The hall became silent. In a guest room of the north mansion, the Peony Fairy was sitting on a chair and watching Xiao Bing shouting in the monitor. Beside Zhu Mingyu, a few other martial men were standing next to her.

A short man bent and asked with a sharp voice, “Fairy, so we will do nothing to him?”

Though the Peony Fairy was called the North Heavenly Queen, she preferred being called fairy.

She laughed, “What do you want to do? He’s very powerful, so is that man behind him.”

The man put on a sinister smile, “We have many men who can be his equal. Besides, we can kill him with a gun. A gun can kill the most powerful man.”

The Peony Fairy spoke in an indifferent voice, “Mingyu, what do you think?”

Zhu Mingyu answered, “I’m 60% sure that we can kill him. The chance maybe even higher because this is our property.”

“Okay.”

“But the latest news is that Xie Lun’s life is still at risk. If he is dead, our cooperation with the Xie Family will be invalid. I don’t think we should take our efforts to kill this man for Xie Lun. We will lose many men if we have to do that.

“You have a point…” said the Peony Fairy, “But won’t I be looked down upon if people know that I let him go like that?”

“No. We can tell them that we weren’t at home when Xiao Bing came. How can we be disgraceful?” said he with composure, “and we can tell them that we have issued a wanted notice after we came back. So that the underground will all see him as an enemy. Whoever brings Xiao Bing’ head to us will get a prize of one million.”

“What do you mean?” asked Peony Fairy.

“It’s simple. We are capable of killing this man at this moment. However, the Northern Manor will lose many men judging by these two’s power. And our losses will outweigh the gain if we lose one or two masters of martial art… Though the four kings are at peace with each other now under Master Hou’s gaze, we can’t make sure that the other three kings won’t harbor any unfriendly thought under that situation. So I think the best way out of it is to make conciliation with him and find an appropriate time to kill him.”

“If the underground power of the north section sees him as an enemy, it’s highly possible for the people around him to be influenced, even he’s not afraid of the underground. And I heard that the owner of the noodle house shares a good relationship with him… So he has to sue for peace. This way, not only will we keep our face, but we also will save our strength. We can find a better chance to kill him so that we can minimize our loss.”

The Peony Fairy closed her eyes and kept silent, which made others have to be quiet as well. They were waiting for her command. If she asked them to fight, they would try their best to tear Xiao Bing apart even if they were not his match. And if she took Zhu Mingyu’s advice, they would just wait and see.

Eventually, she spoke with composure, “All of you can go now. Don’t confront him or go there. Let him do what he wants to do.”

“Yes.” Except for Zhu Mingyu, the four people all left the room.

The Peony Fairy asked after they left, “Do you know why I listened to you?”

“No.”

“Because you once said that you could not see through him… And today I found that he was unfathomable as you said and I could not see through him as well. So I think we’d better make peace with him now if it is possible… In case the other three kings take advantage of it.”

Zhu Mingyu sighed, “Peony, I don’t think we should be the underground anymore. To be honest, are you delighted after you killed so many men? Do you think it’s worthwhile changing you into who you are now for that men?”

“Get out!” Seeming mad, Peony Fairy suddenly pointed at the door, even if Zhu Mingyu could not see her clearly. She used every effort to shout out, “Get the fuck out!”

Looking powerless, Zhu Mingyu headed toward the door and faded in the dark after he opened the door.

Xiao Bing shouted several times, and no one responded. He laughed and said, “Well, well, well. What a queen you are! You are so generous. Then we will not be courteous. Dumbass, let’s smash!”

“Okay. Wait. Smash what?”

“Anything you see you can smash, except for these people. Smash all of these. If they fight back, you can smash them as well.”

Dumbass nodded feverishly and began smashing things in the hall. He was powerful and broke everything he saw no matter it was a table, a chair, or a vast. Anything that could be lifted was smashed into pieces. All the guards just stood there, doing nothing but watching the hall being destroyed.

