Chapter 1119: Teacher Takes Action
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The third floor was quiet and incompatible with the rest of the Myriad Immortals Building.
As soon as Wei Ting arrived at the aisle, he sensed a few unusual auras.
He continued to walk forward drunkenly.
After taking about seven or eight steps, he was stopped by an oncoming servant.
Wei Ting staggered and pretended to fall, b.u.mping into the servant.
The servant smelled the alcohol on him and suppressed his anger. “We don’t entertain guests here.”
Wei Ting looked like he could not stand steadily. He grabbed his arm and deliberately pressed his entire weight on it. The other party used his internal force to support him.
Indeed…
At this moment, a few identically dressed men came from behind the servant.
“What happened?” one of them asked.
Wei Ting recognized the other party’s voice. It was the a.s.sa.s.sin who had fought him previously.
The servant whose arm was hugged by Wei Ting turned around and said, “He’s drunk.”
Wei Ting pushed him away and staggered forward. “Miss Xiangning… I’m back…
The few of them tried to stop him.
Wei Ting started fighting with them.
In order to test their skills, he also used a trace of internal strength, but not much. Otherwise, it would easily arouse their vigilance.
Since the Myriad Immortals Building was their stronghold, they did not want to kill anyone. He was just a drunkard and they did not dare to be too ruthless.
The a.s.sa.s.sin who had fought Wei Ting advised, “Miss Xiangning isn’t here. You’ve come to the wrong place. I’ll send you there.”
Wei Ting pointed at a room at the east end and said, “Nonsense! Miss Xiangning is clearly in that room! Don’t… think about stopping me!” The two servants held him up and were about to drag him down.
Wei Ting broke free from the two of them and ran forward. He entered the room and asked for Xiang Ning when he saw anyone. He retaliated when he was caught.
In order to make it look real, he deliberately took a few punches.
The huge commotion caused the guests in the lobby to look toward the third floor.
Wei Ting continued his exaggerated acting without any regard for his image.
The four servants grabbed his arms and legs and carried him downstairs.
At this moment, Wei Ting suddenly heard the a.s.sa.s.sin say respectfully, “Fourth Master! ”
Fourth Master?
Could it be the Fourth Young Master that Sect Master Lu was talking about? That guy called Xiahou Yan? “What happened?”
Xiahou Yan asked coldly.
Without waiting for the a.s.sa.s.sin to answer, Wei Ting shouted, “Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this? My brother-in-law is the Minister of Revenue, Lord Liu!”
The Minister of Revenue, Liu Wei, was Xiao Shunyang’s trusted aide.
Wei Ting hedged that they had controlled the royal family for so long and had long investigated the forces of the princes.
As expected, after hearing that this drunkard was considered half one of his people, Xiahou Yan restrained his killing intent and waved his hand for his subordinates to carry him away.
When he brushed past Xiahou Yan, Wei Ting shouted at him openly, “Let go of me! Let go of me!”
Xiahou Yan couldn’t be bothered to look at him and walked over.
Wei Ting was carried back to Xiang Ning’s room.
Xiang Ning gave the few servants a reward. “Sorry for offending you. These are a token of my appreciation.”
Miss Xiang Ning seemed very satisfied with this man…
The servant, or rather the guards, weighed the money bag in their hands and went upstairs in satisfaction.
After that, there were a few rounds of drinking orders. Wei Ting and Wei Liulang drank until they “lay down”.
Ghostfear didn’t give them any face at all and continued to “punish” them to drink.
Wei Qing smiled. “It’s getting late. Miss Xiangning, it’s time to rest. We’ll take our leave first. I hope we can come back another day to meet Miss Xiangning.”
Xiang Ning only received guests for two hours. This was a rule that everyone had an unspoken mutual understanding.
Xiang Ning hesitated.
She wanted to break this rule tonight.
However, the guest had already spoken. If she made them stay, she would seem frivolous.
“Send the young masters off.”
Xiang Ning slowly stood up and bowed gently.
After Ghostfear and Wei Qing each helped a “drunk” leave, the maidservant went forward to clean up the wine table.
She asked, “Miss, among the four young masters, who do you like the most?”
Xiang Ning sat on the chaise longue and picked up her pipa to cover her face. She said softly, “The Young Master Chu and Young Master Li opposite are too cold and too distant.”
“What do you mean by distant?”
The maidservant did not understand.
Xiang Ning pondered and said, “I can’t put my finger on it.They were clearly smiling at me, but they made me feel distant and impossible to blaspheme.”
The maidservant continued, “Then… what about Young Master Su and Young
Master Xiao?”
“Young Master Su.”
Xiang Ning did not hesitate.
Young Master Xiao was too arrogant.
The brothers got into the carriage back.
Wei Ting did not know he could become the courtesan’s dream lover even in his “drunken” state.
He changed his drunken demeanor and sat up straight in the carriage.
Wei Qing asked, “How is it?”
Wei Ting said, “I saw Xiahou Yan.”
Wei Qing hurriedly said, “Did he do anything to you?”
Wei Ting shook his head. “No.”
