Chapter 84 Betrayal
After bidding farewell to everyone and killing the last island slave, I showed off my extraordinary encounter and, as expected, saw the familiar settlement screen.
"She is a fairy who can conjure objects out of thin air and roam freely on the sea."
"He is a doctor who punishes evil and upholds justice, and can also bring the dead back to life."
"She is a goddess who has both compassion for women and the fierce power to glare at them."
"It is hope, it is redemption, and it is also a deterrent."
System: "Congratulations to the player for clearing the game level 'The Legend of Bats' and achieving the ending 'The Never-Fallen Seven Shows'."
System: "The completion reward will be sent to your mailbox one minute after you log out of the game. Please check your mailbox in time."
"Huh?"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she looked on in surprise at the outcome of this encounter.
"The invincible Seven Show Sect? When did I ever mention the Seven Show Sect?"
Showing off the adventure, he checked the settlement interface several times, but couldn't find any clues.
I opened my email, but there was still no message from Zhu'er. Do I have to wait until later to check?
I did receive a letter from Afei.
The letter mentioned that after a deep conversation with his sworn brother Long Xiaoyun, Li Xunhuan once again went into seclusion. Long Xiaoyun also left Li Garden with his wife Lin Shiyin and their child, and their whereabouts are unknown.
Showing off her unexpected encounter, she didn't recognize Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin, and wasn't interested in their whereabouts. However, she really liked the gold notes that Afei had included in the letter.
According to Afei, this money was given to him by the martial arts forces that had joined him after he defeated all the senior figures in the martial arts world. He specially sent this money to buy the snow-capped mountains and grasslands.
In his letter, he complained that the martial arts world was nothing like what he had imagined. He had envisioned a world where victory was based entirely on brute force, without the need for brains. But in their world, there was no fighting and killing; instead, they focused on human relationships and social niceties, which greatly annoyed him.
After patiently reading through the entire long letter, Xiu Qiyu pondered, "How about I find a world where I don't have to use my brain to summon Afei? Give him a chance to realize his dream."
Before she could decide which level to assign Afei to, Kunyu Xuanjing came out to greet her again.
"You're back."
Looking at Kunyu Xuanjing's gentle eyes and brows, Xiuchu suddenly remembered Xie Huai'an from the previous level.
Before he could think it through, his mouth moved faster than his brain and he suddenly asked, "Kunyu Xuanjing, do you like me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted showing off his extraordinary encounter.
Is it inappropriate to ask this question?
Kunyu Xuanjing wouldn't give her a chance to regret it, knowing that he had been waiting for her to come to her senses for a long time.
She nodded firmly: "Yes, I love you."
Even though the answer was within her expectations, she was still taken aback when she revealed her extraordinary encounter.
After a moment of silence, Xiuchu asked another question.
"But can you tell whether your affection for me is because of who I am, or because of those favor-building props?"
Kunyu Xuanjing wanted to tell her loudly, "Of course it's because of you."
But the knowledge instilled in his mind told him that the favorability items in JX3 were indeed that magical. He initially developed a liking for Xiuchu's adventures because of a Jing Liuli.
He seems genuinely unable to tell the difference now.
Looking at the silent Kunyu Xuanjing, Xiu Chuqi actually breathed a sigh of relief.
"So it's very likely because I used too many favor items on you last time, right?"
"Or you could think about it carefully. If it's because of the favor item, try to control its influence on you. Just like the other heroes and stewards, we can be friends."
Kunyu Xuanjing instinctively resisted the suggestion to only be a friend, but he hadn't really thought about it before. To be responsible for him and Xiu Chu's adventure, he had to think it over carefully.
Feeling a mix of disappointment and relief, having reached an agreement with Kunyu Xuanjing, she immediately chose to enter the new level after showcasing her extraordinary encounter.
She should have rested first, but she couldn't fall asleep even if she did, so she might as well play games to keep her mind occupied.
Before entering the new level, I deliberately changed my character's face back to the previous one.
