Chapter 123: Hot and Sour Noodles

Chapter 123: Hot and Sour Noodles

The relationship between Scarlet and Jiang He had Meng Yufei frightened to the core. Although he had been in a state of either chased by Jin Cheng or stuck in jail this whole year, still, he did hear about Jiang Hes affair.

The second-in-command of Heavens Will, Chong Yanzhangs right-hand man cum personal tactician called The Mist Assassin might look very ordinary, but he was, in fact, very resourceful. It was said that he stayed with Chong Yanzhang because he had a favour to return. When Jiang He and Heavens Will parted, most of the public took pity on Jiang He and ridiculed Chong Yanzhang.

But what else?

Meng Yufei suddenly found out that he didnt know anything about Jiang He. What did he do before joining Heavens Will? Was his past really as ordinary as his face?

We have nothing to do with each other, Scarlet. Jiang He acted like a young monk sitting still in the center of all drama. Even with a gorgeous, tempting lady leaning on his chest, he remained utterly unmoved.

Then what about my thing? If we have nothing to do with each other, you shouldnt be holding on to it as a keepsake to remind yourself of me? Scarlet smiled, her slender fingers gently resting on his neck like a lovers touch, but they also seemed to be ready to sever his arteries any moment now.

Your thing is no longer with me.

Do you think Ill believe it?

Scarlet, if I want you to die, I wouldve handed over the phylactery a year ago.

Good point.

Suddenly, Scarlet sneered coldly and stood up: I actually dont understand why you take shelter under Chong Yanzhangs wing. Lin Yandong and he wanted to kill me, but you put your life in his hands?

Jiang He: Others may not know why, but do you also not know?

As he said so, Jiang Hes expression finally changed. He stood up, looking directly at Scarlets eyes, his face a tad more solemn than before: It was you who wanted to kill me. If it werent for Chong Yanzhang who happened to pass by and save me, I wouldve never expected that one day, I would almost die one day under your very hands. Even so, I still havent exposed the location of your phylactery. Scarlet, I always offer you my best.

This sentence seemed to gravely provoke Scarlet, so much so that her face twisted a little: Is that so? But in the end, didnt Chong Yanzhang also abandon you? Youre just like a mourning dog, arent you?

Youve been abandoned once, then abandoned twice. No one really takes you to heart.

Scarlets words slammed like a sharp, terrifying awl. Even Meng Yufei, an outsider, felt crushed by them. He spotted Jiang Hes knuckles on the table turning all white, showing how hard the man must be exerting his force.

It was also the first time Meng Yufei had seen him so lost.

Scarlet hadnt finished speaking yet. She smiled once more, her face alluring yet cruel at the same time: And you also dont know, it was Chong Yanzhang who let me out. In the end, he still chose me. Everything you care about will eventually run away from you. Do you still want to say this to me now? Were of different paths, dont seek each other.

Jiang He finally showed a trace of pain and slowly closed his eyes. He knew that Scarlet wanted to see him grapple in agony and had been prepared for this moment, but when all his wounds were ripped apart with such viciousness, he found that he was nowhere as strong-willed as he had imagined.

Scarlet. His voice became hoarse, and when he opened his eyes, all the emotions inside had been pulled back: Dont let me hate you so much.

As the four eyes met, Scarlets mocking smile continued, but in Jiang Hes calm eyes, her expression was icy cold and no more words left her lips. In complete quietness, the two stood there, caught in a stalemate. The atmosphere in the store almost froze, making the outsider Meng Yufei feel as though he was sitting on pins and needles.

He didnt even dare to make a sound. As the usual trope would have it, people who knew too much would often be silenced.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

At this moment, a cheerful voice eagerly broke the stalemate. The auntie of the hot and sour noodle shop came over with a fresh bowl of hot and sour noodles and placed it on the table: Young people, sit down and talk slowly. Everyone is trying hard to scrape by in this Yong Ye City. Today we may live, but tomorrow we may die. Is there really something from the past that cant be forgiven? Lets eat a bowl of hot and sour noodles first.

The entire game hall became heated like a frying pan, where many people who originally wanted to hide in the dungeons retreated and turned to discuss with their teammates, their eyes drenched in rage and chagrin.

Including Yu Yiyi.

After Yu Yiyi arrived at the game hall, he didnt enter the dungeon immediately. In any case, a legendary-grade weapon wouldnt be easily snatched by ordinary players, so it shouldnt be much of an issue if he went in a little later.

He and his teammate put on a light disguise and stood watching in the corner, pulling the chaos of the entire game hall into their eyes. After watching over and over, they decided to drop the idea of entering the dungeon for now.

Blacc Hat has gotten trouble onto himself. Lets just wait for the fun show. Yu Yiyi stroked his chin and smiled gloatingly.

He really doesnt have the movement, right? The teammate was truly curious.

Who knows for sure? Look, there are so many bugs jumping around. Yu Yis sense of danger and sensitivity to whatever situation he was in had always been exceptional. The man felt that if he hadnt ended up in Yong Ye City, he wouldve been fit to become a high-ranking official. Im just cool like that.

As he said so, his eyes patrolled the crowd for a while more, especially near the door. Very soon, he spotted someone quietly withdraw from the crowd, carefully glance around and quickly take his leave.

Soon, this person headed back to Zone E, returning to An Ning with a fair bit of excitement and thrill bubbling in his heart. What he didnt know was that right after he left, several waves of people also hurriedly left the game hall and scattered to various zones.

One of them came to the neighbourhood where Qian Wei was.

Qian Wei was still stuck in the room where he had been hiding, with his ears pressed against the door, his heart jumping up and down and his stomach full of flapping butterflies. He had been hiding here since Zheng Yingying left ten minutes ago to the second floor, disguised as another man using her magical red cloak.

As for the real person himself, he was unconscious, stuffed under the bed by Qian Wei with his hands and feet tied up.

15 minutes ago, the two suddenly opened the door while that person was walking by, and their ambush smoothly took place.

At this moment, with Zheng Yingying not here, Qian Weiwei could directly leave, but after several times of walking to the window and putting his hands on the window sill, he still stepped back.

No matter how daring and evil Zheng Yingying was, Qian Wei always remembered that she was a young, skinny girl, and that she rescued him in the dungeon [Realm of Mortals]. Qian Wei couldnt simply abandon her and flee.

But should he only keep waiting?

Qian Wei contemplated finding Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo for help, but was afraid that Zheng Yingying wouldnt be able to find anyone else upon her return and become flustered. At this point, a player happened to pass by the window and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Qian Weis head. He rapidly opened the window, waved his hand and softly called out to the man.

Hey, buddy! Buddy, over here!

At the same time, when the two-hour limit as agreed was up, Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo returned to the Ruby Bar to meet the others.

Chi Yan and Lilith arrived on time, and Leng Miao also rushed there through his [Mega Rift], but the whereabouts of the people they were looking for, whether it was Wen Xiaoming or Rong Yi, remained unknown.

As Lilith frowned and wondered where Wen Xiaoming would be, Tang Cuo asked: Where is Miao Qi? Did anyone see him?

The group looked at each other and shook their heads. After waiting for another ten minutes, Miao Qi still didnt turn up.

Incredible. The lost guy was still not found, and now they lost another one.
