Yuan Jian had a smile on his face and his demeanor was impeccable.
Yang Ji nodded. Duan Gang couldn't help but look at the other person deeply: "Hello."
"Haha, something happened just now. I didn't expect that we would meet again. You are going back to the mountain. I won't disturb you."
Yuan Jian said a few pleasantries, said goodbye to Su Hong, and then left.
As quickly as it comes, as quickly as it goes!
"Su Hong, this Mr. Yuan... I feel a little weird. You should be more careful in the future."
After leaving the town, there were few people on the road, Yang Ji suddenly said.
"oh?"
Su Hong frowned, but there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
Yang Ji smiled in his heart and shook his head, swallowing the rest of his words. This former young master helped Su Hong pay a huge sum of 300,000 taels of silver, and he was handsome and graceful. Su Hong obviously had a good impression of him.
After all, he and Su Hong are friends, and some things can be stopped as soon as possible. If you say too much, people will think that you like to speak ill of people behind their backs, which is a villain's behavior and will make your disciples unhappy.
As a friend, just fulfill your responsibilities and have a clear conscience.
"Nothing, let's go."
Yang Jidao.
Su Hong then turned from anger to happiness: "Let's go!"
With Su Hong's character, unhappiness comes and goes quickly. She surpasses two people in the blink of an eye and rushes forward.
"Yang Ji, could you be..."
Duan Gang deliberately lagged behind, touched Yang Ji's shoulder, and made an expression like "You shouldn't be jealous of that Mr. Yuan?"
"Where did you think you were going? It's nothing."
Yang Ji slapped Duan Gang hard on the shoulder, making him grin.
"Hey, it's fine if you don't have it. It's fine if you don't have it!"
Duan Gang grinned, beckoned to the crane behind him, and immediately flew away.
Looking at Duan Gang's leaving figure, Yang Ji's expression quickly darkened.
Yang Ji was not jealous of Su Hong as Duan Gang suspected. Su Hong was loyal and forthright, but Yang Ji had not grown to like her yet.
In fact, Yang Ji saw too many "weird" things in this young master.
He spent a lot of money, including three hundred thousand taels of silver, to help an unknown woman without even frowning.
To be able to have such skill and background, this person's background is at least at the level of a wealthy family. But with such a prominent status, there is not even a single person around him to serve or follow him.
This small town is close to the Iron Crown Sect, and most of them are disciples of the Iron Crown Sect, but no one knows them. Su Hong also said that this is his first time here.
If you are truly a generous person, he will treat the situation rather than the person. After spending 300,000 taels, it will be fine and clean.
But he told Su Hong that his name was Yuan Jian, but he didn't tell him his origins. He only said that we would meet him later. He didn't do things well and left a "tail". He was obviously waiting to meet Su Hong again.
If it was just like this, then maybe Yang Ji was just imagining things. It wouldn't be surprising for people with this kind of personality in the world. But after just a while, the group saw him at the exit of the town.
——This is the second meeting!
It came so fast. Even though it seemed that it was Yang Ji and the others who bumped into him, Yang Ji always felt a lot weird.
It is said that "showing courtesy without having anything to do is either a traitor or a thief". At least, in Yang Ji's view, the behavior of this "former young master" was not as "pure" as it seemed.
"I hope I'm overthinking it."
Yang Ji suppressed his concentration and quickly chased after him.
It was getting dark, and we left the town some way away. The path became increasingly remote, surrounded by primitive mountain roads and grass, and no one could be seen in the distance.
"oops!"
Su Hong, who was walking at the front, shouted and her expression changed drastically.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Ji and Duan Gang quickly came forward and asked in unison.
"My things are missing. The things that senior sister asked me to buy."
Su Hong's face turned quite pale.
"When did this happen?"
Yang Ji asked immediately. The things Lin Qingyan asked her to purchase were definitely not cheap.
"I remember that I still had it with me when I met Duan Gang."
Su Hong looked anxious.
"That's impossible. We didn't see anyone at all along the way. No one bumped into you either."
Duan Gang looked puzzled.
"Crash?"
Su Hong's expression changed, and then she remembered that she was hit by someone when she saw Yuan Jian at the city gate, and she gritted her teeth:
"Damn it! I know who it is."
Whoosh!
Su Hong pounced and immediately headed towards the town.
"Wait a minute. We'll go with you."
Yang Ji said quickly.
"No need."
A few feet away, Su Hong stopped and looked back at the two of them:
"I can go alone. I remember that bastard's face! Dare to steal my things? He can't escape! - You don't know him, just wait here. I'll come as soon as I go."
He said and rushed away.
Yang Ji and Duan Gang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. They really didn't know each other, so they were like "blind men touching an elephant", and their journey was in vain.
"Oh well."
Yang Ji nodded. The distance from here to the town is just a stick of incense. It doesn't take much time to get there and back.
Moreover, Su Hong is a disciple of Qigong after all, so she should be able to handle it with her strength.
Su Hong quickly disappeared from the end of the field of vision.
"Let's go sit over there."