Although Shi Guanyin is undeniably beautiful, she really doesn't want any more NPCs to fall in love with her at first sight.
The face she's using now is also pretty, there's no risk of being harassed, and she doesn't need to explain to acquaintances that she's just showing off her extraordinary encounter.
Let's use this one, it's more convenient!
She was very familiar with the landing point this time; it was the Baichuan Pavilion, which she had personally established.
Who is it?
Before she could even step out the door, Qiao Feng, who had heard the commotion, walked in from outside.
Upon realizing that what had appeared out of nowhere was a miraculous encounter, Qiao Feng's eyes lit up.
"Miss Xiu, you're back!"
Upon landing, she encountered an old friend. She was very satisfied with the location the system had placed for her, as she didn't have to search for the characters in the storyline herself. She smiled and looked at Qiao Feng, saying, "Yes, I'm back."
"How have you been these days?"
Qiao Feng remained silent for a moment.
No way?
Showing off his extraordinary encounter gave him a bad feeling.
Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei are both martial arts masters, and Qiao Feng is even more skilled than them. He has left so many things in Baichuan Pavilion, so why is Qiao Feng in this state?
Remembering what Lu Xiaofeng had warned him before, Xiuchu had a guess in his mind.
"Could it be that the emperor here also wants to bring martial arts practitioners under the jurisdiction of the imperial court?"
Thinking about it this way, Qiao Feng's silence makes perfect sense.
Unlike Lu Xiaofeng's world, where various sects are scattered in different places, the major forces in this realm are all gathered in the capital. Even the most incompetent emperor can easily control the largest gangs as long as he has the power.
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems my previous actions were too hasty."
Qiao Feng, who was at a loss for words, couldn't help but ask when he heard this strange remark, "Miss Xiu, what are you talking about? Haven't you done anything yet?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he firmly believed that his act of selling the Na Yuan Pill to the emperor had ruined the martial arts world. He looked at Qiao Feng and asked in a heavy tone.
"Is it because the emperor sent people to suppress martial arts practitioners? Are others also starting to ostracize our Baichuan Pavilion because of the Na Yuan Dan?"
"No."
Qiao Feng didn't know how Xiu had come to this conclusion after his extraordinary encounter.
"Since Lei Sun of Liufenbantang passed away, his only daughter, Lei Chun, has been supporting Liufenbantang with the support of Di Feijing. But our Baichuan Pavilion is not to be underestimated, and has also taken the opportunity to occupy a lot of territory. Now we stand as a three-way power with Liufenbantang and Jinfeng Xiyulou."
"ah?"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't expected Qiao Feng and his group to have developed Baichuan Pavilion in such a short time.
"Then why were you silent just now?"
Having said that, Qiao Feng could no longer hide it and spoke with a guilty tone.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xiu. You entrusted Baichuan Pavilion to me, but I failed to protect it."
"Although our Baichuan Pavilion has now become one of the largest forces in the capital, there are disagreements within the pavilion. Bai Choufei is gathering people to seize power and become the head of Baichuan Pavilion."
"ah?"
There have been far too many shocking encounters to share today.
"Why did he seize power? Didn't we agree before that I would be the gang leader, and he and Wang Xiaoshi would be equals, both as second-in-command?"
Looking at Xiu's clear eyes and her extraordinary encounter, Qiao Feng didn't know how to answer.
Just as he was thinking about how to phrase his words to minimize the damage to Xiu Chuqi's adventure, a commotion came from outside.
"Qiao Feng is just a acting leader, what gives him the right to suppress you, Boss Bai, the actual founder of Baichuan Pavilion?"
"And that one called 'Showing Off Her Strange Encounters,' who claims to be the Pavilion Master, has never been seen contributing a single bit to the Hundred Rivers Pavilion. How dare she be the Pavilion Master?"
