Looking at this short fatty who was full of smiles and polite, Wang Yan was a little surprised. He knew about Yunma School. It was a big school that controlled the Cloud Heaven City, and it was the enemy of the Black Water thief. Wang Yan thought that a Connecting Pulse Stage cultivator like him would not be noticed by others. He did not expect that an elder of Yunma School would personally invite him.
To be able to become an elder of Yunma School, he would at least be a titled master, or even a Clasping Yuan Stage cultivator. If it was really an invitation from such a person, Wang Yan would definitely go. After all, if he could borrow the help of Yunma School, it would be easier for him to deal with the Black Water thief. This was really like having a pillow sent to him when he was sleepy. However, Wang Yan's expression did not change at all. He only said lightly, "Lead the way."
The short fatty, Li Qing, immediately led Wang Yan forward. There were also a dozen workers from the North Yan Hall with him. These people surrounded Wang Yan and Li Qing in the middle. This group of people seemed to be quite big. Seeing this, Wang Yan knew that the other party valued him very much. However, he did not understand why Yunma School would do this.
Suddenly, the contents of the letter that he got from Chen Wenyuan flashed across Wang Yan's mind. He could not help but think, "Could it be that Yang Yuan has already joined hands with that person from Heng Shui City to attack Yunma School? And the target is in Tianmaji? "
This kind of guess was naturally not accurate. Wang Yan did not want to think too much about it. He immediately looked left and right, then pointed at a shifty-looking guy not far away and said, "You, come here!"
That guy was originally watching from the side. He did not expect Wang Yan to point at him. However, he was a person who mingled in Tianmaji. He was originally a broker, so he was not afraid of Wang Yan. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Master Wang, are you calling me?"
Wang Yan nodded his head, and the shifty-eyed fellow immediately ran over. When he arrived in front of Wang Yan, Wang Yan took out a golden bean from his pocket and pinched it between his fingers. As he rubbed it between his fingers, bits of golden powder floated down. The shifty-eyed fellow hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it.
"Tell me all the major events that happened in Tianmaji in the past two months, especially those related to Yunma School. If you speak well, this golden bean will be rewarded to you. If you lie in your words, be careful that I will rub your head like this golden bean."
In front of Li Qing, Wang Yan did not shy away from asking for information. Li Qing did not expect Wang Yan to do this. He looked a little embarrassed, but did not know what to say. Seeing this, the shifty-looking guy immediately said, "Alright, Master Wang, don't worry. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
As he said this, the broker told him all the major events that happened in Tianmaji in the past few months, especially the matter of Cloud Returning House. Hearing this, Wang Yan had a general understanding of why Yunma School looked for him. However, he still asked, "Regarding the matter of Cloud Returning House, did the Black Water thief and Hengshui City directly make a move?"
Wang Yan and Xia He had mingled in Tianmaji for half a year. Although he rarely came to Tianmaji, through Xia He, he was quite clear about the various forces in Tianmaji. Therefore, he directly asked the crucial question.
The broker shook his head and said, "On the surface, these two sides did not directly make a move. However, everyone knows what is going on in the dark."
Hearing this, Wang Yan had already more or less guessed the purpose of Yunma School's visit. He casually threw the golden bean between his fingers. The shifty-looking guy hurriedly caught it. When the golden bean landed in his hand, the guy treasured it very much. He repeatedly said, "Master Wang is refreshing, really refreshing."
Wang Yan waved his hand and no longer paid attention to the guy. He prepared to leave with Li Qing. However, he did not expect the broker to say, "Master Wang is generous when you make a move, I can't hide it. Master Wang may not know, but the matter of you massacring the Black Water Sect's Mingkang Town branch last night has already spread in Tianmaji. Ordinary people in Jianghu may not know, but those who are well-informed have already known.
Before this, I saw the managers of Chun Ying Pavilion, Four Way Casino, and Xiao Tian all went to the Black Knife Gang. If the leader of the Black Knife Gang hadn't brought his children to Liu Feng Town to attend Zhao Si Ye's son's wedding a few days ago, I'm afraid they would already be looking for Master Wang. Please take care of yourself, Master Wang. "
After saying this, the shifty-looking guy slipped away like a wisp of smoke. Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but shake his head and smile, saying, "I'm just afraid they won't come looking for me."
