After Hui Xi Jun's carriage left, a group of people in white cloaks and masks appeared on the streets of Chai Sang City. They were all walking on foot, with only four people carrying a sedan chair following the main group.
A person in white cloaks and mask was sitting on the sedan chair, gently fanning himself. The white cloaks were much more luxurious than the others, embroidered with a dragon, winding from the cuffs to the throat.
Wen Nan Tian clicked his tongue: "Quite the style, huh?"
Wen Hu Jiu took a swig of wine, sneering at the people in white: "White Dragon Gang. They are the most unruly sect in this Southwest Province. For years, neither the Gu family nor the Yan family dared to easily offend them. Although the White Dragon Gang is not as powerful as them, they are in the business of killing. When it comes to ruthless tactics, they are the best in the Southwest Province."
“Murder and robbery?”
“Something like that. Anyway, they are not easy to deal with in the Southwest Province.”
Wen Hu Jiu deliberately said "Southwest Province" to tell Wen Nan Tian that these people were no real threat to him, merely a braggart.
Hui Xi Jun wasn't really a threat either, but he had the Imperial Court's favor, so it would be easy to offend the court by harming him. That's why Wen Hu Jiu had reminded him earlier.
With Wen Nan Tian's current strength, an existence that ordinary people would find hard to confront, he was no longer a concern.
“Are they really that hard to deal with?” Bai Li Dong Jun asked innocently.
He didn't really care much about Hui Xi Jun earlier. In terms of status, the Marquis of the West was not inferior to anyone in the court, but this kind of gang from the martial world, according to his uncle Wen Hu Jiu, was more or less like an assassin organization. He had been more cautious.
“For you, they are very difficult to deal with.”
“What about my cousin?”
Wen Hu Jiu, hearing this, did not answer, but looked at Wen Nan Tian.
Wen Nan Tian shrugged: "Then you have to ask the leader of the White Dragon Gang, how many Xiao Yao Tian Jing can he call upon? If it's more than twenty, then they are considered moderately difficult to deal with!"
“Twenty Xiao Yao Tian Jing??”
Bai Li Dong Jun was stunned. He was no longer a complete novice. He knew what twenty Xiao Yao Tian Jing meant: "Wouldn't that be almost all the top experts in the entire Southwest Province combined?"
“He he, then you're underestimating the heroes of the world.”
“Not to mention the distant ones, today there are almost twenty Xiao Yao Tian Jing in Chai Sang City!”
Wen Nan Tian looked toward the direction of the Gu family with deep eyes. The various families of the Southwest Province, the righteous sects, and the various factions of the three religions and nine schools, had at least ten Xiao Yao Tian Jing, if not more.
“So, Cousin, are you still going?”
Bai Li Dong Jun advised worriedly: "Should we just forget it and go back to pay a visit another day?"
“Are you afraid?”
“A little.”
Bai Li Dong Jun couldn't say he wasn't scared. He wasn't the same reckless youth he used to be.
“Don't worry, you and your second uncle are just going as guests. I'm the one who will be doing the fighting. You just need to watch. Watch me take down Yan Bie Tian and avenge you, watch me conquer the entire Southwest Province and become famous throughout the world." Wen Nan Tian smiled slightly, his spirit soaring.
“Cou…”
Bai Li Dong Jun was about to persuade him further, but Wen Hu Jiu stopped him.
He looked at Bai Li Dong Jun with a serious face and said, "You, just watch, just learn. Leave the rest to your cousin.”
Since leaving the East Returning Inn, Wen Hu Jiu had noticed that Wen Nan Tian was walking step by step, his sword intent and murderous aura radiating throughout his body. However, as he got closer, they were gradually suppressed.
He didn't think it was because Wen Nan Tian didn't want to fight.
There was only one possibility: he was accumulating belief and momentum.
“Your cousin's belief is ascending, he is accumulating the belief of his invincibility. Your words may not shake his will, but they will have some impact. So, just watch!” Wen Hu Jiu's voice rang in Bai Li Dong Jun's ears. This was a secret communication technique, obviously he was also afraid of affecting Wen Nan Tian.
Bai Li Dong Jun looked at Wen Nan Tian's light steps, his eyes filled with realization.
…
Chai Sang City, Gu Mansion.
The head of the Gu family had died mysteriously in a foreign land. The news that came back was that he had suddenly contracted a serious illness, but his body was not sent back. However, just a few days after the Gu Mansion held the mourning ceremony, it was suddenly decorated with red again.
“Congratulations, Third Master Gu. Congratulations.”
“Joyful occasion, joyful occasion.”
A middle-aged, short, and plump man sat at the door, greeting the guests with a smile. He waved to the guests as he repeated these two sentences over and over again.
“Now that the Gu family and the Yan family have joined forces, the Gu family will surely prosper even more than they are now. Third Master, please don't be too sad.” The guest patted him lightly on the shoulder and then walked towards the inner room.
Other guests also followed suit, but their true thoughts were unknown.
This man, called Third Master Gu, was the actual person in charge of the Gu Mansion. The other master, Fifth Master Gu, was not present. He was hidden among the crowd, maintaining the absolute safety of the Gu Mansion today.
After all, the marriage between the Yan and Gu families was the biggest event in the Southwest Province in recent years.
Gu Mansion's backyard.
Gu Jian Men, dressed in red after careful grooming, was wiping his Moon Snow Sword. The death of his brother, Gu Luo Li, was not just the work of Yan Bie Tian. There was also a traitor from within their Gu family.
He couldn't kill Yan Bie Tian, but he wouldn't spare the internal traitors of the Gu family.
“Master, Mu Yu Xing of the Yan family has arrived!”
Li Su Li rushed in to report.
Gu Jian Men looked up sharply upon hearing this: “How many people came?”
Li Su Li’s expression was heavy: “Many, many. It’s like the Yan family’s leader brought his entire family. The Gu Mansion entrance is full of Yan family soldiers.”
“As expected…!”
Gu Jian Men was not surprised at all. Yan Bie Tian's intention to swallow the Gu family was clear. Marriage was a pretense, swallowing the Gu family was his real purpose, so he wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
But…
Man plans, but Heaven laughs.
“Where is Wen Nan Tian now?”
“Replying to Master, our people have been keeping an eye on him, and he is also here now.”
“That’s good!”
Gu Jian Men’s heart relaxed a little.
…
At this time, outside the Gu Mansion.
A luxurious carriage slowly stopped, and a tall and sturdy young man stepped out.
Wen Nan Tian, who arrived at the Gu Mansion at the auspicious hour, looked at the scene at the gate and murmured.
“Yan Bie Tian.”
“That’s Yan Bie Tian?”
Bai Li Dong Jun looked curiously at the man.
The man was wearing a luxurious robe with expensive jade embedded on it. He had a huge sword hanging from his waist, his eyes were sharp and revealed a ruthlessness.
As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, the noisy Gu Mansion gate fell silent in an instant.
“Yan Bie Tian is the third son of the Yan family. When he was nineteen, the eldest son who was supposed to inherit the Yan family suddenly drowned. When he was twenty-one, the second son was killed by an enemy. When he was twenty-six, his father also died.”
“Therefore, Yan Bie Tian became the youngest head of the Yan family in the last three generations.”
“These things seem to be coincidences, but in the eyes of most people, they are too coincidental. Yan Bie Tian is decisive in his actions and has great talent. If not for the Gu family’s outstanding Gu Luo Li, the position of the first family in the Southwest Province would have been his long ago.”
Wen Hu Jiu explained from the side.
Knowing that his nephew was going to deal with Yan Bie Tian, he naturally had to understand his enemy's background in advance.
