Chapter 164 I Like Some Noises
After finishing a bowl of hot noodles with fish meatballs, Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu went straight back to the hotel nearby.
The hotel without any star ranking was more like a motel along the road. It was not shabby, but it was very simple. The two of them got two rooms and lived there secretly and safely.
Jiang Shangyu’s appearance made Li Tianlan feel cautious inside, but he had to admit that he definitely made up his weakness.
That wasn’t the weakness of combat strength, but the weakness in camouflage.
At least it was impossible for Li Tianlan to learn Japanese and speak it as fluently as Jiang Shangyu in the short term.
Now Jiang Shangyu and he pretended to be a pair of brothers of similar age. The older brother was more talkative while the younger brother was mute. This kind of camouflage wasn’t perfect, but it was enough for them because they switched places to hide every two or three days. In the short term, they didn’t need to worry about getting exposed.
The two of them walked in the lobby of the hotel, one following another. The young Japanese lady who was working at the front desk lifted up her head and took a glance at them, then grew red in the face and greeted them in Japanese with her soft, tender, powerless voice.
Li Tianlan took a look at Jiang Shangyu with a poker face, then turned and walked into the elevator without saying a word.
Jiang Shangyu, who was handsome, gentle, and firm, walked towards the front desk with a smile on his face and stood in front of the girl whose legs were almost paralyzed.
Walking past the corner, Li Tianlan turned around casually.
Jiang Shangyu already reached his hand into the girl’s skirt. The girl who was not exactly pretty but looked elegant and quiet had grown red in the face. Her fair eyes were looking around anxiously, but her body arched subconsciously to coordinate Jiang Shangyu’s hands.
The two young men looked at each other.
Li Tianlan felt embarrassed instantly, then walked into the elevator as fast as he could.
Right now he still had a hard time getting used to the colorful lifestyle in the Dark World. In nearly a week, he lived like an ascetic monk, meditation, eating, sleeping and being on the road.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shangyu truly lived a colorful life. In less than three days living in this hotel, three women that were tempting in some ways, including the proprietress, had entered Jiang Shangyu’s room successively. So this was the so-called dreamy nightlife. That girl at the front desk downstairs was screaming for half a night in Jiang Shangyu’s room last night. She got out when the dawn broke. Besides enjoying the night, the two of them also got some secret information.
At least after the proprietress got on Jiang Shangyu’s huge bed, he knew all about the information of some tenants, the daily patrol pattern of the police, some rumors that had been spread around the public and so on. These little details that seemed irrelevant were in fact very important for them to hide themselves.
There were no people in this hotel that would harm their safety.
There was nothing strange in the police’s patrol pattern, either.
In this situation, Jiang Shangyu suggested that they stayed for another day and Li Tianlan agreed. Although he thought it was because Jiang Shangyu still wanted more fun time with the proprietress. But... what the hell! It didn’t matter as long as they didn’t get exposed.
He went back to his room.
He started to meditate.
About an hour later, someone knocked on his door.
Li Tianlan stood up and opened the door. Outside the door stood Jiang Shangyu looking refreshed with a smile on his face. He looked into the room to make a hint.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLi Tianlan let him in, then gently waved his hand. The air in the room suddenly distorted, keeping all the voices inside from getting out.
Jiang Shangyu raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned around and looked at Li Tianlan. He laughed softly and said, “Senior Brother Li, it looks like your injury has gotten better.”
“It wasn’t some kind of deadly injury. My body can take care of it.”
Li Tianlan lit up a cigarette and said in a calm voice.
Of course, his body recovered fast. The whole set of Immortality Potions were working in his body, and the powerful vitality had been supporting his physical fitness. His body recovered in an astonishingly fast rate. To put it in an honest way, his body got better with every minute. In the past few days of staying put, he had finished almost half of the process of healing.
“The Immortal Series of the Wang family of Beihai is really something.”
Jiang Shangyu sighed and said. The Master of Samsara Palace went straight into Mount Dibing for Li Tianlan, and everyone was aware of the reason behind it. That whole set of Immortal Series of the Wang family of Beihai that nobody would use in hundreds of years, appeared only when the Wang family of Beihai was in big trouble. Now Li Tianlan was using the precious supreme treasure of the clan, and this kind of opportunity made everyone jealous.
He looked at Li Tianlan, then shook his head and said in a self-mocking tone, “Looks like I don’t have the chance to kill you?”
Li Tianlan gave Jiang Shangyu a deep look and said nothing.
Among the six groups in Zhongzhou State, the Jiang family was an important part of the Prince Group. But in recent years, they were getting close to the Special Warfare Group. And the current clan leader of the Jiang family, member of the Zhongzhou State Decision Making Committee, the head of Beijiang Province, Jiang Shan, used to be the old subordinate of Gu Xingyun. In the Prince Group, Jiang Shan had always been one of the leaders that were opposed to staying away from the Special Warfare Group.
Nobody knew what would happen to the Jiang family in the future, but at least right now, Jiang Shangyu was indeed the top superior of the young generation of the Prince Group.
A scary figure that only showed his Exquisite Bone and hid his strongest weapon.
Qin Weibai said Jiang Shangyu had the Heavenly King Heart in him.
This was a piece of very secretive information, and only Jiang Shan and Jiang Shangyu knew about this. Li Tianlan didn’t know how Qin Weibai found out about this, but he one hundred percent believed in her.
He had both the Heavenly King Heart and the Exquisite Bone.
This was the perfect aptitude of Heavenly Sons. But over the years, Jiang Shangyu kept playing it safe. Among the ten superiors of the young generation in Zhongzhou State, Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan stood side by side, although Jiang Shangyu was also on the top of the list, he was still below the two. He kept himself so low-key that no one really knew him very well. Ignoring the rest, how many people in his generation could beat his humble mind?
