Chapter 505: Friction Between Brothers: Xiong Ba's Covetousness of the Jing Shen Finger!

The Southern Song Dynasty.

Dongjing, Great Ming Prefecture.

Fengxiyulou.

The second master, Bai Choufei, sat alone atop the high tower, gazing at the myriad phenomena within the firmament.

His face bore a hint of arrogance, along with a trace of unyielding resolve.

When he saw his name appear on that Peerless Martial God List.

He felt little joy, merely letting out a long sigh of relief.

He, Bai Choufei, had ultimately not shamed Mr., and had finally earned some pride for himself.

It had been ten years since he left Jixia Academy.

In those ten years, far too much had happened.

Many people and many matters had quietly faded into the past.

Only those days spent at Jixia Academy remained unforgettable.

At this moment.

Golden light descended from the firmament, falling into his hands.

Bai Choufei picked it up casually.

"Tian Lan Yue Gong!"

"Biluo Huang Quan Pill!"

"This pill can bring the dead back to life and flesh to white bones!"

"If I give this pill to Su Mengzhen, Su Mengzhen will surely recover completely."

"However, by then, the supreme authority of Fengxiyulou will likely return to Su Mengzhen's hands."

"A true man cannot be without power for a single day!"

"Yet, years ago, I swore an oath before Mr. that in this life I would never seek power at the cost of extinguishing emotion and nature!"

"If I truly secretly harmed Su Mengzhen, how could I ever have the face to see Mr. again!"

"So be it, so be it; Su Mengzhen, we are brothers; beneath the falling plum blossoms in Jiangcheng, we once shared wine and joyful conversation."

"Although I, Bai Choufei, love power and influence, I, Bai Choufei, am confident that my skills will never lack a place to be employed!"

"The day you, Su Mengzhen, recover completely shall be the day I, Bai Choufei, depart from Fengxiyulou!"

"I, Bai Choufei, in literary pursuits can wield the brush, splash ink, dance and sing, astonishing the pear garden; in martial affairs, I can command thousands of troops, direct the battlefield, seize flags, and slay generals."

"Why should I worry about failing to secure a promising future?"

"I possess the ambitions of a swan; I cannot willingly degrade myself!"

Thinking thus.

Bai Choufei immediately stood up and said, "Someone come!"

Clatter, clatter, clatter!

Before long.

A figure walked up from below, arriving behind Bai Choufei.

Bai Choufei placed that pill into a brocade box, then handed it to the person, saying, "Go, take this Biluo Huang Quan Pill to the Su residence!"

That person was Bai Choufei's trusted confidant; a look of surprise flashed across his face as he said to Bai Choufei, "Second Master, this is the Biluo Huang Quan Pill that can flesh white bones and revive the dead!"

"Do you truly intend to give it to Master Su?"

Bai Choufei said indifferently, "If I say give it, then give it; where do you get so much nonsense!"

"Although Fengxiyulou is fine, it ultimately belongs to someone else."

"A Jiangshan inherited from others is ultimately less secure than a Jiangshan conquered by one's own hands."

The confidant immediately nodded, saying, "Second Master's vision is far-reaching; this subordinate is impressed!"

"No matter where Second Master goes, this subordinate will surely follow to the death!"

Hearing this, Bai Choufei said, "Go, and upon arriving at the Su residence, do not speak unnecessarily."

The confidant replied, "Yes, Second Master!"

Dongjing, Great Ming Prefecture.

The Su residence!

The Su residence held no great fame within Lin'an City.

This was because Su Mengzhen was a low-key person.

Although he was the master of Fengxiyulou, his health had always been poor; afflicted with a severe illness, he coughed year-round and was nearly sickly from head to toe.

At this time, within the rear garden of the Su residence.

Su Mengzhen sat in a reclining chair, speaking with a young, handsome man while observing the Peerless Martial God List in the firmament.

Su Mengzhen said, "I never expected that Bai Choufei was actually a direct disciple of Mr. Li Li Changsheng!"

"We have been brothers with him, yet we never knew he had such a past!"

That young, handsome man was none other than Wang Xiaoshi, the third master of Fengxiyulou.

Years ago, Su Mengzhen, Bai Choufei, and Wang Xiaoshi met in Jiangcheng and swore an oath as sworn brothers.

Later, both Bai Choufei and Wang Xiaoshi joined Fengxiyulou to assist Su Mengzhen.

This made Fengxiyulou even more powerful.

However, as Su Mengzhen became increasingly plagued by illness, he began entrusting most of Fengxiyulou's affairs to Bai Choufei.

Yet, recently, both Su Mengzhen and Wang Xiaoshi had noticed that Bai Choufei seemed extremely obsessed with power.

Already, on many matters, he had gone against Su Mengzhen's thoughts.

Wang Xiaoshi too had been kicked by Su Mengzhen to the fringe, becoming someone who handled nothing.

At this moment.

Only Wang Xiaoshi's voice was heard: "Big Brother, Second Brother Bai's nature is deep and reserved."

"I only hope he does not, for the sake of power, do things that cause pain to friends and joy to enemies."

Upon hearing this, Su Mengzhen began to cough.

He pressed a white handkerchief over his mouth.

After the coughing, several streaks of blood overflowed.

Seeing the blood on Su Mengzhen's handkerchief, Wang Xiaoshi's face was full of worry; he said, "Big Brother, are you all right!"
