I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-43

At the same time, outside of Luoxia Town, three wandering heroes dressed in short shirts were drinking in a private room of an inn.

One of them with a blue kerchief at a fried peanut and said, "Da Leng, have you scattered the net on that side?"

The wandering hero who was being called Da Leng, burped as he poured himself another jug of wine and said, "Of course! I will definitely obey the orders given by the leader. I've already scattered them all out."

"That's good. I think Third Brother is very interested in this matter, and so we should put in more effort."

"Don't worry, I know what I have to do." Da Leng took the jug back in the middle, rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Hey, have you two found out why is that person get arrested? Why so much movement?"

After hearing that, the wandering hero, who hadn't spoken for a while, moved the jug of the wine forward and smiled.

Da Leng understood the meaning at a glance, and quickly picked up the jug and filled it up, "Xie Zi, you always have the latest news. Hurry up, tell us, what did you hear?"

Nodding with satisfaction, Xie Zi picked up the wine and drank, "I will tell you because we are good brothers, but don't pass it on."

"Don't worry!" Da Leng patted his chest and roared, "We are notoriously tight-lipped, so hurry up and shoot."

"Okay, come closer, and I'll tell you." Xie Zi beckoned to the two of them.

Da Leng and another wandering hero cooperated very well and immediately got closer.

Xie Zi no longer appealed to the two of them, and whispered softly, "I heard that Boss Gu was defeated."

"Boss Gu!?" The two of them were shocked, and Da Leng even asked directly, "Boss Gu was defeated even with his skills? Which sect master did he meet?"

"That's our job to figure it out. But I heard that there didn't seem to be any major conflicts, so we are just gathering the information. We need to find out who the other party is."

"Tsk, this is crazy, I must be overwhelmed with shock." Da Leng said and took a sip and drank the wine, "But I heard that Boss Gu is a level 8 Mystic Practitioner. If he was defeated, then his opponent must be a Great Mystic Practitioner. If we were going to investigate this strong master, isn't it too…?"

According to Da Leng's knowledge, anyone who practices Qi would be very powerful. After that, the Mystic Practitioners, Great Mystic Practitioner, and the Superior Mystic Practitioners are all extremely strong beings. The Mystic Spirit and the Mystic King were even more terrifying.

So, when Da Leng heard that the gang was provoking a person who was might be a Great Mystic Practitioner, he suddenly felt a little scared.

"What's the point to be afraid!" The blue-kerchiefed wandering hero patted the square table, "Our leader is a Superior Mystic Practitioner!"

"But that person might be the same level as leader. After all, we don't who is he yet."

"Huh." At this moment, Xie Zi suddenly let out a sneer.

When the two heard it, they looked at Xie Zi at the same time and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Xie Zi shook his head, "Laugh at your ignorance."

"Oh? Why do you say it?" Da Leng asked while pouring another jug of wine for Xie Zi.

"Do you really think that the Yellow Gang, which only have one Superior Mystic Practitioner as the leader, can take root at the Rivernorth area and thrive in two years?"

"This…" Da Leng took a breath, thinking that what Xie Zi said was very reasonable.

There were many sects in Rivernorth, and the disciples in these sects like to being chivalrous and fighting for justice. If Yellow Gang didn't have enough foundation, it would be exterminated long ago.

"We admire for your knowledge. It's amazing. Then tell us, who is behind the Yellow Gang?"

"I don't know about that." Xie Zi also answered very succinctly, but after drinking the wine, he added, "But I can be sure that it has a strong background."

"How so?" the blue-kerchiefed wandering hero hurriedly asked.

"Well…"

Seeing that Xie Zi was selling off again, the blue-kerchiefed wandering hero became anxious, "I'll pay for the drinks! Brother, hurry up."

"Hahaha, okay, I'll tell you." Xie Zi rolled up his sleeves, propped his right hand on the table and said, "Luo Yan Dance-Shen Tingyun, Mountain Breaking Palm-Lin Yun. Have you heard of these two before?"

"No." The other two shook their heads at the same time.

"Tsk." Xie Zi shook his head, "You guys are ill-informed, how do you do your job later?"

"We have you, right? Just say it already."

"Then Sect of Soaring Sky and Wenshi Valley, have you heard about them?"

"I know these two!" Da Leng quickly replied: "There are well-known sects in East Commandery, I heard that there are many masters."

"Yes, you have some knowledge. Shen Tingjun and Lin Yunjian were the disciples of these two sects. They have made a name for themselves in Rivernorth District at a youthful age. It can be said that their future is limitless, but now… …these two have already…" Xie Zi said and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Dead!?" Da Leng asked in shock.

"Yes, and do you know why they died?" Seeing the two shaking their heads, Xie Zi continued, "It's because they interfered our Yellow Gang's affairs!"

"Huh!" Da Leng shouted, and suddenly became excited, "Are we really that powerful?"

"I'm afraid it's not that we are powerful, it's the forces behind us. So, I think that we are just bait used by some great demonic cults, specializing in catching those pretentious and talented disciples. Then, they wait for the right time and… kill them!"

"This, this…" Da Leng stammered, "Our gang killed those elite disciples of the sect, didn't those sects send people to trouble our gang?"

"Bullsh*t!" Xie Zi laughed disdainfully, "It's not our gang who killed them. Remember, our gang leader is just a Superior Mystic Practitioner, how could we dare to provoke these big sects? If they want to kill us by force, then they are killing innocent people indiscriminately. How is it different from the demonic cult? Alright, alright, that's all I have to say, and the rest is for you to comprehend. Of course, these are all my guesses, beware of losing your head if you spread it out."

"I understand. You are really something. I didn't expect it at all. Come on, let's drink."

After speaking, the three brothers pushed the cups for a while.

"Dong, dong, dong."

When the three of them were drinking and shaking their heads, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Bie Niu shouted.

"Boss, it's me, Dou San, I've brought news."

"Come in."

With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open, and Dou San walked in and cupped his hands, "Oh, the three bosses are all here, greetings to you all."

"Say it." Bie Niu said directly.

"Okay, just now the Tian Shu informed that he saw six people entering the town. They were all wearing straw hats, with the same characteristics as the bosses said."

"Oh? Where are they!?" Bie Niu's eyes shone brightly.

…

On the other side, Li Fucheng and other five people were looking for a place to rest in Luoxia Town.

"Maste… Oh, senior brother, this straw hat is too ugly, and I'm not used to wearing it." Tang Tingshuang said with an awkward expression.

Li Fucheng looked around, and found that he didn't attract attention before replying, "Next time, don't call it wrong again, remember that I'm your senior brother! Look at Brother Wang. He also wearing it, it must be useful. We have been too high-profile along the way, which has caused us so many troubles, we should be careful in the future."

"Okay…" Tang Tingshuang nodded obediently..
