92 Zhou Yu (2/2)
But the young man seemed to ignore all that. He cast a glance at the woman in the long gown and sighed instead.
”Let's not even talk about it. This stronghold had fallen earlier. Before I even came here, it was already ransacked by someone else. Only a few mooks are left. What about you? How many goods have you robbed?”
”None.” The girl in the long gown looked very charming when she walked forward in a catwalk. When she heard what he asked, she spread her arms. ”I listened to you and delivered the goods I stole.”
”Smart girl.” When the young man heard what she said, he finally gave the woman in the long gown another glance, and he put on a faint smile. ”Everyone says that my little sister is smart, but I never thought so over the years. Today, you finally did something smart people do.”
”Enough. I know you're smart, alright? Tsk… Are you supposed to act like this as my older brother? You only know how to make things hard for your little sister.” The woman in the long gown rolled her eyes at the man in vexation before she turned to the side. Then, she said spitefully, ”I got news about the Gate Realm player you asked me to check, the one named Happy.”
”Oh?”
When the young man heard this, he looked up. ”Are they in Yangzhou now?”
The woman in the long gown became even angrier. She glared at her older brother with her almond-shaped eyes.
”Zhou Yu! Why does it feel like all of your opponents are more important than your own sister?! How could you be like this?! Here I am, running around as your lackey for so long to get news for you, and you can't even spare a single sentence to comfort me and show your concern for me?”
”Comfort? Are you hurt?” The young man who named his in-game character Zhou Yu put on a very exaggerated look of bafflement. ”My dear sister, you don't need any of my concern, do you? Who in World of Martial Arts can stop you from running away and manage to hurt you? This is me showing my trust in my younger sister. But if he can stop you from running away, it'll be good. At least you can avoid not getting married.” The final sentence was spoken under the man's breath in a very light tone.
”What did you say?”
The woman in the long gown glared at him again. She had very sensitive hearing.
”I mean that I believe that no one in the world can stop you from running away. By the way, you said the boy has entered the territory of Yangzhou? You didn't attack him to test his strength, right?” Zhou Yu changed the topic.
'It's one of your old tricks!'
The woman in the long gown snorted lightly, but she answered without a hint of inattentiveness.
”He has indeed come, but he's not that good. There were only a few Blessed Realm players who joined that offline martial arts tournament, and they were all very weak. I don't understand why you should be paying so much attention to a Gate Realm player.”
”Don't try to stir me into action. If you really think he's nothing, you would have attacked a long time ago to test him and kill him. You wouldn't have waited until now.” Zhou Yu looked at his sister with a smile. ”If you had truly attacked, I would have definitely showed my concern for you as your older brother.”
”Hmph.” The woman in the long gown snorted contemptuously. She regarded this as beneath her attention. ”With his abilities?”
Zhou Yu fell silent. He no longer spoke.
When the woman in the long gown saw that her brother had stopped speaking, she instantly found the situation much more boring, and a thought rose in her mind. ”They'll come here soon. Brother, our clan quest this time is to steal the Murong Clan's tribute. Are you going to attack later?” Once she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Yu with a face full of hope.
Zhou Yu brought out another green foxtail as if he had just conjured it out of thin air. He placed it in his mouth and chewed on it, making the green foxtail bob up and down.
”You know the answer yourself,” he said frivolously.
”How would I know what's in your mind?”
The woman in the long gown turned her head to the side vindictively, but her ears were open and attentive.
Zhou Yu could do nothing else but shake his head and sigh. ”I'm in the middle stage of Blessed Realm, and I have a high-tier martial art in the ninth realm. My body movement skill is at Grandmaster Realm, and my body fortification skill is also at Grandmaster Realm. If I attack a Gate Realm player right now, even if I win, it won't be honorable.”
”Then why are you here?” the woman in the long gown asked in an incredibly disappointed tone.
She had always been very vexed by the results of the offline martial arts tournament. The champion had been snatched away by a brat in Gate Realm, and she regarded this in great scorn. She initially wanted her brother to kill Happy and upload a battle replay to whittle down that brat's prestige, but by the looks of it, her big brother clearly did not share this thought.
Zhou Yu's act of chewing his green foxtail paused for a moment, and a profound smile appeared on his stubble-covered face.
”It's quiet here.”
