C181 The Nine-life Cat Won for Nothing

Hou Jian looked at the document. After reading it word by word, he bit his finger hard and pressed it hard on it. He then grabbed the document and handed it to Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya took the document and smiled. He tore the document into pieces and threw it into the air. Broken pieces of paper floated down. Hou Jian said in surprise, "What do you mean by this?"

Duan Tianya said, "You have already drawn it. The receipt is mine. I can do whatever I want. "

Hou Jian said, "I will still return you the silver. "

Duan Tianya said, "That is your problem. "

After sending the blacksmith away, Duan Tianya asked the shopkeeper to make the dishes and dishes on the four big tables. Not long later, Xuan Zhengchen came back with people. He could not help saying, "It is so sumptuous!"

Duan Tianya teased, "If you come back late, our Tieniu will also eat your portion. "

Everyone sat down. Xuan Zhengchen seemed to have calmed down a lot. He poured himself a few cups and drank a few cups. Duan Tianya saw what happened and asked. "Is there the whereabouts of Xu Liangjiu and Bai Sheng?"

Xuan Zhengchen sighed and said, "We finally have some clues. I don't know if they are one of them. "

Duan Tianya said, "This matter is like finding a needle in a haystack. It may seem uncertain, but it is also very easy to achieve. "

Xuan Zhengchen sighed and raised his wine glass. "Everything is fate, and it cannot be helped at all. Come, let's do it!" After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Although the journey to the Golden Snake Hall was not far, the heavy rain had made the road seem especially muddy and rugged. After thinking about it, Xuan Zhengchen and the others decided to delay for a day and wait for the rain to stop before making plans.

More and more merchants came to shelter from the rain. At this moment. . . A person ran in from outside and found a place to sit. Putting down the bamboo hat, he placed the sword on the table. Duan Tianya looked at this person. He was short and thin. His face was sallow and his yellow mustache was yellow. He had a sharp mouth and a monkey cheeks, but his eyes were surprisingly big. They were round like cats.

Xuan Zhengchen moved his face closer and asked, "Duan, do you recognize this person?"

Duan Tianya looked up and down and shook his head. "I don't recognize him. "

Xuan Zhengchen said, "He is the Nine-Life Cat, Bai Sheng. "

Duan Tianya was a little surprised. "He is the famous thief in the martial arts world?"

"That's him. Not only is he good at stealing, but he has also learned martial arts from somewhere in the past few years. He can be said to be one of the best. " Xuan Zhengchen said as he walked towards Bai Sheng. He cupped his fists and said, "May I ask if you are the Nine-Life Cat, Bai Sheng?"

Bai Sheng was not surprised. As he tidied up his clothes, he said, "If my guess is correct, you should be the Nine Tribulations Sword Arts, Xuan Zhengchen, right?"

Xuan Zhengchen nodded and said. "Yes!"

At this time, he turned around and went into the room, intending to sleep. Meng Chong and the others walked over together. Bai Sheng simply ordered some food and wine and said to Xuan Zhengchen, "You don't think I have gold and silver treasures on me, do you?"

Xuan Zhengchen said, "Do you mind having a drink with me?"

Bai Sheng smiled and said, "If you pay for me, I would be happy to. " Then he cupped his fists at Duan Tianya and said, "Duan! I have long heard of your great name!"

Duan Tianya said in surprise, "You recognize me?"

In the blink of an eye, all the dishes and dishes were served. Bai Sheng poured himself a cup and drank it. "It's not strange that you know me. Besides, your sword skills are shocking. There are hardly any rivals in the martial arts world. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "You really know a lot. "

"I may know more than that. " He handed Duan Tianya a glass of wine.

Duan Tianya declined and said, "I don't drink. "

"You quit drinking?"

Duan Tianya nodded. "Yes! I quit drinking. "

Bai Sheng sounded surprised. "A man who likes drinking as much as his life. He quit drinking. "

Duan Tianya did not ask how Bai Sheng knew about him. He did not want to ask because it would not work even if he asked. For a bandit like Bai Sheng, he would let you know what you should know. If he did not want you to know, you might not believe him even if he told you.

Xuan Zhengchen also acted very strange. He didn't ask Bai Sheng about it. Perhaps in his eyes, it was the murderer of Xuan Peng. Bai Sheng was not a good thief.

It was clear after the rain, and everyone was in a hurry to get on their way. Bai Sheng was also in a hurry to leave. It was said that he was going to steal the family heirloom of a wealthy merchant. Xuan Zhengchen looked at the muddy road and decided to wait for another two or three days. He would wait until the water accumulated on the road disappeared.

Duan Tianya looked at the droplets of water dripping from the roof and said meaningfully, "Why didn't Senior Xuan ask if Bai Sheng killed Xuan Peng?"

Xuan Zhengchen replied, "He's just a thief. Killing Xuan Peng won't do him any good. "

"It won't do anyone any good to kill Xuan Peng, but he was still killed. "

"You mean I shouldn't miss out on anyone who could kill Peng'er?"

Duan Tianya said with a smile, "There are fish in the net, even if there are fish in the net, unless you don't want to take revenge. "

Xuan Zhengchen did not understand. "Is he the one who slipped through the net?" Bai Sheng returned while they were talking. Xuan Zhengchen asked, puzzled. "Why did he come back?"

Bai Sheng shook off a pair of drenched shoes and shook them in front of everyone's eyes. He said, "The road is too difficult. You either buy a horse or wait for the road to be easier to walk on. "

Duan Tianya teased, "I never thought that a Divine Thief would be troubled by a pair of shoes. "

Bai Sheng laughed and said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one foot. Anyone will be troubled by the difficulty of the road. Everyone wants to walk smoothly. Who would want to be unable to move forward?"

Duan Tianya agreed and said, "That's true. "

Just like that, Bai Sheng and Duan Tianya stayed together for two days. Bai Sheng was a very strange person. It was so strange that no one knew how to describe him. He was greedy and ambitious, but also cunning and cautious. He could drink well, but he was never greedy. Even though Meng Chong tried to persuade him to drink, it was only a matter of time.

He wasn't interested in anything else except Duan Tianya's performance. Duan Tianya also felt that Bai Sheng was very mysterious. Many years ago, he was just an unknown thief. A few years ago, he had taken a place in the martial arts world without anyone noticing. Now, he had turned from a small thief to a bandit with unparalleled martial arts skills.

However, it was obvious that he was a thief. For some reason, Bai Sheng was a little afraid of Duan Tianya. His words and actions always seemed to avoid Duan Tianya.

When Xuan Zhengchen asked about Xuan Peng's death, Bai Sheng denied it. He repeatedly said that he only liked treasures and had no interest in fighting in the martial world.

The weather was clear after the rain. When Bai Sheng left, he bought an old horse in the inn. Xuan Zhengchen looked at him and couldn't help but say, "This is a thief. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I don't think he is that simple. "

The journey was not too far. Xuan Zhengchen prepared a horse for each of them. They rode on the horse and did not have to worry about the muddy road. The group of people headed towards the Golden Snake Hall.
