Chapter 573 - 630 Fatty and Skinny Thuoduo
Chapter Six Hundred Thirty
Who is Long Xiaoshan?
Exceptionally intelligent and worldly, he would never fail to see when something was amiss.
If someone like Nie Qi, a lady from a prestigious family, were to deliberately seduce him, there was definitely a reason. As for what that reason was, Long Xiaoshan did not need to know, as long as he understood that Nie Qi surely had an ulterior motive.
Perhaps an ordinary person, even knowing that Nie Qi had other intentions, would not pass up the opportunity of being favored by a princess from the Nie Family. They would go with the flow and turn the play-acting into reality.
But who is Long Xiaoshan?
A Martial Dao Tongxuan, a practitioner of divination and spirituality, and even more so with a Divine Body. He did not lack money; he had the Dragon Spirit Company, Longling Pharmaceuticals, Bai’s Medicinal Materials, and many other profitable businesses. As for influence, he was the Dragon Head of Hechuan City, and he had just recently brought the Serpent Witch Sect under his control, becoming the actual ruler of the most powerful faction in Myanmar.
Not just a junior of the Nie Family, but even if the Family Head himself stood before him, he would not show the slightest bit of fear.
As for women, there were even more beautiful women by his side...
So he had no interest in Nie Qi’s offer, especially not from a woman with impure motives.
Long Xiaoshan stood up and said with a light smile, "Since you can’t walk, I think it’s better not to go. The mountain path is rugged, and it’ll be difficult to navigate from here on out."
Nie Qi showed an anxious look and said, "How can I not go? It’s not easy to have this chance to witness a duel between masters. I must not miss this opportunity. Mr. Long, please help me."
Nie Qi put on a pitiable face, as if she was just short of asking directly to be carried on his back.
Long Xiaoshan found it quite amusing.
Just now at the foot of the mountain, he had heard Nie Qi’s disdain for Martial Artists from far away, saying how even a master could be easily killed by gunfire. Yet now, she seemed extremely enthusiastic and eager for the duel.
He became even more convinced that there was something off about Nie Qi.
He said, "Sure, since Miss Nie is so keen to go, I’m sure there are plenty of people here willing to carry you. Just now, Young Master Wu seemed very eager to do so."
Nie Qi’s coquettish smile instantly froze, her expression becoming as stiff as could be.
She had been so obviously hinting, and she believed that even if Long Xiaoshan were a fool, he would understand her meaning. Yet Long Xiaoshan was pretending to be oblivious, suggesting someone else carry her. Wasn’t this a rejection?
She, Nie Qi, had taken the initiative to show goodwill to a man and had been rejected.
It was simply unimaginable.
At that moment, Nie Qi was filled with a mix of embarrassment and anger.
Wu Tianhao saw his chance; Long Xiaoshan had actually rejected Nie Qi. Was this guy out of his mind, rejecting the favor of the Nie Family princess? But at the moment, he could not be happier. He quickly stepped forward to ingratiate himself beside Nie Qi, "Princess Qi, let me carry you!"
Nie Qi stood up from the ground abruptly and said coldly to Wu Tianhao, "Scram!"
After saying that, she no longer feigned a foot injury. Glaring at Long Xiaoshan with resentful eyes, she walked back to Nie Hongxue’s side.
She had taken the initiative to be friendly and been rejected. With her personality, how could she accept that? It was even less likely for her to continue the pretense. She, Nie Qi, could not stand such humiliation. Seeing Nie Qi fail at seduction, Nie Hongxue was also face full of astonishment.
With Nie Qi’s personality, if one attempt at seduction failed, she would never try a second time.
So this path was definitely no longer viable.
He just couldn’t believe that Long Xiaoshan would actually reject Nie Qi, which was totally unexpected. Could it be that he didn’t know about the Nie Family? Impossible; even if Xiaoshan was not from Yunkun, he should have heard of the Nie Family, whose influence extends beyond Yunkun into the entire southwest.
This made Nie Hongxue really puzzled.
Nie Qi’s failed attempt at seduction made Long Xiaoshan and this group of rich heirs seem even more out of place.
Although Xiaoshan had refused Nie Qi, with Wu Tianhao berated by her, he obviously would not be grateful to Xiaoshan.
If not for the fact that Xiaoshan’s two subordinates were incredibly capable and strong, Wu Tianhao might have already asked them to leave.
But even though they hadn’t split up, it was clear that two factions had formed, with barely any interaction between them. They just kept on moving. Xiaoshan, on the other hand, was happy with the quiet; he didn’t care whether he had offended the Nie Family or these rich heirs from Yunkun.
Right now, the most important thing for him was his duel with Qiu Zhen.
If he had known the location of Du Long Mountain, he wouldn’t have joined these people in the first place.
After walking for two to three hours and crossing over another mountain, an elder in yellow pointed to a large mountain and said, "That there is Du Long Mountain."
Long Xiaoshan immediately looked in that direction.
He saw a steep mountain rising among the ranges, its peak resembling the shape of a dragon’s head, surrounded by misty white clouds. The sight of Du Long Mountain quickened everyone’s pace, and after walking for another half an hour, they finally reached the foot of Du Long Mountain.
These heirs of wealthy families were now extremely tired.
All of them rested on the stones at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, Xiaoshan’s gaze shifted, and he looked in a certain direction. After a while, a roaring sound came from the forest, and two figures leaped between the trees, rushing towards the foot of Du Long Mountain and appearing in front of the group of affluent young masters.
One was tall and slim, the other stocky and fat; both were dressed as monks.
Upon their appearance, they immediately started scrutinizing the group of rich heirs.
"Tsk tsk, where did all these soft-skinned kids come from? They’ve actually run to Du Long Mountain to join the excitement," the skinny monk said with a raspy voice.
The fat monk let out a strange laugh, his eyes wandering over the women, revealing a hint of greed, "These little girls are quite pretty; they would do well to serve as disciples to someone of my standing."
"Where are these wild monks from? Do you know who we are?" The group of rich heirs, seeing the monks speak so rudely, was quite furious.
Unexpectedly, the elder in yellow suddenly changed his expression as if he had thought of something, and hastily said, "Shut your mouths, all of you!"
The elder in yellow quickly walked up to the two monks, bowing so deeply he was nearly touching the ground, and said, "Please forgive us, Grandmasters. We are the juniors of the Guanghai Huang Family; they are just commoners who don’t know of your esteemed names. For any offense to the Grandmasters, we beg for your forgiveness."
"You, a mere Huang Level Martial Artist, dare to address us in such a manner," chortled the fat monk, his body suddenly writhing. The elder in yellow hurriedly reached out to stop him, but before he could get close, he was struck by an invisible force in the chest and sent flying, blood spurting from his mouth. The fat monk landed amongst the group of wealthy heirs, swiftly grabbing two young women, one of whom was Nie Qi.
"Stop!"
Nie Hongxue, seeing the ferocious attack by the fat monk, quickly aimed her gun at them and fired a shot.
The fat monk swayed his body and dodged the bullet. His face distorted with rage, and he lunged toward Nie Hongxue.
What do you think?
