Why do I have so many masters?-Chapter 473 - 133: Youthful Spirit (Two in One)_2
```
"Miss, this... this..."
"That bastard truly slipped away... but it's not our fault, he can't blame us..."
"It was this brat who insisted on making a move, took advantage of our unpreparedness, and let that man go."
As he pleaded his case, he gestured accusingly towards Anfeng.
The young girl frowned and looked at Anfeng, saying:
"Hey, ugly man, was it you who spoiled this lady's plans?"
Anfeng felt displeased in his heart, feeling that despite the girl's beauty, she had a truly unreasonable nature. He snorted coldly and said:
"Since you wanted to kill him, naturally I had to save his life."
"Don't tell me that in the lands of the Great Qin, murder is permissible?"
The girl was taken aback by his retort, her face turning slightly red as she said:
"You, you, you..."
Anfeng's gaze swept past the two men standing behind the girl, his wooden sword lifted slightly as he said:
"What's the matter? The renowned Red Gang, preparing to gang up on a mere child of fourteen years old? How impressive!"
At this time, the girl finally regained her composure, raised her hand to stop the gang members angered by this comment, she looked at Anfeng and coldly huffed:
"Standing up for justice?"
"Do you even know who that person is?"
Anfeng frowned and said, "Regardless, murdering is wrong..."
A hint of derision appeared on the girl's pretty face as she said:
"Even if that person is a treacherous scoundrel who caused families to be torn apart and lives to be lost, do you still think the same?"
"Then you really are a magnanimous hero, aren't you!"
Anfeng was taken aback for a moment.
At that moment, from the other end of the street, a burly man drove a carriage towards them. The carriage stopped steadily in front of the crowd. The coachman, seeing so many people, each armed with weapons, couldn't help but show hesitation on his face.
But just then, there was a sound from inside the carriage and the curtain was pushed aside, revealing an old crone with a face full of sorrow. The driver dismounted and rushed to assist the old woman get off.
The demeanor of the young girl softened considerably, she cast a sidelong glance at Anfeng, and with a disdainful snort from her nose, she quickened her pace to support the old woman.
The old woman looked at her, asking urgently with eagerness in her face:
"Miss, did you catch that man..."
On the elderly person's face was a mixture of hope and a trace of hatred.
The young girl's face was gentle as she offered comfort:
"He's slippery and unfortunately got away."
"But rest assured, old mother, in a few days, we will surely capture him and bring you justice..."
The old woman's face showed first disappointment and then gratitude.
The girl supported the elderly woman as they entered the Red Gang's mansion.
She didn't even glance at Anfeng as she left.
The young man's body had stiffened.
The burly man who had fought with him earlier rubbed his sore shoulder, glaring maliciously at Anfeng, and sneered coldly:
"See that, hero?"
"That Cui, relying on his background with the Shenfeng Hall, caused so much trouble, colluded with those corrupt officials. We of the Red Gang couldn't stand it and finally captured him... and now, thanks to you, it's all been for nothing!"
"A hero you are? More like a shit-stirrer if you ask me!"
"Pah!"
A gob of spit landed right in front of Anfeng, the burly man turned, cursing as he walked inside, and the surrounding Red Gang martial artists, seeing that the girl had gone back, also lost their fighting spirit. Muttering foul village curses, they all returned to the mansion.
Two men remained guarding the gate, simply standing with swords in hand, too lazy to glance at the youth frozen on the spot, speechless.
Wang Anfeng leaned against the somewhat cold wall of the alley, heaving a sigh but not coming forward.
He had an idea of what Anfeng must be feeling at that moment.
He hadn't experienced such a scene before, yet it felt eerily familiar.
Every person who wanders the Jianghu inevitably goes through something like this: the hearts of people are more ghostly than the edge of blades, deceived, used, and then one grows... this is a lesson every qualified person of the Jianghu must learn, one that only they can overcome.
It was also, in a sense, a price to be paid.
But Shenfeng Hall...
Wang Anfeng tapped his brow as he contemplated.
Since the Fire Refining Sect began its seclusion and Pharmacist Valley perished, three major sects had risen in Fufeng, and he had already encountered two of them in this period, even forming considerable enmity with the Immortal Pavilion, as well as having contact with the Red Gang.
This third power, Shenfeng Hall, had finally appeared.
It seems they lowered their standards for recruiting Jianghu folk to expand their power, which resulted in a mix of good and bad disciples within the sect.
Even such filthy creatures could have connections with Shenfeng Hall.
At this point, he suddenly realized, he had almost come into contact with all the Jianghu forces of any significance in Fufeng...
With Fire Refining in seclusion, Pharmacists extinct, Red Gang, Immortal Pavilion, Shenfeng in a three-way power struggle, many bloody storms had been stirred.
Beyond these three major sects, the Taoist Weiming Sect stood independent, not interacting with the others, its chief disciple Mu Shanxue roamed the Jianghu, and just half a month prior, the once declining Heavenly Sword Sect had also regained its reputation.
The Twenty-Seven Allied Gangs and the Tan Family of Xi Dingzhou joined the Giant Whale Gang, greatly increasing its influence and reputation, potentially becoming the dominant force in Fufeng, a title not yet secured due to the absence of a decisive master to cement their status.

Besides these forces, there was the reclusive Hidden Sect known as Qingfeng Edge, wielding power in their domain.
