Chapter 36: Found the protagonist Tang Can

Chapter 36: Found the protagonist Tang Can

Within the Apricot Flower establishment, five people were currently drinking and chatting leisurely in a private room.

The five people were Murong Lin, Ma Jian Chou, the skinny Li Ming Dao, the ladyboy Bai Xiao Xiao and the smoking ghost, Zhou Miao.

The five were celebrating Murong Lin’s safe return as they asked him about his experiences.

Murong Lin generously took out some of the spiritual medicines and fruits he had obtained in the remnants as gifts for these four people.

Naturally, the four recipients were overjoyed, this was the reason why they had chosen to be friends with Murong Lin. It was precisely because they could obtain resources from a prince, and considering that Murong Lin’s gifts were subpar in the past, they were pleasantly surprised this time.

Bai Xiao Xiao was basically leaning his whole body onto Murong Lin’s, throwing him sultry glances as he called out, “Lin~”

“Piss off!” Murong Lin kicked him away in disgust.

Ma Jian Chou and Li Ming Dao, on the other hand, were laughing like idiots as they rearranged the items in their bag of holding. Li Ming Dao even commented strangely, “Old Lin, did you get some kind of serendipitous encounter? Ahhhh! I’m going to die of frustration, why didn’t I go to that remnant!”

Ma Jian Chou spat on the ground before speaking, “Hah, don’t forget that Murong Lin entered almost immediately, and even if you flew there from the capital and arrived in three days, you wouldn’t be able to get any scraps!”

“Hah, maybe I would’ve stumbled upon a lucky encounter that no one else would’ve found? Lady luck has always been kind to me!”

“Hah, who was the one that lost consecutively in our cricket fights a few days ago and almost lost his underwear?” Ma Jian Chou mocked.

“That was a fucking accident!” Li Ming Dao refuted!

Murong Lin laughed as he drank, enjoying the scenery.

Outside of the window of their private room at the Apricot Flower establishment was a long river and beautiful sights.

At this moment, Murong Lin noticed Zhou Miao, whose entire head was being obscured by smoke.

Zhou Miao was using his spiritual powers to gather the smoke from his tobacco pipe to conceal his head.

“What’s going on with him? Got his heart broken?” Murong Lin questioned Bai Xiao Xiao.

Bai Xiao Xiao responded indifferently as he sipped the alcohol femininely, “That guy has been like that ever since his idol was defeated, it’s alright, he’ll be fine in a few days!”

“His idol was defeated?” A few wrinkles appeared on Murong Lin’s forehead.

If his memory was correct, Zhou Miao’s idol was the ‘Passion Smoke’ Yan Si Liu, the disciple of the Sky Reaching realm, One Shot.

Zhou Miao’s habit of smoking was the way he aligned himself with his idol, in his words, it was a type of spirit.

Murong Lin speechlessly patted Zhou Miao’s shoulder, comforting him, “It’s not that bad.”

Zhou Miao coughed, dispelling the smoke around his face and revealing his appearance. After a few days of continuous smoking, his face had become worryingly pale.

He responded, “Brother Murong, you don’t understand, Yan Si Liu lost terribly! It was completely unexpected, it feels as though my entire soul was ripped into shreds, you know?”

Name: Tang Can

Cultivation method: 《One of the Seven Great Tang sect’s Techniques》(Black Sky), 《The Poisonous Old Ghost’s Scripture》

Skills: 《Six of the Seven Great Tang sect’s Techniques》 (Ghost Trace, Jade Hand, Purple Pupils, Capturing Crane, Thousand Weapons, Thousand Poisons)

Fuck!

The other people were still busy gawking.

Murong Lin thought in his mind: Anti, isn’t he at the first layer of the Origin realm?

Anti responded, “That’s not true! Tang Can had hidden his true strength, and master needs to see for himself how strong he is to determine his true cultivation.”

Fuck, that was the typical behaviour of the Tang sect!

The disciples of the Tang sect were known to be patient and knew how to conceal themselves, but when it came to their enemies and opponents, they acted fiercely and swiftly, giving them no possibility of surviving!

They were the living definition of ‘Playing the pig to devour a tiger’.

After looking at the information about the newly appeared protagonist in the system, Murong Lin placed him in the corner of his mind.

Zhou Miao sighed again, he felt as though the tobacco in his hands were no longer enjoyable.

“Right! How are those people doing these days? What about the sixth princess? The fifth prince? Why does it feel like they’ve all disappeared!” Zhou Miao suddenly asked.

“Sii! You’ve reminded me, the reason why the is capital so quiet these days is that all the big notable figures are hiding away, hahaha!” Bai Xiao Xiao laughed.

Murong Lin shook his head, he wasn’t monitoring the affairs of the capital lately.

But Ma Jian Chou would know.

In excitement, Ma Jian Chou leaned forwards and started speaking, “I’m not sure what’s going on with the sixth princess, but I heard that she has been quite friendly with the ladies of the four great clans, I’m not sure what they’ve been doing though.

As for the fifth prince, I’ve heard a little more. You guys know about the remnant, right? It was picked clean, but strangely, Murong Jue wanted to go over regardless, and he brought quite a number of the second generations along with him.

Even the second and seventh princes came out of seclusion and went with him, and I heard that the fourth prince appeared there as well. They definitely wouldn’t have expected our Murong Lin to have benefited so greatly from the remnants! Hahaha!”

Ma Jian Chou chortled as he took a big swig of alcohol.

Murong Lin laughed along, not because of their impending failure to find anything, but because he knew that they were all going to die there!

His plans were already set in motion!
