Chapter 201 Heavenly Wolf Cult
Because the Jade Tablet had a rule that it couldn't be more than ten meters away from Yang Yiyi, Li Chengxi wasn't worried about losing it, he was just a little concerned about how this situation would be resolved.
But as he continued to watch, this concern was thrown to the back of his mind.
How interesting was it to watch two pretty girls fight? He was just short of shouting, "Pull her hair, rip off her clothes!"
But then the party crashers arrived, which was not so good.
Especially when Li Chengxi zoomed out the view a little and saw a row of a dozen or so people standing on the outer wall of the Cloth Store.
There were men and women, and their attire seemed to follow no particular pattern; they were all common types one would see on the street.
One of the men shouted:
"Yanzi, what are you doing!"
Hearing this voice, Qin Yan's heart jumped in surprise, and she quickly let go and retreated.
Yang Yiyi also released her grip at the same time, clutching her chest and taking a few steps back, looking at the group of people on the wall with alarm and suspicion.
"Big Brother..."
"I told you to enter the city quietly and not cause trouble. Did you treat my words as wind passing by your ears?"
"I didn't, it's just, it's her!"
The man Qin Yan called Big Brother glanced at Yang Yiyi and immediately recalled what had happened in the ruined Daoist Temple not long ago.
As the big brother, how could he not know what his younger sister was thinking? One look at Yang Yiyi and he understood.
Qin Yan must have been feeling resentful and came looking for trouble.
"This female hero, I am Zhou Yuxuan. My little sister has been spoiled at home. If she has offended you, please forgive her. I will be sure to discipline her strictly."
Yang Yiyi had thought this group was here to back Qin Yan up.
Hearing what Zhou Yuxuan said, she was momentarily stunned.
Although Yang Yiyi had been particularly enthusiastic in helping Escort Leader Wang's group fight the people from the Sixteen Fortresses at the ruined Daoist Temple, their impression of her was actually not bad.
Just think about it, for someone with no connection to them to be robbed, Yang Yiyi had stepped forward without hesitation.
What was this?
This was the spirit of chivalry.
The Sixteen Fortresses were not entirely made up of simple bandits; they were Greenwood Heroes who robbed the rich to help the poor, and they held such chivalry in the highest regard.
So, even though they had fought at the time, many of them had a very good impression of Yang Yiyi.
If she was willing to risk her life for complete strangers, she would surely be even more devoted to her friends.
Naturally, they believed she was a person worth befriending.
But Yang Yiyi didn't know any of this.
She didn't even recognize that this group of people was the same one from the Sixteen Fortresses who had tried to rob the escort.
She cupped her hands in a somewhat dazed manner.
Zhou Yuxuan didn't explain either.
He beckoned to Qin Yan:
"You, come back here. I'll deal with you properly when we get home!"
Qin Yan looked dejected.
This trip was a total loss.
Not only did she not get the treasure, but she also didn't get to vent her anger, and she would have to listen to her big brother's lecture when she got home.
A complete loss.
However, she still listened to her big brother.
She walked over with her head hanging low.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan said to Yang Yiyi:
"For today's matter, I should rightfully host a banquet to apologize on my little sister's behalf. However, we have urgent business and cannot stay long. In the future, if you, female hero, should encounter anyone from the Sixteen Fortresses, feel free to mention my name, Zhou Yuxuan. Farewell."
After saying this, he cupped his hands, and the group swiftly vaulted over the wall and disappeared in an instant.
It was only then that Li Chengxi quietly said to Yang Yiyi:
"That group of people is from the Sixteen Fortresses, the ones who tried to rob the escort at the ruined Daoist Temple."
"Ah?"
"The girl you were fighting for so long was also the person in black who fought you that time."
"Ah ah?"
"I think their urgent business is related to what happened with Escort Leader Wang. Let's follow them quietly and see."
"Ah ah ah? Oh, I understand."
Things had happened too quickly for Yang Yiyi's brain to process it all.
But just as Qin Yan would listen to her big brother, Yang Yiyi was also very obedient to Li Chengxi's words.
When he said to follow, Yang Yiyi followed without the slightest hesitation.
