Du Zhang almost exploded with the breath he was holding in.
No matter how much drama there was in previous years, this great man never appeared to seek justice for the Luo family. Even Luo Laogou himself should know that he would not be invited unless the family's survival was in danger. But now, why did such a small matter require the intervention of this great god?
Besides, who among those present could know more than him? This person's surname wasn't even Luo! He had no connection to the Luo family at all, so how could he so calmly say, "You can't write two Luo characters with one stroke"?
————————
After the Du family, forced to cede territory and pay compensation by taking advantage of Luo Cang's influence and humiliating the country, left in frustration and anger, the Luo clan leader sent the elders away and returned to the hall to bow to Luo Cang: "Thank you so much for your help today, sir."
"It doesn't matter." Luo Cang waved his hand casually, "Your son is a good one, smart and lovable."
Seeing a hint of uncontrollable pride on the face of Luo Clan leader, Luo Cang unconsciously revealed a faint smile: "However, Jiujiang still needs to be polished. I will leave him in Beixue Garden for the next few days."
Chief Luo's eyes lit up, and the hand stroking his long beard couldn't help but tighten its grip a bit. "This is my son's honor. If there's anything I haven't done well, I hope you'll be willing to give me some pointers. You can give me a beating or a scolding."
"Yeah." Luo Cang had no intention of playing along with these favors, and just casually replied, "Goodbye."
In his opinion, Chief Luo didn't need to worry about this - he had trained Luo Jiujiang in wrestling and fighting, but he had never shown mercy or courtesy to him.
Luo Jiujiang, who had always been beaten by Luo Cang, was now in a dilemma in the cave.
He didn't have much experience dealing with snakes, so he was probably more familiar with sea snakes. However, sea snakes were docile and generally wouldn't attack—except when he'd tied a bunch of them into a large knot. But for some reason, the snakes in this cave were scurrying towards him like crazy!
Snakes are animals that attack very quickly. They can attack more than ten times in one breath. When Luo Jiujiang first went down into the cave, he didn't understand the situation clearly, and in the blink of an eye, four or five snakes were hanging on his body.
At first, he considered whether he should remain still and treat his wound, fearing the venom of the snake's fangs might be present. But he quickly gave up the question: even though he couldn't see or hear, he could tell from the cool, sticky serpents that kept slamming against his skin that he was in a constant state of confusion. He had somehow become the target of every snake in the area—and quite possibly the entire cave!
Standing still is useless, as snakes hunt primarily by scent and heat.
Standing still could indeed delay the onset of the snake venom, which might or might not exist, but judging from his current situation, it was more likely that he would be bitten to death by these snakes before the venom took effect!
Even though he was in such a dangerous situation now, Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but laugh at this absurd yet true black humor: I have only heard of people being killed by snake venom and strangulation, but who has ever heard of people being killed by snake bites?
Besides, there are more than just snakes in this cave...
Luo Jiujiang stabbed straight down with his knife, nailing a scorpion that was crawling on his feet to the ground. He then wrapped his sleeve around his hand and quickly brushed away something that was falling from above, bringing up a little airflow.
Judging from the vague touch I just had through my sleeve, it was probably a big spider with bared fangs and claws and legs covered with bristles.
Just as he was cutting the two long snakes, Luo Jiujiang lost his balance and stepped on something without a shell or armor - probably a toad.
There were countless snakes that pounced on Luo Jiujiang one after another. Luo Jiujiang quickly and hurriedly used his knife to deal with them, while cursing in his heart.
How did his master train these snakes?
Luo Jiujiang is now blind and deaf, and his accuracy in swinging the knife has declined, not to mention that he can only locate the enemy's position by the airflow caused by the snake when it jumps up. If he is not quick enough in reacting, he will be bitten. He is so flustered that he is almost at his wit's end.
If Luo Cang would apologize to Han Qianling, this would probably be the most incredible thing Luo Jiujiang had ever encountered in his fourteen years of life.
Whether it was his usual indifference or the lingering gloom in his eyes, everything about him betrayed his eccentric and arrogant nature. Luo Jiujiang was more likely to believe that he was going to smack Han Qianling to death than to apologize to him.
So Luo Jiujiang agreed, but in fact he planned to forget about it when he turned around to find Qianling, and didn't care who Luo Cang loved. Unexpectedly, Luo Cang had anticipated Luo Jiujiang's move and spoke before he could even lift his foot.
"A cripple like me, with limited mobility, not only walks slowly but also has limited patience. If I don't see your friend within a quarter of an hour, I'll definitely go find him and get angry."
Luo Jiujiang suddenly turned his head to look at him. Luo Cang's face was still expressionless, only his eyes moved. He said slowly: "A snap of the fingers."
This has already started counting.
Luo Jiujiang ran away. If he hadn't been related to Luo Cang, he would have cursed this man's ancestors in his heart in the blink of an eye.
Of course, he wouldn't mind going against Luo Cang when he was alone, but Han Qianling was different after all. He had no parents and no clan to back him up. If he really went against Luo Cang, he would either be bullied or suffer unnecessary wrath.
So in less than half a minute, Han Qianling was standing in front of Luo Cang.
Luo Cang was surprised that Luo Jiujiang didn't stick to him. He sensed it for a moment, and the next second, he was so angry that he laughed.
