Chapter 957: Chapter 957

"Absolutely." Xin Badao shrugged, then suddenly realized, "I know what you’re here for. You’re probably here to reclaim the Flowing Cloud Sect, right?"

"Smart deputy leader." Liu Bi showed an expression more painful than crying, feeling as if he wanted to die now.

"Haha, yesterday you so resolutely refused Leader Tang’s proposal, and now you come running for help — it’s truly amusing. Do you think Leader Tang will still agree?" Xin Badao sneered, looking at these two who were always so high and mighty, now thoroughly beaten, feeling an inexplicable thrill.

Especially that Liu Bi, who is a sect master equivalent to the Poison Sect’s master, yet now has to bow his head to me. All thanks to Tang Ming. If not for Tang Ming’s support, how could I possibly make the Flowing Cloud Sect’s master lower themselves ?

"What should we do now?" Liu Bi and Yao Buji were truly crying this time, never expecting things to turn out this way.

"If you have nothing else, just hurry up and leave, don’t waste everyone’s time." Xin Badao slowly stood up, saying with displeasure, "You made me come all the way back from Songlan City specifically, such a waste of life."

After speaking, Xin Badao left the reception hall with a confused Long Duba, too lazy to deal with these two self-righteous fools.

"Sect Master, it’s all your fault. I said we should talk to Tang Ming properly, he would definitely agree to help, but you insisted on coming to the provincial capital. Didn’t expect the Martial Arts Inspection Team to be under Tang Ming’s influence, huh?" Yao Buji looked at Liu Bi with a face full of grievance.

Liu Bi truly realized his mistake, but now the mistake has been made, he could only accept his fate with a sigh, saying helplessly, "It’s no use talking about it now. If I had known this would be the result, I would have just agreed to be Leader Tang’s follower, he is the leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team after all."

The two left the office full of regret, sitting by the roadside in the cold, lamenting.

"Sect Master, what do we do now? Your so-called two options are basically the same, now that this option is offended, how do we ask for help?" Yao Buji asked Liu Bi bitterly.

"Damn it, I really didn’t expect things to turn out ." Liu Bi picked up a cigarette butt, smoking and sighing, finally gritting his teeth and said, "Let’s go back to Songlan City."

"Why go to Songlan City again? Tang Ming said he’s traveling today; even if we want to admit our faults sincerely, there might not be a way." Yao Buji kept sighing.

"It’s impossible to ask Leader Tang for help now, but we can find someone else." Liu Bi said, his eyes gleaming with suggestion.

"Someone else? Songlan City is already Tang Ming’s territory, besides him, who else can help us?" Yao Buji was slightly stunned, asking in bewilderment.

"Haha, there is, it’s the Seven-star Martial Master Chen Cang." Liu Bi squinted, analyzing, "Chen Cang is a Seven-star Martial Master, while Qin Family’s people are not even at Seven Stars. As long as Chen Cang is willing to act, take down the three from Qin Family, then we can hope to reclaim the Flowing Cloud Sect. Let’s go rely on Chen Cang."

"I see. But Chen Cang is of low rank, he is Tang Ming’s subordinate. If we go to him, won’t our status be even lower?" Yao Buji reminded with worry.

"For the sect, I can’t care about that much." Liu Bi gritted his teeth, saying earnestly, "In martial arts cultivation, the capable are superior. Currently, Chen Cang is a powerful Seven-star Martial Master, much stronger than us. Even being his follower isn’t shameful. As long as we can reclaim the Flowing Cloud Sect, not only a follower, I’d be willing to be a grandson."

"Oh my great sect master, if only you had this mindset earlier, we could have directly aligned with Tang Ming, at least mingling on equal footing with Xin Badao and Chu Batian. Now we’ve unnecessarily dropped two ranks, truly cocooning ourselves." Yao Buji lamented bitterly.

"Alright, alright, I know this is my fault, aren’t I trying to make amends now?" Liu Bi impatiently glared at Yao Buji, threw away the cigarette butt, and quickly got up, "Let’s go, depart now, we can reach Songlan City by night."

"Sect Master..." Yao Buji squatted on the ground, looking pitifully at Liu Bi.

"What now?" Liu Bi looked at Yao Buji in confusion.

"I’m hungry." Yao Buji clutched his stomach, looking tragically at Liu Bi, having not eaten since they left the Liu Family villa yesterday.

"Such a lack of guts." Liu Bi glared at Yao Buji, heroically declaring, "When heaven bestows a great responsibility on a person, first it must make their body and bone tired and starved..."

"Grrr..." Before finishing, Liu Bi’s stomach embarrassedly growled, making him feel awkward.

"Sigh, I’m hungry too. Endure it, when we get to Songlan City, after pledging to Chen Cang, he should at least provide food and lodging, right?" Liu Bi said with a red face, sighing helplessly.

When Yao Buji and Liu Bi rushed back to Songlan City, Chen Cang was dining at the Liu Family villa with Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli.

They didn’t know Chen Cang was at the Liu Family villa, but they knew finding Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli would surely lead them to Chen Cang’s contact details. By chance, they indeed bumped into Chen Cang.

"Why are you here again, hey?" Upon seeing Liu Bi and Yao Buji led into the house by Uncle Quan, Li Xiaoli first mocked, "Weren’t you so brilliant yesterday? Why come today to scrounge for food and drink, hey?"

"Ahem, young lady, we are here to meet Young Hero Chen Cang." Liu Bi was no longer as arrogant as before, adopting a very humble demeanor.

"Young Hero Chen Cang?" Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli looked at Chen Cang in surprise.

"Ah, it’s unrelated to me, I’m Sister Cang, not a young hero." Chen Cang hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks, speaking earnestly.

"Old Chen, whether you’re Sister Cang or Young Hero, we’re here to see you." Yao Buji quickly spoke, looking at Chen Cang with flattery.

"Well, I thought you guys were trying to take advantage while Brother Tang Ming is away, but you’re actually here for Xiao Cang Cang, hey." Li Xiaoli pouted, playfully examining them, "What business do you have with Xiao Cang Cang? Never mind, I can refuse on behalf of Xiao Cang Cang, hey."

"This..." Liu Bi’s face immediately fell bitter, knowing his attitude yesterday angered this young lady, now wanting to make amends seemed difficult.

"Xiaoli, stop messing around." Liu Mengting lightly frowned, understanding, and said, "If they are here for Xiao Cang Cang, it must be something important to discuss, you’re a child, don’t interrupt."
