Chapter 2755 - 2756: A Bunch of Clowns (Part 2)
Chapter 2755: Chapter 2756: A Bunch of Clowns (Part 2)
Old Liu’s eyes began to redden again, but this time it wasn’t from excitement, but from grievance.
"Then why can’t you suppress it now?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang: "..."
Then he became furious and raised his hand to hit Old Liu again. "Why do you have so many questions?"
Old Liu’s eyes became even redder.
Zhang Xiaoqiang glared at him, "Reddening again? Do you believe I’ll hit you again if you do?"
Old Liu, frightened, quickly covered his eyes, "Second brother, I didn’t do it on purpose, but I really can’t control it!"
Just then, they saw Xue An stand up and walk towards them.
At this point, everyone became nervous.
"Oh no, oh no, he’s coming. Could he be coming to settle accounts with us?" Old Five, who was tall and brawny, said anxiously.
Zhang Xiaoqiang said helplessly, "Old Five!"
"Hmm?"
"Could you first come out from behind me? If he really is coming to settle accounts with us, do you think you can hide like that?"
Old Five awkwardly straightened up and said somewhat bashfully, "I... I was just scared!"
As they spoke, Xue An already walked up to them.
The group quickly held their breath, not daring to show any disrespect.
Zhang Xiaoqiang even tried to appease him with a flattering smile.
But Xue An completely ignored them and went straight to Niu Dali, looking down at him.
At this moment, Niu Dali was sitting on the ground, and under Xue An’s gaze, he felt sweat on his forehead and his body trembling slightly.
"Are you the one that legend has it even the Saints of the ages can’t compare to, like a bright moon illuminating the ancient times, Niu Dali?"
"Not at all, not at all, just call me Little Niu!" Niu Dali said ingratiatingly.
Xue An smiled faintly, "What? Injured?"
"Uh... a bit, my back is aching!" Niu Dali said with a grimace.
"In that case, how about I relieve you?" Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly.
As soon as he said this, Niu Dali immediately bounced up from the ground like a spring, and said energetically,
"Hey, Sir, now that you mention it, the injury on my body seems to have healed!"
"Really healed?" Xue An said mildly.
Niu Dali patted his chest vigorously, "Healed without medicine!"
Just then, Old Liu poked his head out, full of confusion, and said, "Big brother, weren’t you just suppressing your injuries with Supreme Cultivation? What? Has the Supreme Cultivation returned? Then let’s quickly deal with this kid... mmh mmh mmh."
Zhang Xiaoqiang tightly covered Old Liu’s mouth, smiling flatteringly at Xue An, "Sir, this kid isn’t quite right in the head, he was squashed by a door when he was young, please don’t mind him!"
Xue An couldn’t be bothered with these fools and simply took out a shard of the Ancient Mirror.
"Have you seen this thing before?"
"Seen it! Isn’t this the thing Third Sister found?" Old Four, who had stopped the bleeding, came over and said very seriously.
"I mean, besides this one in her hand, have you seen it anywhere else?" Xue An asked.
The group looked at each other, then shook their heads, but soon Niu Dali piped up.
"This was found by Third Sister in the back mountain. Where there’s one piece, there’s likely another, so I think if we go back to look, we might have an unexpected discovery!"
After saying this, Niu Dali felt extremely clever.
If he directly admitted he hadn’t seen it, this young master might kill them all in a fit of anger.
But the excuse he found was perfect; it not only made him seem valuable but also allowed them a chance to slip back to Dragon Tiger Stronghold.
While Niu Dali was secretly celebrating his cleverness, he saw Xue An nod.
"Makes sense, then I’ll go back with you later to look for this thing!"
"Alright... huh?" Niu Dali was dumbfounded just as he was about to agree.
"What’s wrong? Any problems?"
"Ah... no... no, I just... just..."
"Just what?"
"Just thinking it’s a long journey, you don’t need to personally go with your Golden Body, do you!" Niu Dali racked his brain and finally came up with an excuse.
"How can that be? This is a major matter; if the master doesn’t go personally, he surely won’t rest assured!"
With these words, Sheng Hongqian gracefully walked over, also smiling at Xue An.
"Do you think I’m right?"
Xue An gave no definitive response.
He didn’t hold any prejudice against this charming woman but couldn’t say he admired her either.
What he just said about going to the Dragon Tiger Stronghold was not an idle statement.
Because this was clearly a lead.
As for whether Niu Dali and the others agreed or not...
Does it matter?
Niu Dali never thought his Third Sister would betray him at such a critical juncture to help Xue An, and he became anxious, constantly exchanging looks with Sheng Hongqian.
But Sheng Hongqian acted as if she didn’t see it, instead smiling charmingly at Xue An, her eyes filled with increasing admiration.
She had never met a man who fascinated her so much before.
Previously, Xu Gaotian had more than enough tyranny, but beyond that, he was useless.
The young man before her was different, calm and wise in action, and very powerful.
More importantly, his appearance was exactly Sheng Hongqian’s type.
So despite her fear, she remained like a moth to a flame, unwilling to leave Xue An.
Seeing this, Xue An barely perceptibly frowned but didn’t say anything. He just said to Niu Dali, "With your abilities, how could you deceive Shi Chang?"
Niu Dali shrunk his neck, smiling awkwardly, "The small one... the small one has a minor ability; it’s to correct people’s first impressions of me!"
"Oh? Rule Power?"
Niu Dali showed a bitter look, "It’s not really the Rule Power, just an insignificant little ability with many limitations."
"And so you deceived Shi Chang, who has the power of a Fourth Rank Great General, with this ability?" Xue An said.
"That’s not my fault; it’s because Shi Chang was guilty and afraid someone would harm him, so he was looking everywhere for a backer! By chance, he met me and mistakenly believed I was an unparalleled master; what can I do?"
"After all these years, he never doubted it?" Xue An was somewhat skeptical.
"Of course, he doubted, but that’s when the second one came into play!"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang gave an awkward laugh, rubbing his hands, "I... I have a minor ability too, which is to simulate the aura of an unparalleled master!"
Xue An: "..."
He suddenly felt a little sorry for Shi Chang, who in his desire to gain power early, didn’t hesitate to turn on his mentor and put so much effort into cultivating an evil plan through his own bloodline. All his scheming came to nothing.
In the end, he was spun around by a bunch of frauds and met his downfall in death.
"So why did you dare to attack me?" Xue An asked finally.
Niu Dali and Zhang Xiaoqiang exchanged glances, and then Niu Dali said rather embarrassedly,
"Do you know what it means to believe in your own con? That’s us; after so many years, we really believed we were unparalleled masters!"
"Especially since you looked so young, that’s why we dared to act, but in the end..."
