Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty Seven – Tit for Tat

“This one is Tian Huan’s Gongye Xiao Rong,” Gongye Xiao Rong smiled and bowed in the direction of Gongsun Cha.

The generals under his command were all shocked. They had not expected Daren to be the first to show weakness to the other. The enemy had killed their combat xiu in front of them without even asking for a reason yet Daren proactively showed weakness first?

Many people had rebellious expressions.

They were Tian Huan! When had Tian Huan been humiliated so? Yes! This was a humiliation! Almost everyone had prepared to fight, wanting to charge and kill all of them.

None of them had expected Daren to show weakness!

If Gongye Xiao Rong’s authority was not as secure as it was, the rebellious battle generals would have started to talk already.

“This one is Gongsun Cha.” Lil’ Miss still had a sunny smile. In the eyes of the Tian Huan battle generals, this was an extreme eyesore.

Gongsun Cha?

Never heard of this person!

Gongye Xiao Rong thought carefully and was certain that he really had not heard the name before. He noticed the other only gave his name but not his origins. There was something to ponder here.

Also, a battalion like this should not be unknown!

Gongye Xiao Rong’s eyes flashed and were meaningful. It was not so easy to form a strong battalion. Gongye Xiao Rong had went through the process of building one and knew very well how difficult it was.

Was there a faction that had targeted a position among the great four from the shadows?

This was the first thought that flashed through his mind. But when he thought, he couldn’t help but laugh soundlessly. This thought was nonsense.

“As expected, heroes come from the youth! Brother Gongsun is so young and in charge of a battalion, Xiao Rong was just whiling away the days in the past.” Gongye Xiao Rong had a smile. But then his tone changed. “But why is Brother Gongsun in cahoots with the mo?”

Gongsun Cha’s smile was like a flower. His tone was warm but his words were very sharp. “In cahoots with the mo? Brother Gongye’s words are strange! This sect has taken over Orchid Home Jie. The Stellar Rahula Clan admires our sect’s conduct and is willing to submit, turning from evil towards the right path. Isn’t such an action something our generation pursues?”

Then his tone changed. “But your battalion still sent your big army after our sect has taken Orchid Home Jie. Is Tian Huan so unreasonable? Are you bullying little sects like us?”

Lil’ Miss smiled as he spoke, sometimes full of gentleness and then his tone turned murderous. But while he was uttering complete falsehoods, he was extremely composed. At the side A Zha Ge felt cold inside. What take over Orchid Home Jie? In just a few words, Lil’ Miss established his position. Truth and falsehood, it was hard for the other to pick out which was which.

A Zha Ge decided he did not want to be enemies with Lil’ Miss in this life.

If he had an enemy like this, he probably wouldn’t even know how he died.

Gongye Xiao Rong did not know what to say.

Just a step late, and his judgment had made a great mistake. He was not the only one. Even his soldiers really thought that Lil’ Miss had really taken over Orchid Home Jie.

But those soldiers did not care. So what if the other got here first? They could take it!

They were yearning to go and wanted to charge. The other was not weak, but they were full of confidence and completely did not have a good opinion of the enemy.

Gongye Xiao Rong stared at the other. He did not believe what Gongsun Cha said but he could not pick out any holes in the story. As to the problem of the mo, the xiuzhe had always been divided into two sides on the issue. One group wanted to kill all the mo, and not leave any living. The other would allow the mo to submit to them and advocated for gentle treatment.

Both groups had their support in the xiuzhe world so regarding the problem of the mo, Gongye Xiao Rong could not pick any faults.

What he considered was far more than his soldiers.

This war would probably continue for a very long time. Tian Huan was one of the great four and they had to take care of their reputation and image. If they stole whenever they encountered someone weaker than them, how could they ally with other sects?

He did not care about Orchid Home Jie. Orchid Home Jie was easy to attack but hard to defend. In terms of value, it was worth far less than Black Stone Jie.

However … …

A cold light flashed through Gongye Xiao Rong’s eyes.

They had to give something in response to his subordinate being killed!

“However, the one that is killed is one of this one’s people. This is still an issue.” Gongye Xiao Rong slowly spoke.

“This one expresses deep apology for that, and is willing to pay reparations,” Gongsun Cha said with an innocent expression.

Gongye Xiao Rong’s soldiers became furious, their eyes sprouting blood.

“There is no need for reparations. Blades are blind. The xiuzhe that go onto the battlefield need to understand they can die on the battlefield. This one’s brothers have been proud for many years, and are very competitive upon seeing Brother Gongsun’s brothers today. Please, Brother Gongsun, help me teach my brothers.” Finishing, he did not wait for Lil’ Miss to speak. He turned around and said, “Di Li, pick fifty brothers and ask for guidance from this Gongsun Daren.”

“Yes!” A black faced man stood up and accepted the order.

The smile on Gongsun Cha’s face was still the same. “Since Brother Gongye has such interest, this little brother will naturally go along. E De, take your team, go.”

E De had an excited expression. He shot out of the ranks and said seriously, “I will not fail Daren’s expectations!”

“Relax, relax.” Lil’ Miss smiled.

But E De’s expression was determined. To be able to be picked by Daren at such an important time, Daren’s intentions of nurturing him was evident.

No matter what, he had to win!

He stared murderously at the enemy.

Di Li stared back hard at E De.

E De suddenly grinned like a wild beast staring at its prey and bared its sharp teeth!
