Chapter 13111 Do you have to fight?
Having said that, the old man slightly turned sideways and motioned the woman to look behind him, only to see four Tianhe Realm powerhouses wearing uniform and with a calm aura standing silently. Although they were all in the early stage of the Tianhe Realm, the pressure they exuded could not be ignored.
"These four are elites carefully trained by our Bada Trading Company. They not only have profound cultivation, but also rich practical experience. We are confident that we can subdue this man even if he is in his prime. Don't worry, miss. Leave the rest to us."
The woman looked at the four strong men who were ready for battle, and her worries were slightly reduced, but she still couldn't hide her concern. She bit her lip lightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, with both trust in the old man and the four strong men, and worry about unknown dangers.
"Uncle Huang, be careful, he... doesn't seem simple." In the end, she chose to step aside. Although she was still unwilling in her heart, she also knew that although she was strong, in a confrontation of this level, the lack of experience and judgment might become a fatal weakness.
She decided to follow Uncle Huang's arrangements and wait and see what would happen. At the same time, she prayed silently in her heart, hoping that everything would be resolved smoothly.
The old man walked steadily, and every step revealed the calmness and majesty accumulated over the years. He slowly walked in front of Ling Xiao, chose a place to sit elegantly, and his face was filled with a warm smile. That smile not only showed approval of the young man, but also seemed to hide a bit of inquiry.
"Heroes emerge young! I have often heard rumors in the martial arts world that you, a young hero, are from the southern region where literature and martial arts flourish?"
Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and then he smiled faintly, with a bit of uninhibitedness and carefreeness in his smile: "I came from the Northern Frontier, that vast land, it was the cradle of my growth. Later, I entered the Southern Region with my infinite yearning for martial arts. Later, in order to seek a higher realm, I went to the East China Sea."
When the old man heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, as if he could penetrate the long river of time and see the hardships and difficulties Ling Xiao had gone through along the way.
He whispered, "Northern Frontier is a place that people both love and fear. Once upon a time, the most terrifying demon sect on this continent was born there. Its power was so huge that it almost made the entire Bai Ze continent tremble.
At the same time, it was once the most fertile place for cultivation, where countless strong men rose up and left behind legends. The South Region is also a magical land, which gave birth to peerless strong men like the "Number One in the World", whose demeanor is still praised by the world.
If we talk about your fame when you were young, you, Ling Xiao, are indeed stronger than the Demon Sect's leader and the world's number one. You are truly a young man to be feared!"
"That's the truth!" Ling Xiao chuckled, with a sly arc at the corner of his mouth. That smile showed both recognition of the old man's straightforward evaluation and a bit of the unruly and self-identification unique to young people. There was no trace of humility at all.
His eyes were bright and determined, as if he had absolute confidence in his own strength and behavior.
Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but frown even more, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes that had seen all the vicissitudes of life.
"Your arrogant character is indeed quite similar to those two people. You are both very aggressive and unwilling to bow your heads easily." His words not only judged Ling Xiao's character, but also seemed to be recalling the past, those strong people who also possessed extraordinary talents but acted ostentatiously.
After saying that, the old man's gaze suddenly turned to the body of Pang Jun beside him. The once vibrant life was now lying there quietly, silently telling the tragedy that had just happened.
His expression gradually turned cold, as if even the air around him had solidified.
“Young man, being too ruthless in doing things will often sow the seeds of disaster for yourself. In this world where the strong are respected, keeping a low profile and being tolerant at the right time is the long-term plan.” The old man’s voice was low and powerful, and every word sounded like a heavy hammer hitting Ling Xiao’s heart.
When Ling Xiao heard this, the smile on his face did not fade, but his eyes became deeper.
He shook his head slightly, with a bit of helplessness and persistence in his tone: "Heaven and earth can bear witness. I, Ling Xiao, came to Bada Commercial Bank to buy what I needed, and I have no intention of being an enemy of your bank. However, things are unpredictable, and this shopkeeper has murderous intentions towards me. If I don't fight back, won't I just sit there and wait to be killed?"
At this point, Ling Xiao's tone became firm: "I killed him not out of personal grudge, but to protect myself. In this world full of strong people, fairness often needs to be defended with strength. The moment he chose to attack me, his fate was already determined."
There was a hint of bitterness and determination in his smile, which was a profound understanding of the cruel laws of this world.
After hearing this, the old man was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing something.
Finally, he looked at Ling Xiao coldly, his voice full of unquestionable majesty: "Even so, you can't deny that you killed someone, and the person you killed was the owner of my Bada Trading Company. If this matter gets out, it will greatly damage the reputation of my company."
"Now that everyone has been killed, what are you going to do?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
The old man stared at Ye Xuan. His eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, seemed to contain thousands of years of vicissitudes. He was silent for a long while, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.
Finally, he slowly raised his arms, his wide sleeves swaying gently with the movement. He took a deep breath, and his chest rose and fell, as if he was gathering all his determination and indomitable spirit.
Then, he spoke in a deep voice, and every word hit the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer: "My Bada Trading Company has stood on the shore of the East China Sea since then. It has gone through nearly a thousand years of wind and rain and witnessed countless rise and fall.
During these long years, we have encountered various challenges, no matter it was a stormy sea or a surging undercurrent, we never retreated a single step. Those who claimed to be the chosen ones of heaven, arrogant and conceited, eventually turned into dust in the long river of history and dissipated in our hands. "
At this point, the old man's voice was low but full of power, and his eyes flashed with an unyielding light, which was a deep obsession with the family's honor and the inheritance of the business.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao curled up a faint smile, which showed both recognition of the old man's persistence and a hint of helplessness.
"Oh? After hearing what you said, it seems that we have to fight today?" Although his voice was soft, it was clearly heard all around, with a calmness and confidence that could not be ignored.
He shook his head slightly, turned his gaze to the woman beside the old man who tried to dissuade him but failed, and continued: "Although the senior is a veteran with rich experience, in some aspects, he may not be as rational and sober as this beautiful lady."
