Chapter 155 - Could you be more reasonable
Chapter 155: Chapter 155- Could you be more reasonable
The stall owner looked at the four people who wore weird dresses and drank tea and shook his head.
Why were people now so arrogant.
A while ago, there was a young man who sat here to look at the Chen Family. He stared for a long time, and maybe he finally thought things through.
Who knew that he would face such a person again today.
What was the use of looking?
Did they think that just by looking, they could become strong like Chen Family?
Don’t dream, kid, it was better if you went to work hard.
“Boss, is that the Chen Family?” The four of them wore the same black robes; on it sewed a red bug, it was really vicious. It looked life-like like a bug was resting on the shirt.
The tea stall owner said, “Yes, this is the Chen Family, one of the biggest families in Jiang City. Since Old Master Chen was murdered, Chen Family Young Master worked hard and done many remarkable things.”
Did he know how to brag?
Of course, he did.
The bug incident had nothing to do with Chen Shengyao; he was someone who was conned. However, the commoners all thought that he was the one that did it, so he had to admit it. Especially since the Chen Family’s situation was turning for the better, it actually made him delighted.
“So amazing, so this Chen Family must definitely be really strong?” One black-robed man asked.
The stall owner laughed, “I don’t know about that, I just sell tea, how would I know how strong they are. However, you definitely wouldn’t know about something; a very important figure came to our Jiang City.”
When he said that, the tea stall owner showed a gleeful smile.
If he had something to say, then just say it, why bother hiding?
If not for this place being Jiang City, in broad daylight, they would have attacked, to personally rip open his mouth and smash his teeth so that he would finish his sentence.
There was only one word to describe people who didn’t finish their sentences.
“Assholes.”
“Oh, who?” The black-robed male asked he was evidently really curious.
Some news that was worth being proud of to others was also important to other people.
The owner carried a pot of tea over; he seemed like he was tempted to talk to these outsiders.
The black-robed male made space for the old man.
Don’t be anxious
Let’s talk slowly.
“Why not you all guess, if you get it right, this meal is free.” The owner said.
Damn.
They were so furious with the stall owner that they were about to cry.
To actually make them guess. What a bold old man? They usually would carry their blades to make people guess whether or not they would stab him.
“Boss, why guess, why don’t you just tell us.” The Leader smiled as he asked.
The owner smiled, “Forget it, let me tell you, the Crown Prince came to Jiang City and stayed here for a period of time. Isn’t that an important person? Our Jiang City had never had such a person come before. Now, after he came, I feel that the air around became fresh.”
What nonsense, what a lackey.
What air is becoming fresh?
“Crown Prince? How amazing.” The black-robed men exchanged glances with one another; they didn’t expect the Prince to actually go past Jiang City, even staying in Jiang City.
This was important news which they had to report to the Gang.
Any small clue might affect their future.
“Of course, for the Prince to come to Jiang City is our honor. Let me tell you; the Prince also drank my tea. You are sitting at a place that he sits, how is that? Do you feel like you have sniffed a fresh of celestial air?” The owner bragged.
He could only use these fake things to bluff outsiders.
Of course, these outsiders couldn’t be offended; it was just the owner being naive. He didn’t see the true colors of these people and just continued to brag.
The black-robed men knew what could be trusted and what couldn’t.
Although they were talking to the old man, their eyes locked onto the Chen Manor.
Head Xu gave them a mission that they had to complete; if not, the consequences weren’t something they could handle.
Just at that moment,
People came out of Chen Manor.
The four black-robed males looked on, “Who is that?”
The owner laughed, “That is the Chen Family Manager, behind him is the Chen Family Young Master Chen Shengyao. How is that, he is the hero of our Jiang City. In the past, he was bad, but he is much better now. All this is because of High Royal Highness; he had instilled some new values into Young Master; if not, why would he change?”
The black-robed men doubted.
Maybe it wasn’t as he expected.
His Royal Highness Xiao Qi instilled values?
That was impossible; he had to have said something to make that person change.
They observed Chen Shengyao and noticed from the way he walked that he wasn’t a martial path expert. He seemed weak, but that was impossible. If he really was weak, then he definitely wouldn’t have been able to kill One-eye.
What was being hidden within?
They didn’t dare to attack before they were clear what that was.
“Leave.”
The black-robed man took out the money and left. The reliability of what the old man was bragging was just too low.
Chen Shengyao couldn’t stay in the manor anymore; he was just so bored.
