503: Chapter 503: There is a Conspiracy in This Matter 503: Chapter 503: There is a Conspiracy in This Matter “Xiao Yu, it’s you again!” Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Sun Wukong’s teeth ached with hatred as Xiao Yu always spoiled his perfect plans.
Xiao Yu, with a calm face, first nodded with a smile at Tangyu, then turned around to face the infuriated Sun Wukong, “Yes, it’s me.
Better to resolve enmities rather than deepen them, you should know this simple principle, right?
I won’t question the rights and wrongs of the matter right now, but isn’t it wrong for you to bully the few with your crowd?
If you had competed with Tangyu using your own strength, even if he were left disabled, I wouldn’t have uttered a word.
But bullying the few with the many, I must step forward.”
“Humph, bullying the few with the many?” Xiao Yu, I think you’re being too oppressive.
This world has never been about fairness; it has always been about who has the stronger fist.
What about bullying with numbers?
Every time you act, are you alone?
That’s a joke.
Xiao Yu, don’t say I want to be your enemy; I don’t want to bear any grudges, but concerning today’s matter, stay out of it.
They, I must retain today, and my dignity won’t allow them to trample upon it,” Sun Wukong sneered.
Xiao Yu said, “I don’t care about fairness elsewhere, but since I’m standing here, I need fairness, that’s my principle.
You just lost to Tangyu, this matter should have stopped there.
Now, resorting to outnumbering him, that’s unreasonable.
Tangyu is my friend, and since I’m here, I naturally won’t watch my friend being bullied.
No matter what today, I have only one thing to say, I’m taking everyone with me.”
“Haha.” Sun Wukong laughed in extreme anger, “Xiao Yu, I’m showing you respect, don’t disregard it.
This isn’t your territory, this is my territory.
I, Sun Wukong, did not provoke you before, not because I was scared of you.
I already gave them a choice of paths, for your sake, I could let them choose once more.
If they don’t choose the path I offered, then I will have to use my methods to reclaim my dignity.
Xiao Yu, I don’t want to repeat myself three times.”
“Likewise, I won’t say it twice,” Xiao Yu said, still with a face of composure, completely ignoring Sun Wukong’s harsh words.
The arrival of Xiao Yu made Tangyu all the more grateful.
Clearly, Xiao Yu did not just happen to pass by; he must have received news and rushed over, and just this thought alone was enough to fill Tangyu with gratitude.
Although Tangyu might not necessarily need Xiao Yu’s help, if Xiao Yu’s intervention could resolve the matter peacefully, Tangyu wouldn’t mind owing him a favor.
Of course, if it really came to blows, Tangyu didn’t have much chance of winning and getting hurt was inevitable.
Ordinary favors Tangyu wouldn’t want to owe, but Xiao Yu was indeed worth making a deep connection with as a friend.
“Xiao Yu, don’t bother with this matter anymore, I want to see if he can disable me today,” Tangyu said.
When Sun Wukong appeared earlier, Tangyu had immediately used the Mind Stone to send a message to Deng Li, and he believed Deng Li was also on his way with people.
Once Deng Li and his group arrived, they naturally would have the upper hand.
If Sun Wukong was truly ruthless, Tangyu didn’t mind revealing some of his cards.
Xiao Yu looked at Tangyu and said, “If you consider me a friend, then don’t talk like that.
I will handle it here, and if I can’t handle this, then I shouldn’t be one of the Five Young Masters of Donglin.”
“Alright, I won’t say thanks much,” Tangyu said, no longer refusing.
Chang Baosheng and Wei Yaoye also looked at each other with surprise.
They were well aware of the reputation of Xiao Yu, one of the Five Young Masters of Donglin, renowned far and wide.
They were extremely surprised to see Xiao Yu stepping forward for Tangyu to confront the ferocious Sun Wukong, which sufficiently illustrated the depth of their relationship.
To be so closely connected with Xiao Yu proved that Tangyu had the strength worth Xiao Yu making the connection.
Sun Wukong glared fiercely at Xiao Yu, his face full of murderous intent, released without any disguise, intimidating to those who saw it.
“Sun Wukong, if you still want to outnumber us, then let’s not talk anymore, let’s fight.
Although we are fewer, it doesn’t mean we can’t hold off your elite troops.
If you want to fight, I’ll immediately call my people over.
If you are confident you can take us all down before my people arrive, then start your move.
It’s been a long while since I last took action, and my hands are a bit rusty, perhaps today you can give me a chance,” Xiao Yu said, his gaze remaining calm yet filled with an unmistakable sharpness of refusal.
With those words spoken, it was obvious Sun Wukong was inclined to fight, and today’s scene was not likely to end easily.
If it truly came to blows, Sun Wukong knew he was not currently a match for Xiao Yu.
Additionally, Tangyu was no pushover either, and together, they were certainly superior.
Sun Wuming was not going to intervene in this matter, so Sun Wukong felt somewhat isolated and unsupported.
Most importantly, Sun Wukong did not want to sever ties with Xiao Yu.
Naturally, another significant reason was that today’s matter didn’t provide him with much justification, so he couldn’t elevate it further.
Weighing all these, Sun Wukong could only grit his teeth and point at Tangyu, “I’ll remember today’s lesson.
Next time, don’t fall into my hands, or you won’t be as lucky as today.”
