“Why don’t you have some?” Xiang Yu grabbed a handful of peanuts and offered them to Shen San, but Shen San did not take them.

Xiang Yu smiled, then placed them on the table.

Shen San didn’t speak again, just sitting there with his cigar, watching Xiang Yu, his eyes showing no emotion.

Xiang Yu looked back at him with the same expression, the two men locked in a silent standoff.

The room was deathly quiet, especially with Ding Yongzhi standing there, sweating profusely.

He had already cursed Xiang Yu a hundred times in his mind, for being so recklessly ignorant of danger.

Finally, it was Shen San who couldn’t help but speak, “You’ve got quite some nerve, kid.”

“That’s what everyone says,” Xiang Yu replied before continuing to shell his peanuts.

“How about the matter you were supposed to consider?” Shen San asked, taking a puff of his cigar.

“What matter?” Xiang Yu asked, perplexed.

At this, Shen San’s eyes suddenly turned icy.

He felt ignored, and no one had ever dared to ignore him like this.

Seeing that the two had begun to talk, Ding Yongzhi had initially breathed a sigh of relief, but now he tensed up again.

Noticing that Xiang Yu had forgotten, he quickly stepped forward to remind him, “The matter you were asked to think about that night.”

With this prompt, Xiang Yu had only to think back briefly to know what it was about.

When they last met, Shen San had told him to follow his lead, an offer Xiang Yu hadn’t taken seriously at all.

This time, Shen San must have come for that very reason.

Slapping his forehead as if struck by sudden realization, Xiang Yu said, “Look at my memory; I completely forgot.” He then downed his tea in one gulp and added, “Heavenly Immortal, I truly admire you.”

Xiang Yu paused, then continued, “However, I’ve gotten used to my freedom and don’t like feeling constrained.

So…”

Xiang Yu’s message was evident; he did not want to join them.

“Are you refusing?” Shen San asked with a dark expression.

Today, he was truly angry.

Not only had Xiang Yu ignored him and forgotten the matter they had discussed, but he was also rejecting him.

In his view, taking on Xiang Yu was a sign of respect, and Xiang Yu should have eagerly accepted the offer.

But Xiang Yu’s manner suggested he felt above it all, which Shen San found particularly distasteful.

When Xiang Yu refused, Ding Yongzhi knew it was all over—this ignorant fool was doomed.

Such a golden opportunity missed, choosing instead to court disaster.

At the same time, Ding Yongzhi bitterly resented that Shen San hadn’t chosen him to follow, because he would have accepted with pleasure.

Xiang Yu nodded with a smile, but said nothing.

Shen San snorted coldly and then took out a gun from his jacket, calmly loading it bullet by bullet, his movements slow.

Witnessing this, Ding Yongzhi trembled over his entire body.

It seemed Shen San was ready for a bloodbath.

After killing Xiang Yu, he was almost certain Shen San wouldn’t let him off either.

This damn Xiang Yu.

Ding Yongzhi thought this and then subconsciously touched the gun at his waist, readying himself to react on the fly.

Shen San loaded seven bullets into the gun and then raised it slowly.

At that moment, his eyes held only mockery.

He wanted to see Xiang Yu scared out of his wits; he relished the feeling of others kneeling before him, the exhilarating sense of supremacy where he could kill anyone he wished.

Just as Shen San lifted his gun, Ding Yongzhi suddenly stepped forward, drew his own weapon, and pressed it against Xiang Yu’s head.

He knew he had to show some initiative now, or else he wouldn’t even know how he’d end up dead later.

“Third Master, let me handle this bastard who knows nothing about life and death.

Don’t dirty your hands,” Ding Yongzhi said, already having disabled the safety.

He glanced at Shen San out of the corner of his eye and saw a look of confusion on Shen San’s face.

A sense of alarm rose in his heart.

Had he done something wrong?

“Who do you think you are?” Shen San said, looking at Ding Yongzhi with impatience and then pointing the gun at him.

Fearing for his life, Ding Yongzhi quickly knelt down, “Third Master, spare me, I just couldn’t stand this kid’s attitude towards you.”

Seeing Ding Yongzhi grovel, Xiang Yu almost laughed out loud.

They had been addressing each other like brothers just moments ago, sharing their ‘longing’.

The speed of this face change was truly remarkable.

“Really, what do you think should be done?” Shen San asked Ding Yongzhi with a mocking tone.

His mood was foul, and he had wanted to kill Xiang Yu to vent his anger, but he had some reluctance in killing Xiang Yu, considering his talents.

Now, with Ding Yongzhi suddenly stepping up, he had found a perfect outlet.

Ding Yongzhi, drenched in cold sweat and trembling uncontrollably, knelt there with his head bowed, “Xiang Yu is ungrateful and unaware of Third Master’s kind intentions.

It would be best to kill such a person.”

“I didn’t want to kill him, but I really want to kill you,” said Shen San as he again lifted his gun and pressed it against Ding Yongzhi’s head.

He had to kill someone today to ease his anger, and this old fellow in front of him was the perfect target.

Ding Yongzhi knew his chances were slim today, but he didn’t want to die without a fight.

Clutching his own gun, if Shen San truly intended to shoot, he had to resist.

It didn’t matter who the opponent was, not even if it were the king of heaven.

He would kill Shen San and then flee to the ends of the earth with his son.

Anything was better than dying here.

As Shen San gripped the gun and was about to shoot, suddenly, a girl’s voice came from outside.

“Shen San, are you done with your business?

Hurry up, I can hardly wait,” the girl’s voice was enchanting, suggesting she must be beautiful.

Shen San quickly put away the gun upon hearing this.

Then, ‘thump thump thump’—the sound of footsteps climbing the stairs echoed, followed by a vibrant young girl pushing the door open and walking in.

The girl was dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt, her hair tied back in a ponytail.

She was slim and tall with fair skin.

Particularly striking were her big, watery eyes, which flickered like those of an anime character, causing one’s heartbeat to accelerate involuntarily at the sight.

“Miss, why did you come up here?” Shen San quickly stood up with a smile.

“I’ve waited so long already.

Didn’t you say it would take just a moment?

Who is this?” The anime beauty looked at Ding Yongzhi who was still kneeling down.

Ding Yongzhi was staring at the beautiful girl, completely dumbfounded.

He had never seen anyone so beautiful before; could she be the Heavenly Immortal?

The beauty, noticing the kneeling man staring at her, stepped forward, grabbed Ding Yongzhi’s face, and pinched it hard, “What are you looking at, old man?

You’re so advanced in years and still so lecherous.”

The beauty pinched Ding Yongzhi’s face hard and then tugged at his ear.

Although Ding Yongzhi felt pain, he also found the experience enjoyable, because the person inflicting it was a beautiful woman; there’s a saying that the basest of men are invincible.

All their attention was on the beauty that had just entered, but they hadn’t noticed the expression on Xiang Yu’s face.

Xiang Yu slowly released his grip on the dagger, looking at the beautiful girl with surprise and stupor, a name suddenly echoing in his mind: “Zhong Min…”.