That feeling of being surrounded and praised did make him feel great.
One had to say that it was totally different from his usual style.
Which was why his heart rejected it.
Chen Shengyao causally looked around the city.
He didn’t know what he wanted to do.
He felt like life had lost its purpose.
In the past, he looked at girls, and to waste time; he would head up to tease them.
But now?
Tease?
Who knew how many people wanted to tease him and enter Chen Family through that way?
Did they really think he couldn’t see that?
In the distance.
The black-robed man moved his finger, and a bug flew out. He didn’t want to alert anyone, but if he didn’t probe their strength, they didn’t dare to attack.
The bug flapped its wings and moved really quickly.
As long as one was an expert, one would be able to react and smack it.
Unfortunately.
When the bug was about to touch them, they didn’t even react. They didn’t even know anything had hit them from behind.
The black-robed male swiftly called back the bug.
“Is he acting, or is it real?” The black-robed man asked.
The other three were really silent.
“I am unsure; it is best if we continue to observe.”
Chen Shengyao still didn’t know that he had been targetted by people from Nine Bug Gang.
Manager You felt happy that his Young Master had such a high place in the hearts of the people.
If this went on, Chen Family would be able to recover to their peak period, even able to exceed that.
In the past, he felt that he had to be gentle towards the people, to let them respect the Chen Family, and to honor them.
However, Old Master only listened to a little of what he said; sometimes, he still instilled fear in them.
Naturally, he didn’t need to mention the Young Master, who was just too violent.
Now it was with much difficulty did he change to this.
The four black-robed men followed Chen Shengyao and noticed that this fellow, like what that stall owner said, was really welcomed by the people.
They really wanted to know two things.
Did he kill One-eye?
The second was what did the Prince say to him.
Both were important matters; the 2nd one was extra; maybe if they reported it to the gang, they would be rewarded.
As time went on.
They were more and more curious.
Was he strong or not?
They followed him for so long; if he had noticed them, they would have some reaction. But looking at the situation, they hadn’t.
It confused them.
That night.
The Chen Manor courtyard was quiet. Three black shadows entered, outside one black shadow guarded.
If the situation went wrong, he would leave right away.
To report the situation to the gang.
The black-robed man outside was really nervous.
Please not let anything happen.
Even if something happened, they had to run out and not stay there.
They were all people who had bloodstained blades; they had faced all sorts of different missions. However, they relied on their calm demeanor to live until now.
Not long later.
The three shadows came out; one of them carried someone on his shoulder. It was from Chen Shengyao.
“You are all wrong; they are just so weak. So simple, without any difficulty at all.” One of them said.
If they knew he was so weak.
They should have acted from the start.
Why did they wait till now?
It just made them speechless.
They really thought too much; the actual situation wasn’t so complicated.
When they entered the room, they were really wary. But he was still snoring. They thought that he was baiting, but after knocking him out, did they notice that he wasn’t acting and was really weak.
Within the city, abandoned room.
The black-robed male tossed Chen Shengyao in, with a thud, Chen Shengyao shouted in pain. He came back awake.
“Li Cong…” He shouted for his lackey habitually.
Slowly, he noticed that the situation wasn’t right.
This wasn’t the Chen Manor.
After which, he saw four black-robed wrapped bodies appearing in front of him.
Gulp!
Chen Shengyao was a little nervous.
What was going on?
Where was he?
Why did they drag him here?
He didn’t do anything bad recently, the commoners in the city all loved him.
“Fellow man, did you grab the wrong person? If not that tell me if you need ransom, I will give you as much as you want. Don’t be rash.” Chen Shengyao said.
He was really afraid.
Don’t kill me; if you did, you wouldn’t get anything. Moreover, he had so much to enjoy in life.
Peng!
One of the black-robed men didn’t hesitate to punch his face.
It was really heavy and left a fist mark on his face.
Chen Shengyao shriveled out and retreated; he cried a little as he said, “Why not speak nicely, why did you even hit me, I didn’t offend you at all.”
What was going on?
They could have just talked, why did they have to attack?
I had never been beaten, no I was beaten by that silly guy on Martial Path Mountain. That was just the only time. Why were there more people here to beat him up?
The black-robed man didn’t let Chen Shengyao off so easily, punching him once more.
“Act more.”
Chen Shengyao was stunned.
What did he even act?
He was sleeping so soundly and was dragged here for no reason. They even said he was acting, could they even speak some sense?
