“Lei Meng Sha!?”
“You are Lei Meng Sha, one of the eight young masters of Bei Li, the eloquent and fiery one?!”
Si Kong Chang Feng exclaimed involuntarily upon hearing the name.
He had been wandering the martial world for years, and this name was a familiar thunderclap to his ears. The younger generation of Bei Li practically revered the eight young masters, and Si Kong Chang Feng had always admired them.
Hearing someone call out his nickname, Lei Meng Sha immediately stroked his bangs in a pretentious manner, with an air of arrogance: “Oh, nothing, nothing. It's just a small nickname, nothing to mention.”
“If you're willing, you can call me Master Zhuo Mo.”
“Er, sure, if you'd like, you can call me by my name directly.”
The first sentence was directed at Si Kong Chang Feng, while the second was a quick addition for Wen Nan Tian, who had just arrived. Lei Meng Sha had witnessed the entire process of Wen Nan Tian’s attack and knew how powerful he was.
“Yan Qian Sui, who meets death with the Yama, has thousands of years in his words. Then there’s the Needle-Picking Candle-Flame, the Hundred Foot No Living Needle Granny, all famous assassins in the martial world, yet they couldn’t even withstand a single encounter with this brother here.”
Lei Meng Sha looked at Wen Nan Tian with a burning gaze: “A single sword call, a thousand swords arrive. Truly the methods of a sword immortal. Exquisite and captivating, truly a sight to behold!”
“The famous Wen Hu Jiu of the Wen Family is renowned, but this brother, with all due respect, this is the first time I’ve seen him. May I have an introduction?”
“Wen Family, Wen Nan Tian.”
“Wen Nan Tian?”
Lei Meng Sha brainstormed for a moment, then slowly shook his head: “Forgive me, I’m lacking in knowledge.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll soon be familiar with this name.”
Wen Nan Tian was unfazed. As a newcomer to the martial world, he was naturally less renowned compared to someone like Lei Meng Sha, a new star in the martial world. But that was alright.
Soon, his name, Wen Nan Tian, would echo throughout Bei Li.
“Alright, I’ll wait and see.”
Lei Meng Sha nodded. He didn’t find Wen Nan Tian arrogant, but rather slightly humble. A teenager with sword immortal skills, if he couldn’t rise to fame and achieve great feats, then they, the so-called eight young masters of Bei Li, would have no face left.
Then, Lei Meng Sha turned to Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng: “Gentlemen, if you don’t mind, would you be willing to exchange some intelligence with me? I arrived late, and I’d like to know what news you’ve gathered in the city these past few days.”
“Exchange intelligence??”
Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng exchanged glances, feeling bewildered.
Wen Nan Tian twitched the corner of his mouth. He knew that Lei Meng Sha had misunderstood, but seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt that this guy was not only a chatterbox, but also a bit self-righteous.
Lei Meng Sha froze, then realized: “Since you know I’m Lei Meng Sha, you should know we’re on the same side. Didn’t Lao Qi tell you when he sent you here?”
“What Lao Qi? Who is that? We don’t know him!”
Bai Li Dong Jun was completely puzzled and responded decisively.
Seeing their genuine expressions, and having already revealed some things, Lei Meng Sha simply didn’t hide it anymore. He told them about Xiao Ruo Feng sending him to gather intel, and everything else.
However, the expected meeting with his comrades did not occur.
After listening to him, Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng were even more confused.
What intel about the Yan Family and Gu Family, what intelligence, what nonsense about Xiao Ruo Feng, did any of it have anything to do with them?
Slap!
Lei Meng Sha instantly covered his face. At this point, how could he not understand that he had made a blunder.
“So, you two aren’t spies?”
“Right.”
“You really are just running a wine shop?”
“Right.”
“So you’re the shopkeeper, and he’s the waiter?”
“Is there a problem?”
Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng both shrugged. What was there to be surprised about?
Hearing their answers and seeing Wen Nan Tian and Wen Hu Jiu holding back laughter, Lei Meng Sha helplessly rubbed his forehead: “I thought Lao Qi was really that powerful, that he even invited Grandmaster Level experts. Turns out it was all a misunderstanding!!”
“What a blunder, what a blunder! It’s all Lao Qi’s fault, he didn’t tell me clearly in advance, making me clueless about even my identity as a spy… ”
Listening to Lei Meng Sha’s embarrassed tone, his mouth constantly spewing out words, everyone present had a thought flash through their minds.
It’s true, there’s no such thing as a wrong nickname, only a wrong name.
One of the eight young masters of Bei Li, Zhuo Mo Duo Yan?
That Duo Yan, it must mean chatterbox, right?!
“I think, you should be thinking about how to deal with the guys who came with you, instead of dwelling on whether it was a misunderstanding or not.” Wen Nan Tian pointed to the figures outside Dong Gui Wine Shop, each holding torches and looking menacing.
The tranquility of Dragon Head Street was gone, replaced by a bustling crowd.
The leader’s white eyebrows were strikingly obvious even in the night.
“Huh? I think I’ve seen the leader before.”
Bai Li Dong Jun looked at the familiar figure in ornate robes, slightly stunned. This person was tall and imposing, just standing there emanated a commanding presence, once you’ve seen him, it’s hard to forget.
“Bai Mei Xiao Li?”
“And so many Yan Family assassins?”
Lei Meng Sha, who was about to show off, immediately retracted his half-extended foot. Bai Mei Xiao Li was a well-known Earthly Realm expert, dealing with him wouldn’t be difficult, but he was followed by at least dozens of assassins.
Even if he used his Lightning Strike Finger until all his fingers were useless, he wouldn’t be able to beat them.
Fortunately, though he couldn’t fight them, he had two powerful backers, so he wasn’t worried.
“You go or I go?”
Wen Hu Jiu took a long breath and looked at Wen Nan Tian. In Lei Meng Sha’s eyes, Bai Mei Xiao Li might be a big shot, but for him and his nephew, they were no different from the likes of Yan Qian Sui.
“Leave it to me, I can handle any opponent.”
Wen Nan Tian finished his tea and rose abruptly, walking towards the door. These Yan Family assassins were really annoying, like flies, they just kept coming after they were killed.
He was starting to think he should just go and wipe out the Yan Family.
“Wen… Nan Tian brother, are you sure?”
“Do you need help? I, Lei Meng Sha, might not be very strong, but I can still deal with some small fry.”
“Or, you go?”
Wen Nan Tian stepped aside, making way for him.
“Hehe, never mind, please go ahead.” Lei Meng Sha gave an awkward smile. He almost forgot that this person was incredibly powerful. Those people outside, though many, were no match for him.
He didn’t need help at all.
