Great River Three Heroes, Yin Yang Twin Evils

"What the hell, what a coincidence?"

Lin Xiao was so startled that his chopsticks almost fell to the ground. That chopstick was clearly thrown by a subordinate behind the noble young master, and he was holding another one in his hand now.

A bully picking on a beautiful, unusual singing girl, a hero saving the damsel. With these two things together, Lin Xiao had a bad feeling. He lowered his voice and said to the others, "I think something's wrong, let's go quickly."

Xu Bing and the others looked back at him strangely and said, "What's wrong with this? It's just a mere bully picking on an innocent woman. Besides, the people behind this young master are all experts from our gang. He must be the son of some important figure in our gang. What danger could there be?"

Lin Xiao...

He was speechless. He couldn't possibly say that he guessed it from watching too many movies and reading too many novels, could he?

They didn't want to leave, and he couldn't leave alone. He glanced around and saw that their table was by the window. He kept it in mind, preparing to jump out the window and leave if the situation turned bad.

Meanwhile, the two bullies also had some discernment. Seeing that the noble young master recognized them, they ignored their injured hands and immediately knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly.

"We didn't know it was Young Master Yun in person. We are deserving of death. We beg Young Master Yun to spare our lives, as we are all members of the Great River Gang."

The noble young master didn't even look at the two of them. Instead, an old man with a goatee behind him waved his hand. The two quickly thanked him and helped each other up as they left.

At this moment, the old man playing the erhu quickly bowed to the noble young master.

"This old man thanks Young Master Yun."

The woman also curtsied gracefully and said crisply, "This humble woman thanks Young Master Yun for saving her. If Young Master Yun hadn't arrived, I fear I would have been bullied by that ruffian and would have had to die to preserve my honor. I cannot repay such great kindness and virtue. I wish to offer myself to you to repay your life-saving grace."

"Tsk tsk!"

Lin Xiao muttered to himself, "So damn realistic. If you're handsome, they'll offer themselves to you. If they don't like you, they'll offer to be your ox or horse in the next life."

Of course, he didn't dare to say this out loud. It would be bad if anyone heard him.

This Young Master Yun seemed quite fond of the beautiful maiden. He closed his exquisite bamboo fan and stepped forward, preparing to help the maiden up, saying, "You are too kind, miss. Such a ruffian daring to forcibly abduct an innocent young girl in broad daylight, any chivalrous person would... BOOM!"

A sudden muffled sound startled Lin Xiao, who was engrossed in watching the show. Upon closer inspection, the noble young master, who was about to help the maiden, and the maiden, who was acting shy, both looked up. One with a smile, the other in shock. A blast of air between them exploded, sending both of them flying back two meters. The blast of air caused their robes to fly backward, flapping loudly.

"You have good skills, miss!"

The noble young master retracted his posture of helping. He flicked his exquisite bamboo fan open with a swish and fanned it a few times before saying in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, you two should be the infamous Yin Yang Twin Evils of the martial world."

The maiden also slowly stood up. The delicate and pitiable aura she exuded vanished, and a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes. She said, "Young Master Yun has sharp eyes. I've long heard that Young Master Yun, among the Great River Three Heroes, has profound cultivation and is no weaker than the leader of the Great River Gang. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation. This humble woman is impressed."

Young Master Yun held his exquisite bamboo fan and cupped his fists.

"It's just the kindness of people in the martial world. May I ask why Miss Yin Sha is waiting for me here today?"

The woman didn't speak. Instead, the old man playing the erhu stepped forward and said, "The Salt Gang has offered a reward of 100,000 taels of silver for the head of any one of the Great River Three Heroes. My wife and I are short on cash lately and would like to borrow Young Master Yun's head."

What the hell, these two are married?

Lin Xiao was so shocked his teeth almost fell out. This wasn't just a flower stuck in cow dung; it was like being inserted into fresh dung and then taken out – over-dunged.

Young Master Yun seemed to have expected this. He smiled and said, "Many people want to take my life, but I've been living quite well. I just don't know if you two have the ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao knew it was bad. He grabbed his three companions and shouted, "Let's go!"

With that, he leaped up and smashed through the window, jumping out. As soon as he landed, he heard a piercing erhu sound from inside the restaurant. Then, he saw the air ripple, and a tangible sound wave swept through. Xu Ji, who was about to jump out after him, was directly cut in half by an invisible sound wave in mid-air. His upper body jumped out, while his lower body fell back into the restaurant, splattering blood all over the window.

Xu Bing and Ji Zitao were even slower. He only heard a series of screams from inside the restaurant, including their voices. They must have died.

"Son of a bitch."

Lin Xiao was terrified. He just came for a meal and ran into a fight between experts. A fight is a fight, but the key is that they were too far above him, he didn't even have the qualification to watch.

He didn't know the situation inside now. He only heard a series of muffled bangs and the sound of the erhu. The wooden outer wall of the restaurant was occasionally smashed through, creating a hole, or a large gash was cut into it. He didn't dare to go back and look. He glanced at the dead Xu Ji with his eyes wide open in disbelief, then turned and ran.

He hadn't run a hundred meters when he saw a group of burly men in Great River Gang uniforms patrolling the street ahead. He quickly went up to stop them and said, "Someone is trying to kill Young Master Yun, at Tianxiang Tower."

The leader of the burly men was startled and quickly called out to his subordinates, "Brothers, follow me."

A large group of people rushed over. Lin Xiao thought for a moment and followed them from a distance.

A large group of people rushed to the front of Tianxiang Tower. The main entrance was blown open by a blast of air. Several cold lights flew out, and the Great River Gang thugs who rushed to the entrance immediately fell down in a pile. It was unclear whether the Yin Yang Twin Evils had attacked or if they were accidentally injured by the Young Master Yun inside. In any case, it scared the people behind them, and they hesitated to charge in.

The leader of the burly men was also slightly injured. His eyes flickered with indecision. He reached into his chest, pulled out a bamboo tube, and pulled it. Amidst the whistling sound, a ball of fire shot into the sky, emitting a loud 'bang'. A huge ball of fire also flashed in the sky.

This was the Great River Gang's distress signal. Lin Xiao could see several ordinary patrolling gang members rushing over from the street. This time, he didn't dare to flee and could only curse inwardly as he mixed into the crowd:

"Damn it, I run into something this exciting right after leaving the mountains."

It was like encountering a major boss right after leaving the novice village, which left him speechless.

More and more Great River Gang members saw the signal and rushed over, while the battle inside Tianxiang Tower entered its climax. Waves of sound broke through the wooden walls and rushed out. Occasionally, the wooden pillars supporting the small building were cut down, and the building began to shake precariously, looking like it would collapse. Through the holes and cracks that were cut open, Lin Xiao could vaguely see the battle inside. It seemed the Yin Yang Twin Evils had the upper hand.

Especially the Yin Sha woman. The veil on her face had disappeared, revealing an extremely beautiful countenance. The only pity was a scar on her left cheek that slightly marred her appearance, but not significantly. At least, most men wouldn't mind such a scar.

Her martial arts were incredibly potent, no less than the renowned Young Master Yun of Linjiang Prefecture. Her speed, in particular, was astonishingly fast. Even with Young Master Yun and two other subordinates ganging up on her, they couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.
