Chapter 800 - 798: Shangguan Ba’s Attitude
"Oh.... Ah? Chen Tianlong?"
Lin Wushuang was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and hurriedly grabbed the phone from the bed, answering the call.
"Hello, Miss, why didn’t you answer the phone for so long?" On the other side, Chen Tianlong’s somewhat worried voice came through.
"Oh, I didn’t see it just now. Do you need something?" Lin Wushuang tried hard to suppress her excitement, deliberately pretending to be calm and asked nonchalantly.
"Hehe, is that so? Wushuang, it’s like this. We haven’t been to Tianshu Manor for some time, and I kind of miss Mo Jing. Could you accompany me there?" Chen Tianlong said in a negotiating tone.
"Well... let me think about it first, not sure if I’m free." Lin Wushuang deliberately said.
"Alright, if you’re not free, then I..."
"Tianlong, Wushuang is very free. It would be best if you treated us to a meal before going, that would be better." Lu Xiaoyu finally couldn’t hold back, grabbed her best friend’s phone, and said.
"Ow..."
But as soon as the words fell, a scream was heard, obviously, Lin Wushuang had abused her.
Chen Tianlong was speechless for a while, how familiar these sounds were, suddenly feeling that he had been neglecting these two. He felt a little guilty. But now that he had a girlfriend, it was time to cut off this emotional tie. The one-year promise was also coming to an end. His bodyguard task was about to complete, hopefully bringing them some beautiful memories in the remaining months.
"Hehe, Wushuang, bring Xiaoyu along. I’ll treat you to a big meal at noon, and then we’ll head to Tianshu Manor together." Chen Tianlong said.
"This....."
"It’s settled then, at noon, I’ll drive over to pick you up. You guys get ready." Chen Tianlong said, hanging up the phone before Lin Wushuang could respond.
Lin Wushuang was a bit reluctant, but after hanging up, she felt inexplicably happy, just embarrassed to show it in front of her best friend.
"Oh yeah, Wushuang, is Tianlong treating us to a big meal, right?"
"Yes, yes, you foodie!" Lin Wushuang said with annoyance, but a hint of joy appeared on her face.
"Hehe, great!"
Lu Xiaoyu began jumping joyfully on the bed.
Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall.
The news of Cheng Hao’s death quickly reached the ears of Shangguan Ba, the Hall Master of Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall, through Hao Shuai. At the moment, Shangguan Ba was holding an emergency meeting at the martial arts hall, and everyone looked at the corpse of Senior Brother Cheng Hao, filled with anger.
"Young Master Hao, tell us the details, what’s going on?" Shangguan Ba was a bit emotional since Cheng Hao was his eldest disciple and the last hope to inherit the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall.
This person was not only quick-witted but also powerful, having reached the Yellow Dao Seven Stars at a young age. Now he suddenly passed away, making it hard for him to accept such reality.
"Hall Master, it was like this. That day, Senior Brother Cheng Hao came to assist in the attack, with the goal of taking down Chen Tianlong. But unexpectedly, just as he was about to strike, Chen Tianlong released a hidden weapon, catching him off guard, and by the time we discovered it, it was too late. Senior Brother Cheng Hao was directly slapped to death by Chen Tianlong." Hao Shuai began to distort the facts.
"Impossible, Cheng Hao had the strength of a Yellow Dao Seven Stars, how could he be killed by Chen Tianlong in one move? Plus, when you went to find him, you said there were five or six Yellow Dao Seven Stars experts dealing with Chen Tianlong together; how did Chen Tianlong just deal with him alone?" Shangguan Ba was obviously not easy to fool.
"Yeah, I thought so too, but during the actual fight, who knows what deep hatred Chen Tianlong had with Cheng Hao. He fought desperately against him and even said he’d wipe out the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall. So, in a moment of anger, Senior Brother Cheng Hao fought back, but carelessly got hit by Chen Tianlong’s hidden weapon and was struck on the vital part by him." Hao Shuai continued to twist the story.
"Damn!"
The crowd swore angrily.
The disciples of Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall seemed eager to seek revenge on Chen Tianlong immediately. Shangguan Ba, on the other hand, was beside himself with rage, slapping a nearby chair into pieces in an instant.
"Hall Master, calm down. I heard Chen Tianlong is a disciple of the King of Assassins. Originally, we could have killed Chen Tianlong, but we didn’t anticipate that Chen Tianlong’s master, Ye Feng, would come to his rescue, leaving us powerless." Hao Shuai recounted truthfully.
"King of Assassins?"
At this, Shangguan Hong gasped. He knew Ye Feng’s strength; this person was no ordinary character. Chen Tianlong being his disciple made this somewhat tricky.
"Yes, and another expert who came that day was our Gang Leader Tang Xiao’s father, Yan Nanfei!"
"Hiss... Elder Yan appeared too?" Shangguan Ba inhaled sharply, truly not expecting these legendary figures to show up one after another. What exactly was happening?
"Alas, it seems the South Sea City is no longer peaceful." Shangguan Ba realized that something significant was about to happen; otherwise, Yan Nanfei, who had hidden for many years, would not have appeared.
As for the King of Assassins, there had been news in recent years, so Shangguan Ba wasn’t too surprised.
"So... Hall Master, should we not avenge Senior Brother Cheng Hao, given Chen Tianlong’s powerful background?" Hao Shuai deliberately provoked.
"Avenge, of course, we must avenge. Chen Tianlong has a background, haha... doesn’t the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall have one too?" Shangguan Ba sneered coldly, evidently deepening his hatred for Chen Tianlong.
However, at this moment, he didn’t see the need to let the background come forth. The experts of Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall had not yet been deployed. Since Yan Nanfei and Ye Feng have moved, then the older generation should also flex their muscles.
"Alright, let’s set this matter aside first. Once we’ve taken care of Cheng Hao’s funeral, we’ll make plans. This time, we must make Chen Tianlong pay with blood." Shangguan Ba declared.
"Yes, blood for blood, avenge Senior Brother." The junior brothers said in unison.
Meanwhile, Hao Shuai showed a sinister smile on his face. With Pure Yang stepping in next time, surely Chen Tianlong couldn’t escape?
As Shangguan Ba was about to leave, Hao Shuai suddenly approached him with an issue, and Shangguan Ba knew he didn’t want to speak in front of everyone, so he secretly invited him into a room.
"Young Master Hao, go ahead and say what’s on your mind." Shangguan Ba spoke directly, getting straight to the point.
"Hehe, the Hall Master is wise." Hao Shuai smiled faintly and continued, "That day, after Ye Feng left, I secretly followed, initially wanting to know Chen Tianlong’s movements to see if I could arrange another assassination. But coincidentally, I overheard a huge secret."
"Oh? What secret? Speak and let me hear." Shangguan Ba’s interest was evidently piqued.
"Wu Mengting is actually from the Shangguan Wu Family, and her physique is very special, something called the ’Sponge Physique’?" Hao Shuai didn’t quite understand, only hearing Ye Feng speak of it mysteriously.
