Chapter 1012: Chapter 1010: Testing Each Other
Yang Yibin raised his head and saw Wufu staring at him without blinking. He couldnāt help but be stunned for a moment and his face reddened slightly with shyness.
"Young Master, you..."
"The dead cannot be brought back to life, my condolences." Wufu sighed.
Yang Yibinās eyes reddened again upon hearing this. He sniffed and said, "Youāre quite lucky to have so many survivors. In the Jianghu, Iāve never seen someone like you. May I ask who you are, Young Master?"
Wufuās eyes flashed with a hint of sadness as he said, "You think so, but our team originally had nearly twenty people, and now... we donāt even know if theyāre alive or dead!"
"Well, since even you, Young Master, managed to escape the crocodile swarm, your people must be highly skilled and blessed, unlike me... Iād better not say more. May I know your esteemed surname, Young Master?"
"My surname is Wu."
"Young Master Wu," Yang Yibin probed again, "it seems youāve never walked in the Jianghu? You look unfamiliar."
Wufu nodded, pointing to Ah Jiu, "We are not Jianghu People. Iām just following my Ninth Brother to do some business and gain experience. It was by chance we heard Cloud Fort sent out a heroās invitation to capture a traitor, so we came to see the excitement."
Yang Yibin laughed, "It seems Young Master Wu came for the profit as well."
"Of course," Wufu said, "The Cloud Fortress Master promised a 500,000 taels Reward for capturing that Yun Feiyang alive. Getting that traitor could be more profitable than several of our business deals. What do you say, Young Master Yang? Isnāt that why your Green Sword Villa came here too?"
When she kept calling him a traitor, Yang Yibinās mouth twitched, but he declared righteously, "Our Green Sword Villa brings disciples down the mountain for training every year. The Cloud Realm is Cloud Fortās territory, and itās the best training ground, thus we came. But who would have thought..."
He gave a bitter smile, everyone knew what that meant.
"Since you often walk in the Jianghu, do you know Yun Feiyang? What does he look like?" Wufu asked curiously.
"Yun Feiyang is the Cloud Fortress Masterās top disciple. How could someone like me, an unknown, know him? Iāve only seen him from afar," Yang Yibin said.
"I see," Wufu said, suddenly disheartened, "Then never mind, itās been so long, maybe that traitor has already kicked the bucket. Look how many came in here, and your Green Sword Villa is nearly wiped out. We also encountered others, and many have died. If not for my Ninth Brother insisting we canāt return empty-handed and wanting to check the Cloud Tower, I would have left already."
Yang Yibinās face stiffened and he said, "The Cloud Realm is indeed unfathomable, so I have an impertinent request."
"Oh? In that case, youād better not say it, it must be something troublesome," Wufu stood up to cut him off.
Yang Yibin was slightly stunned and hurriedly said, "Itās nothing serious. Itās just that Iām the only one left. Itās fate that we met, can I join you guys?"
Wufu smiled, pointing at him and then at his own group. Who was strong, who was weak, and who would be a burden was obvious, making it clear that he wasnāt to be taken for a fool.
Yang Yibin blushed and said, "Donāt you all not recognize Yun Feiyang? If you encounter him, I can help identify him. I donāt want any share of the Reward, just a safe exit from this damn place."
Wufu considered for a moment and said, "If thereās danger, we wonāt hesitate to leave you behind. Do you still want to come?"
Yang Yibinās face darkened, "Why? Weāre all in this together."
"In this kind of place, saving someone could cost your life in minutes, right?" Wufu laughed mockingly.
"..." What happened to saving a life being more meritorious than building a seven-layer pagoda?
