This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 173 - 131: Green-faced Ghost King (Major - )

"Make Xing City's world my own domain?"

Li Fei was caught off guard by Shangguan Xiao's words, having never considered such a possibility.

"Do you think that after the Tiger Saber Gang is taken down, there won't be other gangs emerging in Xing City?"

Shangguan Xiao asked.

Li Fei: "Of course, there will be."

"Yes, of course there will be. Taking down one Tiger Saber Gang doesn't mean Xing City will henceforth be free of darkness. Protection rackets, opium dens, forcing the good into prostitution, swindling in gambling houses, smuggling, murder... These evils, if not committed by the Tiger Saber Gang, someone else will always commit them. In this world, as long as there is light, there will also be darkness."

Shangguan Xiao sighed, "But without the Tiger Saber Gang, this huge entity that loomed over everyone's heads, Xing City's world could very well become even more chaotic than it is now in the next ten years. Many new gangs will spring up, fighting for territory and interests everywhere until order gradually stabilizes."

She gazed into Li Fei's eyes: "Given this, it's entirely possible for you to step forward and shape Xing City's world as you wish."

"Me?"

Li Fei was surprised. "Does Auntie mean to suggest that I form a gang?"

Shangguan Xiao shook her head: "There's no need for you to start from scratch, isn't the Tiger Saber Gang already there? If you don't like the Tiger Saber Gang, then transform it into something you do like."

"Ah?"

Li Fei quickly grasped her meaning.

Shangguan Xiao wanted him to stand forth in the name of the Green-faced Ghost and rebuild the Tiger Saber Gang, laying down a new set of rules!

"But if Auntie has such thoughts, why not do it yourself?"

Li Fei asked.

Shangguan Xiao laughed: "Your teacher returned to the city today and found me, having quite a lengthy talk."

"My teacher is back?"

"Yes, he rushed back to Xing City the moment he received the news. Though he was a step late, fortunately, everything turned out well."

"What did my teacher say?"

"Your teacher, like you once did, wished to change the world, to rid it of as much filth as possible."

A nostalgic look came over Shangguan Xiao:

"Unfortunately, he later experienced a setback that left him disheartened, and thus he came to Xing City and became a teacher at the Martial Arts Hall."

Li Fei thoughtfully said: "Teacher's Martial Arts Foundation was greatly damaged in that upheaval, wasn't it?"

Shangguan Xiao nodded: "You can ask your teacher about these things yourself in the future if he is willing to tell you. Then you'll naturally know. I won't say more."

Li Fei: "I understand."

"You know what your teacher is like. If it were before, he would have disapproved of the Green-faced Ghost's actions. Yet, today, upon his return to the city when he learned of what the Green-faced Ghost had done, discovered Yu Hu's collusion with the Westerners and his betrayal, his views have changed."

"Had you not stood up to fight Tiger Saber Gang, the matter of Yu Hu's betrayal might not have been uncovered. The extent of danger that the Tiger Saber Gang could have caused and when the Western Countries' conspiracy would have been exposed are all uncertainties. Hence, upon knowing all this, your teacher actually holds some admiration for the Green-faced Ghost, he just didn't express it openly."

Shangguan Xiao smiled as she looked at Li Fei.

Li Fei also smiled.

In Hao Yi's heart, the state was paramount, and every citizen had a responsibility for its rise or fall.

Therefore, compared to slaying a few corrupt officials and unscrupulous characters, the Green-faced Ghost's exposure of the foreigners' conspiracy was meritorious! The weight of this matter in Hao Yi's heart was inestimable.

"Your teacher's thoughts have changed, and I suspect he won't be content to remain a teacher at the Martial Arts Hall forever. As his junior, I naturally need to plan ahead for him."

A sweet smile appeared on Shangguan Xiao's face.

Only then did Li Fei realize the true purpose behind his Auntie's plan, and he chuckled: "So, having me step up to take over Tiger Saber Gang is also part of Auntie's strategy?"

"What, are you, as his student, unwilling to relieve your teacher's worries?"

Shangguan Xiao glared at Li Fei.

"Haha, as his student, I'm happy to!"

Li Fei laughed and bowed.

Shangguan Xiao waved her hand: "You just asked why I wouldn't step forward to do these things. That's because I plan to become the Chief of Zhi Ge Court, and naturally, I won't be able to intervene in world affairs."

"Ah?"

Li Fei was shocked by her words.

I mean, Chief of Zhi Ge Court, an Imperial Official, can someone from the world simply claim to be one?

Even if you're a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse, it surely can't be that easy, can it?

Li Fei silently critiqued in his mind.

"I know what you're surprised about."

Shangguan Xiao laughed, "Your Auntie, well, my family has some clout at home. It's just that I had a falling out with them and ran away from home to mingle in the world. Now, I'm willing to step forward to be an official. They would certainly be happy to help. With their assistance, and given the current situation in Xing City needing someone to take charge and stabilize things, I have a good chance to ascend the ranks and become the Chief of Zhi Ge Court in Xing City."

"I see."

Li Fei nodded.

Shangguan Xiao's family must have some influence in the Government of Datong Prefecture, and with her contribution in this crisis, if it weren't for her, the situation would have collapsed. She indeed had achieved a great merit.

With such an accomplishment, coupled with Shangguan Xiao's own Tao Foundation Stage strength and the backing of her family's machinations, she did indeed have the opportunity to Step into the Sky and become the esteemed Chief of Zhi Ge Court!

"In the official world, nothing beats having connections."

Li Fei reflected.

"If I become the Chief of Zhi Ge Court, I won't be able to get too involved in the world's affairs. Hence, I plan to hand over Qingyuan Fist Village to you in the future."
