Chapter 1152: Hu Baiwan, Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero
“Does the saying, ‘Being aloof to all matters in the world’ describe Chinese people like you?”
No one knew whether it was because the mysterious West Region woman was just too alluring or whether it was because she had no weapons on her, but for the first time ever, the old servant guarding the white-robed young man did not stop her from approaching this time.
The elite at the later stage of Myth Realm had a wary look in his eyes, but he did not move. He just stood quietly behind the white-clad young man while he stared at the mysterious West Region woman, who leaned forward and twisted her body like a beautiful, humanoid snake.
The mysterious West Region woman was clearly powerful, because she was unphased by the wary look from the old man behind the white-clad young man. Her eyes shone in a charming manner, like a sparkling lake in spring. She stared at the outstanding young man’s side profile. “Are you a scholar of the Chinese plains?”
The mysterious West Region woman seemed to have a near fervent obsession toward Chinese scholars. She stared at the white-clad young man as he lifted his cup to take sips from it. Her gaze was burning with intense passion.
She gave off a sincere and cordial feeling. As she continued asking him questions, even the white-clad young man found that he was rude if he continued being cold toward her.
He frowned and turned his head to say, “I’ve never asked for your name.”
The white-clad young man had never spoken since he entered the inn. Now, he had finally opened his mouth. Silver Wolf, Phantasmal Shadow, and all the players had their ears perk up. Even the barbarians and red-clad Lammas in the side hall to the right put on attentive expressions. Their gazes were intense.
“Oh.”
The mysterious West Region woman covered her mouth and widened her eyes, looking surprised, as if she just remembered something very important. “That’s right, I nearly forgot that you Chinese place a high value over etiquette. When you meet each other, you must first announce your name. I am Osaya. What’s your name, sir?”
When she asked her question, she sounded delighted, she sounded mischievous and cute, and it was refreshing to all who heard her.
“Osaya...” The white-clad young man hummed a little. “It’s a very special name.”
He sounded as if those words came from the depths of his heart. With his handsome face, he gave off the air of an elegant young man.
Before his voice faded away, a fragrant scent wafted into his nostrils.
The white-clad young man saw the figure in front of him move, and a soft and fragrant thing was pushed into his arms. His calm and aloof expression finally changed a little.
The other people in the inn cried out in shock. They saw black gauze dance in the air, and right before their eyes, the perfect beauty, Osaya, tossed herself into the white-clad young man’s arms. With gentle movements, she squeezed her way into the white-clad young man’s embrace. She raised her arms and hooked them around the young man’s neck in a lackadaisical fashion. Then, she gave a quick peck to his face.
The inn instantly fell silent!
Everyone stared at the white-clad young man, who now had a beautiful woman in his arms, and all the men’s eyes shone intensely with envy.
Only the barbarians in the side hall to the right were not very surprised when they saw Osaya act in such a manner. Only the leader had a slightly sour expression.
*****
“That lady sure is straightforward and bold.
“Even with a beauty in his arms, he’s not affected. That boy sure is popular with the ladies. I wonder who is his master, and which sect he belongs to.” Knife stared at Osaya’s flexible body and wild, bronze skin with jealousy in his eyes. He sighed.
At this moment, Silver Wolf suddenly spoke. His tone was grave. “I knew it. I was right.”
“What?”
“The woman is making the old man nervous. At the very least, she’s at the peak of Myth Realm. In fact, she might even be at the dao of heaven.”
“No way...”
Knife and the other two were shocked. They could not believe that the beauty before their eyes would be at the level of a sect master, even though she did not seem threatening at all, and they did not find her revolting.
“If she can make the old man nervous, she’s definitely not an easy person to deal with. You should have noticed, but the white-clad teenager is not nervous at all. His strength should be above his follower’s,” Silver Wolf explained softly.
Knife and the other two did not have any objections toward this.
The white-clad teenager appeared to be calm throughout the entire matter. All the people in the hall had their emotions stir when Osaya appeared, but he was the only one who was unaffected. In fact, even when Osaya landed beside him, not a single drop of wine spilled from his cup. His movements were natural, and his expression relaxed. He gave others an unfathomable feeling, as if he was not affected by all that was around him.
He was definitely an elite!
“Check their identities.” Phantasmal Shadow, who had just entered the inn, had also noticed how extraordinary the white-clad young man was. At that moment, she stared at his side profile, and she gave an order firmly.
“Got it.” A messenger pigeon flew from Wu Kuo’s hands.
*****
“Osaya, could you get down?”
“Why? Do you dislike me?”
Her charming eyes and unhidden affection was incredibly alluring.
“This is the first time we met. Our ancestors have already mentioned that a man and a woman are not to touch each other.”
“Men and women are not to touch each other... I do like Chinese scholars when they speak while they turn their heads, but you look much better than they do.” Osaya’s naive and romantic tone, her perfect, angelic face, and her demonic figure were incredibly stimulating to the men nearby. They really wanted to be in place of the white-clad young man, but what caused the people to be even more impressed was that the young man still remained calm.
“You haven’t told me your name.”
Osaya obediently got down from the white-clad young man’s body, but she did not return to her original place. She remained stuck close to him. Even so, many people could tell that the white-clad young man looked as if a great burden had been released from his shoulders.
Many people perked their ears.
“Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero.”
The white-clad young man’s answer caused many people in the hall to be stunned, as if they remembered something.