After everything was not intact anymore, Dumbass said with excitement, “Brother Bing, I need more fun. Is there anything else that can be smashed?”

Grinning, Xiao Bing suddenly stepped forward. He looked up and cast a glance at one of the pillar. Then he took a deep breath and punched on it. The pillar instantly cracked from the middle and began to fall. Astonished, the guards started running out in a flurry.

Dumbass laughed, “Watch me.”

Then he put his arms around a pillar and roared with his loud voice. Soon, the pillar was sheared off in the middle and gradually fell down.

Xiao Bing laughed again as the entire hall began to tremble. He approached the third pillar and broke it with his fist. Xiao Bing took a glimpse at Dumbass and shouted, “Dumbass, let’s get out!”

They left the hall fast, and then the entire hall collapsed soon after they went out. The Heavenly Queen Hall, which was magnificent once, soon turned into dust.

Peony Fairy, who was watching the monitor, slapped on the handle of the chair and stood up. She had thought that Xiao Bing would smash things to vent his anger, but she would never have expected that the hall would be ruined. It was a great shame and she would never forget it.

She shouted, “Guards!”

Then two guards trotted in. Peony Fairy’s eyes gleamed with killing intent. But she hesitated and recalled the words Zhu Mingyu just said. Eventually, she waved her hands to the guards and asked them to leave. “Xiao Bing, I’ll wait for a perfect time to kill you.”

Xiao Bing destroyed the Heavenly Queen Hall and left with Dumbass. No one in the famous Northern Manor stopped them. They let them go peacefully. Though Dumbass kept shouting with excitement, Xiao Bing did not seem very happy, because his goal was not achieved. The North Heaven Queen, Peony Fairy was patient enough to decide not to show up.

But anyway he destroyed her hall and his anger was partly vented out. He decided to deal with the rest of it later.

Xiao Bing had thought to keep searching in the mansion. But he calmed himself down after the anger faded. Xiao Bing realized that his actions today were slightly impulsive. He did not know well of the strength of the North Heaven Queen and this was her property. Although he was not afraid of them, it would be bad if he stayed a little longer and got Dumbass hurt.

The two walked a long way before they found a taxi after they had left the hall. Xiao Bing took Dumbass to barbecue as he promised. They seated themselves in a booth and ordered lots of roasted meat and a case of beer. Then they started drinking.

“Brother Bing, thank you for taking me out for fun. It’s been a long time since I was so happy. I can beat whoever I want and smash whatever I want. Brother Bing, I will follow you since now. It is fun to follow you.”

Xiao Bing raised his cup and they drank up the beer in their cup. He smiled and asked, “Do you really want to follow me? You don’t want to go anywhere else?”

“Yes. I’m a village boy. I don’t know this city or the people in it. Who else can I follow except you? I’ll do whatever you tell me from now no. I don’t know great reasons, but I can tell that you will never harm me. So I’m willing to follow you.”

Xiao Bing sighed and put up a smile, “You can follow me in the future. You can work in the noodle house. When the expansion finishes, there will be new staff. By that time, you don’t need to do anything else but stop anyone from making trouble for the noodle house.

“Like a bodyguard? I will suffer from that.”

Xiao Bing grinned and said in a stern voice, “Now I have offended some people and I might offend more in the days to come. It’s unavoidable that people will come and make trouble. So it is not an easy job.”

“My mom said that I was very powerful and I should defend justice.”

Xiao Bing grinned, “Did you mom tell you what kind of a girl you will marry?”

Dumbass giggled while rubbing his head, “My mom said that although I look foolish, fortune favors fools. Maybe a pretty girl will be fooled by my stupid appearance and fall in love with me. She said that there were so many pretty girls in this country and perhaps one or two of them were blind.”

Xiao Bing had poured wine and drunk with the flies. Hearing this, he turned around and spat the beer aside. He slapped on the table and laughed out loud, “I should pay a visit to your mother one day. She’s interesting.”

Dumbass seemed depressed. He lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. He said as if he was crying, “My mother is dead.”
