"Who else would I be talking to but you!"
Lan Baizhi shot Qin Yi an annoyed glance.
Then, she looked around and said, "Little Junior Brother, there are too many people here. Let's find another place to talk!"
So, Lan Baizhi and Ren Shuman left the milk tea shop, drinking their milk tea as they walked.
Qin Yi quickly followed them.
Before long, the three of them arrived at a nearby park.
With no one else around, Lan Baizhi turned to Qin Yi, her playful demeanor gone. "The reason I didn't want you to join the Order Hall is because with your status, the Order Hall is too small and not qualified to have you!"
"???"
Qin Yi stared at her in disbelief. "Senior Sister Lan, are you joking or are you serious?"
"Of course, I'm serious!" Lan Baizhi replied.
Ren Shuman chimed in, "She's not kidding. The Order Hall is indeed not qualified for you to join. Even if there were to be a joining, it would be them joining you, not you joining them!"
"You are the God King, and your God Gate is countless times stronger than the Order Hall!"
This time, the two women, uncharacteristically, did not argue. They were in agreement.
Hearing Ren Shuman's words, Qin Yi was stunned again. He hadn't expected them to know about the God Gate as well.
Instantly, Qin Yi pressed them for details. "Senior Sisters, what else do you know about the God Gate?"
Speaking of the God Gate, Qin Yi felt a sense of helplessness.
The crazy old man had gotten a tattoo on his wrist while he was asleep, and that made him the God King!
Yet, despite being the God King, he knew absolutely nothing about the God Gate. Qin Yi found it utterly ridiculous!
"I also know..." Lan Baizhi started to say, as if by reflex.
"Cough cough!"
But as soon as she uttered a few words, Ren Shuman coughed and interrupted her.
Lan Baizhi heard Ren Shuman's cough, realized her slip, and changed her tone with a smile. "Heh heh, I won't tell you now!"
Qin Yi had been all ears, and upon hearing her words, his face fell with disappointment.
He could tell they were unwilling to tell him, so he didn't press further, asking them something else instead.
Qin Yi changed the subject. "Where is the crazy old man now? You can at least tell me that, right?"
Ren Shuman, however, had no intention of hiding this. She replied readily, "The crazy old man is on the island!"
"On the island? Which island?"
"I can't tell you that for now!" Ren Shuman said.
Qin Yi: "And why is that?"
Ren Shuman: "No reason!"
Fine, Qin Yi realized. Trying to get anything out of these two Senior Sisters was more difficult than fighting a thousand people!
To avoid getting frustrated, he stopped asking them any more questions and turned to leave.
"Hey, Little Junior Brother, where are you going?" Lan Baizhi asked.
"Home!"
Since they wouldn't let him join the Order Hall, he didn't want to see Fang Zheng'ao and Xue Qiao'er anymore. He decided to return to Haicheng.
Lan Baizhi glanced at Ren Shuman and said, "Wherever you go, we'll go with you!"
Qin Yi stopped in his tracks and turned back, looking at them in surprise.
Lan Baizhi explained, "We just returned to Shenzhou and don't have anything else to do! And in Shenzhou, you're our only relative, and we don't know anyone else. So, Little Junior Brother, please don't abandon us..."
By the end of her sentence, she deliberately put on a pitiful look.
Qin Yi couldn't stand it anymore. Without saying a word, he quickened his pace and left.
Lan Baizhi chuckled at this and immediately followed him.
Ren Shuman shook her head and also walked along.
...
In a valley about twenty to thirty kilometers away from Heilong City.
This was the main base of Wind King Valley.
After a night of recuperation, Murong Kai, who had been injured by Qin Yi, had almost fully recovered.
At this moment, a disciple of Wind King Valley approached Murong Kai and asked in a low voice, "Valley Master, are we really letting this matter go?"
He was clearly referring to the incident with Qin Yi.
"Let it go? Let it go my ass!"
Murong Kai's face was ashen with rage, and he gritted his teeth.
Qin Yi had killed one of their disciples, but more importantly, he had injured him, and in front of so many people at that!
Recalling the event now, Murong Kai couldn't help but blush and wish he could dig a hole to hide in.
As the Valley Master of Wind King Valley, and a prominent figure, when had he ever been so humiliated?
Therefore, Murong Kai swore to have his revenge!
"Valley Master, then what should we do?" the disciple asked again. "That Qin fellow is too strong. Even you are not his..."
"Hmm?"
Murong Kai shot him a cold glare, making the subordinate tremble. He quickly swallowed the words he was about to say.
The disciple hurriedly explained, "Valley Master, please don't misunderstand. What I meant was, that Qin fellow is not weak, and it might not be easy for us to get revenge!"
Murong Kai didn't speak for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, as if he had made up his mind, he sighed and said, "Go and call One-Eyed."
The disciple, understanding immediately, exclaimed in shock, "Valley Master, you want One-Eyed to assassinate..."
Before he could finish, Murong Kai impatiently said, "Stop with the nonsense. Just go!"
"Yes, yes!"
The disciple dared not say another word and quickly retreated.
Not long after, he returned with a disheveled man with only one eye, who was known as One-Eyed, to Murong Kai.
The one-eyed man was carrying a long object, over a meter in length, wrapped in black cloth.
Because it was covered by the black cloth, outsiders couldn't see what it was.
The one-eyed man approached Murong Kai, yawned, and casually asked, "Valley Master, what are your orders?"
Seeing the man's demeanor, Murong Kai felt a surge of anger. Everyone in Wind King Valley was respectful to him, except for this man, who was so casual and impudent in his presence!
However, considering the man's abilities and the task he was about to assign him, Murong Kai forcibly suppressed his anger.
He said, "One-Eyed, you're leaving immediately to kill someone for me!"
"Kill who?" One-Eyed asked. "Is it the person who injured you this time?"
Hearing the man speak so directly, Murong Kai's expression darkened again.
But he finally endured it and nodded. "That's right, him! Do you have a problem with that?"
One-Eyed shook his head without hesitation and replied, "No!"
Then, he pulled off the black cloth, revealing a specially made sniper rifle.
He ran a hand over the gun's body and murmured, "Perfect. It's been too long. My baby is getting rusty!"
