Chapter 1021: Robbery!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ling Chuxi looked at these people. Although they were fierce, they were only wearing cheap, coarse clothing. Obviously, they didn’t have a lot of money.
“Listen up, we are from the Chaotic Blade Gang of Qianzhong Ridge. If you have anything valuable, hand it over and get out of here,” said the leader of the group fiercely. He was a skinny young man and was quite handsome, but he had a pair of cross-eyed eyes. When he was fierce, his eyes started to focus in the middle. By then, he looked more hilarious than fierce.
“Chaotic Blade Gang? I don’t think I’m familiar with you. Why should I hand things over to you?” Ling Chuxi was in a good mood. The more she looked at his cross-eyed eyes, the more she wanted to laugh and tease him.
“Why?!” He looked at Ling Chuxi in surprise with widened eyes.. But such a look only made his cross-eye worse.
“Robbery. Have you heard of it? We’re robbing you!” Mr. Cross-Eyed had never met such a simpleton and thus decided to explain.
“Robbery?” Lan Xinyu, Su Xiu’er, and the others looked at each other.
Mr Cock-Eye’s arrival was really timely. They hadn’t found anyone to spar and having to hold things in had been quite a torture. To have only just arrived at Qianzhong Ridge and encounter this group of robbers was akin to have their goods delivered right to their doorstep! Lan Xinyu rubbed her hands together. She was so excited that her face started to blush. All she needed was for Ling Chuxi to say the words.
“So it’s a robbery. You should have said so earlier. Why don’t you just put in on a banner or come up with a more apt slogan? I thought you were here to visit your relatives.” said Ling Chuxi with a smile. She was not in a hurry to make a move.
“Slogan? What slogan?” The teased Mr Cross-Eyed looked at Ling Chuxi in anger.
“How about this: I oversee this mountain and planted these trees. If you want to pass, you’ll have to pay the toll fare. Robbery is also a skill. Look, if you don’t give yourself a reason to rob people, then you won’t have the right confidence. And if you don’t have that confidence, you won’t be able to intimidate your victims. And if your victims aren’t intimidated, then they won’t let you rob them, would they?” Ling Chuxi advised. Aren’t these bandits too unprofessional?
“Right, that makes sense. I oversee this mountain and planted these trees. If you want to pass, you’ll have to pay the toll fare. How about that? Don’t we seem more intimidating now?” Mr Cross-Eyed simply repeated Ling Chuxi’s words.
Ling Chuxi could finally see that apart from not being professional enough, Mr Cross-Eyed didn’t seem to have much intelligence either.
“Not bad. Also, with just so few of you, isn’t it a little weak to call this a robbery?” said Ling Chuxi.
“Who said it’s just us? Brothers, come out.” Mr Cross-Eyed whistled, and from afar came the sound of anxious footsteps. 20 to 30 people came running over with torches in their hands. However, all of them were in ragged clothes and looked like they were not doing well.
“See? We have a lot of people. Hand over all your valuables and I’ll let you live,” said Mr Cross-Eyed proudly.
Lan Xinyu became even more excited. The more the merrier, or she wouldn’t feel satisfied otherwise.
“But, do we look like we have valuables?” said Ling Chuxi awkwardly.
The Su family used to live in seclusion in Rejuvenation Valley. Although they were as rich as a country, their lives were very simple. Even after arriving in the Sacred Realm of the Sects, they still wore simple clothes, thus not looking very much like rich people. And Ling Chuxi was similar too. She didn’t wear her money, at least not too obviously. Her clothes may look quite simple but they were made of good quality. But how could these bandits tell anyway?
