Chapter 516 Oh no, this guy wants revenge!
Xiao Ye No. 3 had a lot of work to do today, with a mountain of official documents to review. Looking at the mountain of documents and the afternoon schedule, he felt he needed to cool down.
So, Xiao Ye No. 3 swaggered out of the Aodu Building and slipped onto the street.
Xiao Ye No. 3 quickly found a restaurant, intending to warm a pot of wine and leisurely watch the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
In the midst of this dazzling and bustling city, quietly lost in thought is a little habit of Ye Nanxiao's.
Just as Xiao Ye No. 3 finished brewing the tea and was about to start daydreaming, a strange noise came from the street across the street, and then two flustered children ran into the shop directly opposite.
Xiao Ye No. 3 initially didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just some teenagers who had sneaked out of their homes to play and had been caught red-handed.
When a group of thugs suddenly appeared from behind, it was clear that something was wrong.
Considering the recent downfall of numerous minor and noble families in Mingdu, replaced by new nobles, Xiao Ye No. 3 realized that the two handsome and well-dressed children before him were members of one of these fallen families, hiding from their enemies.
Xiao Ye No. 3 watched everything happening on the other side quietly, without any thoughts.
Prosperity inevitably leads to decline.
Picking up three pairs of wooden chopsticks, Xiao Ye No. 3 held them in his hand, his gaze slowly locking onto the white-robed leader.
Then, accompanied by a familiar voice, two gray-robed men appeared in the crowd, followed by Shen Ciyuan.
"Shouldn't this guy be taken back by Luo Xinyao to get married?" Xiao Ye No. 3 muttered under his breath, slowly putting down the wooden chopsticks in his hand.
The two gray-robed men immediately stopped the group of thugs. Their purpose and aura were unknown, so they could not act rashly.
Shen Ciyuan turned to the brother and sister behind him and said, "You two should leave now."
The Luo siblings nodded, thanked Shen Ciyuan and the two men in gray robes, then helped each other through the crowd and quickly turned into an alley.
"Young friend, you're quite enthusiastic," the gray-robed man standing on the right said with a laugh.
The gray-robed man on the left snorted coldly, tossed the white-robed man, who was too terrified to move, aside, and said indifferently, "Get lost!"
The man in white was so frightened that he stumbled back several times before he gradually came to his senses.
The two gray-robed men who had suddenly appeared were exceptionally powerful. Their sinister gazes, hidden in the shadows of their hoods, sent chills down one's spine with just a glance.
The man in white turned his head forcefully, and in his field of vision, all the thugs he had brought with him collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll get out of here right now!" The man in white quickly rolled around a few times, struggled to his feet, and stumbled away.
As for his men, they'll just have to wait for them to wake up on their own if they're lucky.
Shen Ciyuan glanced at the two gray-robed men, clasped his hands in a salute to them, and then left, disappearing into the crowd.
The two gray-robed figures exchanged a glance, put their hands behind their backs, and a hazy aura quickly rippled around them.
The crowd watching from a distance suddenly lost their target; in their eyes, the two gray-robed men had vanished into thin air.
In reality, the two gray-robed men remained standing in the same spot and never left.
"Zhang Peng, where is that reasonable person you mentioned who can understand things all night?" the gray-robed man on the left asked telepathically using his soul power.
Zhang Peng tilted his head back slightly, pointed ahead, and said, "Wu Yun, look over there, that's our destination, and my little friend Mu is right there."
The gray-robed man, known as Dark Cloud, looked up in the direction Zhang Peng pointed and saw a high-tech building standing tall among the other skyscrapers, with two bold characters on its exterior that made it extremely eye-catching.
"Aodu." Wu Yun murmured the words engraved on the surface of the Aodu Building.
"Aodu?! Zhang Peng, you mean this Aodu Building when you say you've found a good place to go?" Wu Yun's sharp gaze was fixed on Zhang Peng's face, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
"The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is already on the list, so what's the point of us going there?"
"When the Audu Chamber of Commerce falls, won't we both have to return to the church?"
He angrily flicked his sleeve and paced back and forth.
Zhang Peng shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Not necessarily. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is not the small chamber of commerce you heard about before, and the president is no longer An Litong."
"Isn't An Litong the president anymore?" Wu Yun asked, somewhat surprised.
Zhang Peng smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said, "You've been in seclusion for too long, and you haven't caught up with the outside information in time. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce experienced internal strife some time ago. The two vice presidents led a rebellion, trying to remove An Litong from the position of president and replace him. However, An Litong discovered it quickly and, together with the only one of the three vice presidents who did not betray him, fought for a long time and finally personally killed the two traitors. However, he was also seriously injured and soon passed away."
"The new president, Li Yuanren, who is now the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, quickly stabilized the Aodu Chamber of Commerce with two outstanding subordinates after most of the high-end combat force was killed or wounded. He absorbed the manpower and, at the cost of losing some casinos and territories, allowed the Aodu Chamber of Commerce to regain its foothold in Mingdu."
