Chapter 90 The Wolf Gang
Chapter 90 The Wolf Gang
Yun Luobai's composure in the face of Leng Xiao was different from his refined and easygoing demeanor in front of others.
A cold intuition told him that the boy in front of him, who was about the same age as him, was not afraid of him.
Neither his status as the young master of the Myriad Tribulations Sect nor his remarkable martial arts skills were enough to instill fear in him.
"How do you know my cousin?"
"It's a long story, confirming her identity was just a side matter. I've already mentioned my purpose for coming here, so I won't go into details. Wen Zhao is downstairs, do you want to go see her?"
"I'm not going."
"If she chases after you and tries to fight you again, you'll have to figure out how to handle it yourself."
Are you threatening me?
"No, it's not like I'm fighting you."
Yun Luobai casually shrugged, then downed the tea in his cup in one gulp, and got up to leave.
He sneered, wanting to reach out and ask about the details of how he and his cousin met, but ultimately made no move.
He watched as Yun Luobai left his superior room, and even closed the door behind him.
"Clouds Fall White..."
He scoffed, "I've never heard of that name before."
Most of the young people he knew were talented young men from various sects in the martial arts world. He only learned about Wen Zhao by chance when he heard that a girl with high martial arts skills had emerged in the Hundred Darts Competition, which led him to come to Ningzhou Prefecture to compete with Wen Zhao.
However, after fighting Wen Zhao, he suddenly became less indifferent to winning or losing than before.
He deliberately lost to the young talents of various sects in the martial arts world before, essentially because he was angry with his father and wanted to make the dignified leader of the Wan Jie Sect lose face.
However, Wen Zhao is really strong, so strong that he has absolutely no chance of winning if he doesn't use his family's Reincarnation Demon-Slaying Spear.
As for whether using it will lead to victory...
Leng Xiao didn't want to think about it anymore, and he didn't want to fight Wen Zhao again.
Once his injuries were healed, he secretly ran away under the cover of night. By the time Wen Zhao discovered that he had already left Ningzhou Prefecture, it was too late.
What, could it be that she can still find the Myriad Tribulations Gate located in the Free and Unfettered Sea?
On the other side, Yun Luobai walked down the stairs and when he saw Wen Zhao again, a sumptuous meal was laid out in front of the latter.
Wen Zhao didn't touch her chopsticks, but sat obediently on the bench waiting for Yun Luobai to return.
"Second Brother, why are you so late? The food's all cold, and the beef noodles will get soggy!"
"He's not coming."
"Who cares? Once he's healed, I'll beat him up every day."
"..."
Yun Luobai smiled and then gestured for Wen Zhao to start eating, at which point the latter began to enjoy her meal.
Wen Zhao held Yun Luobai in an unusual level of respect.
In contrast, despite being the same older brother, Wen Zhao's way of treating Yun Luobai was subtly different from his way of treating Ning Qi and Qing Chuan.
Yun Luobai had noticed this when they spent time together before, but Ning Qi and Qing Chuan didn't seem to care.
Yun Luobai always felt that the relationship between the four of them was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. However, in the book that recorded Yun Luobai's growth process, the other three were childhood playmates who grew up together and had a good relationship with each other.
Ning Qi is an ordinary constable in the government. He is honest, kind-hearted, and always willing to help others in times of trouble. He will let Yun Luobai escape first while he stays behind to cover the retreat.
Wen Zhao is the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Wen Family Escort Agency. He is highly skilled in martial arts but is straightforward and outspoken, and is by no means a meticulous person.
What about Qingchuan?
"Qingchuan went to a brothel again?"
"Well, no one else in the general's mansion knows what he's up to. But what could he possibly be doing? He's probably off visiting brothels to see the most beautiful courtesans..."
Wen Zhao answered Yun Luobai's question while slurping up mouthfuls of beef noodles.
Logically speaking, Wen Zhao should have scoffed at Qing Chuan's behavior when she said that, but she didn't react that way. Instead, her tone was calm, as if visiting a brothel was a perfectly normal thing.
To be precise, it should be said that visiting brothels in Qingchuan is a very common occurrence.
If Qingchuan were a playboy who frequented brothels all day, Wen Zhao, with his personality, would definitely find him extremely distasteful and even disdainful of associating with him.
Yun Luobai was worried about revealing her identity, so she didn't dare to ask the reason directly. After thinking it over, she decided to go back and look through the contents of that book again, hoping to find something unexpected...
While the two were having their meal at the Ruyi Inn, several martial arts figures entered the inn and sat around a table by the window.
People from the martial arts world are always slightly different from ordinary people in their clothing and appearance. Some wear uniforms of their sect, while others carry weapons and wear conspicuous attire from various social groups, making them easy to identify.
Yun Luobai didn't have the same enthusiasm for food as Wen Zhao. His fortune-telling business involved sitting there all day fiddling with fortune-telling tools and talking a lot, which didn't consume much physical energy, so naturally he couldn't eat much.
His gaze unconsciously lingered on those martial arts figures. It seemed that these people belonged to the same martial arts gang, as they carried different weapons. The clothing of martial arts disciples from righteous sects was much simpler compared to these people, and their weapons were mostly uniform, mainly swords and sabers.
As soon as the group sat down, the waiter came to greet them. They were very loud when ordering, and didn't care at all about the feelings of the other customers around them.
"Second brother, why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"
"No, I'm eating."
"Eat more. If you don't like it, I'll take you to the General's Mansion for dinner next time. The new chef at Third Brother's house is incredibly skilled. He must have been hired the year before last. You probably haven't tasted his delicious dishes yet; they're so good..."
As Wen Zhao spoke, she kept serving food to Yun Luobai, and soon the bowl of beef noodles in front of Yun Luobai was piled up like a small mountain.
"Oh, right, I forgot to mention, Second Brother, you're a meticulous person. Waiter, bring another empty bowl to serve my Second Brother some food!"
Wen Zhao called out loudly to the waiter, but Yun Luobai quickly waved his hand.
"No need, this is fine..."
Wen Zhao looked at Yun Luobai's face, then followed his gaze to the direction of the waiter, who was still smiling as he listened to the martial arts figures ordering food.
Wen Zhao thought Yun Luobai was afraid of causing trouble, so she immediately pouted.
"Those people must be from the Canglang Gang."
"The Gray Wolf Gang? Do you know them?"
"I don't recognize them, but I met members of the Canglang Gang when I was escorting goods to Shenjiazhuang before. The shoulder ornaments on their left shoulders were made of wolf skin. You can see that they all wear the same shoulder ornaments."
"I see."
"Second brother, don't worry. If they dare to say anything, even if I went out without a gun, I can take them down with my bare hands!"
Wen Zhao clenched his fist and gestured to Yun Luobai, who smiled and nodded. Then he noticed that the Canglang Gang members were looking at him.
Unfortunately, the distance between their two tables wasn't far, so Wen Zhao's words clearly reached their ears.
Wen Zhao didn't take it to heart; she had experienced this kind of thing many times before.
She let out a burp, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, turned to look at the Canglang Gang members, and gave them a half-smile.
