Chapter 40: Chapter 40 - Brother Yang

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Jingxing didn’t expect to meet Wan Rong’s subordinate in Green Cloud Mountain.

He had specially investigated Glory Security. The original Su Jingxing did not know the relationship between Wan Rong and Glory Security.

This security company founded by Wan Rong had quite a good reputation locally.

However, before he broke through to the sixth-grade, he only took on small jobs, mainly for ordinary people.

Now that Wan Rong had advanced to the sixth-grade, the business of Glory Security had expanded. Even Xuantian University was willing to hire them.

In terms of strength, Xuantian University’s Institute of Martial Arts ranked amongst the top five in Qinghe City.

Putting aside the fact that its dean was a fourth-grade expert, all of their teachers were above the seventh-grade.

Together with the large number of guards, Xuantian University was extremely strong.

It was only because many of the university’s guards had been seconded recently that Glory Security had a chance to get the job.

In order to show that their clients were important, the assistant manager of Glory Security personally took over the role of the team leader.

This assistant manager called Fan Chungang was one of Wan Rong’s trusted aides.

Su Jingxing glanced at him from afar and suppressed the agitation in his heart.

“Brother Yang, you’re afraid of entering the mountain alone, aren’t you scared that…”

Swish!

A strong gust of wind suddenly swept across the top of the girl’s head and swept towards a tree not far behind her. With a dull thud, the tree swayed slightly.

The sudden noise attracted the attention of others around them.

Soon, everyone’s gaze landed on a boy who was doing his business under the tree.

The latter presently was rooted to the spot, his body trembling uncontrollably.

This was because above his head, a slender black snake was twisting frantically, and the snake had been pinned to the trunk of the tree with a dagger through its head.

“Wang Hanpeng! What are you waiting for? Get over here!”

“D*mn it, Old Wang was almost bitten!”

“That fellow, we’ve told him way earlier not to run around, but he refused to listen. Great, he almost lost his life!”

“Speaking of which, who threw that dagger? That was way too accurate.”

“Team Leader Xu, was it your team?”

“…”

After a brief moment of shock passed, the people who had regained their clarity shouted loudly.

The boy named Wang Hanpeng was still trembling under the tree. He cried out, “My… my legs are numb. I can’t move!”

“Haha, no one told you to wander around!”

“Are you afraid now?”

Two boys quickly dashed over while laughing and chiding him.

“Gosh, you’re spilling your piss all over your pants.”

“Shut up!”

The two teased as they helped Wang Hanpeng away from the tree.

Over here.

Next to Su Jingxing, the girl who had spoken earlier had her mouth wide open. She stared at Su Jingxing in shock.

“B-brother Yang, you… you threw the dagger?”

“That’s called a throwing dagger.” A muscular middle-aged man walked over quickly and thanked Su Jingxing. “Thank you for saving us, Brother Yang. Your throwing dagger skill is amazing!”

“You’re welcome, Team Leader Xu. I just happened to see it.” Su Jingxing smiled.

The middle-aged man was Xu Nianxiang, the team leader of the guards.

Su Jingxing was addressed as Brother Yang because he had disguised himself and was wearing a human-skin mask. He had used a fake name when he introduced himself earlier.

Yang?Jian1!

Even his appearance was the best version of Erlang, which was Uncle?Jiao’s1?face when he was young.

At his peak, Uncle Jiao was extremely good-looking.

This was also the reason why Su Jingxing was able to quickly strike up a conversation with the girls.

People with good looks were popular everywhere.

…

“It’s fortunate that you saw it. Otherwise, I’d be in trouble this time.”

Xu Nianxiang smiled wryly at Su Jingxing’s humility.

“That’s right. If it wasn’t for Brother Yang, I wouldn’t be able to explain myself.”

The aged professor, Lin Xiurun, was holding a bundle of herbs in his hand. He walked over on big strides and thanked him excitedly. “That’s a poisonous snake. If bitten, Little Wang would be dead in at most two minutes. I thank you on behalf of Little Wang’s parents and Xuantian University.”

Then, he bowed to Su Jingxing.

“Professor Lin, you don’t have to do this. Since I saw it, I naturally won’t let the tragedy happen.” Su Jingxing quickly stepped forward and helped Lin Xiurun up.

As a bottom-feeder, Su Jingxing respected the true intellectuals.

This had nothing to do with his current strength.

“No, I must thank you. It’s necessary.”

Lin Xiurun insisted, “Can I trouble you to leave me your contact number? When we return to the city, I’ll get Little Wang’s parents to thank you properly.”

“That’s right,” Xu Nianxiang added. “Don’t decline, Brother Yang. Little Wang’s parents are not only rich, they’re also from a martial arts family. You’ll definitely have use for the contact.”

As soon as he said that, he waved at Wang Hanpeng and shouted, “Little Wang, come here quickly. Thank Brother Yang for saving you.”

Wang Hanpeng lowered his head and slowly walked over. He said softly, “Um, thank you.”

“Kid, how can you speak like that?” When Lin Xiurun saw this, he rebuked angrily, “Is this how perfunctory you treat your savior?”

“Thank you, Brother Yang!” Wang Hanpeng’s face was flushed red, but his head remained lowered as he shouted.

“…I have extra pants. Go change into them. You’re welcome here.”

“No, I have to thank you!”

This time, Wang Hanpeng was much more sincere. After expressing his gratitude, he ran away.

The girls at the side covered their mouths and giggled.

Half of Wang Hanpeng’s pants were soaked with urine.

Su Jingxing noticed his predicament and reminded him kindly.

“Brother Yang, you’re such a good person. It’s just a little strange. I think I’ve seen the throwing dagger skill you used earlier somewhere.”

A low voice sounded. Fan Chungang led the security team towards Su Jing as he spoke slowly.

“Is that so?”

Hearing this, Su Jingxing turned to look at the fully armed Fan Chungang and said calmly, “What a coincidence. May I know where Manager Fan saw it?”

“Team Leader Fan, what’s so strange about that?” Xu Nianxiang frowned in confusion. “Aren’t all throwing dagger skills similar?”

“Yeah, to put it simply, it’s just dart throwing.” A girl echoed. “To be honest, I can do it too, but my accuracy isn’t as good as Brother Yang’s.”

“Haha, I’ve played darts before too.”

“Me too, me too!”

The girls chattered.

“Hehe, I’m not afraid to share. When I was young, I was number one in the school in darts!” Lin Xiurun also chimed in.

Fan Chungang’s expression changed slightly when he heard them, but he quickly recovered.

“Is that so? It seems I was mistaken.”

Fan Chungang said with an insincere smile, “My apologies, Brother Yang.”

“What’s there to apologize for?”

Xu Nianxiang spoke before Su Jingxing could. “Just like I said, throwing dagger skills are about the same. It’s normal for you to be mistaken.”

“Indeed.”

Su Jingxing smiled. “There’s nothing to argue about…”

“No!”
