Returnee in Jianghu - C7

At this moment, the inn was extremely quiet. The candles on the second floor had all been extinguished without a hint of light, causing the inn to become even darker. Jiang Youyu held her breath as she moved her ears. Then, she tugged at Old Gu and pointed at the glimmering light coming from the inn’s door, preparing to leave this troublesome place.

Old Gu also had a meaningful look in his eyes. He instantly understood Jiang Youyu’s intention. He bent down and slowly turned around, reaching for the door of the inn.

However, what was embarrassing was that when Jiang Youyu, who was following behind Old Gu, touched the door of the inn, a candle suddenly lit up in a corner of the inn.

The candlelight flickered. Although it was not very bright, it was sufficient to let people see the situation within the tavern clearly. The four people at the corner of the inn had already separated, but they were not far from each other. One of them was skinny while the other was short, obviously injured.

On the other side of the inn, the old wet nurse was lying paralyzed in the woman’s arms. There was blood on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with malice as she stared at the four people standing in the corner of the inn. As for the woman, she had a mocking smile on her face as she slowly took out a black box the size of her palm.

The only few tables in the inn were already in pieces. The only one that was still in good condition was the one where Jiang Youyu had eaten earlier, where there were several darts nailed onto the table. The pillar that was closer to the woman was in an even more miserable state. Countless blade marks slashed at it, causing the originally painted pillar to reveal pieces of ugly insides.

“Ol ‘Three, Ol’ Four, take care of those two at the door. Ol ‘Two, come with me.” When the boss saw the black box in the woman’s hand, his face turned serious. It was obvious that he was worried about the black box in the woman’s hand.

Afterwards, Jiang Youyu rubbed his head as he followed Old Gu in turning around to look at the four people standing in a corner of the inn.

“I wonder where you two are planning to go?” Amongst the four of them, there was a young man who was playing with an exquisite dart in his hands. He had a warm smile on his face as he looked at Jiang Youyu and Old Gu.

“This is not because I want to see you all enjoying the fight, and I’m too embarrassed to disturb you all, so I’m going to take my leave first.” With a smile plastered on his face, Jiang You Yu glanced at the youth before focusing his attention on the black box in the woman’s hand.

“There’s no need to disturb me. Since we’re going to kill people, we’ll kill one, and we’ll also kill two.” The youth had a smile on his face, a cruel one. As soon as he finished speaking, although he was injured, it did not affect the young man from shooting his dart at the river fish.

Jiang Youyu narrowed his eyes. A trace of killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. However, this killing intent had calmed down a little with Old Gu’s pull.

“Xiu!” An ear-piercing whistling sound rang out as the black dart that had transformed into a black line resounded in Jiang Youyu’s ears. “Whoosh!” A piercing whistling sound followed in the black dart that had turned into a black line as it resounded in Jiang Youyu’s ears.

The cruel smile on the young man’s face disappeared, and in the next instant, another three flying darts appeared in a circle in front of Jiang Youyu. Jiang You Yu snorted coldly. With his palm at his waist, a streak of extremely fast sword light struck the three darts one after another.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Three darts successively shot into the inn’s ground.

“It seems that I have underestimated you.” The young man gave Jiang Youyu a deep look and exchanged a glance with his companion. Then, he picked up the saber in his hand and slowly approached Jiang Youyu.

As the young man approached Jiang Youyu, the eldest of the four instantly rushed to the side of the young woman. The woman, who was holding the old lady’s hand, let out a loud shout and sent a palm strike towards the eldest who was holding a saber. After forcing the eldest back, she looked at the young woman. Following that, the woman also opened the black box with a resolute expression.

Inside the black box was a small piece of paper. What was written on that piece of paper was unknown even if Jiang Youyu was too far away. The woman looked coldly at the eldest brother who had been pushed back by the old wet nurse again. Then, she took out a fire from her sleeve and pointed it at the slip of paper.

“Second brother, hurry up and make your move.” The boss shouted loudly, and the blade in his hand slashed out a screen of blades. In an instant, he hacked at the old granny for close to a hundred times. That old nanny was also very powerful. She instantly retreated several meters before gathering her strength and striking out with her palm towards the Second Brother who was slashing at the woman.

While his eldest brother and second brother were surrounding and killing the girls, Jiang Youyu was also looking coldly at the two young men approaching him. He really didn’t want to do anything, but he had to. Old Gu couldn’t count on him.

