"After going through these upheavals I was finally handed down by the inhabitants in an unethical way, even to the point of saying that I should be put to death for causing half of the city to be affected by my actions, even though it was only an issue directed at me... "
The upheaval made the Blood Rain Group come to the surface, they appeared as if they were the helpers the residents had expected. One person named Yu Hongli was appointed by as the representative of the Blood Rain Group.
He acted as if he was a kind person, defending Xie Bing's life and telling the residents, "We must value someone's life, especially Mayor Xie Bing... Sorry, it should be former Mayor Xie Bing, has been accompanying you for over teny years now." That was how he thought - the statement he had made to attract the sympathetic population to him, without the townspeople knowing Yu Hongli was one of the important members of the Blood Rain Group.
Day after day the residents were increasingly hypnotized by the words of Yu Hongli who was only boasting, while Xie Bing had all his property confiscated because it was considered to harm most of the population.
At that time, the only thing that could entertain Xie Bing was her seven-year-old daughter, the one thing that Xie Bing's son knew was that Xie Bing had retired and been demoted from his position honorably. Even though it is far from true.
Even due to Xie Bing's miserable condition, Xie Bing was eventually abandoned by his own wife by bringing along his only child. Xie Bing thought of ending his life back then because it was so frustrating to live it.
However, one day a young man in his 20s opened his eyes, at that time Xie Bing who also had a little martial arts saw the young man being held hostage by the Blood Rain Group because it was considered to defy their orders, back then Yu Hongli the representative of the Blood Rain Group had not yet served as Mayor. Hence, the Blood Rain Group was still doing the cruel things they were doing.
After seeing the situation for quite a while, Xie Bing ended up saving the young man from the clutches of the Blood Rain Group one night, despite not having any blood relation or friendship with the young man Xie Bing still saved him, whether it was due to the kindness of his conscience or indeed his annoyance at the Blood Rain Group when he saw their every action.
The youth saved by Xie Bing was none other than Hu Bing, who currently served as the Patriarch of the Young Sword Association. After Xie Bing saved, the young Hu Bing at that time swore allegiance to always defend Xie Bing and save him. He thought all the kindness Xie Bing could never do he retort.
Until one day due to his coercive circumstances, Xie Bing had to leave Hu Bing to the Young Sword Association, although Xie Bing called it more by leaving Hu Bing.
At that time Hu Bing had never once held a grudge against Xie Bing, whom he knew Xie Bing had deliberately done so because he had to, his condition which is always targeted by the Blood Rain Group makes him have to move - move locations periodically. Because it was also Xie Bing could not linger - long to be near someone.
Until finally the residents who still believe in Xie Bing suggest an idea to Xie Bing. namely, make a settlement whose existence can not be known by the Blood Rain Group.
Back then due to the poor irrigation system, the large tunnel that normally flowed water throughout Jian Yi City was never refilled. Xie Bing's loyal supporters advised the tunnel to be their home.
Although the conditions are not suitable for habitation, such a place is better for supporters of Xie Bing than living together with a scheming person who took advantage of the demotion of Xie Bing.
Coinciding with that Yu Hongli had also served as Mayor Jian Yi. Because of that as well, the Blood Rain Group withdrew from the surface and preferred to do things secretly. Since it was certain that the flow of funds and taxes from the merchants would mostly also be felt by the Blood Rain Group.
Day by day time went on until Xie Bing had lived for five years in the underground city of Jian Yi, with a little hard work finally Xie Bing managed to have a restaurant and bar. But most of the results Xie Bing use for the needs of the underground population.
Because of that, Xie Bing is so respected by young people who do not know the true events related to the circumstances of those who have to live underground.
For the past ten years Jian Yi City under the leadership of Yu Hongli had earned the nickname of the Thousand Merchants City, despite not wanting to admit it, Xie Bing could not deny that Yu Hongli was better than himself in terms of serving as Mayor.
Xie Bing ended his story, then glanced towards Patriarch Bing who was still silently fixated after listening to Xie Bing's past.
"It's more or less what I've been going through over the last ten years, some things I have to be short of like my circumstances that have to endure hunger for up to two days and other things that describe poverty, with respect to that you can definitely imagine it yourself, right?"
Patriarch Bing nodded slowly, hearing the past story of someone who had saved him made Patriarch Bing feel guilty. Patriarch Bing began to ask himself, during these past ten years why had he not attempted to search for Xie Bing's whereabouts?
But this time regretting it was too late, Jian Yi City had been overrun by the black sect and the mayor who had truly sacrificed for its inhabitants, today lived a miserable life. There was nothing he could do except one thing namely, restore Jian Yi City to its original state.
"Sister, why don't you try to carry out a rebellion?" Patriarch Bing looked at Xie Bing seriously, just like the Attitude of someone who was ready to do anything to help his loved ones.
Patriarch Bing's question was quite a shock to Xie Bing, he realized that his foster brother's spirit was still blazing due to his age just entering the heads of three. So, his young soul may still be carried away to this day.
Xie Bing sighed softly, it was undeniable that he wanted to do something like rebellion, either, but the one thing that Xie Bing was worried about was that Yu Hongli might have already prepared with the entire combat power of the Jian Yi City branch headquarters of the Blood Rain Group.
"I admit, that wish had crossed my mind five years ago, when the power of the Blood Rain Group had not been as strong as it was now, but still they were also strong enough to defeat everyone in the city, relying only on the sheer sound power of the residents, I'm not so sure of Hu Bing."
If you talk about it, Xie Bing often shows a disappointed and sometimes sad expression, his feelings are mixed when he sees his own residents injured, and hurt, therefore until now he had never taken such a decision because he realized the great risk that always looms.
Amidst the conversation, a young man suddenly interrupted Patriarch Bing and Xie Bing's conversation.
"In that case, we carry out that plan of rebellion from now on!!"
