Chapter 868: Made a Partner In Cri
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qian Duoduo’s plump cheeks jiggled as he cried out indignantly, “A scholar who’s been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. How do you know that I won’t be the one to kill the both of you then? Then and now are different tis.”
As he spoke, his gaze fleeted over to Yun Yang but he did not say anything more.
The tall man was unaffected as he replied faintly, “According to the Bound of Universe’s law, we’re here to rob you. We can only take your fortune and not your life. You, as the victim, can, of course, defend yourself however you want, including killing us in self-defense. However… are you able to kill us? A scholar who’s been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes - too bad we’ve only been away for a short while. This idiom isn’t even suited for us!”
Yun Yang rolled his eyes.
Qian Duoduo’s protest was clearly ant for him -”They can’t kill , but we can kill them, it won’t infringe the Bound of Universe’s law!”
In spite of this, who were ‘we’? The fatty wanted to make Yun Yang his partner in cri! The latter honestly had no intention of provoking such a nuisance, thus he took a few more steps back and was ready to leave at any mont.
After all, he had just arrived in this realm. The information he had received was too limited. It was best if he could stay away from anything outside of the plan. Otherwise, Yun Yang would have slaughtered Qian Duoduo when he ambushed him earlier. It was because he had just co to the Bound of Universe that he did not do so. He knew very well how severe the consequences would be if one thing triggered another.
An ordinary looking fellow could carry a massively different background behind him. Yun Yang was a new Ascended. He knew too little about this world. It would be extrely unwise to make any enemies now. His current plan was to acquire a general picture of the Bound of Universe, its distribution of forces and the overt as well as covert rules it imposed. After that, he would cultivate in imrsion to increase his ability so more before he entered the martial world and seek opportunities to climb the martial ladder.
The Bound of Universe was different from Tianxuan Continent. Yun Yang was without the Nine Heavens Dictum’s intelligence support nor did he have Empire of Yutang’s assistance. He had to depend on himself. Not only did he have to plant his feet on the ground and carry each step out practically, but he also had to be cautious, like he was walking on ice!
To recklessly find fault when he did not have any basis to do so and not even the least amount of knowledge of this world… Yun Yang would never do such a thing.
In spite of this, the vicissitudes of life ant that nothing was predictable. There was a saying that one was not afraid of sothing bad that happened for it would be worse if one t soone bad!
When Qian Duoduo saw Yun Yang’s movent, he was prompt and decisively pointed a finger at Yun Yang.
“He has snatched the Rid Orchid. What can you do to now?”
He sounded like a thug but he was, in truth, pushing the responsibility away. Otherwise, he would have said that the flower was snatched by soone else and not point fingers directly at Yun Yang. It was apparent that he intended for Yun Yang to be dragged into the ss.
The pair’s gazes shot over like lightning strikes as fiendish smiles tugged at the corners of their mouths. They were robbing Qian Duoduo and due to the law’s restriction, they dared not kill him. With the intervention of a third party, however, the situation was different. This was an additional bandit; it would beco bandit killing bandit. There was no restriction of law factored, thus making it easier for the pair to make their move!
“Child…”
Before the lean and tall one could finish what he was saying, Yun Yang did sothing that caught the three people by surprise.
He retrieved the jade box that contained the Rid Orchid and opened it, exposing the Effervescent Rid Orchid before saying, “It’s this orchid, correct?”
He then closed the jade box and ‘swoosh’, went the box as his arm swung. The jade container landed in Qian Duoduo’s embrace. The latter’s jaw dropped, panicking as he held the jade box.
‘How did - how did the Rid Orchid co back to , just like this?’
‘You’re a f*cking third level Honor!’
‘Third level Honor!’
‘Where’s your courage?’
‘Where’s your sense of responsibility?’
‘And - and… where’s your dignity?’
Yun Yang spoke casually, “Back to where we were, you’ve already fulfilled my request. OF course, I must return you the flower. There you go, the orchid’s yours now. Nothing here concerns anymore. I bid my leave, everyone.”
Although Qian Duoduo had yet to finish telling him about Bound of Universe, he could find anyone to complete the task. There was no need for him to confront an enemy whose capability he had no idea of for the fatty. Yun Yang was very levelheaded and turned to leave, not even a sliver of hesitation in his movent.
Hugging the jade box that held the Rid Orchid, the fatty was crying badly, despite regaining his possession. He was befuddled.
‘Why is there a plot twist like this?’
‘I’ve never seen sothing like this throughout the many years I’ve road this martial world!’
The tall and lean man’s gaze glead as he suddenly called out to stop Yun Yang, “Hold on right there!”
“Handso, where are you going!” The fat one beside the forr man sprung up and blocked Yun Yang’s way.
A frown appeared between Yun Yang’s brows.
“What do you want?”
He stayed away from mortal affairs, but they had co to him; he did not want any trouble but trouble ca skipping to him anyway.
The fat shorty scoffed, “You want to leave after seeing our transaction? There’s no such advantage in this world.”
“I actually don’t understand why you want to stop ,” Yun Yang sighed and said, “Your goal is to rob Qian Duoduo’s Rid Orchid, but you won’t kill him in the process. This ans that there’s no worry of spreading the news. If Qian Duoduo wanted to, he’d think of his ways to broadcast this incident. Qian Duoduo and I aren’t together, I don’t think you can’t see through this. This also ans that I won’t fight you two for him. Lastly and most importantly, you and I, we don’t know each other. You don’t know the level of my ability as well; aren’t you afraid of a sticky ss? It’s best not to branch out into more trouble when you’re onto sothing serious. It’s impossible that you don’t understand such a simple theory!”
“What you say is correct but useless. Leave the wealth you carry on you and chop off your legs before you can go,” the short fatty chuckled nacingly and barked his instructions.
Yun Yang raised his head lightly. During that mont, a stark realization struck him. It was true that one could only either rob or kill but that was not the absolute end to it because any law had its loophole.
For example, these two people here would not actually kill him or Qian Duoduo, but they would very likely severe his legs. How could soone who lost both his legs and his belonging survive in this martial world that thrived on risk?
Whether the man was ultimately eaten by a beast or killed by others, the two initial culprits would have avoided the lawful constraints as they were the ones who originally killed the victim…
“There are many clever n in this world, but so assu themselves to be clever while so are actually smart…” Yun Yang sighed and glanced at Qian Duoduo.
It seed that he had been made this fatty’s partner in cri today. It was the fatty’s wishful thinking, but it was indulged passively by Yun Yang.
Qian Duoduo perked up instantly as he made a little celebratory dance.
“Boss, kill these two jerks!”
The fat and thin pair were on guard at once. Staring at Yun Yang, they spoke, “Our mistake. You’re actually Qian Duoduo’s boss. How impolite of us.”
Yun Yang smiled without any sincerity and replied, “No need to say more. Let see how capable you clever ones actually are.”
With a sharp gasp, his saber was pulled out of its scabbard. The tip was pointed towards the bandit pair as Yun Yang said, “I do not wish to speak another word to the both of you. Move quickly if you want, less nonsense!”