“If you don’t provoke me like today, this wouldn’t happen.
If you have any issues, I’m always ready,” Tangyu didn’t back down either.
“Let’s go,” Xiao Yu said.
Everyone left in a mighty torrent, exiting Golden Scale Pond, Chang Baosheng finally heaved a long sigh of relief, “That was damn close.
Thought we were going to be planted here today.
Yaoye, it was all your great idea to come here, almost got us all seriously involved.”
Wei Yaoye said, “Chang, isn’t this your idea of a place?
I’m totally unfamiliar with Donglin City.
But damn, the waters of Donglin City are really deep.
Back in Linwu County, we were dragons that no one dared to mess with.
But here in Donglin City, we’ve become little snakes, almost got trampled to death.
It’s really bad luck.
I swear, I won’t come to Donglin City anymore; it’s better to roam freely in Linwu County.” After that, Wei Yaoye also turned to Tangyu and said, “Young Master Tang, I’ve caused you trouble this time.”
Tangyu shook his head with a smile and patted Wei Yaoye on the shoulder, “You did nothing wrong this time.
Since you did nothing wrong, it’s not trouble, but upholding the dignity we deserve.
You guys are my friends, and naturally, I wouldn’t stand idly by if you need help.
But you’re right, the waters of Donglin City are too deep, and you really can only keep your heads down here.
Better go back and be your own kings there.”
Wei Yaoye also smiled.
Chang Baosheng looked at Xiao Yu and said, “Young Master Xiao, thank you for stepping in to help.”
Xiao Yu glanced at Chang Baosheng and then looked away, not saying anything.
Chang Baosheng pursed his lips, embarrassingly withdrawing his head.
Xiao Yu ignoring him didn’t make him feel the least bit slighted.
If Xiao Yu had bothered with him, that would have been a real honor.
“Tangyu, I’m leaving first; you don’t need to say thanks,” said Xiao Yu.
Tangyu nodded, “Alright, then I won’t say it, goodbye.”
After Xiao Yu left, Chang Baosheng came over and said, “Bro, you’re awesome.
Even Xiao Yu was willing to come over and help you out.
If it weren’t for Young Master Xiao stepping in, we might have really been in a tough spot today.
That Sun Wukong really lives up to his name of ‘Wild Young Master’, probably only the Five Young Masters of Donglin can keep him in check.”
“Alright, it’s all over now; let’s get in the car and leave this place,” Tangyu said.
Everyone got into the cars; Tangyu, Chang Baosheng, and Deng Li got into Wei Yaoye’s car, with Wei driving personally.
Tangyu rubbed his temples, deep in thought, which made Chang Baosheng curiously ask, “Bro, what are you thinking about?
Maybe missing your lady, huh?
Heh heh, calling you out in the middle of the night, didn’t pull you out of bed, did they?”
“Heh, could be,” Deng Li also laughed.
Tangyu gave them both a look and said, “I’m thinking about this incident; something seems off.
I always feel like there might be some conspiracy.”
“Conspiracy?
This incident has a conspiracy?” Chang Baosheng was startled, and Wei Yaoye also looked over, “Young Master Tang, what do you mean?
But, I also feel something’s not quite right, always felt something was off.
Now that you mention it, I do feel like we’ve been played.”
“What?
I didn’t catch that feeling at all; what do you mean?” asked Chang Baosheng.
“Wei Yaoye, share your thoughts,” Tangyu said.
“From the moment we entered and that madam in charge greeted us, something felt off.
Considering our attire and the way we carry ourselves, anyone with a bit of insight should recognize we’re not your average joes, right?
She’s an experienced madam in this kind of place, should have seen all walks of life, so her eye for people should be sharp.
There’s no way she would think we couldn’t afford to be there, and even if she did think so, a madam wouldn’t insult customers, right?
Golden Scale Pond is a big establishment; even madams in smaller places wouldn’t make such a basic mistake.
If every madam at Golden Scale Pond behaved like this, I don’t see how it could stay open.
I also run entertainment venues, so I know this stuff well.
Moreover, that madam seemed to be deliberately provoking me, insisting on insulting me even though it was clear I was getting angry, daring to continue, obviously trying to fan the flames of my anger.
Actually, I’ve felt something was wrong the entire time, but I was too blinded by anger to think about it.
Now that I’ve calmed down and you’ve brought it up, Young Master Tang, it seems even more suspicious,” Wei Yaoye explained.
Tangyu nodded, “You’re right, although I’m not familiar with the ins and outs here, I do have basic common sense.
There are no insignificant customers; the customer is always ‘God’.
This is the standard in any service industry and a strict requirement for staff.
Golden Scale Pond, being a major entertainment venue, should hold even stricter standards.
Not to mention you guys, even if a real nobody went in, the madam shouldn’t have spoken like that.
So there must be something bigger going on; I suspect someone behind the scenes is using the hands of Sun Wuming and Sun Wukong to target me.”
Everyone nodded, deeply agreeing.
“That move was really sinister and despicable.
Bro, who is trying to screw you over?” asked Chang Baosheng in indignation.
“Hard to say exactly; I’ve offended quite a few people in Donglin City.
Let’s leave those worries aside for now; the main thing is that you guys are okay.
As for who it is, I don’t really want to know either,” Tangyu said.
