Chapter 75: First Step into Jianghu (2/2)
The person leading them was big and tall with bright eyes. He had a protruding temple and tight muscles. With a glimpse of him, one would know that he was a martial artist.
”This guy's cultivation is not bad. He has almost reached the peak of Level One. Not easy!”
”Peak of Level One? I've already reached Level Two!” Junior Leopard mumbled to himself. His eyes slightly squinted, ”Teacher, what will happen next?”
”Next, they will test each other, and state their backgrounds!” Xu Yong said, ”This kind of conflict is just a small case. If those guys who started the fight come from respectable backgrounds, it should be this fella paying apologies. If not, there will be another fight!”
As expected, when the leading man walked to the front of the inn, the innkeeper had already waited here, ”Oh, Chief Hu, you finally come, you see this matter is in a... ”
Chief Hu glanced at the innkeeper, and ignored him. He walked to the door of the inn, cupped his fists and said, ”I'm Chief Hu Yebin from Baiyun branch of Tsing Lung Hall. My men weren't sensible and offended friends inside. If there was any offence, I plead pardon to these friends!”
”This is the so-called greeting first and then marshaling the army. You'd better lower your position when you don't know who's inside. In this case, no matter who it is, you are in the initiative position. If the person inside is an expert, he might not be hard on you for your good attitude. If it's just a rookie, this kind of behavior will also show your magnanimity!” Xu Yong continued explaining to Junior Leopard.
”What if the person inside is a bastard?!” Junior Leopard suddenly asked.
”Haha——”
Hearing Junior Leopard's sudden question, Xu Yong laughed out, ”If the person inside is a bastard, then there will be a fight!”
And they laughed together.
”Hmph, a small Tsing Lung Hall! How dare you show off in front of me!”
A cold voice came out from the inn, ”Scram quickly! If you disturb my mood, I'll turn this Tsing Lung Hall to a Dead Snake Hall!” [TL: Tsing Lung is Green Dragon]
These words were said too viciously. Hu Yebin's face changed drastically. No matter who was inside, to publicly denounce the Tsing Lung Hall in this manner, as the Branch Hall Chief, he definitely had to do something.
”This is called the dangerous beauty. Maybe the lady inside was quite pretty, so those few unlucky guys from Tsing Lung Hall went to cause trouble and thus broke their legs. However, now that this lady said things like this, Hu Yebin couldn't make a settlement anymore even if he has an intention to. This is called trouble coming out of mouth!” Xu Yong leisurely said on the second floor, ”The next will be a full-scale battle!”
”Your lady has a tough tone. I Hu Yebin would like to see what you've got!”
”This Hu Yebin is a rather steady person!”
Upon hearing Hu Yebin's words, Xu Yong's face revealed admiration, ”When one walks in the Jianghu, he cannot treat himself as something. There will always be someone stronger than you, so it'll only do you good to lower your position!”
”Yes, I remember!” Junior Leopard sounded.
Just in between their conversation, Hu Yebin had already entered the inn's door. Afterwards, ”Ping-pang ping-pang” sounds could be heard.
The sound of weapons clashing, tables and chairs flipping, people screaming and shouting and a woman's chiding was heard all in once, which was extraordinarily lively.
Junior Leopard was tempted to go down and see what was going on, but he was pulled back by Xu Yong.
”Just sit and listen. The people downstairs are not considered experts. It'll do you no good to see them battling personally. At a time like this, if you don't want to get into trouble, then you must be calm and wait patiently. Do you know how many people sacrificed their lives for curiosity every year in this Jianghu?”
”Yeah!” Junior Leopard had no choice but sit down and calm down, waiting quietly for the result to come out.
Suddenly, a scream echoed downstairs, and then it was Hu Yebin's rough laughter.
”So just a little brat! How dare you be arrogant in the territory of my Tsing Lung Hall—!” With the rough and arrogant laughter, Hu Yebin carried a white-clothed girl over his shoulders, and walked in big strides out of the inn. That white-clothed girl's body was stiff. Obviously, her acupoints were sealed, thus she was unable to move.
”Go, let's return, and give this little cunt a good lesson!”
”It seems like I've really overestimated him!” seeing Hu Yebin's satisfied and proud smile, Xu Yong frowned and said, ”Okay, Junior Leopard, now it's your turn.”
”Me?!” Junior Leopard who was watching the show was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Xu Yong, ”What should I do?!”
”Be a hero and save the beauty!” Xu Yong pouted his lips and smiled, ”This Hu Yebin's cultivation is merely at the peak of Level One, and you've reached Level Two. This kind of opportunity is rare!”
Junior Leopard blinked and somewhat understood Xu Yong's intentions. He laughed, and jumped down through the window. He loudly shouted, ”That man, how dare you rob a woman in broad daylight. What crime do you deserve, shouldn't you quickly put that woman down!”
”Pu------!” Xu Yong spat out the mouthful of old liquor he just drank.
