Urban Martial Saint

Shen Er was momentarily surprised, seeing Ye Qing in this situation, it was obvious that he knew Handsome Fatty Wang. However, Ye Qing seemed to really hate this Handsome Fatty Wang, even more than his sworn enemies, which left everyone wondering what Handsome Fatty Wang had done to Ye Qing.

”Damn, you can’t be serious!” Handsome Fatty Wang immediately got agitated, saying, ”Little Leaf, are you pretending not to know me? Have you forgotten how I helped you last time in Liaoshen City?”

”How did you help me in Liaoshen City?” Ye Qing widened his eyes, this Handsome Fatty Wang guy was making stuff up without a second thought.

”How could I not have helped you? If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t know Old Wang Ba’s whereabouts, would you?” Handsome Fatty Wang huffed and puffed, ”Think about it, think about it, who told you about the Old Wang Ba matter?”

Ye Qing: ”That matter...”

Before Ye Qing could finish, Handsome Fatty Wang cut him off directly: ”Also, last time on the plane, if I hadn’t blocked the door, those two would’ve caught up with you already.”

Ye Qing: ”Stop self-aggrandizing, have you forgotten that you are...”

”And this time, I knew Prince Wan Yan headed south, so I specifically left that clue to lure him to deal with me, drawing the enemy away from you.” Handsome Fatty Wang interrupted Ye Qing again, not giving him a chance to speak.

”Give me a break!” Ye Qing fumed, saying, ”You call this drawing the enemy away? You purposely set me up. If you hadn’t pulled that stunt, would Prince Wan Yan have come for me? I came to the Shen Family Manor this time, and as soon as I got here, Prince Wan Yan caught me. I almost lost my life, and you still have the nerve to say you helped me?”

”How can I control if Prince Wan Yan doesn’t come after me?” Handsome Fatty Wang spread his hands, saying, ”That old fox is as cunning as ever, what can I say? If he doesn’t come after me, that’s my fault?”

”Get lost, stop talking nonsense.” Ye Qing said indignantly, ”I’ve been looking for you these days, and you brought yourself to my doorstep. Let me tell you, you can’t just walk away from these things you’ve done to me. And you’ve got some nerve coming to the Shen Family Manor to steal things, are you tired of living? This time, I doubt you’ll be leaving the Shen Family Manor in one piece.”

Seeing Ye Qing like this, Shen Er couldn’t help but smile. He knew Ye Qing’s character well. Unless someone crossed Ye Qing’s bottom line, he generally wouldn’t harm anyone. Moreover, Ye Qing was not much of a talker, and here he was, saying so much to this fat guy, clearly just trying to scare him. Who knew what kind of grudge Ye Qing and this fatty had? But since Ye Qing knew this fatty, Shen Er decided not to intervene any further.

”Ye Qing, since you have a grudge against him, I’ll leave him to you.” Shen Er stood up, saying, ”There are other matters outside to attend to, so we’ll be heading out.”

”Alright!” Ye Qing nodded.

”No goodbye then.” Handsome Fatty Wang was still trying to be sociable, and then Shen Er glanced back at him and suddenly said, ”Ye Qing, there’s a cave in the back mountain, perfect for hiding corpses. Do as you see fit.”

This statement gave Handsome Fatty Wang a fright, and he quickly laughed, saying, ”What... what a joke...”

”Heh heh...” Ye Qing let out a cold chuckle, nodding: ”I got it.”

Shen Er led the group out, and after seeing Shen Er leave, Handsome Fatty Wang immediately approached Ye Qing, saying, ”You’re something else, Ye! In the police station last time, didn’t you tell Fat Lord something? You said if I let you know about the Prince Wan Yan matter, you’d find a way to get Fat Lord out. And what did you do?”

”So, you’re here to confront me?” Ye Qing glanced at Handsome Fatty Wang, saying, ”Fatty, I’m not unfamiliar with your tricks, they don’t work on me. Now, tell me, what’s your real reason for coming to the Shen Family Manor this time!”

”Nonsense, what else could I be here for?” Handsome Fatty Wang said, ”Of course, I’m here to find you, damn it, you almost got Fat Lord killed. Fortunately, Fat Lord was smart and escaped from prison early. Otherwise, if Prince Wan Yan caught me, I’d probably be dead.”

”You ran away, and you still blame it on me?” Ye Qing said, dissatisfied.

”Don’t make it sound like you didn’t set me up either. If you hadn’t set me up, would I have ended up in that prison in the first place? If Prince Wan Yan went to Shenchuan City and I was still in prison, wouldn’t catching me have been like catching a turtle in a jar? How could I have preserved my handsome life?” Handsome Fatty Wang rolled his eyes, saying, ”And when did I ever blame you? Don’t start accusing people with utter nonsense.”

”You say that’s not blaming me?” Ye Qing glared, ”Leaving those words on the wall, clearly telling Prince Wan Yan we’re in cahoots, and we’re trying to take that Gold Silk Armor for ourselves!”

”Hey, listen to yourself, acting like I framed you.” Handsome Fatty Wang looked at Ye Qing, saying, ”Isn’t the Gold Silk Armor with you?”

”This...” Ye Qing was at a loss for words, the Gold Silk Armor really was in his possession.

”Are you planning not to hand over the Gold Silk Armor to Prince Wan Yan?” Handsome Fatty Wang asked again.

