Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 75 Gentleman’s Appointment
What about people? !
The guest room was empty, with no sign of Wang Yi or his luggage.

This scene was completely confusing to the waiter who had no idea what was happening, and he didn't think much about it. He would just put the food on the table, shout, and then close the door and leave, telling the shopkeeper downstairs about the situation, and then treat the room as if someone was staying.

But for Young Master Yang Lie, who was eager to see the skills of the heroes in the martial arts world, this was very unfriendly.

They were keeping an eye on the person, and there were two senior brothers guarding outside. Even if the person really left, they should have said hello to them.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind, and Young Master Yang Lie, whose character had not yet been tempered, removed the illusion barrier on his body and appeared from the air.

I walked straight to the bedroom, looked at the open window, and understood the reason.

"When did he find out?"

Yang Lie was puzzled. Although he had only been in the Tang Sect for three years, his skills were considered outstanding among the younger generation in the sect. He also completed his first kill in the first year. After all, in this world, matters of life and death were too common, no matter whether they were cultivators or ordinary people.

They are all used to life and death. Although they are afraid, their overall mentality is much better than most people in peacetime.

But for Yang Lie, the future leader of the Tang Sect, this was the first time he suffered a loss from the illusion barrier, and it was a little hard for him to accept it for a while.

But since the person had already left, he had no choice but to leave the room muttering.

The room became quiet again. The food on the table had already gone cold. Fifteen minutes later, Wang Yi slowly walked out of the bedroom. He had never left the guest room from the beginning. He stood in front of Yang Lie, the future leader of the Tang Sect, and watched this guy, who was five or six years younger than him, wandering around in confusion.

He didn't figure it out until he was away for fifteen minutes before he staggered out.

Sitting down, looking at the drugged meal, he sighed helplessly.

"Huh, luckily I'm one step ahead and have developed a good habit of checking my vision at all times. But Tang Sect? I haven't done anything to anger the heavens and the people. Who is so petty as to pay Tang Sect to kill me? Those people at Old Master Lu's birthday banquet? It doesn't seem likely. The possibility is too low. Then it's only you, Director Zhu. You think I will block your way and become Gen Gen-sang's new partner? Tsk tsk tsk..."

Wang Yi thought carefully about the people he had come into contact with during this period of time. He had a grudge against Quan Xing, after all, he had killed more than 20 people. But Quan Xing's people asked Tangmen to help, and I was afraid that I would give them a KDA. After thinking about it, only Zhu Qianlong, the director of the capital, was the most suspicious. This was the good thing about time travelers. Sometimes, when you hear a familiar name, you know whether this person is someone you can get along with.

After locking on the target, Wang Yi looked at the meal on the table, thought about it, and decided not to mistreat his stomach, so he could only take the plate of tampered meal and go downstairs to ask someone to make another portion for him.

Just as he walked to the door with the plate of food, a dagger pierced through the door with lightning speed and stabbed Wang Yimen's door!

However, this sudden killing move did not succeed, as it was blocked by an invisible force field just three inches away from Wang Yi's body.

Taking advantage of the missed attack, Wang Yi quickly distanced himself and ran towards the window where he had previously used to divert the attention of the Tang Sect assassins.

But outside the window, Gao Yingcai and Li Ding, who had been waiting for a long time, also stabbed the daggers in their hands towards Wang Yi's shoulders. However, it was more difficult for them to succeed this time, because before they could make a move, a repulsive force that they could not resist bounced the two people who had activated the illusion barrier to hide their figures, exposing their figures in the air and falling uncontrollably on the street.

A sudden performance of flying people in broad daylight naturally attracted the attention of passers-by, and the corner of the street became crowded.

However, no one noticed Wang Yi, who also jumped out from the window of the guest room on the second floor, landed among the crowd in broad daylight, and then disappeared.

Gao Yingcai and Li Ding, who fell from the second floor but were not seriously injured, stood up and looked at the crowd with unnatural expressions. It was not until Yang Lie, who also had an unnatural expression, walked in that the three of them gathered together again. They disappeared from the sight of passers-by with their chaotic figures and steps, blending into the streets that had regained order in the chaos. They looked carefully at everyone who passed by, but did not see Wang Yi.

"What kind of trick is this? We arrived first and kept the illusion barrier open. He couldn't possibly know we were monitoring him."

"I don't understand. I didn't see him when I went in."

"Li Ding, are you sure that the little Taoist priest from Mount Longhu who knocked you unconscious earlier is on the same level as him? How did you survive?"

