Chapter Summary
If Lin Lei had surpassed him by too much, Liu Ning would have felt powerless. Shangguan Qingyun was an old fox; he would never make such a low-level mistake. Just moments ago, they had been thinking of attacking the mage, but now they didn't dare utter a sound.
If Lin Lei continued to perform so exceptionally well, Liu Ning would probably feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing Lin Lei wipe the sweat from his forehead, Liu Ning finally understood. It turned out that Lin Lei had been nervous earlier. If Lin Lei had surpassed him by too much, Liu Ning would have felt powerless. This Lin Lei was the real Lin Lei. After all, his age was a factor. Even if he had seen many big scenes before, he absolutely could not afford to be nervous in this situation. If he were even slightly nervous, did he think the other party wouldn't notice? Shangguan Qingyun was an old fox; he would never make such a low-level mistake.
“I thought you were born this way. If you were so cunning, I wouldn’t dare consider you a friend. You might just betray me at any time. I’ll send my men out to investigate right away. I won’t send them specifically to that place; they’ll definitely conduct a large-scale search of the surrounding area. When we choose this place, it will be more plausible. We can create the illusion that we just arrived here, making these people less suspicious of us.”
Liu Ning was a smart man. Lin Lei had already done all the previous work. If Liu Ning didn't do the same, then there would be something wrong with his head. Liu Ning's thinking was very correct. Under such circumstances, he had to rehearse the whole thing.
After Liu Ning gave the orders, the men below knew what to do. Since they wanted to come to this good place to make money, they had to make some sacrifices. One by one, they immediately went out to do their work. There were many Shangguan family members who were conducting searches around. Seeing the actions of Liu Ning's team, they immediately went back to report. It seemed that these people were really here for the first time. They had never been here before. Our young master died and was injured here. Perhaps it really had nothing to do with Liu Ning and his people.
Shangguan Qingyun initially didn't believe it either, but after observing for a while, he found that these people were indeed similar to what he had thought. No wonder the mage Linley was so angry earlier; it turned out he really had doubts about mages. Fortunately, it was in the wild. If it were in the city, or in front of many people, mages would do anything for their dignity. Shangguan Qingyun wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had gotten away with it; otherwise, he would have become an enemy of the Mage Guild. He wouldn't be able to live a good life for the rest of his life, and his descendants would probably not have a good outcome either. No one would be willing to cooperate with them, since cooperating with them meant being an enemy of the Mage Guild.
Shangguan Qingyun still harbored some doubts: were these people doing this on purpose? However, he quickly shook his head. Impossible. Mages were so powerful, and his nephew wasn't stupid. If he were to provoke a mage, that kid would be out of his mind. Mages were so powerful, and his nephew didn't have a grudge against them. Why would he go and provoke them? He would definitely stay far away from such a situation. That little rascal's brain wasn't something to be trifled with.
According to normal thinking, Shangguan Bao would naturally not provoke a magician. But then again, how do you know it wasn't the magician who provoked him? This guy really did something utterly shameless, otherwise Lin Lei wouldn't have taken the initiative to attack. Lin Lei believes in being kind to others and naturally wouldn't actively seek trouble for others. Shangguan Bao just walked right into the line of fire. Of all things to do, he had to do something so disgusting and end up in Lin Lei's hands. If he wasn't taught a lesson, would he really think he could do whatever he wanted in this world? Would he really think this world was lawless?
After completing their reconnaissance, Liu Ning and his team began their work. Knowing that many were watching, Liu Ning only allowed them to bring one beast at a time. Bringing several at once would arouse suspicion. Furthermore, Liu Ning's evasive maneuvers clearly indicated familiarity with the terrain, which he couldn't reveal. Therefore, he only led one beast at a time, a probing attack. These people, having observed for so long, naturally wouldn't have the time to linger. Their second young master had just died here; they should be searching for clues before pursuing him, not wasting their time here. The family had given them so much money; if they brought back a mage as an enemy, they'd better watch themselves.
At this moment, everyone felt a sense of fear. Just moments ago, they had been thinking of attacking the mage, but now they didn't dare utter a sound. The mage's abilities were simply too strong. Judging from the way the mage attacked, one could basically tell what was going on. Let alone us, even if we were all warrior-level experts, what could we do? Watching the mage hunt ferocious beasts was as easy as eating a meal for him. Keep in mind, these were warrior-level beasts, not the common warrior-level beasts. The mage hunted warrior-level beasts more easily than they hunted warrior-level beasts. Are we even on the same level?
If they were given a general-level ferocious beast, a dozen of them could surround it and potentially win, but it would still take at least an hour or two of fighting. That's assuming there are no mishaps. If anything goes wrong, the fight could take much longer. So they clearly saw the gap between themselves and mages—it was definitely not in the same league. If they had actually attacked them just now, a few fireballs would have turned them to ashes. Didn't they see the beast howling in pain as it was burned? Every time the beast screamed, they felt like it was attacking them.
Shangguan Qingyun also witnessed this scene. Initially, he felt envious, but this quickly turned into sorrow. The most powerful aspect of each family is the strength of its young members, as this represents the future of the family. When Shangguan Bao was alive, there was nothing to fear, but now that was no longer the case. Shangguan Bao was dead, and looking at the remaining young people, he felt a pang of sadness.
