Waiting for You to Come
When Gongsun Zhi and Gongsun Yang arrived at the vandalized Renzi shop, only a little over fifteen minutes had passed since the incident.
The Lihuo Sect members, along with a team of law enforcement officers, arrived in a large group of dozens, and the crowd of onlookers was immediately dispersed.
In Tianwu City, the law enforcement team is quite powerful. There are few troublemakers in Tianwu City, but once a troublemaker does occur, the law enforcement team will be dispatched and will surely crush the enemy with ease!
Especially now that the enforcement team has also included members of the Lihuo Sect, this matter will definitely be resolved soon, and those who caused trouble will be in trouble too.
Seeing the chaotic scene before him, and more than a dozen Lihuo Sect disciples lying on the ground like dead pigs, Gongsun Yang clenched his wrists, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He had initially thought that the steward who reported to them might have exaggerated the situation, but now it seemed that the truth was far worse!
They crippled over a dozen of them in one go! How dare they!
"Young Master Zhi, Young Master Yang, you must stand up for your subordinate!"
Upon seeing Gongsun Yang and Gongsun Zhi, and especially the enforcement team from Tianwu City, the horse-faced youth crawled over with difficulty, tears streaming down his face.
Upon seeing the horse-faced youth, Gongsun Yang's face flashed with disdain and disgust. He coldly said, "Useless!"
Standing beside Gongsun Yang, Gongsun Zhi smiled and asked, "Who beat you up like this? Where did they go?"
The horse-faced youth, spitting out blood, struggled to describe Yi Yun's appearance and the cause of the incident.
Of course, he wouldn't admit that he was greedy for money, but instead completely shifted the blame to Yi Yun.
He now only hoped that there was even the slightest chance that he would be rescued by the sect. Yi Yun, he couldn't wait to see his corpse laid out in front of him.
"Going back on something that's already been sold? And daring to forcibly take it away? This person deserves to die!"
Gongsun Yang stretched his neck, his joints making a "pop pop pop" sound. He had been recuperating from his injury for two months and was looking forward to getting some exercise!
Perfect timing, someone's delivered right to my door!
They soon learned where Yi Yun had gone— the Six Swords Inn.
"Hmph, you think the Six Swords Inn can protect you? How naive! This blind fool, we'll go and take care of him right now!"
Gongsun Yang spoke, he glanced at the groaning horse-faced youth on the ground and said coldly, "Take him with you and find the person!"
Gongsun Yang and his entourage marched in a grand procession toward the Six Swords Inn.
They marched down the street, exuding a murderous aura and making a great show of force, attracting the attention of many martial artists who then followed them.
Gongsun Yang walked at the front, his face gloomy and a cold smile on his lips.
When the troublemakers left their Lihuo Sect shop, they left the door wide open and arrogantly departed, leaving many people standing at the door looking on.
Now he was going to teach this man a lesson and make his miserable state a public spectacle. He not only intended to punish him severely in front of everyone, but also to hang his corpse up as a warning.
Only in this way can he salvage the reputation of his Lihuo Sect and make the people of Tianwu City notice him, Gongsun Yang, so that they won't all treat him like he's invisible.
In the blink of an eye, several hundred people had gathered behind Gongsun Yang and his group, and at that moment, the Six Swords Inn was right in front of them.
"The enforcement team is here. What's going on?"
The guests in the inn's lobby all looked surprised.
Gongsun Yang stepped through the gate, flashing his token. "The Lihuo Sect and the Tianwu City Enforcement Team have come to arrest the criminal Jiang Yi Dao! Jiang Yi Dao, come out and face your death!"
By this time, some of the people who had come to watch the commotion had already told the unsuspecting guests in the inn what had happened.
These people were all speechless. Judging from the Lihuo Sect, this Jiang Yi Dao was doomed today. However, daring to provoke the Lihuo Sect was his own fault for being blind, and he had no one else to blame but himself.
"Jiang Yi Dao, you dare hit me? Come out and face your death!"
The horse-faced youth also shouted at the top of his lungs. As he shouted, the pain from all his wounds was intense, but at this moment, the pain was nothing to him.
I just wanted to vent my anger!
He hated Jiang Yi Dao to the core. Now that someone has come to his aid, he will make Jiang Yi Dao pay ten times the price!
Seeing this, the innkeeper quickly came to Gongsun Yang and the others.
The innkeeper, representing the Six Swords Alliance, showed some deference to the enforcement team, but he wasn't overly humble. "Gentlemen, it's fine if you're carrying out your duties, but please don't damage the Six Swords Inn Six Swords Alliance's inn, and try to avoid bloodshed here, so as not to disturb our guests."
"Don't worry, I'll naturally drag Jiang Yi Dao out and beat him up." Gongsun Yang smiled and said casually, showing that he didn't care much about the Six Swords Alliance.
"By the way, I wonder which room Jiang Yi Dao is hiding in right now?" he asked again.
Whether it was Gongsun Yang or the others present, they all felt that Jiang Yi Dao had come to the Six Swords Inn specifically to avoid trouble, and now, seeing this scene, he would definitely cower in his room, not daring to take a single step out.
After learning the whole story, the shopkeeper immediately sent his assistant to check on the situation. Hearing Gongsun Yang's question, he turned to look in the direction of the stairs.
At that moment, the scout who had been sent to investigate ran down the stairs.
"So, which room is he hiding in?" Gongsun Yang lightly dusted off his sleeves.
The waiter glanced at Gongsun Yang, then at the shopkeeper, swallowed hard, and said, "He... he's not in the room..."
"Hmm? They've already escaped?" Gongsun Yang's expression darkened.
"No... no, sir, he's having tea in a private room on the second floor."
"Want some tea?"
Gongsun Yang's eyes widened.
They came charging in aggressively, and this guy, who'd got some nerve, actually had the mind to drink tea?
Doesn't he know his end is near?
A group of people rushed upstairs with a rumble. Fortunately, the main staircase of the Six Swords Inn was wide enough and the building materials were extraordinary. Otherwise, such a group of martial artists rushing up would have caused it to collapse.
Upon reaching the second floor, the tea drinkers who had been mentioned earlier all moved away to avoid getting into trouble. Thus, without the horse-faced youth pointing them out, in a corner of the teahouse, at a solitary table, a young man in a blue robe was slowly stirring a covered bowl of flower tea and leisurely sipping it.
What was originally a normal, leisurely tea-drinking action for tea drinkers now appears extremely arrogant.
Gongsun Yang and Gongsun Zhi were both stunned by the sight. Gongsun Zhi laughed angrily, "Waiting for us? What audacity!"
Gongsun Yang also wanted to curse, but he stopped himself from speaking.
From his current angle, he could only see Yi Yun's back and a tiny bit of his face. For some reason, however, this back view suddenly seemed somewhat familiar to him.
Have I seen this person before?