–––––––
When it came to tracking, Yang Yiyi's skills were nothing to speak of.
She might be able to catch a rabbit, but trailing this group of master thieves from the Sixteen Fortresses? Not to mention whether she could keep up, even if she could match their speed, running in circles through the alleys would be enough to make her dizzy.
So, this tracking was actually done using a method that was a bit of a cheat.
Although the Jade Tablet couldn't be more than 10 meters away from Yang Yiyi, its field of view had nothing to do with her.
In other words, the scope of the bird's-eye view Li Chengxi saw on the screen was far wider than what Yang Yiyi could see with her own two eyes.
He could literally see through walls.
So, Li Chengxi simply scrolled his mouse wheel, shrinking the image to expand his field of view.
Yang Yiyi's lightness skill was indeed no match for the people from the Sixteen Fortresses, but at least she could maintain a distance where she wasn't left too far behind.
Li Chengxi, using the advantage of his wide bird's-eye view, guided Yang Yiyi's direction from behind walls and even from behind houses.
The people from the Sixteen Fortresses were clearly very confident in their lightness skills.
They only wound through the alleys a few times, certain that even if Yang Yiyi had followed, she would have been shaken off.
Then, they headed straight for their destination.
Before long, under Li Chengxi's guidance, Yang Yiyi also arrived at the location the Sixteen Fortresses' people were heading to.
This was an old residence in the southern part of the city.
Perhaps because it had been uninhabited for too long, it was not at all as magnificent as the surrounding houses.
The small garden behind the house was already overgrown with weeds, and the pond was no different from a stinking ditch.
Into such a dilapidated place, the people of the Sixteen Fortresses leaped over without stopping, landing in the courtyard.
Guided by Li Chengxi, Yang Yiyi arrived a couple of beats later.
She pressed herself against the courtyard wall and peeked inside.
"Don't move yet. Let me see what they're up to."
Li Chengxi was so proactive because he felt that the Sixteen Fortresses' attempt to rob the escort was related to the Sky-Upholding Stone.
It was very likely that what Escort Leader Wang and his men were transporting was the Sky-Upholding Stone.
Although he didn't know that what Wang Zhen was transporting was actually a decoy, it was clear that the people from the Sixteen Fortresses were targeting the Sky-Upholding Stone.
For this group of bandits to risk being pursued by government soldiers to enter the city was also likely related to the Sky-Upholding Stone.
So, Li Chengxi had Yang Yiyi follow them to see.
If it was really related to the Sky-Upholding Stone, they might be able to fish in troubled waters and snatch a couple of pieces.
Moreover, compared to the people from the Sixteen Fortresses who had barged right in, Li Chengxi had Yang Yiyi wait by the wall while he used his bird's-eye view to observe, ensuring her safety.
If things went south, escaping would naturally be easy.
While he was busy with his own little calculations, the people from the Sixteen Fortresses who had jumped over the wall were standing in the ruined courtyard.
They didn't enter the house.
Instead, the man named Zhou Yuxuan shouted:
"You whelps of the Heavenly Wolf Cult, come out! Your grandfathers from the Sixteen Fortresses are here to teach you how to be human!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several figures holding weapons emerged from the dilapidated old house.
Although they were dressed like ordinary people, these were the so-called followers of the Heavenly Wolf Cult.
"Do you know of the Heavenly Wolf Cult?"
Li Chengxi asked in a low voice to Yang Yiyi, who was pressed against the outer courtyard wall, peeking inside.
"Never heard of it. I don't even recognize all the sects in the Jianghu."
This couldn't be helped.
From the very beginning, Yang Yiyi had been treated by her master as a gift for the Liu Family.
She wasn't taught any of her Sect's Martial Arts, nor was she told anything about the affairs of the Jianghu.
Yang Yiyi had only heard the names of some famous and prestigious orthodox sects; she was ignorant of all the rest.
But then again, in your average Wuxia novel, anything with the word 'Cult' in its name was eighty percent likely to be up to no good.
Then, Li Chengxi saw a big bald head emerge from the house.
That head was so shiny it looked like it had been waxed, making it stand out and also very reflective...
