Chapter 339
byLooking at Xiang Chu’s back, Yang Kai was stunned for a while.
Originally, seeing that a group of people here didn’t seem to like him very much, Yang Kai thought this person was some kind of playboy.
The Xiang family is a first-class aristocratic family. It’s a very normal thing for a young master born in such a big family to be a bit playboy and overbearing.
But now seeing his decent performance, generous response, and the whole person being gentle and refined with a gentle personality and extremely free and easy, it couldn’t help but make Yang Kai a little amazed.
Yang Kai could clearly see this person’s love and pity for the Hu sisters, and he didn’t mean to hide it at all. But Hu Jiao’er treated him so coldly, and he didn’t have any annoyance or entanglement. He could be regarded as a man of true temperament.
I don’t know why the Hu sisters and everyone here don’t like him very much.
But everything has its cause and effect. Yang Kai also knows that people’s hearts are separated by their bellies and that one can only see the surface but not the inside. So intuitively, he feels that this Xiang Chu must have a side that is unknown to others.
After Xiang Chu’s back disappeared, Fang Ziqi then leaned close to Yang Kai and chuckled softly, saying, “Yang Kai, don’t be deceived by that guy. He looks kind on the surface, but in fact, he is honey-tongued and sword-hearted, good at scheming, and has a very deep mind. Otherwise, this place wouldn’t be under his command and scheduling.
“I know.” Yang Kai nodded faintly. He didn’t mean to look down on Xiang Chu either.
Like that Bai Yunfeng, who is overbearing and arrogant, and shows all his kindness and evil towards others on his face. He has no scheming at all and wouldn’t pose any threat at all to Yang Kai.
It is precisely a person like Xiang Chu who smiles on the surface that needs to be guarded against.
“is This place under his command and scheduling?” Hu Jiao’er, however, heard a different meaning and looked at Fang Ziqi in surprise. “What’s going on? He is just a member of the younger generation. How could he be charged here? Isn’t there an elder of the Xiang family sitting in town?
Fang Ziqi was stunned for a moment, gave a dry laugh, and then turned his gaze to Guan Chile.
“The two young ladies have been traveling and are tired. It’s better to rest first. I’ll tell you in the evening.” Guan Chile hesitated for a moment and then said.
“Alright.” Hu Jiao’er didn’t press the issue either. For one thing, she herself had noticed something unusual. For another, she and her younger sister really needed to wash up. After hiding and evading with Yang Kai for a month, she could no longer tolerate the dirt on her body.
Women are always relatively clean-loving.
“Yang Kai, come with me.” Fang Ziqi greeted him affectionately.
Yang Kai smiled faintly and followed him.
At night. A bonfire was lit outside, and all the people from the Blood Battle Gang and the Wind and Rain Tower gathered here. The bonfire danced, and Yang Kai and Fang Ziqi were holding wild game and roasting it over the fire.
The crackling sound of explosions came. All was silent and still.
After a long time, Hu Jiao’er finally asked, “Uncle Le, what on earth is going on here？ There are suddenly a lot fewer experts. Where have the high-ranking members of my Blood Battle Gang and the Wind and Rain Tower gone？”
Before they left two or three months ago, there were still quite a few Divine Movement Jing experts here, but now that they’ve returned, they find that there are less than ten left here. Apart from the two people guarding Xiang Chu who have relatively high cultivation levels, the cultivation levels of the other Divine Movement Jing experts are not too high.
Although the position of this place on the entire front line is not too important, it’s still too much of a joke to have only so few experts here. In case the people on the other side of the mountain attack, I’m afraid all the people here will be wiped out.
Guan Chiyue sighed and said faintly, “This is what happened. A month ago, we received an order from the eight great families in Zhongdu. All the experts participating in the siege of the Cangyun Evil Land are gathering in the middle. It seems that the eight great families and the Evil Lord want to have a final decisive battle.”
“Decisive battle？” Hu Jiao’er exclaimed.
Guan Chiyue nodded slightly. “After all, this is not a battle of the army. We are all just ruffians, seeking vengeance with pleasure. A fight has lasted for so long, and everyone wants to end it earlier. Probably both sides have reached some kind of consensus, so most of the experts here have been transferred away. Your father has also gone.”
“Father has also gone…” Hu Meier murmured.
Although Hu Man has the strength of the Eighth Layer of the Divine Travel Realm and is a powerful local tyrant, he is nothing in the whole world. Being pulled over to participate in the decisive battle, he may be reduced to ashes if he is not careful.
How could the Hu family sisters not be worried？
“Our Wind and Rain Tower is the same. The master and the elders have all left, and the experts on the opposite side of the mountain have also left almost.” Fang Ziqi smiled bitterly. His master is Xiao Ruohan, the leader of the Wind and Rain Tower.
If it weren’t used for the boss’s insistence I wouldn’t be able to stay.” Guan Chiyue looked sad and raised his eyes. “The boss said that the two young ladies will definitely come back to look for him one day, so he asked me to stay. One is to take care of these young people, and the other is to wait for the two young ladies. Now it seems that the leader’s decision is extremely wise.
Speaking of this, Fang Ziqi was extremely resentful and said hatefully, “If it weren’t for Senior Guan’s many protections, the dozen or so people from your Bloody Battle Gang and our Wind and Rain Tower would probably have already died.”
“What’s going on？” Hu Jiao’er’s face sank.