Judging from his shrewdness, Jiang Shangyu was almost the scariest young people Li Tianlan had ever met.
Maybe Li Tianlan wasn’t afraid of being his enemy, but to think more of it, it wasn’t a relaxing thing after all.
“What the hell is Phoenix Pavilion?”
Li Tianlan suddenly asked. This was something he had been wanting to ask in the past few days.
The reason Jiang Shangyu wanted to kill him was Phoenix Pavilion, to be exact, it was because of a woman in this organization.
Li Tianlan knew nothing about this organization that he had never heard of before. Qin Weibai obviously knew something about it, but she also obviously didn’t want to reveal much about it. There was nothing Li Tianlan could do about it. Despite he wasn’t sure if he could get the answer from Jiang Shangyu, he asked again anyway.
“Senior brother will find it out when the time comes.”
Jiang Shangyu narrowed his eyes, and the cold killing intent flashed away in his eyes.
“What? Wanna fight?”
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows a little and let out a cold laugh.
“I know, the chance is gone now.”
Jiang Shangyu’s facial expression returned to normal. “Maybe a few days ago, I could try to fight you when you were at your weakest, but I was intimidated by you at that time. In these days, you are regaining your strength every day. Maybe now I’m already no match for you.”
Li Tianlan stayed silent.
Jiang Shangyu had the Heavenly King Heart that could enable him to enter the Invincible Realm, and he also had the Exquisite Bone. These all sounded terrifying, but he had an obvious lethal weakness.
Li Tianlan came from the Li family.
Wang Shengxiao came from the Wang family of Beihai.
Gu Hanshan came from Kunlun City.
All of these three places separately had a core unique technique that helped them stood in the Dark World steadily for hundreds of years.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Wang family of Beihai had the strongest explosive force in the whole Dark World.
The Ten Skills of True Martial Arts of Kunlun City represented the strongest domain in the Invincible Realm.
The 24 Moves of Sword of the Li family had the strongest sword intent that could tear everything apart.
What about the Jiang family?
Now the Jiang family was also powerful. But compared to the three big families that had been running for hundreds of years, the Jiang family had no cultural background. Especially in Martial Arts, there hadn’t been a superior of the Invincible Realm coming from their family.
For the Jiang family, Jiang Shangyu wasn’t the inheritor. He was the beginning of something big.
If he could grow up, after dozens of years when he entered the Invincible Realm, he would create a unique technique that could shock the whole world. After many many years, maybe the Jiang family could have the chance to be a superpower like the Wang family of Beihai. But right now, Jiang Shangyu from the Jiang family still had a nearly lethal weakness in unique techniques.
Jiang Shangyu seemed to realize this, so he was very slow in improving Martial Arts, and he still hadn’t reached the peak of the Fire-flaming Realm. But his slow pace also indicated his chillingly stable foundation.
Jiang Shangyu had been hiding himself so patiently. Did he want to create an undertaking that would last for centuries like the ancestor of the Wang family of Beihai?
Li Tianlan sighed slightly in his heart.
One tried to create.
One tried to rebuild.
From this point of view, the two of them shouldn’t become enemies.
If Jiang Shangyu didn’t die this time, the news that he had the Heavenly King Heart would get exposed, then Jiang Shangyu himself would get in a lot of troubles.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLi Tianlan thought of this subconsciously, then slightly shook his head.
Qin Weibai knew about this but chose to keep it a secret, so she obviously had her reason. Before she could figure out the general trend of Zhongzhou State, keeping this secret that Jiang Shangyu thought nobody knew was a lot more useful.
“I’m curious.”
Watching Li Tianlan zoned out, Jiang Shangyu laughed softly and said, “I wonder if you recover completely, can you beat Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan?”
Li Tianlan raised his eyelids and glanced at him without saying anything. But he subconsciously made a comparison in his head.
Right now his level was actually in the Ice-condensing Realm. The constant killing and escapes recently had made his mind very tense. After meditating for a few days, he was sure he could get into the stabilization phase of the Ice-condensing Realm, plus the potion, he could keep his combat strength in the stabilization phase of the Fire-flaming Realm.
If he were to fight Wang Shengxiao who had entered the Thunder-shocking Realm with the current power and strength, there would be different results in different states.
If it was a normal fight, he couldn’t possibly beat Wang Shengxiao.
But if it was a desperate fight, there also would be two results, either they could do nothing to each other, or they killed each other.
As for fighting Gu Hanshan who had the Heavenly King Heart...
Li Tianlan shook his head subconsciously. Although Gu Hanshan didn’t enter the Thunder-shocking Realm, for him right now, he was still a tough one to beat.
And Jiang Shangyu...
Li Tianlan laughed in a self-mocking way. Jiang Shangyu was also tough to beat.
Perhaps when he actually entered the Fire-flaming Realm, it would be a different outcome when fighting these people?
“Is senior brother unable to beat them?”
Jiang Shangyu stared at Li Tianlan’s expression and asked in a calm tone.
“Maybe?”
Li Tianlan gave him a casual answer, then he looked at Jiang Shangyu and asked suddenly, “I dare you to play a game with me?”
“Hehe...”
Jiang Shangyu’s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his face, “What kind of game?”
“Don’t you think it’s too quiet here in Changdao?”
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and put on a complicated smile. “I’ve been very quiet since I was a kid, so now I like some noises.”
Jiang Shangyu suddenly thought about that dazzling red scarf they saw not long ago.
He looked at Li Tianlan, and the burning but freezing killing intent flashed through his eyes.
“Then as you wish.”
Jiang Shangyu said, “What a coincidence, I like some noises, too.”
