Since the conflict between the two sides is irreconcilable, a fight is almost inevitable.
Even if it was inevitable, they couldn't just start fighting right away. So after discussions, both sides decided that the seminar still had to be held.
We still need to discuss how to resolve this matter. If we can't reach an agreement, we can discuss it again later.
The meaning is quite clear: the formalities need to be done, but the main reason is that both sides want to get some rest, since everyone has just arrived and hasn't had a proper adjustment period yet.
If a fight breaks out now, everyone will suffer losses. Nobody wants that to happen, so naturally, we need to find a reason.
This so-called symposium became a pretext, frankly speaking, just a way to delay things a little.
So both sides took a break for the time being and decided to hold a meeting three days later.
During these three days, people from various sects and the Beggars' Sect instructed their disciples to rest well and prepare for a good fight three days later.
Since it wouldn't start for another three days, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu didn't need to feed the mosquitoes at Wulao Mountain. They found a nearby town and stayed at an inn.
Not only did they settle in inns, but many sect workers, Beggar Clan disciples, and martial arts figures also went to stay in nearby towns.
Especially in the nearest town, there was a sudden influx of visitors, making the town much more lively.
Walking down the street, those so-called江湖人士 (jianghu figures) are particularly arrogant.
They carried knives and swords, swaggering through the streets. When they encountered ordinary people, they were arrogant and haughty, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were江湖人士 (jianghu figures).
Moreover, their tone of voice was extremely fierce, constantly displaying the power and ruthlessness of these so-called江湖人士 (jianghu figures).
These scenes made Zhu Yunwen's face very unpleasant. Of course, he didn't say anything. Anyway, these guys were going to be dealt with and punished soon, so let them be arrogant for a while longer.
In a restaurant, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu were eating when several Beggar Clan disciples, dressed in somewhat tattered but high-quality fabrics, walked in.
The Beggars' Sect members were not actually poor, nor were they really beggars, but they disguised themselves as beggars.
So even though the Beggars' Sect wasn't poor, and the clothes they wore were actually made of high-quality fabric, they still had to wear tattered clothes.
This is how they look like members of the Beggars' Sect, and this is what makes them fit the identity of a Beggars' Sect member. Therefore, these guys only look a little bit like beggars, but in reality, they are very generous.
They ate lavish meals of fish and meat, making even the real beggars' eyes light up with envy.
They may never imagine in their entire lives that there is such a huge difference between beggars.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary beggars cannot be considered members of the Beggars' Guild and must join it.
You need to apply at each local branch of the Beggars' Sect.
These real beggars can't even afford the fee to join the Beggars' Guild, so how could they possibly join?
A real beggar would have a hard time getting a meal on a regular day, so how could he possibly afford the application fee for the Beggars' Guild?
Therefore, real beggars are actually two different things from the Beggars' Sect.
In the Beggars' Guild, "beggar" is a profession, while "real beggar" is an adjective.
Inside the restaurant, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu ate their food without paying any attention to the boasting of the martial arts figures at the surrounding tables.
Just as the two were enjoying their meal, several Beggar Clan disciples suddenly saw a young and beautiful girl passing by them. One of the disciples even reached out and groped the young woman's buttocks.
The young woman turned around angrily and questioned the Beggar Clan disciple, who stood up nonchalantly and said with a defiant look:
"Young lady, what kind of attitude is this? Touching you won't hurt you, why are you still unhappy?"
The young woman said angrily:
"Where did this beggar come from? Your hands are so dirty! If you touch me again, believe me, I'll report you to the authorities and have you arrested."
Upon hearing this, the beggar burst into laughter and said:
"Young lady, your words have made me laugh. Do you know who we are? Let me tell you, we are not ordinary beggars, we are disciples of the Beggar Clan."
"It's a blessing for you to touch me. If you're lucky, you might even have to go to bed with me and have some fun. How about it? I'm giving you the chance now, so why don't you consider it?"
Such frivolous and flirtatious words enraged the young woman. She immediately reached out to slap the beggar, but he grabbed her wrist and squeezed it hard, causing the girl to scream in pain.
Then the girl who had called out said with a stern face:
"You're asking for trouble! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. You even dared to lay a hand on me? As punishment, it seems I really have to take you back and teach you a lesson."
As he spoke, a lewd grin appeared on his face, and the beggars next to him immediately drooled.
One of them said:
"Take them away and bring them back to the brothers to have some fun. After all, it's been a long time since we've had any meat."
As they spoke, the group stepped forward together, preparing to take the woman away.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhu Yunwen frowned, and Zhao Qingzhu was also preparing to take action.
But at that moment, an Emei Sect disciple who was also eating in the same restaurant suddenly stood up and spoke:
"The Beggars' Clan is indeed a bunch of despicable people. It seems that taking action against your Beggars' Clan this time was the right choice for all the major sects. You scum of the martial world should be eradicated."
