Chapter 72
byEarly the next morning, in front of the Contribution Hall, Yang Kai gently knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened, and Xia Ning shang flashed out from inside with a small package slung over her shoulder. There were quite a few things in the package.
“Junior Brother, you’re here.” Xia Ning shang greeted softly.
“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded. “Where’s Shopkeeper Meng?”
“His old illness suddenly relapsed yesterday, and he has to stay and heal his injuries. He can’t go. “As Xia Ning spoke, her eyes flickered non-stop and those two rows of dense eyelashes also trembled like a fan.
Yang Kai looked at her suspiciously, and a hint of flustered flashed in Xia Ning shang’s eyes.
“Should we wait for him?” Although Yang Kai had a guess in his heart, he didn’t expose it.
“No need. I know where that place is. And there’s not much time left. Master said not to wait for him.” Seeing that Yang Kai didn’t pursue the matter, Xia Ning couldn’t help but relax.
“Alright then.” Yang Kai hesitated for a moment and still agreed.
“Sorry to trouble you this time, Junior Brother.” Xia Ning let out a long breath.
“Senior Sister is being polite.” Yang Kai smiled slightly.
The two of them then left Lingxiao Pavilion lightly armed.
In the side room of the Contribution Hall, Meng Wuya was currently lying prone on the table, sound asleep. On the table were several plates of delicate side dishes and a few flasks of fine wine. It could be seen that before falling asleep, Shopkeeper Meng should have been enjoying the delicious food and fine wine.
These delicacies were all made by Xia Ning shang. It was just that a little special seasoning had been added to them. The special seasoning refined based on Xia Ning’s Medicine Spirit Saint Physique, even a master like Meng Wuya couldn’t resist.
With this sleep, it was estimated that he would sleep for at least a few days!
Meng Wuya had been shrewd all his life, but he never expected that one day he would stumble and fall into the hands of his precious apprentice. It could really be said that one false step leads to eternal regret, and a big ship capsizes in a gutter.
It was estimated that by the time Meng Wuya woke up, everything would already be a foregone conclusion.
Yang Kai and Xia Ning came to Wu Mei Town, bought two horses and also purchased some daily necessities before galloping towards the distance.
When buying things, Yang Kai also inquired a little about the location of the place they were going. According to Xia Ning, it was about ten days’ journey away from Wu Mei Town and was located inside Black Wind Mountain. Although the journey was long, generally speaking, the time was still quite abundant.
Just after the two left Ling Xiao Pavilion, this news was transmitted to Xie Hongchen’s ears.
Ever since seeing the intimacy between Su Yan and Yang Kai in the Forest Prison that day, Xie Hongchen had drowned his sorrows in wine for several days, feeling depressed and frustrated. Yesterday, he finally pulled himself together. After his mind became clear, he thought about it carefully and felt that the matter that day should not be what he had seen.
What kind of character Su Yan was, Xie Hongchen knew very well. With her pride and strength, how could she take a fancy to a Yang Kai who was only at the third level of the Kaiyuan Realm? Moreover, the two of them didn’t seem to have any contact before, basically being strangers.
Xie Hongchen then understood that the intimacy between Su Yan and Yang Kai that day was just an act. At that time, he was jealous and his blood was boiling, and Xie Hongchen simply didn’t have time to think deeply about the truth or falsehood of it.
But after figuring it out, Xie Hongchen’s spirit was greatly boosted. Yesterday, he went to look for Su Yan again to express his feelings, being graceful and charming, not at all like the madness and lose control of that day.
Although he was finally blasted out by Su Yan in the end, Xie Hongchen’s heart knot was suddenly resolved.
As long as Su Yan had not been obtained by other men, then she would one day belong to himself! Xie Hongchen was very confident. After all, he was the most outstanding male disciple of the Lingxiao Pavilion, and Su Yan was the most outstanding female disciple. The combination of the two was naturally what the elders would like to see.