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Wang Yan's eyes. Luo Sha, who was on his back, seemed to feel the killing intent in his master's heart. It actually shook slightly and let out a light whistle.
Not far away, when Li Qing saw this scene, the awe in his eyes became even heavier. He didn't dare to urge Wang Yan in the slightest. Fortunately, Wang Yan had already inquired about the information he needed, so he didn't delay any further. He turned around and said, "Manager Li, please continue to lead the way."
Li Qing hurriedly nodded and stretched out his hand to lead the way for Wang Yan. Compared to before, the short fatty's figure was even more bowed, and he appeared more humble in front of Wang Yan.
Seeing this, Wang Yan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately asked Li Qing about Master Gan's situation, such as his position, cultivation, and so on, as well as who else was attending the banquet. Having seen Wang Yan's means, Li Qing knew that Wang Yan wasn't a person who could be easily fooled, so he didn't dare to hide anything and answered all of Wang Yan's questions. In this way, Wang Yan completely understood the reason why Yunma School came looking for him.
After a while, the group of people arrived at Elegant Cloud Restaurant. The employees of Northern Yan Hall stayed downstairs, and Li Qing led Wang Yan all the way to the third floor, to a private room called 'Green Mountain'.
Li Qing opened the door curtain, bowed, and said, "Young Hero Wang, please come in."
As soon as Wang Yan stepped into the private room, he saw three people sitting inside. They were an old woman with white hair and a youthful complexion, a young man, and a young girl around sixteen or seventeen years old. They were Elder Gan, Wei Chunfeng, and Wei Xiangnan.
Wei Chunfeng had a nonchalant expression on his face as he watched Wang Yan enter, whereas Wei Xiangnan's eyes were filled with joy and curiosity. Meanwhile, the old woman rose to her feet and walked over to welcome him with a warm smile.
"I've heard news about you often in the past half a year, and I thought that you were already an outstanding talent among the younger generation. Now that I've seen you in person, I know that your reputation doesn't live up to your reputation. You're truly a dragon among men, and I'm afraid that there's no young talent under the age of twenty in the five states that is more outstanding than you."
The old woman surnamed Gan was a shrewd old woman, and her flattery made Wang Yan feel a little embarrassed. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. The old woman didn't mind, and immediately pulled Wang Yan's hand, saying, "The banquet this time is a little abrupt, and I hope that you won't forget it. Please sit at the head of the table, young hero."
Wang Yan frowned slightly when he heard this. He already knew from Li Qing that the old woman surnamed Gan was at the peak of the Nurturing Embryo stage, and she was known as' Iron Palm Plum 'in the pugilistic world. Be it in terms of cultivation or seniority, this old woman was above him, so he shouldn't be so courteous.
Wang Yan sneered in his heart, and thought to himself, Looks like she's using a soft knife. Diwu Yun once said that some people have to flatter others before they want to use them as a tool. However, she wants me to help your Yunma School charge and break through enemy lines with just some fancy words. Isn't this wishful thinking a little too clever?
With this thought in mind, Wang Yan's feet sank, and he seemed to have taken root on the ground. He said indifferently, "The head of the table should be taken by you, senior. How can I, junior, sit there? The pugilistic world is a place where rules are important. If senior insists on doing this, I'm afraid we can't have this meal, and we can't talk about what we should talk about. "
The old woman surnamed Gan didn't expect Wang Yan to suddenly respond in such a way, and her expression changed slightly. Wei Chunfeng snorted coldly when he saw this, and said, "I gave you face, but you don't want it. You're just a mere servant disciple …"
Before Wei Chunfeng could finish his words, the old woman surnamed Gan immediately shouted, "Chunfeng, don't talk nonsense!"
Before the shout died down, the old woman surnamed Gan turned to look at Wang Yan, but Wang Yan waved his hand indifferently. He then pulled out a chair and sat down boldly, and said, "Master Gan, please sit at the head of the table."
As he said that, Wang Yan shouted outside, "Manager Li, if you have nothing to do, come in and have a drink with Wang Yan. Wang Yan isn't used to bullying the old, the weak, and the young when it comes to drinking."
While Wang Yan was mocking Master Gan and Wei Chunfeng, Master Gan didn't say anything and just sat at the head of the table. When Wei Chunfeng heard that he was being treated as a child by Wang Yan, his face immediately turned as red as a monkey's butt. However, he didn't dare say a word because of Master Gan's anger.
