481 The Young Master of Iron Gut Faction (1/2)

The Iron Gut Faction.

Their headquarters was located at the north of Mountain Wangfeng, a peak which shares the same vein of Qi Pulse with Mountain Wolong. While there was a dozen of other factions who were based within that area, their influence was comparable to the Hundred Beasts Faction.

It was eleven at night when Chen Xiaobei arrived outside the building. However, every single light of the faction was turned on and every member seemed animated despite the time – it appeared that something interesting was happening inside.

Xiaoyao and a rather plump person were already waiting for him at the entrance when he arrived.

”Let me introduce you two. This is Chen Xiaobei who I mentioned earlier, and this is Uncle Jinliu – my father's best friend. Let's head inside right now!” Xiaoyao threw a hasty introduction before entering the building – Chen Xiaobei could see a tear mark on her face. He and Uncle Jinliu simply nodded at each other before following her inside.

Most of the faction members seemed to have gathered around the building's arena, which was why there was no one else around the other parts building.

”Tell me. What happened?” Chen Xiaobei asked Xiaoyao as they hurried ahead.

”My dad wanted to join the Iron Gut Faction once we landed in Dragon City,” she replied. ”Everything was fine in the beginning, although we were told that we have to wait for the faction leader to return before we can join the faction. However, everything changed when he did come back…”

”What happened? Did the faction leader changed his mind?” Chen Xiaobei frowned in disgust, while Jinliu suddenly looked rather guilty.

”No, but the faction leader returned with his son – the young master of the Iron Gut Faction. He wanted me to become his wife once he saw me, and told my father to agree before we can join the faction… I just met him once! It's impossible for me to say yes!”

”So, my father decided not to join the faction and we prepared to leave,” she continued. ”However, they wouldn't let us, and said that we can't just simply run away after we came. They then challenged my dad to a fight, and we can't leave if he loses!”

”What the hell?!” Chen Xiaobei said angrily. ”They don't allow you to join or leave?! They are totally messing with you guys; their faces are thicker than concrete walls!”

”It's my fault actually!” Jinliu replied guiltily. ”I was boasting about Xiaoyao being the most beautiful girl in Green Vine City… If not, Hu Gaoyi definitely wouldn't have messed with them…”

”Uncle Jinliu, it's not your fault!” Xiaoyao pursed her lips. ”That degenerate would have met me even if you didn't say that – and it isn't possible to control his decision either. I'm to be blamed for all this – nothing would have happened if I just stayed with Wenyuan. I really shouldn't have clung on my father!”

”No.” Chen Xiaobei cut her self-accusation short. ”You are separated from your father for such a long time, it's only right that you spend time him! If there's anyone to be blame, it's that fucking pervert – he shouldn't force you to marry him. I'll deal with him later, don't worry!”

”Xiaobei… You are so nice…” Xiaoyao was touched.

Jinliu thought it was a bad idea, however. ”Young man, don't risk your life!” he exclaimed. ”Hu Gaoyi is extremely powerful, and they have around two followers… It won't end well for you!”

Clearly, Jinliu thought that he was just another young man. He was not very happy with Chen Xiaobei making such absurd claims, and could not figure out why Xiaoyao would insist on asking him to help them either.

”Uncle Jinliu, don't worry,” Xiaoyao said seriously. ”Xiaobei is really powerful – he has at least six thousand combat power!”