This early morning, Xie Hongchen carefully prepared again and was going to visit Su Yan at the Black Wind Trade Market later.
But just as he was about to go out, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall suddenly rushed in in a hurry, with a look of surprise on his face and said, “Senior Brother Xie, Yang Kai has just left the Lingxiao Pavilion.”
Xie Hongchen’s eyes lit up when he heard this: “Did he leave alone?”
“No, he left with a disciple from the Dark Hall, named Xia Ning shang.” The man replied.
“Xia Ning Shang!” Xie Hongchen narrowed his eyes. “I know her. Her strength is comparable to mine, but she is not a core disciple. This woman has always been very strange!
“Where did they go?” Xie Hongchen thought for a moment, and suddenly a hint of madness surged in his eyes. It’s really God’s mercy. That waste actually left the Lingxiao Pavilion at this time. If he could be killed outside, wouldn’t it just relieve his hatred in his heart!”
“I don’t know their destination, but it seems they are going on a long journey because they bought two horses in Wumei Town!”
“Going on a long journey?” Xie Hongchen raised his eyebrows. “Good, good, very good.”
After saying several good words in a row, Xie Hongchen suddenly turned his head and said with a ferocious face: “Go and find a few trustworthy senior and junior brothers. Their strength must be at least at the Lihe Realm and accompany me out.”
“Senior Brother, what do you want to do?”
Heh heh, isn’t it obvious what I want to do? Why ask.” Xie Hongchen’s face contorted. He wanted to chase after and kill Yang Kai, this love rival, and by the way, Xia Ning shang couldn’t be let go either. After all, if the news leaked out, it wouldn’t be a joke.
“Senior Brother, this isn’t appropriate.” That disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall had a somewhat panicked expression. Yang Kai didn’t concern him. A mere Open Heaven Realm trial disciple, even if he died outside, probably no one would care. But that Xia Ning dress from the Dark Hall was different. No one knew her, but since she had the strength of the peak of the clutch, she definitely wasn’t a small character. If she died and the Pavilion investigated further, I’m afraid none of the senior brothers who participated in the action could escape.
“Just do as I tell you, what are you blabbering about?” Xie Hongchen was full of impatience. “Do I have to go find people myself?”
The crazy jealousy had made Xie Hongchen unable to maintain his original heart. Only the thought of killing Yang Kai was circling in his mind.
“Senior Brother, after the last incident, the Great Elder strictly ordered that no one could have any thoughts about Yang Kai during this period of time. Have you forgotten?”
Being reminded like this, Xie Hongchen suddenly woke up. That’s right, last time the Great Elder suddenly issued an order, ordering everyone not to cause trouble for Yang Kai for a short time. However, this order made people feel rather baffled, and Xie Hongchen didn’t take it to heart either.
But, are we just going to let this great opportunity go to waste? If we don’t kill Yang Kai this time, when will we have another chance? What if he always hides in the sect and doesn’t go out in the future?
Just when he was feeling unwilling, this Law Enforcement Hall disciple seemed to think of something and said with a sneaky smile, “Senior Brother Xie, although we can take action, others can. There are plenty of people who care about Yang Kai’s life.
“What do you mean?” Xie Hongchen asked with narrowed eyes.
The man said, “It is said that Long Zaitian, the deputy leader of the Blood Battle Gang, and his little grandson Long Hui have been inquiring about Yang Kai’s news for the past month.”
Long Zaitian, Xie Hongchen naturally knew. He was a prominent figure in the Blood Battle Gang, and his own strength was also a powerful Divine Movement Realm. His little grandson didn’t have anything outstanding. This year, he seemed to be only at the Qi Moving Realm.
“Huh?” Xie Hongchen was confused. “What is Long Hui inquiring about him for?”
The man’s expression couldn’t help but become ambiguous. “It seems to have something to do with that Hu Mei’er. Long Hui has been pursuing Hu Mei’er and regards her as his own. However, the relationship between Yang Kai and Hu Mei’er is unclear. Long Hui has boasted that one day he will kill Yang Kai and let him know the consequences of daring to have ideas about his woman!