Only the young girl's reaction was out of Wang Yan's expectation. The girl raised the wine pot and smiled sweetly, and said, "Big brother, you don't mind Xiangnan calling you that, do you? Xiangnan doesn't drink, so I'll pour a cup of wine for big brother. "
The girl happened to be sitting next to Wang Yan, and as she spoke, she picked up the wine pot and filled Wang Yan's cup to the brim. Her actions softened the atmosphere a little. It was at this moment that Li Qing opened the curtain and poked his round head in. Master Gan nodded at him, and he finally made his way in and sat at the head of the table. He said, "It's truly an honor to be able to drink with young hero Wang. Li Qing, let's toast three cups first."
This fellow seemed to be an experienced drinker, and he immediately drank three cups in a row. Wang Yan couldn't help cheering loudly when he saw this, and then raised the wine cup that Wei Xiangnan had filled and drained it in one gulp. After this cup of wine, both Li Qing and Master Gan knew that the previous probing and unpleasantness was over, and this was the official start of the banquet.
Wang Yan was also aware of this, so after he put down the wine cup, he said, "Wang Yan is a straightforward person. Wang Yan already knows the reason why Master Gan invited me here, so Master Gan doesn't need to say anything more. Just tell me what you want me to do."
Wang Yan appeared to be very forthright, and Second Young Master Wei straightened his back upon hearing this, feeling that his reputation in Yunma School was big enough that Wang Yan was willing to order him around. However, Master Gan took a look at Li Qing, and saw this fellow shake his head lightly. Master Gan seemed to have understood something, and immediately said, "Since Young Hero Wang is so straightforward, this old one will not beat around the bush. This old one has heard of the grudge between Young Hero Wang and the Black water thief, and the Black water thief is our Yunma School's archenemy, so I took the liberty to invite Young Hero Wang here to discuss the enemy …"
Before Master Gan could finish her words, Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Master Gan, although Wang Yan is young, he is not a rookie in Jianghu. The grudge between me and the Black water thief must be settled, but whether I will fight for Yunma School or whether I will fight for Second Young Master Wei is a completely different matter."
There were a few meanings in Wang Yan's words. Wei Chunfeng was confused, and Li Qing lowered his head to sip the wine in his cup. Master Gan, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes, and understood the meaning behind Wang Yan's words. She never thought that Wang Yan was so experienced in Jianghu, and pointed out the crux of this matter with one prick.
Master Gan understood that Wang Yan was not easy to fool. The more heroic he sounded, the higher the price he would have to pay. Therefore, Master Gan could not help but ponder for a moment, and then said, "If this old one wants to ask Young Hero Wang to help me get rid of the manager of Cloud Returning Tower, Qi Xiangshan, what is the price?"
"A top-notch Elemental Rest Grass."
Hearing Wang Yan's answer, Wei Chunfeng immediately jumped up, and said, "You're demanding an exorbitant price!"
Master Gan glanced coldly at Wei Chunfeng, and this guy sat down with a shameful expression. Meanwhile, Wang Yan was still smiling, but no matter how one looked at him, he looked like he was raising a butcher's knife to a fat pig.
Master Gan did not seem to care about a top-notch Elemental Rest Grass at all, and then said, "Can Young Hero Wang do more?"
"Of course!"
Wang Yan's answer was resolute and decisive. Master Gan's eyes lit up, and she said, "What if this old one wants to ask Young Hero Wang to help take down Cloud Returning Tower?"
"Ten thousand gold."
"What if this old one wants to ask Young Hero Wang to wipe out the Black water thief's branch in Tianmaji? And what price will it cost? "
"I'd like to borrow your sect's Vitality Channeling Technique and Embryo Condensation Secret Technique for a look."
Wang Yan's words could be considered a taboo, but aside from Wei Chunfeng's sudden change of expression, everyone present, whether it was Master Gan or Li Qing, sat as still as a mountain, without the slightest bit of surprise. There was even a hint of joy in Master Gan's eyes.
However, before Master Gan could reply, a sudden shout came from outside the room.
"How dare you! I, Li Tianxing, would like to see who is so arrogant as to dare to say in Tianmaji that he will wipe out the Black water sect's forces! "
