Chapter 76: Miss Ma
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
Hu Yebin was really unlucky today.
As a person who was the Hall Chief of one branch of Tsing Lung Hall, his daily life was originally happy and unfettered.
Although Tsing Lung Hall was only a small gang listed at the bottom of Jianghu, it was in charge of several town centralizations after all. Baiyun Town was one of them, and it was one of the richest towns that Tsing Lung Hall controlled.
To be a Hall Chief here, if nothing else, one could easily get access to delicious cuisine. Another important point was that unlike other places, this place was entirely controlled by Tsing Lung Hall, so no other gangs in Jianghu dared to compete here. Therefore, life here was also easy.
He only planned to have a delightful drink at Prunus Tower and play with a couple of girls at lunchtime today. He had never thought that his pleasure would end so quickly. There was not enough time for him to enjoy all of his bottles before a few servants came into Prunus Tower, hastily describing somebody making trouble at the Happiness Inn.
There was no way to stay out of this matter as a Hall Chief of Tsing Lung Hall's branch here.
He had no choice, but he held back all of his anger and followed the servants to the Happiness Inn. They were here to find out what kind of background the troublemaker had in the way of Jianghu.
He also did not expect the troublemaker to be a novice who knew nothing about Jianghu's rules, and that was fine. In this era, many young guys made a living in Jianghu only mastering one or two techniques. The world would not seem more crowded with one more novice.
But the troublemaker was even more annoying. It was before he could finish his words that she blustered in Tsing Lung Hall without scruples. As he was the Hall Chief of Tsing Lung Hall, he intended to settle this matter in peace, but what she was doing had prevented him from doing so.
He was also lucky, the troublemaker had some techniques but was only a rookie after all. Her cultivation was only at Level One. With a few movements, she was stopped by him through acupoints. It was only then that he had the time to see her carefully, and no doubt she was beautiful and cute. He immediately wanted to bring her with him and had not thought about the future. What would the future have been? It would have depended on the girl's backer. If she was not born in a high class, he would not mind being their son-in-law.
Another surprise followed. He was about to leave when another voice caught his attention and required him to stop, and that person was a novice too!
That was a novice indeed. It was easy to know he was still new to Jianghu judging from his age, let alone his cultivation. The young man was no more than 13 years old, nice looking from head to toe, and innocence filled his eyes, but his comments were rather irritating.
The young boy jumped down from a window of this building's second floor, he reckoned. Nobody was there anymore when he raised his head upwards and checked the window. He was well impressed.
”Good boy, you are still too young to understand what happened. This young girl is insulting our Tsing Lung Hall, in such a public place, of course I have the right to ask clearly about her reasons. It's none of your business. Now, listen to me, leave this place as soon as possible to avoid getting yourself into trouble. You won't have the chance to regret it if you don't take my suggestions!”
Junior Leopard rolled his eyes, looking down at this guy as if he was an idiot. ”Unfortunately, I happen to be very upset today. When I'm upset, I can't bear a moment of what isn't right. Release the girl quickly, or I won't give you any mercy!”
Junior Leopard thrust out his chest, trying very hard to create an imposing Qi Power.
But he was too young, and his gesture appeared rather funny. Everybody supporting Tsing Lung Hall could not resist laughing at him.
”You damn boy! You go so far as to challenge our Hall Chief. It's your choice to learn the hard way, let me teach you a lesson!”
A member of Tsing Lung Hall yelled and leaped forward, and within a second he was at Junior Leopard's front. He reached out his hand to catch Junior Leopard without any hesitation.
Seeing this guy attacking him, Junior Leopard was not nice to him anymore. His body moved lightly and his feet pointed to the ground, then his two fists quickly presented the movement of Black Tiger Grabbing the Heart. When his fists touched the guy's shoulders, the guy was immediately thrown away more than 30 feet, lying on the ground and twisting his body, groaning painfully.
At that moment, an iron token fell off of a window from the second floor. Hu Yebin caught it unconsciously and it was truly heavy. He lowered his head to check it and was frightened to see what was carved into it. The iron token was smaller than a man's palm, with its entire body black, and one word, ”Wu”, flashed in shining silver.
Tiny as the Tsing Lung Sect was in Jianghu, they still could identify the Wu family's token with just one glimpse. And as the word was in silver color, it became easily understood that the elders from the Wu family's had arrived.
Baiyun Town was Yunzhou's hinterland, so it was the hub of the Wu family's. Gangs like the Tsing Lung Sect surely did not dare to offend them. That was why Hu Yebin's face turned white immediately as soon as he saw that token. Now he only prayed the elder he met today had a good temper. Should this elder be irritable, his life would end today.
”I... I don't know which elder is visiting Baiyun Town today. Please accept my apologies for not greeting you in the first place!”
Hu Yebin held the token with both hands, speaking upwards respectfully.
”I have nothing to do with you guys from the Tsing Lung Sect and, therefore, don't need your greetings.” Xu Yong reached out his head from the second floor and glanced at the first floor, saying, ”Junior Leopard, take the young lady here. You guys may leave now.”
”As... as you wish!” Hearing Xu Yong was letting them go, Hu Yebin nodded his head as if beating a drum. He handed the token to Junior Leopard with full respect and led all his people away, fleeing like the wind.
Junior Leopard went closer to the young lady and unblocked her acupoints. Her face was then clear to him.
She was pretty. Even though she was not beautiful enough to overthrow cities or ruin states, she was, in fact, pretty enough to be the first or second beauty in this town. She was around 16 or 17, and her temperament appeared rather unreasonable.
The lady was grateful to Junior Leopard for freeing her from the acupoints. But she was surprised by how young he was. Her acupoints had been blocked and she was carried on someone's shoulder previously, so she could not see his face. Now seeing that her rescuer was 11 or 12 years old, she was reasonably astonished.
”Little brother, was it you who just saved me?!”
