Chapter 57 Junior Brother Jiang, I know you're a good person
Meanwhile, Liu Cheng, seeing Jiang Yong return, was preparing to continue his mission to Camel Peak.
Just then, Tang Chao suddenly sent a telepathic message: "Junior Brother Liu, there are Qingyun Sect cultivators near our White Tiger Sect's base. You'd better come back quickly!"
"Damn it! We've already gone halfway and they're telling us to go back!" Liu Cheng cursed.
"What happened, Senior Brother Liu?" Jiang Yong asked with concern.
"Senior Brother Tang, you sent us a telepathic message telling us to go back!" Liu Cheng told Jiang Yong about Tang Chao's telepathic message.
"So we're not going to Camel Peak?" Jiang Yong asked.
"That guy Tang Chao told us to go straight back. We've worked so hard all morning, traveling such a long way, and we haven't even finished our business, and he's sending us back like monkeys! Isn't he just making a fool of us?" Liu Cheng said angrily.
"Hey, Senior Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense! That's Senior Brother Tang!" Jiang Yong quickly advised.
"I call that guy surnamed Tang 'senior brother' out of respect. Now that I've reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, it's not too much to call him 'Junior Brother Tang'!" Liu Cheng said indignantly.
"Hey, Senior Brother Liu, stop talking nonsense. After all, all of us White Tiger Sect cultivators listen to Senior Brother Tang. If you offend him, you'll definitely suffer the consequences," Jiang Yong patiently advised again.
“We all listen to him. That guy surnamed Tang is unfair in his rewards and punishments, and many brothers resent him, but they can only swallow their anger because they are not strong enough,” Liu Cheng continued.
"Many people harbor resentment towards Senior Brother Tang? No way, I think Senior Brother Tang treats everyone quite well!" Jiang Yong asked, puzzled.
"Is it good? You're new here, you don't understand. That's just talk. When it comes to dividing the profits, he'll take it all."
"No way? You're kidding, right? Senior Brother Tang isn't that kind of person, is he?" Jiang Yong certainly wouldn't believe Liu Cheng's words so easily.
"Take Chen Bin, the one who besieged the Qingyun Sect last time, for example. I put in a lot of effort, and I even broke more than a dozen magic weapons. And what was the result? He was killed, and the mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Thick Earth Rock-Slaying Blade, was taken by that guy surnamed Tang!" Liu Cheng said indignantly.
"Then Senior Brother Tang must have put in a lot of effort too, right?"
"What sacrifice? It was all thanks to everyone's hard work. He ended up reaping the rewards. Okay, enough said, let's go back! We might get yelled at again if we go back late!"
"By the way, don't talk nonsense when you get back!" Liu Cheng added.
"understood!"
Jiang Yong hadn't expected Liu Cheng and the others to have such a strong opinion against Tang Chao. However, he didn't dare to easily believe Liu Cheng's words and decided to continue observing secretly.
Some time later, Liu Cheng returned to the camp with Jiang Yong and the other White Tiger Sect cultivators who had gone on the mission together. After disbanding the team, he only took Jiang Yong and Tang Chao to report the situation.
As soon as he entered, he heard Tang Chao angrily shout, "Liu Cheng, we told you to come back and deal with the Qingyun Sect cultivators near the camp. We've already taken care of them, and you're only just getting back. Were you slacking off on the way here again?"
Liu Cheng couldn't hold back any longer. He had gone all that way early in the morning, only to be called back halfway through, and then immediately berated. He angrily said, "You, surnamed Tang, don't you know we went out on a mission and were called back halfway through? And now you're cursing us as soon as we get back? Are you even human?"
When Jiang Yong heard Liu Cheng start cursing, he was shocked and rushed over to pull Liu Cheng away and try to break up the fight.
Upon hearing Liu Cheng's angry outburst, Tang Chao immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shouting, "Liu Cheng, you brat! Now that your cultivation is higher, you don't give me, Tang, any face anymore! You don't even call me 'senior brother' anymore, and you can't even stand being told what to do?"
