Chapter 91 I'll Wait for You
Chapter 91 I'll Wait for You
The conflicts between people in the martial arts world don't really need a reason.
With each possessing martial arts skills, they are naturally prone to arrogance and pride. It's common for them to fight each other when they don't see eye to eye.
Wen Zhao often got into fights from a young age, partly because she was quick-tempered and easily angered, and partly because she always won easily. Over time, the people of Ningzhou Prefecture called her the "Troublemaker."
However, Wen Zhao was actually quite reasonable when he fought with others.
Just like now, after she had eaten and drunk her fill at the Ruyi Inn, she looked at the Canglang Gang members but did not immediately take action.
She wasn't afraid of having to pay compensation for damaging the shop's property, nor was she worried about being outnumbered; she just needed a reason to take action.
After all, she had just told Yun Luobai that if these people talked too much, she would take them all down with her bare hands.
In other words, if the members of the Canglang Gang hadn't said anything, she naturally wouldn't have hit them.
Their eyes met. A burly man from the Canglang Gang, his face full of scars, looked at Wen Zhao, who appeared as thin as a monkey in his eyes, and smiled disdainfully.
"You ignorant brat, do you even know who we grandpas are? How dare you spout such nonsense? Just wait until I skin you alive!"
Wen Zhao wasn't angry; she just sighed softly, her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at Yun Luobai.
"Second brother, I'm very upset that he spoke to me so rudely."
"and you……"
"Then I'll beat them to a pulp. I just finished eating, so I'll stretch my legs a bit. By the way, Second Brother, you told me before not to exercise immediately after eating, saying it's bad for my stomach? I've always remembered that, so it shouldn't be a problem just this once in a while, right?"
Wen Zhao stood up, grabbed a bench from beside him, and threw it at the Canglang Gang members.
A major battle was about to break out, and the Ruyi Inn was thrown into chaos in the blink of an eye.
The cries and screams were incessant, mixed with the sounds of tables and chairs breaking.
Upon seeing this, the diners had already fled in panic. The shopkeeper and the waiter looked at each other but did not say anything to stop them.
Whether it's the Wen Family Escort Agency or General Yun Que's Mansion that loses money, someone will definitely lose money, and quite a lot of it, otherwise no one would want to damage the inn and affect their business.
Yun Luobai sat in the center of the inn, sipping tea and glancing sideways at the Canglang Gang members who were being brutally beaten by Wen Zhao in a corner.
The inn was in complete chaos, and Yun Luobai, calm and collected, seemed out of place in this noisy and disorderly scene.
This was the first time he had seen Wen Zhao take action.
Even though she didn't bring a gun with her, Yun Luobai could tell from her bare-handed fight that she was very organized in her moves.
Wen Zhao gained the upper hand in a very short time, and the rest of the battle was nothing more than her unilateral violence against the Canglang Gang members.
After smashing more than a dozen benches and leaving everyone with bloodied heads and in a miserable state, Wen Zhao threw away the bench leg he was holding, clapped his hands, and then stopped.
The burly man with the fierce face from before had now been beaten so badly that half of his face was swollen, and he couldn't even open one of his eyes.
Even so, when Wen Zhao stopped moving and was about to turn and leave, he still spoke sternly from behind.
"You brat, do you even know who we are? Do you even know who I am?"
Wen Zhao walked up to him, squatted down, and looked at the burly man in front of him with a smile, as if admiring his spoils of war.
"I've figured it out, you haven't had enough of a beating. How about another one?"
When Wen Zhao asked him this question, the burly man's throat bobbed, and his body involuntarily shrank back. Even though he was scared inside, he still remained stubborn.
"Mountains may change, but rivers will. Today we've been defeated by you, little girl. If you have the guts, reveal your identity, and the Canglang Gang will surely pay you a visit in the future!"
"Oh ho, trying to scare me? I'm Wen Zhao from the Wen Family Escort Agency. I'll wait until you've recovered before you come back for a beating."
"We'll see..."
Wen Zhao straightened up, walked over to Yun Luobai and sat down. He then picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of braised beef, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
"Second brother, are you full?"
"Hmm. From what he said, if he goes to the Canglang Gang to seek revenge for him, won't that cause trouble for your Wen Family Escort Agency?"
"Bring it on, who's afraid of who?"
Wen Zhao glanced at Yun Luobai, and when he noticed the latter's serious expression, he shook his head helplessly.
She brought her lips close to Yun Luobai's ear, lowering her voice at the same time.
"It's alright, I knew my limits. They're not missing any limbs, and they were outnumbered and outmatched. They were in the wrong to begin with, so why did they have the nerve to come looking for trouble?"
"Yes, that makes sense..."
The fight broke out at Ruyi Inn, and Yun Luobai knew it was not a good place to stay. He immediately wanted to take Wen Zhao away from the trouble, but unexpectedly, someone pushed through the crowd of onlookers and squeezed in.
"Miss! The head镖师 (chief镖师, a term for a bodyguard/escort) wants to bring you back!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Zhao looked in the direction of the sound and found that the person who came was Xiao Xu from his own escort agency.
"My dad? What does he want with me?"
Xiao Xu stepped over the shattered remains of the tables and chairs on the ground and came to the two of them. He first smiled and nodded slightly to Yun Luobai as a greeting, and then turned to Wen Zhao to tell him the purpose of his trip.
"The Liu family has a shipment of goods to be transported to another place. They are worried about the safety of the journey, so they have asked our escort agency to escort it."
"Why don't you just have my dad issue him the escort contract? Why do you need me to go back for something so simple?"
"No... Young Master Liu from the Liu family came with his servants to deliver the goods, and he specifically requested that you personally sign the delivery order in his presence..."
"So much trouble? And we absolutely have to take this delivery? Is there a famine at home? Is my dad saving up to take a concubine?"
"Well... Young Master Liu is a refined man. When he came, he said he would prepare a small gift for the chief镖头 (chief镖头 is a nickname for a镖师, meaning head镖师) to see the young lady. As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face..."
Xiao Xu looked at Yun Luobai sitting next to Wen Zhao. When Yun Luobai realized that Xiao Xu's words had a hidden meaning, she was stunned for a moment, then covered her face with her hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Second brother, what's wrong?"
"You should go back to the escort agency to take care of your business first. I'll be going back to set up my fortune-telling stall later."
"Alright. I'll go back and see what's going on."
Wen Zhao got up and walked towards the entrance of the inn. As he passed the stairs, he suddenly looked up as if he had noticed something. The figure he had been thinking about for several days but had not seen was leaning against the stairs, looking at the messy scene inside the inn.
Even though Wen Zhao had been shouting loudly outside the Ruyi Inn for days, the atmosphere was quiet and not tense when the two met again.
"Has your injury healed?"
With a completely natural expression on his face, he stood on the stairs and gently shook his head at Wen Zhao below.
"without."
The cold laugh was exactly what Wen Zhao had expected.
If his injuries have healed, he naturally won't stay in Ningzhou Prefecture anymore.
Wen Zhao took a deep breath and, feigning nonchalance, raised his chin at Leng Xiao.
"I'm waiting for you."
