Between the execution grounds, the melee was still continuing. The three Green Sword Sect middle stage masters who had appeared from the north had already pounced onto the execution platform and rescued the six Green Sword Sect prisoners.
The old man among them, his body trembling, still sternly said to his own children: "Didn't I tell you! I told you not to come back!"
The young swordsman who had killed the fake Lu Gaosheng carried his father on his back, saying: "Father, we have collaborated with the Black Dragon Hall. This time we will definitely be able to kill the treacherous Lu! Not only do we want to kill him, the government troops here can't fully deploy, I discussed it with my senior martial brother, we also want to save you!"
The old man was shocked and angry, saying: "What! The Black Dragon Hall! You actually collaborated with underworld figures...."
The swordsman interrupted: "Father! What time is it now! Are you still sticking to these outdated rules? Underworld, lawful, whoever is willing to kill the treacherous Lu and save the common folk is our comrade!"
Gripping his sword, looking at the group of approaching officers, the swordsman said in a low voice: "If you want to hit me, scold me, then wait until we break out before talking!"
But what the swordsmen didn't know was that this whole scene was being watched clearly by a man in black on the top floor of a tall building to the west.
The building was seven stories high. The man was sitting calmly at the highest point, overlooking everything in the distance.
On the man's right hand, there was a white jade cloud pattern thumb ring.
Lu Gaosheng!
He smiled as he watched those Green Sword Sect members covered in blood, with only one elderly servant dressed as a steward keeping him company.
Rubbing his thumb over his index finger as he watched those Jianghu people fighting desperately, Lu Gaosheng felt it was quite interesting.
"Sir, the archers have been ready for a while, why..."
Lu Gaosheng smiled and interrupted the old steward's question, saying: "No rush, I'm still waiting. The one I'm waiting for still hasn't arrived. Let's continue watching these so-called Jianghu heroes and chivalrous people performing a heroic drama on the stage I set up. Don't you think it's interesting to watch, Uncle Lin?"
The elderly servant dressed as a steward responded: "If you say it's interesting, Sir, then it must be interesting."
Lu Gaosheng also asked: "Oh yes, Uncle Lin. I want to drink some tea. Go downstairs to bring me some."
Uncle Lin said: "Yes sir."
As he walked to the edge of the rooftop pavilion and was about to go downstairs, Lu Gaosheng suddenly spoke again...
"Oh yes, Uncle Lin. Over these years, with you monitoring me in my residence on behalf of the magistrate, what have you told the magistrate?"
Time seemed to stop.
The steward who had his back turned, the disbelief in his widened eyes was apparent.
When did he find out!
Yet Lu Gaosheng was still gazing into the distance at the execution grounds, seemingly as if nothing had happened.
After quite a while, Lu Gaosheng finally said: "But I don't mind. Go on downstairs, Uncle Lin. Oh yes, I brought quite a few stewards and servants from my residence. After all they are your people too. The food here at the Star Sea Building is not bad. Go order some food for them."
After all, it's best to have a full stomach before setting off.
The stunned steward turned and looked at Lu Gaosheng's back. A chill went down his spine.
But there was no time to think further.
A blade chopped off the steward's head.
At the same time, a wild voice rang out in the building: "Lord Lu, the Black Dragon Hall is here to pay you a visit!"
Lu Gaosheng, standing on the seventh floor rooftop pavilion of the Star Sea Building, still looked towards the execution grounds. But the corners of his mouth curved up in a smile...
The one he was waiting for had arrived.
The one who killed the old steward was a middle-aged man, with a black dragon tattoo on his exposed arm. The long saber in his hand was covered in blood. As he walked up to the seventh floor, over twenty people in black attire followed behind him.
These men in black were all spattered with blood. It was apparent that all of Lu Gaosheng's family servants and guards originally stationed in the building had been completely wiped out.
But all of this was within Lu Gaosheng's expectations.
The only thing Lu Gaosheng didn't expect was that with his hearing, these Black Dragon Hall members were able to kill their way up to the sixth floor before he noticed them.
But regarding the secret of his hearing, Lu Gaosheng was confident that no one else knew about it except for those he completely trusted.
Lu Gaosheng turned around, smiling at the man with the black dragon tattoo on his arm, saying: "You must be the Hall Master of Black Dragon Hall. You look younger than I imagined."