“It’s still like that.” Fang Ziqi sneered. “Because our two sects are adjacent to Lingxiao Pavilion, everyone here doesn’t like us very much. It was okay when you two were here. Xiang Chu still had to perform more in front of you to add points for himself. But as soon as you two disappeared, Xiang Chu simply ignored us. Whenever there was anything dangerous, it must be the disciples of our two sects who went up.”
With a cold expression, Fang Ziqi said, “When we came, there were more than a hundred people. Now？ Only a dozen are left.”
Witnessing the tragic deaths of many junior brothers and sisters with his own eyes, the pain in Fang Ziqi’s heart was conceivable.
After a pause, Fang Ziqi suddenly thought of something and looked at Yang Kai awkwardly and said, “Don’t mind, I don’t mean anything else.”
“I know.” Yang Kai nodded faintly. Although Fang Ziqi said this for fear that he would misunderstand, Yang Kai also knew that because of the relationship with Lingxiao Pavilion, the Bloody Battle Gang and the Wind and Rain Tower were now in a very difficult situation.
In this regard, it was indeed Lingxiao Pavilion that implicated their two sects.
But, it’s also those outside forces who are making trouble for no reason！ Just because of the sect where the Evil Lord came from, the Lingxiao Pavilion was burned to the ground by a big fire, and the Blood Battle Gang and the Wind and Rain Tower also couldn’t escape bad luck. This is a bit too unreasonable.
After listening to Guan Chile’s account, Hu Jiao’er said thoughtfully, “Since this is the case, then the front line here is even less important, right？”
Guan Chile nodded slightly： “That’s true. It will take at most three to five days, and at the latest half a month, the decisive battle will start. The battlefield over there is the battle that determines the outcome. So whether it’s us or the forces on the other side of the mountain, we don’t care much about each other anymore. We just need to wait for the result now, and probably won’t fight with the other side of the mountain anymore.”
“Oh.” Hu Jiao’er nodded slightly.
“That’s why the Xiang family is relieved to hand over the power here to Xiang Chu.” Fang Ziqi chuckled, “Probably also want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to temper him.”
Such opportunities are rare. There are at least five or six forces’ troops gathered here. When the troops of all parties gather together, there will always be disputes because of some things. If Xiang Chu can handle the things here well, then he will surely be able to handle the affairs of the Xiang family well and can also become the head of the Xiang family in the future！”
The Xiang family is cultivating him as the future successor.
After learning about these things, the Hu sisters immediately felt relieved, but they were still a little worried about Hu Man’s safety.
The wild game was roasted well, exuding waves of meat fragrance. Yang Kai chewed on it without any scruples, and the Hu sisters also couldn’t resist the temptation and ate daintily.
These one or two months following Yang Kai had been really hard.
While eating and chatting, the atmosphere became harmonious and joyous. Especially when the remaining people thought that they might return to the sect soon, their mood was even more pleasant. Fang Ziqi also didn’t know where he got some wine from and had a great drink with Yang Kai.
How could Yang Kai be afraid of him? He immediately competed with him on the spot.
Just when it was all harmonious and happy, a group of people casually approached this side in the darkness.
The leaders were a man and a woman. They didn’t look very old. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful.
Especially that woman, her figure was enchanting. Her tight-fitting clothes outlined her exquisite waist. Her upper garment had no sleeves, and her two snow-white and jade-like arms were exposed. Even in the darkness, one could see the tender whiteness that could rival frost and snow.
Both of them were walking towards this side with a strange smile on their faces, and there were many people following behind them.
When they got close to about ten zhang or so, the man suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Accompanying his movement, a large handful of sand and soil flew out with a swish and hit the people of the Blood Battle Gang and the Wind and Rain Tower head-on.
“Ouch……” The man even let out an extremely exaggerated cry, as if hastily stabilizing his steps.
The people of the Blood Battle Gang and the Wind and Rain Tower were laughing and eating and drinking. How could they Do you expect such a change? When they sensed something was wrong, Guan Chile casually waved a palm wind, but still couldn’t stop all the sand.
In these sands, there was actually some true essence hidden.
Puff puff puff…
Everyone was hit squarely. Many people’s faces and bodies hurt and even those few jars of wine and the roast meat on the bonfire became filthy.
With a whoosh, most of the people from the Blood Battle Gang and the Wind and Rain Tower stood up and looked at the approaching people with unfriendly expressions.
I saw that man pretending to twist his waist, with a look of being overly frightened, and said： “Almost fell！”
That woman even giggled： “Senior Brother Xie Rong, why are you so careless？”
Xie Rong said： “Junior Sister Li Fu doesn’t know. Senior Brother was looking at the monkey show and accidentally got distracted.”
Li Fu covered her mouth and smiled lightly, looking around, with a look of innocence and cuteness, and said in a soft voice： “Senior Brother is just joking. It’s so late at night. Where did the monkey come from? Why didn’t Junior Sister see it?”
Xie Rong hehe smiled and said: “Junior Sister, your eyesight is not good. This monkey can not only perform tricks but also eat meat and drink wine. Isn’t it strange?”
Li Fu was suddenly extremely surprised： “Really? There is such a smart monkey under the heaven. Little sister must have a look. Where is it? Where is it?”
While speaking, she looked over here at the bonfire with her beautiful eyes full of smiles, and there was a hint of contemptuous and disdain to smile on her pretty face.
The people of the Blood Battle Gang and the Wind and Rain Tower could hardly fail to understand such insinuations, and their complexions suddenly turned gloomy.
