Chapter 527: Chapter 518: Truly Grateful and Seeking to Repay the Favor?

Wenn Sheng walked on the road, unable to calm his mind. This time, as the Vice Commander leading these young people on a hunting expedition, he hadn’t expected to end up in such a situation. After hearing the words of the young woman, Wenn Sheng let out a long sigh, shook his head, and said,

"I still haven’t figured out how to deal with this! If things go wrong this time, our Tough Mercenary Corps might just disappear from Starshine City."

The young woman, after listening to Wenn Sheng’s words, thought for a moment and then followed up by saying, "You can’t hide the truth forever. So many people in the tavern saw it; the Tai Family will find out sooner or later.

Wenn Sheng, Uncle, in my opinion, we should go to the Tai Family and accuse that man of killing Tai Ke, pushing all the blame onto him. Besides, we should inform the Commander right now that that person has a white tiger guardian capable of killing Tai Ke. It would be best to have the Commander personally take action, to help the Tai Family catch this man first, along with his white tiger, and bring them both bound to the Tai Family for punishment!"

"This..." After hearing the woman’s advice, hesitation flickered across the face of Tai Ke.

Seeing Tai Ke’s hesitation, the woman urged, "Uncle Wenn Sheng, this matter concerns the very survival of our Tough Mercenary Corps. We can’t afford to hesitate anymore! Make a decision quickly and notify the Commander!"

Eventually, persuaded by the woman, Tai Ke nodded and sighed, "It seems that’s the only way!"

"Ah!" Just then, Little Yi, who was walking behind Tai Ke and the woman, overheard their conversation and secretly let out a surprised gasp.

...

In the Star Radiance Tavern, Shi Feng and Little Bai, having had their fill of food and drink, left the tavern. By now, it was nearing dusk.

Mounting Little Bai’s back, Little Bai galloped upward into the Void. Once in the Void, Shi Feng saw several scattered clusters of buildings in the distance, likely a few small towns and villages.

But far away, Shi Feng saw a bustling large city; that must be Starshine City.

"Let’s go, Little Bai," Shi Feng said to Little Bai below him.

"Roar!" Little Bai responded with a low roar and galloped toward the bustling large city, Starshine City.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Shi Feng uttered a soft sound of surprise. As they passed a small grove, Shi Feng saw a familiar figure on top of one of the trees.

It was a girl with wheat-colored skin, dressed in a Samura’s robust attire. Though she was young, her clothes outlined her figure vividly. It was the girl from the Tough Mercenary Corps, Little Yi, full of wildness.

At that moment, Little Yi stood atop the tree, waving at Shi Feng above.

"Secretly waiting in this grove, what does she want to do with me? Little Bai, let’s go down and look," Shi Feng instructed Little Bai. Afterwards, Little Bai changed direction, diving down toward the grove.

On top of the tree, Little Yi saw Shi Feng had noticed her and was diving towards her, so she took a leap, jumping into the grove.

Little Bai quickly descended into the forest and landed in front of the young girl, Little Yi. Shi Feng, with a puzzled expression on his face, looked at the wild girl who had arranged to meet him here and asked, "What business do you have bringing me to this place?"

"You need to leave here quickly, and don’t go to Starshine City. Do you realize that great danger is looming over you?" Little Yi began, speaking to Shi Feng.

"Great danger? Are you referring to the Tai Family?" Shi Feng said. However, his face remained composed and indifferent; he truly did not place the Tai Family in his eyes.

"Knowing this, you still dare to go? You killed the Tai Family’s Second Young Master, and they definitely won’t let you off," Little Yi said.

"Those people, I have never taken them seriously," Shi Feng replied unconcernedly, and it was indeed the truth.

"I know you come from a great family, perhaps even larger than the Tai Family. But the Emperor is far away, and distant waters cannot quench immediate thirst! If the Tai Family catches you, they will surely kill you to avenge Tai Ke. By that time, even if your family finds out, it’ll be too late; you will already be dead," Little Yi continued to persuade Shi Feng.

After hearing the young girl’s words, Shi Feng still spoke unconcerned, "Don’t worry, they can’t kill me."

"You! Why are you still like this! It’s infuriating!" Seeing how, after all she said, this man remained impassive and apathetic, the young girl became so frustrated that she started stomping her feet, wishing she could give him a good beating to make him realize the gravity of the situation.

The young girl spoke again, "The Tai Family Head, Tai Cen, Tai Ke’s father, happens to be a Six-star Martial Venerate Realm expert. There are several Martial Venerable powerhouses in the Tai Family. Even if your White Tiger can kill Tai Ke, a Two-star Martial Venerate, it still won’t be a match for Tai Cen and the other Tai Family forces! And... and..."

Having heard the young girl’s words, Shi Feng still appeared unconcerned, but showing interest in what she was about to say next, he asked, "Oh? And what else?"

"Alas!" Hearing Shi Feng inquiring, the young girl sighed deeply and said, "And, our Tough Mercenary Corps, fearing being implicated by you, have already notified the commander. The commander has now left the city, ready to capture you and take you to the Tai Family for them to deal with."

"Oh!" Shi Feng said, his lips curling into a smirk and a cold smile emerging upon hearing the young girl’s words.

"You, you can’t really blame Uncle Wenn Sheng and the others, they are doing this because..." The young girl said, seemingly unsure about how to continue, a guilty expression appearing on her face as she faced Shi Feng.

"Heh, is that so?" Shi Feng laughed, then continued, "Didn’t I make myself clear when you all left? You are free to say that I killed that fellow Tai, and if there’s any issue, just come to me directly! Now, it seems you want to capture me and present me to the Tai Family to claim credit!"

"But... but... we had no choice! If we didn’t do this, the Tai Family might not spare us. Our entire Tough Mercenary Corps, all three hundred and twenty-three of us, could be implicated because of this incident," Little Yi explained.

"Have you forgotten? The reason I clashed with that surnamed Tai was because he ordered all of you to kneel before him. If I had not been there then, have any of you considered your fate? Is this how you repay a kindness?" Shi Feng said coldly.

If Shi Feng hadn’t been present at that time, the Tough Mercenary Corps would have only two choices: fight Tai Ke or kneel before him. But most likely, they would have been beaten half to death by Tai Ke, followed by enduring his humiliation.

"This... this... but, that doesn’t mean you should have killed Tai Ke, causing an irreparable rift with the Tai Family," Little Yi said to Shi Feng’s pressing questions, her confidence waning.

"Little Yi speaks the truth!" Just then, a powerful and robust voice echoed through the forest.
