1255: Chapter 1256: Don’t Follow in the Footsteps of Third Young Master 1255: Chapter 1256: Don’t Follow in the Footsteps of Third Young Master “Who is that person?”

Pan Long looked at Liu Sa, who stood by the door, and asked.

Liu Sa, one of the top five external experts of the Pan Family Garden, is known as one of the Pan Family’s five tigers, ranked third.

“I’ve already had my men investigate.

That man comes from the Shangguan Family of Glazed Glass City, named Shangguan Bo.”

Liu Sa said, “It seems he suffered a setback in a confrontation with the Huang Family of Glazed Glass City, so he asked Third Young Master to help him regain face.

At the time, I didn’t give it much thought, assuming it was a minor matter.

Who would have expected it would lead to Third Young Master’s death?”

“The Shangguan Family!”

Murderous intent surged in Pan Long’s eyes.

Even when the former Shangguan Aristocratic Clan existed, he was not afraid, let alone now that the Shangguan Aristocratic Clan had long been annihilated.

“Get ready immediately, we’re going to the Shangguan Family!”

He said to Liu Sa.

“Yes!”

Liu Sa nodded and went out to prepare the carriage.

The journey from Capital City to Glazed Glass City takes about three hours; indeed, it’s best to prepare early.

A moment later, the two of them got into the carriage, and together with the driver, a total of three people set off for Glazed Glass City.

Pan Long’s face was filled with murderous intent, his heart oppressed and furious, like the raging sea in a storm, whipping up towering waves.

To tell the truth, he could tolerate others calling him weak, and could even bear with the Pan Family being merely a black-gold Aristocratic Clan.

But what he absolutely could not tolerate was the killing of his own younger brother.

“Liu Sa, who do you think made the move, who could have killed Pan Bao?”

Pan Long suddenly asked.

“To my knowledge, in the entire north, currently known on the surface, there are no more than ten people, and they are mostly affiliated with the top ten Aristocratic Clans and the eight major sects.”

Liu Sa answered, his face grim, “But these people are all under our surveillance.

Once they make a move, no matter how covert, we would detect it.

This time, they obviously haven’t stirred, so the one who made the move must be someone unknown to us.

Perhaps it’s an expert cultivated by the Bai Family.”

In this world, no one can see completely through everything.

Therefore, no one dares to guarantee exactly how many experts there are in this world.

Pan Long pondered for a moment and said, “Do you also think it was someone from the Bai Family?”

“Whether it was someone from the Bai Family or not, they won’t admit to it.

These kinds of things, no one dares to do openly.”

Liu Sa said, “Even if we find the person responsible, it may not be possible to prove their connection with the Bai Family.”

Pan Long fell into thought once more.

Whether it’s the top ten Aristocratic Clans or the eight major sects, their actions are not always overt, because being overt involves too many complications.

Thus, they often act covertly, assassinating targets they want dead.

This kind of act is not new.

“But I feel that this person might not be from the Bai Family.”

Pan Long coldly said, “Recently in the north, the situation is treacherous and changeable.

I suspect that the one who acted might well be that mysterious Chess Player.”

“If that’s the case, it’s even more dangerous.”

Liu Sa frowned and said, “Boss Long, I know the death of Third Young Master has angered you, but I don’t wish to see you lose your usual cool and composure.

Otherwise, big trouble could ensue.”

Pan Long nodded, clearly understanding this point.

In the past, he had always acted with caution and trepidation.

He only wanted to live, to protect his family.

But now, his brother was dead, so how much longer should he endure?

If being careful and vigilant still couldn’t protect his family, then there was no need for it.

“Boss Long, I know what you’re thinking, but there’s a fact you have to accept: Third Young Master’s death was related to his impulsive nature.

I do not wish to see you follow in Third Young Master’s footsteps.”

Liu Sa said, “You need to understand, if the hand that struck belongs to one of the top ten Aristocratic Clans, that’s one thing; but if, as you say, it was that Chess Player, then the situation is completely different.”

“It’s very dangerous!”

“So you’re saying that I shouldn’t seek revenge?”

Pan Long said.

“Revenge must be sought, but it requires calmness.

One must not let hatred blind them and end up doing something that will lead to lifelong regret.”

Liu Sa said.

He knew Pan Long all too well, knowing that it was absolutely impossible for Pan Long to give up on revenge.

Therefore, he didn’t expect Pan Long to do so.

What he hoped for now was that Pan Long wouldn’t be impetuous and seek death like Pan Bao did.

“You’re absolutely right.”

Pan Long nodded, his mood gradually calming down.

It was already very late.

The winter night in the north carried an inexplicably chilling cold.

The streets and alleys were scarcely populated, with virtually no one to be seen.

Everyone was hiding at home, enjoying the comfort brought by the heating.

In Glazed Glass City, the Shangguan Family, with members like Shangguan Zhan and Shangguan Bo, were eating hot pot.

They might have important business to attend to tonight, so they didn’t plan on sleeping for the time being.

Hundreds of skilled members of the Shangguan Family had already gathered.

All were huddling together eating steaming hot mutton slices, which they found refreshingly satisfying.

Shangguan Zhan was waiting for news.

News from Pan Bao.

Once he was certain that the expert had been killed, he would immediately move against the Huang Family in Glazed Glass City.

He didn’t doubt Pan Bao’s abilities at all.

Pan Bao’s strength was the most terrifying he had ever seen.

Hence, all that was needed was to wait.

As long as the Huang Family in Glazed Glass City was annihilated, their Shangguan Family could rise again and even reclaim a seat among the top Aristocratic Clans.

He was also fortunate that Shangguan Bo had once funded Pan Bao with a substantial amount of money, helping the Pan Family Garden through a crisis.

Additionally, Pan Bao was a person who most enjoyed sparring with experts.

Therefore, this matter was settled.

“Family Head, the hot pot is almost finished, and we’ve drunk almost enough.

The brothers are all high in spirits, do we still need to wait for news?”

Shangguan Bo looked at Shangguan Zhan and asked, “Can’t we just take action directly and attack?”

The incident at the Huang Family in Glazed Glass City had left the Shangguan Family members fuming with suppressed rage.

They had always wanted to exact revenge, to retaliate.

Tonight might be the best opportunity, and they didn’t want to miss it.

What if the Six Meridians of the Zhou Clan got ahead of them?

“No hurry, it’s better to be safe!”

Shangguan Zhan shook his head.

At this time, they truly needed to be cautious.

If the expert hadn’t been killed and they rushed in like this, they would ultimately face utter destruction.

Even though they had many people, none of them could suppress Xiao Chen.

If Xiao Chen wasn’t dead, their attack would be tantamount to suicide.

No need to rush, as long as Pan Bao killed Xiao Chen, all they’d have to do was claim the easy pickings.

They must remain calm at this time.

After all, the Shangguan Family no longer had any chips to gamble with.

If they failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Big brother, you’re not getting scared, are you?”

Shangguan Bo couldn’t help but say.

“Shut up!

If you don’t want to die, just stay put, keep eating the hot pot, the heater is on.

What’s there to be unsatisfied about?”

Shangguan Zhan coldly said: “Have you forgotten what happened last time?

Because you underestimated a security guard, we ended up in this passive situation.

If you are still careless, beware it’s not Huang Sihai that gets wiped out, but us.”
