“We were saved by others. How could we be alive otherwise?” Feng Da explained.

“What about the people who saved you?” the middle-aged man asked angrily.

“They left after saving us.”

“Then why didn’t they save my third brother first but instead saved you?” The middle-aged man was furious.

“Elder Xu, we might be mercenaries with low status and not of noble birth like Third Master and Second Young Lady, but we are also raised by our parents. Please don’t insult our dignity. Moreover, can we decide who our benefactor wants to save?” Feng Da said righteously.

Feng Da’s words resonated with the mercenaries present. Elder Xu’s words despising the lives of mercenaries had already made them a little unhappy, but now Feng Da’s words had completely aroused their dissatisfaction.

“That’s right. Are the lives of your Xu family precious while the lives of us mercenaries worthless?” someone said in the crowd.

“That’s right. The Xu family is too much. Isn’t this bullying?” someone else said.

“Young Master Zhang Jian, your mercenary group didn’t do a good job of protection. You must give our Xu family an explanation for this matter!” The middle-aged man’s angry face turned livid after everyone accused him. So he simply turned his spear toward the young master of the Anaconda Mercenary Group and demanded an explanation.

“This…” Zhang Jian frowned and glared at Feng Da fiercely.?How dare they cause trouble for the mercenary group.?He turned his gaze toward the young masters of the Hurricane Mercenary Group and Universal Mercenary Group, Ju Ri and Cang Ran, hoping they could help him. However, they refused to look at him. He was so pissed off!

“Elder Xu, this incident is indeed a mistake of our Anaconda Mercenary Group. In order to make up for the bereavement of Elder Xu, we are willing to hand them over to you to be at your disposal,” Zhang Jian steeled himself and said. Feng Da’s team was indeed one of the main forces of the mercenary group, but they could not offend the Xu family. If a few people did not die, it would be difficult to dispel the Xu family’s hatred. Therefore, he had to sacrifice them in hopes that the Xu family would see his sincerity and not pursue the matter further.

“Young Master Zhang, you are a sensible person. The patriarch will see your sincerity,” Elder Xu said with admiration. The Xu family had always had a close cooperative relationship with the Anaconda Mercenary Group. Therefore, he was very clear that the patriarch would not destroy the group just for his brother and the seemingly favored Lin’er. After all, there were many things that the Xu family found inconvenient to come forward for personally, so they still needed the help of the Anaconda Mercenary Group. However, since the people were dead, it was impossible not to pursue the matter at all. The Xu family’s face still had to be retrieved.

“Young Master, you can’t give up on us!” Feng Da said with grief.

“Young Master!”

“No need to shout. I’m expelling you from the Anaconda Mercenary Group. From now on, you are no longer a part of us,” Zhang Jian said sternly.

“Go down and accompany my brother!” Elder Xu said with a grim face. He raised the saber in his hand, gathered his spiritual power on the blade, and slashed at them.

Ding!?A stream of spiritual power knocked Elder Xu’s sword to the ground.

“Who is it? Come out!” Elder Xu roared in anger.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“How can the people I saved be killed at will?!” Leng Ruoxue’s group of four walked out from the crowd.

As soon as they appeared, their extraordinary elegance immediately stunned the crowd, making the people reluctant to look away.

“You were the ones who saved them?” Elder Xu came to his senses and asked while gritting his teeth. Among the four of them, there was an advanced Spiritual Sovereign and an advanced Spiritual Monarch, but he could not discern the strength of the beautiful girl and the freakishly good-looking man in black.

“Yes, we saved them,” Leng Ruoxue said coldly.

“Why didn’t you save people from our Xu family first?” Elder Xu shouted furiously.

“I save people by mood, not by identity,” Leng Ruoxue said disdainfully.?So what if you’re from the Xu family. The Xu family isn’t any better than pigs to me.

“You… Our Xu family won’t let you go!” Elder Xu threatened, trembling with rage.

“Are you threatening us? The Xu family is worthy of being one of the Five Great Families. So imposing, I’m so scared!” Leng Ruoxue said mockingly with a scared expression on her face.

“The Xu family is too much. They’re threatening people who didn’t save their family members. The Xu family only has this level of tolerance!” All the men present saw the stunning beauty being threatened and wronged by others, and they immediately interrupted in righteous indignation.

“Miss, you’ve just saved me and my brothers once again. My brothers and I are willing to follow Miss and repay you for your great favor. I will fight against whoever dares make trouble for Miss,” Feng Da said solemnly. Even though he knew that the young lady didn’t need them to act in this way, they would always feel a knot in their hearts if they didn’t. Moreover, they did this to let people know of the ruthlessness and bullying nature of the Xu family and the Anaconda Mercenary Group.

“Since you’ve been expelled from the Anaconda Mercenary Group, I will accept you.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. She found that Feng Da and the others were becoming more devious. But just as well. She was pretty satisfied.

“How dare you take in the people who our Xu family wants to kill.” Elder Xu’s face darkened with anger.

“You said you wouldn’t let us go, then what does it matter if I take them in or not?” Leng Ruoxue said without any fear, not paying attention to this angry Elder Xu at all.

“Young Master Zhang…” Elder Xu turned his head to look at Zhang Jian for support. Although he really wanted to kill them to vent his anger for the death of his brother, he was an elder of a prominent family after all and hadn’t lost his reason yet. He was not afraid of the Spiritual Sovereign nor the Spiritual Monarch. Who he feared were the stunning girl and the freakishly good-looking man. He couldn’t tell how strong these two people were at all. But since they could kill two holy beast-level earth pythons, then they were definitely not weaker than him, so he didn’t dare to act rashly.

“Elder Xu, I expelled them just now. You heard it.” Zhang Jian was not stupid. Since he had already handed them over, he wouldn’t care if they were killed or not.

Zhang Jian turned his head and looked at Leng Ruoxue.?When did such a great beauty appear on the Ling Feng Continent? Even Shui Xinran of the Shui family is like a weed compared to her.
