Chapter 1365 - Chapter 1365 Chapter 1164 Cold War_1
Chapter 1365: Chapter 1164 Cold War_1 Chapter 1365: Chapter 1164 Cold War_1 When they were almost at Yupo Prefecture, Yang Ye received a message from Tong Sanlang, stating that the Zhang Family had been rescued, but an enormously powerful Tianlong Gang had mysteriously appeared, advising him to muster more manpower to surround and annihilate them.
That name, Tianlong Gang, really irked Yang Ye.
What was even more irritating was the might of the Tianlong Gang–they had stealthily grown to ten thousand members, including over a thousand experts, and what was more important was that they also possessed exceedingly profound Martial Arts techniques.
Developing to such an extent on Daqi’s territory, this was a blatant slap in the face of the Yang Family. Were all the scouts blind!
While fuming with anger, he ordered his people to hurry ahead to Yupo Prefecture to gather the local garrison and wait for his command.
Tong Sanlang didn’t mention his injury in the letter, so Yang Ye and Qiao Xiaomai thought he was unharmed. Both let out a sigh of relief.
Yang Ye looked at Qiao Xiaomai with a grin, “You should be relieved now, right?”
Qiao Xiaomai silently nodded.
“Then how about we make something delicious to celebrate?” Yang Ye suggested.
Because they were in a rush to travel, all they had eaten along the way was dry food, only cooking when they made camp at night.
However, those meals were all prepared by the cooks, and Qiao Xiaomai had not once approached the stove.
Such harsh conditions had not arisen even during last year’s tour of Daqi. To be precise, Yang Ye had lived for over twenty years, and this was the first time he had experienced such hardship.
It was suffocating him.
Now that the alarm was lifted, his first thought was to have Qiao Xiaomai get to work.
“What do you want to eat?” asked Qiao Xiaomai.
“You decide. I’m not picky right now,” Yang Ye said, no longer choosy about his food.
Qiao Xiaomai cooked a big pot of shredded meat noodles.
Yang Ye ate with great relish, repeatedly giving Qiao Xiaomai a thumbs-up, “Have you really not considered taking on disciples?”
He might not be able to reach Qiao Xiaomai, but he surely could get a disciple of Qiao Xiaomai into the Prefecture City.
“I’m not taking any,” Qiao Xiaomai shook her head, refusing bluntly.
“Why not? With your skills, you should pass them down from generation to generation!” Yang Ye couldn’t help but raise his voice.
“I don’t want to teach,” Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes, “I just want to let my skills become a swan song, a legend.”
Yang Ye, “…You’re too much!”
He couldn’t help but slam the table as he spoke, “Such selfish thinking!”
“I was never a selfless person to begin with,” Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips, decisively pushing the bowl away and standing up,”I’m full.”
Leaving those words behind, she went straight back to her own tent.
Yang Ye “…”
He pursed his lips, wanting to slam the table again, look at that temper, rationalizing not taking disciples!
Acting lawlessly just because she had skills, detestable!
Well, he wouldn’t pay her any attention either!
So, the two of them began a cold war, not even making eye contact for two straight days.
Under this tension, the entire team’s atmosphere grew suppressive, everyone treading lightly for fear of being a scapegoat for their wrath.
In the midst of this cold war, the caravan reached Prefecture City in Yuhu, where the local military commander Niu Dacheng was already waiting.