Ye Qing furrowed his brows. Handsome Fatty Wang’s two questions hit the nail on the head. Indeed, the Gold Silk Armor was in Ye Qing’s hands, and Ye Qing truly didn’t want to hand it over to Prince Wan Yan.

”So, what now? Got nothing to say?” Handsome Fatty Wang said, ”I didn’t frame you, right? You were planning to keep the Gold Silk Armor all along. I wasn’t wrong in leaving those words.”

”But you can’t say I’m conspiring with you to keep Prince Wan Yan’s Gold Silk Armor, making it look like I want to deal with him,” Ye Qing said urgently.

”Oh, as long as you don’t want to return the Gold Silk Armor to Prince Wan Yan, it means you’re going against him,” Handsome Fatty Wang said, grabbing an apple from the table while walking over. ”I don’t know what Prince Wan Yan’s family values about this armor, but that old guy certainly takes it extremely seriously. These days, Prince Wan Yan has been sending people to catch me. Thankfully, Fat Lord here is clever; otherwise, by now you might have been burning incense for Fat Lord.”

Ye Qing glanced at Handsome Fatty Wang and said, ”You’re pretty brave, aren’t you? Prince Wan Yan’s been sending people after you, and you still dare to come to Shen Family Manor? Don’t you know Prince Wan Yan is here at Shen Family Manor?”

”Of course, I know. It’s precisely because he’s at Shen Family Manor that I came here,” Handsome Fatty Wang said. ”This is Shen Family Manor; you’re here, and so is he; he hasn’t dared to do anything to you. I came, and it’s still safe for me.”

One has to admit, Handsome Fatty Wang is quite clever. It was obvious that Shen Family Manor was absolutely safe, so he came here. However, Ye Qing knows very well Handsome Fatty Wang’s personality: he’s not only shameless but also greedy. His visit to Shen Family Manor this time is absolutely not simple, because he wouldn’t expose himself in front of Prince Wan Yan for no good reason. What exactly is driving this chubby man to take such a big risk?

Ye Qing harbored suspicions, but on the surface, his expression didn’t change. He knew this chubby guy was cunning, and Handsome Fatty Wang would surely notice the slightest movement.

”Alright, stop overthinking,” Handsome Fatty Wang, draping an arm over Ye Qing’s shoulder, said, ”We’ve gone through thick and thin together. Fat Lord is a person who values emotions deeply. Although you screwed me over before, I’m generous and won’t hold grudges; I still see you as a friend.”

”Hey, you’re wrong there,” Ye Qing said. ”The number of times I’ve screwed you is fewer than the times you’ve screwed me.”

”Ah, doesn’t matter; we’re brothers anyway, why count so meticulously?” Handsome Fatty Wang laughed. ”You’ve screwed me, I’ve screwed you, so shall we call it even?”

Ye Qing didn’t say anything. He didn’t actually bear a grudge against Handsome Fatty Wang, after all, Handsome Fatty Wang hadn’t done anything that crossed Ye Qing’s bottom line. But being screwed over by Handsome Fatty Wang twice made Ye Qing grit his teeth in annoyance, placing Handsome Fatty Wang in the same category as Old Wang Ba and Shijia—people he felt like giving a good beating the moment he saw them.

”Alright, it’s settled then, everything from before is wiped clean.” Handsome Fatty Wang shook Ye Qing’s hand and said, ”I know you’re still a bit pissed at me. To completely dispel any doubts, I’ll tell you what, Fat Lord will give you a piece of information for free; how’s that for a deal?”

”No way!” Ye Qing said. ”When I screwed you over, at most, it was just having you thrown in jail for a few days, where you got good food and no risk. What about you screwing me over, causing me so much trouble? You think saying it’s even makes it even?”

”I said, I’ll even give you a piece of information for free. Isn’t that enough?” Handsome Fatty Wang said.

”Not interested!” Ye Qing said. ”Can your dog’s mouth spit out ivory? No information can make up for the harm you’ve caused me!”

”Huangfu Ziyu’s information, perhaps?” Handsome Fatty Wang said softly.

Ye Qing suddenly raised his head and grabbed Handsome Fatty Wang’s shoulder, saying, ”What did you say? What did you just say?”

”I said, how about information about Huangfu Ziyu?” Handsome Fatty Wang laughed. ”So? Is that information valuable? Can my mouth spit out ivory or not now?”

”Yes, yes, your mouth can spit out any kind of ivory!” Ye Qing, disregarding everything else, urgently asked, ”Do you... do you have news about Ziyu? Is it true? Where is she now?”

”What do you mean, can spit out any kind of ivory? Are you cursing me?”

”No, I’m not cursing,” Ye Qing said urgently. ”Oh, don’t mind the details, get to the point—Is Ziyu’s information real?”

”Of course it’s true. Do you think my Jianghu Baixiaosheng nickname is fake?” Handsome Fatty Wang said. ”But before I tell you, we need to make things clear. I give you information about Huangfu Ziyu, and all previous grievances between us are wiped clean. How about it?”

”No problem!” Ye Qing replied straightforwardly, now only wanting to know about Huangfu Ziyu. As for the grievances with Handsome Fatty Wang, is that even a thing? Old Wang Ba screwed Ye Qing over so many times and Ye Qing still hasn’t gone after him, let alone this small matter with Handsome Fatty Wang.
