Lei Zongnan looked at Tang Fei with a face full of astonishment.

Could he be of the same inclination too?

It was hard to tell.

So when he said he took to me right away, it wasn't just talk, but he actually meant it?

He liked my handsome features and strong physique, as well as my high status and authority...

In the eyes of those submissive men, someone like him really did qualify as the top choice in the "uncle" circle.

Otherwise, where did this jealousy and bickering come from?

"You owe me an apology," Tang Fei said with a fierce glare at Lei Zongnan, proudly stating, "You can doubt my character, but you can't question my good looks."

He was just bristling with anger.

He felt that he wasn't much worse than Bai Wuxin, and could at least compete on equal footing.

The choice by Lei Zongnan made him feel like he had lost an edge.

"I'm... sorry..."

Lei Zongnan was still somewhat dazed.

In his life of hardships, he had experienced countless battles big and small, but he had never suffered the experience of being publicly courted by a man.

It made his old heart thump wildly.

Though Tang Fei wasn't as delicately beautiful or coldly stunning as the white-clothed youth, he had his own unique charm...

"..."

Now it was the turn of the bystanders to be dumbstruck.

Society Leader, do you know what you are doing?

Why did you actually apologize?

Everyone knows you have some little hobbies, which isn't anything unusual in the Old Land.

After all, when material enjoyments are scarce, spiritual life is barren.

Those who can, indulge in slightly more perverse pastimes.

Though it's said that one can toil and labor for a beauty, but... have you no sense of shame left?

An Ning couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Not that she couldn't bear to watch the Society Leader, but that she couldn't bear to watch Tang Fei.

She knew Tang Fei was capricious, often uttering shocking remarks and doing astonishing things...

But his behavior today could only be chalked up to learning bad habits during his years in New Star.

The only person on site who was indifferent to this was probably Bai Wuxin.

First, he was aloof by nature, interested in nothing but swordsmanship and revenge.

Second, he understood Tang Fei too well; even if Tang Fei actually sat on Lei Zongnan's lap in public... he would think that it was something this tough guy could indeed do.

Tang Fei was satisfied with Lei Zongnan's attitude, nodded, and said, "Okay, I forgive you."

"..."

Lei Zongnan breathed a sigh of relief.

And yet, the sensation felt weird, as if he was not his little girlfriend, so why did he care about his response?

He had unwittingly allowed Tang Fei to manipulate his emotions.

Were all the people from New Star like this?

Were they familiar with many new positions...

Knowledge?

"Society Leader..." Mr. Yan saw that Lei Zongnan had been led astray into another world by Tang Fei and hurriedly reminded him, "Forget about those trivialities, let's focus on the important business at hand."

"Yes, the important business at hand," Lei Zongnan nodded and said to Tang Fei, "Just these three conditions, if you can do them, we're still friends. Whatever you want, you'll have it. I'll even keep the deputy leader position of the Flame Shrine's Lingyang District open for you."

"If you can't do it... well, you've seen for yourself, my brothers here have rather bad tempers, and I'm afraid the two of you won't be able to leave the Divine Palace today."

His gaze shifted to An Ning, sneering endlessly, "Even the Holy Daughter will be implicated because of you, and it's likely her days within the Shrine won't be easy anymore."

He was now certain that the Holy Daughter was Tang Fei's person, implicated with Tang Fei in this plague incident.

Luckily he had used a trick to lure Tang Fei deep into the Divine Palace using the Holy Daughter.

If he had holed up at Henshan Base, he really would have had no way to deal with him.

Forcing an attack would likely lead to severe losses for his own men.

Now Lei Zongnan felt confident, holding all the aces, believing his victory was nearly guaranteed...

It was like catching a turtle in a jar.

They might only be two people, but here we have twenty people, two hundred, even twenty thousand.

How could I lose?

How could I possibly lose?

"Is this a threat?" Tang Fei asked.

"This is a negotiation," Lei Zongnan said indifferently to Tang Fei's demeanor, "Of course, you may also call it a threat."

"Your offer is too untempting; it's hard to be interested," Tang Fei said with a look of difficulty.

"Too untempting? What do you want?" Lei Zongnan asked.

If he wanted him, perhaps he'd consider offering himself for a few nights...

But nothing long-term was possible.

He mainly still preferred women.

"How about letting me be Society Leader for a few days?"

"Society Leader?" Lei Zongnan appraised Tang Fei thoughtfully.

How should he interpret this 'being'?

He was somewhat unsure.

"The position of deputy leader is too low for me, I don't like being second-in-command to anyone, I got tired of that in New Star... How about you let me be Society Leader?" Tang Fei earnestly looked at Lei Zongnan and asked.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are, aspiring to be Society Leader?"

"A slut who sells his ass actually dares to dream of rising to the top... I think you no longer wish to live?"

"Society Leader, don't waste words with them, just chop them down... after chopping them down, won't all theirs become ours?"

-------

Lei Zongnan had yet to state his position, but the dozen Black Robes standing behind him could no longer bear it.

