Chapter 474: Revenge - Fame



Chapter 474: Revenge - Fame

In a teahouse in Lieyang Town, the atmosphere was unusually quiet. Apart from the occasional sounds of drinking tea and pouring water, almost no other sounds could be heard.

In this slightly shabby teahouse, several wooden tables are placed somewhat casually, and several people are sitting around the tables. Some of them are holding folding fans, while others are taking a sip from their teacups. Everyone's movements are natural and focused.

The storyteller stood in the middle of the room, his voice rising and falling, full of appeal.

There was a man and a woman sitting by the window. The man was still young, but he had a thin scar on his face. This scar not only did not destroy his appearance, but added a bit of fierceness to him. He was wearing a black gown, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and he looked heroic.

The woman sitting opposite the man was wearing a hat that covered her face. She was tall and dressed neatly in a green dress. She seemed to have casually placed her sword beside her, and her posture was free and easy. Although her face could not be seen, one could still feel a transcendent temperament in her every move.

The two people were Zhou Leng and Su Chen who were walking here.

Suddenly, the storyteller slapped the wooden stick hard, and there was a crisp sound, like thunder, which shocked everyone present. Everyone's attention was instantly attracted, and they pricked up their ears, afraid to miss every word that followed.

"Everyone, let's not waste any more time on small talk. Next, I want to tell you about the tragic case of the Cui family in Suzhou City."

The storyteller looked around, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "I'm sure everyone has heard a lot of rumors about this tragedy, right? Some say it was an open struggle between forces, some say it was the survivors of the Su family who came to seek revenge, and some say it was an evil ghost who wanted to take their lives. So, what is the truth? Let me tell you one by one today."

The storyteller's words made the audience prick up their ears.

"In fact, I know the inside story. Let's first talk about who the perpetrator is. It is Su Yao, the second daughter of the Su family. Back then, the ancestors of the Cui family, the Yuchi family, and the Su family all kowtowed to the ground and formed the Four Seas Alliance..."

The storyteller was still talking about the disputes among the three families of the Four Seas Alliance, and Su Chen was listening with great interest.

Zhou Leng turned his head to look out the window. A caravan was passing by on the road. The goods in the car were tightly wrapped. The men escorting the car had bulging muscles and machetes on their waists. They looked much more relaxed. The leader was wearing a sweatshirt and looked honest and simple, but the familiar face made Zhou Leng raise his eyebrows. That man was He Datian.

As they were talking, they stopped in front of the teahouse. One of them said, "Boss, have a bowl of noodles. It's almost noon. If the people don't rest, the horses should also rest for a while."

He Datian looked at the people in the convoy and nodded, and they stopped at the door of the restaurant opposite the teahouse.

A breeze blew in through the window, and the slightly lifted veil revealed Zhou Leng's beautiful face and slightly pursed lips. This scene was seen by He Datian. He stiffened, turned around, gave a few instructions, and quickly walked into the teahouse, then went to the table where Zhou Leng was and listened.

Su Chen looked at the person who came in confusion.

Zhou Leng slowly picked up the empty tea bowl, gently turned it over, and then slowly poured a cup of steaming hot tea. Seeing this, He Datian sat down next to Zhou Leng. His movements seemed unusually light, as if he was afraid of attracting other people's attention.

He Datian carefully moved closer to Zhou Leng and lowered his voice, almost whispering, "Miss Su, you are still here. I just got the news that the Four Seas Alliance has issued a hunting order. And there are rumors in the martial arts world that you have obtained the top internal skills. People from the Qingyang Sect and the Chisha Gang are also trying to find out about you. I suggest you go west. I came from that direction, and it is relatively peaceful there at the moment."

Zhou Leng raised his head slowly after hearing this, and his eyes met with He Datian's. She even said lightly, "It seems that you are doing well. Thank you for your reminder, I will pay more attention to it."

Seeing the other party's relaxed look, He Datian showed a relieved expression and responded: "Thanks to you, I am indeed doing okay now. However, you must be more careful. I have settled in Huaxi Town for a long time. If you need help with anything, you can come to me at any time." After saying that, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, then stood up and gave Zhou Leng a standard salute.

Zhou Leng nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. She watched He Datian turn around and leave, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

A group of men across from the teahouse were staring at He Datian. They were obviously very curious about the conversation between He Datian and Zhou Leng. One of them couldn't help but ask, "Boss, who was that person you were talking to just now? I've never seen you be so polite to anyone before."

He Datian stopped and looked back at the man, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. He explained: "He is an old acquaintance of mine, no need to ask too much. Well, everyone, eat quickly, we still have to continue on our journey. This journey is not peaceful, the sooner we hand over the goods, the sooner we can feel at ease."

"Oh, it's really too bad. It's been peaceful for decades, but now it's going to be chaotic again." Another man sighed, "Who made all the powerful people in the Four Seas Alliance die?"

The noisy voices of the group of people slowly dissipated into the air.

Zhou Leng looked at her brother's inquiring eyes and said softly, "Hunter."

Su Chen nodded in understanding.

Zhou Leng actually didn't care about the killing order from the Four Seas Alliance, it was just a gimmick made to save face, the three top masters of the Four Seas Alliance all died under her sword, who would come to her for revenge? On that day, she just didn't want to get entangled too much, so she killed all the direct descendants of the Cui family and then found Su Chen and fled far away.

The storyteller in the teahouse continued with saliva flying, "Let's talk about the Four Seas Alliance. It was once a well-known and powerful force in the martial arts world. However, it is now facing internal and external troubles and is in a precarious situation! First, the Su family was wiped out, and then all the direct descendants of the Cui family were killed in blood. This is really a case of "misfortunes never come singly, and the ship is late and encounters headwinds!"

He paused, looked around, and saw that the tea drinkers were listening attentively, so he continued: "Without the top warriors, the Four Seas Alliance is like losing its backbone. People inside are in panic, and powerful enemies outside are eyeing them covetously. In this case, it is hard to say whether this huge territory can be defended!"

At this point, the storyteller suddenly raised his voice, "Dear tea drinkers, in my opinion, this chaotic world is about to come!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp "bang" sound, and the wake-up stick hit the table heavily again, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhou Leng put down a few pieces of silver, and the brother and sister left the teahouse. Behind them, they could still hear the waiter loudly saying, "Thank you, two heroes, for the reward."

Half a day later, the sun had already set, and the afterglow cast a shadow on the official road, lengthening the two figures. They rode fast horses, galloping past like the wind, raising dust flying behind them.

The wind blew up their clothes, making a rustling sound, as if seeing them off. The two figures gradually walked away and finally disappeared at the end of the official road.

"Second sister, where are we going?" Su Chen shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the empty official road.

"The world is so big, we can go anywhere." The woman's voice was clear and pleasant, "Go and do what you want to do."

Su Chen laughed out loud when he heard this.

The cups are full of wine, the shelves are filled with books, the world is far away at my feet, and fame and fortune are not my concerns.
