”Run!” Just when he was vexed, the initiator Ma Linglong chuckled. She turned the horse around and left.
”General Ma, this...” Xu Yong awkwardly looked at Ma Tai-an, his gaze revealing an intention of requesting for help.
”What?” Ma Tai-an grinned, yet he didn't reply. He only watched the back of Ma Linglong and shouted, ”Aha, Miss is returning. You idiots quickly go and protect Miss. Don't let her get hurt again!”
Before his voice had died away, dozens of Metal Horse Carriage from behind followed Ma Linglong and they were as fast as lightning. In a blink, there were only Xu Yong, Junior Leopard and Ma Tai-an on the wide official road.
”Elder Xu, thank you for the matter of today. I have to leave now. We didn't hear anything at all just now, haha...”
”You!” Xu Yong raised his hand and wanted to say something, but Ma Tai-an had already left like a rush of the wind.
Passively putting down the raised right hand, Xu Yong looked at Junior Leopard and laughed bitterly, ”Disciple, now we're in trouble that cannot get rid of!”
Junior Leopard's eyelids twitched. He also sighed heavily. Ma Linglong's words caused them, who wanted to take some advantages of others, to get into great trouble.
It was as if they ate half a green worm and they wanted to spit it out but couldn't.
Both men were very gloomy. The whole world was watching the marriage between the Governor Mansion of Yunzhou and the Mingyi School. Besides, according to sources, the imperial court of Jin was also involved in the matter. This was the reason that Ma Tianchang agreed to the marriage, even though Lu Shaoyou encountered obstacles when he proposed.
Once this was settled, there was no room for Ma Linglong to reject. She had no right to reject in this matter.
Wang She did make a scene, but it was not because of Ma Linglong, because of the Tian Long Taoism. It was to show the position of the Tian Long Taoism. All the world thought so, and no one would think of Ma Linglong having a relationship with the Chief of the Tian Long Taoism. After all, this Governor Mansion had nothing to do with the Tian Long Taoism at all.
Today, however, Ma Linglong's words had complicated this matter.
Ma Linglong definitely was by no means just the Governor's daughter. At least she was not what people thought that she was nothing but the Governor's daughter.
She and the Tian Long Taoism had a strange relationship. Otherwise, she wouldn't request to go to the Tian Long Mystic Mountain with Xu Yong and Junior Leopard. After being interrupted halfway, she even asked Junior Leopard to send a message to Lei Xu who was in the Tian Long Mystic Mountain. What was more, she gave Junior Leopard a jade pendant that allowed Junior Leopard free access to the Tian Long Mystic Mountain.
Furthermore, she called Lei Xu ”big brother Lei Xu”!
What an affectionate and ambiguous address!
By comparison, ”little brother Zhou Bao” was paled much!
Who was Lei Xu?
He was one of the three Chiefs in the Tian Long Taoism. His position was the same as Wang She, but in the eyes of the people in the martial arts world, he carried much more weight than Wang She.
Wang She was only a Chief of the Tian Long Taoism. However, Lei Xu was not only a Chief of the Tian Long Taoism, but also the legitimate son of the Lei Family, one of the three families of the Tian Long Taoism. He owned heaven-sent bloodline, and was the most popular choice of the Tian Long Taoism's next suzerain.
They could not afford to offend such a person.
”Big brother.”
Thinking of this address,
both Xu Yong and Junior Leopard couldn't help shivering and sweating.
Both of them thought of the seriousness of the matter at the same time.
To send a message?
If Lei Xu really had a dubious relationship with Ma Linglong and fought with Lu Shaoyou with Wang She at his wedding, then it would be a big deal.
The Mingyi School, Lu Shaoyou, even the imperial court of Jin could do nothing towards the Chief of Tian Long Taoism. However, they could deal with Xu Yong and Junior Leopard, who sent message to Lei Xu, at will.
What if they were not going to send the message?
Lei Xu won't spare them!
If Ma Linglong got married to Lu Shayou, everyone seemed to be happy. However, Ma Linglong was not happy. She may say that she married Lu Shaoyou instead of her big brother Lei Xu since they didn't send her message. Then she may egg Lei Xu on to deal with Xu Yong and Junior Leopard!
If Lei Xu was a character that liked to vent his anger on others, then they would also get into trouble!
”Teacher! You've been in Jianghu for years. Is chivalry really so hard in Jianghu?”
”This isn't a matter of chivalry, nor is it a matter of being in the Jianghu. This's unlucky and it cannot blame the Jianghu!” Xu Yong said with an expressionless face.
”Then what do we do now?”
