Chapter. 2. Is She Dead?

Ma Keng Hong then sat with them.

When the other two had returned to their seats. Ma Keng Hong spoke up, “Yim Heng, to be honest from the start, Siauwte had overheard the conversation between Yim Heng and Kwee Heng. Several things are very interesting to Siauwte's ears—”

Ma Keng Hong's words were interrupted for a moment, the waiter came and placed all the orders from the young man. Ma Keng Hong pointed at his two retainers who were still sitting where they were. “Their order, put it on the table over there, they won't join me here, then also bring some delicious food for these two Enghiongs.”

“Okay, Concubine!” The servant complied and brought the food to a table occupied by two of Ma Kongcu's followers.

“Ma Laote, can you continue what I wanted to say just now?” Yim Han Li reminded.

“Yim Heng, actually the thing that Siauwte wanted to hear from Yim Heng the most—is related to news about Ning Lihiap. Siauwte is just like Kwee Heng, very curious about what Yim Heng said earlier.” Ma Keng Hong said honestly, the reason he changed seats was because of this.

“Ma Laote, Kwee Heng! Regarding this matter, what I said before was all true, no lies or other condiments. I attended the funeral service from start to finish, but still, it aroused great curiosity in my heart.” Yim Han Li stared at Ma Keng Hong and Kwee Kai Hong for a moment.

He lowered his head slightly, his hands moving, waving lightly o make the other two people also bow slightly.

“Ma Laote and Kwee Heng should know, Ning Ciangkun's family forbade the entire people of Luoyang City from mentioning Ning Lihiap's name. Since the day Ning Lihiap died, Luoyang City seems to have forgotten about that Lihiap.” Yim Han Li whispered, and only the two table mates could hear.

Ma Keng Hong seemed to think for a moment, he rubbed his stomach. “How about we eat first? Siauwte also felt that there was something strange about Yim Heng's story earlier, but an empty stomach made Siauwte's mind unable to think clearly.” The young man's smile looked like a girl's smile.

“Yim Heng and Kwee Heng, please taste the golden monkey wine that Laote ordered earlier.” Ma Keng Hong made an offer to the two people he had just met.

This young man is known as friendly. In the Martial World, the majority of people skilled in martial arts and writing were a collection of polite and friendly people.

Yim Han Li and Kwee Kai Hong didn't hesitate, they poured wine into cups, including into Ma Keng Hong's cup.

After taking a sip of a cup of fragrant wine, Kwee Kai Hong's mind became more intelligent and clear.

“Brak!” He slapped the table violently, this action immediately startled Yim Han Li and Ma Keng Hong. However, it soon paid off when the overjoyed Kwee Kai Hong said quietly. “Could it be that Ning Lihiap isn't dead yet?! If you think about it, this series of events is very strange. Is she dead?!”

Yim Han Li and Ma Keng Hong glared at Kwee Kai Hong. Suddenly the same thought as Kwee Kai Hong crossed their minds. “Is she dead?!”

When the three of them were lost in their thoughts.

Several other shadowy silhouettes entered the first floor of the Golden Swan Villa and immediately interrupted the three people's thoughts.

The body silhouettes that had come before were those of the Martial World, most likely, they were one of the many people who wanted to try their luck as well as obtain a magical beast in the rainbow lotus pond.

There are five of them, each with its unique style. This is the kind of group that merges suddenly. They became acquainted on the way, then allied to obtain the magical beast.

This group, they were the class of brute category martial artists, who had never learned any manners.

The strongest-looking person in the group was a middle-aged man. The clothes he wore were neat and clean, and the pair of swords strapped to his back added to the man's dashing impression.

Clean face, curved eyebrows like machetes and slightly slanted eyes, sharp nose. Then lips that are neither thick nor thin, between the nose and the thick mustache lips that are always trimmed.

The person's eyes were sharp like an eagle's, there was no trace of tenderness in his eyes.

This guy is dashing. However, he still belongs to the category of rude people who do not understand literature. While the other four looked younger, each of them had a sword hanging from their waist.

They looked around for a moment, looking for empty tables and chairs. Until their gaze stopped at the table next to Ma Keng Hong and his two new colleagues.

While walking towards the table and chairs, one of the four said, “Wen Twako! Laote accidentally went to the rainbow lotus pond first. To be honest, nowadays there have been gathering all kinds of strong martial arts from powerful sects—”

The person called Wen Twako interrupted his words. “Then, what's with those formidable warriors from powerful sects? Are you afraid of them? Bai Laote need not worry—lions, tigers, and wolves fight, and the dogs eat the leftovers.”

The leader surnamed Wen spoke wisely.

That is a form of idiom, an example of strong people fighting each other. Then the final result was even taken and carried away by the weak.

After the five of them sat down, they continued chatting to their heart's content. “That's right, Wen Twako said. Even though Shao Lim, Wu Dang, Kun Lun, and other powerful sect people also came. We just need to look and wait for the right moment as Wen Twako explained before. ”

Their basic, rude people, the market strategy is offhand, and they speak so confidently. It was as if the other people didn't know about this tactic. Even though it was only a very common strategy, almost all martial artists thought the same thing.

After all, the big college disciples, not a bunch of fools, must have calculated the gains and losses.

They also analyzed the existence of a third option, namely the presence of black-class martial artists. Legends like; Tok Ong Nan Kui, will also appear.

In this case, magical beasts weren't only useful as a means to increase the internal energy base. However, for poison experts, certain parts of the animal can be used as a very deadly poison.

Such a choice had been thought of by the disciples of the great academies.

Then most importantly, the Dragon child only appeared for a moment, right on a bright full moon night. That's about thirteen days from now.