They were the trusted direct subordinates of Lei Zongnan; otherwise, they wouldn't be Black Robes, and they wouldn't be able to enter the Divine Palace.

If there were a new Society Leader, who would ensure their interests?

The new Society Leader would definitely promote his own people, and they would have to step aside.

This was something they certainly couldn't accept.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lei Zongnan's mouth as he said, "You're a smart man, so do you really think you have a choice in the matter now?"

"Why wouldn't I have a choice?" Tang Fei retorted.

"I've told you, you're already surrounded by us," Lei Zongnan said, pointing at Mr. Yan and the dozen or so Black Robes by his side. "You can refuse, but the consequences will be severe. I advise against unnecessary actions."

"Why can't it be the two of us who have you surrounded?" Tang Fei asked with a brilliant smile, his eyes curving playfully.

"The two of you?"

Lei Zongnan's heart sank slightly. Could these two be advanced Cultivators?

His gaze swept over Tang Fei and Bai Wuxin, then he relaxed.

A man who looks like that couldn't possibly be well versed in...

How old were they?

Even if they had started training from the womb, they still couldn't be a match for Mr. Yan.

Yes, his biggest reliance was Mr. Yan.

And of course, himself.

How could a man who could become a Lingyang Branch Society Leader not have a few tricks up his sleeve?

"Yes, the two of us," Tang Fei nodded and said. "I also have three conditions now, and it would be best for you not to refuse; otherwise, the consequences will be severe."

"Too arrogant. Too presumptuous."

"I'll chop off their heads right now..."

"Society Leader, I can't take it anymore, just give the order..."

------

Clearly, Tang Fei's actions had infuriated these arrogant Black Robes, causing the malice in their hearts to surge.

Usually, they were the ones saying such things to others, never expecting this youngster, who had hardly grown his fur, to dare speak to them in such a manner.

Lei Zongnan ignored the clamoring Black Robes; he wanted to feel out Tang Fei and his companion a bit more.

"Oh? You have three conditions too? Let's hear them."

"First, I want to be the Society Leader of the Flame Shrine's Lingyang Branch, so you'll need to give me your position."

"Second, allow my people to take over the Divine Palace and deal with the plague virus."

"Third, if you people behave, you'll have food to eat; if you don't, you won't need to eat anymore."

Lei Zongnan clicked his tongue and said, "Are your conditions even more harsh than mine?"

"I understood a principle when I was very young: whoever has the stronger fist is the boss."

"Motherfucker..." Lei Long couldn't listen anymore. He was a distant relative of Lei Zongnan and also one of the Black Robes in the Black Society. Upon hearing Tang Fei's words, he cursed loudly, "No matter how hard your fist is, it can't be as hard as my d*ck... I could knock you dead with a swing of my d*ck, you believe that?"

"We'll have to try it out," Tang Fei said.

At Tang Fei's words, the long sword in Bai Wuxin's hand instantly unsheathed.

A white light flashed.

Lei Long looked down at his crotch.

Then, he let out a piercing cry.

"Ah..."

There was nothing there.

His solid d*ck and thick leather pants had been cleaved off by Bai Wuxin with a single stroke, falling to the ground with a plop.

Blood spurted wildly.

Mr. Yan stared at Bai Wuxin with a sinister look.

He had misjudged.

Bai Wuxin's sword was too fast; by the time he sensed the Sword Intent and wanted to intercept, it was already too late.

These two were tougher than they had anticipated.

That one stroke threw the whole scene into complete chaos.

Someone drew a knife, someone else unsheathed a sword, yet others pulled pistols from their waists...

Everyone prepared to rush forward, to take down Bai Wuxin first, leaving Tang Fei with no choice but to comply.

As for the Society Leader's order to keep the pretty boy alive...

Dead men can stay just as well.

They hadn't let him leave, had they?

Bai Wuxin's gaze was icy, his face frosty.

Given his temperament, he would have just killed all these people.

It's hard to find toads with three legs, but Black Robes with two legs are everywhere.

Yet Tang Fei wanted to negotiate...

If the negotiation failed, then it would be his turn to set the pace.

Bai Wuxin's figure disappeared from the spot, and with each flicker of his long sword, there came a tragic sound.

"Ah..."

"Oh..."

"Mm..."

It sounded quite soul-stirring.

With each strike, he either pierced the heart, cut the throat, or simply chopped off the head.

He left no survivors behind.

These people's words and attitudes had angered him long ago, building up a fire of rage in his heart.

Once he unsheathed his long sword, there was even less reason to show mercy.

Especially since what he practiced was the sword of killing.

These Black Robes, although not weak and including several Cultivators with strength probably above controlling energy but below traversing spirit, were sufficient for bullying men and dominating women up on the Old Land.

But in the eyes of Bai Wuxin, who had broken through the Mountain Gate to become a Grandmaster, they were nothing but a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs...

After he weaved through the crowd, a heap of corpses lay on the ground.

Indeed, not a single one was a worthy opponent.
