Chapter 13 Little Shao, Big Idiot, Old Schemer, and Cheater
"Alright, we've said everything we needed to say. Whether you're willing to seize the opportunity is up to you. We won't participate."
Having told all the lies they needed to tell, the four men in black robes prepared to leave.
They secretly dug a huge pit for the Yunlan Sect, then left without a trace, concealing their merits and fame.
Naturally, Jia Liebi and the others dared not stop them. They respectfully saw the man in black robes off through the secret door, and then they colluded and excitedly began to plot.
Yun Congxin didn't even glance at the excited and blushing Galebi and Obappaton. A gentle breeze blew by, and he disappeared silently from the ancient tree.
"Old Jia, we've gone through all this trouble just for this?" the tallest man in black robes asked, puzzled.
The old man in black robes chuckled and said in a low voice, "Don't underestimate this trick of ours; it was specially instructed by our clan uncle."
"That little guy is no ordinary person. He has entered the Great Dou Master realm at a young age and is also a fourth-grade alchemist. Even Elder Hai's return is related to him. The power behind him should not be underestimated."
"As soon as Elder Jia returned from the Yunlan Sect, he immediately instructed us to come here. He was certain that the Yunlan Sect had been lax in its management over the years, and its disciples had become arrogant. Now that a young fellow has suddenly appeared and defeated their young sect leader in public, there are plenty of people in the Yunlan Sect who will not be able to swallow this insult and will come looking for trouble with the Xiao family."
"But I heard that the old sect master of the Yunlan Sect has emerged from seclusion and even gave Xiao Yan a guest elder title, and punished the sect's Grand Elder. There's no deep-seated hatred between Xiao Yan and the Yunlan Sect. If the Yunlan Sect is suppressed and remains silent, wouldn't our trip have been in vain?"
The old man in black robes said confidently, "Of course not. The Yunlan Sect has been lax for so many years; it's not something that can be tightened up just by Yunshan saying a few words after he comes out of seclusion. Even if the inner disciples of Yunlan Mountain are subdued, wouldn't there be opportunistic outer sect forces causing trouble?"
"Ultimately, it's because the Xiao family is simply too weak. They can't even withstand the slightest hint of malice from the Yunlan Sect. The young man from the Xiao family is still too impetuous and hasn't thought things through enough. He's rashly slapped the Yunlan Sect in the face; he can bear it, but can the Xiao family bear it?"
"But the outer sect deacons of the Yunlan Sect are not fools either. Xiao Yan's performance on Yunlan Mountain is obvious to all. It would be a loss to offend such a genius in order to gain a higher position."
"That's why we need to make this trip. With the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family, these two local bullies, watching us like tigers, even if they just smash up the Xiao family's market as a show, it will still incite these two local bullies to rush up and bite him hard."
"When Xiao Yan returns, will he be able to distinguish which actions were done by the Yunlan Sect and which were theirs? He'll just have to pin the blame on the Yunlan Sect!"
"This way, the feud between Yunlan Sect and Xiao Yan is officially established, and the waters have been stirred up. Whether the young man from the Xiao family gets his teacher to mobilize a large force to cause trouble for Yunlan Sect, or he bides his time and waits for the reckoning, we can wait and see."
"If we're lucky, we might be able to bring this little guy into our camp."
The old man in black robes imagined this bright future, his mouth stretching to his ears: "Hehe, such a young fourth-grade alchemist, he might even surpass the achievements of Pill King Gu He in the future!"
As they spoke, the four arrived at their residence. After confirming several times that they were not being followed, they quietly entered the house, closed the door, and took off their large black robes.
"Finally, they've revealed their true colors..." Yun Congxin, who was following behind them, descended from the void. The space around him distorted slightly, obscuring his figure.
The four men in black robes were a dwarf who was shorter than the thighs of others, a beautiful woman in palace attire, a sinister-looking old man, and a towering giant.
What a classic combination!
"Alright, it's getting late, everyone should go back to your rooms and rest," the black-robed old man said with a kind smile. "You'll all have to work hard for the next few days and keep a close eye on what's happening in Wutan City."
Yun Congxin stroked his chin, watching the black-robed figures return to their rooms, and felt unusually good.
Jia Xingtian, you old bastard, you didn't expect this, did you? I've come to Wutan City myself! Hey, you were just about to spill your wicked ideas when I caught you red-handed. Aren't you just eagerly giving me an excuse to extort money from you?
This is going to cause a huge financial blow to the Gama royal family!
As Yun Congxin pondered this, he hurried towards the Xiao family. Ever since his transmigration, Yun Congxin had been thinking about how to cultivate a good relationship with Xiao Yan and replace Hai Bodong as the number one angel investor in the Dou Qi Continent. Now the opportunity had arrived, and it was even delivered to his door by that old fellow Jia Xingtian himself. Yun Congxin had to seize it!
Without further ado, Yun Congxin decided to turn the tables and maximize the value of these four troublemakers!
"Forehead..."
Yun Congxin descended from the sky, stepping through the void. He landed on an open space belonging to the Xiao family and looked at the endless cluster of buildings that resembled a residential area. He was immediately overwhelmed.
At this moment, he suddenly realized a problem: although he knew Xiao Zhan's name, he couldn't recognize who Xiao Zhan was at all!
To be fair, although the Xiao family was in dire straits, they still had a few Great Dou Masters. Yun Congxin couldn't recall any description of Xiao Zhan's appearance in the book. He couldn't very well test each person one by one, thinking that whoever could use the Mad Lion's Fury was Xiao Zhan, could he?
Or should we just grab some unlucky guy and ask him?
That won't work either. Not to mention it's the middle of the night, if a guy of unknown strength suddenly appears, it would be quite mature and composed for the Xiao family not to react immediately.
Moreover, things are best done in secrecy and ruined by leaks; the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better—he can't just kill the person after asking all the questions, can he...?
...How about we come back tomorrow?
Just as Yun Congxin was at his wit's end, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared under the lamplight. She was a tall girl with a cool and aloof temperament, about 1.8 meters tall.
She has a beautiful face and graceful figure. Although her temperament is cool, it is not sharp. She is a true beauty on a high mountain.
However, Yun Congxin's gaze was not drawn to any of the above. From the very beginning, his attention was completely drawn to those exaggeratedly long, jade-like legs.
"...Xiao Yu?"