Two nearly thirty-year-old and one sixteen-year-old Tang Sect disciples were communicating there. They thought they had never been exposed and had hidden themselves well. But whether it was Yang Lie's return, or Li Ding and Gao Yingcai who were also itching to take action, they did not get any benefit from Wang Yi and were completely tricked.

"Because it was a martial arts competition, not a life-and-death contest. Although we all learned the skills of killing, the Little Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is not as good as us in this regard, but he has no need to compete with us, because when an assassin is exposed to the enemy, he has already lost. This child is a great talent. I'm afraid he noticed us when he entered the inn.

As for invisible means, there are only two types: either deceiving the enemy's eyes or deceiving the enemy's brain. I have told you more than once that although our Tang Sect's assassination methods are unique in the martial arts world, it does not mean that they will succeed every time. The Tang Sect will only accept each business after careful consideration. You don't think that the Tang Sect has been able to gain a foothold in the martial arts world for thousands of years because other sects are afraid of us, right?"

After being tricked by Wang Yi, Li Ding, Gao Yingcai and Yang Lie were stunned for a while. However, the eldest master of the Tang Clan, who had been following behind them and watching them, suddenly appeared and reminded them.

"Master?"

"Why are you here too, old man?"

"If you didn't come, would I be able to see this good show? Well, Master Yang, you have seen his methods. Fortunately, he didn't argue with you, otherwise I would have to collect your bodies now. Even I can't understand Wang Yi's methods for a while, it's hard to say whether I can save you from him."

"Master, even you are not sure?"

"Li Ding, have you forgotten that the little Taoist priest from Mount Longhu didn't even use his full strength when he defeated you?"

After his dark history was exposed by the master, Li Ding, a burly man, became weak.

"His cultivation is as famous as that of the Little Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, and he has also been recognized by the two Xuanmen leaders of Mount Longhu and Sanyi Sect. This means that Wang Yi and the Little Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu have cultivation levels that are almost on par with some sect leaders, and they are still very young, only twenty years old. I, Tang Jiaren, am fifty-eight years old this year, and I have only achieved such a level of cultivation at the age of sixty. Do you think I can be sure of it? Okay, you have seen his methods, and it is time to go back to the mountain gate to receive punishment."

Just as the master was about to take the three people back to the mountain gate, Wang Yi's voice came from the other side.

"I see. You guys are here to show me your skills. I thought you were here to kill me. Fortunately, it was a false alarm."
-
Wang Yi's voice came from the teahouse next door. Except for the big boss Tang Jiaren who could remain calm, the other three, even Li Ding and Gao Yingcai, two Tang Sect disciples who had several experiences of taking orders, were all sweating at this moment. But they still turned around and looked at Wang Yi who was ordering delicious tea and snacks and raising his glass to them.

He pointed to the table about three meters away from him, and his meaning was self-evident.

"My name is Wang Yi. Nice to meet you all from the Tang Sect. Since everyone is tired from the journey and there is a misunderstanding, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"

"Brother Wang is indeed a character. How lucky is it that the Ghost Hand King could pick up a talent like you as his disciple?" Looking at Wang Yi sitting there calmly, Tang Clan's head master Tang Jiaren was impressed. At the same time, he also joined the group chat to denounce the late Quan Xing sect member Ghost Hand King.

Then, they were also very skilled and bold, and accepted Wang Yi's invitation and took the first seat. As juniors, Gao Yingcai and others had no choice but to follow suit. Yang Lie, who was the youngest and still needed to hone his character, looked at Wang Yi who was not afraid of them at all, and seemed not to care at all about their attack just now.

You know, although it was a test match, they are from the Tang Sect. If one of them fails to stop and hits you for real, you will be dead, right? However, thinking about how Wang Yi found them the moment they landed, and how he had easily fooled them just now, he thought that he could really sit here and treat them to tea and chat.

But even though you have to obey, you still have to know how to talk.

"Why don't you leave?"

"My clothes are still in the guest room upstairs. I'm leaving. Will you buy me clothes and give me money?"

Yang Lie was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to evaluate Wang Yi's train of thought.

"Since you invited us to sit down, why don't you sit closer?" Li Ding also asked.

"The clothes and money should be taken back. As for sitting closer? The Tang Sect's Dan Shi is unrivaled in the world. I don't have the courage to sit with you, especially since there is a great master of the Tang Sect here."

Wang Yi stared at Tang Jiaren, the head of the Tang Sect, who was sitting in the middle. His meaning was self-evident. After all, the sects of the Yiren Jianghu have been passed down to this day. Except for those small sects that rarely show up, the methods and trump cards of the inherited sects such as Tang Sect, Longhu Mountain, and Shaolin are considered semi-public information in the Jianghu. Everyone knows what the signature methods of each sect are, but knowing it does not mean that they can crack it. It is nothing more than deterring each other.

