Chapter 129.1 Ptooey! You Nonsensical Geezer! (1/2)
Mo Sanshan remained dumbfounded during the entire conversation.
What am I hearing?Why do I feel a strong urge to beat Wang Ke up after hearing him talk?I feel like I’m losing control of my knuckles; they want to give him a good sandwich!
“Hall Lord Mo, you wanted Tong An’an and his fellow demons, and I readily agreed to surrender them without asking for a single dime! We are colleagues, so please, just help me give this message to her and talk her out of it; I’m sure this request is not too much for you, is it?” Wang Ke asked.
Mo Sanshan: “………………………!”
“Hall Lord Mo! This isn’t too difficult for you, right?” Wang Ke asked again.
Mo Sanshan’s face twitched. He asked, “It’s not difficult, but why not tell her yourself?”
“Aiya! I’ve already told you! I can’t bear to see women cry! My heart will turn to mush if she cries! That’s why I can only ask for your kind help!” Wang Ke urged.
“Okay, okay then!” Mo Sanshan finally agreed after a short silence.
“Thank you so much! Hall Lord Mo, I was wrong about you; I didn’t expect you to be such an amiable person!” Wang Ke said with a tone laced with awe.
Mo Sanshan was silent once again.
“Zhang Zhengdao, what are you still standing there for? Quick, bring Tong An’an and his men out and hand them over to Hall Lord Mo!” Wang Ke shouted.
Since they were finally out of the woods, there was no need for Zhang Zhengdao to be by his side for the moment.
Zhang Zhengdao was on the verge of vomiting after Wang Ke’s shameless blabber. Dang! He asked me to leave?Thank heavens!
“Right away! Please wait for me!” Zhang Zhengdao ran into the bedroom as if seeking refuge.
“Hall Lord Mo, since we’ve already reached an agreement, could you wake up my subordinates? Oh yes, please let the Golden Crow Sect disciples sleep a while longer, or else they may raise a ruckus again!” Wang Ke requested.
“For sure!’ Mo Sanshan nodded.
The latter waved a hand—
“Whoosh!”
A refreshing breeze swept throughout the Gongyi Teahouse. Many who had been on duty that night woke up all of a sudden. At the same time—the teahouse’s shopkeeper went to see Wang Ke.
“Clan Lord? This is…?” the shopkeeper asked worriedly.
“Gongyi Teahouse is no longer safe. Tell everyone to evacuate this place by dawn!” Wang Ke instructed.
“Understood!” the shopkeeper acknowledged respectfully.
“As for recruiting Innate Stage fighters and the sales of insurance plans, I’ve already shown you the ropes. Continue this activity in the Zhu Cultivation Town. All those who are hesitating know you anyway; you just have to close the deals!” Wang Ke continued instructing.
“Understood!” the shopkeeper acknowledged.
“Go ahead!” Wang Ke waved his hands.
The shopkeeper left. Meanwhile—Mo Sanshan was rather astonished by what he saw.
“Sigh, Hall Lord Mo, surely you know that many things will be affected once a woman starts to cause trouble. You’re an Astral Infant cultivator; you can simply step away and leave. My subordinates, on the other hand, will be in a whole lot of trouble if they stay! I need to let them hide! I’m the one who drew trouble their way; I can’t let them bear the consequences, can’t I?” Wang Ke explained with a smile.
“Very thoughtful of you!” Mo Sanshan complimented.
“It comes with a little experience in life; it’s nothing. Come, let us sit and chat for a while!” said the smiling host.
A few employees carried a table and chairs for the two of them.
Mo Sanshan sat down awkwardly, then the following that happened before his eyes was extremely peculiar.
He saw Gongyi Teahouse’s employees go about moving the business, with a speed that made his jaw drop. One carried a bed while the other carried the pots; another person packed all the remaining toilet rolls from every bathroom.
Wang Ke and Mo Sanshan chatted casually. The entire teahouse was emptied shortly afterward.
It had indeed been emptied out. Mo Sanshan scanned the entire place with his mind and realized that the only things left were the walls.
“Your subordinates are really… Really…!” Mo Sanshan said with his face twitching.
“I taught them to be thrifty since they were young. They are only so-so; you don’t have to praise them!” Wang Ke said with a smile.
