CHAPTER 1331: CHAPTER 1322: HIDEOUT

"Alright, prepare a car to take these two esteemed guests home!" the man in black said harshly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a perceptive underling quickly drove a car over from the villa, then hurriedly got out, leaving his seat for the leader. However, this action embarrassed the man in black a bit. He wished he could scold the guy for being redundant; was he supposed to escort guests himself?

He just wanted to send a subordinate to take them away, to distance this dangerous entity from himself, so he could keep living. But since his underling had already acted this way, he had no choice; he couldn’t exactly step aside and risk upsetting the big boss, or everyone present would be dead.

The car weaved back and forth through the mountainous paths, following various routes and coordinates enough to confuse an ordinary person, showing just how secretive this hideout was. Probably no one would come to such a place. The three people in the car didn’t exchange a word, Ren Tianye didn’t smoke either; he seemed to be mulling over something.

As they were about to reach Ci Xin’s little loft, Ren Tianye stopped the car, indicating they would continue on foot.

"Alright, you can drop us off here," Ren Tianye suddenly said, turning around.

"Uh, okay," the man in black replied, somewhat surprised; although he didn’t understand what kind of scheme they had, he dared not speak further.

"You won’t speak carelessly after going back, will you?" Ren Tianye asked with a cheeky smile, evidently addressing the man in black.

"Mr. Ren, rest assured, I swear I won’t utter a word, not even if it costs my life," the man in black hurried to pledge, showing his loyalty.

"Alright then," Ren Tianye coldly remarked, "then die!" He suddenly grabbed the man in black’s neck with both hands, exerting slight pressure, making the poor guy unable to breathe. Initially, he tried to struggle, but eventually, his eyes bulged, and he suffocated to death!

"I wouldn’t trust a traitor who betrayed his former master," Ren Tianye said sinisterly. This man in black was already beyond redemption, and given how ruthlessly he killed, like a venomous snake, you never know when he’ll strike. Therefore, it’s best to nip it in the bud.

"Dead men tell no tales, right?" Ren Tianye chuckled lightly, the demeanor of a seasoned butcher reflected in his eyes, unconcerned about taking lives.

Hua Zeqian was silent, utterly shocked, first stunned by the man in black’s ruthlessness, now by Ren Tianye. Despite her extensive experience, she couldn’t help but admire the brutality of these two; their methods were disturbingly proficient—it wasn’t any simple person.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yifei and the two others in the courtyard were completely unaware of the recent bloodshed near them. They were still worried about the success of their next tactic, when suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ci Xin and Ren Tianxing tensed up, instinctively assuming a fighting stance, but Xiao Yifei smiled calmly: they had returned, never expected this plan to work so well..."

The three rushed to the door to welcome them back; upon meeting, emotions ran high, especially for the mother-daughter reunion, causing Xiao Yifei some awkward amusement. Ci Xin expressed her gratitude to the brothers, knowing that without them, Hua Zeqian’s return would have been uncertain.

Hearing that Ren Tianye had neutralized a key figure of the organization, Xiao Yifei was thrilled and laughed loudly, "Hahaha... this is great, since that mysterious organization loves to act arbitrarily, let’s teach them a lesson and see if they can be more restrained in the future."

"Xiao brother, thanks to your secret technique this time," Ren Tianye smiled. It was fortunate they had Xiao Yifei’s help; otherwise, he couldn’t have returned safely or vented this anger.

"No, no, Mr. Ren, I didn’t expect you to be so formidable..." Xiao Yifei replied with a smile.

"Ah, I still have some catching up to do, Xiao brother. If you ever need assistance in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out to me and my brother; we can offer whatever modest help we can," Ren Tianye said with a laugh, recognizing Xiao Yifei’s potential and backing, foreseeing that one day this golden dragon will rise to greatness!

"Hahaha... thank you both for your kindness," Xiao Yifei replied, accepting their offer of support, seizing the opportunity to expand his network and resources.

"..." Seeing Lin Mu’s agreement, Ren Tianye and Ren Tianxing exchanged a grateful smile, though a moment of hesitation appeared in their eyes, as if they wished to say something aloud.

"Speak freely, both big brothers," Xiao Yifei, a sharp observer, quickly sensed their hesitance and guessed they might need his help, prompting him to respond, "I will certainly be of full assistance wherever I’m needed."

"Uh, uh..." Ren Tianye briefly paused before resolutely speaking, "My brother and I actually have a plan. Thanks to Xiao Yifei’s help, our power has greatly improved, and with our unique cultivation techniques, we can defeat most masters..."

Xiao Yifei nodded silently, acknowledging the possibility. Back on Ancient Earth, even the current Xiao Family Head, Xiao Zhentian, couldn’t necessarily match these two; it seemed few could rival them worldwide.

"So," Ren Tianye paused again, his tone turning serious, "we aim to counterattack and eliminate the organization while it’s weakened."

Hearing Ren Tianye’s decision, Xiao Yifei was indeed surprised, but his suspicion was right; the Ren brothers bore a deep grudge against the Mysterious Organization, ready to strike back soon based on their temperament.

"Hahaha... don’t misunderstand us, Xiao brother," seeing Xiao Yifei’s hesitation, Ren Tianye hurriedly clarified, "we aren’t seeking personal revenge; this organization has done too many malevolent deeds. With our power, we feel obliged to execute justice and eradicate it."

"Not at all," Xiao Yifei quickly waved his hand with a laugh, "I wasn’t doubting your motives; I was just pondering if this time is truly suitable."

Xiao Yifei chuckled and explained, "Honestly, I admire your chivalry, as the saying goes, ’Doctors have a benevolent heart.’ Our Xiao Family adheres to the principle of helping people with our medical skills, much like your chivalrous spirit."

"Your words also reminded me," Xiao Yifei said, slightly ashamed, "I’ve been deep in cultivation lately, forgetting our family creed... with great power comes great responsibility, a lesson I must remember..."

Suddenly, he changed his tone helplessly, "But, my brothers, with traitorous officials ruling the country and wars at the borders, if we exert our main strength to ’settle internals,’ we might have no power left to ’expel externals’..."
