62: The opportunity that belongs to me, Wang Erchui, has come!
"Regardless of whether you have those intentions or not, hand the person over to me now, or else... you'll regret it!"
With a wave of his hand, a look of impatience appeared on Xu Xi's face. He didn't want to waste any more words with the other party.
As long as Zhu Fengyu handed the person over now, Xu Xi wouldn't care too much and would turn around and leave.
But if Zhu Fengyu couldn't produce the person, then Xu Xi would have to properly 'educate' the other party on how to resolve this matter.
"The person, of course, will be given."
"And they will be given completely intact!"
"Why aren't you hurrying to invite that young master Bai up here?"
"How can you be so lacking in perception?"
Hearing Xu Xi's words, Zhu Fengyu replied in a pleasant tone, then glared, unleashing all his anger on the gang disciple who had just reported to him.
This was a case of big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp.
The gang disciple, that little shrimp, felt a sudden surge of grievance in his heart but couldn't retort.
He timidly retreated inside, turned his head, and ran in another direction.
It wasn't to the place where they held their captives, but to another location, a pleasure house painstakingly managed by Thin Horse Gate, located within a specially designed area deep inside Thin Horse Gate.
With his own little scheme brewing in his mind, this gang disciple, when oppressed to a certain extent, would also erupt.
Moreover, in this disciple's mind, this was an excellent opportunity, perhaps one that could truly allow him to gain power within Thin Horse Gate and wield great influence.
"It's finally my, Wang Erchui's, time to turn over a new leaf and sing!"
"Zhu Fengyu, I will perfectly replicate your path to rise and return it to you with interest!"
"Wahahahahaha!"
His mind fantasizing wildly, Wang Erchui even began to imagine the beautiful scene of easily trampling Zhu Fengyu underfoot, reaching the pinnacle of life, and having many beauties after he gained power.
He thought to himself; clearly, this Thin Horse Gate disciple's background was not simple. He even knew Zhu Fengyu's rags-to-riches story, how he climbed step by step from the bottom to the position of Thin Horse Gate Master.
Along the way, he even passed through the numerous traps set up by Thin Horse Gate and was inspected by several groups of people before Wang Erchui truly arrived at the place he wanted to go.
A wooden high-rise building, opulent and luxurious, completely unlike the kind of architecture that should exist in a desolate place like Tingfeng Valley.
"Mmm mmm ~"
"Ah ah ~"
Inside the high-rise, waves of lewd sounds drifted out, inspiring endless reverie.
If he hadn't been close enough, Wang Erchui wouldn't have been able to hear such sounds because a soundproofing array was set up outside the high-rise.
It was the same array Xu Xi used every time he handled matters.
"A hero's tomb of extravagant indulgence and endless music, truly intoxicating."
"Those sect disciples from Zhongzhou are indeed lost within it..."
Listening to those waves of intoxicating sounds, Wang Erchui felt only envy in his heart, and this further ignited the desire within him.
As long as he performed well, in the future, he, Wang Erchui, might not be unable to enjoy all of this.
"Wang Erchui?"
"Why are you here?"
"Is this a place you're allowed to come to?"
In front of the building, the guards saw Wang Erchui, who had rushed over, panting heavily, and immediately raised their weapons, stopping Wang Erchui's advance.
Their words contained obvious disdain, posing insulting rhetorical questions.
"Heheheh ~"
"Sirs, of course, I don't have the qualifications!"
"However... the Master sent me to invite those gentlemen inside to settle a matter."
"A Personal Disciple from Xuanjian Sect has come to cause trouble. It seems he knows you have arrived in Youzhou."
"This is the token the Master gave me."
Blocked by the guards, Wang Erchui was very displeased deep down, filled with resentment, but he didn't show it in his expression. Instead, he humbly explained.
At the same time, he took out the token Zhu Fengyu had given him and asked the other party to inspect it.
"Bah!"
"Just a few crude gatekeepers, not even as important as me, dare to mock me! Once my plan succeeds, just watch me step over your heads and walk into this high-rise!"
He scorned them fiercely in his heart, Wang Erchui's cold eyes, which had been downcast, became humble again as he looked up, quietly awaiting the guard's reply.
"Hmm, no problem, then hurry up and go."
Taking the token Wang Erchui handed over, after careful inspection, the gatekeeping guard found nothing amiss.
The deep disdain in his heart remained undiminished. He returned the token and then allowed Wang Erchui to enter.
"Remember, don't touch anything inside, and don't look around. This isn't a place someone like you can casually offend."
Just as Wang Erchui's front foot stepped over the threshold of the high-rise, the guard spoke in a sarcastic tone again, warning Wang Erchui to mind his words and actions, as if something extraordinary was happening inside.
"This humble one naturally understands..."
Bowing and cupping his hands in thanks, Wang Erchui no longer hesitated. He immediately took off, clearly no longer wanting to listen to the guards' veiled insults.
Taking several steps, ignoring the various heated scenes on the first floor, Wang Erchui climbed the stairs and arrived on the second floor.
Door after door was tightly shut, as if nobody was inside, but the sounds emanating from within, wave after wave, all indicated that this place was filled with human presence.
Strangely, even though a soundproofing array could clearly be used to block these sounds, no array was used for shield within the high-rise. It was as if it was intentional, to make everyone inside the high-rise hear these sounds.
Passing door after door, Wang Erchui did not stop; instead, he walked faster.
He silently counted the doors he passed, and finally, he stopped in front of one door.
This place was also slightly different from the others; a large 'Heaven' character plaque was eye-catching, and the more exquisite decorations all indicated that the person enjoying themselves inside was of no ordinary status.
Holding his breath, Wang Erchui felt a bit nervous at this moment. Then, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Wang Erchui tremblingly extended his hand and knocked on the door, "Dong dong dong."
"Which bastard is disturbing me at this time?"
"If it's not an emergency, don't blame us for turning hostile!"
As the knocking sound rang out, the sounds inside the room naturally ceased.
In a breath, an enraged voice came out.
At the same time, the door opened, revealing a handsome young man to Wang Erchui's eyes, bare-chested and with his lower body covered by a large white robe.
However, combined with his crude language, it lowered the man's demeanor.
Clearly, 'a beast in human clothing' and 'gold on the outside, dross on the inside' accurately described such a person.
"Gulp ~"
"Sirs, I certainly did not intend to offend or disturb your pleasure."
"It's just that... our Thin Horse Gate has encountered trouble that we cannot handle."
"A Personal Disciple from Xuanjian Sect has come to cause trouble. It seems he knows you have arrived in Youzhou."
Swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, Wang Erchui was also extremely nervous at this moment. If he couldn't give the other party a satisfactory answer,
Then Wang Erchui's plan would be stillborn before it even began.