"Hey Tang, I called you senior brother before out of respect, but now, hmph, your strength might not be as good as mine, shouldn't you call me senior brother?" Liu Cheng said arrogantly.
"Liu Cheng! You want to fight, huh? Come on, let's go outside and have a match!" Tang Chao naturally wasn't going to tolerate Liu Cheng, and said that he was going to go outside and have a match.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaobai knew the atmosphere had reached a breaking point, so he immediately ran over to persuade Tang Chao, saying, "Hey, Senior Brother Tang, we're all fellow disciples, don't be like this. Junior Brother Liu has been running around all day and he's worked hard, so say less!" Then he gave Jiang Yong a look, signaling him to take Liu Cheng out.
Seeing Liu Cheng and Tang Chao arguing so fiercely they were about to fight, Jiang Yong initially wanted to watch them both die a bloody battle so the Qingyun Sect could reap the benefits. However, seeing Ye Xiaobai desperately trying to signal him, he couldn't let them actually fight, so he could only forcefully drag Liu Cheng away.
A moment later, Jiang Yong took Liu Cheng out.
When only Ye Xiaobai and Tang Chao remained, Tang Chao jokingly said, "Senior Brother Ye, do you really want me and Junior Brother Liu to fight? We're about to draw our swords against each other, and you're only now trying to stop us!"
"Hahahaha, Senior Brother Tang, I actually wanted to see what it would be like to see the Golden Saber Madman of the Four Qi Refining Fiends fight the Gentle Breeze Sword Master," Ye Xiaobai said with a hearty laugh.
"You're a wicked little devil."
"However, Jiang Yong should believe quite a bit by now, right?" Tang Chao said seriously, his smile fading.
"It should be just one kick away from being done. It all depends on Liu Cheng's performance tonight," Ye Xiaobai said with a mischievous grin.
……
That night, Liu Cheng drank alone in his resting place, feeling depressed.
"Senior Brother Liu, are you there? It's me, Jiang Yong." Jiang Yong's voice came from outside the door.
"come in!"
Seeing Liu Cheng drinking alone, Jiang Yong first pretended to advise him, saying, "Senior Brother Liu, drink less. Drinking too much of this spirit wine will harm your health!"
"Junior Brother Jiang, are you going to tell me what to do about drinking too?" Liu Cheng said sadly, after all, he was upset because Tang Chao had scolded him today.
"Alright, I won't try to persuade you anymore. Today, I, Jiang, will drink with Senior Brother Liu until we're completely drunk!" Jiang Yong declared magnanimously.
"That's more like it!" Liu Cheng laughed, his face full of drunkenness.
After finishing his sentence, Jiang Yong drank another cup of spirit wine. Not daring to be negligent, he also drank it.
After a few drinks, Liu Cheng was already quite drunk. He then pulled Jiang Yong aside and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, I know you're a good person. You've only been here a few days, but you've already given me a lot of Qi Refining Pills. Unlike that guy surnamed Tang, I worked myself to the bone, but in the end, I still got a lot of abuse!"
"Hey, stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Yong quickly said.
"I'm not drunk, I can still drink. If it weren't for that guy surnamed Tang having a mid-grade spiritual weapon, I, Liu, might not have been able to beat him!" Liu Cheng said, picking up his wine cup again and drinking it all in one gulp.
"If only I could have a mid-grade spiritual weapon!" Liu Cheng said, then collapsed onto the table and fell fast asleep.
"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Liu?" Jiang Yong shook Liu Cheng's shoulder and called out.
Liu Cheng, however, remained motionless, sleeping like a dead pig, without any response.
Jiang Yong confirmed that Liu Cheng was drunk and went back.
After leaving the White Tiger Sect's territory, he found a secluded spot, took out a communication talisman, and sent a message: "The Wind Swordsman Liu Cheng and the Golden Saber Madman Tang Chao are at odds; perhaps they can be turned against each other!"
A message came from the other side shortly afterward: "Try your best to turn them to the side!"
