Chapter 354: 0291: Divine Power Showdown! Who is the Leader, after all? (Added Chapter 12 for monthly tickets)_2

"You’ve finally stopped fighting. Brother Qiao, are you alright?"

Just then, Azhu hurriedly ran over from the side, anxiously concerned as she gazed at Qiao Feng.

"Ah!"

Qiao Feng raised his hand with a smile, "I’m just a bit exhausted. I’ll be fine after I rest for a while and have a few drinks, Azhu, don’t worry."

As he spoke, Qiao Feng thought of something and looked at Azhu with furrowed brows, "Azhu, are you really Duan Zhengchun’s daughter? You..."

Azhu’s color changed, and she said sorrowfully, lowering her head, "Brother Qiao, I’m sorry, I’ve never dared to tell you. You see..."

She took out a golden lock plate from her bosom, and said mournfully, "AZi has a golden lock plate, just like this one, and it also has twelve characters engraved on it. The words on hers are: ’Bamboo by the lake, lush and green, bringing peace and joy.’

My lock plate says, ’Stars in the sky, bright and sparkling, forever brilliant, peace everlasting.’

I...I never knew what it meant before, I thought it was merely a fine phrase, but it turns out to be the embedded name of my mother.

My mother is that woman Ruan... Ruan Xingzhu.

These lock plates were gifts my father gave to my mother; she gave one to each of us sisters to wear around our necks."

Towards the end, Azhu could not help but weep in grief, "The man who killed your father and mother, is actually my father, alas, God’s arrangement really treats us too harshly, and moreover..."

"And ’moreover’ my ass!"

Jiang Dali suddenly barked sharply in a cold tone, striding over, "Who says Duan Zhengchun is the Leader? I’m the first to disagree."

Qiao Feng and Azhu were both stunned and looked towards Jiang Dali.

"Hero, you seem to know something?" A thought struck Qiao Feng, and he quickly asked.

Jiang Dali gave a sneering smile, "Qiao Feng, I’m surprised someone as strong as you could be so blinded by hatred that you can’t think things through. Let me ask you, how many years ago did your parents die?"

Qiao Feng answered, surprised, "It was over thirty years ago."

At this point, his body trembled slightly as he vaguely guessed what Jiang Dali was alluding to.

But this guess, he had already answered for himself earlier. Now, being questioned in such a manner, the answer seemed untenable.

Indeed, Jiang Dali grinned sardonically, "How old is Duan Zhengchun this year? Was he old enough to be the Leader over thirty years ago?"

Qiao Feng frowned deeply, unable to stop himself from voicing the answer he had previously considered, "The man is naturally flirtatious, perhaps he was particularly concerned with appearances, skilled in preserving his youth."

Jiang Dali scoffed coldly, "Even if he can preserve his youth, could he really have been the Leader, superior to others thirty years ago, when even the likes of Duan Yanqing are more than he can handle now without your help?"

With these words, Qiao Feng was rendered speechless once again.

Azhu was also taken aback.

Neither of them were fools.

In the apricot grove, Qiao Feng had single-handedly changed the tide, preventing the schemes of Mrs. Ma and Quan Guanqing from succeeding, and under Wang Jiantong’s leadership afterward, he had managed to make a great name for Beggar Gang in the Martial World, earning awe and respect, all thanks to his intelligence.

However, even the strongest person, when faced with intense hatred, is still unable to control themselves.

Or perhaps, he was pushed almost to a dead end by a series of events unfolding right before his eyes, leaving him no chance to think.

To discover the identity of the Leader, Qiao Feng had arrested Tan Gong, Tan Po, Zhao Qiansun, among others.

But before long, the three died violently, and the murderer acted right under his nose.

Subsequently, his foster parents and the mentor who raised him met similar fates, each time he was one step too late.

This kind of despair was beyond words and gradually ate away at his sanity and clarity.

And Azhu, so clever, when hatred befell the two people she loved most, also lost her ability to think, proving the truly terrifying power of vengeance.

At this moment, awakened by Jiang Dali’s question like a sudden strike on the head.

Qiao Feng and Azhu both came to a sudden realization.

Azhu couldn’t help but be overjoyed, while Qiao Feng immediately turned eagerly to Jiang Dali, "Then do you know who the Leader really is?"

Jiang Dali certainly knew who the Leader was.

However, he couldn’t disclose that now, as he suspected Xiao Yuanshan might be nearby.

Because at that moment, he felt a sense of unease in his heart, as if being targeted by a mighty prehistoric beast.

This condition made him realize that Xiao Yuanshan might be lurking nearby.

The adversary had been scheming to ruin the Leader’s reputation and had deliberately obstructed Qiao Feng’s quest for the Leader, becoming an obsession.

At this point, even if he and Qiao Feng searched around with their combined efforts, they wouldn’t likely find Xiao Yuanshan, who was determined to stay hidden.

To Jiang Dali, Xiao Yuanshan’s ability to conceal himself seemed even more formidable than Shadow Swordsman Yang Xu Yan,

After all, this was a man who could commit murder right under Qiao Feng’s eyes repeatedly, remained undetected in the Martial World for many years, and was incredibly difficult to catch.

Nevertheless, at this moment, he also had no intention of revealing Xiao Yuanshan’s identity to Qiao Feng. Even before resolving this matter with Qiao Feng, he had never fully intended to reveal the truth.

Sometimes, it’s better to provide some motivation and direction, rather than delivering a harsh awakening.

Moreover, even if he disclosed this information to Qiao Feng without Xiao Yuanshan presenting himself, Qiao Feng might not believe it, and it might even bring him trouble instead.

Just like if he had stopped Qiao Feng from killing Duan Zhengchun earlier, rather than intervening when Azhu impersonated Duan Zhengchun, it could have led to different outcomes.

Thoughts whirling in his mind, Jiang Dali grunted in response, "If I knew who the Leader was, why would I have come all this way to find you? In fact, I was blamed for no reason.

A couple of months ago, a tipster informed me that you were seeking revenge against someone claiming to be the Leader, urging me to be cautious.

I was sitting in the village, minding my own business when suddenly I was blamed, naturally feeling aggrieved.

So, I also started secretly investigating your matter and knew you were heading to Little Mirror Lake, so I followed.

Now, not only do you want to find out who the Leader is, but I also really want to know who would dare to brazenly impersonate me and misuse my nickname!"

Qiao Feng couldn’t respond to these words.

Thinking to himself that even if it was impersonating a nickname, with his age, the Leader would have already been well-known thirty years ago.

Moreover, he had never thought that the Leader might be a mountain bandit leader, and your spontaneous declaration to clear your name, suggesting someone misrepresented your nickname thirty years ago, seems far too coincidental...
