Chapter 27: Yu Xiao Gang Shifts the Trouble Elsewhere!!
Endure!
Yu Xiao Gang endured.
These Twin Stars of Clear Sky... I, Yu Xiao Gang, want to see exactly what you intend to do.
You're putting on quite an act. Heh...
"Ha ha ha! Any woman who catches Brother Yu's eye must surely be breathtakingly beautiful."
Tang Xiao laughed heartily and spoke with carefree bluntness.
Yu Xiao Gang's mouth twitched. Heh, people from your Clear Sky Sect are pursuing her yourselves, yet you're still putting on an act in front of me?
Sure enough, no one from the Clear Sky Sect was any good.
"Let's not talk about that. May I ask what brings you two to Coconut Grove City...?"
Yu Xiao Gang hurriedly cut them off. If this continued, he was going to lose his temper...
At Yu Xiao Gang's words, Tang Xiao suddenly remembered something.
He took out the book that several Scent Luring Wolves had sniffed—and that Yang Wudi had torn—from his storage Soul Tool.
"Brother Yu, you're well-traveled and knowledgeable. Take a look—do you recognize this book?"
As Tang Xiao spoke, he handed the book to Yu Xiao Gang!
The moment Yu Xiao Gang saw it, one glance was enough to confirm it.
This was his book!
Damn it!
It really was them. The ones from that night really had been from the Clear Sky Sect.
He had originally wondered whether someone might have been impersonating the Clear Sky Sect. He had even investigated in secret for a long time, yet found nothing.
Now, the truth was out.
You people from the Clear Sky Sect stole my book, crippled me, and now you're pretending not to know anything. You really had this all planned out.
Shameless. Despicable. You deserved to die, Clear Sky Sect. What a fine Clear Sky Sect you were indeed!!
Suppressing the fury in his heart, Yu Xiao Gang pretended not to know anything.
Since you two wanted to keep acting, then I'd see how long you could keep it up.
You humiliated me, Yu Xiao Gang, and now you've come here to play the good guys. Just watch how I deal with you...
Pretending to know nothing, Yu Xiao Gang slowly began flipping through the book, observing their expressions as he read.
The more Yu Xiao Gang looked, the more he realized... they did not seem to be acting... They seemed to truly not recognize him?
Had he guessed wrong?
You brought the book you stole from me to ask me about it. Did you two really not know, or were you pretending not to know?
Looking at them... they seemed a little stupid, and not as though they were acting.
For a moment, Yu Xiao Gang felt conflicted...
No, no!
From just now until now, hadn't these two fools... gone too far with their act?
Yu Xiao Gang forcibly calmed himself and kept thinking. Then, he seemed to realize something. "The ones who crippled me were from the Clear Sky Sect. But if these two brutes were pretending not to know me just to humiliate me, wouldn't that be looking down on me, Yu Xiao Gang, too much?"
"Or perhaps... they don't know?"
"In other words... these two idiots don't recognize me??"
"If that's the case... ha ha ha ha!!!"
"I'll collect some interest from you for the humiliation the Clear Sky Sect inflicted on me!!!"
As he thought it over, Yu Xiao Gang understood. These two brutes clearly truly did not recognize him.
As for who had told them to bring the book to find him, Yu Xiao Gang could not care less. Anyone from the Clear Sky Sect was his enemy!!
Judging by how these two idiots looked, they did not seem to be faking it. In that case, they could not blame him for shifting the trouble onto them.
At first, Yu Xiao Gang had thought the Tang Hao brothers knew about this matter, but now it seemed that they did not. They truly appeared not to recognize him... Excellent. That meant he could trick them properly.
Still, just to be safe, Yu Xiao Gang decided to confirm it once more.
After a while, Yu Xiao Gang slowly said, "I... find it a little familiar. I think I may have seen it somewhere!"
The moment he said this, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao immediately changed their expressions again—from disdain to politeness, and now to anticipation...
Yu Xiao Gang deliberately glanced at the two of them. These brothers seemed... genuinely a little stupid. They did not seem to be acting. They truly did not know the book was his, and it also seemed to be their first time meeting him.
"Let me think!" Yu Xiao Gang said deliberately. There was no rush, anyway.
He could just make something up.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao waited for quite some time, their expectant gazes fixed on Yu Xiao Gang.
Yu Xiao Gang sneered inwardly. "Good, good, good. Since it's real, don't blame me. Who told your Clear Sky Sect to go too far first?!"
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Xiao Gang finally said, "It seems... it seems..."
"Where?" ×2
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!!"
"Yes, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I've seen handwriting like this in one of their shops."
Yu Xiao Gang spoke with great seriousness, putting on a flawless act.
"Brother Yu, are you certain?"
Tang Xiao asked skeptically. This matter was of great importance, and there was no room for carelessness. He had to confirm it once more.
Yu Xiao Gang snorted disdainfully to himself. These two really were cautious. But anyone Yu Xiao Gang wanted to deceive had never escaped being deceived!!
Yu Xiao Gang nodded. "I'm certain."
"You can see that there's something wrong with my cultivation, so I've been searching for a solution."
"During that time, I read many books. The annotations and notes in this one are very similar to those I saw at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
Yu Xiao Gang spoke methodically, his face brimming with sincerity, leaving Tang Hao and the other unable to detect the slightest trace of deceit.
I, Yu Xiao Gang, am the most "honest" person there is.
"Thank you, Brother Yu!"
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao exchanged a glance. Just as expected—Coconut Grove City really was a wonderful place. There were so many good people here.
They had encountered such a kind person as soon as they arrived, and found their lead right away.
"You're welcome. If you don't believe me, you can visit their library. There should be notes that are quite similar."
Yu Xiao Gang said with a fake smile.
How could there not be? After leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, he had gone there himself. Hmph! He had left annotations behind—how could there possibly be none?
Look at these two brutes. I hope you won't disappoint me!!
Hehehe...
Of the two sides, Yu Xiao Gang simply wanted revenge against the Clear Sky Sect, while Tang Xiao and Tang Hao simply believed Yu Xiao Gang was helping them. They had no idea that the book belonged to the very man standing before them.
The two Tang brothers also had no idea that someone had already taught Yu Xiao Gang a lesson in the name of the Clear Sky Sect.
Nor did they know that their appearance had made Yu Xiao Gang even more certain of it.
"Big Brother, since that's the case, let's pay the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a visit!!"
Tang Hao immediately flared up. So it was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—they had some nerve.
"Since that's settled, Brother Yu, the two of us will head over first and won't trouble you any longer."
"When we return, we'll come drink with you!"
Tang Xiao smiled as he bid Yu Xiao Gang farewell, polite and courteous.
Yu Xiao Gang returned his smile, though his own looked somewhat fake and sinister.
Watching the two men leave, Yu Xiao Gang grew even more smug. "Go on, go on..."
"Big Brother, do you really believe that trash?" Tang Hao finally asked.
"I do. He's the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Do you think he'd offend us?"
"Besides, won't we know once we go take a look?"
"I think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't refuse to let us look, will they?"
Tang Xiao spoke confidently. The Upper Three Sects were connected by common breath and branches; such a small matter should not be difficult.
Tang Hao nodded. That was true. If he dared deceive them... heh, my Clear Sky Hammer doesn't care whether he's from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect or not.
