Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Who will live and die with me?!!!!(5th update)
Huang Xiaolong stepped onto the lawn, basking in the sun, utterly at ease and entirely in his element.

Yes, the soft green grass was really comfortable under his feet. His relaxed demeanor suggested he was truly here to attend Old Master Gao’s eightieth birthday celebration.
The first ones to react were the members of Gao Family seated on the stage. They erupted in a fit of rage.
They were well aware of the deep-seated feud between their family and this seemingly unassuming young man.
Several violent clashes had led to the death of hundreds.
Unfortunate for the Gao family, their own henchmen were the ones who ended up biting the dust each time.
It was a very significant day for the Gao Family, yet Huang Xiaolong dared to show up! Not only did he show up, but he also claimed he had brought a wreath for Old Master Gao.
This was obvious troublemaking!
What an audacious act!
“You’re courting death! You walked right into the trap!”
“Beast! You’re the one we’ve been waiting for! You’re dead meat!”
“Beast! We’ve been looking for you, and you dare to show up? Good! Good! Today, we will settle both old and new scores!”
“No one who offends the Gao Family ends well! Prepare to be chastised!”
“We must grind his bones to dust! We need to catch this kid and grind him to ashes!”
…
The family members on the stage were all hurling threats and insults at Huang Xiaolong.
Rage, fury, murder intent, disdain— a maelstrom of emotions were boiling over.
Old Master Gao’s pupils had constricted to the size of needle points, his eyes filled with demonic rage as he glared fixedly at Huang Xiaolong.
Face-to-face with his enemy, his anger was even more palpable!
The guests on the lawn soon fell into a slight state of chaos.
Most of the guests were unfamiliar with Huang Xiaolong, but they all heard him clearly state his intentions of presenting a wreath to Old Master Gao, which immediately led to a barrage of condemnations.
However, they found the situation somewhat amusing—what kind of day was today? A grand occasion big enough to shake up the whole of Binhai!
It was Old Master Gao’s eightieth birthday!
Who were the guests? Prestigious individuals!
Several generations of the Gao family were present, alongside countless bodyguards, fighters, and covertly stationed powerhouses.
Good god! A lonesome teenager attempting to stir up trouble, was he fed up with living?
You’re obviously here for a suicide mission, aren’t ya?
Thus, many prying eyes turned towards Huang Xiaolong, taking pleasure in his misfortune.
Those who knew Huang Xiaolong, on the other hand, reacted more markedly.
“Oh no! Little Long really did come!” Lin Jing’s pretty face tightened in concern. “No! If anything goes awry later, I must ensure Little Long leaves safely!”
“My teacher is really awesome! This is what you call going solo into a party! My teacher, Lin Zicong, is indeed passionate! Damn it! Today, I’m going to join my teacher!” Lin Zicong licked his lips in anticipation.
In the Sun family:
“Grandpa! He… he’s here!” Sun Wei said, anxious and excited, watching Huang Xiaolong. “He really came! Grandpa, what should we do?”
“Weiwei, as a True Disciple of that senior, our Sun family should naturally provide full support!” commanded Old Master Sun. “Listen well, everyone from the Sun family! If the True Disciple of the senior gets into a conflict with the Gao Family later, we mustn’t hesitate and take sides immediately! We cannot upset that senior! Besides, a few days ago, that disciple of the senior had completed all the lost moves from Sun Bin’s Fist for us, which is a huge favor to our family!”
Zhaoyue Fang was also a bit frantic. “Master… why did Master come? Dad, you… you… tell Old Master Gao not to make things difficult for the Master! Master saved my life!”
Mayor Fang Shijie displayed a contemplative look, then patted his daughter Zhaoyue Fang’s back. “Zhaoyue, don’t worry, I’m here; the situation won’t get out of hand.”
As for the others, such as Cui Feiyan, Chairman Qiu, Chairman Cui, Brother Zhao Qi, and those who had benefitted from Huang Xiaolong’s kindness, they were all sweating for Huang Xiaolong at this moment.
At the same time, the various assassins, mercenaries, wanted criminals, martial arts experts, and bandits hiding in the garden hired by Gao family had put their hands into their pockets to grip their weapons. Every muscle in their body was taut, highly concentrated. As soon as Old Master Gao gave the command, they would spare no effort to surround and attack Huang Xiaolong!
From within the surrounding bushes and flower beds, Huang Xiaolong could clearly hear the sounds of gun chambers being locked and loaded.
He didn’t need to guess to know that at this very moment, numerous gun barrels were pointed at him.
Yet Huang Xiaolong strode leisurely toward the main stage, appearing entirely fearless, his face adorned with a jovial smile.
“Hmm~~ Don’t rush…” Old Master Gao made a calming gesture with his hand, signaling to his allies planted among the guests to refrain from acting recklessly.
After all, there were many influential people at the banquet, including numerous dignitaries. If a gunfight broke out, it would spiral out of control.
Moreover, the old master of the Gao Family didn’t want to kill Huang Xiaolong in front of the mayor and the chief of public security.
We’re living in a peaceful era where you cannot simply kill people ostentatiously.