“You’re courting death.” Jiang You Yu coldly snorted as he took a step forward.

When the blade was about to slash down on Jiang Youyu’s face, the tip of the blade was only an inch away from his face.

The killing intent in his eyes almost disappeared. Quickly after, he raised the short sword in his hand. No one could clearly see what sword he used, as the short sword had already entered its sheath.

In the end, the sword and saber were only an inch apart from Jiang’s face.

The young man in front of Jiang You Yu had a look of astonishment on his face as he stared at Jiang You Yu. Soon after, he lowered his head and reached out to touch his neck, and when the young man’s hand touched his neck, a line of blood rapidly expanded on his neck. After a while, blood began to gush out from the gaps of the young man’s fingers.

“Putong!” The young man in front of Jiang Youyu slowly fell to the ground.

The fight in the middle hall of the inn suddenly stopped. Regardless of whether it was the young man’s companions or the girl who had lit the paper, both looked at the young man who had fallen in front of Jiang Youyu.

“You killed Ol ‘Three?” The big boss’s hand, which was holding onto his saber, was trembling. His red eyes were fixed on Jiang Youyu. His words clearly did not believe that Jiang You Yu had actually killed his always-extremely talented third brother.

Jiang Youyu glanced at his eldest brother, who had a small scar on his face. He spread out his hands and said to the old road, “Pay attention to your rhetoric. I should be acting in self-defense, right?” “Right, I defended myself fairly, but I didn’t kill your third brother.”

Old Gu, who was standing behind Jiang Youyu, was rubbing his head. What did this self-defense mean?

Old Gu, who had been following Jiang Youyu for quite some time, was unable to understand the meaning behind this self-defense. The scar-face’s boss was even more unable to understand it. A crazy killing intent appeared on the scar-faced boss, that blade light seemed to have crossed several zhang and appeared in front of Jiang Youyu.

Jiang Youyu shook his head as he inwardly sighed at this scar-faced man’s unreasonable actions. The dagger hanging at his waist was once again grasped in Jiang Youyu’s hand. Following that, the clashing of swords caused that scar-faced man to retreat a few steps.

A trace of clarity appeared in the scarred face’s red eyes. Following that, he let out a loud shout and his aura suddenly expanded. The long blade in his hand was raised once again. With a move, he appeared beside Jiang Youyu and chopped down at him. Even before the saber light had arrived, the vast and mighty saber Qi instantly approached Jiang Youyu.

Jiang You Yu’s expression hardened, and the dagger in his hand stabbed out a dozen times, after which he retreated.

“Boom!”

The ground of the inn instantly shattered, and countless stones flew in all directions. The blade qi scattered in all directions. A trace of unwillingness appeared on the scar-face’s face.

“Not bad. Half a step into the Nascent Profound Realm, but…”

Jiang Youyu raised the sword in his hand. A faint white glow of sword qi floated slightly outside the dagger’s blade. With the appearance of this sword qi, the entire inn was filled with a bone-piercing killing intent. This killing intent was extremely cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.

Jiang You Yu’s figure disappeared, it was a true form of disappearance. When Jiang You Yu appeared again, the scar-faced boss had already coughed out a mouthful of blood, falling onto the cold floor of the inn.

“Boss!” The second brother, who was being held down by the old mama, cried out in alarm when he saw that Scarface had actually died in Jiang Youyu’s hands. Following that, he ignored the palm strength of the old mama and swung his long blade at Jiang Youyu.

Jiang Youyu snorted coldly. That short sword slashed at the second brother from several zhang away. An extremely condensed sword Qi tore apart the second brother’s body and brought him crashing into the inn’s pillar.

“Fourth Bro, let’s go …” The second brother was bleeding from the corner of his mouth as he looked pitifully at the fourth brother who was near the inn’s entrance. He shouted for the fourth brother to hurry up and leave.

The fourth elder brother looked at his three brothers for a while and then looked at Jiang Youyu’s face. It was as if he was trying to carve the image of Jiang Youyu into his mind. Then, he opened the door of the inn behind him and turned around to leave.

Jiang You Yu sighed and took a step forward. In an instant, he approached the door of the inn. The dagger in his hand stabbed towards Fourth Bro who had already opened the door. A streak of blood landed on the door plate.

