Chapter 69: Conspiracy in the Valley

Three aspects that they knew? Zou Xiuwen brought up Hou Yuanxun’s curiosity.

Zou Xiuwen started to a.n.a.lyze, “Firstly, Ye Jinning must have lost his face to Hong Xiaobao. And I’m pretty sure that it’s quite serious. More importantly, he might have tried to seek revenge but failed severely. At last, he ran out of ideas and summoned his father, Elder Ye to help him personally.”

Hou Yuanxun could not stop nodding and said, “En, that must be the case.”

What Zou Xiuwen said made the most sense. After all, Ye Jinning was a one-in-a-hundred-years martial genius. This kind of character certainly had their own pride. He must have been forced to a position where he had to ask for help.

“Secondly,” Zou Xiuwen continued saying, “although I’m not too sure why both parties started to argue, I’m pretty sure that the origin of this argument must have been significant. Elder Ye wouldn’t have brought an entire troops here just to seek face for his son Ye Jinning. And obviously, they failed once again.”

“Oh ya, it all makes sense now!” Hou Yuanxun said and frowned. “I haven’t thought of this point before — the fact that Elder Ye could lead a group of soldiers there means that the cause must be major!”

“En, however this is not something we should focus on. Since the less we know about Thunder Sound Pavilion, the better.” Zou Xiuwen said slowly, “The true thing that is worth our attention is, just how did Elder Ye fail to Hong Xiaobao? That leads us to the third point, this Hong Xiaobao is definitely not a minor character. Even a formidable 8-star martial artist Elder Ye lost to him. What does this translate into? Hong Xiaobao has someone strong backing him! Furthermore, he also said that he wanted to build a sect just to stand against Thunder Sound Pavilion. Let me ask you, what kind of ordinary person would dare to say something as crazy as this?”

After listening to Zou Xiuwen’s words, Hou Yuanxun remained silent. It was undeniable that Zou Xiuwen’s a.n.a.lysis was on point.

“So what does Brother Zou…” Hou Yuanxun suddenly felt that this matter was not as easy as it may seem.

“We have insufficient information,” Zou Xiuwen laughed and said. “The only thing we are sure of is that this Hong Xiaobao is not a weak opponent. Being able to humiliate Ye Jinning and Elder Ye has already proven his capabilities.”

“Yeah…” Hou Yuanxun sighed and shook his head. “I knew it. There is no free lunch in this world. If this task was simple, it would not have fallen on our heads so easily.”

After pondering for a while, Hou Yuanxun said, “What if we wait another 3 months until the Gathering of Jiang Hu Elders takes place. At that time, we will gather other major sects to teach Hong Xiaobao a lesson?

Unexpectedly, Zou Xiuwen laughed and shook his head. “No way. No way. Brother Hou, think about it. Even if we’ve completed an easy task by Elder Ye, he wouldn’t lay his eyes on us anyway. Although this is a risky path, if we are able to do this effectively, how would he look at us by then?”