“Hu Mei’er!” A voluptuous girl with a charming demeanor appeared in Xie Hongchen’s mind, and for a moment his breathing became a little heavy.
This witch is good at teasing people’s hearts. Almost all the young disciples of the three sects have heard of her. Jie Hongchen also had the fortune to see her once.
“That good-for-nothing is really not a good thing. He actually has a relationship with this witch!” Jie Hongchen was extremely jealous, but on his mouth, he scolded righteously.
After thinking for a while, he said suspiciously, “No, where did you get such detailed information?”
Even if Long Hui wanted to take Yang Kai’s life, he couldn’t be so blatant and publicize it everywhere. Wasn’t this alarming the enemy? If Yang Kai heard about it, how could he have the courage to leave Lingxiao Pavilion? As long as Long Hui wasn’t out of his mind, he wouldn’t publicize it like this.
The man’s face flushed with embarrassment, stammering and unable to answer.
“Speak!” Xie Hongchen’s face darkened.
“Yes!” Helplessly, this person could only reveal everything: “A few days ago, I was in the Chunfeng Xiyu Building in Wumei Town… When I was drinking, Long Hui happened to live next door. I heard what he said to the woman in the room.”
“Chunfeng Xiyu Building!” Xie Hongchen gave this junior a disgruntled look. That was a brothel in Wumei Town. There was no need to ask what he was doing there. It was impossible that he was just drinking.”
That person continued, “Senior Brother Jie, if Long Hui gets to know this news, he will definitely not let Yang Kai off easily. We don’t need to do it ourselves at all. Moreover, Long Hui is a lecherous person. If we tell him that there is also a peerless beauty beside Yang Kai, what do you think he will do?”
Jie Hongchen’s eyes lit up and he smiled coldly: “A brilliant plan!”
This move of killing with a borrowed knife was really good. After pondering for a moment, Jie Hongchen made a decision and said, “Since Long Hui wants to look for him, then send a message over. However, this matter must be done secretly and must not reveal any flaws. Absolutely cannot let him know that the news was passed on by us. Also, be sure to tell Long Hui that the woman beside Yang Kai has the strength of the peak of the Lihe Realm, so don’t let him lose the chicken and also lose the rice.”
“Yes!” That person received the order and quickly walked out.
Yang Kai, let’s see if you can survive this time. It’s just… that Xia Ning dress is a pity. That woman always wears a veil. Although he has never seen her face Jie Hongchen can almost be sure that the other party is a peerless beauty!
If such a woman falls into Long Hui’s hands, one can almost imagine what her will be! For a moment, Jie Hongchen actually felt a little envious of Long Hui.
While the Law Enforcement Hall of the Lingxiao Pavilion was ready to move, someone in a certain place in Wu Mei Town was also ready to move.
Just shortly after Yang Kai and Xia Ning left on horseback a group of people suddenly emerged from the shadows. The leader had a cold expression on his face and, staring at Yang Kai’s back asked, “Did you see clearly? That person is Yang Kai?”
“Absolutely saw clearly, Senior Brother Nu Lang. He is undoubtedly Yang Kai. Last time we were beaten up by him, and then Senior Brother Cheng Shaofeng went to find Senior Brother Nu Tao and said he would look for an opportunity to teach him a lesson. But since that trip to the Black Wind Trade City, the two of them have never come back.”
Nu Lang’s face was gloomy. With a wave of his hand, he said, “Go and buy some horses. We’ll follow! I want to know whether my younger brother is dead or alive and exactly where he is!”
Nu Tao had disappeared for more than a month, missing along with Cheng Shaofeng. Nu Lang searched everywhere but couldn’t find them. After inquiring around, he finally found out about Yang Kai.
What the real situation is, we still have to catch up and carefully question that Yang Kai. If it has something to do with him, then as his older brother, I naturally have to avenge my younger brother.
