Chapter 57: CH 55

Chang Chun just sneered in reply but Cao Tuo’s expression suddenly changed as he grabbed Jin Yu and shoved him out of the way. With one hand on the wall, Cao Tuo jumped out of the way just as a poisonous needle landed on the spot where he had been standing.

Cao Tuo’s blood ran cold. He quickly jumped up to the ceiling, hitting the beams so that half of the roof collapsed.

Chang Chun was surprised. He hadn’t expected that Cao Tuo had become this strong after the two years that they hadn’t seen each other. Using a skill, he immediately raised a force shield to protect himself from the falling stones. By the time the air cleared, the only thing he could see was rubble. Cheng Nuo, Cao Tuo, and Jin Yu were all gone.

Cao Tuo was running while carrying Cheng Nuo over his shoulder and Jin Yu under his right arm but he didn’t seem to be too burdened by the two of them.

Although Cheng Nuo’s face was twitching from the extreme pain, he appreciated the fact that Cao Tuo had rescued him. He forced out a slight smile and said, “Cao Tuo, you’ve become very strong.”

Cao Tuo smiled at him shyly. He was running quite fast and he soon found a secluded place to hide them all in.

Cheng Nuo reached out to check Jin Yu’s pulse and said, “He’s been poisoned by the ‘seven-day confusion’ smoke. Take out my storage bag.”

Cao Tuo quickly found the antidote in the storage bag.

Jin Yu recovered after taking it and gnashed his teeth in rage, cursing Chang Chun.

Cao Tuo shook his head at Jin Yu, warning him to stay silent. He said in a worried tone, “Big brother Cheng, how do you feel?’

Cheng Nuo was pale but said, “I’ll be okay. I just need a few days to prepare the antidote but before that, the poison needle in my flesh had to be removed.”

Teeth clenched, he tore open his clothes and asked Cao Tuo to make a cross-shaped cut at the place where the needle was embedded. Blood mixed with poison flowed out and Cheng Nuo used a magnet to draw the needle out.

Thinking of Liu Guang made Cheng Nuo feel anxious. Since they were in a sparsely-populated area, news of their capture would be slow to reach the sect but Cheng Nuo reckoned that it would be a month at most before Liu Guang heard about it. Knowing how reckless Liu Guang was, he might immediately run off alone to rescue Cheng Nuo.

These bandits were quite daring people who had been entrenched here for a long time. It was obvious that the nearby forces couldn’t eradicate them. This time, although the loss wasn’t exactly small, the little noble bride wasn’t very important so it wasn’t a given that his noble relatives and the city lord would send a large-scale rescue team to retrieve him.

Cao Tuo pondered their predicament for a while before coming up with a plan. “Big brother Cheng needs to lay low for a few days to treat the poison and he shouldn’t return to the jail cell because Chang Chun would definitely try to mess with him again. I’ll go to the boss to plead with him to put you in our group. I’m sorry big brother Cheng, I was wrong to ask you to stay in the cell until I found a way to get you out of there later.”

Cheng Nuo nodded. Jin Yu was right and the sooner he went, the better. Cheng Nuo was afraid that Cao Tuo and Jin Yu would be implicated if Chang Chun went to the leaders and told them that they had escaped together with Cheng Nuo. Besides, Cheng Nuo couldn’t escape given his current physical condition. After taking an antidote, Cheng Nuo felt better. He tidied his clothes and stood up. The three of them walked straight through to the main hall of the bandit camp.

The lights were blazing brightly in the main hall and the noise of their revelry could be heard from afar. It was clear from the way that the guards smiled as they greeted Cao Tuo and let him pass through immediately that Cao Tuo was a somewhat influential figure among the bandits.

Liu Wu was sitting at the center of the main hall, his arms wrapped around the little bride in his red wedding gown. From time to time, he would kiss the bride with his oily lips, making the little boy almost faint from fear. The other bandit chiefs were also drinking wine and eating meat with a trembling female seated beside each of them.

