Jiang Yi Dao

Yi Yun turned his head and saw a young man with a long face grinning at Yi Yun, seemingly amused by Yi Yun reaction.

"I was furious when I saw the wanted poster. Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong are scum! But to be fair, Lin Xin Tong is quite pretty. The wanted poster also said she has Pure Yin Body, a top-grade furnace, a million times better than those concubines who are only there for sexual exploitation!"

As the horse-faced youth spoke, he gave Yi Yun a knowing look that any man could understand.

A flash of murderous intent appeared in Yi Yun's eyes, but it slowly faded away. He hadn't been able to hide the anger in his heart, but the other party had mistaken it for the righteous indignation of a hot-blooded young man.

"The flame symbol... people from the Lihuo Sect..."

Yi Yun narrowed his eyes, confirming the identity of the horse-faced youth. Being near the Lihuo Sect's shop, he was naturally a member of the Lihuo Sect.

"What's your name, sir?"

Yi Yun looked at the horse-faced youth with a smile, his voice gentle, making it impossible to sense the coldness within.

"Haha, my name is Gongsun Lai, the person in charge of the Lihuo Sect Huo Sect's Ren-character shop in Tianwu City. I think this friend of yours has a solid foundation, and it's fate that we met. How about coming to take a look at my Lihuo Sect's shop?"

The horse-faced youth said with some arrogance. He was only about thirty years old. The Lihuo Sect only had three or five shops in Tianwu City. He was able to manage one shop, so he must have some ability.

He was being so polite because he saw that Yi Yun had a solid foundation and seemed to have some strength. For a businessman like him, it was always good to be well-connected. Getting to know more people was just a matter of a few words, and who knows, he might be able to use them in the future? At the very least, it could bring in some business.

He wouldn't bother with just anyone.

"Good!"

Yi Yun surprisingly agreed without hesitation. Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, the horse-faced youth had no idea what he was thinking. He cheerfully chatted with Yi Yun for a while about the wanted poster, because he noticed that Yi Yun seemed somewhat interested in it. The best secret to getting along with people is to cater to their interests.

"Speaking of Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong, they are truly the scum of the earth. They plotted and framed others, and were despicable and shameless, causing the deaths of many geniuses in my Lihuo Sect. Now, the Lineage has already set up a large formation in the South China Sea, which can be described as a net that can cover tens of thousands of miles. Not even a fly can escape the eyes of my Lineage elders. Once these two scoundrels appear, they will definitely be caught!"

"What a pity... I can only manage a few shops in Tianwu City and can't go to the South China Sea. Otherwise, I would be so happy to have taken all the credit, hahaha! Not to mention the Empress Inheritance and those rewards, just that little girl Lin Xin Tong, tsk tsk!"

The horse-faced youth spoke with a lewd grin. He was naturally lecherous, and his business acumen led him to believe that when trying to build rapport with men, telling them more about women and crude jokes would make them more approachable.

Unfortunately... he was completely wrong this time.

"By the way, brother, I don't even know your name yet," Gongsun Lai asked Yi Yun.

Yi Yun smiled slightly and said calmly, "My surname is Jiang, and as for my given name... I haven't used it in a long time. When I was in the South China Sea, I only had one title..."

Yi Yun casually changed his surname to that of his sister Jiang Xiaorou.

When the horse-faced youth heard that Yi Yun mingled in the South China Sea, his eyebrows twitched imperceptibly. The South China Sea was a remote and desolate place; most people who frequented it were not very capable. Could it be that he had misjudged this black-clad youth and he was actually just a good-for-nothing with a showy appearance?

If that's the case, why waste my breath talking to him?

Why should he, the head of a prestigious shop in the Lihuo Sect, waste his time arguing with a good-for-nothing?

What is that title?

The horse-faced youth asked perfunctorily, though he had already lost much interest.

"My title is... Jiang Yi Dao), because when I face a martial artist of the same level, no matter who I encounter, I never need to use a second strike. One strike is enough to defeat my opponent."

Yi Yun said this very calmly, as if he were talking about something trivial like "I just ate."

Upon hearing this, the horse-faced youth's eyes widened in surprise.

This guy! Is he an idiot?

The horse-faced youth was no stranger to madmen. Many geniuses who came to Tianwu City were arrogant and unrestrained. As a businessman, he always carefully accompanied these people and bragged along with them.

But these madmen often have real skills.

The guy in front of me, judging from his clothes, was just average. He came from this remote corner of the South China Sea. He was not only unsophisticated, but he also tried to show off.

It's one thing to pretend, but to pretend to be so calm and collected, so matter-of-fact.

Jiang Yi Dao?

You're fucking kidding me!

They really think they're something special!

The horse-faced youth suddenly felt that he had done something really stupid—talking to an idiot for so long.

He was too lazy to pay attention to Yi Yun anymore. Just then, a thought struck him, and he smiled, "South China Sea... I remember now. No wonder it seemed familiar. A few days ago, some idiot came to the Lin family and injured several of my Lihuo Sect's peripheral disciples who were patrolling the Lin family, but then went out and bragged about it!"

"He claims to be only at the Dao Seed Realm, yet he defeated the combined attack of three Kaiyuan Realm elders, including those from my Lihuo Sect and the Shentu Family. Are all the martial artists in the South Sea so ignorant? Dao Seed Realm against three Kaiyuan Realm elders? That's hilarious! Hahahaha!"

The horse-faced youth burst into laughter; his words were a sarcastic jab at Yi Yun.

You're just showing off, aren't you? Let me tell you what kind of people the martial artists from the South China Sea are—they're all idiots!

"Dao Seed Realm defeating the combined attack of three Kaiyuan Realm elders?"

Yi Yun was amused upon hearing this.

This horse-faced youth had no idea that this so-called rumor was actually true.

Although the horse-faced youth managed the Renzi shop and held a respectable position, he was still inferior to the core disciples of the Lihuo Sect!

The core disciples are all cultivating at the Lihuo Sect, how could they possibly be sent out to do business?

Therefore, the horse-faced youth had no idea about this confidential information of the Lihuo Sect.

To avoid losing face in the Tianyuan Realm, the Lihuo Sect had already kept the news under wraps. Not only were the outer disciples unaware of it, but even many of the sect's Outer Elder were oblivious to it.

Family scandals should not be aired in public. When the other disciples of the Lihuo Sect heard such rumors, coupled with their own Lineage's denial, they naturally laughed their heads off.

However, no matter how much the horse-faced youth mocked him, Yi Yun remained indifferent, clearly not taking it to heart at all.

The horse-faced youth was stunned. Was this guy incredibly thick-skinned, or just plain stupid? He hadn't even realized he was being mocked?

That's absolutely amazing! (To be continued~^~)