If only Xiahou Yan had really done something to him. He would be able to more accurately test if Xiahou Yan had practiced the martial arts of the Fire Slaughter Sect.
Wei Ting said, “The people who have fought with me are not from the Fire Slaughter Sect.”
Wei Qing said, “How many of them are there?”
“Twenty ordinary guards.”
Wei Ting added, “Ordinary means about the same level of skills as the a.s.sa.s.sins that night.”
Wei Qing pondered and said, “That is not ordinary.”
The a.s.sa.s.sins that night were even more skilled than the puppet masters of the Saint Lady Temple.
Wei Ting continued, “Xiahou Yan still has four powerful followers. In addition, I saw a woman recuperating. She should be the a.s.sa.s.sin who broke into the
Wei family that Big Brother mentioned.”
Wei Qing said, “How powerful were the followers?”
Wei Ting paused. “Every one of them is almost as strong as Big Brother.” One death warrior king was already very terrifying, but the other party actually had four…
How heaven-defying was this faction?
Thousand Mountain Island indeed had the clout to control the royal families of the various countries.
Wei Ting continued, “But what I’m really worried about is not these people.”
Wei Liulang, who was originally lying on his two brothers’ legs to sober up, sat up when he heard this. “Could there be something more troublesome?”
“Yes,” Wei Ting said with a solemn expression. “At the west end, there was a room with a closed door. I could feel a great danger from inside just by looking from afar.”
Wei Qing frowned and said, “Looks like eradicating this dark force is more difficult than I imagined.”
Wei Liulang asked, “Are you really not going to consider sending troops to surround him?”
Wei Qing shook his head. “If they’re desperate and hurt innocent people, the gains won’t make up for the losses. Not only do we have to win, but we also have to win at the lowest price… It’s best to lure them out.”
“But how? Where?”
With that, Wei Liulang lay back on his two brothers’ legs.
Wei Ting narrowed his eyes. “I have a good place in mind.”
Wei Qing looked at him.
The two brothers said in unison, “The Peach Forest of the White Lotus Society!”
Wei Liulang’s eyes lit up. “That’s right. That place has mechanisms and miasma. It’s also a terrain taht is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the area is remote. We definitely won’t hurt innocent people!”
Wei Qing said, “The question now is, how do we lure them?”
Wei Ting said, “Find a bait.”
Wei Liulang suggested, “Xiao Shunyang?
Wei Qing rejected the idea. “He’s not important enough.”
Wei Liulang thought for a moment. “Jade-faced Rakshasa?”
Wei Qing said, ‘We can try, but the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance and the City Lord Manor are not at odds. Xiahou Yan will most likely let Jade-faced Rakshasa meet him at the Myriad Immortals Building.”
Wei Ting pondered and said, “Actually, with Xiahou Yan’s smarts, he shouldn’t fall for it easily unless the temptation is big enough for Xiahou Yan to have no choice but to walk towards the tiger mountain.”
Wei Liulang said, “How are we going to do this?” Ghostfear, who had been silent, said, “I have a candidate.”
“Who?” Wei Liulang asked curiously.
Ghostfear said, “Ling Yun.”
Wei Qing muttered, “Him?”
Ghostfear said seriously, “Believe me, his weight is definitely enough to lure Xiahou Yan out.”
“Let’s hurry up and find him!” Wei Liulang stopped pretending. Ghostfear snorted. “Go and look for him. I won’t go.”
He would never ask that guy for help!
Wei Liulang sighed. “Alright, alright. We’ll go in later. Big Brother, just wait in the car.”
Out of cautious consideration, the carriage circled the streets a few times. After confirming that no one was following it, it drove to Pear Blossom Lane.
It was late at night.
However, the lights in Ling Yun’s room were still on.
Wei Liulang asked, “Brother, are you really not going?”
Ghostfear hugged his Throat-sealing Sword and said coldly, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself and want to kill him.”
Wei Qing patted his two brothers on the shoulder. “Alright, let’s go down.”
The three of them got out of the carriage and knocked on the courtyard door.
Deng An came to open the door for them.
“You are…”
Because they had changed their appearances, Deng An did not recognize them immediately.
Wei Ting said, “It’s me.”
Deng An smiled in surprise. “Ah! It’s Young Master Wei!”
Deng An was the most familiar with Wei Ting’s voice. After all, they had lived in the same alley before.
Deng An looked at Wei Qing and Wei Liulang. “They…”
Wei Ting introduced patiently, “They’re my elder brothers, Second Brother and
Sixth Brother. You’ve seen them before.”
Deng An hurriedly said, “I’ve seen them before. Have they all changed their appearances? They’re really careful.”
Wei Ting did not mention the brothel to Deng An and asked if Ling Yun was around.
“Yes, he’s still awake. Come in.”
Deng An invited them into the courtyard.
Ghostfear sat quietly in the carriage and waited.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the young brats still did not come out.
Had Ling Yun disagreed?
Ghostfear was frowning.
Suddenly, a thin figure arrived in front of the carriage, lifted his curtain, and said angrily,
“I heard that you want to see me. I was told that you’ll die at my door if you can’t see me?
Ghostfear was speechless..
