The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 2 The Most Dumb

The man's hand grabbed the girl's belt before him. “First Miss Huang— Ah, I was wrong. Mingwei Junzhu,”—Laughter that sounds so evil comes out of her lips—"blame yourself for opposing someone you can't resist.”

The instant the fingertips of the man touched the lining belt in the clothes of the girl lying unconscious on top of the bed, the sound of the door slamming open tightly could be heard shocking him. The black-clothed man turned around quickly with wide eyes, his heart skipping a beat once when he saw one figure darting towards him with a fist hovering towards his face.

After all, that man—Xiaoye— was the head of the Death Squad. He nimbly blocked the attack with his hand, only to slam to the side and crash into the closet fiercely. Before he could react, a hand choked his neck tightly and lifted his body off the floor.

Surprised by this power, Xiaoye's two eyes widened, staring at the man before her with a face of disbelief. “You—!” His words stopped as the choking on his neck became stronger. The resentment emanated in the eyes of his attacker made Xiaoye's entire body shiver. ‘I-this is the true power of a Liang Fenghong? He's not just an ordinary healer!’

Liang Fenghong's eyes looked so cold. No, it's not just cold. The radiance of his eyes was the radiance of the eyes of someone who had been prepared to kill!

Liang Fenghong's eyes turned towards Huang Miaoling who was lying next to the unconscious Wang Junsi. Not only that, the outer layer of the girl's clothes was exposed. The man rolled his eyes back to Xiaoye.

“Who ordered you?” liang Fenghong asked in a voice that instantly lowered the temperature inside the room. “Say and maybe I will be kind enough to let you live,”.

‘Crazy, he has lost his sanity! Ask for answers, but reinforce the giggles. How can I answer?! He obviously just wanted to kill me!’ peeked Xiaoye while trying to break away and kick around, but Liang Fenghong did not move in the slightest.

Due to such a shocking situation, Xiaoye's brain did not have time to work. However, in an instant his mind became cold and he was able to think clearly. This kind of incident he had gone through many times in the training of the Death Squad, there was no way he could not control his mind!

Nimble, Xiaoye grabbed the dagger tucked in her waist and tried to slash Liang Fenghong's wrist. Honey, his opponent quickly broke away.

Ah, naw. Not unfortunate at all. After all, Xiaoye's current goal was not to injure Liang Fenghong, but rather to escape and save his life!

‘The plan failed, does not mean there is no more chance!’ xiaoye thought as he darted towards the exit.

“Ingin run?” muttered Liang Fenghong while preparing to chase after the Death Squad member.

However, Liang Fenghong's consciousness slowly returned, he still had more important things to do. The man paused his intention and ended up throwing three needles at Xiaoye. With terrifying accuracy, the three needles pierced three different points, two sides of the neck and the nape of the back.

Xiaoye could feel the prick of the needle, but he ignored it and continued to run for his life. He did not think long about what effect will be produced by the prick of the needle. After all, whatever it was, he could ask the other members later. Most importantly, he had to run away.

Seeing Xiaoye's departure, Liang Fenghong frowned for a moment. Then, he stretched it out as he turned around and approached the bed. As his gaze returned filled with an uncomfortable sight, Liang Fenghong's two hands clenched.

‘This issue ...’

Liang Fenghong's heart felt like it wanted to explode from the intense anger. However, he took a deep breath and took out a small bottle from the small pouch hanging on the side of his waist. Quickly, he pegged a single dot on Wang Junsi's face, causing the man's jaw to open. Liang Fenghong put in his medicine and shut Wang Junsi's mouth to then poke the side of his neck, letting the unconscious Wang Junsi swallow the medicine.

Finished treating the Fourth Prince, Liang Fenghong's gaze turned to Huang Miaoling. The man then removed his outer clothing to avoid direct contact with the girl's body. Beyond the knowledge Huang Miaoling touched him, it was a disrespectful thing. Moreover, under the current conditions ....it was not a good thing for Liang Fenghong to touch him directly.

Liang Fenghong lifted Huang Miaoling's body so lightly from the bed. Then, he gave one last look to Wang Junsi while saying, “You ... already careless.” There was disappointment contained in his tone of speech. “So well as you,” he said as he looked towards Huang Miaoling as he walked out of the room. ‘And the dumbest is myself ...’

Just when Liang Fenghong was holding out Huang Miaoling who was still unconscious, the figures of Xiuchen and Xiaoming who had just arrived were visible. It seemed, Xiaoming who had been together with Liang Fenghong was ordered to call Wang Junsi's subordinate so that he could clear things up before anyone discovered the oddity.

Looking at Huang Miaoling who was in Liang Fenghong's arms, as well as the dark expression that enveloped the face of the Physician Jianghu, Xiuchen and Xiaoming immediately went wide. “This ...,” Xiuchen just wanted to ask.

Without glancing towards Xiuchen, Liang Fenghong said, “Before anyone comes, take care of the corpse of the servant in front of the door.” His words made Xiuchen frown upon noticing the death of the poor servant in his master's residence. “Your employer will wake up soon.” Then, his eyebrows clutched. “When he wakes up, make sure he comes to see me immediately at the residence of Princess Meilan.”

To be honest, Xiuchen disliked Liang Fenghong's domineering tone. The man seemed to show no hint of respect to Wang Junsi who was the fourth prince of Shi kingdom. However, looking at Huang Miaoling's unconscious figure while clad in Liang Fenghong's outer clothes in the man's arms, Xiuchen could guess most of what had almost happened.

To blame Liang Fenghong's impoliteness was completely unnecessary. With that in mind, Xiuchen immediately ran past the Young Master Liang and took care of the corpse of the poor maid lying in front of Wang Junsi's room door. Although deeply regretting the servant's death, Xiuchen knew that sympathetic feelings were useless under the circumstances. If anyone catches the existence of the corpse, then the problem will become more and more runnyam.

On the other hand, Xiaoming stared towards her master. “Young Master ...” However, seeing such a terrifying expression adorning Young Master Liang's face, Xiaoming immediately stopped whatever she had wanted to say. His entire muscles stiffened, as if knowing that the problem this time would be followed by a far more frightening wrath. ‘This time, it's over ...’
