Free Web NovelChapter 1677: Chapter 1679: Taking a Seat at the Table
Lu Xiaobu and his companions’ positioning shocked everyone present at the scene.
One must understand that you don’t stand just anywhere without purpose.
This is like a dinner gathering.
If you want to sit at the table, you have to bring tools and ingredients, and you must be prepared to endure being choked by smoke, or even be burnt to death.
If you just want to muddle through and eat some leftovers, then wait on the outskirts, and eat what’s left and unwanted, or fallen off the table.
Don’t even think about loafing off, as others at the table won’t allow someone who didn’t bring ingredients and doesn’t want to cook to brazenly eat the dishes they’ve prepared!
This is provocation!
Self-overestimating provocation!
"Have people inflated to this extent these days?" Fan Wenlong looked at Lu Xiaobu, a mocking curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Perhaps they think we’re fools, unable to see?" Lu Pu crossed his arms, sneering repeatedly.
Black Rider didn’t speak, merely glanced indifferently, but his eyes also contained disdain.
Even Black Rider had to call for some riffraff to help.
And you all, just four? Really capable!
"Young brother, this spot is not to stand randomly. I suggest you choose a group, like Black Rider’s, it belongs to the Loose Cultivation Alliance." Yun Hai maintained that benevolent demeanor: "Moreover, that spot is already occupied by Yiji Mansion’s people."
This is persuasion, also a warning.
Warning Lu Xiaobu and his companions that they have already occupied a nest!
"Yiji Mansion? They won’t come." Lu Xiaobu smiled faintly and said.
"What do you mean?!"
Yun Hai’s pupils suddenly shrank fiercely.
It should be understood that Mei Tingfeng’s power is arguably the strongest among these five families!
Strength is one thing, but whether hearts align is what truly matters!
The Loose Cultivation Alliance is full of scattered forces, and even within the God Slaying Alliance and the City Lord Mansion, hearts are not united.
Only in Yiji Mansion are the people slaves, slaves controlled over life and death!
Yet now, this person actually said Yiji Mansion’s people won’t come?
"Exactly as stated, I just ran into him, he said he’s tired and went to find a place to sleep." Lu Xiaobu beamed a radiant smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Yet, this smile sent chills down everyone’s spine!
Tired?!
Sleeping?!
That’s eternal sleep!
These four have wiped out Yiji Mansion’s people?
Shi Yi?! Was it him?!
Fan Wenlong’s mocking expression withdrew.
Lu Pu’s disdain vanished.
Black Rider’s indifference faded.
Yun Hai’s gentleness disappeared.
Their emotions were all replaced with disbelief!
They instinctively suspected this lad is lying, only to reveal the truth afterwards!
"Are you perhaps..." Fan Wenlong was about to question.
If he found a flaw, action would definitely be taken today!
Mocking them?
That’s courting death!
However.
"Wenlong, look closely!"
Yun Hai interrupted Fan Wenlong’s question with a wave of his hand, pointing towards Lu Xiaobu and his companions.
Fan Wenlong was puzzled, not understanding the implication.
But as he followed Yun Hai’s gaze, his pupils suddenly contracted!
He saw the collar on Shi Er’s neck!
This belongs to Yiji Mansion, or more accurately to Mei Tingfeng!
Obviously, Shi Er was formerly a slave, a slave of Mei Tingfeng!
But now he’s able to move freely?
Could it be...
Fan Wenlong’s heart was agitated by a storm!
He understood, if Mei Tingfeng were alive, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
Yet it has happened!
Meaning, Mei Tingfeng... is likely really dead!
Killed by these four, and completely wiped out, otherwise there would’ve been news by now.
Fan Wenlong noticed that Black Rider and Lu Pu obviously also realized this.
You could tell from the expressions on their faces.
Bitterness in their mouths.
Originally thought to be freeloaders, but turns out they aren’t human, rather bloodthirsty beasts!
No invitation? They simply ate a diner, making space!
Bitterness in everyone’s mouth.
"Young brother, very formidable, very formidable." Yun Hai sighed lightly.
The first formidable speaks to strength!
The second formidable speaks to courage!
Daring to kill Mei Tingfeng, knowing his identity, it’s true fearlessness!
"Can we discuss entering now?"
Lu Xiaobu interrupted their thoughts, speaking out.
"Of course."
Yun Hai eagerly accepted the task: "Everything inside is unknown, so we should enter with a cooperative attitude."
"Originally, Yiji Mansion was to lead the exploration, but now it seems, this task will be shared among our four families."
This last sentence was directed at Fan Wenlong and the others.
Fan Wenlong and the others didn’t object.
This is not just about Lu Xiaobu’s numbers, rather their overwhelming strength.
If they were sent to explore, who knows if they’d seize all benefits themselves!
Though exploration is dangerous, it’s a risk we must take now.
"And us? What are we assigned?" Lu Xiaobu smiled calmly, resembling a carefree soul.
"The four of you... four of you act as mobile agents, adapting to the circumstances." Yun Hai hesitated, deciding so.
He didn’t know Lu Xiaobu and his companions, not even Lu Xiaobu’s identity, so how to assign tasks?
Ah, the unexpected diners are the hardest to seat!
"No problem." Lu Xiaobu shrugged, embracing it.
"Alright! Let’s prepare to move!" Yun Hai was efficient.
Given the decision, hesitation changes nothing.
"Here is a transmission array, and upon activation, no one knows where it’ll lead, or if we’ll stay together, so everyone, be cautious! Remember, caution!"
Yun Hai repeated caution.
The second caution refers to being wary of Lu Xiaobu’s group.
These four could eliminate Yiji Mansion’s people, they might eliminate us too.
Fan Wenlong and the others clearly understood this, nodding quietly.
Lu Xiaobu obviously heard, yet maintained his smile.
"Alright, activate the transmission array, let’s go!"
Yun Hai said as he slapped the stone tablet ahead.
Quickly, the tablet gleamed brightly, and the people of the five forces vanished.
Soon, those waiting for scraps rushed after, but only three made it inside.
That’s the difference between dining at the table and waiting for leftovers!