Cao Tuo looked around and saw that Chang Chun hadn’t returned yet. He was probably still looking for them. Cao Tuo took a few steps forward with Cheng Nuo and smiled, saying, “Boss, I found an old friend among the prisoners. He’s seriously injured and was part of the medical team. I’d like to ask you to assign him to our group. What do you think, boss?”

Liu Wu was flushed with success. He glanced at Cheng Nuo casually and said with a smile, “A coincidence! Are you sure he’s trustworthy?”

Cao Tuo smiled and said, “We’re childhood friends, so naturally he’s someone I can trust.”

Jin Yu chimed in, “Boss, this childhood friend of ours is very loyal. I also vouch for him.”

It was then that Chang Chun arrived and, hurrying forward with a gloomy expression on his face, shouted from afar, “Boss, that person is treacherous and cunning, don’t fall for his tricks!”

Chang Chun had thought that Jin Yu would bring Cheng Nuo down the mountain so he had chased them for a few miles but when he didn’t find any trace of them, he realized he was wrong and had ridden his magical beast back up the mountain. He glared fiercely at the three of them and took a few steps forward.

Chu Yunxuan, who was holding a wine cup, seemed to enjoy the spectacle and said in a jocular manner, “Could it be that there’s an ulterior motive? When my tenth brother left the party I thought he was off to enjoy a secret affair.”

Chang Chun laughed awkwardly. He had been in such a hurry that he hadn’t been able to change his clothes. The female who had been assigned to him had been tied up and left behind. How could he be in the mood to mess around with that female?

He glared at Cheng Nuo and said, “I know him; he’s a treacherous person. I was only afraid that the chiefs would be deceived by his glib tongue.”

Cheng Nuo’s heart sank. He asked himself if he had ever done anything bad to Chang Chun when he was a child for him to seek his death so many times. Cheng Nuo rarely dislikes people but now he really hated Chang Chun!

Cao Tuo tugged on his sleeves and took a step forward. Smiling, he said, “Boss, I’m afraid that the tenth chief must have misunderstood something. I’m willing to pledge my life to guarantee that big brother Cheng isn’t a treacherous person.”

Jin Yu said in a low voice, “Big brother Cheng would never betray a brother!”

Jin Yu glared angrily at Chang Chun when he finished speaking.

Liu Wu put his wine cup down and looked thoughtfully at Cheng Nuo. Seeing that the latter didn’t cower under his gaze and that Cheng Nuo’s eyes were gentle, Liu Wu said with a smile, “Second brother, what do you think?”

Chu Yunxuan didn’t like Chang Chun but Jin Yu was one of his trusted subordinates so he smiled and said, “Since these two brothers who are trusted by elder brother are willing to vouch for him, why not let him stay with us? He can always be killed later if he proves to be disloyal.”

Chang Chun took a step forward and said anxiously, “Elder brother and second brother, don’t be fooled by him! If he secretly plots with outsiders to destroy the camp, how can two minor gang leaders bear the responsibility then?”

In his impatience, Chang Chun had moved forward until he was almost pushing against the table in front of Liu Wu. Liu Wu’s expression darkened and he felt a little upset.

Chu Yunxuan chuckled. “I know that Jin Yu, Cao Tuo, and you are all from the same home town. So this Cheng Nuo is also one of your old acquaintances… Could it be that you have some personal grudge against him?”

Chang Chun hadn’t expected him to be so insightful so he was tongue-tied for a while.

Chu Yunxuan chuckled and looked as though he was enjoying an entertaining show. Chang Chun had left earlier, then Jin Yu and Cao Tuo had left the party hurriedly. It was probably because of this person from the same home town, right?

Cheng Nuo had been keeping his mouth shut all this time and he was shocked at this unusual development. Chu Yunxuan had once gone to the slums to show off but was seriously injured by Bai Rui. Now this same person was speaking up for Cheng Nuo?

Fortunately, Cao Tuo still had his wits about him. He quickly pulled Cheng Nuo forward and said, “Thank you second brother for your trust in me!”

