Chapter 369.
Yan Wushuang did not move.
She sat there, quietly looking at Jiang Ran:
“Are you seriously letting me go?”
“This is an odd thing to ask …… Haven’t I already said it just now?”
Jiang Ran was a bit surprised:
“Otherwise what’s the point of keeping you here?”
“Although I don’t know exactly what you guys are going to do, but as of now, what you guys are doing is bound to be extremely secretive.”
Yan Wushuang said softly:
“Do you …… really believe me?”
“……”
Jiang Ran cried and laughed a little for a moment:
“So that’s what I thought ……”
“What did you think?”
Yan Wushuang froze for a moment.
“I thought that you thought I couldn’t let you go.”
Jiang Ran looked at her with a smile.
Yan Wushuang blushed slightly, then coughed and said:
“Have something to say properly …… for no reason, you shouldn’t have plans to do something monstrous to me?”
“Again ……”
Jiang Ran refilled his cup of tea:
“Yan will head you have to be careful with your words, this word spreads out, but it will be misunderstood.”
“You are gagging.”
Yan Wushuang glanced at Jiang Ran and shook his head:
“I know that you actually, don’t trust me that much ……
“This time you came to save me, and not purely just for me, but for your own purposes.”
“That’s not necessarily true.”
Jiang Ran gently rattled his teacup:
“In my person, I have always been one to repay favors with favors, and to take revenge with revenge.
“Yesterday, when I visited the Hundred Treasures Society, I found that you weren’t there, and there was that talk from Changsun Wuji, and that’s why I expected you to have an accident.
“And this thing, or because of me.
“And how can I ignore it?”
“That’s all?”
Yan Wushuang cocked her head at him.
Jiang Ran then waved his hand:
“What are you trying to say by pursuing the root of the matter?”
After saying this, the two looked at each other, each speechless.
Finally Yan Wushuang slowly stood up:
“I’ll leave first then.”
“For nearly a month, I will be at the Princess’ Mansion.”
Yan Wushuang, who was heading out, had her footsteps lurched and gave a soft ‘hmm’, her footsteps gradually fading away afterwards.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, picked up his teacup and drank it in one go.
……
……
The capital city was very lively these two days.
Yesterday, Jiang Ran, the Amazing Divine Blade, visited the Hundred Treasures Society.
Changsun Wudi driving to meet, heard that the two people talk to each other, and finally Changsun Wudi sent Jiang Ran away, enough to send out three streets.
I thought that this friendship, again is a good story.
But I did not expect, that night the hundred treasures building was attacked by a group of mysterious people.
To wait for the arrival of the officials, the attackers have long since fled.
Hundred Treasures will be a scene of a scene, dead and wounded.
More will head Sun Wuji, do not know where, until now there is no news.
In the teahouse, all parties, casual conversation.
The things that happened in these two days, there is a lot of discussion.
Someone asked:
“What do you guys say, what kind of person is the one who attacked the Hundred Treasures Society this late at night?”
“Who can know?”
“I heard that at the time of the incident, some good people heard that these people were after wealth.”
“Nonsense, the attack was on the Hundred Precious Society, what does the Hundred Precious Society have besides money?”
“Since the death of the old head of the Guild, the Hundred Precious Guild has really become more and more different as well.”
“But saying it was for money, that ten thousand taels of gold is still there.”
“Could it be that there is a feud? But Changsun Wuji smiles and welcomes guests from all directions, never seen him red-faced with anyone, how could …… he be?”
“You have only seen him a few times ah.”
In the midst of the crowd’s chatter, a voice suddenly came:
“Have you all thought about a possibility?”
The people in the teahouse all looked towards the person who spoke, and saw that person sitting in a corner of the teahouse, placing the teacup on top of his palm and gently rubbing it.
It seemed to be warming his hands.
As for what this person looks like, but no one can see clearly.
His head was wearing a bucket hat, with a black cloth hanging on the edge of the hat, completely covering his entire face in it.
Just listen to the man say:
“In the daytime, Jiang Ran visited the Hundred Treasures Society, and at night, the Hundred Treasures Society was attacked.
“Among these two events, perhaps they are not unrelated.”
“You mean, Jiang Ran found someone to attack the Hundred Precious Society?”
There was a loud laughter in the arena as everyone felt that this speculation was too unreliable.
Just then, he saw the man shake his head:
“Naturally, it won’t be Jiang Ran …… But have you all ever thought that at the meeting yesterday, Changsun Wuji and Jiang Ran met each other as if they were bosom buddies.
“For the two of them to become so close, wouldn’t it be a call to look away?”
