Chapter 385 - Green Bamboo in the Lane
Ling Xiao's few teasing words made Wang Yuanba feel extremely awkward. Although there was a huge difference in age between the two of them, if news of Wang Yuanba being defeated by a little brat spread, wouldn't he be throwing his life away?
After finishing their preparations, the two of them each rode a horse out of Prince Mansion.
"Clan Head Wang, normally you would carry the palanquin out, right? Why would you take the initiative to ride on it today, could it be that you have lost your status?" Ling Xiao said indifferently.
Hearing that, Wang Yuanba's face turned serious as he said: "Sect Leader Ling, this person is normally very low-profile, but his status and position is extremely high. His name is Old Man Green Bamboo, I don't know if you have ever heard of him."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao nodded slightly, and said: "I naturally know, the Old Man Green Bamboo is one of the Four Protectors of the Sun Moon Divine Hall, and is extremely strong, no wonder the Clan Head Wang was so cautious. But the Old Man Green Bamboo is a member of the Sun Moon Divine Hall, don't you think so?"
Hearing that, Wang Yuanba shook his head: "Sect Leader Ling, I'm afraid you don't know, the battles in Luoyang City are very intense, any kind of strong power can determine the rise and fall of a family, so no matter what identity Old Man Green Bamboo has, countless people have always wanted to curry favor with him."
"Oh? If there's such a thing, then this Old Man Green Bamboo really does have a high position in the Luoyang City. You all want to borrow the power of the Sun Moon Divine Hall, right? Hehe, even if the Old Man Green Bamboo is strong, he is only one person, if you can pull him into your camp, if there is any danger in the future, the Old Man Green Bamboo will have no choice but to take care of it. " Ling Xiao sneered and said.
Hearing Ling Xiao's words that revealed his thoughts, Wang Yuanba's face immediately became ugly, but at the same time, he was extremely shocked in his heart. Ling Xiao has such wisdom at such a young age, it is not something that can be achieved by an ordinary person, it seems that he has really underestimated Ling Xiao.
After clearing his throat twice, Wang Yuanba opened his mouth and said: "Sect Leader Ling, all the large and small sects have all tried to get close to Old Man Green Bamboo, but no one was accepted, even if someone successfully got close, in the end, they all came back empty-handed, making people helpless. Even I, myself, also sent a few groups of people over to pay a visit, giving a big gift, some precious ginseng and a large amount of gold and silver, a whole lot of sincerity is still not welcomed, luckily other powers are also the same, if not my Wang Family would be under a lot of pressure."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao laughed coldly, as if he was mocking his.
Hearing Ling Xiao's smile, Wang Yuanba was stunned. Although he was not happy in his heart, he could only suppress his slightly angry mood and asked puzzledly, "Sect Leader Ling, why are you laughing?"
Ling Xiao laughed for a good while before stopping, and said indifferently: "Clan Head Wang, have you seriously thought about why Old Man Green Bamboo isn't willing to see you two?"
Wang Yuanba shook his head and said: "Not sure, maybe the Old Man Green Bamboo himself knows that there are dangers everywhere in the Luoyang City, and the most sensible thing for him to do is to stay away from these battles."
"Wrong, you are all wrong, no wonder you can't reach the Old Man Green Bamboo." Ling Xiao said in disdain.
Feeling Ling Xiao's attitude, Wang Yuanba felt extremely displeased. Why would he be pointed at by a furry brat who seemed to be in his twenties? He asked: "Sect Leader Ling, how do you know this old man is wrong? You are not even from the Luoyang City, and yet you are not even clear about the situation in the city.
Ling Xiao snorted lightly, and said slowly: "Really? Then I ask Clan Head Wang to listen carefully, if the temptation is truly not big enough, then naturally there will be people willing to increase the stakes, and it is not that Old Man Green Bamboo is unwilling to wade in this muddy water, it is just that none of you are qualified."
"Qualification? Sect Leader Ling, I am not the one who said that you are the most unqualified to use this word in Luoyang City. " Wang Yuanba raised an eyebrow and said. How could he be constantly suppressed by a junior? Naturally, he had to think of a way to get revenge.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao smiled slightly and did not answer. After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Clan Head Wang, let me talk to him alone in a while."
"We are about to arrive, Sect Leader Ling, please do as you wish." Wang Yuanba pointed to an alley in front of them.
Finally, the two of them stopped in front of an alley.
The alley was small, and it was impossible for the two to walk side by side, so they could only tie the horses up and walk in.
"Old Man Green Bamboo has an eccentric nature and is hard for ordinary people to control. I heard that he really likes these kinds of things that scholars like to do, so I deliberately spent a lot of money to invite these kinds of people to come in. Although it has some effects, it is only limited to a few words, it's not effective at all." Wang Yuanba said as he walked.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Un, I know some information about the Old Man Green Bamboo."
This Ling Xiao was only about twenty years old, how could he possibly know so many seniors and seniors of the Jianghu? Although the Old Man Green Bamboo had some fame in the Jianghu, those who truly understood him were few in number, after all, the Old Man Green Bamboo was a Sun Moon Divine Hall and no one would dare to rashly approach him.
If this wasn't the Luoyang City, and her own territory, Wang Yuanba would definitely not go near the Old Man Green Bamboo.
Just like that, the two of them did not speak anymore, and continued until they reached the end of the alley.
After passing through the alley, the scene in front of him immediately broadened. It turned out that deep within the alley, there was another heavenly passage.
This was a courtyard with peach blossoms and a large patch of green plants growing in it. It gave off the feeling of a paradise on earth.
Behind the courtyard was a wooden door. Presumably, the one staying at the back was the Old Man Green Bamboo.
"There's no one guarding this place. Someone should come visit often." Ling Xiao looked around, originally thinking that there would be many unguarded places, but he realized that it was very quiet.
Compared to the relaxed Ling Xiao, Wang Yuanba was actually very vigilant. He softly said: "Although I don't see Old Man Green Bamboo in person, Old Man Green Bamboo has already been secretly observing us from the shadows. If one doesn't behave well, Old Man Green Bamboo would not even have the interest to meet one."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao could not help but laugh out loud, and said: "That is truly interesting."
Seeing Ling Xiao laughing loudly, Wang Yuanba's face changed. He wanted to stop his, but it was already too late.
"Next, Ling Xiao, from the Huashan Mountain, he has come here to pay a visit!" Ling Xiao shouted loudly.
Seeing that, Wang Yuanba shook his head: "Sigh, if you call me that, Old Man Green Bamboo will definitely not receive you, let's go back."
Obviously, Wang Yuanba had already given up. It seemed that he had suffered such a loss before.
