There were many reasons why the Black water thief could become a force that could rival Yuntian City from a wandering horse gang, but the most important one was that they could not lack talented people. There was a saying among the Black water thief, "Sixteen Flying Stars", which referred to the 16 leaders of the horse gang. These 16 people had different abilities, but each had their own outstanding points.
Kang Jianmin was the 11th Flying Star among the "Sixteen Flying Stars". This person was cruel and killed people like flies. His cultivation was not outstanding compared to the other Flying Stars, but he had the strength of the Cultivating Embryo Stage. In particular, his external hard kungfu was extremely powerful. Ordinary knives and swords could not hurt him. In addition, he was also good at using concealed weapons, so he was the most difficult person to deal with in Jianghu.
Naturally, Wang Yan could not deal with such a person, and Gongsun Sanniang did not intend to let Wang Yan deal with Kang Jianmin. The reason why she tracked down Wang Yan was that she had watched the previous battle from afar and witnessed the whole process of Wang Yan suppressing the bearded man.
The bearded man was the "Wang Mocheng" mentioned by Gongsun Sanniang when he suppressed Ye Xiaofei. This person's cultivation was not low, having reached the peak of the Soothing Pulse Stage. It could be said that he was only one step away from entering the Cultivating Embryo Stage. This person was courageous, smart, and decisive. He was highly valued by Kang Jianmin and was regarded as his right-hand man. He was also the leader of the Four Great Vajras.
From Gongsun Sanniang's point of view, Wang Mocheng was the biggest obstacle in her revenge. She came to find Wang Yan because she wanted Wang Yan to deal with this person. Even if he could not kill him, he had to firmly restrain him.
After knowing the overall plan of Gongsun Sanniang, Wang Yan could not help but smile bitterly to himself. He knew himself well. He had racked his brains and risked his life to make Wang Mocheng fall for his trick, but in fact, he knew that Wang Mocheng was much stronger than him. If they were to fight head-on, Wang Yan felt that he would not last more than ten moves against this person.
However, Wang Yan didn't refuse Gongsun Sanniang. Instead, after thinking for a while, he said, "Fifty taels of gold. After the matter is settled, we won't talk about the ancient scriptures and famous swords for the time being. However, you have to give me another fifty taels of gold."
There was no doubt that Wang Yan was asking for an exorbitant price, but Gongsun Sanniang was relieved. She bowed to Wang Yan and said, "Thank you, young hero. It's just that I came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring so much gold with me. Please accept these fifty taels of silver for the time being. When I return, I will give the rest to you."
As she said this, Gongsun Sanniang took out a silver ingot and handed it over. Wang Yan did not stand on ceremony and generously kept it. Seeing this, Gongsun Sanniang said, "Young hero Wang is not feeling well. You can come to my place to take a bath. When I have arranged everything properly in the next two days, I will have to trouble you."
Gongsun Sanniang's invitation was extremely tactful and polite. In fact, she was afraid that Wang Yan would take the silver ingot and run away, so she wanted to bring it back. Wang Yan naturally had no objections. He nodded and gestured to Gongsun Sanniang to lead the way. The three of them headed towards the east side of the White Birch Forest.
The three of them walked for more than an hour. When they got out of the White Birch Forest and crossed a small stream, Gongsun Sanniang brought Wang Yan into a col.
The col looked extremely ordinary on the outside, but it was a completely different world on the inside. Row upon row of terraced fields were distributed on both sides of the col. A huge farm was located in the middle of the col. It was hard to imagine the scene inside the col from the outside. In addition, the place was full of twists and turns. It was far away from the places where people intertwined. It was simply a paradise.
After Gongsun Sanniang led Wang Yan into the farm, she was extremely hospitable to him. She even personally boiled water for Wang Yan's bath. However, she did not mention a single word about the remaining forty-five taels of gold. However, Wang Yan was also mentally prepared. He had always been greedy, and he knew that the silver ingot would not be that easy to get.
Therefore, Wang Yan enjoyed Gongsun Sanniang's hospitality with a clear conscience. After a bath, he changed into the old robe that Gongsun Sanniang sent. Wang Yan felt a lot more refreshed. The strong stench of horse blood finally disappeared.
When Wang Yan came out of the bath, Gongsun Sanniang was already waiting outside. She immediately came forward and said, "Young hero Wang, dinner is ready. I will introduce you to the others later."
As they spoke, Gongsun Sanniang led Wang Yan to the largest hall in the farm. When they entered the hall, Wang Yan saw that there were already two or three people from the pugilistic world sitting in the hall. These people were not particular. They were in groups of three to five, each surrounding a pot. As they added food, they also picked food to eat. It was very lively.
During the time when he hung out with Master Po, Wang Yan knew that players were not inhuman beings who did not eat food. According to Master Po, players were full of energy and slept very little. However, because of their stamina, they needed to eat and even sleep when necessary. Apart from a few rare natural treasures, eating and sleeping were the only way for players to recover stamina.
Gongsun Sanniang seemed to be a little unhappy with the scene in front of him. He frowned slightly and looked around in disdain. Then, he quickly put on a smile and led Wang Yan to the hall. Then, he put down a table and called a few farm women to serve a few dishes for Wang Yan.
Braised pig trotters, soy sauce pork knuckles, braised pork …
Although they were just ordinary dishes, the meat was fragrant and delicious. Looking at it, Wang Yan's appetite was greatly aroused. For the past two days, he had been traveling deep in the mountains and forests. He had mostly eaten wild fruits and vegetables, so the taste in his mouth had already faded. Now that he was faced with these meat dishes, his appetite was naturally aroused. However, before Wang Yan could start eating, four people arrived outside the door. The one in front was Ye Xiaofei.
As soon as the four people entered the hall, the originally lively scene immediately quieted down. Ye Xiaofei ignored them and led the four people straight to Wang Yan's side. Then, someone naturally placed a table and served the four people food. However, when Ye Xiaofei passed by Wang Yan, her gaze towards Wang Yan was still filled with strong hostility and disdain.
Wang Yan's heart did not waver because of this. Instead, he carefully looked at the three people behind Ye Xiaofei. These three people's footsteps were heavy. There was even a man among them who wore a bamboo hat, a black veil, and a long saber at his waist. As he walked, there was a faint sound of the wind. Obviously, this person's inner force was quite profound, and his attainment in Qinggong was definitely not low.
Gongsun Sanniang had been staying beside Wang Yan. Seeing that Wang Yan was sizing up the three people, she immediately said, "The person who uses the saber is called 'Xia He'. Among this group of people, he has the highest cultivation level. He has already reached the peak of the Illuminating Pulse Realm. As for the man with long hair wearing a cloak, he is called 'Mo Wenxin'. He is a disciple of the Yuan He Sect. This time, he happened to pass by this place when he was traveling and was invited by my sister to help. As for the last person … "
Wang Yan's gaze had already shifted away from Xia He. After skipping over Mo Wen's heart, he looked at the last person. This person was dressed in a long white robe and was dressed like a scholar. His appearance was not outstanding, as if there was nothing special about him that caught anyone's attention. However, after this person sat down, he glanced at the table full of dishes. Then, he took out a silver needle and tried each dish very seriously.
"Cowardly scoundrel!"
Gongsun Sanniang was very dissatisfied with this person's behavior. She said angrily, "This Gao Li is really too much. Since he was invited here, he is afraid that someone will poison him. He even tested the poison at every meal in front of me. This is really infuriating. I don't know why my sister would invite such a cowardly person. Does he think he can defeat the Four Great Vajras? What a fool's dream! "