“Are you from the Murong Clan? An aristocratic clan?” Osaya’s eyes sparkled, and she asked the question that had been lingering in everyone’s minds.
The white-clad young man smiled and did not say anything. He did not nod in confirmation, but neither did he deny it.
However, his elegance and poise were indeed like that of someone from an aristocratic family. Many people believed it somewhat and thought that another genius had come out of the Murong Clan, and he was someone who was even stronger than Murong Fu.
Just as everyone listened to their conversation and tried to get useful information, a loud sound suddenly came from the side hall to the right.
Many people in the inn were shocked.
The leading barbarian stared at the white-clad young man and Osaya with a sour expression.
The Chinese-speaking barbarin stood up swiftly. “Osaya, stop getting all affectionate with that Chinese brat, or else my master cannot guarantee that he will be able to leave the desert alive.”
Everyone in the inn could sense a hint of jealousy from his words, and they stared at the leader with shock.
It seemed that there was something between this barbarian and Osaya.
When she heard this, Osaya reacted in a very strange manner.
She glared at the side hall to the right. “You have no business to talk about who I like, Hu Baiwan.”
“But you forget, without my master, you wouldn’t have been able to gain your current success.” The barbarian snorted.
“Your master was full of wishful thinking. He gave me those things himself.” Even when Osaya was angry, she looked incredibly wild and alluring. After she said the first two sentences, she paused. “Today, I came to Dragon Gate Inn, and when I enter the desert palace, I will give all that you desire from the palace. At that time, we will have cleared our debts with each other. We will no longer owe each other anything.”
When they heard this, the people in the inn understood what happened. They had shocked expressions appear on their faces.
Hu Baiwan! The richest merchant in the world!
He built the Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts in the Chinese plains, and he tried to use his treasures to whittle down the strength of the Chinese martial artists. He was right before their eyes right now.
It was no wonder why he had Myth Realm elites clear the path for him and why he displayed his splendour in such a flashy manner.
“So, it’s him!”
“Looks like the rumors about the desert palace are highly likely going to be true!”
“Or else, it would be impossible for a person like Hu Baiwan to come to this place personally.”
Phantasmal Shadow, Silver Wolf, and the rest became excited.
The treasure houses in the Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts were filled with items Hu Baiwan placed inside. Even so, they longed for them with great desire, causing many players to die for them. If someone like Hu Baiwan had been lured to this place, they could already imagine just how attractive were the treasures at the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn, or rather, the desert palace!
“Mobilize our forces!”
Phantasmal Shadow immediately reacted to the situation. Her tone was solemn and resolute. She had Wu Kuo quickly release the second messenger pigeon.
Silver Wolf and the other players in the inn felt excited, as if the flames of passion were burning in them.
However, many people wanted to know the relationship between Osaya and Hu Baiwan. They also wanted to know more information regarding the desert palace.
As of current, what they knew was that Osaya seemed to owe Osaya a favor. She intended to enter the desert palace and help Hu Baiwan obtain what he wanted to clear her debt to him, and they would no longer owe each other anything.
But Hu Baiwan’s reaction became even stranger.
He swept his gaze coldly over the white-clad young man beside Osaya, and with stiff Chinese, he said, “You... like this scholar?”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Osaya could see the killing intent in Hu Baiwan’s eyes. She straightened her body slightly. Her expression turned grave. She understood Hu Baiwan very well. Not only did he have a lot of elites by his side and received service akin to an emperor, he himself was an elite. If it were not for the fact that the desert palace was at the borders of the Chinese plains and West Region, no one would have been able to stop Hu Baiwan from looting the treasures in the desert palace. Even so, it was incredibly easy for Hu Baiwan to kill someone.
All the martial artists in Dragon Gate Inn could already decipher Hu Baiwan’s killing intent toward the white-clad young man. All of them became wary.
“You’re the sacred lady of West Region. Only my master is worthy of you in all of West Region and even the world, and no one is allowed to touch my king’s woman.”
As Hu Baiwan spoke in his words, the Chinese barbarian spoke once more, and his killing intent burned.
Right after he finished speaking, the red-clad Lamas behind him had fierce and ruthless expressions appear on their faces. They moved out of the side hall with steady footsteps and surrounded the old man and the teenager.
But these people did not dare to attack him immediately.
After all, while this white-clad teenager appeared to have a low qi realm and only had rather commendable courage and elegance, he had an elite who was at the later stage of Myth Realm standing behind him. This was someone who was at the level of a sect master, and this group of people did not dare to act too fearlessly.
“Hu Baiwan!”
Osaya stood up angrily.
Hu Baiwan lifted his cup in a relaxed manner, but he said nothing.
When the old man in the layer stage of Myth Realm saw that the pressure brought by the red-clad Lamas was becoming greater once they surrounded them, his expression turned dark, and his hands were hidden under his sleeves.
The hostile air in the air became greater.
At that moment, the white-clad young man spoke, “Osaya, you should leave.”
After he spoke, all the people in the inn put on shocked and disdainful expressions, and that included Osaya. She could not believe that the carefree Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero would be defeated by Hu Baiwan’s imposing attitude.
Was he admitting defeat?
But the white-clad young man’s next words caused everyone to feel their hearts clench.
“You owe Hu Baiwan a favor, and in the end, you will definitely help Hu Baiwan. I won’t fight a meaningless battle, and neither do I want to bring trouble to myself. Leave, all of you.”