Mo Sanshan had a doubtful look on his face. Which eye of yours sees me as praising them for being thrifty?I’m looking down on them for their pettiness.
“Hall Lord Mo, I brought them all. Take a look!” Zhang Zhengdao dragged Tong An’an and his men out of the bedroom.
The eleven prisoners were still unconscious, charred black with swollen and red heads.
“They..?” Mo Sanshan was confused about the situation.
They are all Golden Core cultivators? Eleven of them! What did they go through to become this miserable?
“Oh, it’s all right; they seem to be suffering from concussions. They should be fine after some rest. Worry not, they are still alive! Should I help you to tie them up?” Wang Ke asked.
Mo Sanshan: “………………………!”
“What are you standing there for? Come and help tie them up so Hall Lord Mo can carry them easily!” Wang Ke urged.
Zhang Zhengdao rolled his eyes and muttered, “Damn, why am I the one who’s doing all this?”
Despite his complaints, he still did as told.
Wang Ke’s men had finished moving everything in the teahouse and evacuated the place by then.
Only some people remained; Wang Ke, Zhang Zhengdao, Mo Sanshan with the prisoners, plus the sleeping Golden Crow Sect disciples and their cranes.
Wang Ke got up and cupped his fists courteously. “Hall Lord Mo, Zhang Li’er will be arriving soon after the day begins; please help me talk to her. Zhang Zhengdao and I will be taking our leave first!”
“Where are you going?’ Mo Sanshan asked with a frown.
“I’ll be returning to the Heavenly Wolf Sect, of course! I shall leave this place to you!” Wang Ke said in a serious tone.
“Hall Lord Mo, see you!” Zhang Zhengdao said, cupping his fists as well.
Mo Sanshan looked at the two of them, and he finally nodded.
“Let’s go, quick!” Wang Ke pulled at Zhang Zhengdao, and they dashed out of the teahouse.
The two of them disappeared from the Zhu Cultivation Town in a flash.
Mo Sanshan sipped his tea with a frown, while he sat at the table prepared for him.
“Why? Why do I have a strong feeling that something is off? Why?” Mo Sanshan drank his tea, feeling puzzled.
He turned and looked at Tong An’an and his men tied up like rice dumplings, then he felt more at ease.
“It’s just that, passing a message! A simple task. Then take Tong An’an and his men back without much effort, isn’t that what I hoped for?” Mo Sanshan continued drinking his tea and waited for dawn.
“Wang Ke, do you think something bad will happen?” Zhang Zhengdao felt worried.
“What can go wrong? I’m already out of town. What’s there to be afraid of!” Wang Ke replied frankly.
“But, will Zhang Li’er listen to Mo Sanshan’s explanation when she arrives?” Zhang Zhengdao asked curiously.
“That has nothing to do with me!” Wang Ke replied with a stare.
“Uhh!”
Zhang Zhengdao’s face froze. Damn, you’re right! You already shoved the problem to Mo Sanshan; of course you’ll be fine!
“Oh yeah! I asked you to bring out Tong An’an and his demons, but what did you do to Zhang Shenxu?” Wang Ke asked.
“Zhang Shenxu? You didn’t ask me to take him out! He’s still sleeping in the secret chamber!” said the other.
“Still sleeping? Forget it. Let him rest; he’ll leave the place once he wakes up!” Wang Ke said indifferently.
“Are we really going back to the Heavenly Wolf Sect now?” Zhang Zhengdao asked.
“Who said that?” Wang Ke asked.
“Didn’t you tell that to Mo Sanshan?” Zhang Zhengdao answered, feeling strange.
Wang Ke explained outright, “That old guy has no good intentions! How can I go back to the Heavenly Wolf Sect? What if he can’t deal with Zhang Li’er and then she goes to our sect to make trouble for me? I will only go back to our sect when my Revered Teacher does!”
“Not going back? Where are we going then?” Zhang Zhengdao continued to ask.
“Oh, that! Aside from the Zhu Cultivation Town, I still need to recruit Innate Stage fighters and sell insurance plans in other cultivation towns! I’ve already given the instructions earlier. Ready to go to the major cultivation towns and make some money with insurance sales?” Wang Ke suggested.
“Career and family balance? And convince cultivators to buy insurance plans for war? If I head to the major cultivation towns, what about you?” Zhang Zhengdao asked further.