The two sat down on a lying cow stone on the side of the road.
"Hey!——"
Not long after Su Hong disappeared, a breeze blew by, and the nearly human-tall crane Duan Gang bought suddenly shrieked uneasily.
"What's wrong with Xiaoyu? Come here quickly!"
Duan Gang sat on the Wo Niu Stone and waved his hand, trying to calm down the crane.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the newly purchased crane suddenly turned away from Duan Gang, ran two steps, flapped its wings, and immediately flew into the air. "Ah!"
Yang Ji and Duan Gang were shocked.
"Oh, that's terrible, this guy must be flying back!"
Duan Gang was very anxious. Looking at his driving posture, he was completely planning to run back to the town and put on a show of his own.
"Wait a minute, that's not right!"
Yang Ji looked into the air, his eyelids twitched, and he suddenly pulled Duan Gang:
"Look at it hovering in the air. It doesn't look like it's trying to escape. They say birds are psychic - be careful, there might be something wrong around here!"
Before the voice fell, a loud voice suddenly sounded from nearby:
"You brat, you have some talent! You can actually sense problems from a beast!——"
"Whoosh!"
Almost at the same time, a blood-red sharp arrow roared sharply from a nearby hilltop and shot toward the crane in the sky. A scream was heard as the sharp arrow passed through the belly of the crane.
Duan Gang's crane flapped its wings and immediately soared into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
"Bad Dan! Who dares to shoot my Xiaoyu!"
Duan Gang was furious. He looked in the direction where the arrow was shot.
"Laila!"
The grass trembled, figures flashed, and immediately there were several figures with powerful auras at the end of the path, and blood flowed under each one's skin.
At the same time, figures fell from the nearby hills in the direction behind Yang Ji and Duan Gang. These people were uniformly dressed in green clothes and iron crowns, and they were all disciples of the Iron Crown Sect.
Yang Ji's expression suddenly changed. He felt a huge danger from these people.
"What do you want to do?"
Yang Ji's whole body tensed up, as if facing a powerful enemy.
"Are you Yang Ji?"
At the front of these people, a young man in his twenties with stern eyes walked slowly over.
The blood energy on his body was extremely strong, and the location of his dantian rumbled like a roaring river, and it seemed like a huge furnace was humming inside.
Yang Ji immediately felt a huge pressure in his heart.
"Master! At least at the level of Senior Sister Lin, even more powerful!"
Yang Ji's expression was solemn, and he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He felt a strong murderous intention in this person. It was not the kind of hostility, but the kind that wanted to kill people.
"It turns out it's you!"
Duan Gang looked at the Tieguan Sect Taoist uniforms worn by everyone around him. Before he could react, he still shouted angrily:
"Who shot my crane just now? Come forward!"
"Duan Gang. If you take action soon, see the opportunity and run away immediately."
Yang Ji slowly backed away, touched Duan Gang with his heel, and whispered.
"ah!"
Duan Gang let out a low cry and finally realized what he was doing. He was surrounded by barren mountains and wild ridges, and the town was far out of sight. These people obviously had bad intentions.
"Hey, it's me. What can you do to me?"
A disciple in green clothes and an iron crown stood up.
Duan Gang was silent this time.
"It seems that we don't know this senior brother."
Yang Ji looked at the cold-eyed young man walking in front and said.
"Humph! If you don't know me, then you should know him."
The cold eyes of the young man blinked, and a knife-like, sword-like, heart-stopping cold light shot out from his eyes.
"Hey, Yang Ji, you didn't expect today to happen."
Almost at the same time, behind the cold-eyed young man, a figure walked out triumphantly.
He had been hiding behind the young man before, and only came out at this time.
"Thanks Lou!!"
Yang Ji's body trembled, and his face suddenly changed color.
The disciple of the Iron Crown Sect who walked out from behind the cold-eyed young man was actually "Xie Lou" who lost his position as a "disciple" after being challenged by Yang Ji.
At this moment, lightning flashed through his mind, and Yang Ji's heart sank instantly.
He suddenly understood who the cold-eyed young man in front of him was.
Xie Lou has been silent since he lost his position as a "disciple". For a full month and a half, no one heard anything about him.
Yang Ji has even forgotten him.
He never expected that Xie Lou would actually invite the senior brother behind him, "Zhao Hua", to ambush him on his way back.
——But, according to Lin Qingyan, shouldn't "Zhao Hua" be busy in retreat and prepare to deal with the "old enemy" of the Iron Sword Sect?
"Xie Lou, I have told you before. Please don't be impatient. I have my own plan to deal with him. How about that?"
Zhao Hua glanced at Yang Ji lightly and said to Xie Lou who was standing next to him.
"Elder brother is wise, Xie Lou is willing to surrender."
Xie Lou bowed his hands and bent down to the end. He raised his head and glanced at Yang Ji from the corner of his eyes, but he felt proud.
"It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It's not that he doesn't take revenge. The time has not yet come." This kid really thought that he couldn't do anything to him. What's mine is mine, and the position of "disciple who teaches the skills" is not something everyone can do.
