Chapter 462 - Disclosed the News on Purpose (1/2)
In the woods, as Li Yong doesn’t answer Hongyu’s call, she immediately gets nervous.
Hongyu is hesitant for a moment. Seeing that there isn’t any noise around, she jumps between the towering trees, approaches Lyu Chun as if she were an ape, and gently stands on Lyu Chun’s side as she says, “It’s been so long and there’s no news from Yong at all. I called him and he didn’t pick it up. Is something wrong with him?”
“Nothing will happen to Li Yong.” Lyu Chun’s tone is firm. She is very confident in Li Yong’s strength. Even her master is desperately trying to draw Li Yong to his side. She believes that only her master in the world can do anything to Li Yong.
She stares at the Sea View Cliff. Amid the profound darkness, despite the fact that she can’t see Li Yong, she can always hear some sounds and tell the subtle sounds of fighting and screams from them whenever a wind blows over in her direction.
“But what if something does happen to him?” Hongyu is still concerned about Li Yong, “How about I go over there and have a check?”
“Yong won’t let us do anything rash.” Lyu Chun warns her faintly.
“Do you want to wait here to take care of his body?” Hongyu is a little unhappy. She has heard those tiny sounds of fighting and screaming as well, which is the reason why she is getting more and more worried.
The two girls don’t realize that someone is watching them just a hundred meters away.
“It turns out they are two young and beautiful girls, right? It’s rare! It is so rare. Since the Taoist Priest of Nanyang and Lummox are both here, they must have obtained Shi Ying. And I am no match for them. In that case, I will just kidnap these two girls home and let them deliver a few babies for me so that I can pass down my martial skills to my descendants.”
It is an old man with a beard, who is dressed in a black robe adorned with stars, looking rather odd. He stands on the treetop, ponders for a moment, and is about to approach Hongyu and Lyu Chun, only to be stopped by a bald monk in a pale yellow robe.
“Old Star-Lord, I advise you not to act rashly. You may not necessarily be a match for Li Yong.” It turns out the monk is Master Dou. As he was making his way out just now, he sensed Old Star Lord’s aura. Then he made a big turn and turned back. Seeing that the Old Star-Cluster was approaching in the direction of the Sea View Cliff, he thought that the Old Star-Cluster was going to fight for Shi Ying.
Old Star-Lord shouts angrily, “Stinky monk, how dare you look down on me?”
Old Star-Lord doesn’t know who Li Yong is at all. He won’t bother to pay attention to someone who doesn’t even have a name at all. He is taking a fancy to Lyu Chun and Hongyu now. Although he knew that both Lyu Chun and Hongyu are not weak when it comes to martial skills, he is sure that they are no match for him at all and he can easily capture them, bring them back home, and enjoy them.
“Old Star-Lord, kindly don’t get angry yet. How about we join forces? With the two of us, we’ll surely succeed. Once we get what we want, we can enjoy them together.” Master Dou is trying to persuade the Old Star-Lord to go with him to fight for Shi Ying in Li Yong’s hands. Since Shi Ying can’t be split in two, of course, they have to enjoy it together. Master Dou doesn’t know what Old Star-Lord is having on his mind yet.
“Stinky monk, you are a pervert. How dare you hit on the women I’ve taken a fancy to? I have never been in the habit of sharing women with anyone at all. Get out of here.” Old Star-Lord becomes instantly furious and swings his fist at Master Dou.
Master Dou is shocked as he thinks, “Women? Sharing women? What is he talking about?”
“I’m a monk. How could I intend to hit on a woman?”
He doesn’t know how he has offended the Old Star-Lord. Seeing that Old Star-Lord is going to hit him fiercely, he has no choice but to turn around and run away.
However, Old Star-Lord is no weaker than Master Dou. He chases after Master Dou and moves faster than him. Then he punches Master Dou in the back before he can flee beyond a hundred meters, knocking him against a tree and slowing him down immediately.
Seeing that he can’t escape, Master Dou has to beg for mercy, “Old Star-Lord, have mercy on me! Please don’t hit me again. You’ve misunderstood me. I’ve never liked women. How could I possibly steal a woman from you, Old Star-Lord? I’m talking about Shi Ying! A token for the Host of the Nanshan School as well as a dagger that is able to heal the sickness…”
The Old Star-lord is flabbergasted. Seeing that Master Dou, who doesn’t lust for women except for drinking and dining, just keeps begging for mercy instead of fighting back, Old Star-Lord is somewhat convinced and stops hitting him right away.
Old Star-Lord strokes his beard and asks solemnly, “Is that Shi Ying an authentic one?”
Master Dou, who is given a respite, stands up respectfully and slightly nods, “Yes. It’s absolutely an authentic one. This young man named Li Yong is Lin Tao’s disciple. Lin Tao has passed on Shi Ying to him, making him the Host of Nanshan School. Moreover, Lin Tao has become younger. It is said that he is where the secret lies in.”
“Has Lin Tao become younger?” Old Star-Lord strokes his beard and asks in a thoughtful manner, “To what extent?”
Master Duo says seriously, “Now he’s probably only fifty years old and even looks much younger.”
“How is that possible? Lin Tao has reached his life’s limit. He is a dying man and has one foot in the grave. How come he can live to the age of fifty years old? Could it be that the legend is true?”
Old Star-Lord is somewhat surprised. However, he quickly returns to normal. He, who is aged as well as experienced, has encountered and heard of various strange and weird things and won’t be easily surprised.
“Originally, I didn’t believe it either. But I saw it in person. Moreover, based on what my lady said, although Lin Tao had become younger, his strength had become weaker accordingly. We made an assessment and found that Lin Tao’s strength was less than half of what it had been back then. This is a perfect opportunity for us to get rid of the leftover evils of Nanshan School and grab the Shi Ying Dagger. Now that Li Yong is the new Host of Nanshan School and Lin Tao isn’t with him. If we kill Li Yong, we can get the Shi Ying.”