“Who would look at it?”
Someone subconsciously asked, yet after this was asked, he suddenly widened his eyes.
“Could it be ……”
But after he said two words, the words that followed could not be said.
And although the people present didn’t dare to say that they all understood what he meant, a large portion of them suddenly dawned on him.
Tonight, Jiang Ran was going to visit the Mountain and Sea Association.
Yesterday, Jiang Ran had met with Changsun Wuji for a drink.
Then if nothing had happened to the Hundred Treasures Club last night, the one who went to the Mountain and Sea Club tonight might have been one more Changsun Wuji.
But this is something that no one dares to say.
Because this is the capital city ……
And it is where the Mountain and Sea Association’s main rudder is located.
The entire capital city, do not know how many eyes of the Mountain and Sea Association.
This side casually said, that end may be a big disaster.
However, this person’s one sentence exit, but called a lot of people present to consider whether or not it was the Mountain and Sea Association in order to avoid facing Jiang Ran and Changsun Wuji at the same time, so they started in advance!
To sweep away this Changsun Wuji, who might be an obstacle, with their own hands?
But if this is really the case,……, this Mountain and Sea Association is not too much stronger than the Hundred Treasures Association?
The same as a clan two will, the gap should not be so big right.
The entire teahouse, a moment of silence.
Understood, in the mind thinking of various possibilities. Those who don’t understand, are not willing to show that I didn’t understand, and even less likely to ask.
Rather, they pretended to understand, bowing their heads in contemplation, nodding their heads from time to time, shaking their heads from time to time.
So as not to let people see that they are a fool.
Initially raised the possibility of the person, but at this time has disappeared in the teahouse, to the street into the crowd, they do not know where to go.
But this kind of statement, but in just half a day time, will stir up a lot of dust.
So much so that Yan Wushuang, who had returned to the Hundred Preciousness Society from the Princess’s Mansion, was embraced by a group of Hundred Preciousness Society executives, and even more so, wanted to be presided over by her, and traveled to the Mountain and Sea Society to be accountable.
This made Yan Wushuang somewhat confused.
How did she somehow get involved with the Mountain and Sea Association?
This kind of thing naturally could not be taken lightly, and Yan Wushuang did not immediately agree.
After all, the matters at hand, there were thousands of things to do, and they had to be done one by one.
For her, the top priority was to deal with the mess left behind by Changsun Wuji.
But for the Mountain and Sea Association, this was a completely unmitigated disaster.
Inside the Mountain and Sea Association’s general rudder [Mountain and Sea Hall], a majestic palm force fell, directly shattering a fine pine table!
“Truly outrageous!!!”
The roar of fury was transmitted to all eight directions, causing all the doors and windows of the entire Mountain and Sea Hall to shake endlessly.
All the experts from the seven halls and eight divisions of the entire Mountain and Sea Association were gathered here.
However, in the face of Shen Tu Lie’s thunderous anger, no one dared to look up.
One by one, they lowered their eyebrows and hung their eyes, as if they were old monks in meditation.
“Changsun Wuji has committed a sin, earned black money, and attracted an attack from the opposite side, this is his matter of Changsun Wuji, what does it have to do with me and the Mountain and Sea Association?
“Just for a Shocking God Sword Jiang Ran?
“A backwoods kid who thinks that if he shines at the Sunset Review, he’s considered a number one in the Jianghu?
“How dare he have someone shoot a worship invitation on top of the plaque at the gate of my Mountain and Sea Association.
“It’s really the height of insubordination,” he said!
“But for just one Jiang Ran, what do I, Shen Tu Lie, have to fear?
“Even if I add another Hundred Treasures Club, how can I be afraid?
“What’s the point of killing in secret?
“To remove obstacles?
“My Mountain and Sea Association walks straight and sits upright, even if there really are obstacles, they will be cleared to my face, why bother to strike behind my back?”
Shen Tu Lie is in his sixties today, yet his hair is not white and his face is not old.
Voice like a bell, opening his mouth to speak is like a thunder gust.
His fiery temper was even more extraordinary.
Hear his words to this point, in the end the crowd in the field is not good to continue to be silent.
Just see a person stood up, clasped his fist and said:
“The head of the council rests his anger, this matter was deliberately done by someone.
“When this news initially spread, my subordinate had already sent people to investigate.
“I know that someone deliberately directed the spearhead to our Mountain and Sea Association.”
“Has it ever been investigated clearly, what kind of person is the other party?”
Shen Tu Lie’s tiger eyes rolled.
The man shook his head:
“The other party’s origins are unpredictable and their martial arts skills are extraordinary, making it difficult to trace the roots.”
