Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Xuanmen, What is it?
In reality, Zhuang Huanling and his companion had been keeping a close eye on the waterfall from the outside. This morning, activity was detected near the falls and almost a hundred people suddenly emerged, taking the duo by surprise.
From there, they trailed the group and watched their preparations to operate against the ancient tribe’s auction house. As to why there was a huge crowd of experts cheerfully leaving the auction house before, they instantly guessed that it must be the guy who was impersonating Jiang Xiaobai who exposed them.
Staking out the ancient tribe’s auction house, they could see every twist and turn, including the appearance of the true Jiang Xiaobai.
Honestly speaking, when that shady figure appeared, both were filled with disgust because the man was too damn lewd.
Even from a distance, they could feel an overpowering sleaziness that was hard to stomach.
This particular thing made Zhuang Huanling pay special attention to that man because, in his opinion, this could only be done by Jiang Xiaobai himself. Only Jiang Xiaobai would act this way.
Clearly, he’s a handsome guy, even more attractive than Ao Cheng, and yet, he has to present himself in such a distasteful manner.
As expected, keeping a close watch on this lewd figure, Zhuang Huanling instantly knew she found the right person the moment he mysteriously disappeared!
This was Jiang Xiaobai’s unique technique, something Zhuang Huanling had encountered many times directly hence she was well-familiar with.
“Did you find him?” Ao Cheng was stunned. “Could it really be that sleaze ball?”
“Yep, that sleaze ball. Alright, let’s quietly tail those guys causing a scene. Jiang Xiaobai must be planning the same thing. We’ll meet up with him sooner or later.”
After Zhuang Huanling spoke, she and Ao Cheng disappeared into the shadows and leisurely followed Mo Yu and his group.
Unbeknownst to Mo Yu and his company, every move they made was being closely watched by two parties.
Therefore, when they emerged from their hiding place, they had no clue about what was happening outside. They even put on a scared act to blend in with the terrified crowd while fleeing, successfully avoiding the attention of the ancient tribe’s auction house.
After a certain distance, excitement overtook Mo Yu and his group as they burst into triumphant laughter.
“Hahaha, Brother Mo Yu, the loot we’ve nabbed from the ancient tribe’s auction house this time is worth at least a hundred million top-grade spirit stones. They’re gonna hit the roof!”
“A month of planning really paid off. Perseverance is rewarding indeed.”
“We should leave as soon as possible. The ancient tribe will go crazy trying to capture us. Remember to clean up all traces around the cave before leaving, we can’t let them discover anything.”
Everyone agreed, grinning excitedly.
A month of planning in exchange for a hundred million top-grade spirit stones was a fantastic deal!
Under their noses, Jiang Xiaobai was shaking his head in resignation.
“After a month of grueling planning, this is all we’ve got?”
“This is worth celebrating? To me, this is a bloody loss!”
“Moreover, the pills around you are actually the most expensive things here. But you all ignored them and took those large items. You seriously lack experience.”
Jiang Xiaobai sighed to himself.
What could he do?
If it were up to him, he would scam the ancient tribe out of a hundred million top-grade spirit stones as a starting point. Especially after what happened at the last auction, he pulled the ancient tribe down by several billion spirit stones.
If these people knew his achievements, they would probably jump in surprise and swear that it was absolutely impossible!
Especially with these people’s methods. If Jiang Xiaobai had such an opportunity, he would certainly choose the pills.
He would switch out the original pills, giving the ancient tribe a hard time tracking him down. But by the time they discovered something was amiss, Jiang Xiaobai would be long gone, leaving no chance for them to catch him.
With these guys’ antics, once the ancient tribe’s auction house’s staff came to their senses, they would certainly find something suspicious. Moreover, their technique of cleaning up after themselves was far from thorough, making it easy for the ancient tribe to discover and pursue them.
But it doesn’t matter, based on the current state, there’s a chance these people would be able to escape West Wind City.
Secretly following Mo Yu and his group, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but contemplate. He had decided to become friends with these people and unite against the ancient tribe, but their skills were subpar, which was quite worrisome.
Taking them along for the ride, Jiang Xiaobai doubted whether he would survive the whole operation.
But immediately after, something even more embarrassing happened.
Stealthily, a group of people arrived at a hidden spot under the city walls of West Wind City. Suddenly, a figure emerged and as he lifted his dark cloak to reveal his face, Jiang Xiaobai was utterly stunned!
This was… him!
“Seriously…the last time I felt this awkward was…well, last time.”
Jiang Xiaobai inwardly cursed, but this revelation piqued his interest in Mo Yu and his company.
They had the audacity to impersonate him to mislead the ancient tribe, draw their heavy hitters out, and then execute their plans both from inside and outside. Their tactics were not bad, albeit, inexperienced in some aspects!
“Boss, rest assured, this time everything will go smoothly. My trick is perfect, they are probably frantically chasing that dog around right now.”
“But, they will figure it out soon enough, so we better hurry and leave.”
Mo Yu nodded with a smile, patted the young man on his head and said, “Prepare as planned.”
Subsequently, the group found a small hole and crawled out.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth. Even though this trick seemed a bit crude, it was effective, wasn’t it?
Integral to their escape was leaving West Wind City and diving into the deep woods before finally reuniting in front of the waterfall.
This time, over a hundred people gathered together, cheering boisterously.
Mo Yu even took out all the treasures, inviting everyone to join in the celebration.
“Impressive! Brother Mo Yu, you truly are a gem amongst men, scoring loot from the mouth of the ancient tribe’s auction house. You certainly are the most promising youngster within our guild.”
“Haha, Brother Mo Yu, if the guild master hears about your deeds, he will inevitably foster your growth. You might even end up being the guild’s master.”
“Isn’t it obvious? Who else in the guild can achieve something like Brother Mo Yu? He’s destined to be guild’s master!”
As everyone cheered in surprise, Mo Yu scratched his head shyly amidst their praise.
He didn’t aspire to become the master of the guild, he just wanted to rescue his sister.
“It’s not as grand as you all make it sound. Let’s all rest for now and get ourselves ready. We’ll be departing soon.”
After Mo Yu gave the order, everyone nodded in agreement and started preparations for departure.
At that moment, a voice rang out from a corner.
“You rag-tag bunch actually strength in numbers?”
“This…guild, what’s that?”
