516: Chapter 0518: Choosing a Gift 516: Chapter 0518: Choosing a Gift Chu Ge lightly coughed once, not directly responding to Jian Chunqiu’s words.
He leisurely said, “The night sky isn’t looking too great today, can’t even see the moon.”
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Jian Chunqiu stared dumbfounded at the now dark screen of his phone, and couldn’t help but swear, “Damn!”
To think he was played by so twenty-year-old brat!
Chu Ge hung up the call, pocketed his phone, and prepared to head towards the Tang Family residence.
He’d see Tang Xin later and ask her to show him the item in question, and incidentally help him select it.
The few young n following behind him persisted in their tailing.
Ahead lay a dimly lit alleyway—a perfect opportunity for action.
Chu Ge deliberately slowed down, appearing as if he was simply strolling down the road, leisurely and carefree.
The few n following him scratched their heads in puzzlent, “Boss, do you think he’s noticed us?”
“No matter if he has or not.
We’ve already set up traps ahead.
The alley is his only way through.
As soon as he enters, we’ll have the boys charge out.
With so many of us, are we still afraid of just him?”
“But boss, I’ve heard this guy’s martial arts are extraordinary, what if…”
“You coward!
If you’re scared, then get lost to the side!”
The worried man’s head got slapped, and he cowered, not daring to make another peep.
As they discussed, the mont Chu Ge entered the alley, several n charged out.
They had rough features and bulky figures, each holding a club and tapping it in their hand.
Chu Ge stopped in his tracks, the corner of his lips curving up scornfully.
He stood there, with no intention of turning around and leaving.
“Yo, surprised you aren’t scared or running seeing the bunch of us!”
Chu Ge’s composure surprised them montarily, but it was just that, montary.
The man who stood at the forefront among them was thin with a thick gold chain around his neck—a typical thuggish ringleader of society.
A cigarette dangled from his hand, flickering sparks in the dark night.
“What do you guys want with ?” Chu Ge asked indifferently.
“Are you Chu Ge?”
“I am.”
“We won’t beat around the bush with you.
We’ve been tasked to fetch sothing from you, a book, a book you got from the auction.
If you know what’s good for you, you’ll hand over the book.
If not, don’t bla us for not being polite!”
Chu Ge lightly curled his lips, this was again for the secret manual, sothing he had guessed already.
“And if I refuse to hand it over, how do you plan to ‘not be polite’ to ?” These people were just ordinary street thugs at most.
Whoever sent them must be soone who doesn’t understand Ancient Martial Artists.
Chu Ge found it hard to guess who the person could be.
Since they could precisely say that the secret manual was obtained by him at the auction, it must have been soone who was at the auction with him who sent these thugs.
But those coveting this secret manual all belonged to the Ancient Martial Sect; they understood Ancient Martial Artists all too well, so how could they send these powerless thugs to compete for the manual?
That just didn’t make any sense.
anwhile, sitting at a café not far from the end of the alley by a window on the second floor was a man clad in a pink suit.
He sipped his coffee lightly, waiting to hear good news from the direction of the alley.
This person was none other than Ge Fan, who narrowly escaped capture at the auction due to eavesdropping.
He had now beco the cherished pet of the Huayue Sect Leader Hua Liuyue, first because his constitution was special, being extrely yang and pure, and second because his bed skills were remarkable, winning the heart of Hua Liuyue.
Today, his purpose in coming out was to obtain that secret manual from Chu Ge to please Hua Liuyue.
Alas, because he had overheard Chu Ge talk about his loss of martial arts before, he didn’t know that Chu Ge had already restored his abilities.
That’s why only so ordinary people were sent.
These people were first-rate fighters in a brawl—at least, among ordinary people.
Ge Fan glanced at the ti, feeling that they should have dealt with the situation by now, so he got up to settle the bill and walked out of the café, heading towards the dark alley.
He wanted to see what the man who instilled fear in Hua Liuyue looked like in his sorry state now.
As soon as he approached the alley, he heard a series of ghostly wails and howls of agony.
Ge Fan clicked his tongue, “That’s all there is to it?
Crying like that, they really don’t have any spine.”
However, as he continued walking, he realized sothing was off about these sounds.
The continued screams coming from the alley were in different voices, aning they ca from different people.
Ge Fan was startled for a mont, quickening his pace and running into the alley.
By the faint light, he saw the people he had sent lying on the ground in pain, groaning incessantly.
“What happened?
Where is he?” There was no sign of Chu Ge among the people sprawled on the ground.
“He…
he ran away…”
The person’s voice trembled involuntarily; recalling what had just happened felt like a nightmare.
Was that person really human?
No!
Not human!
He was a demon!
So many of them, seven or eight strong n, were all taken down by him in three seconds.
He even had the feeling, the illusion that his arm might be broken.
Because it hurt like hell!
Ge Fan looked ahead in disbelief.
Chu Ge had vanished without a trace, and several bold guesses ford in his mind—Chu Ge’s martial arts were still there!
They hadn’t disappeared at all!
A miscalculation!
Ge Fan secretly annoyed with himself, he should have sent so Ancient Martial Artists!
He had underestimated his opponent!
Chu Ge really didn’t want to lay a hand on them because he knew they were just doing their job for money.
It wasn’t worth taking their lives for nothing.
It wasn’t that he had a change of heart and wanted to spare their lives; it was that he sohow had the thought in his mind that he didn’t want to kill.
Chu Ge wondered if it could be because he had been cultivating with Master Guangde’s wooden fish, which might have influenced him?
As he was musing on this, Chu Ge walked into the Tang Family compound.
As it happened, he saw Tang Xin in the courtyard.
Tang Xin saw Chu Ge and was about to turn around and leave, but then thought that if she did so, would it not look like she had a guilty conscience?
Tang Xin forced herself to stand still to appear normal.
“Mr.
Chu, you’re back,”
Tang Xin said.
Chu Ge nodded slightly, “Lady Tang Xin, do you have ti tomorrow?”
He asked.
Tang Xin’s heart skipped a beat.
She looked up at Chu Ge, puzzled, “What’s the matter?”
Chu Ge smiled awkwardly, “I need your help picking out a gift.”