“Could it be Jiang Ran’s people?”
Immediately, another person spoke up:
“Between us and Jiang Ran, we don’t have anything to do with each other.
“His sudden and inexplicable door-to-door provocation is already odd.
“And this rumor has even dragged us into an extremely unfavorable situation.
“At this moment, if Jiang Ran really came to us is the Mountain and Sea Association to go on a killing spree, for the onlookers, it may not necessarily be that things happened for no reason.”
“Go on a killing spree!?”
Shen Tu Lie laughed angrily:
“Are you guys made of clay or am I, Shen Tu Lie, made of paper?
“A fledgling yellow-mouthed child, also dares to put forth the word that he will come to my Mountain and Sea Association to start a killing spree?”
“This …… subordinate made a slip of the tongue.”
The person who opened his mouth earlier hastily bowed and admitted his mistake.
Shen Tu Lie then exhaled a breath and waved his hand:
“That’s just it …… You guys were scared out of your wits by the three words of this Shocking God Sword.
“But this person will be coming to my Mountain and Sea Association tonight, so I naturally have to welcome him properly.
“You guys also each go to make preparations.
“However, the person who is behind the move and planting evidence, you guys still have to work harder to find him.
“If it’s really Jiang Ran who is behind it …… humph!”
“Yes.”
The crowd agreed, their hearts were relieved.
And right at this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the door.
When the crowd waited for them to look at the door, there was no one in sight.
Turning back again, there was already a middle-aged man in the field at an unknown time.
This person looks forty up and down, white face, wearing a rough clothing, the most striking thing about his body is a sword in his hand.
The scabbard of the sword was pitch black, as if it could blend into the darkness of the night.
On top of the hilt there was a black gemstone, flashing with a strange luster.
This was the ‘Little Night Sword’, the sword of the One Sword Lifeless Sword Lifeless.
“Why are you here?”
Shen Tu Lie’s anger seemed to have not yet faded, looking at anyone with a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes.
Even Sword Wusheng hadn’t made him look how green-eyed he was.
“Dog temper.”
Jian Wusheng, however, seemed to have gotten used to Shen Tu Lie’s appearance.
Not caring at all about it, he just let out a light laugh:
“Anyway, I’m still in this Mountain and Sea Association of yours, and I’ve heard about this Jiang Ran’s reputation long ago.
“I always had to come over tonight to see a scene.”
“Do you want to see my hilarity, or do you want to see his hilarity?”
Shen Tu Lie’s face darkened even more.
There had long been rumors in the capital that as soon as Jian Wusheng arrived in the capital not long ago, he was invited by himself to the Mountain and Sea Club to be well entertained by the clouds ……
But the others do not know, Shen Tu Lie knows …… that this is simply a rumor.
Where is he Shen Tu Lie invited Jian Wusheng to come?
It is clear that the sword Wusheng dead face over to dabble in food and drink.
This person’s name in the jianghu is not small, but people do not want to face skin.
Thick skin to eat the world, bias martial arts strong, Shen Tu Lie also take him no way, which can only listen to it.
As for the outside world rumors …… such rumors are always better than the truth, right?
The result is now this mold.
To be honest, the two of them have some relationship, but it is not that intimate.
And at this time, Jian Wusheng grinned:
“Both want to.”
He said, flipping open a teacup and pouring himself a cup of tea:
“The Shattered Gold Blade that I found at that time, I originally wanted to hand it over to Ye Konggu, so that he could choose a suitable candidate to inherit this precious blade.
“But I didn’t expect that Ye Konggu, a great warrior of his generation, died a suffocating death.
“Left a pair of daughters is also unfilial ……
“A good end of a broken gold knife, surprisingly by this Ye shock cream used to give the lover.
“Today this Jiang Ran also into, let me see your joke, then this matter will be just.
“If let me see his joke, other not to say, this broken gold knife I have to take back no matter what, can’t let this treasure knife dust.”
“You want to face do not want?”
Shen Tu Lie’s expression was a little twisted:
“It was you who asked Cheng Tianyang to send the knife in the first place.
“How much trouble this knife caused at that time is not to mention, Ye Konggu died, this knife was obtained by his eldest daughter, Ye Qingshuang, and it was only natural.
“Since the knife is people’s, people like to give to the lover on the lover, like to give to the beggar, give to the beggar.
“None of your business!!!”
“Eh?”
Jian Wusheng looked up at Shen Tu Lie:
“Is it appropriate to say this from your standpoint?”
“I, Shen Tu Lie, am the most reasonable person under this sky, my stance is where reason lies.”
