Chapter 182: Laughing at the Sight of Calamity…Wang She's Posthumous Affairs

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

There were many different opinions on the bride kidnapping in Jianghu. Still, one thing was beyond doubt: It was a woman who kidnapped this bride. Besides, the woman was strikingly similar in appearance and dress to one of the Chiefs of the Tian Long Taoism, Nian Wushuang, a Level Eight expert.

This way, the problem was more serious than Wang She kidnapped the bride himself. If it only involved Wang She, the Tian Long Taoism could argue that it was a personal conduct. But now there were two Chiefs involved. This meant that the Tian Long Taoism deliberately made things difficult for the Mingyi School.

Thus the Mingyi School launched queries on these grounds. But before the Tian Long Taoism responded, news broke out. The other Chief of the three Chiefs of Tian Long Taoism, Lei Xu from the Lei Family suddenly came to Qinlingjun City and carried incomparably generous presents for Ma Changtian in hoped of marrying his daughter. Lei Xu said he was the mastermind of this bride kidnapping. And he and Miss Ma had known each other for years and loved each other. However, since he had been practicing and delayed the time to proposal, Lu Shaoyou beat him to the punch. It was because of the success of Lu Shaoyou's early proposal that the Mingyi School reached an agreement with the Tian Long Taoism. Therefore, Lei Xu had been confined atop Tian Long Mystic Mountain by the experts from his family and the Tian Long Taoism. Stripped of the freedom to act, he could only ask both of his sworn friends for help ruin the wedding. He declared that he would accept all means of revenge, whether they were from the Mingyi School or the Golden Lights Cave.

As what he said, on the day before he proposed, Nian Wushuang sent Ma Linglong to the Governor Mansion herself. At the mansion, Nian Wushuang talked with the Governor's wife behind the scenes for half a day and no one knew what they had talked about.

It was a pity that Lei Xu's proposal did not go smoothly and he was driven out of the Governor Mansion that day. According to witnesses, Lei Xu came out with a bloody, bruised face, as if he had taken one hell of a beating. Even the betrothal gifts were also thrown at the door of the Governor Mansion, dazzling the crowds of passersby. Most people had never seen such treasure and said they had lived in vain.

What most excited and surprised the passersby was that Lei Xu walked away regardless of the betrothal gifts on the ground. Then idle passersby made a small fortune.

This incident complicated the entire affair, but naturally also made the entire affair clearer.

With the entire affair revealed to all from beginning to end, it became clear why Junior Leopard kidnapped the bride, why Nian Wushuang, a lofty and detached woman took part in this deed and why these two had the self-assurance to defy the original agreement reached between the Tian Long Taoism and the Mingyi School.

This was why we said that the entire affair was clearer, but this had complicated the entire affair in turn.

With the appearance of Lei Xu, the three Chiefs of the Tian Long Taoism were completely implicated in this affair. Once the actions of these three and the facts all came to light, people in Jianghu all came to believe what Lei Xu said. If he and Miss Ma did not love each other and pledge to marry without parental consent, then who else would have taken such drastic actions for the sake of a woman? But who were the three? They were the three Chiefs, three pillars and the backbone of the Tian Long Taoism. One was a Level Eight expert from the Lei Family; another was a newly Level Nine expert, and the third, Nian Wushuang, whose background was even more mysterious. Rumor had it that Nian Wushuang's background was no lower than Lei Xu. The three worked together to commit such an act. Then would the Tian Long Taoism ignore this? Would they dare to ignore this? Could they free from it?

Under these circumstances, there was no possibility of launching an attack. Therefore, Junior Leopard won 100 taels of silver at a casino.

With military force not an option, the oral conflict heated up. To those with discerning eyes, the Tian Long Taoism should resolve this matter by making a concession and returning the profits they had received previously from the Mingyi School; specifically, they should pay reparations to the Mingyi School as a compensation for the losses caused by breaking their word to the Ming Yi School and the Golden Light Cave. As for whether Lei Xu or Lu Shaoyou could finally marry Ma Linglong, that would depend on their capability.

Nevertheless, judging by the Mingyi School's style, this marriage was already over and no one else would mention it again. What remained was personal enmity of White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou and the three Chiefs of Tian Long Taoism. However, it seemed that Lu Shaoyou stood no chance of success. At least, he had to swallow the insult for the time being.

For this marriage, both the Mingyi School and the Tian Long Taoism were the losers.

The Mingyi School had thoroughly lost face. They had hoped the newly promoted Level Eight expert, the White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou, could take charge of the overall situation in the future, but his wife was kidnapped in public at the wedding. No matter how strong he was, or how high status he possessed, Lu Shaoyu would feel shame for a couple of years in Jianghu unless he would win back his dignity.

As for the Tian Long Taoism, they seemed to be the winner of this farce, and gained great fame and prestige since Wang She had become a Level Nine expert. But at the same time people saw the other side: The pillars of Tian Long Taoism, the three Chiefs with cultivation of over Level Eight, violated their sect's orders. No, they were not violating, but trampling! The agreement reached between their sect and the Mingyi School, which would benefit their sect enormously, had been torn to shreds. Besides, the Mingyi School had to clean up the mess at the expense of sect's profit.

What did this mean?

It meant that there had been a huge contradiction between the strongest of this generation and the real power holder in the Tian Long Taoism. The strongest could not alter the power holder's decisions in authority, but he could break the decisions in strength.

In a way, this was a strong signal from the strongest of this generation in Tian Long Taoism. They were no longer satisfied with flaunting their strength to the world; they wanted to utter their own voices and make their own decisions in the Tian Long Taoism. This joint action of the three Chiefs may actually act for their senior brother, because they were all disciples of the Tian Long Taoism, grew up together and had a great relationship. On the other hand, there should be a demonstration against the power holder of the Tian Long Taoism. They may want to tell the power holder that they were no longer content to be just a thug, simply fighting for the Tian Long Taoism.

Therefore, for some busybodies in Jianghu, this was undoubtedly a wonderful and exciting story. They were dazzled and exhilarated.

For Junior Leopard, who was remaining dormant on the River Heart Island, it was like watching a play. He often drank tea, ate dessert and listened to the rumors in Jianghu in a tea house in Jiang City. From time to time, he interjected his own speculations without any consciousness of being a participant. You knew, he was personally involved in the bride kidnapping and even killed a Level Eight expert.

”You live quite comfortably!”

When Junior Leopard was looking at the long dragon composed of ships of all sizes on the Luo River, wondering what to do to maximize his benefits, a familiar, feminine voice suddenly came to his ears.
