Hearing Ye Xiaofei's words, Wang Yan's eyes flickered. He roughly understood what was going on in front of him. Ye Xiaofei was obviously a player, while Gongsun Sanniang was an NPC. Ye Xiaofei must have spent a lot of time and effort to become sworn brothers with Gongsun Sanniang, hoping to get something amazing from Gongsun Sanniang. As for Wang Yan, Ye Xiaofei treated him as a player. This woman was afraid that Wang Yan would steal her quest, so she tried to stop him.
As for why these two people came to him, Wang Yan naturally had no idea. However, he did not let his guard down. After all, these two people were talking to themselves. As for Ye Xiaofei's request, of course, he would not agree to it rashly. He needed more information.
With this thought in mind, Wang Yan took two steps back, distancing himself from Ye Xiaofei. Then, he looked at Gongsun Sanniang and said, "I've just arrived here and there are many things I don't understand. It's impossible for me to agree to anything rashly."
Wang Yan's words were very firm. Ye Xiaofei immediately glared at him and shouted, "Don't be so shameless. If it wasn't for …"
Before he could finish his words, Gongsun Sanniang rushed forward and grabbed Ye Xiaofei. She growled like a tigress, "Xiaofei! I have indulged you time and time again for the sake of our friendship, but I have to avenge my blood debt. If you continue to pester me endlessly like this … "
"I'm not pestering you. This person is just a fledgling. He doesn't know anything. Even if he's skilled, he won't be able to accomplish anything. Sister, don't forget that I was the one who found most of the people you recruited previously. "
Ye Xiaofei did not give in. Her fear of Wang Yan was obvious. However, Gongsun Sanniang did not give in either. She only said, "Sister, can the people you recruited defeat the Four Great King Kongs? I'm afraid even Wang Mocheng won't be able to hold them back! "
Hearing Gongsun Sanniang's words, Ye Xiaofei wanted to say something. However, when the words reached her mouth, she could not help but lower her head. Obviously, Gongsun Sanniang had poked at her sore spot. Gongsun Sanniang immediately said, "Sister, your words may be a little harsh, but the blood debt must be avenged. If you continue to obstruct me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Gongsun Sanniang's words were extremely harsh. Ye Xiaofei's expression changed several times. Finally, she looked at Wang Yan and snorted coldly. Then, she resentfully retreated behind Gongsun Sanniang. Seeing this, Gongsun Sanniang bowed to Wang Yan again and said, "Young hero, if you have any questions, please ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Wang Yan heard this and smiled slightly. This was the effect he wanted. Wang Yan was naturally interested in a few dozen taels of gold and some ancestral heirloom that Gongsun Sanniang spoke of. Apart from that, players like Ye Xiaofei were existences that Wang Yan paid the most attention to. He had previously rejected Ye Xiaofei because he wanted to get the most detailed information from the true decision-maker.
"To tell you the truth, this humble one has only just entered the northern region of the Nanyue Province. I know very little about the surroundings. Currently, I only know the name of that town. If you don't mind, you can tell me everything you know in detail."
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Gongsun Sanniang couldn't help but exclaim, "Young hero, could it be that you passed through the Tai Yue Mountain Range?"
The reason why Gongsun Sanniang was so surprised was probably because this place wasn't at the northern border. It wasn't connected to other places, and it wasn't an easy matter to pass through the Tai Yue Mountain Range from other places. After all, there were many terrifying places in the depths of the Tai Yue Mountain Range. They could be said to be forbidden zones for life. There were even legends that there were peerless Vicious Beasts left behind from ancient times.
Of course, Wang Yan wouldn't answer Gongsun Sanniang. He only smiled and didn't deny it. Gongsun Sanniang was tactful and didn't ask further. He began to tell Wang Yan about the northern region.
There were a total of nineteen big cities in the northern region of the Nanyue Province. Thirteen of them were controlled by the three major sects in the north — Ming Luo Sect, Gui Yuan Sect, and Shenxiu Peak. The other six small cities were divided among the various factions. Mingkang Town was under the jurisdiction of Yuntian City.
Third Lady Gongsun was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in Mingkang Town. Her Gongsun family was a well-known local noble family in this area. Her family also had some business dealings with the influential figures in Cloud Sky City. It could be said that they had protection from above, and their own power was also very great. Such a noble family was basically like a local tyrant in the local area.
However, unexpectedly, a group of horse bandits came from the east a few months ago. Not only did this group of horse bandits have a large number of people, they were also very strong. In a short period of time, they took over eleven towns south of Yuntian City. Mingkang Town wasn't spared. In addition, the Gongsun family was especially fierce in the process of resistance. In the end, hundreds of people in the family were all killed by the horse bandits. Only Gongsun Sanniang escaped through a secret passage under the cover of her father and brother.
If that was all, Gongsun Sanniang would naturally go after the horse bandits if she wanted to seek revenge. However, she didn't expect that after the horse bandits swept through the south of Yuntian City, they used the name "Black Water" and took over eleven towns, including Mingkang Town. They vaguely formed a new force that could compete with Yuntian City. The horse bandit who killed Gongsun Sanniang's father and brother happened to be assigned to take charge of Mingkang Town.
"… The Black Water thief is now powerful and difficult to deal with. In addition, he has the support of other forces, so he has become a big deal. I know that my ability is limited, so I don't want to kill all the thieves. I only want to take Kang Jianmin's head as a sacrifice to my father and brother's souls in heaven. Therefore, I found you this time and only hope that you will help me. I have nothing else in return except some gold and silver. Apart from that, if you can take revenge this time, there is an ancient scripture and a famous sword in the secret chamber of my ancestral home. When the time comes, you can take it yourself. "
Take it yourself?
Wang Yan sneered in his heart. Although he didn't have much experience in Jianghu, he knew that these words couldn't be taken seriously. This Gongsun Sanniang must have said the same thing to many people before. She only wanted revenge. As for how the others took it themselves, she wouldn't ask. She didn't have the ability to ask.
However, Wang Yan was very interested in this matter. Not to mention the gold and silver, the so-called ancient scripture and the famous sword, Wang Yan was very interested in Ye Xiaofei and the group of people she recruited. Thinking of this, Wang Yan thought for a while and then said, "Who were the people I killed at the town entrance?"
Huh?
Gongsun Sanniang was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Wang Yan to ask such a question. However, she quickly replied, "Those people were just some local ruffians in Mingkang Town. In the past, they did some bad things like stealing chickens and kicking down the door of widows. Although they were hated by people, no one really wanted to make things difficult for them.
However, later on, these people relied on the Black water thief and used the name of the Black water thief to do all kinds of evil things in the town. Now, they have become the watchdogs of the Black water thief. They usually set up checkpoints at the town entrance to collect money. It seems that the death of these bastards isn't a pity. Young hero, you don't have to worry about it. "
Just local ruffians who set up checkpoints to collect money?
Wang Yan couldn't help but secretly shake his head. He sighed that he really had too little experience in Jianghu. If he had seen through the identity of that group of people and handed over a few coins to enter the town, how would there be the danger later on? Ye Xiaofei thought that he was a greenhorn who had just stepped into Jianghu. Therefore, she looked down on him. It could be considered as' penetrating insight '.
