137 Serve the Cloud of Wine. Drunk to High Heaven (1/2)
Seeing that the four men would not recover from the shock anytime soon, Yun Yang began inspecting his rewards from the trip to the Thousand Feet Lake.
He did not feel any strange changes after having so many cruxes of Divine Water enter his body. Perhaps when these fellows had left, he would test it out in the water to see the benefits. It was the essence of water after all; the hidden benefits might not show themselves immediately…
…
It was during the evening of this day that a few significant events took place in Tiantang City.
A black-clothed man appeared before the Cirrus House’s door, materializing out of nowhere.
As if sensing the presence, Yun Zuiyue rushed out to the door before calling out in delighted surprise, ”Brother Ling!”
Her words silenced the entire Cirrus House at once.
Who was it that Yun Zuiyue would call Brother Ling?
Was that question even needed?
It would be no one other than the living legend, the Unrivaled Expert – Ling Xiaozui!
”Yue’er.” Ling Xiaozui entered the house with a smile on his face; the otherworldly etherealness made all those who looked lower their heads in uncertainty.
His gaze had only briefly flicked over the place, but the imposing pressure that came with it was enough to overwhelm the entire Tiantang City.
It was only after they watched Yun Zuiyue lead Ling Xiaozui upstairs in happiness that the people downstairs began whispering to each other.
”Ling Xiaozui is here! He’s really here!”
”The legend is true. Ling Xiaozui is really Madame Yun’s big brother!”
”Oh my god!”
”Is this the reinforcement that Yun Zuiyue’s asked for?”
”Of course. If I were the one to be bullied like that, I would call for help as well…”
”How could she not call for help when she was just harmlessly doing business but was suddenly forced to be married off, as a concubine at that? If I had reinforcements of this kind, I would have asked him to come even earlier!”
”This is amazing! Look how those people had forced her then. Now that the calvary has arrived, get the popcorn ready.”
”Karma! This is what people call immediate karma!”
”Agreed! It’s not that karma doesn’t exist, it just wasn't time yet. Now that the time is right, karma strikes!”
”Who would have known that Ling Xiaozui would have gotten the news and come to provide relief. Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared in such a spectacular manner!”
”True, that.”
”However, since he’s made such a grand entrance, those folks who have bullied Yun Zuiyue must be about to meet their misfortune.”
”Let’s wait and watch!”
”We’ve certainly visited Cirrus House at the right time today! We managed to see the Unrivaled Expert, witness the arrival of the living legend. It’s absolutely worth the visit…”
”My heart is still thumping…”
…
Over and hour later, Yun Zuiyue appeared by the foyer again. Everyone’s gaze towards her had changed. If their gazes had been domineering and lustful while coated in fake chivalry before, they were now full of awe and admiration.
Ling Xiaozui had indeed been keeping an eye on this place all along.
Suddenly, a loud crashed shocked everyone to their senses.
A clear voice rang out, ”A mere Plethora Gem Tower actually dared to bully my sister. Who gave you such teeming courage to taunt the tiger? Why should I spare this tower, what regret would I suffer if I destroyed it? Tell the keeper of Plethora Gem Tower to explain to me in the martial arts world! Plethora Gem Tower shall cease its existence in Tiantang City from now onwards!”
The voice was unhurried and there was no anger laced in it but the sheer iciness of it chilled the hearts of everyone present.
This great ‘god’ had indeed come to stand up for Yun Zuiyue!
The building where the Plethora Gem Tower was once situated had actually been split right down its middle. One-half tilted to the left while another to the right; there was only a crack with its width decreasing going from top to bottom. The widest part was two feet wide while the lowest and thinnest part was only a slim gap.
The crack was smooth and straight; it had obviously been made with a sword.
The members of the Plethora Gem Tower were all standing on the street outside the building with pale faces and shudders; some of them had even wet themselves.
They had been working in the tower when the crack appeared out of nowhere… It was an absolute nightmare.
Some of their expressions were dazed, thinking of the scene they had just witnessed – the silhouette of a black-clothed man dropped from the sky, and just as they were about to indulge their curiosity about what this man was going to do next, a ray of bright sword light fell from the sky, scintillating brilliantly like the Milky Way.
Two men who had been talking while facing each other watched as a foot of distance was added in between them within the blink of an eye.
Lowering their heads to see, they noted that they were standing right at the edge where the sword had gone through.
The feeling of vertigo drove a buzz through their heads, causing their hairs to stand on end!