Cheng Nuo made up his mind and said, “Thank you, second brother. I will live up to your trust!”

He bitterly smiled to himself. So he would have to become a bandit for a while even though he was a disciple of a righteous sect… he would be lucky to keep his life now.

This seemed like a trivial incident to Liu Wu so he just smiled and said, “Then give him a drink, Cao Tuo.”

Chang Chun was furious but all he could do was secretly gnash his teeth. He couldn’t do anything right now because Liu Wu was a man of prowess and Chu Yunxuan was too cunning. However, sooner or later he will find a way to kill them. At that time, he’ll tear Cheng Nuo’s body to pieces to vent his anger! Chang Chun restrained himself and sat down, pondering on his planned revenge as he drank.

Cao Tuo and Jin Yu were about to leave with Cheng Nuo when suddenly something passed over their heads at great speed, as something was thrown towards the place where Liu Wu was seated. Liu Wu was a bit drunk but his reflexes were fast. He struck out with a fist to send the object flying to the center of the main hall.

Everyone was shocked to see that the object lying on the floor was the leader of a group who was in charge of patrolling the back of the mountain. His body had been broken by Liu Wu and he was clearly dying. Liu Wu instantly became soberer as he stood up and shouted, “Who dares break into my Lan Yue Camp? Show yourself!”

Cheng Nuo and Jin Yu stepped aside. Cheng Nuo was puzzled by this turn of events. Could it be a rescue team sent by Liao Ji City? This is too fast!

The sound of a young man’s laughter came from the darkness outside. The sound was very charming and pleasant. The people inside the hall were surprised. There was a gust of wind and the whole hall was filled with the rich fragrance of rare flowers.

When the visitors appeared at the entrance of the hall, the corners of Cheng Nuo’s mouth twitched. ****! Is this place Yihua Palace? Is it Ouyang Ke? Seeing that these people had broken into Lan Yue Camp that had over a thousand bandits, with countless people patrolling the perimeter, it was obvious that they were extraordinarily powerful.

Four females dressed in pure white robes were carrying a sedan, with two more females trailing them. The sedan chair was covered with white translucent curtains and one could see the outline of two people seated inside. The females all looked different but they were all beautiful. In this world where females are rare, how could there be someone wasteful enough to treat them as common laborers…? Cheng Nuo looked around him and thought that all the males in the hall were thinking of cutting down the two people seated above in the sedan chair.

The four females carrying the sedan chair lowered it then a female came forward to lift the white curtain, revealing the two people inside. One of them was dressed in dazzling red robes and had daintily arched eyebrows, seductive blue eyes, and golden hair that hung almost to the floor. He looked like he was around twenty years old. The other person was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy dressed as a female with long seaweed-like hair covering half of his fair and delicate face. His lovely purple eyes were narrowed slightly. It was Li Yue.

Their movements were quite ambiguous. The blond young man wrapped his arms around Li Yue’s waist and put Li Yue on his lap. Li Yue kept his back straight and his face showed no expression.

Cheng Nuo was shocked and he almost cried out in disbelief. What kind of bad luck was this? Out of the frying pan and into the fire! How did Li Yue get here?

He broke into a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head, praying that Li Yue hadn’t already seen him. If Li Yue caught him again, this time he would be turned into a doll!

It was so quiet in the hall that you could hear a pin drop. Chu Yunxuan glanced at Liu Wu then waved his fan twice, saying with a smile, “Why didn’t you inform me in advance that a distinguished guest was coming to visit us? We didn’t even have time to organize a proper banquet. Won’t people laugh at Lan Yue Camp for not being able to treat their guests well? I’m Chu Yunxuan, the second-in-command of Lan Yue Camp. This is my eldest brother Liu Wu. I’d like to know our guest’s name.”

The blond youth played with Li Yue’s hair with his long, slender fingers and smiled. “It’s not necessary for you to know since we’re not your guests. I heard Lan Yue Camp has gotten a pretty good hail recently and Ah Yue wants to see how beautiful that little bride is. Ah, and I have been a little short on cash these days.”　　