"If you ask me, only you, Boss Bai, are worthy of being the leader of this pavilion. Anyway, all of us brothers are gathered together today. Wang Xiaoshi is out on a mission, and Qiao Feng's confidants aren't in the pavilion either. Shall we take this opportunity to kill Qiao Feng?"
"Even if he is highly skilled in martial arts, he would probably be no match for us brothers working together."
As they were speaking, the door was pushed open.
The group was now completely exposed to the strange encounter.
A suffocating silence filled the room. Bai Choufei never expected that his extraordinary encounter would happen at this moment.
Having heard those words with his own ears, Xiu Chuqi was filled with rage and looked up at Bai Choufei.
Bai Choufei, who was in charge, was completely different from when he first met Xiu Chuqi.
The previously somewhat cheap white clothes were replaced with clothes made of high-quality silk with subtle patterns, and she was also wearing some luxurious ornaments.
Her hair was no longer simply tied up with a strip of cloth, but instead adorned with a jade crown made of beautiful jade.
Now he acts like a nobleman.
"Bai Choufei, did you bring so many people here today just to kill Qiao Feng?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he looked at Bai Choufei's name, which hadn't yet turned red, and spoke softly.
Answer me!
Bai Choufei fell silent.
The man behind him had never seen a woman with such extraordinary experiences. Seeing her showing no respect for Bai Choufei and questioning him in public, he immediately stepped forward to pledge his loyalty.
"And who are you? How dare you speak to our Boss Bai like that?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he didn't take this small fry seriously, but he could tell from his voice that this was the person who had just instigated Bai Choufei to kill Qiao Feng.
Without hesitation, he killed him with a single sword strike.
Looking at the crowd behind Bai Choufei, whose names had all turned red, Xiuchuqiyu slowly spoke.
"I am the Pavilion Master you've been talking about, the one who showed off his extraordinary encounter."
Those who had only heard of Xiu Chuqi's legendary adventures originally held her in some awe, but now that they saw her in person, with her unparalleled martial arts skills and possession of miraculous medicines, they couldn't help but feel a bit contemptuous of her.
"It must be all thanks to those miraculous medicines that he was able to sit on the throne of the Hundred Rivers Pavilion Master."
Those gang members who had already turned red-named all looked at Bai Choufei with this in mind.
Let's see if he will seek justice for his unjustly killed brother.
Bai Choufei was initially a little guilty when he saw Xiu Chuqiyu in the room, but this guilt completely disappeared after Xiu Chuqiyu ruthlessly killed the brother who stood up for him.
We were just strangers who met by chance, and we didn't spend much time together. How deep could our feelings be?
Stepping forward, Bai Choufei closed the eyes of his deceased brother and looked up at Xiu Chuqi.
"The Pavilion Master's first move was a killing blow. Keep in mind that this person is also a disciple of our Hundred Rivers Pavilion. Isn't this going a bit too far?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
How did Bai Choufei become so shameless after not seeing him for a while?
How can you say such a thing?
The other party has already become a red name, and still dared to say that he would kill Qiao Feng. Can't he be killed at this time?
Before anyone could respond to the story of his extraordinary encounter, another of Bai Choufei's underlings spoke up.
"Boss Bai, why are we still talking to them? Let's just go for it."
"Baichuan Pavilion was built by us brothers through blood and sweat. Why should they reap the rewards? Let's betray them!"
Although he hadn't stayed in this world for long, Xiu Chuqi still remembered the original division of labor: Wang Xiaoshi was in charge of charging into battle, while Bai Choufei was in charge of managing the gang's internal affairs.
Later, she summoned Qiao Feng over. Given Qiao Feng's nature of always leading from the front, he wouldn't just sit in the back. How could Bai Choufei and the others say such shameless things?
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he looked at Bai Choufei, who hadn't yet turned red-named, and decided to give him one last chance.
If he remains obstinate, I won't mind killing one more person if he shows off his extraordinary encounter.
"Bai Choufei, what do you have to say?"
With the anticipation of the crowd behind him, Bai Choufei finally spoke.
