I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 723: Chapter Seventeen: Longxi Motorcade

After several years of intense “cultivation,” the swordsman of Yuanzhou had come a long way, not only in terms of combat prowess but also in arts of the bedroom. However, this didn’t change the fact that he was impoverished.

Whenever it came to paying the bill, he would pull out the token of Dao Child of Martial Saint Mountain and say that it should be charged to Bu Xiao’s account. The brothel owner would be dumbfounded upon seeing the token of Dao Child of Martial Saint Mountain, and didn’t dare to actually go to Bifang Mountain to collect the debt.

In this way, while Bu Xiao thought that Xu Clan’s Elder was still indulging in the beautiful scenery of the Ten Saint Mountains, the brothel owners didn’t dare to go to Martial Saint Mountain for money. Thus, the disappearance of the Dao Child of the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou did not attract anyone’s attention.

But a secret can’t be kept forever. Not all brothels would be dumbstruck upon seeing the token of Martial Saint Mountain, and there were still some people who believed in the moral standards of Martial Saint Mountain.

After all, the strong ones on Martial Saint Mountain were a group of martial arts fanatics who were engrossed in their research. The current Dao Child, Bu Xiao, was even more famous in Kunwu County for acting on behalf of Martial Saint Mountain.

Who would believe that a lofty holy land traveler could be friends with a debauched client? When the smart owner of Spring Fragrance Pavilion saw the token displayed by Xu Lao Ying, she cunningly held steady in front of the conman and instructed the bailiff to report to the Arbitration Office.

When the arbitrator of the Arbitration Office heard that someone actually dared to pretend to be saint’s friend and swagger about with the Dao Child’s token, he was quite shocked. He immediately rushed to the Spring Fragrance Pavilion with several teams of arbitrators.

Thus, the Saint Child of the Xu Clan was surrounded before he had a chance to start the second round. Before the clever owner of Spring Fragrance Pavilion could laugh, the leading arbitrator turned deathly pale.

After all, Xu Lao Ying’s bewitching eyes were extremely recognizable. The moment the arbitrator saw them, he promptly reassured himself.

The Xu Clan’s wanderer should be on Bifang Mountain now, how could he possibly be in a brothel? It must be a coincidence, hoping that you are a bold con man!

Trembling, the arbitrator accepted the token presented by Xu Lao Ying, his vision went black before his eyes.

The person in front of him could only be Xu Lao Ying, the wandering heir of the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, the son of Changfeng Sword Saint!

The enraged arbitrator was filled with resentment. He turned to the owner of Spring Fragrance Pavilion, looking for a mutual destruction, but judging from the performance of the conman so far, who would not know that this debauched client who only racked up bills had an extraordinary origin, and that the Dao Child’s token was genuine.

The clever owner had already collapsed to the ground.

Luckily the absurd saint also knew this wasn’t an honorable affair, and quietly sent a message to the arbitration officer to let him go and pretend he had never seen him.

The arbitrator, like one pardoned, respectfully returned the token to Xu Lao Ying and quickly left with his team. Xu Lao Ying sighed and helped the collapsed owner up, complaining, “I told you it wasn’t smart to be clever, and now you have exposed us.”

Xu Lao Ying, originally thought he could pretend till the tournament starts and then slip back to Bifang Mountain, patted the owner’s shoulder and lamented, “Do not just stand there, quickly bring me ten more girls. Time is short, you know?”

Reporting and responding have a time difference. Xu Lao Ying was not going to stop strengthening because of being exposed. He was the hope of Xu Clan after all!

Ten new prostitutes followed Xu Lao Ying upstairs, and on the other hand, the arbitrator who had just arrived wouldn’t forget his job due to Xu Lao Ying’s instruction. After all, the appearance of a child saint of Xu Clan in a brothel in Kunwu County is in no case a small matter, so he reported back to the Big Arbitrator at the Arbitration Office after he returned.

An urgent report bearing the seal of the Big Arbitrator was delivered overnight to Bifang Mountain.

“This is preposterous!” Bu Xiao, Looking at the urgent report sent by the Arbitration Office, his face turned green.

Although he knew this guy had a very bad reputation, he was deceived by his gentlemanly appearance. Who would have thought that he wanted the token to do such a thing.

Using the Dao Child’s token of Martial Saint Mountain to pay for prostitutes was an unthinkable scandal. Bu Xiao felt disgusted as if he’d swallowed a fly, feeling he must be really blind to befriend such a person!

“Get down the mountain immediately, I want to see him!” He gritted his teeth and spat out these words, and in no time, the person in charge of the Youth Martial Arts Conference left Bifang Mountain.

…

On the night of August 22 in the year 1784 of the Longzhou calendar, in the Chuan You mansion

Tang Luo was interrupted by knocking on the door while carrying out some small spiritual power experiments. It was teammate Cui Haoran knocking at the door.

Opening the door, he saw Cui Haoran, Li Xuanba, and Xiao Ziyu.

“What’s the matter?”

Tang Luo looked puzzled while looking at jubilant Cui Haoran bathed in moonlight.

“Captain~” Cui Haoran grinned, his hands gesturing excitedly, “We have traveled thousands of miles to Kunwu County. Even though we’re here to participate in the competition, it’s necessary to broaden our horizons by seeing and learning more things. We have been staying in the villa for several days, which is why we decided to go out tonight!”

They were young and lively folks. How could they not be attracted by a metropolis like Kunwu? But what could be done at this hour, they wouldn’t even see the road without pupil technique.

Tang Luo looked up at the moon hidden behind the clouds, a flicker of curiosity ignited in him about where the trio planned to go, “Where do you plan to go at this hour?”

Cui Haoran, who was grinning a moment ago, stumbled under the innocent gaze of Tang Luo and discreetly retreated, pushing teammate Li Xuanba to the front at the same time.

“Er…” Li Xuanba from Fuling City stumbled and rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, “Just going to… the Pavilion to have a look.”

He mumbled and skipped the key term, but with Tang Luo’s incredible hearing, he was able to catch the important information.

They’d been traveling for nearly twenty days, with a group of young men in front of him, living daily in the courtyard, how could they endure it.

“It’s… the Pavilion, huh.” Tang Luo copied Li Xuanba’s style of speaking, smiling and waving his hand, “Go ahead, it’s not a bad thing, anyway.”

Li Xuanba was overjoyed. Honestly speaking, the three of them had wanted to go out a few days ago, but they didn’t have the courage to propose it given Tang Luo’s intense cultivation routine.

To their surprise, their strict captain turned out to be so open-minded. The trio felt that their happiness had come too suddenly.

“Oh, right!” It seemed like Tang Luo remembered something. He turned around, went back to his room and soon came out with a michigan money book, “It seems you didn’t bring much gold with you. Take this for now.”

The trio are sons of reputable families. When they were in the western Longzhou region, all they had to do was announce their titles to obtain free service. However, it would not work in Kunwu County. In order not to create any embarrassment, Tang Luo thoughtfully provided them with the money book.

Seeing the money book, Cui Haoran was filled with gratitude. He took the money book and was just about to thank Tang Luo when he saw the door to the room next-door quietly open.

The one living next to Tang Luo was Spiritual Fire Pride, Tang Xing. The fifteen-year-old had been eavesdropping when he heard the commotion outside. Hearing where the trio intended to go made him feel uneasy.

However, would it be bad to follow them, Tang Xing was a bit torn, but a piece of advice from his brother flashed in his mind: Just do what you think of, never miss it!

Like an enlightenment, he felt extremely courageous, deciding to join the group and leave his pretentious concerns behind.
