Chapter 1264: Chapter 488: Holding Someone Accountable (3)
If a fight truly breaks out, rumors will spread that Song Jiangshen framed others, causing the Qi Family and Nanhai Alliance to split.
This responsibility is something he cannot bear.
Nevertheless, even a single Gao Guiyuan is not enough to make the two of them stop.
Fortunately, Gao Guiyuan knew his own limitations and turned to look at the Great Elder:
“Great Elder… can you take a look?”
“Hmm…”
Mei Xuesong mused slightly: “The words of the Eldest Young Master are correct; now is not the time for vengeance for enemies and pain for loved ones.
“Elder Qi just now said something that resonated deeply with me.
“The Alliance Hierarch has a discerning eye for right and wrong.
“Now, we must first think of a way to treat the Alliance Hierarch.”
“That’s more reasonable… since the Great Elder has said so.”
Song Jiangshen took advantage of the situation and immediately said:
“Then for today, let’s set this matter aside, yet, Qi Dingtian… this is not over.
“The attack on the Alliance Hierarch, your Qi Family cannot escape responsibility.”
“Song Jiangshen! You must know, your Lingshen Sect is not Linpi Sect, why are you speaking such nonsense?
“Qi Family cannot escape responsibility, yet your Lingshen Sect is completely clean?
“You were supposed to be protecting the Alliance Hierarch; when the assassin struck just now, your guards were useless, and you also can’t escape blame.”
At this, Qi Dingtian stepped forward:
“Step aside, so that I may assess the Alliance Hierarch’s injuries.”
Song Jiangshen was so furious that he stomped his feet, but in the end, he held back with clenched teeth.
No matter what happened on the boat, those below could no longer see.
In the end, they only knew that Gao Tianqi was gravely injured and unconscious, for the moment not having woken.
Qi Dingtian used the excuse of ‘the boat is not suitable for recovery’ to invite Gao Tianqi and others to Tianqi Island, into the Qi Mansion, inviting renowned doctors from the island to the mansion to treat Gao Tianqi.
The commotion at the dock resulted in this temporary conclusion.
Su Mo and others followed the crowd back to the Qi Family.
Inside the hall.
Su Mo and others each took a seat.
Wei Ziyi occasionally glanced outside the door, her brows furrowed.
“Since it wasn’t Evil Su who did this, and grandfather has no reason for such reckless act in between.
“Then there’s only one possibility for this matter.
“Gao Tianqi staged this himself.
“He got severely injured this time to advance by retreating.
“The various preparations grandfather made might not be able to be executed now.”
“Don’t worry, Ziyi.”
Yang Xiaoyun smiled and said:
“This outcome is actually more favorable for us.”
Wei Ziyi nodded:
“I naturally understand this…
“It’s just that I don’t understand, how Gao Tianqi after this move of advancing by retreating, will act next?
“Moreover…”
She said this and looked at Su Mo:
“No one knows if the one wounded is truly Gao Tianqi.”
“Hu Niu made an excellent point.”
Su Mo smiled: “As for what Gao Tianqi will do after being injured…
“In my opinion, he plans to take advantage of this opportunity.
“As for how he will take advantage… I think we will know soon enough.”
As he said this, someone suddenly called at the door from outside the courtyard.
Outside, Zhen Xiaoxiao heard and opened the courtyard door, slightly startled:
“So many people? What’s going on?”
“Move aside!”
A middle-aged man saw a large fat guy blocking his way, reached out intending to push him, and shouted:
“Where is Su Mo?”
This person, skilled in martial arts, reached out thinking that although this fat boy was large, he would have to move aside.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Xiaoxiao directly grabbed this middle-aged man’s wrist.
His small eyes glared fiercely:
“Why are you pushing me?”
The middle-aged man was astonished, then furious:
“Let go!”
Inner strength turned, intending to escape from Zhen Xiaoxiao’s grasp.
Yet, Zhen Xiaoxiao’s five fingers, like clubs, tightly clutched his wrist, showing no intention of letting go, merely angrily saying:
“Who are you?
“Why are you looking for our Master?”
“What business is it to you why I’m looking for him? You fat pig, aren’t you…
The middle-aged man’s face turned dark, his words cut short by a sudden snap.
Zhen Xiaoxiao exerted force, causing the wrist bones to crack audibly; a tear flew from his eye in pain:
“You… you…”
Before he could finish, he struck out with his palm:
“You’re courting death!”
Zhen Xiaoxiao roared back furiously: “You dare call me fat pig? Master told me, whoever calls me fat pig, I should hit them!!”
Seeing the palm strike approaching, Zhen Xiaoxiao raised his other hand and swung down fiercely.
The middle-aged man looked up, stunned.
In the other hand of Zhen Xiaoxiao was a One-legged copper man!
Striking Zhen Xiaoxiao might yield unknown results, but being hit by the copper man means certain death.
He quickly withdrew his hand, raising it to protect his head.
There came a crisp snap sound!
The bone broke again, the copper man pressing his hand down hard, landing squarely on his shoulder.
Another snap, the shoulder blade broke.
The entire body bent slightly under the weight of the copper man.
In a quick effort to save face, he steadied himself.
“Hmm? Still strong.”
Zhen Xiaoxiao looked at him, surprised, then smiled:
“Let’s try again.”
Then without lifting the copper man, he merely continued to apply pressure.
The man was pressed until his face changed, features twisted.
Blood began to flow out from his seven orifices.
Because of the use of inner strength, his feet began to sink into the bluestone beneath, inch-by-inch.
The group behind him was all stunned.
Others might not know this middle-aged man’s identity, but they did.
This man was a Deputy Leader under Gao Tianqi.
His martial arts exceptionally skilled.
Though not as good as Zhang Fang and Yu Tong from that day at Yusheng Island.
In the Jianghu, he was a well-known figure.
Their trip to find Su Mo was intended to bring accusations.
Hence the aggressive demeanor.
Unexpectedly, before entering the door, a fat guy with a one-legged copper man stopped him cold.
Now the problem before them was…
Should they help?
Usually, this Deputy is quite proud, never allowing help in a fight.
Anyone assisting would undoubtedly anger him.
Thus, if he needed help, he wouldn’t say…
But now, nearly planted into the ground, he remained silent.
Does this mean he’s still capable?
