154 Senior Brother (1/2)
Xue Wei and Hei Gou were not worried about a fifth layer Sky Warrior coming after them. They were not arrogant, but they were two against one, and Hei Gou had a physical strength that could rival a true blue Heavenly Warrior.
Unable to understand what was going on within the minds of these two experts, the young woman was puzzled and unsure of what to do. Should she continue urging them to leave, or should she step back?
She had already tried, so no one could blame her for not doing more. Eventually, after seeing how the two young men were leisurely eating the food, she was rather curious as to what exactly gave these two shabby-looking experts so much faith in their own strength.
Bowing and backing out of the room, the young woman did not go far but stayed close by to keep an eye out.
Not long after, the great sect experts appeared as expected. The three who had been thrown out of the restaurant were now brazenly walking in front, had their chests pushed out, anddisdainfully glanced every which way at the people in the restaurant.
Murmurs appeared in the restaurant. The patrons were eager to see the drama that was unfolding, but they were also slightly upset.
Beat one, and someone stronger appears. Even though they were the ones at fault, they had no shame in using numbers and their sect to suppress others. This brought a bad taste to the observers' mouth.
The murmur was mainly in low whispering voices, but a few were clamoring out loud, complaining about how the Crimson Sunshine Sect could only bully others, but when others retaliated against them, they would use their background to bash them down.
The number of people voicing these concerns grew with increasing momentum, and the face of the fifth layer Sky Warrior on the Crimson Sunshine Sect's side furrowed his brows. What were they talking about?
This was related to their sect's reputation, so the young expert stopped in his tracks and looked at the entire second floor, trying to find out who had complained about his sect.
”I don't know what all of you are talking about; it was clearly my sect being bullied by others with far superior strength. It is only natural for us to take revenge.” He stated this calmly, but his words caused many to choke on their drinks, some to laugh, and others to snort in disdain.
”Is that what your friends told you?” someone asked. It was a second layer Sky Warrior. He even stood up so that everyone could see who it was that was speaking.
His righteous behavior caused the fifth layer Sky Warrior to recoil. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the three disciples who had asked for his assistance, and saw that they were all looking somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Then he closed his eyes and sighed. He was rather intelligent, and it did not require much for him to realize what exactly had transpired. These junior brothers of his had lied to him about the actual proceedings.
Sighing, he was unsure of what to do. But when riding a tiger, it was impossible to get off, and thus he had no other option than to go and get revenge for his junior brothers.
”The independent cultivator left no face for the Crimson Sunshine Sect,” the fifth layer Sky Warrior said after a bit of consideration. ”He threw out three of our sect members without considering what it would do to our reputation. It is only natural that I reclaim our lost face – that I make him pay for his behavior.”
The man who had stood up to interject understood that it was impossible for the Crimson Sunshine Sect to back down, and nodded his head with a wry smile on his face.
He did not sit down again. Instead, he followed behind the group towards the upper floors where the private rooms were located.
Others understood this man's intention and also rose from their chairs to see the clash between the two sides.
Drama was always a welcome spice in the plain waiting time before the contest began.
Xue Wei and Hei Gou had finished their meal. They were aware that someone was coming for them, so instead of leaving the room, they stayed a bit longer, chatting with one another, until a loud voice shook the room.
”Country bumpkins, come out to accept justice!” someone yelled with his voice infused with Qi and shook the entire building.
”Country bumpkins?” Xue Wei grimaced. ”Can they really not come up with a better name than that?”
”Perhaps they feared we would not know who they were talking about,” Hei Gou argued, but neither of them was worried. They slowly stood up from their seats and left the room, stepping out into the hallway outside.
Not only them, but all the rooms had also been vacated. The guests were all eager to see the drama that would unfold.
Xue Wei and Hei Gou were both walking leisurely down the hallway. Their faces held no nervousness, and Hei Gou had his trademark smirk on his face, making him look even more devilishly handsome than usual.
The casual way they were behaving caught the crowd by surprise. No one had expected that this duo would so openly face a fifth layer Sky Warrior from the Crimson Sunshine Sect. It was a strong expert that could not be compared to ordinary fifth layer Sky Warriors.
”It's them!” a familiar voice shrieked. Xue Wei and Hei Gou both looked in the direction of the voice. There were four experts, with three that were familiar and one they had not seen before.
