"Wind and Rain Hall emerged three years ago, a group of Wulin scoundrels banding together, usually engaging in murder and robbery." Fa Qingyang seemed to know about this organization. "Because theyâre quite self-aware, theyâve never dared to provoke the big sects, and the smaller ones they do provoke canât beat them, either getting annexed or swallowing their pride, so theyâve actually developed over the past two years." He paused. "Those âBadong Twin Tigersâ werenât good people to begin with, regularly stealing and womanizing, truly committing all kinds of evil."
"Such an organization shouldnât exist," Yu Qingge mumbled.
"Anyone can say that." Fa Qingyang glanced at Yu Qingge. "But if it hasnât troubled them personally, not many people are that chivalrous." He paused, "After all, the principle of âbetter to offend a gentleman than a scoundrelâ applies in any field."
Yu Qingge sighed, "If I were strong enough, Iâd go wipe out that organization."
"Heh, youâre oversimplifying things." Fa Qingyang chuckled, "Do you really think theyâd just roll over? Two fists are no match for four hands."
"What about the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch? Canât they unite and eliminate them?"
"The Wulin is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Wind and Rain Hall hasnât stirred public outrage yet. Even the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch doesnât have the authority to eliminate a sect just like that; it would cause turmoil in the Wulin. After all, the Wulin doesnât only have righteous factions, it also needs the so-called evil ones..."
Yu Qingge pouted, still a bit disdainful.
However, Yang Ruxin understood. If they encountered crime in progress, someone might step in, but otherwise, who would willingly provoke a sect? That requires immense chivalry!
And, with evil cults, you get to compare them to righteous sects. If everything were righteous, thatâd be too boring!
"Just a bunch of rabble." Dao Xuzi waved his hand, "Next time we encounter them, weâll carry out justice."
The old manâs remark decided Wind and Rain Hallâs fate. Of course, if they never encounter them in this life, then perhaps nothing will happen.
The first dayâs episode didnât affect everyoneâs mood. On the second day, the old timers continued to play cards.
Yang Ruxin arranged for Fa Qingyang to accompany them in card games, while she and Yu Qingge planned to go shopping.
Though everyone was well aware that Fa Qingyang had a motive, no one minded. Otherwise, with Dao Xuziâs prickly temper, he wouldnât have let him accompany them in cards.
Fa Qingyang became even more determined to become Yang Ruxinâs little follower.
Gu Qingheng and Song San were supposed to accompany Yang Ruxin and the rest shopping, but as soon as they stepped out of the inn, they ran into the Wan Family brothers.
"Brother Gu, Madam Gu." Upon seeing Gu Qingheng, Wan Quan eagerly jumped off his horse and hurried over, "It really is you! We were just talking about you, and here you are... Song San? Youâre here too."
"We ran into each other on the road as well," Song San chuckled.
Wan Yi also rushed over, "Gu Qingheng, my seventh brother and I were planning to visit you in Lianhua Town after the Martial Arts Conference... Seventh brother, why donât we stay at this inn too?" Though he seemed to be asking, he had already sent someone into the inn to inquire about rooms.
Gu Qingheng was quite pleased. Back then, because of that Sun Saintess, they were like brothers in arms. Meeting again naturally felt very warm.
