573 Entering The Ancient Jungle (1/2)
Everyone exited the helicopter. Soon, they started to form groups based on their factions. Among the crowd, Yuntao Faction had the highest number of disciples – around thirty. Other group consisted of around ten people. In the end, Chen Xiaobei and Yap Liangchen were left alone.
”Master Yap!”
Suddenly, a young man shouted. There were ten people following behind him.
”Du Qiuyu! You are here as well!”
A smile appeared on Yap Liangchen's face when he looked at the person. He then used a soft tone to explained to Chen Xiaobei.
”He is the young master of a lowly faction in Jianghu and he used to be my brother in debauchery.”
Without saying anything, Chen Xiaobei nodded his head.
”Master Yap, you are here with this elder? Join my team! Let's work together to make sure that we have each other backs!”
”This…”
”Stop the hesitation. Considering our friendship, please don't tell me that you are going to reject my offer!”
Immediately, Du Qiuyu placed his arms on Yap Liangchen's shoulder. It seemed like they were rather close. Their action attracted the attention of Jianghu folks around them. Upon seeing this, Chen Xiaobei nodded at Yap Liangchen subtly. Trouble might come to them if Yap Liangchen rejected Du Qiuyu in front of everyone.
With a smile on his face, Yap Liangchen immediately understood Chen Xiaobei's intention.
”How is it possible that I will reject your offer? From this second onwards, Elder Bei and I are going to allow you to guide us!”
”Well said! Well said! Oh right, may I know who Elder Bei is?”
Immediately, everyone included Bi Yuntao and Zhuang Yuejin straightened up their ears as they wanted to know Chen Xiaobei's true identity. On the surface, Chen Xiaobei looked really old. One should know that most of the elders in Jianghu were some kind of super elites. Naturally, Chen Xiaobei became the center of attention.
”There must be some misunderstanding here. I'm no elite. I'm just a doctor.”
”What? Doctor?”
”I thought you were some kind of elite! I wanted to lick your boots earlier! Knowing that you are just a doctor ruins my day!”
Upon hearing Chen Xiaobei claim that he was just a doctor, Du Qiuyu's attitude changed faster than flipping a book from one page to the other page. All the other ten followers in his group were equally disappointed as well. The sound of laughter could be heard from other groups. Seeing this as a joke, all of them went and minded their own business.
This was the reality. Everyone would have tried boot-licking him if he introduced himself as a Jianghu elite. However, they lost interest in him after knowing that he was just a doctor. They did not even bother to turn around to look at him.
”Old man! How old are you? Where did you find the guts to enter Mount Gloomy Tiger? This is an ancient jungle where you don't normally see people entering a place like this! Aren't you afraid of dying here?” A short and fat man from the group asked mockingly.
”That's right! You should just get the hell back to the helicopter and wait for us to return! You are going to slow us down if you come with us! Nobody will care about you if you died in this jungle!”
Another thin man glared at Chen Xiaobei with a look of contempt.
”Hands off! I will only travel with Elder Bei! We will travel by ourselves if you don't welcome us!” Immediately, Yap Liangchen declared in a cold tone while shaking off Du Qiuyu's hands.
After putting some thought into it, it was not necessary to offend Yap Liangchen because of a doctor. He then said a deep tone, ”Fat Bear and Bamboo Snake! Watch your tone when you talk to the doctor! Apologize to Master Yap now! We are about to enter the jungle!”
With an unwilling look on their faces, both of them said, ”Master Yap, we are so sorry.”