Cheng Nuo was surprised when he heard Li Yue being called by an affectionate-sounding nickname like “Ah Yue.” Knowing Li Yue’s personality, Cheng Nuo wouldn’t have thought that Li Yue would play the female and lie under another person. Cheng Nuo furtively raised his eyes to look and saw that those purple eyes were coldly scanning the people around him. Cheng Nuo’s heart raced and the wine cup that he had been using to cover his face almost fell.

When the blond youth finished speaking, the people in the hall became noisy. Some people banged on the tables and shouted things like, “You little ****er! Big brother, let me go, I’ll kill him!” and “How dare you act like this at Lan Yue Camp?”

Liu Wu, his face thunderous, waved his hand and the crowd settled down though the bandits still looked indignant.

Chu Yuanyuan said with a smile, “Those things were all earned by my brothers risking their lives. If you want to take them away, that would depend on whether or not you have the ability to do it.”

The blond youth laughed but did not answer. He looked up and down at the noble bride beside Liu Wu then smiled and said, “Ah Yue, he’s not much to look at. He’s not even as good-looking as my attendants, let alone you.”

Li Yue said coldly, “Really? I think his eyes are beautiful.”

“You want them?” The blond sighed. “It’s a shame to kill him since he can be regarded as a beauty, too, but if Ah Yue wants them then there’s no other way.”

The youth waves his hand at the attendant next to him. “Bi Luo, bring me those eyes.”

The attendant bowed then vanished as though he had evaporated into thin air. Cheng Nuo was puzzled. No matter how fast a person moves, there should still be some trace of his passing…

Liu Wu and the others were on the alert but in the next moment, the attendant called Bi Luo had already reappeared in the same spot, carrying the little bride who was trembling in fear. Liu Wu looked at the empty spot beside him then stood up and said with a gloomy look on his face, “It’s a teleportation ability.”

To have one of his people snatched right in front of him if he doesn’t retaliate now, how can he hold his head up high in front of the others in the future? The problem was that the enemy was powerful and that was only one of his attendants…Worriedly, he glanced at Chu Yuanxuan who secretly signaled him to stay calm.

Li Yue pushed the blond youth’s arms aside and jumped down. Pinching the frightened little bride’s chin, he looked at the little bride’s face coldly and said, “Now that I look at him more closely, I don’t want them anymore. Those eyes are too mediocre ——Perhaps there’s something better here.”

As Li Yue spoke, his eyes swept over the people in the hall, momentarily pausing in the direction where Cheng Nuo was standing. Cheng Nuo’s heart was in his throat and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

Li Yue’s eyes swept coldly over him then he looked back at the young boy bride and said coldly, “Lian Yi, I like your eyes best but you refuse to give them to me.”

Cheng Nuo was shocked. Was Li Yue really letting him go? The last time Li Yue looked at him like that, it was as though he wanted to chop Cheng Nuo up with his own hands…

Lian Yu’s seductive eyes immediately softened with affection. “I’m honored that you like my eyes. I’m willing to give you whatever you want but I’m afraid that after I give them to you I won’t be able to see your peerless beauty.”

He spoke so lovingly that the rough men in the hall all shivered and were covered in goosebumps. The more Cheng Nuo saw the more he couldn’t understand what was happening. This Lian Yu probably doesn’t know that Li Yue is not a pure female, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so many beautiful attendants…

One of the bandit chiefs jumped down from the dais, dual swords in his hands, and shouted, “What kind of place do you think this is? You dare to act wantonly…”　　

He never finished speaking. His head slowly slid down until it fell on the ground and blood spurted from his neck so high that the females around the dais screamed in shock. The crowd became noisy

Li Yue shook the handle of the energy wire on his hand twice then throw it on the ground. Coldly looking in front of him, he said provocatively, “Dirty.”

Lian Yu also slowly got up and got down, keeping his eyes unblinkingly on Li Yue without blinking. Smiling, he said, “What a ruthless move… but it was beautiful. I like it a lot.”
