Chapter 36
However, no matter how hard Bai Le tried, he could not get an answer from Rong Yuan, and was finally driven out by Rong Yuan who was annoyed. Frustrated, Bai Le wanted to find Bai Xiang to ask for clarification, but he could not find him after running to several places. The only answer he got from his subordinates was that Bai Xiang was very busy, very busy, and extremely busy. He felt that it was a sin to disturb Bai Xiang, so he had no choice but to wander around the street.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, the fight has started, there's another fight over there!"
"How many times has this happened today?"
"The third time!"
"No, this is the fourth time. Before, there was a guy who fell down after just two moves!"
"I heard that this time the guy is an expert, hurry up, or you won't be able to grab a good spot if you're late!"
Suddenly, people on the street ran past Bai Le, shouting and running towards somewhere in a hurry, looking excited. Bai Le was puzzled and grabbed a guy passing by and asked, "What's going on? Who is fighting?"
"Who else could it be? It's just Snow!" the man replied impatiently, shook off Bai Le and ran away in a hurry.
"Snow? Snow is fighting with others here?" Bai Le became excited when he heard it, and ran in the direction of the crowd. Not long after, he heard cheers and screams, as well as two figures leaping and moving, fighting back and forth on many rooftops and overpasses, which was extremely thrilling and powerful.
Bai Le found a good position to watch the fight, and pulled the people who were there away, squatting there to watch happily. The people he pulled away were naturally unhappy, and just as they were about to yell at him, they saw Germain and several other members of the Howling following behind Bai Le. When they looked at Bai Le's face again, they were startled, shrank their necks, and turned away.
The man fighting Snow was an old man, with gray hair like steel needles piercing the sky, black eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a full face of white beard, and a gray old coat. He looked skinny, but his two exposed arms were full of muscles as solid as iron lumps.
Snow jumped in the air, and swung one leg at the old man like a whip. The old man raised his arm to block it, and then grabbed Snow's leg and threw him five or six meters away. Snow stepped on the wall like a monkey, and went up two floors in two steps. Then he turned around and smashed down at the old man below like a nail drill. The old man crossed his arms to block it, and was knocked back by Snow. With another force, the two suddenly separated. After a slight pause, they pounced on each other at the same time, punching and kicking each other, making a loud "bang" sound.
The onlookers cheered and some even made bets on who would win or lose. Some people cheered or cursed loudly when they saw that the person they bet on was at a disadvantage. Some people didn't care who would win, but just raised their arms and shouted, "Kill him! Kill him!" It was like a group of demons dancing wildly. Some timid people saw this scene from afar and sneaked away along the wall.
Snow was originally so beaten by Rong Yuan that he doubted his life, but since Rong Yuan destroyed the Tyrant Army, he suddenly felt relieved. He felt that as long as he was the strongest among humans, he didn't need to compare himself with some inhuman beings. At the same time, the people around him used to secretly laugh at and despise him for being killed in seconds, but since the destruction of the Tyrant Army, their attitudes have changed 180 degrees. In their eyes, Snow has changed from a "man who can be killed in seconds" to "the only man who can survive after fighting that man." It seems that he has some kind of great honor. When facing him, they even become more awed than before he was defeated.
However, that defeat made Snow realize that there are always people who are better than you, and his arrogant attitude has been restrained. Recently, he has been looking for masters to challenge and hone his skills. Unfortunately, there are basically no masters in this city who have not fought with him. So Snow began to wait in a few mine tunnels leading into the city, and asked the Howling people to find prey for him. Then he found this old man who had just entered the city today and looked very powerful. Snow was excited to see the prey, so he challenged him immediately, and the two fought for more than half an hour without a clear winner.
However, the old man was old after all, and his physical strength was gradually declining. He was kicked away by Snow. He stood up with a somersault and wanted to fight again, but was suddenly stopped by a man who rushed out from the side.
The man carrying a tattered little package blocked the old man, turned around and faced Snow, who was sweating but still vigorous. He suppressed his anger and said humbly, "Sir, we just entered the city today, and I don't think we have offended you before. I don't know why you are looking for trouble with us?"
Snow grinned and said, "If you want to fight, just fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
The man frowned, and the muscles on his forehead trembled. He looked at the old man with a pale face and heavy breathing with concern. He wanted to delay some time, at least to let him recover more, so he discussed with Snow: "But we still need to find someone in this city. Can we make an appointment for the competition after we find someone?"
"Who are you looking for?" Snow stretched his arms and legs and said, "Let's have a good fight. No matter who wins or who loses, I will help you find the person."
The man hesitated for a moment, then said frankly, "The old man is looking for a girl named Mia. We saw the notice she posted outside the city."
"Mia?" Not only Snow, many people shouted in surprise . They had all seen the notice sent by Howl and knew that the girl was now a distinguished guest of Howl.
Bai Le, who was watching the show with great interest, stood up in surprise, stretched his neck to look over, and said, "Is that old man Mia's grandfather? He is really amazing... But he is still far inferior to Snow!"
"Captain, look carefully." Germain said beside him, "He is injured."
Bai Le squinted his eyes and saw a light stain of blood on the old man's clothes on his waist. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "He was injured but he could still fight with Snow like this? How powerful must he have been before?"
As expected, the white-haired old man wiped the sweat from his forehead, pressed his waist with his left hand as if inadvertently, and said, "I am Mia's grandfather, Mi Dong. It seems that you know my granddaughter?"