"We did rely on your miraculous medicine and reputation to establish Baichuan Pavilion, but I also contributed a lot during that time."
"As friends, I truly don't want things to come to this point of bloodshed. How about we each take a step back? You will remain the leader of Baichuan Pavilion, and I will take the brothers who are willing to leave with me to establish our own sect. What do you say?"
"Boss Bai, this won't do! Why should Baichuan Pavilion be..."
Before the underlings could finish speaking, Bai Choufei stopped them.
Unlike those who later joined Baichuan Pavilion and were recruited by him, Bai Choufei had personally witnessed the martial arts skills that showed off her extraordinary encounters, and knew that she was least afraid of being surrounded.
If Qiao Feng were alone here today, he wouldn't necessarily be unwilling to take a gamble. As long as he killed him, Wang Xiaoshi would certainly be dissatisfied, but given his personality, he would only leave in anger, and then Baichuan Pavilion would naturally be his.
But man proposes, God disposes; the unexpected encounter has returned at this very moment!
Even though his martial arts skills had improved considerably in two years, and he had gathered many experts around him, he was still not confident that he could defeat Xiuzhu after her extraordinary encounter, not to mention that she had Qiao Feng by her side, who was becoming stronger and stronger with each battle.
They have absolutely no chance of winning.
Stopping his younger brother from speaking, Bai Choufei looked at Xiu Chuqiyu and asked, "What's your decision?"
What are your thoughts?
Of course not!
Show off your amazing adventure by opening the martial arts assistant.
If Bai Choufei had intended to leave Baichuan Pavilion with his men from the beginning, she naturally wouldn't have forced him to stay. But since he had already discussed with others how to kill Qiao Feng, and now he had even become Huang Ming, how could she let him go?
Bai Choufei's pupils contracted as he watched Xiu Chu take the dragon carp from behind her back after her extraordinary encounter.
A major battle is imminent.
"stop!"
A disheveled figure rushed in.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Wang Xiaoshi.
He looked much the same as before, his eyes were still bright, and his clothing style was simple and neat. Perhaps he was in too much of a hurry when he came over, because his hair was a little disheveled and he looked out of breath.
Seeing that neither side had made a move, Wang Xiaoshi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Xiu, you're back too?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he looked at the green name on Wang Xiaoshitou's head and nodded gently.
Why do you look so disheveled?
Wang Xiaoshi then remembered the message he had received earlier, turned around to look at Bai Choufei, and glanced at the large group of gangsters behind him.
"Brother Bai, why did you bring so many people here today?"
The moment Bai Choufei saw Wang Xiaoshi appear, he already knew that his plan to kill Qiao Feng had been exposed. He also guessed from the action of drawing his sword after showing off his extraordinary encounter that today's events were destined to end badly, so he simply went all out and admitted to his scheme.
"Didn't you already know that?"
Wang Xiaoshi's eyes darkened, and he stepped forward to question, "Why did you do this?"
“Brother Qiao has treated us very well these past few years. He always takes the lead in dangerous situations and never lags behind. He is the most suitable leader. Why do you have to betray him?”
"Leader?" Bai Choufei sneered, "Don't forget, it was the three of us who jointly decided to establish Baichuan Pavilion. Qiao Feng was just a temporary leader chosen after showing off his extraordinary encounter. What makes him worthy of being my leader?"
"Since you know he is the acting leader and acts on my behalf, why are you so openly opposing him? Is there some dissatisfaction you have with me?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he suddenly spoke up, interrupting their conversation.
Bai Choufei paused.
Dissatisfied? Of course he is!
How could he, at such a young age, have such extraordinary martial arts skills, possess various rare medicines capable of easily unleashing bloodshed? He can also summon top-tier masters to help him at will, not to mention the feat of building the Hundred Rivers Pavilion overnight.
All of this indicates that she has a powerful force supporting her.
If that's the case, why would she compete with ordinary people for power and profit, trying to steal their chance to rise above others?
