Chapter 525 - 525 511 Premeditation

Chapter 525: Chapter 511: Premeditation Chapter 525: Chapter 511: Premeditation “Your apprentice saw Yuan Menhai at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?” Gua Zhengnie was still in disbelief. “Yuan Menhai is dead! He died in the Central Plains!”

That was the news spread by Xiao Bai.

“He isn’t dead. He’s at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. I’ve always suspected Xiao Bai is scheming something. I’ve been investigating him. Not only is Yuan Menhai at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, but so is Ming Bei.” Gui Lang called his apprentice over for confirmation.

The apprentice hastily confirmed, “Yes, I saw them with my own eyes. They were all at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.”

Gui Lang then said, “Sect Leader, even given ten times my courage, I wouldn’t dare lie to you. Be careful. If I’m not mistaken, they’ve already made preparations and set up an ambush. They’re waiting for the Alliance Leader to step in. And once you do, they’ll surely kill you.”

Gua Zhengnie gave a cold smile, somewhat in disbelief. “They want to kill me?”

Gui Lang replied, “Alliance Leader, think about it. Recently, Xiao Bai has been speaking ill of you daily and claimed he would leave Sky Domain City. And all of a sudden, he changes his attitude and even recruits a large number of people, primarily from the Sky Domain Sect.

He kept hidden until it was too late to report Luo Hai’s case. Yet he still concealed the whereabouts of Yuan Menhai and Ming Bei. If they’re at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, how could he possibly not know? He’s in charge, so why doesn’t he tell you?

The Sky Domain City originally belonged to Yuan Menhai. Would Yuan Menhai submit to us? Absolutely not! There’s only one explanation: Xiao Bai has colluded with Yuan Menhai. What could they be up to if they have joined forces?”

After hearing this, Gua Zhengnie had an epiphany.

Gui Lang continued, “The sudden change and the recruitment of so many Sky Domain Sect members… What’s his purpose? Obviously, he has some ulterior motive. It would be hard for him to kill you in your residence, but if he lures you out, especially to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, which has been prepared by Xiao Bai, you would indeed feel a chill down your spine. Trust me, Xiao Bai is definitely bad news. There’s danger inside; once in, you might not be able to get out. Please think it over.”

Having heard this, Gua Zhengnie nodded and decided, “Let’s return.”

A cold sweat broke out on Gui Lang as he suggested, “We should immediately gather our men, encircle the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and probe for the truth. Whether Yuan Menhai and Ming Bei are inside will soon be clarified.”

Gua Zhengnie nodded again.

“After killing Luo Hai so brutally, how could they join the Third Demon just for a few words and a handful of silver taels? Just thinking about it makes it suspicious.”

Gua Zhengnie was stroking his chin, pondering deeply. The more he thought, the more sense Gui Lang’s words made.

They turned around.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Han were heading towards the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. At the entrance, they hailed one of their men and asked, “Did the Alliance Leader enter the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?” They were awaiting the good news.

That man reported, “He was about to enter just now, but then Gui Lang arrived, frantically said something to the Alliance Leader, and then the Alliance Leader turned around and left.”

“When did this happen?”

“Just now.”

Xiao Bai was startled. After a moment of silence, he said, “Damn, Gui Lang must have discovered something. This bastard is bad news.”

Xiao Han suggested, “Could it be that you’re just being overly cautious, father?”

“No, Gua Zhengnie was already at the entrance, and Gui Lang has always been suspicious of me. Gui Lang arrived, and Gua Zhengnie immediately changed his mind and didn’t enter. He didn’t even greet me. Isn’t that odd enough?”

Hearing this, Xiao Han asked, “What should we do?”

“There must be danger.” Xiao Bai, however, didn’t know where the danger lay. He called that man over again and ordered, “You must rush up and inform Yuan Menhai. Our plan might have been exposed. Ask him to bring his men down immediately. I will go and delay Gua Zhengnie. No matter what happens tonight, Gua Zhengnie must not be allowed to return to his mansion!” Xiao Bai didn’t want to take any risks; he intended to kill Gua Zhengnie no matter what.

The man immediately rushed into the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Xiao Han asked, “Father, could the situation possibly not be as serious as you think?”

Xiao Bai told him, “It may be worse than we imagined. Gui Lang has always been suspicious of me. Gua Zhengnie was at the entrance but left without entering. Isn’t that suspicious enough? We can’t afford to take this risk. Understand?”

Xiao Han nodded in acknowledgment.

Xiao Bai added, “Even if we lose more men, it’s better than losing both of us. The situation might get messy, but we’d better mess things up now.”

With haste and heavy hearts, Xiao Bai and Xiao Han rushed forward. The sky had already grown darker.

Xiao Han pointed ahead, asking, “Isn’t that Gua Zhengnie over there?”

Xiao Bai nodded, spying Gui Lang and Gua Zhengnie along with several followers heading north. They entered a crowded street.

“How can we stop him? If he really suspects us, what are we supposed to do?” Xiao Han was bewildered and hesitant.

Xiao Bai grabbed two black cloth strips, one for himself and one for his son, saying, “We charge forward and keep him occupied.”

