C1 Dispute

Inside a dilapidated wooden house, an old man and a young man were conversing. Looking at their quarreling expressions, it was likely that they were arguing with each other.

"Master, are you sure you want me to carry out such a difficult mission?" The youth blinked his large eyes as a pitiful look appeared in them. He hoped that his master would be merciful enough to let him go. It seemed that he was truly unable to accomplish this difficult task.

The old man noticed that the young man seemed to shrink back and a trace of dissatisfaction appeared in his heart. This was such a good mission, he wouldn't be able to get it even if it was requested by others.

"I said that you must carry out this mission, but …" Halfway through his words, the elder started to reveal a riddle. It was obvious that he wanted to fish for the young man's appetite.

"But what? Master, are you coming with me? " Seeing that his master had stopped mid-sentence, the young man thought that there was room for discussion. His eyes immediately lit up, but the anxiety in his heart was still there. He knew that his master was so crafty that he wouldn't go on a mission with him so easily.

"If you complete this mission, I'll agree to let you go to the city to challenge it. Feng, what do you think?" The old man looked at the young man, and a smile that was hard to detect appeared on the corner of his mouth. The old man looked at the young man, and a smile that was hard to detect appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ever since he was young, he had lived with his master on a mountain and wanted to explore the outside world for a long time. However, every time he and his master made a request like this, his master would always say, "The people of the outside world are dangerous, you can't go out for the time being." Time passed. Another three years had passed, and now, the youngster was almost twenty years old.

The young man's full name was Shangguan Xiaofeng. In Shangguan Xiaofeng's memories, he was an orphan, taken in by his Master since young, and then taught to him martial arts and knowledge. Although Shangguan Xiaofeng would argue with his Master sometimes, most of his time was spent listening to his Master.

"Really? Master, do you mean what you say? " Shangguan Xiaofeng blinked with his big eyes, looking at his Master. Shangguan Xiaofeng had been deceived more than once, to the point that sometimes, Shangguan Xiaofeng didn't even know what his Master had said. What he had said was true, what he had said was false.

Seeing that his precious disciple did not believe him, the old man rolled his eyes at Shangguan Xiaofeng in annoyance, "When have I ever broken my promise?" As long as you complete the mission this time and fulfill the promise, you can rest assured. "

"Is that so? The roasted chicken that Grandma Zhang gave me last time, you said that you only ate half of it. In the end, leave me some chicken butt to eat, and … " Shangguan Xiaofeng was counting his Master's sins one by one. Obviously, this was not the first time, otherwise Shangguan Xiaofeng would not be questioning him so.

"Ugh …" Seeing that Shangguan Xiaofeng was actually starting to go over, the old man could not help but feel embarrassed. Immediately, the old man said angrily: "You must carry out this mission, tomorrow morning I must see that person's head, otherwise, according to my agreement with you before, I will destroy your martial arts."

"Alright, I'll go then." Seeing that his Master was truly a little angry, Shangguan Xiaofeng was not a fool. Even a joke had to be done at the right time, wasn't it? If Shangguan Xiaofeng still tried to reason with his Master now, this old man would probably cripple him.

"That's more like it. Go on, this is the reward for the mission." With that, the old man took out an envelope from his pocket. There was no need to say anything else, it was definitely containing Grandpa Mao.

Shangguan Xiaofeng took the letter reluctantly, his lips curled up in a bitter smile. Before Shangguan Xiaofeng could say anything, "Sou …" Shangguan Xiaofeng's Master disappeared in a flash.

Opening the envelope, Shangguan Xiaofeng immediately felt like dying. Indeed, it was the same as before, 200 yuan Grandpa Hairy. What puzzled Shangguan Xiaofeng was, were killers really so worthless now? Even if the killer was worthless, he was still a doctor, and every time he went to treat those nobles, he would still be at 200. Shangguan Xiaofeng suspected countless times that his heartless master had taken all the money.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care so much about it." Sighing slightly, Shangguan Xiaofeng felt a little relieved. However, thinking about how he would be able to go to the city and roam around once the mission was over, Shangguan Xiaofeng became a little excited.

Time flashed by, and soon, night fell, and a bright moon hung in the sky. As the saying goes, a dark night full of killing was destined to be a night to see blood.

The next moment, Shangguan Xiaofeng appeared in a villa. According to his Master's instructions, his target this time was a drug lord, and the reason why Shangguan Xiaofeng did not want to carry out his mission was because he wanted his Master to give him a raise in the prize money through this kind of protest.

