Jason and Cui Long Wang locked eyes.
Jason was calm.
Cui Long Wang smiled.
There wasn’t any earth-shattering aura clash.
What was there, was just—
The wind, blowing gently.
The clothes of the surrounding people fluttered.
What was there, was just—
The fish attracted by the ‘bait’ under the bridge suddenly scattered.
The lake water stirred by the fish made the sound of flowing water.
"Mu Bai, Master Mu?”
Cui Long Wang asked.
"Cui Long Wang, Big Dragon Head?”
Jason responded.
Then, the two walked toward each other, Cui Long Wang stepped off the bridge, Mu Bai walked toward the bridge.
They got closer till only three steps apart, then stopped simultaneously.
Cui Long Wang’s smile broadened.
Jason’s calm deanor remained unchanged.
"Rare, rare.”
"To unexpectedly et such a promising young hero like Master Mu.”
"Co, let’s eat.”
Cui Long Wang said, turning and making a gesture of invitation, Jason proceeded forward.
The two walked side by side towards the banquet hall in the backyard.
Leaving Cui Long N sowhat bewildered.
"Did father just admire Master Mu?”
Cui Long N looked towards Xu Dashan.
At this ti, Xu Dashan’s brows were furrowed.
As a seasoned wanderer, Xu Dashan sensed sothing different.
But he couldn’t put his finger on it.
It was quite puzzling.
"Perhaps…”
"The fish are dead!”
"Why have all these koi died?!”
Just as Xu Dashan was about to endorse what Cui Long N said, so guards from ‘Si Hai Bang’ suddenly noticed sothing amiss.
Xu Dashan and Cui Long N hurried to the lakeside.
Seeing the originally vibrant koi flipping over with their bellies up.
"This?!”
"Can it be like this?!”
Xu Dashan’s eyes widened.
"Uncle Xu, do you know what’s going on?”
Cui Long N asked curiously.
"Ten years ago, Big Dragon Head challenged ‘Knife Monarch’ outside ‘Fragrance City’ at Ten Mile Beach, neither had made a move yet, just during a stare-down, several seagulls flew across the sky, but they plumted straight down before approaching.” .
"Later, our people brought back the bodies of these seagulls for close examination and found that, despite appearing intact externally, their guts were crushed.”
"Afterwards, I once asked Big Dragon Head personally.”
"Big Dragon Head said: these seagulls had their insides shattered by the auras of himself and ‘Knife Monarch’, hence they fell.”
Xu Dashan recounted.
Instantly, Cui Long N and the surrounding ‘Si Hai Bang’ followers gasped.
Ten years ago, when Cui Long Wang and ‘Knife Monarch’ faced off, their aura shattered the seagulls’ guts.
And just now, when Cui Long Wang faced Mu Bai, the fish in the lake flipped belly up.
Doesn’t that an Mu Bai…
Possesses the sa strength as ‘Big Dragon Head’?!
The mont this thought entered their minds, everyone refused to believe it.
‘Ripper’ Mu Bai, was highly reputed in ‘Mountain City’, yet his fa diminished outside ‘Mountain City’, most didn’t know, only the well-inford knew.
Especially for the ‘Si Hai Bang’ mbers.
Cui Long Wang was akin to a Deity.
Even a source of belief itself.
Though defeated by ‘Knife Monarch’, the respect was still intact.
The respect grew even more so.
Because ‘Knife Monarch’ was acknowledged as one of the top nine fighters globally.
In fact, in the last ten years, ‘Big Dragon Head’ Cui Long Wang was the only one to have faced ‘Knife Monarch’ and survived.
As for the others?
All were cut down by ‘Knife Monarch’.
Therefore, ‘Si Hai Bang’ followers were imnsely proud of their leader for surviving.
And now, a young man suddenly stood neck and neck with their leader.
Even if it was just a thought, they couldn’t accept it.
They even considered it absurd.
"The Gang Leader must have shown rcy.”
"That’s right.”
"That must be the case.”
‘Si Hai Bang’ followers thought.
Xu Dashan and Cui Long N thought the sa.
Only Dou Bao was different.
Dou Bao snorted at the ‘Si Hai Bang’ followers’ thoughts.
What was this about being evenly matched with ‘Big Dragon Head’ Cui Long Wang?
If her Master would strike, ‘Big Dragon Head’ Cui Long Wang would certainly be no match.
This wasn’t just subjective emotions.
But seen from her mory of her father and mother’s confrontation, that was the only confrontation she rembered, normally her father followed her mother’s lead all the ti, but they argued once over the sweetness versus saltiness of soy milk.
Her father insisted soy milk should be salty.
Her mother thought soy milk should be sweet.
Then the confrontation began.
Though the beginning was the end.
She could tell, the seemingly equal confrontation, her father’s aura had already fallen short.
And since then, their soy milk was only sweet.
Just now, it was the sa when her Master and ‘Big Dragon Head’ Cui Long Wang confronted.
Dou Bao could see, ‘Big Dragon Head’ Cui Long Wang had fallen short.
Moreover…
Sothing about him seed off.
Like mapo tofu missing minced at, off.
However, these were trivial.
Dou Bao believed her Master would handle everything well.
And herself?
"Sister Cui, don’t waste the dead fish, let’s salvage them and make grilled fish, braised fish, spicy fish, and fish soup.”
Dou Bao suggested.
"But these are ornantal fish.”
Cui Long N was rather tempted, but still hesitated.
"Ornantal fish taste better, see how each is so plump, on the grill, brushed with oil, cooked over charcoal, sprinkled with cumin, sesa, and chili powder, the flavors…”