Before he could finish his sentence, a young girl burst out from the shadows with her face covered by a black cloth strip, lunging toward Xiao Bai. The girl was Chun’er, and her sudden appearance startled Xiao Bai.

Chun’er and Xiang Qiao, each with a bundle on their back, had come together.

Xiao Bai exclaimed, “What are you doing here?”

Chun’er replied, “Aren’t you planning to kill Gua Zhengnie tonight? I came to find you.”

“Damn it, you fool! Didn’t I tell you to stay at Gua Zhengnie’s mansion?”

“I don’t like that place.” Seeing the nervous expression on the two men’s faces, Chun’er asked, “What happened?”

Xião Bó responded to this, as an idea formed in his mind and he warmed to Chun’er, “Chún’er, you must help us father and son; otherwise we won’t survive tonight. You have to keep Gua Zhengnie busy, no matter what. Within the next four hours, you can’t let Gua Zhengnie return to his mansion.”

Chun’er did not understand.

Pointing ahead, Xiao Bai said, “That’s Gua Zhengnie. No matter what, you have to keep him engaged. You can even promise to marry him. But never allow him to return to his mansion within four hours. Otherwise, we are doomed tonight.”

Chun’er was even more puzzled.

“Stop thinking about it, distract him as usual, do not ask anything else.”

“You promised to marry me.”

“I promised, I’ll grandly marry you.”

“Alright.” Having said that, Chun’er turned around, with Xiang Qiao following her. Chun’er was rescued from the Yihong Brothel by Xiao Bai. She had been sold there, and if it weren’t for him, she would have spent her entire life there.

But Xiao Bai stopped them, “Give me the bundle.”

Chun’er and Xiang Qiao hastily gave him the bundle, which Xiao Bai tossed into a shop.

“A lot of silver taels are in there!” Chun’er exclaimed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll return it all to you later.” Xiao Bai waved his hand and Chun’er, with Xiang Qiao running after her, took off.

Xiao Bai turned back.

Xiao Han was still worried and asked, “Can she really distract Gua Zhengnie?”

“We have to trust her.” Xiao Bai didn’t have a better plan and this seemed more secure than the previous one. He turned to Xiao Han, “Hurry up and coordinate with Yuan Menhai. Tell him to make a move in North City, in Zun Yu’s territory. Remember, only act on Zun Yu’s territory.”

Zun Yu lived in North City, across his territory was Gua Zhengnie’s mansion, the last area to cross.

“Father, what are you about to do?”

“I am going to find Zun Yu, I hope I can persuade him to join us.”

“You want to persuade Zun Yu to join us?”

“Yes, hopefully, I can. Make sure to tell Yuan Menhai. Only start once you’re in Zun Yu’s territory. I’ll try to persuade Zun Yu!” Xiao Bai looked forward, staring straight ahead.

Xiao Han walked away.

Xiao Bai was watching Chun’er, who was up ahead with Gua Zhengnie, trying to see if Chun’er could really distract him.

Chun’er rushed over and called out, “Sir!”

Gua Zhengnie was taken aback, and turning around, he said, “Chun’er, what are you and Xiang Qiao doing here?”

“You had to go out on an important task and I was bored at home, of course, I wanted to go out for a stroll.” Chun’er asked, “Have you finished your task, sir?”

“Yes, I have.” Gua Zhengnie and his men began to slow down.

Xiao Bai quickly turned and headed to another alley towards Zun Yu’s mansion.

“Are we heading back home now?” Chun’er suddenly surrounded Gua Zhengnie.

Gua Zhengnie nodded.

“Sir, it’s still early, you never take me out for a stroll.” Chun’er started acting like a playful child, looking around eagerly.

“Next time, I have important business this time.”

“You always say next time, I don’t know how many times you’ve said it. I won’t have it, you have to accompany me for a stroll tonight.”

“My dear Chun’er, I really have something important to do.”

“I’m hungry.” Chun’er grabbed Gua Zhengnie’s clothes and started to act coquettishly.

Gua Zhengnie’s heart melted, he said, “Let Xiang Qiao accompany you.”

Chun’er continued to behave spoiled, “How can Xiang Qiao’s company compare to yours? I want you, my lord, to accompany me. Just for a day. Please, I just want to have some food on the streets.”

Gua Zhengnie looked at Gui Lang.

Gui Lang said in a low voice, “The business is more important.”

“Please, sir, I’m really hungry. Can you accompany me to eat something before going back? Just once.” Chun’er held on to Gua Zhengnie’s clothes tightly.

Gua Zhengnie’s heart immediately melted, he turned back to Gui Lang and said, “You go back first, relay my orders, get everyone ready, I’ll be back soon.” He didn’t think the matter was urgent.

Chun’er was bouncing and hopping with joy, like a blooming flower, she said, “That’s great!” She pointed forward and said, “I want to eat this, and that,” pulling Gua Zhengnie with her.

Gui Lang had no choice but to leave the men behind, and hurriedly headed towards the North City, constantly pondering along the way, “I will certainly not let Xiao Bai off tonight, I must expose him and leave him without a place to be buried.”

He needed some time to prepare his forces.

In great urgency, Yuan Menhai and Ming Bei received the news and rushed out with hundreds of men. On the way, they bumped into Xiao Han.