The Black Dragon Hall Master said coldly: "Actually, between us and Lord Lu, things wouldn't have reached this stage. After all there is unlimited money to be made. It's best for you officials and us outlaws to work together, isn't it? Unfortunately Lord Lu was unwilling. So I can only act on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of commoners in Tian Ruo prefecture and replace the Lord."
Lu Gaosheng laughed loudly...
Playing with the white cloud thumb ring on his hand, Lu Gaosheng mocked: "Why do you feel that you have the qualifications and ability to stand in this manner before me, Lu Gaosheng? Do you think the officials and outlaws are equal?"
The Black Dragon Hall Master laughed loudly and arrogantly said: "Why not? Don't blame me for telling you this, but your scheme to lure the Green Sword Sect members, we had long seen through it. We also made a deal with them earlier for them to lure away your highly skilled guards, then we would take care of you, Lord Lu. Of course, who Lord Lu's death should be blamed on, we have also already made arrangements."
But Lu Gaosheng laughed even harder...
The Black Dragon Hall Master finally seemed to sense something amiss.
But after swiftly considering the current circumstances, he was still confident of victory in his grasp.
At most Lu Gaosheng only had twenty something ground stage masters under him. But they had all been lured away to deal with the Green Sword Sect members.
Even if Lu Gaosheng had arranged some government troops in the vicinity, in such a busy marketplace, it would be impressive to arrange a hundred of them. But even if there were a hundred upper stage martial warriors, how could they be a match for their twenty something ground stage masters?
In street and alley battles, numbers didn't matter as much.
Moreover, they were in a seven-story high building. What wings could a scholar who didn't even know any martial arts or lightness techniques fly away with?
Thinking of this, the Black Dragon Hall Master felt even more reassured.
Yet Lu Gaosheng said: "What you said makes sense. But have you thought of this? If I didn't set up this scheme and send all of the highly skilled experts from my residence away, would you all have come? And if you all didn't come, would those Green Sword Sect members still be willing to risk death by execution just to obstruct my subordinates?"
The Black Dragon Hall Master wasn't stupid. Hearing these words, he froze immediately.
Could it be...
Lu Gaosheng turned around and added: "Let me remind you again. Not knowing martial arts or lightness techniques doesn't mean one can't jump down from a high building."
As he spoke, Lu Gaosheng unexpectedly leapt off the high building!
The Black Dragon Hall Master rushed forward immediately. Lowering his head for a look, he saw two gold-clothed masked men suddenly appearing from a slightly shorter building across the way. With a leap, they flew out with their lightness techniques, saving Lu Gaosheng!
Clearly this was all prearranged.
Right after, more anomalies occurred. All around the eaves of the buildings surrounding the Star Sea Tower, batches of gold-clothed men continuously emerged, surrounding the Star Sea Building entirely.
The Black Dragon Hall Master, who had been mixing in the underworld for many years, looked at the coin emblem behind those gold-clothed men, and slowly pronounced: "Jin Wan...Pavilion!!"
As famous in the north frontiers and regions near the Black Sky Gate of Great Wu as the An Lou building, and occupying a third of those vast northern frontiers alongside them, the third largest underworld organization of Great Wu - Jin Wan Pavilion!
At this moment, the Black Dragon Hall guardians and Hall Master were truly panicking!
Lu Gaosheng, standing safely on the slightly shorter building across from the Star Sea Building, looked back with a smile on his face.
Lu Gaosheng said: "Did the Hall Master previously feel that with a seven-story tower, no one could escape down without lightness techniques? Well I wanted to tell you that I actually thought the same too. This seven-story tower was the death trap I prepared for you. Oh yes, let me also remind you that sometimes, whether one can descend from a tower or not has nothing to do with lightness techniques."
As his voice fell, the surrounding gold-clothed men all took out bows and crossbows. And from within the Star Sea Building came sounds of activity too. Clearly not only were there Jin Wan Pavilion archers with golden clothes outside, but Jin Wan Pavilion members had also already entered the Star Sea Building at this moment!
Attacked from both outside and within.
"Master, there is no use thinking about going back now. By this time, JinWan Pavilion must have already made a move against all your Black Dragon Hall's footholds in the city. Your father, the old master of Black Dragon Hall, is probably desperately resisting, but sadly for him, you as the new master have brought all the top experts here with you. So for that old master of yours... how pitiful..."
Lu Gaosheng mocked and laughed loudly as he turned to enter the building.
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
