C772 Looking at the Sky Speechlessly(2)
"That must be them, haha... This is going to be interesting. That fool actually went and provoked that guy. As soon as I heard he entered the area, I knew something was bound to happen. With that stunning woman by his side, there's no way Huo Dongcheng would let it slide. And with that kid's fiery temper, it's a wonder they didn't start a brawl right there. Haha..." Sun Mingyuan laughed heartily, taking a sip of his drink as if celebrating.
"So, sir, does this mean we don't need to worry about Woo Zhengyang anymore? The Huo family will handle him, and it'll be like they're doing you a favor," said an old servant standing behind Sun Mingyang.
"Old Hai, are you really that worried about me getting involved with Woo Zhengyang?" Sun Mingyang shot the old servant an annoyed glance.
"Sir, our family head has always warned us not to mess with that troublemaker. Besides, since someone else is already dealing with him, why should we get involved? We might end up crossing both Woo Zhengyang and the Huo family, and that wouldn't be good," the old servant advised earnestly.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If it weren't for the Huo family being involved, I wouldn't bother. But now, I think we can sit back and enjoy the show, and maybe even benefit from it," Sun Mingyuan said with a sly grin.
"Benefit from it?"
"Of course. With Huo Dongcheng's personality, he's sure to make a move as soon as Woo Zhengyang leaves town. But what he doesn't realize is that Woo Zhengyang isn't just anybody; he's hiding a huge secret and fortune. When the time comes, we can't let that big secret go to waste!"
"Sir, that Woo Zhengyang is no ordinary person!"
"Precisely because he's no ordinary person, we have to watch this unfold. Do you really think the Huo family can't handle Woo Zhengyang? If things get out of hand, we might even see Huo Tianxin get involved. Now that would be a spectacle! Even if we're not in it for the spoils, we can't miss this show!"
"Uh, alright..." The old servant didn't know what else to say and quietly stepped back.
"No, we need to do something to witness this drama. You, go gather more information and find me a discreet place to stay in the Tianxin area. I want to be updated with the latest news at all times," Sun Mingyuan instructed the sly-looking man.
"Yes!" The man agreed, bowed, and left, leaving Sun Mingyuan to continue drinking alone. He seemed quite pleased, with a faint smile occasionally appearing on his face.
...
Woo Zhengyang and Bing Yue had no idea that as soon as they entered Limitless City, they had already caught the attention of two powerful factions.
Even though he knew he had offended the Huo family, Woo Zhengyang wasn't too concerned. Even if Huo Tianxin himself showed up, he was confident he could hold his own.
The differences between the Golden Scale Domain and the Limitless Domain were significant, especially in the bustling Limitless City, which had many things the Golden Scale Domain had never seen before.
Bing Yue had visited Limitless City before, but back then, she was accompanied by Huo Dongsheng. With Huo's constant pestering, she couldn't focus on anything else and was solely preoccupied with finding a way to escape his attention. Eventually, she left just to get away from him, so she barely saw anything in the city.
This time, however, she was with Woo Zhengyang, and Bing Yue was determined to explore thoroughly. Following her around, Woo Zhengyang was a bit taken aback.
Bing Yue was like a child at a bustling fair, filled with curiosity about everything. If she could look at something, she had to see it; if she could touch it, she had to feel it; if she could try it, she had to test it; if she could taste it, she had to sample it.
The most amusing part was that she often just looked without buying, leaving the initially hopeful vendors disappointed. No one would have guessed that such a sophisticated and beautiful woman, with her impressive skills, would shop like an ordinary girl.
Woo Zhengyang was at a loss for words. It was surprising to see someone of her stature, a Martial King expert, behaving this way.
"I have to ask... as a respected Martial King, don't you find this behavior a bit embarrassing?" Woo Zhengyang finally voiced his thoughts when Bing Yue handed him a candied fruit skewer she'd taken a bite of.
"Embarrassing!" Bing Yue gave an unexpected answer.
"Why do it if it's embarrassing?" Woo Zhengyang asked, puzzled.
"Precisely because it's embarrassing, I want to do it. No one here knows me, so it won't get back to the Golden Scale Domain! I've been training since I was a kid and never had a chance to relax. Last time, Huo Dongsheng messed it up, so this time I have to make the most of it. You can't stop me!" Bing Yue warned seriously.
Woo Zhengyang gave her a look, smirking, "Aren't you worried about embarrassing yourself in front of me? I'll definitely tell everyone in the Ice Heart Sect about your antics!"
"Hehe, it's because it's you that I can be so carefree, Mr. Zhengyang. If you want to talk, go ahead. It'd be great if everyone in the Golden Scale Domain knew about our adventures. Then you'd have to take responsibility for me, hehe..."
With that, Bing Yue spotted something interesting and skipped off to try it out, leaving Woo Zhengyang standing there, speechless, staring at the sky...
