded, and the two figures gradually disappeared into the vast crowd.
.....
In a department of the Hangzhou Military Department.
Kuang Tie, who was sitting in his seat, had a terrible expression. Mo Hai, who was standing behind him, also had a worried expression. Things had gotten out of hand.
The middle-aged man sitting opposite him was wearing a capable uniform. He had the rank of Senior Colonel. His expression was stern, and his fingers were tapping on the mahogany table in front of him. Young Master Wang, who was standing behind him, had an awkward expression. Every time he wanted to speak, the middle-aged man's fingers would tap harder.
Mo Hai looked at the middle-aged man, and all kinds of information about him flashed through his mind. Wang Haisheng, Senior Colonel, the second-in-command of the Hangzhou Military Department. He was in charge of managing the intelligence network of Hangzhou and the surrounding super cities. It was said that he had been stuck as a Level 3 Magician ever since he graduated from the Military Academy. In order to successfully become a player, he had begun to move around in City 0001 and the major military regions. He was one of General Shogun's people.
However, being close did not mean that he was one of General Shogun's people. Kuang Tie had caused so much trouble in Hangzhou, and even involved the people of the Tarot Card Association. Even Wang Haisheng would not be able to handle it. He would probably have to constantly explain to the higher-ups in the next two days.
"About the owner of this steam pistol …" Mo Hai, who was behind Kuang Tie, suddenly spoke. When they had gotten the gun, Kuang Tie had recognized it immediately. He would never forget this weapon that had almost taken his life. This meant that Sword Four of the Tarot Card Association had been killed by Li Xiang. Then, the item that he had traded with Kuang Tie had probably also fallen into Li Xiang's hands.
This was the real reason why he had accompanied Kuang Tie here. He could not afford to lose the item. If he locked down the city now, there might still be a chance to keep Li Xiang. However, looking at Wang Haisheng, it was impossible.
"Well, Major Mo Hai, Young Master Kuang Tie, this matter ends here. I have also handed in the body of the Tarot Card Association. You two, I will treat it as if you have never been here. This time, I will not pursue this matter because of General Shogun's face. I hope that you can restrain yourself in the future. Not only Hangzhou, but Black City also sent a similar message. You should know that now the military is also investigating internally. If you really provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked, even General Shogun can't protect you. "
Wang Haisheng's fingers paused. The last sentence was said to the arrogant Kuang Tie. Speaking of which, he quite appreciated this young man at first. Compared to him, his son was too lazy and lacked courage. His daughter's aptitude was not good.
Speaking of his daughter, he had a headache again. He simply waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Seeing that things couldn't be done, the Kuang Tie could only swallow his anger. He stood up and bowed slightly to Wang Haisheng, then left the room with Mo Hai.
At least he got Li Xiang's gun. As long as he took it back during the second phase of training, he could explain it to his foster father. Polar night was a closed training, and that thing was well preserved. There should be no problem.
"Li Xiang …" The Kuang Tie gritted his teeth and left with heavy steps.
As soon as they left, Wang Haisheng reached out and patted his son's head. "Where's your sister? You really don't let me have peace of mind. I heard that she just had sex with that killer? How can I feel at ease to challenge the player's threshold like this? Forget it, after this month, you can go back to the National Military University of China. I will also arrange for your sister to go to other numbered cities to be an airship pilot to gain experience. Don't give me any more trouble! "
"Yes." When Young Master Wang heard the words National Military University of China, his face became worried. He lowered his head and responded with a few words. He then raised his head and asked, "Oh right, Dad, is that Kuang Tie and the people from the Tarot Card Association …"
"Don't ask what you don't dare to ask! There are some things that you can't come into contact with. Remember to forget everything that happened today! Remember this well. When you go to the National Military University of China, don't interact with people like the Kuang Tie who came from the National Military University of China. Their circle is a man-eating circle. Your father can't even get along well, let alone you. If you have the time, go and interact more with the young lady of the Bai Family, do you hear me? "Wang Haisheng's face fell. Young Master Wang hurriedly nodded in agreement.