Besides, the old master of the Gao Family didn’t believe Huang Xiaolong would be able to calmly escape today!
There were nearly 1,000 people planted in the banquet alone, including all sorts of powerful figures!
With Huang Xiaolong attending the feast alone, even if he were a god, he wouldn’t possibly come out unscathed!
“You really came alone? Where are those murderous bandits that follow you? Why didn’t they come with you?” The old master of the Gao Family coldly stared at Huang Xiaolong. If looks could kill, Huang Xiaolong would’ve been ripped apart by now.
“The people behind me?” Huang Xiaolong looked baffled. “I have always worked alone…”
“Hahaha~~ Do you really think I would believe your words?” The old master of the Gao Family laughed arrogantly. “However, the fact that you passed all the checkpoints and got here alone shows some capability. Still, here’s a piece of advice for you. Don’t think that just because you’re good with your hands, you can do as you please. The world is vast with many powerful figures, and you’re just a drop in the ocean…Humph! The devastated state of my son and daughter-in-law today are all thanks to you!”
The parents of Gao Tianxiang were pushed out, looking dazed, sparking outrage among many guests in the lawn.
“You little bastard, wanting to die alone is one thing, but dragging your family, friends, and relatives into this mess is unacceptable,” the old master of the Gao Family squinted, looking at his foolish son and daughter-in-law, a wave of ruthless aggression surged within him. “Today, it’s my 80th birthday, and friends from all around are here to celebrate, making me happy. I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel, mutilate your hands and feet, and I guarantee you a way out. I can’t assure the safety of your family and friends if you obstinately persist in the wrong course! Tragedy could strike them all due to your actions!”
“Ah~~ threatening me again.” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed a murderous look, he shook his head, “Never mind, let me send you the wreath first.”
As soon as he finished his words, strange bird cries came from the sky!
People couldn’t help but look up and saw a flock of crows swiftly flying over, dragging a huge wreath!
The eyes of these crows were blood-red, they were a rare species called Red-eye crows!
Crows have always been considered as birds of ill omen in Huaxia folklore.
Proverbs like “a crow flying over one’s head is a bad omen” and “a crow’s call is a harbinger of misfortune” are popular among the people.
A flock of red-eyed crows dragging a huge wreath to the Gao Family’s ancestral home was too eerie!
It made the old master of the Gao Family seethe with anger!
The next second, the crows loosened their claws, and the wreath fell from the sky, precisely landing upon the ceremony stage!
It was only then, under the gaze of everyone, did the crows fly away.
(Actually, these crows were all paper-made by Huang Xiaolong, with talismans stuck on them to make them look real. As for the wreath, it was delivered to the Gao family’s ancestral home a few days ago by Gao Tianxiang, who was working secretly with Huang Xiaolong.)
All of this was seamlessly planned.
Looking at the wreath on the stage, the old master of the Gao Family finally went berserk!
It was his 80th birthday!
And someone sent a wreath!
Wasn’t this cursing him to die?
Wasn’t this turning a celebration into a mourning?
“This is outrageous! Truly outrageous!” The old master of the Gao Family was shrieking hysterically. “Everyone! Today, I’m not going to be polite! You all saw what’s happening! This little bastard has gone too far! As the saying goes, ‘those who walk the right path have many helpers, while those on a wrongful path have few.’ His actions must have incited public outrage! Today, I’m going to take him down!”
“You little bastard, today, heaven is angry and the people are resentful! No one will stand with you!” The old master of the Gao Family glared ferociously at Huang Xiaolong. “Surrender!”
Huang Xiaolong, unconcerned, responded. “What do you mean by ‘those who walk the right path have many helpers, while those on a wrongful path have few’? What is the ‘right path’? Do you think you’re qualified to say such things? Hahaha~~~ I’m hated by heaven and men? Good!”
Huang Xiaolong swept his gaze across the guests on the lawn, “Today, Old Master Gao says I’m hated by heaven and men, and no one will stand by me. Now, I want to see if what he said is true!”
Then pointing to a cleared part of the lawn, he said, “Whoever is willing to stand with me, go over there!”
As these words were uttered…
“Hahaha~~~~~ Is this man an idiot? Who would dare to side with him in this situation?”
“The Gao family is truly furious now, they will do whatever it takes to vanquish him. Standing by him would mean opposing the Gao family, right?”
“Even if he does have friends, none of them would dare to stand out at this point.”
…
At the banquet, sneers filled the air.
“Hahahaha~~~~~~~” The old master of the Gao Family laughed wildly. “All the guests here today are friends of the Gao family. Do you really hope someone will stand by your side? Hahaha~~~~~ You’re daydreaming! I would like to see who will dare stand out!”
“Hehe, it seems like the Gao family wants me dead today… hmm, all my friends, please stand up. Let’s see today if there’s anyone willing to stand by me.” Huang Xiaolong said cheerfully, “Who’s with me, through thick and thin?!”
All eyes then turned to the empty spot on the lawn Huang Xiaolong pointed at!
Would anyone step forward to stand with Huang Xiaolong, sharing life and death?