After listening to Zhang Peng's words, Wu Yun frowned and asked, "You've been talking for so long, saying that the Aodu Chamber of Commerce was revived by Li Yuanren. What does that have to do with this 'young friend Mu' you mentioned? Or is it that one of Li Yuanren's two top subordinates is your 'young friend Mu'?"
"No." Zhang Peng shook his head slightly. "This is information obtained by everyone outside, including within the sect. As for young friend Mu, it was something I stumbled upon during a chance mission. I deduced that young friend Mu is the key to the resurgence of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and may even be the shadowy chairman behind it!"
"The Shadow Chairman? The person behind the scenes? Is Li Yuanren just a target pushed out?" Wu Yun's expression became slightly serious, and his heart sank.
Such methods are those of a true hero.
Zhang Peng chuckled twice. "I did guess that way, but if Li Yuanren really is a target, then his power is far too great. If you were in his shoes, would you dare to entrust such power to a puppet?"
Wu Yun shook his head and remained silent. Puppets are not suicide soldiers; their absolute loyalty cannot be guaranteed.
"Haha, let's go. I'm sure young friend Mu already knows about our news in Mingdu." Zhang Peng laughed loudly, took a step forward, and disappeared from the spot.
"I hope this is a place to return to. After wandering for so long, all that's left is exhaustion." Wu Yun closed his eyes wearily, took a step forward, and followed closely behind Zhang Peng.
After blending into the crowd, Shen Ciyuan quickly crossed two blocks. After patiently observing for a while and confirming that no one was following him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When you're out and about, boys should also take good care of themselves.
The two gray-robed men had put immense pressure on Shen Ciyuan. Just by looking at them, his martial spirit seemed to become uncontrollable and was suppressed.
"Who are those two people? Their cultivation levels are unfathomable, could they be Title Douluos?" Shen Ciyuan frowned and reached behind him to pull out his martial soul, the Frost Moon Mirror.
The mirror reflected the boy's handsome face, softening the cold light it emitted.
The latest novel is first published here!
"What are you muttering to yourself about?"
A deliberately lowered voice came from behind, and a masked face appeared in the Cold Moon Mirror.
Shen Ciyuan's hair stood on end instantly; he was completely unaware that someone had appeared behind him.
His body reacted faster than his brain could issue commands; muscle memory made Shen Ciyuan leap up instantly, creating distance, and six spirit rings appeared.
Shen Ciyuan stared warily at the masked man who had appeared silently before him. A faint mirror light rose from his body, and the Cold Moon Mirror hovered above Shen Ciyuan's head, its clear light aimed at the masked man.
"Oh dear, don't be so nervous, it's me, it's me." The masked man raised his hands, took the mask on his face with his left hand, and moved it down a few inches, revealing half of his face.
Even with only half of his face visible, Shen Ciyuan recognized him instantly.
"Nanxiao? What are you doing here?" Shen Ciyuan's wariness instantly turned into surprise, and the Cold Moon Mirror returned to Shen Ciyuan's body.
"To correct you, I am the third worker of the main body. You can call me number three, or you can call me Xiao Ye number three. Of course, if you prefer, you can also call me by the name of the main body." Xiao Ye number three said, put the mask back on, shook it a few times, and when it was taken off again, a disguise mask was already on his face.
"Huh? You're a clone? Where's your real body? I've been looking for you for ages!" Shen Ciyuan's face showed a hint of disappointment.
"The main body has gone back. I guess you missed the main body's time. He went back, and you came over. By the way, what do you want to see the main body about?" Xiao Ye No. 3 asked, with his left hand on his hip and his right hand holding his mask.
This period of time is during the martial law period of the Sun Moon Empire, and it would take him a lot of effort to leave the city.
How did this street urchin end up in Mingdu?
Shen Ciyuan's smile immediately turned amiable, and he rubbed his hands together. "There are still scores to settle, aren't there? How can we let him off so easily? Don't you think so?"
Xiao Ye No. 3 suddenly remembered that Ye Nanxiao had packed up Shen Ciyuan and handed him to Luo Xinyao.
Holy crap!
This guy's come for revenge!
Xiao Ye No. 3 immediately distanced himself, saying, "That was all done by the main body. I'm just an avatar, a tool. Your feud has nothing to do with me!"
Seemingly worried that Shen Ciyuan didn't understand deeply enough, Xiao Ye No. 3 continued, "Even if you're thinking of collecting some interest from me when you can't find my main body for the time being, that won't work. I'm just a block of ice; if you hit me, the pain will be in your hands."
Listening to Xiao Ye No. 3's persuasive words, which were both emotional and reasonable, a question mark slowly appeared on Shen Ciyuan's head.
"Well, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to be tortured; I'm here to rightfully ask to be taken in!" Shen Ciyuan said in a serious tone.
".?"
"Take you in?" Little Ye No. 3 asked, staring with dead fish eyes.
"Yeah, I ran away from home again! This time I left a letter! Yao Yao won't come looking for me!" Shen Ciyuan shook his head, revealing a standard smile, his teeth sparkling like stars.
Xiao Ye No. 3 no longer wanted to think; he couldn't understand the relationship between Shen Ciyuan and Luo Xinyao.
Um, are you a couple?
