Chapter 163
"We're already near the Tianshan Mountains. What's your next step?"
The waiter served the noodles quickly. Fan Xiaoxiao picked up a mouthful of noodles, blew on it to cool it down, and casually asked Bai Chaoyan about her next plans.
"Let's eat first."
Bai Chaoyan glanced at Fan Xiaoxiao with a hint of helplessness. She had been taught at home since childhood not to talk while eating or sleeping, so she was not used to discussing things while eating.
Fan Xiaoxiao nodded and focused on eating her noodles. Before she had even taken two bites, she felt the area in front of her suddenly darken, as if something was blocking their way.
Looking up, she saw that it was the same group of people in white who had dismounted from their horses. The leader was handsome, with a square face, and looked righteous and awe-inspiring. However, the look in his eyes as he stared at Bai Chaoyan was full of aggression.
Fan Xiaoxiao frowned, instinctively feeling a bit disgusted with this person. However, the man in white didn't see her expression; he was currently staring intently at Bai Chaoyan, his eyes blatantly scrutinizing her from head to toe. Then, with a smile, he asked, "Would you mind if we shared a seat?"
The Ghost Doctor swallowed the noodles in his mouth. He hated this group of Tianshan Sect members dressed in mourning clothes the most, and now they were disturbing him during his mealtime. So, he showed a hint of displeasure on his face: "Mind your own business? Can't you see that we're full? Are you blind?"
After saying that, the Ghost Doctor rolled his eyes, showing no regard for the fact that they were near Tianshan and that they should give the Tianshan Sect some face. This tone infuriated the short, dark-faced Tianshan disciple, who immediately stepped out from behind the leading disciple, stood in front of the Ghost Doctor with a domineering look, and said in a harsh voice.
"Hey! Old man, how dare you talk like that! This is the disciple of the Grand Elder of the Tianshan Sect! Watch your manners!"
Fan Xiaoxiao frowned. It seemed these people were capable of causing trouble. She stopped eating and tugged at the Ghost Doctor, preparing to get up: "Alright, this table is yours! We're not eating anymore, Grandpa, let's go."
As soon as the dark-faced disciple saw her move, he immediately picked up his sword and pressed it heavily on Fan Xiaoxiao's shoulder, the force so great that it forced her back into a seat.
"Did my senior brother fucking let you touch him?!"
The waiter at the tea stall noticed something was wrong and quickly slipped out from behind the stall.
Fan Xiaoxiao was pinned down and unable to move, and Gu Chongtai and the Ghost Doctor's faces immediately darkened. Bai Chaoyan's expression also turned unpleasant; she had no idea that there were such thugs and hooligans like these in front of her in Tianshan!
Enraged, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up, saying in a cold voice, "How dare you be so insolent! This is territory under the jurisdiction of Tianshan! As disciples of Tianshan, how can you bully commoners like this!"
Just as the dark-faced disciple was about to speak, he felt a sharp pain in his head. The square-faced man behind him slapped him hard, then walked up to Bai Chaoyan with a smile, placing his hands on Bai Chaoyan's shoulders and stroking them back and forth, his expression sincere and full of apology.
“Young brother, you misunderstand. As disciples of Tianshan, how could we be so unruly? My junior brother is indeed a bit spoiled; I will certainly discipline him when we return. How about this, I'll treat you all to some more food to express my apology?”
Fan Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the man's actions. He appeared polite, but his hands were filthy. He pretended to invite them to eat, but he was just looking for an opportunity to take advantage of the female lead. What a pervert!
Bai Chaoyan also sensed something was amiss. She took a step back and broke free from the white-clad man's grip. Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Gu Zhongtai put down his teacup and glance at the group with extremely cold eyes: "Not good."
The square-faced man at the head of the group froze for a moment. He had already revealed his identity, but he hadn't expected this pretty boy to be so disrespectful. His smile vanished, and his eyes slowly hardened with a hint of menace.
When the dark-faced disciple saw his senior brother's expression change, he immediately slammed his sword down in front of Gu Chongtai and reached out to grab Gu Chongtai's collar.
"You brat! Don't push your luck... Ah!!!!!!!!! My hand! My hand!"
Before the disciple could finish speaking, he let out a heart-wrenching scream. His hand, which was reaching for Gu Chongtai's collar, fell onto the table with a thud, splattering blood everywhere, some of it even falling into the soup bowl in front of Fan Xiaoxiao. The only thing that could be smelled was the strong stench of blood.
The smell made her feel nauseous, so she quickly ran to the side, bent over, and vomited profusely.
The Tianshan disciples present were stunned by Gu Chongtai's sudden attack. The one in the lead, with a square face, looked down at the red stains on his white robe, his face turning pale and then red.
The dark-faced disciple writhed on the ground in agony, screaming, "My hand! My hand! Senior brother! Kill him! Kill him!!! Ah!!!"
The people who had come out to watch the commotion at the tea stall saw blood and someone shouted, "Run!" The crowd scattered like birds and beasts, and the chaotic scene made the square-faced man's expression so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
Gu Zhongtai narrowed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and gave the square-faced man in the lead a bloodthirsty smile. He casually flicked the dagger in his right hand, cleanly brushing away the bloodstains. Then he raised his left hand, his eyes contemptuously beckoning to the square-faced man.
His action completely enraged the square-faced man, who roared and drew his sword, slashing at Gu Zhongtai's table.
The Ghost Doctor's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly retreated with Gu Zhongtai. Bai Chaoyan, standing to the side, also lightly touched the ground with her toes, dodging the flying splinters of table and chair wood.
"Where do you think you're going, you little beast!"
The square-faced man missed his first attack, his eyes bloodshot. He brandished his longsword, which hummed as he stomped his foot, charging straight at Gu Zhongtai's face.
Gu Zhongtai narrowed his eyes dangerously, flipped his right hand and produced a piece of silver. He flicked it, and the silver bounced off the square-faced man's longsword with a clang.
Having his attacks dodged twice, the square-faced man's expression grew increasingly gloomy. He glanced at Fan Xiaoxiao beside him, sneered, and then, with a swift movement, shifted his sword, aiming it directly at the helpless Fan Xiaoxiao!
"You little beast! You injured my junior brother's hand! Now you'll pay for it with this little girl!"
"baby!"
Gu Chongtai was startled and, disregarding his own needling technique, tried to rush to Fan Xiaoxiao's aid. However, the woman had already lost face twice in front of Gu Chongtai, so how could she not be wary of him?
Her henchmen immediately grabbed them, and Fan Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her hands and feet went weak, only to see the sword getting closer and closer to her.
"It's over, I'm going to be in deep trouble this time."
Fan Xiaoxiao resignedly curled up into a ball, her eyes tightly closed, her whole body trembling.
I felt a gust of wind blow over my head, but the expected pain didn't happen. Instead, I heard a loud bang, followed by a scream from the square-faced man opposite me.
"??"
Fan Xiaoxiao opened her eyes with trembling hands, only to see a white figure standing beside her against the light, its back view aloof and otherworldly.
Tianshan Sect - Xiahou!
