Why do I have so many masters?

As for the last statement.

Xu Sixing, ten years ago, was introduced into a rather secretive Jianghu organization, or was controlled, semi-willingly and semi-forced to challenge that Pillar of the State, and pushed him to exert his Full Strength.

As for the deeper motives, no one knows.

Thoughts kept surging in Sikou Tingfeng's mind, her expression remained indifferent, hiding emotions, and it was impossible to guess what she was thinking. Li Qidao walked over, looked at the unmoving Xu Sixing, and couldn't help but suck his teeth and said:

"Tragic, really tragic."

Then examined him again and praised:

"Black, truly black."

Wang Anfeng felt a strange sense of guilt, like doing something wrong and meeting an elder. It was unclear whether Li Bo was admiring the unique skin color of this notorious Fourth Rank little Grandmaster, or was saying that he was ruthless enough.

Li Qidao shook his head and sighed:

"It seems like he washed with lightning directly, otherwise it wouldn't be so even..."

Wang Anfeng showed no expression.

Hmm, definitely the first one.

As thoughts shifted in his mind, Wang Anfeng coughed lightly to change the subject and also to discuss this matter with Li Qidao, to understand the affairs about the Dongfang Clan, and contemplated a bit, saying:

"Li Bo, the conflict between me and Xu Sixing this time was mainly because he abducted a young woman. For this, I chased him for half the night, and finally intercepted him outside the city, barely preventing his escape."

Sikou Tingfeng instinctively looked at Wang Anfeng upon hearing this.

Then she looked at Xu Sixing and fell into deep thought.

Just for a young woman, likely the first time they met, would he actually use heavenly thunder to thoroughly cleanse someone?!

It turns out, the Divine Martial Mansion Master is such a man.

A second thought immediately arose.

Should I tell Xue Qinshuang?

This thought was almost immediately suppressed by Sikou Tingfeng, and a rare sense of delight arose in her heart. Her expression remained indifferent, showing no signs, quietly listening to Wang Anfeng's story.

Li Qidao and others didn't notice that Sikou Tingfeng, who initially intended to leave, stopped, raised a white eyebrow, and shifted focus from Xu Sixing, with a slightly amused look, signaling Wang Anfeng to continue.

Wang Anfeng succinctly stated:

"She is from the Dongfang Clan."

He initially wanted to say Dongfang Ningxin, but even though the name had lost its original meaning, becoming a symbolic existence in these times. For Wang Anfeng, those four characters represented his mother, plainly stating them felt awkwardly strong, hence he paused and changed his expression before speaking.

Sikou Tingfeng maintained a cold expression, and another thought quickly arose in her mind.

It's a young beautiful girl from the Dongfang Clan.

Thinking of Xue Qinshuang's possible reaction, Sikou Tingfeng silently moved half a step closer.

With the chin slightly raised, she kept a calm expression like a clear autumn sky, devoid of waves or ripples.

Upon hearing Wang Anfeng mention the slight hesitation and emphasis on the word 'Dongfang', Li Qidao's previous nonchalance and the obscure sense of relief on his face, as if realizing the silly elk finally figured out how to pursue white cabbage from another family, instantly vanished, showing a change of expression, blurting out:

"Dongfang?!"

Wang Anfeng nodded.

Li Qidao immediately followed:

"Where is she?!"

Wang Anfeng pointed to the black charcoal beside him, saying: "Due to Xu Sixing's actions, she and I were separated. Now Miss Gong Yu is bringing her back, she should have arrived."

Li Qidao said: "The Qi Mechanism of Miss Gong is below, Anfeng, come with me."

After speaking, he placed a hand on Wang Anfeng's shoulder, and the latter's Qi Mechanism and spiritual aura instinctively resisted, but were immediately dissipated. Then, a flash of lightning, moving at a speed Middle Third Rank Martial Artists could not perceive with the naked eye, swept through the inn's corridor and across the aging wooden stairs, appearing on the inn's first floor.

Sikou Tingfeng glanced at the now empty room, turned, and walked out slowly. From this position, going left leads to the stairs, while going to the right leads to the guest rooms. If there's no mistake, Xue Qinshuang should be inside.

According to logic, she should now inform Xue Qinshuang about these matters.

Tell her about last night's events, so she can prepare early.

But downstairs, the former Divine Martial Mansion's first War General, a famous general on the World's Famous Generals List, and the current Divine Martial Mansion Master, along with the young, beautiful Dongfang Clan lady saved by the Mansion Master, there may be information that must be said.

It was for understanding reasons from Jianghu elders of the previous generation, the future leaders of top Jianghu forces, and the sudden emergence of one of the four major Noble Clans.

The importance was self-evident.

Sikou Tingfeng, with a cold expression, showed no hesitation, walking towards the stairway, then noticing a shred of joy in her heart, slightly paused, coughing lightly, earnestly muttering to herself.

This is not for watching a spectacle.

But as a duty of the First Estate disciple, to pay attention to the world's secrets.

It's the pride of being the Number One Manor in the World's Direct Disciple!

Sikou Tingfeng, face remaining calm, slightly lifted her chin, and went down the stairs.

......

The innkeeper with three layers of chins only felt a blur in front of his eyes. Suddenly, there were two more people at the counter; if yesterday hadn't been August 15th, but rather July 15th, he would have likely screamed.
