A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2252 - 1524

Where is there such a good thing, coming out of prison and being cleaned up just the same? The law judges you as a matter of law, what does it have to do with gang vendettas?

This rule is only spoken by people who care about face, those who don’t care don’t mind whether you’ve retired or not.

Moreover, after retiring, the Heng Mountain Sect is no longer Liu Zhengfeng’s backing. If he doesn’t find new backing, won’t he sooner or later be killed?

Conversely, becoming an official is much better. After all, most people still have some awe for the officials unless there is deep blood vendetta, they won’t casually find trouble with officials.

Furthermore, looking at the rank of Assistant General, it’s not bad. Duanmu Huai asked Wang Yuyan and learned that Assistant General is a Third Rank military official, just below General and Deputy General. It’s not just any ninth rank petty official. It shows Liu Zhengfeng put in a lot of effort for this.

Liu Zhengfeng was also kneeling to thank the decree and then sent the others away.

After this small episode, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, but Liu Zhengfeng didn’t seem to mind. He smiled and invited everyone to sit down, then spoke at length, about becoming an official, not concerning himself with Jianghu affairs, and leaving the Heng Mountain Sect. He then raised his hand, and someone came in carrying a shiny golden basin. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai’s eyes lit up.

"Hey, do you think this basin is pure gold? Or gold-plated?"

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl also looked curiously, while Wang Yuyan was speechless.

"...is this what you’re concerned about, sir?"

"What else can I be concerned with? Retiring was called retiring, but they actually used a golden basin to wash hands... they’re really wealthy..."

Duanmu Huai said this while shaking his head, just waiting for Liu Zhengfeng to retire before enjoying a feast.

But just as Liu Zhengfeng was about to put his hand into the basin, he suddenly heard someone shout sternly from outside the door.

"Stop!"

With this voice, several men in yellow robes walked in, led by one holding a five-colored brocade flag. Seeing this, everyone present was aware that these were people from the Song Mountain Sect within the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

"The Five Mountains Sword Sect’s command flag is here, by order of the Five Mountains Sword Sect’s leader Zuo Lengchan: The matter of Master Liu’s retirement is postponed."

Hearing this, everyone around was surprised, and Liu Zhengfeng was clearly also a bit taken aback.

"What is the purpose of Leader Zuo’s command? If there is any inappropriate aspect, please enlighten me."

"No need."

The disciple holding the command flag waved his hand sharply.

"By the leader’s order, keep an eye on the Liu family, don’t let anyone escape!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Liu Zhengfeng’s face darkened.

"What do you mean by this?"

As he spoke, a dozen more people came out from the back hall, Liu Zhengfeng’s wife, children, and disciples, each with a Songshan Disciple behind them, holding a dagger to their back.

Seeing this, many people frowned; although Liu Zhengfeng wanted to become an official, most people didn’t like this choice, but it was his personal choice. However, now the Song Mountain Sect was being so aggressive, even threatening Liu Zhengfeng’s family, it was really excessive. Liu Zhengfeng’s face turned ashen, glaring viciously at the Songshan Disciples before him, saying.

"Heroes of the land are here; if you dare to harm a hair of my son, the dozens of Songshan Disciples will all become minced meat!"

After saying this, Liu Zhengfeng reached out his hand towards the basin again, and at the same time, a hidden weapon shot abruptly, forcing Liu Zhengfeng to retreat. Several people then leapt down, blocking Liu Zhengfeng.

"By the leader’s command, Master Liu cannot retire!"

Everyone squinted to look, seeing these were all skilled members of the Song Mountain Sect, coming with aggressive momentum. Liu Zhengfeng frowned, looking serious.

"What is the intention of you all, if you want to deal with me, a few people will suffice, but to deal with the Heng Mountain Sect, against the heroes here, Song Mountain Sect is surely not enough!"

Faced with Liu Zhengfeng’s fury, the leading man chuckled.

"Why provoke disputes, Song Mountain Sect dare not bear ill will towards Heng Mountain Sect, nor offend any hero here, we’re here seeking Master Liu not to retire for the safety of millions of fellow martial artists."

Everyone was dumbstruck, thinking Liu Zhengfeng’s retirement, how could it involve the safety of millions of fellow martial artists? Liu Zhengfeng might be a bit famous, but did he have such capacity for a big affair?

Seeing this, the leading Songshan disciple chuckled lightly, was about to speak, when suddenly a voice sounded.

"Stop pretending, at the end of the day, it’s just Zuo Lengchan discovering Liu Zhengfeng has been secretly dealing with Qu Yang, so purposely pulling this trick, wanting to smear Liu Zhengfeng as collaborating with the Sun and Moon Divine Sect."

What?

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, turning to see Duanmu Huai standing up now, coldly looking at the Songshan people.

"I came to feast, I have no time for your Song Mountain Sect gangs’ nonsense, Zuo Lengchan wants to make trouble, but it can’t dare trouble me eating!"

"Your words are wrong..."

Facing Duanmu Huai, the Songshan disciple lost the prior bravado, even trembling in voice, but still steeling himself to speak.