The stench of blood in the inn was extremely pungent. Jiang Youyu indifferently glanced at the woman who was also looking at him before walking towards the second floor of the inn. Although it was a farce, he still needed to sleep.

Old Gu glanced at Jiang Youyu with some concern in his eyes, before frowning as he glanced at the woman supporting the old wet nurse. He shook his head and quickly followed her toward the second floor of the inn.

“Many thanks for saving me. Please tell me your name. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely tell you.” Jiang Youyu passed by the woman and was about to step onto the stairs that led to the second floor of the inn. The woman found a bench and let the old wet nurse sit down.

Jiang Youyu seemed to hesitate. In the end, she turned around a few times without turning her head back. Her voice was light as she replied, “There’s a fish in the river.” After saying that, Jiang You Yu casually waved his hand and quickly walked toward the second floor of the inn.

Old Gu followed by Jiang Youyu’s side. He looked at Jiang Youyu’s face, which was struggling to endure the pain, before turning his head to look at the woman who had already turned away from Jiang Youyu. He then lightly said, “Stop pretending. That girl has gone to take care of that old woman.”

As soon as Old Gu’s words fell, Jiang You Yu’s chivalrous demeanor was finally removed from his face. He stealthily turned his head to look at the girl that was bandaging the old mama’s wounds under the light of the candle, before quickly turning his head back again, “At least I didn’t lose out. My actions here weren’t in vain.

Jiang You Yu’s face changed into a complacent expression. With his hands behind his back, he walked into his room with a smile on his face.

Old Gu looked at the narcissistic Jiang Youyu. Helplessness could be seen on his face. He really didn’t know what to say.

“Wait.” Old Gu looked at Jiang You Yu who was about to close the door. With one hand, he pulled the door to prevent Jiang You Yu from closing the door.

“What?” Didn’t I get you a room? Old Gu, you wouldn’t be enchanted by this young master’s heroic bearing and would like to sleep with me, right? ” Jiang Youyu looked at Old Gu, as if she had thought of some embarrassing scene. Her face was filled with an expression of evil and cold.

Jiang Youyu watched as Old Gu quickly entered the room, then immediately entered and closed the door. As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Youyu’s face suddenly turned pale as drops of cold sweat gushed out from his forehead.

Jiang You Yu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and immediately closed his eyes, his fingers continuously circulating through the acupuncture points on his body. After an unknown period of time, Jiang You Yu lightly exhaled and fell on the bed.

The next day in the Azure Province, a carriage had already left the inn. Jiang Youyu was still lying in the carriage, and Old Gu was still riding his horse.

The stench of blood in the inn had already dissipated. As for the corpse, it had also been cleared out of the inn. A group of yamen runners glanced at Jiang Youyu who was walking out of the inn. After that, Old Gu fished out a pitch black identity token from his pocket and the group left.

Not long after the carriage left the inn, a room on the second floor of the inn opened up. The two middle-aged men withdrew their gazes from the carriage that had already gone far away. Heaven and Earth were dark yellow in color. Looking at this young man’s sword qi, he was already at the peak of the Mysterious rank. Not bad, not bad. However, after suffering those four Death Soldiers and seeing you, I had restrained myself from attacking. Unexpectedly, I ended up dying in the hands of a member of the younger generation. ”

The middle-aged man standing next to the window crossed his arms in front of his chest as he glanced at the middle-aged man with the fan in his hand who made the evaluation. He had a gentle smile on his face as he asked, “Pavilion Master Yi, can you pay attention to the old man beside this young man?”

The middle-aged man holding the fan and the middle-aged man next to the window looked at each other, before the fan in his hand paused slightly.

“That old man?” The middle-aged man frowned. Under the middle-aged man’s gaze, the frown disappeared. “Could it be that the old man took the final step?”

The middle-aged man who was waving his fan had a hint of surprise in his voice as he looked uncertainly at the middle-aged man in front of the window.

“Just now, when I met eyes with that old man, it made me feel as if I was facing the ancestor. It even made me feel that it was even scarier than the ancestor.” The middle-aged man took a deep breath and looked out the window again, “As for whether that step is the final step or not, until that step, I’m afraid we won’t know.”

The words of the two middle-aged men slowly dispersed in the morning breeze.

At the same time, in another window where the morning breeze blew, the woman stared at the carriage that had long since disappeared, and mumbled something. It was as if among the murmurs, there was a certain name …
