Chapter 235: Chapter 122 Chen Jie: Feng San, I gave you a chance, but you’re of no use ah_4
The old beggar approached and said, “Guild Leader Liu, we’ve been eagerly awaiting your arrival.”
Elder Liu replied, “You know, I’ve always said that your Beggar Sect is no ordinary organization. As expected, you’ve soared to great heights.”
As he spoke, Elder Liu leaned close to the old beggar and whispered, “About that matter we discussed, I agree. Once it’s settled, we’ll split the Fishing Guild’s territory fifty-fifty.”
“Whatever Guild Leader Liu decides.”
Elder Liu chuckled and said, “Well, today we’ll see your performance. Of course, regardless of win or lose, it won’t affect our cooperation.”
Elder Liu patted the old beggar. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel{f}ire.net
The old beggar said, “Hehe, thank you for your high regard, Guild Leader Liu. Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems; our Beggar Sect is sure to win this gamble fight.”
“That’s good, that’s good, hahaha…”
As he spoke, Elder Liu ascended the high platform and glanced at Nan Batian, snorting disdainfully.
At that moment, Zhou Peng approached and asked, “Old Leader, what did Elder Liu say?”
“He agreed to the joint attack on the Fishing Guild’s plan. We’ll split the territory fifty-fifty afterward,” replied the old beggar.
Zhou Peng frowned and said, “Fifty-fifty? Is Elder Liu really that sincere?”
The old beggar snorted, “That fifty percent is earned by the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms. He’s probably counting on me to take down Nan Batian.”
“Nan Batian isn’t easy to take down though.”
“Depends on who’s doing it. Besides, how could Elder Liu not help me? I helped him become the biggest gang in Mianshui!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng said, “Hmm, but, Old Leader, we must be cautious when dealing with Elder Liu. He’s not the easy sort.”
“Yes, I know. Enough, don’t think about this now. What you need to focus on is how we are going to win this battle.”
Zhou Peng immediately acknowledged the discussion.
Just then, there was suddenly a commotion amongst the crowd.
“Look, someone else is coming!”
“My heavens, it’s them!”
At this noise, everyone turned to look in the direction of the voices, then saw a group of women approaching.
In the center was a flower-adorned carriage, surrounded by dozens of maids.
The maids carried petals in their hands, scattering them as they walked.
Leading them was a tall woman carrying a sign that read “Yihong House.”
Chen Jie, seeing this, couldn’t help but think of a term: product placement!
This move by Yihong House maximized advertising effect, smartly targeting the wealthy of Jianghu who could afford their services, thus planning a grand entrance.
The carriage slowly came to a stop, and the eyes of the martial artists present widened, as the two main Oirans of Yihong House, Zhiqiu and Dongxue, alighted.
But they weren’t the main attraction; they bowed and slowly opened the carriage curtains.
Then, a veiled, graceful woman descended from the carriage.
Despite the dark veil covering her face, her presence enchanted everyone.
Her allure surpassed the two Oirans by far, making them seem like mere maids in comparison.
Standing atop the carriage, the woman looked radiant.
As he was making preparations, Zhou Chu nudged Chen Jie and said, “Hey, your godmother has arrived!”
“Your grandma has arrived,” Chen Jie replied.
Nevertheless, one had to admit, Qiao Hongyan was always the center of attention wherever she went.
Meanwhile, in another part of the crowd, a group of black-clothed staff protected two women and a little girl.
One of the women, mature and slightly seductive, snorted disdainfully, “Hmph, what’s she? Looks like a vixen. Compared to my sister, she’s nothing!”
Su Yunjin immediately called out.
Third Miss Hua waved her fan and said, “Sister, have more confidence. Your beauty surpasses everyone. Why do I sense an air of inferiority in you?”
Su Yunjin responded, “Sister jests. My beauty is frail like a willow…”
“Stop that, what frail beauty. Hey you, come here!”
Third Miss Hua beckoned, and a bystander turned to look, instantly mesmerized by the two beauties.
Third Miss Hua then asked, “Let me ask you, who is more beautiful? My sister or that Qiao Hongyan?”
The man stuttered, and then, unable to take his eyes off Su Yunjin, Third Miss Hua grabbed him by the neck and demanded, “A glance is enough, tell me, who is more beautiful?”
Startled, the man, a skilled practitioner of Skin Buff Realm, found himself defenseless in her grip, completely overpowered by this woman.
Third Miss Hua stared at him and insisted, “Speak, who’s more beautiful?”
“You, you’re beautiful!”
The man was terrified.
“I’m asking about my sister!”
“You, your sister is beautiful.”
“Heh, good eye. You can go.”
The man, released, hurried away without looking back, overwhelmed by fear.
Third Miss Hua looked at Su Yunjin and said, “See that? Passerby says you’re beautiful.”
“Pfft, Sister, he was scared by you.”
“I think he was quite sincere.”
At that moment, Ruirui spoke up, “Every time I make a mistake, Sister takes a feather duster and asks if I know what I did wrong. I’m very sincere then too.”
Hearing this, both Third Miss Hua and Su Yunjin laughed.
Third Miss Hua then glared at Qiao Hongyan and scoffed, “What’s there to show off? She scattered flowers all the way from the city just to show off her wealth.”
Su Yunjin, hearing this, did not try to argue.
Women are naturally competitive. Both Third Miss Hua and Qiao Hongyan, who were prominent figures among the Thirteen Grand Protectors and both women, naturally compared themselves to each other and found each other disagreeable.
