“Someone is following us,” Liu Bei reminded Ye Cang.
“I know…” Ye Cang had already laid his hands on his silver revolver that was hidden under his hood.
The two of them who were running gave each other a glance. Liu Bei suddenly stopped and pulled out his twin blades single-handedly, staring at the dark shadow descending from the sky.
In the meantime, being well prepared, Ye Cang had already pulled out his gun and was about to shoot at it but was stopped by Liu Bei as he could see who the dark shadow belonged to. “Hold on, that person is no enemy.”
“How do you know?”
“Because my legs’ reaction told me so. Usually, if it’s enemy of ours, my legs will tell me to run.”
“……”
“But we can’t let our guard down too,” wondering who it could be.
As the shadow trudged into the light, they saw a handsome man with long hair and red clothing. Behind him was a maroon guqin and a long red sword hanging on his waist. “Big Ear Liu.”
“Oh, look who we have here. It’s you, Bad Luck Zhou.” Liu Bei kept away his blade. “Knew that you would be abandoned by your envoy again.”
Seeing Zhou Yu getting pissed, Liu Bei went over with a smile. “Oops, I’m sorry. Sorry for reminding you about your sad story. Come. Have a cigarette to reduce stress.”
Zhou Yu took the cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath. With clouds of smoke surrounding him, he said. “I met Kongming that lil’fella along the way.”
“Oh, him again. So unlucky of you. Did he say anything to you?”
“Nothing much.” Zhou Yu tried to stay silent after glancing at Ye Cang and Liu Bei did not ask any further.
“Guo Jia has been consuming poison pills and you still wanna give him this? Oh, come on. As for Tian Feng that old fella, I could tell he’s a smoker. Help me buy one packet, would ya?”
“……” Ye Cang was speechless as he stared at the two of them who were casually smoking sticks after sticks and gossiping just like employees taking long cigarette breaks. With a sigh, he kept away his gun and walked over.
“Come on, young man. Let me introduce you to someone. He is Zhou Yu, also known as Gongjin Zhou. The one who is always jealous of others’ intelligence.”
“It’s my pleasure to meet you.” Ye Cang knew who he was as he was able to recall a few dramas about ancient times.
“Indeed, this young man is no ordinary! You have good observation! I shall then assist you in getting the Holy Cup!” Zhou Yu was amazed and immediately summoned a magic circle to establish the contract. Ye Cang agreed and asked speechlessly, “It feels like Zhuge Liang was not favored by y’all in your time…”
“Well, all of us here share the same thought,” Liu Bei nodded.
“Then, could you explain your reasons for going to his house thrice to invite him to be your strategist?”
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes. “Speak of fooling people, Kongming is not as good as you, Lord Pussy.”
“Oh, don’t overcompliment me, Lord Short-life.” Liu Bei’s words made Zhou Yu surprised.
“Your son is a retard!”
“Hey Gongjin, don’t you insult him like that! Old Cao would be so angry!”
“Alright, alright. Back to the point. Now, we really need to think of a solution to help our young man get Wen Zhong’s item. With Gongjin here, summoning Wen Zhong is not a problem.” Liu Bei flickered the ashes from his cigarette.
“According to my intel, there might be a god-ranked hero spirit joining the auction, making it extraordinarily dangerous.” Ye Cang was curious about what Zhou Yu said, “Who is the hero spirit? How strong is a god-ranked hero spirit?”
At a side, Liu Bei said with a bitter smile, “Well, actually, can you stop calling me Big Ear or Thick-faced. Do know that we are relatives.”
“F*ck off!” Zhou Yu was pissed off and sighed. “By the way, I saw Lady Sun.”
“Young man, we are about to have a new member of our team.”Liu Bei suddenly started brushing his hard and took a deep breath. “Let’s go find her. Where is she?”
“……” Ye Cang and Zhou Yu were speechless.
Just then, they felt a heavy pressure and a sense of extreme danger. Zhou Yu immediately pulled out his red sword and stabbed it into the ground. A yin yang divine trigram appeared. “Run!”
As Xingtian slashed his axe, the yin yang divine trigram moved and Ye Cang and Zhou Yu vanished into thin air. The terrain shifted all of a sudden and there was nothing but a flat ground left.
“They sure escaped fast!” On Xingtian’s shoulder, there was an aged lady hitting him. “You bastard! Bastard! Quickly end this for me! I still have to go to Xiao Ming Square to lead a warm-up dance!”
“Roar!” His eyes shone madly.
