Chapter 222 Mission Accomplished (2)
The Red Moon captain and Phoenix Lake Hall Master lowered their heads.
“Clear up the Chang family and deal with our dead brothers’ funeral as soon as possible.” The white-haired elder was indeed furious.
So many people had died, and the losses were huge. The death of a first-rate expert made the white-haired elder’s heart ache! This was because it shook the foundation of the Flower Moon Gang
It was impossible to arrange for tens of thousands of people to fight in a battle between large gangs. The city’s streets meant small-scale battles between elites!
Even when large gangs fought each other, it was mainly a battle between experts! For example, first-rate experts led the way while second-rate and third-rate experts assisted, and behind them were some elite gang members! They targeted the leaders and finished off the other party’s gang. This was the most common way of combat for large gangs.
Ordinary gang members? They were truly meaningless in front of a qualified expert.
As for the Flower Moon Gang, they had lost a first-rate expert-a true mainstay expert.

The next morning. Xu Jingming, Miss Ziteng, and Mr. Lu—who had changed looks-met up with Chang Yi and the others.
“Brother Lu, you look much more handsome than before,” Xu Jingming praised with a smile.
“It’s alright.” Mr. Lu’s appearance and hairstyle had changed, and he had become thinner. His weapon had also been replaced with two scimitars.
Even Xu Jingming and Miss Ziteng didn’t dare to openly recognize him. However, they became familiar after chatting for a while because his eyes and tone were still that of Mr. Lu.
Xu Jingming and the others protected an ordinary carriage while the driver drove. The driver’s appearance and hairstyle had changed, as well as his clothes.
Soon, they arrived in front of the official brokerage!
Chang Yi and Qingyu got out of the carriage and immediately saw the tall and muscular Master Zhang Kui in the distance. A group of fierce-looking people followed behind him.
“Hahaha, Young Master Chang, impressive.” Zhang Kui smiled and walked forward. He then cupped his hands and said, “Young Master Chang, you became famous in Lanyue City after the battle last night! Even Elder Feng of the Flower Moon Gang lost his life because of this.”
Chang Yi shook his head and sighed. “Sigh, I didn’t want to be enemies with the Flower Moon Gang either. It’s just that they had already attacked my ancestral mansion. What could I do? I could only fight back! I was forced!”
“Yes, yes, yes. your hand was forced.” Zhang Kui nodded. Anyone with a little background in the city would receive information about yesterday’s battle early in the morning! News regarding the Blood Rain Guard and the three gangs had always been prioritized by many factions in the city.
Chang Yi apologized, “Master Zhang, I’m sorry about the ancestral mansion. Many parts of my ancestral mansion were damaged in the battle last night. I can’t let Master Zhang suffer a loss! I’ll reduce the price we agreed on by 200 taels of silver.”
“There’s no need,” Zhang Kui said straightforwardly. “I valued the land more when buying your ancestral mansion! It was meant to be rebuilt, so it’s fine if it’s damaged.”
Zhang Kui was so forthright because he wanted to befriend Chang Yi. This was because… Chang Yi had truly proven himself in yesterday’s battle!
“Thank you, Master Zhang,” Chang Yi said. “Let’s go. Let’s enter the brokerage.” Zhang Kui led Chang Yi in enthusiastically.
Xu Jingming and the others waited outside the official brokerage, with only Miss Qingyu accompanying them.
Flower Moon Gang.
“Boss, Young Master Chang has brought people to the official brokerage and is making the trade with Zhang Kui,” a spy reported.
The white-haired elder asked, “Who’s with Chang Yi?”
“There are very few people this time,” the spy replied. “Other than the maidservant Qingyu, there are the bodyguards, Jing and Miss Ziteng, as well as two others! One is the carriage driver, and the other is someone with a scimitar at his waist. These two are strangers. The Chang family’s maids and servants don’t know them.”
“Another two more strangers?” The white-haired elder frowned. “It’s only been a night, and new experts have appeared? What about that first-rate expert?”
“We didn’t see him.” The spy shook his head.
“Two strangers appeared, but the first-rate expert didn’t show up.” The white-haired elder shook his head gently. “Forget it. Forget about Chang Yi. Whoever’s willing to deal with him can do so.”
It was time to cut his losses!
One couldn’t be rash when managing a gang. If they continued fighting the Chang family and lost another first-rate expert, the weakened Flower Moon Gang would probably be eaten up by the other factions, and they would drop out of the three gangs.
At the Fei residence.
“Master, this is the information on what happened at the Chang family last night.” Uncle Zhang handed a dossier to his master.
Old Master Fei had just woken up. He lazily flipped through the dossier.
As his son’s status was too high, he didn’t care much about the conflict in Lanyue City because he was too aloof! Be it Commander Wu or the three gangs, none of them dared to provoke him at all. Otherwise, in his rage… His son’s status as the commander-in-chief of the Blood Rain Guard in the empire’s entire eastern region would reduce Commander Wu or the three gangs to ashes with a single word! “A first-rate expert appeared in the Chang family?” Old Master Fei didn’t mind because the experts his son had sent were all first-rate experts.
“Guard Jing isn’t bad.” Elder Fei looked at the dossier and nodded in satisfaction. “He didn’t betray the Chang family despite being threatened by the Flower Moon Gang! He even fought Elder Feng from the Flower Moon Gang? He’s strong and a loyal person.”
The butler nodded as well. “From the information we gathered, one of Chang Yi’s three guards who used blade discs died on the spot! Another is good at flying needles and saber techniques, but she’s inferior in head-on combat. Only Guard Jing was good at head-on combat with a spear and could withstand many of Elder Feng’s moves!”
