Chapter 97 Our Whole Family Went
Chapter 97 Our Whole Family Went
Inside the main hall of Shangqing Temple, people were making their own comments.
Ultimately, their attention fell on Daoist Tianxu.
Master Tianxu remained silent for a moment.
"According to what you've said, those two envoys possess unfathomable martial arts skills, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. We would have to mobilize the entire martial arts world to attack them en masse to have any chance of victory!"
Lady Gao frowned.
"Those two were extremely well-hidden; we had no idea where they were going!"
Master Tianxu smiled.
"Actually, we don't need to deliberately track their movements; they'll show themselves on their own!"
Before Lady Gao could react, An Fengri suddenly said, "Master Tianxu means those two will definitely come to distribute the tokens!"
"We don't need to go looking for them; they'll come to us on their own. All we need to do is get ready here!"
The others' eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Only Shi Qing and Min Rou frowned.
Shi Qing said in a deep voice, "Once we ambush and kill them, doesn't that mean there's no turning back?"
Upon hearing the sound, Chief Liu tapped on the table.
"If we don't ambush them, they'll send us to Xia Ke Island!"
"Who knows what's on that island? If we go there, we might not come back!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Shi Zhongyu.
"Chief Shi, you've accepted the token, does that mean you intend to go to Hero Island?"
Shi Zhongyu sat quietly in his seat, listening attentively. This Chief Liu was still able to ask him questions.
After a moment's thought, he said softly, "To be honest, I really want to go to Xia Ke Island! To see what's so special about that place that it can retain so many sect leaders!"
Upon hearing this, Chief Liu and the others were stunned.
Madam Gao frowned and said, "Chief Shi, you're still too young. How could you be curious about that place!"
Everyone sitting in the lobby is a seasoned veteran.
Only Shi Zhongyu is a young man.
Therefore, they simply believed that Shi Zhongyu was curious about Xia Ke Dao.
Shi Zhongyu chuckled and said, "I am indeed curious about that place. Even without the token, I would still like to go and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt rather helpless.
"Chief Shi, I heard you went to Chief You's place and witnessed firsthand how Chief You was killed by the two envoys from Xia Ke Island?"
Shi Zhongyu's whereabouts were not concealed, especially in places where Zhang San and Li Si frequented.
They paid extra attention to it.
However, they did not know the specifics of the situation, only that the leader of the Chang Le Gang had appeared with You Desheng.
The final result was that Chief Shi received the token and was not killed, while You Desheng's gang was wiped out.
Shi Zhongyu nodded.
"Those two's martial arts skills are indeed as unfathomable as you say!"
"Not only that, Chief You also poisoned the two of them, yet neither of them showed any ill effects!"
"They don't seem afraid of being poisoned!"
The news revealed by Shi Zhongyu immediately dispelled the ideas of some people.
Chief Liu shook his head.
"Poisoning them is not our righteous way of doing things. It's in accordance with the code of the martial arts world for us to join forces against them. Let's leave the poisoning behind!"
Shi Zhongyu glanced at Chief Liu.
hypocritical.
"So how should we deal with them? Should we just wait for them to come and then attack them all at once?"
Lady Gao frowned.
"There needs to be some kind of rule, right?"
The group discussed how to proceed.
Shi Zhongyu thought for a moment and then suddenly spoke.
"Since you're planning to work together, why don't you just invite them over!"
Master Tianxu asked doubtfully, "Invite them over? If they know we're lying in ambush here, will they still come?"
Shi Zhongyu said with a smile, "Everyone who has received the token and those waiting to receive their tokens are all here. Do you think they won't come over?"
"Furthermore, we invited them over and directly told them we wanted to spar with them!"
"If they lose, wouldn't they be exempt from going to Xia Ke Island?"
Chief Liu asked suspiciously, "What if we lose?"
Shi Zhongyu spread his hands.
"A bet's a bet!"
"We lost, so we'll go to Xia Ke Island!"
Chief Liu snorted coldly.
"You make it sound so easy. We're not going to Xia Ke Island to enjoy a peaceful life; we're going to our deaths!"
Shi Zhongyu smiled indifferently.
"Then what should we do? Why don't Chief Liu step down and find someone else to be the chief of your Jiangnan Water Village?"
"Heh, Chief Shi, how about I step down and let you take over?"
Shi Zhongyu took out the token.
"I'd like to, but unfortunately I've already got the token!"
Chief Liu pursed his lips, but his mind was racing.
Upon noticing this, Shi Zhongyu reminded him, "Chief Liu, don't think you can just pick anyone to be the chief of your Jiangnan Water Village!"
"Everyone who becomes a chieftain is a master of martial arts!"
"If just an ordinary person were to become the chieftain of your water village, do you think the two envoys would be furious?"
Chief Liu's expression changed slightly.
What he was thinking was that once he got back, he would just find someone from the village to be the village chief and help him get through this ordeal.
Shi Zhongyu's words shattered his illusion.
If it were just an ordinary person, wouldn't other gangs and sects have already done the same thing?
Shi Zhongyu's words not only reminded Chief Liu, but also those with ulterior motives.
"Hehe, Chief Shi is joking!"
Chief Liu bowed respectfully.
"I, Liu, am not some coward who fears death!"
"It's just a trip to Xia Ke Island, right? If we lose, we'll just have to accept the consequences!"
The others nodded in agreement, thinking that they were the same kind of people.
Shi Zhongyu smiled.
"In that case, let's agree to this!"
"Everyone, mobilize your disciples and tell the two envoys directly that everyone who received the tokens will be waiting for them here!"
Daoist Tianxu nodded slightly.
"I'll have my disciples spread this news right away!"
Lady Gao nodded.
"We are the same."
After everyone finished discussing the matter, they went about their respective tasks.
Everyone moved very nimbly.
Sitting in the main seat, Daoist Tianxu looked at Shi Zhongyu, who remained motionless, and couldn't help but ask, "Chief Shi, aren't you going to mobilize your gang's disciples?"
"Master, this number is enough!"
As Shi Zhongyu spoke, he took the initiative to bow.
Then, he stood up and looked at Shi Qing and Min Rou.
"Father, Mother!"
Min Rou quickly stepped forward to Shi Zhongyu's side and grabbed his arm.
"Didn't you say you had a way to resolve the token issue?"
"Why did you still accept the license?"
As she spoke, she grabbed the sign directly into her hand.
"You can't go to Xia Ke Island, so I'll go in your place!"
Shi Qing, who was standing to the side, was even faster and took it directly from Min Rou's hand.
"None of you need to go, I'll go!"
Shi Zhongyu was deeply moved; this was what it meant to be a parent.
Now everyone thinks that once you go to Xia Ke Dao (侠客岛), you can't come back.
However, Shi Qingmin was willing to do this for Shi Zhongyu.
Shi Zhongyu remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"Father, Mother, we don't need to go alone, we can go together!"
Shi Qing and Min Rou stared at Shi Zhongyu in astonishment, wondering if their son had gone mad.
One person can die, why drag the whole family down with them?