Baichuan Pavilion was just a little toy she set up on a whim, so why did she come back even though she had already left?
Bai Choufei looked at Xiu Chuqiyu with red eyes, and the name above his head appeared even more crimson.
"My biggest complaint about you," Bai Choufei said, taking advantage of everyone's wait for his answer, as he suddenly leaped forward a few steps, attempting a sneak attack: "is why you insisted on coming back?"
The martial arts assistant, which had already been activated, automatically countered attacks when attacked, and pink sword energy began to dance in the room.
"stop!"
Wang Xiaoshi leaped between the two, trying to stop the fight.
But Qiao Feng pulled him out. He held Wang Xiaoshi tightly with both hands.
"Don't hinder the young lady."
Wang Xiaoshi's eyes turned red with anxiety: "But that's Brother Bai, he's no match for Miss Xiu!"
Qiao Feng dared to stop Wang Xiaoshi precisely because he knew this.
Otherwise, he would have been the first to step up and kill Bai Choufei.
Seeing Bai Choufei fall into a disadvantageous position, the group of people who came with him became anxious and rushed up as well.
Just then, the group of people who believed in Qiao Feng arrived. Just as they were about to join the battle, they discovered that Qiao Feng had single-handedly wiped them all out.
The group, who hadn't even joined the battle yet, paused, looking at the person who had shown off their extraordinary encounter with great awe.
At this moment, Qiao Feng took the initiative to come out and greet them.
"Come, come, let me introduce you to the brothers. This is the master of our Baichuan Pavilion, Baichuan Zhenrenxiu, who had an extraordinary encounter."
"The previous leader had left for a period of time, so I, Qiao, have been temporarily serving as the acting leader. Now that the real leader has returned, it is time to hand over the position of leader."
"Chief Qiao..."
Those who came to rescue Qiao Feng were all people who trusted him, and they found it hard to accept this.
Let alone them, even showing off one's extraordinary encounter is unacceptable!
She wants to be the gang leader, but that's for the gang's funds, not for handling gang affairs.
Before anyone could finish speaking, Xiuchu Qiyu interrupted them.
"Isn't this a perfect coincidence? Our second-in-command of Baichuan Pavilion has just betrayed us, so from now on, Qiao Feng, you will be our second-in-command."
"But it's settled then. Even though you're the second-in-command, you'll still be in charge of the gang's affairs. I won't interfere."
Without waiting for their reaction, he walked straight to Bai Choufei, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries.
To be honest, if Bai Choufei didn't insist on the title of gang leader, what would have been wrong with letting him be the de facto leader after Qiao Feng returned?
It's a pity he was too hasty and too ruthless.
Showing off one's extraordinary encounters is acceptable, but not for the other person's ambition. He cannot accept that the other person betrayed his friends for his own ambitions, and even wanted to kill Qiao Feng.
Having watched many movies and TV dramas about people having extraordinary encounters, I know that you must not be soft-hearted at this time. Otherwise, once you let him go, you never know when he might suddenly jump out and stab you in the back.
"I……"
"Miss Xiu..."
Bai Choufei and Wang Xiaoshi both thought that Xiu Chuqiyu would sit down and talk to him. Just as they were about to say something, they saw Xiu Chuqiyu suddenly reach out and thrust forward.
"!!!"
"Brother Bai!"
Large amounts of blood gushed from Bai Choufei's chest, and Wang Xiaoshi cried out in alarm, throwing himself on top of him.
"Why?"
Seeing Bai Choufei staring wide-eyed at him expecting an answer, and considering that they had known each other before, he revealed his extraordinary encounter and answered softly.
"Didn't you all always know? I never show any mercy when I strike."
Bai Choufei then recalled the scene of their first encounter and the extraordinary adventure she had shown, her decisiveness in killing the Seven Fiends, and her ruthless behavior when using the Na Yuan Pill to fish.
He was wrong.