Shen Tu Lie sneered:
“You are not reasonable in this matter, just relying on your high martial arts skills, you are acting arbitrarily.”
“…… line line line, you line.”
Jian Wusheng casually spilled the tea in his cup:
“When will this person come?”
“Zi Hour.”
“Do you have any preparations?”
“What? I still have to prepare a table of good wine and food for him?”
“Demeanor …… How can you be considered a senior in the jianghu, demeanor always has to be there.”
“……”
Jian Wusheng Other than that, this sentence is actually reasonable.
Shen Tu Lie sighed:
“That’s just it, a dog’s mouth is spitting out ivory, I’ll listen to you for once.
“Come on people, set up a banquet!
“It’s in the backyard ……”
“Well well well, remember to prepare a few more jars of good wine, I heard that you have previously obtained a lot of Thousand Insects Villa’s [Gao Ge Brew] over at the Hundred Treasures Association.
“You don’t be stingy ……
“It’s just right to let that Jiang Ran’s little child, to see your vigor as the head of the Mountain and Sea Association!”
“It’s clearly you who wants to drink it.”
Shen Tu Lie blackened his face, hating that he couldn’t break his mouth to curse, but in the end, he still held back.
This person’s martial arts skills were high, and if his words were overly aggressive, he might really get into a fight.
Now that the enemy was at hand, there was really no need.
Of course, this breath sooner or later still have to come out …… Shen Tu Lie has begun to consider, want to put some poison in Jian Wusheng’s wine, let him know know what is called the hearts of the wicked.
When the two people spoke, the people in the hall have long been dispersed.
Those who should make preparations did so, and those who should go track down went to do so.
Jian Wusheng determined where the dinner was and was not willing to face Shen Tu Lie’s foul face here.
So he also left on his own.
Within the entire Mountain and Sea Hall, Shen Tu Lie was left alone.
Shen Tu Lie looked around before sighing.
He was about to get up when he suddenly looked puzzled:
“What person?”
Footsteps came from one side.
He looked up and suddenly his expression changed drastically:
“Master!?”
As he said this, he was already taking three steps and came to the front of the person who came, and flung himself on his knees:
“Master, you …… didn’t you say that you have long severed your earthly ties and are not willing to take a step away from there?
“How did you …… you come here?
“Could it be, could it be that you will not go back again?”
He looked at the bag on the visitor, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Just then, he heard a slightly sharp voice let out a soft laugh:
“Quickly get up, many years have not seen, you also from a small child, grew to the present ……
“But you …… are still alone so far?”
“Yes.”
“Should not ah ……”
The visitor sighed:
“Perhaps, Master should not have taught this martial art to you ……”
“Master there words? If it wasn’t for this divine skill, how would I have been able to create the huge foundation of the Mountain and Sea Association?”
As he said that, he reached out to assist the visitor and went to sit down at the seat of the head of that Mountain and Sea Association:
“Master, are you not planning to go back this time out?”
“That’s right.”
The visitor gently nodded.
Shen Tu Lie was instantly overjoyed:
“This really couldn’t be better, you will stay in the Mountain and Sea Association, and my disciple will just be able to fulfill your filial duty to you.”
“I have no intention of staying here for a long time.”
The man glanced at him and said with a smile:
“You don t have to be disappointed …… for the master to go out this time, is to want to see this world Jianghu.
“I have been avoiding living for many years, thinking that my martial arts are almost invincible in the world.
“But I didn’t expect …… to be struck dumb by an expert not long ago.”
“What?”
Shen Tu Lie openly changed color: “What kind of person?”
“Don’t mention it.”
The man shook his head, then glanced at him:
“I heard you sigh just now, but have you encountered a difficult situation?”
“…… Master is not aware of it, there will be a rival coming here tonight, this person is very famous and his martial arts skills are extremely high.
“Although disciple in front of people to show his person is not enough, but also apprehensive.”
“I see so ……”
The man thought for a moment and said:
“Can still remember, back in the year after teaching you martial arts, for the teacher once said, learned this body of skills, is a blessing or a curse all depends on your cultivation and destiny.
“For the teacher other things, do not ask …… anything.”
“Disciple remember.”
“Now that I think about it, I have not been invincible in the world of martial arts, for you, also never sincerely concerned.
“Just, this time far away from the end of the world, before this, always have to let you have no worries.
“Who is the person who came today? Master will help you get rid of them.”
“Many thanks to the benefactor!”
Shen Tu Lie was overjoyed:
“This person’s name is Jiang Ran, and he is known in the jianghu as the Shocking God Sword!”
