Chapter 234 (1/2)

Little Black (3)

“Cough, cough. Alright, that’s enough. Ye Lang, sir, why did you ask for their name? Do you want to take revenge?” said Edward, changing the topic. He was afraid he might go insane if they continued the conversation.

“No, why would I want to? They’re not even worth it! I don’t have the time to, anyway!” answered Ye Lang with a wave. They were puny characters in this story, no one worth spending his time on.

“Then why did you want their name?”

Ye Lang smiled, then calmly replied, “If we meet another group of robbers, I’ll tell them I gave my hundred thousand gold coins to the Dianfeng ‘Psychos’. They’ll let us go and hunt the other group down instead!”

“...” Edward gave him a long look, as if in understanding.

A hundred thousand gold coins. This was the equivalent of releasing a bomb onto the world of thieves and robbers here. It’d trigger a huge frenzy- a gold rush!

This storm could potentially suck many people in, maybe even cause unimaginable changes to the region. What changes?

We’ll just have to wait and see!

“This way, we’ll be able to quickly pass through and arrive at Sheng City a little earlier!” continued Ye Lang.

“Sheng City? Why?”

“I want to participate in next year’s---no--- this year’s ranking competition!” He’d had the sudden realisation that he had entered the new year. ‘Next year’ was now ‘this year’.

“You too? What academy are you from?” asked Edward in surprise.

“I’m… Why should I tell you? What do you want?” Ye Lang suddenly turned defensive. Somebody once warned him not to reveal too much information about himself.

Ye Lang? If there weren’t ten thousand Ye Langs in the mainland there would be at least eight thousand of them. Who’d know this Ye Lang was THAT Ye Lang?

However, even if he hid his identity, many would still know who he was. There was only one Ye Lang who could casually pay someone a hundred thousand gold coins!

“Well… I’m also one of the participants. That’s why I had to ask,” coughed Edward, exasperated.

Ye Lang examined him, then huffed with disgust, “So you’re surveying your opponent, seizing me up. That’s not very ethical of you!!”

“...”

…

Along their journey, the three of them met many robbers, all quickly redirected away. At the same time, news of the Dianfeng Gang receiving a hundred thousand gold coins started to spread.

There was initially no good reason for the rest to take the gang’s hundred thousand gold coins, but Ye Lang told them that he’d paid for the protection fees of every gang in the mountains- so everyone had a right to the money!

Also, Ye Lang even said that he’d personally defeated the Dianfeng gang so that money was definitely given to them voluntarily!

Many people could confirm this. They confirmed that Ye Lang and the two definitely had this capability. Edward was an expert martial artist while Little Xin was an incredible, peculiar fighter herself!

The thief community came alive with this news!!

A hundred thousand gold coins and everyone had a right to it. This was a ticking time-bomb! It was so powerful everyone forgot everything else.

Ye Lang, the instigator of this frenzy, never cared for the whole thing though. He didn’t even know what happened to these robbers in the end!