He assumed that the person who shared the extraordinary encounter was a woman, and that she would surely be soft-hearted towards her former friend.
But they forgot that she was also a member of the martial arts world, and a member at the very top. In their world, there was no room for soft-heartedness, only ruthless decisiveness!
With a bitter laugh, Bai Choufei finally closed his eyes.
Wang Xiaoshi was always soft-hearted. He didn't want to see Bai Choufei kill Qiao Feng for power, but he also didn't want to see Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter kill Bai Choufei, even if Bai Choufei was the one in the wrong.
Wiping away his tears, Wang Xiaoshi asked softly.
Why can't we spare his life?
Looking at the protagonist, whose heart was softer than her own, a person who grew up in a peaceful era, Xiu Chuqi only said softly, "If I hadn't returned today, would he have let Qiao Feng go?"
"..."
Wang Xiaoshi fell silent.
He wanted to say that he would stop Bai Choufei, and that Qiao Feng's martial arts were unparalleled and that nothing would happen to him.
But he couldn't bring himself to say these words.
Just like now, he feels that showing off his extraordinary encounter shouldn't have led to Bai Choufei's death, but he also knows that he can't use his own ideas to control others.
"Think about it carefully yourself."
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he didn't continue to persuade her. Instead, he turned to look at the gang members in the room and decided to eliminate the root of the problem and put an end to it completely.
"Today is a big day. Whether it's the betrayal of Baichuan Pavilion or the return of the Pavilion Master, it's worth gathering all the members together for a discussion."
He then hoisted the dragon carp back onto his back and spoke with a firm tone.
"Pass on my order: all disciples of Baichuan Pavilion who are currently away must return. I want to completely eliminate all traitors."

Author's Note: My new pre-order novel, "[Survival for All] I Rely on My Daughter to Become Number One on the Rankings," is available. Those interested, please add it to your favorites!
Just by taking his one-and-a-half-year-old daughter out for a walk, Zhen Ledao and his daughter were caught up in a survival game, where they could only go home after completing the game.
Starting with a C-rank talent: Ordinary is a blessing
Being ordinary is a blessing: moderation is your way of life, and when you are in any competitive activity, your performance will always be in the middle.
Skill 1: When your score is below the median, the system will automatically supplement your resources and rewards to keep your score at the median.
Skill 2: When your score is higher than the median, the system will automatically generate a virtual account to replace your ranking. The ranking rewards will still belong to you, and your rank will be displayed in the middle of the ranking.
Looking at the series of rankings on his personal interface, Zhen Ledao had a bold idea.
From then on, while others lived frugally, she began to spend lavishly, using her precious props to exchange for milk powder.
While others were spending every penny they could barely afford, she was buying diapers at exorbitant prices.
It doesn't matter if she spends it all; the system will provide her with subsidies.
Just when Zhen Ledao thought she and her daughter would keep hiding until they cleared the game, her daughter was finally able to say the words "extract talent" in a coherent way.
Seeing that he also gained four additional mother-daughter synergy skills after his daughter activated her talent, Zhen Ledao fell into deep thought.
"Mom's saying: 'If you don't prune a sapling, it won't grow straight. Hit it!'" Each attack will deduct 20% of the opponent's maximum health. When health is low, a small amount will always remain, because a mother won't kill her child.
She's still a child: She's still a child, so come at me! You can actively convert your own health into an equivalent amount of real shield and release it to the target to absorb damage.
Don't smoke when there are children around: Maintaining a healthy and safe environment for children to grow up in is something all adults should do. When you use this skill, you can dispel all negative states from the target.
The child is asleep, quiet: Who dares to anger a mother who has just put her child to sleep? When you use this skill, you can silence the other party for thirty seconds. After thirty seconds, the skill will expire, and you will enter a berserk state for one minute, during which time your damage will be doubled.
She can fight, withstand attacks, dispel threats, and control enemies—what kind of magical skills are these? It turns out her daughter is her secret weapon!