Although the villa guards were quite tight, but to Shangguan Xiaofeng, they were all air, things that could be ignored. Very quickly, Shangguan Xiaofeng found his target and kicked the door open, but Shangguan Xiaofeng only looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Has it finally come?" A peculiar smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face as he looked towards Shangguan Xiaofeng and slowly spat out a sentence.

This seemed to be an insult to Shangguan Xiaofeng's IQ. Immediately, a dagger appeared in Shangguan Xiaofeng's right hand, not a common dagger, but a black iron dagger specially crafted by Shangguan Xiaofeng's Master to carry out tasks for Shangguan Xiaofeng.

"You want my life? Let's see if you have the ability …" The middle-aged man let out a low shout, and instantly took out the short spear hidden in his robes and shot towards Shangguan Xiaofeng. "Bang bang bang …"

After a few shots, they did not hit Shangguan Xiaofeng. The current Shangguan Xiaofeng was like a ghost as he instantly appeared behind the middle-aged man, and the dagger that had killed so many people before had already quietly landed on the middle-aged man's neck.

This speed was as fast as lightning, causing people to feel ashamed and scared, just like a middle-aged man whose face had turned grey. As a drug lord, he had seen a lot of things, but this was the first time he had seen such a powerful assassin.

"Don't... "Don't kill me, I'll give you money. I can give you money, no matter how much you want, don't kill me …" He hoped to use money to hold on to his life. After all, if he were to lose his life, then he would need so much money. What use would he have?

"Money?" "I don't lack anything. I only lack one thing." Shangguan Xiaofeng's voice seemed to have come from the depths of hell, it was creepy and terrifying.

"What is that thing …?" "As long as you don't kill me, I can give it to you …" The middle-aged man's forehead was covered in cold sweat. His life was on the line, and he finally knew that this feeling was not easy to bear.

The corner of Shangguan Xiaofeng's mouth curved into a semicircle, his eyes full of murderous intent: "That's your head." As soon as the words left his mouth, Shangguan Xiaofeng cut off the middle-aged man's head and threw him into the black plastic bag that he had prepared earlier. The matter was completed in such a simple manner.

"What a piece of trash. I thought I could play for a while longer." Shangguan Xiaofeng shook his head, a look of disdain appeared in his eyes. The next second, Shangguan Xiaofeng's figure disappeared from the villa.

Returning to the wooden house, Shangguan Xiaofeng threw the middle-aged man's head on the ground, then laid down on the roof and looked at the full moon. It seemed that at this moment, Shangguan Xiaofeng was completely awake, and many times, Shangguan Xiaofeng was confused, he did not know why he was still alive.

The reason why he wanted to go to the city was because he wanted to find the answer. Why he wanted to live.

"Hopefully, everything will go smoothly …" Looking up at the sky, Shangguan Xiaofeng mumbled to himself that the moon in the sky was telling his secret. It was as if after all these years, only the moon in the sky had the right to listen to his thoughts.

Time was flowing like water, the dark night was gradually replaced by light, and unknowingly, night had left quietly, but in the daytime, it had appeared. Shangguan Xiaofeng had just landed on the roof when he smelled a familiar smell, naturally, other than his master who had the stench of a man, no one else would have it.

"How's it going?" The old man smiled at Shangguan Xiaofeng and said slowly, in truth, this mission was not difficult at all. If it was a real dangerous mission, the old man would usually choose to go personally and would not let Shangguan Xiaofeng take the risk.

"There, the thing you wanted is there." He did not know how many people he had actually killed, because he had no statistics on them. However, Shangguan Xiaofeng was tired of living like this, in his world, it seemed that he could only do missions and kill people …

"This, take it." The old man glanced at the black plastic bag, then turned back to look at Shangguan Xiaofeng. He then took out a train ticket from his pocket. Obviously, the old man had done it this time, agreeing to let Shangguan Xiaofeng have a look at the outside world, and he had finally kept his promise.

"A train ticket?" The corner of Shangguan Xiaofeng's mouth curled up in a self-deprecating smile as he took the train ticket from the old man. He froze on the spot, no one knew what he was thinking about.

"Go to Beihai City and find this person called Wang Dahai. I will send the information to your satellite phone. I will definitely do what Master promised you." The old man looked at the disciple he had brought up with one hand and spoke with a hint of peculiarity in his tone.

"Master, are you really going to let me go out and adventure for a bit?" Shangguan Xiaofeng felt as if he was dreaming, was this for real?

"Silly child, enough. You should be going to the train station yourself. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first." As soon as the old man finished speaking, whoosh … With a sound, he disappeared from the spot.

Gripping the train ticket tightly in his hand, the tears in Shangguan Xiaofeng's eyes finally fell as if they had lost all hope.