"I don't know her, but I know her. There aren't many people in the whole city who don't know your granddaughter." Snow didn't notice Mi Dong's injury, and he took a stance and said persistently: "Let's fight, and I'll take you to find her after the fight."
"Um... In addition, I'm also looking for someone." The man raised his hand hesitantly and said, "It's a young man named Rong Yuan. I wonder if you have heard of him... Uh... Did I say anything?"
Before the man finished speaking, everyone looked terrified and avoided him. Even Snow, who seemed to care nothing about anything except fighting, staggered and almost fell. Then he asked him with wide eyes: "Who... who are you looking for?"
Mi Dong looked at them in surprise, not understanding why the man named Rong Yuan made everyone here look like that.
The man's heart suddenly settled down, and he smiled and said, "Rong Yuan, Mr. Rong."
"What is your relationship with him?" Bai Le jumped down from the roof of a building where he was watching the game and asked.
"Old friend." The man replied calmly and indifferently.
He maintained this attitude until he met Rong Yuan.
Jiemai led Midong to see Mia, and Baile brought this man to find Rongyuan, curious about what kind of "old friend" he was. As soon as they met, the man immediately bowed solemnly and thanked him: "Mr. Rong, thank you for saving my two sons. If you need me in the future, Heifeng will never refuse!"
Seeing this, Bai Le knew that he had been fooled by his pretending. He was so angry that his nose was crooked and he shouted angrily: "You are fooling me!"
Heifeng pretended not to hear and still looked at Rongyuan with sincere, honest and grateful eyes.
Rong Yuan ignored Bai Le who was jumping with anger. When he saw Hei Feng and thought of Ye Zi, the boy he admired very much, he even smiled and asked, "How are Ye Zi and Xiao Shitou?"
Seeing Rong Yuan's smile, Hei Feng, who was actually a little nervous, finally felt relieved and said with a relaxed smile: "They are very good. Before I came, Ye Zi asked me to convey his gratitude to you! And there is one more thing." Hei Feng took off the torn package on his back, took out a nearly new waist bag from it and presented it with both hands, saying: "I'm here to return it to you. This thing is really too precious, and it's not something that someone like me can own. It's just... because we were not well prepared beforehand, we took some of the things inside on the way here. I'm sorry."
"It's nothing. I give it to you so that you can use it when you need it." Rong Yuan took the storage bag and had a better impression of Heifeng and others.
Bai Le, who got no response, snorted, "It's just a broken package, what's so great about it? You're talking about it as if it were some rare treasure!"
Rong Yuan weighed the storage bag, then suddenly threw it to Bai Le and said, "This is for you. Take it and play with it."
Heifeng looked at Bai Le in surprise and realized that his previous judgment of him might be wrong.
Bai Le hurriedly took the storage bag, and said with a flat mouth: "What a piece of junk, I don't want it!"
"If you don't want it, you can give it to someone else." Rong Yuan said.
Bai Le realized something from Hei Feng's expression, and subconsciously grabbed the storage bag tightly, shouting: "I'm not giving it to you! If you give it to me, it's mine! Even you can't take it back!"
"Whatever you want." Rong Yuan said nonchalantly, then turned to ask Hei Feng: "Where are the others? Are you the only one who came to the central city?"
"The others..." Hei Feng said with an embarrassed expression, touching his nose awkwardly, "They are all outside the city, staying in a safe place first. I am the only one who came into the city to find you first."
"Oh?" Rong Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him knowingly.
Under this penetrating gaze, Hei Feng immediately forgot the euphemisms he had prepared before, knelt on one knee, and said bluntly: "Mr. Rong, I...we want to follow you, I hope you will allow us!"
Bai Le was stunned. After a while, he muttered in a low voice: "Hey, this is a very smart calculation!" He looked at Rong Yuan to see how he would deal with it.
Rong Yuan was slightly stunned.
He suddenly remembered that many years ago, there was a man who knelt in front of him like this, dragging his wet wings, naked, skinny, bowing his head and saying devoutly: "I don't want anything, I just want to follow you, sir. "
The memories came to an abrupt end.
Rong Yuan shook his head slightly. Seeing this, Hei Feng said anxiously: "Sir, I..."
Rong Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him and said to Bai Le, "Send a few people to go and fetch the people from him. There are women and children here, so be careful." Then he said to Hei Feng, "You stay here now. I will make other arrangements later."
Hei Feng was a little unwilling to not be confirmed as a follower, but he also knew that it would be useless to continue arguing at this time, so he nodded and said, "Yes, sir." When he turned around, he saw Bai Le squinting at him with his eyebrows not eyebrows and eyes not eyes, and smiled coldly: "Haha."
Heifeng started to have a headache.
After the two of them left, Rong Yuan sat alone for a long time without turning a page of the book in his hand. When Qiao Fei changed the tea for the third time, he stood up and said, "You go and have a rest. I'll go out for a while."
This meant that he was not allowed to follow. Qiao Fei nodded and said, "Yes."
Rong Yuan walked alone all the way to the ground of Red Prison Star.
It was late at night and all living things had taken refuge in their nests or underground mines. The sky and the earth were in complete darkness. A freezing cold wind was howling, and the temperature had dropped by more than 100 degrees compared to noon. Even the stones seemed to have been frozen.
A layer of white frost also formed on Rong Yuan's clothes, but his expression did not change at all. He stood in the cold wind for a moment, and the wind suddenly slowed down, as if a huge barrier was blocking him.
Rong Yuan raised his head, soft lights came on, and a huge spaceship gradually appeared.