Tang Sect's Dan Shi is such a method. Everyone knows it and is on guard against it. But when Tang Sect really uses this trick, they find that it is useless to defend against it. The worst result is a one-for-one exchange.

Wang Yi knew he was very powerful, but there was no need to gamble on whether he could defend against this. He just knew that this Danxi needed a certain distance to launch, and the characteristics of Danxi varied from person to person. Some were group attacks, but required close combat, while others were point-to-point breakthroughs, but the advantage was that they could kill from a distance.

He happened to know that this old man's Dan Shi was of the close-range type, and three meters was an absolutely safe distance. Whenever the other party made any unusual movements, he would dodge immediately.

"Brother Wang is very thoughtful, but we in the Tang Sect have a rule that if we don't receive any business, we should treat people the same way unless we are enemies. In addition to being killers, we are also practitioners."

"That's true, but the Tang Clan's assassins are well-known in the martial arts world. And my understanding of assassins is that as long as they can get the target, any means are fine. I don't know what the master said at this moment, whether the misunderstanding just now was intentional or accidental. For the sake of everyone, let's keep a distance when talking."

"Brother Wang, you have a very good understanding of assassins. If you were to join our Tang Sect, the Sect Master would probably have given you the surname Tang, changing you from Wang Yi to Tang Yi, the future successor to the Sect Master of Tang Sect."

“Just don’t call me Tang San,” Wang Yi muttered softly.

"Ok?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious, is the master going to take these three back next?"

"One left the mountain without permission, and the other two deliberately let it go. If we don't teach them a lesson, do we really want to fight with Brother Wang here?"

"That's not necessary. I just think that the world is so big and there are so many sects. I am a young man who has just entered the martial arts world and I also want to see more of the world. It's better to do it now than to wait for a good day. I also want to see the methods of the Tang Sect here."

"My Tang Sect's method is to fight to the death. You can't fight whenever you want!" Yang Lie continued to be stubborn.

"Then how about this? When you were practicing in the sect, did you and your fellow disciples see life and death day and night?"

"Of course not, but it is precisely because we are from the same sect that we know how to hold back. But Brother Wang, we are not from the same sect. You can help me, but it will cost you a different price."

"The Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain brought Zhang Zhiwei to you to compete, why didn't you ask him for money?"

"Because they are from Longhu Mountain."

OK. I've been waiting for you to say this!
Wang Yi was delighted and said, "It's a rough statement, but it makes sense. Since that's the case, I'll also offer a price. I don't care about real money, as I'm short of money. How about doing me a favor? If the Tang Sect needs help from outsiders in the future, as long as I'm still alive and do not violate the moral code of the martial arts world, I will definitely rush over to help the Tang Sect. Master, how much do you think I'm going to pay?"

As soon as these words came out, even the master was stunned.

But Wang Yi also said this cleverly. Human favors can be big or small.

Although the sect had just accepted Wang Yi's business, it was unpredictable. Maybe one day in the future, the Tang Sect would be unable to refuse and would have to come and assassinate Wang Yi. By then, this favor might come in handy, giving Wang Yi a chance to show some mercy.

"It's a gentleman's agreement."

"A gentleman's appointment is only for gentlemen, not villains. It depends on whether the master is a gentleman. I have finished my tea, so I would like to trouble the master to help me settle the bill. After all, my money is still upstairs."

Wang Yi was talking and laughing, pointing to the inn not far away, and then pointed to the Tang Sect's table to the servant. Then he stood up, still keeping a distance from the Tang Sect people, and disappeared into the crowd.

The Tang Sect still couldn't understand Wang Yi's method of hiding his figure, but at this moment, Gao Yingcai, Li Ding, and Yang Lie really didn't want to continue fighting with Wang Yi. Wang Yi was not afraid at all and gave them enough face. If they pushed him further, they would only be in trouble.

But the decision-making power still lies in the hands of the elder, the master.

"The head of the gate is the head of the gate after all. What do you think? I'll give you the decision-making power this time."

Li Ding and Gao Yingcai stopped talking. Only Yang Lie, the future leader of the Tang Sect, seemed to have an idea.

The master saw the reactions of the three people, but said nothing and just drank his tea.

Wang Yi didn't know when he returned to his guest room. He looked through the window at the four Tang Sect disciples who were still sitting in the teahouse drinking tea. Only then did he relax a little.
