Chapter 431 - How Brave Of You
They had not met for a year but ‘Black Bear’ still recognised Shao Xuan. Plus, Maoda had already sent people to enter the city and report to him before they arrived.
“Hahaha, long time no see, Brother Shao Xuan.” Black Bear took huge steps forward and slapped Shao Xuan’s shoulder with his fan-like hand. This was a habit of their tribe to express passion and welcome.
A regular person would’ve broken a bone or winced in pain.
Shao Xuan’s expression did not change, returning the favour.
When Shao Xuan’s palm landed on Black Bear, his expression hardened but he quickly recovered. However, the ‘passion’ was no longer there as he brought Shao Xuan and Guang Yi back into the house and arranged for rooms for them. They often had guests so they had specialised guest rooms.
Maoda told Black Bear about Shao Xuan’s reason for coming to King City.
“You’re looking for Golden Grain, Ji Ju?” Black Bear thought for a moment. “Ji Ju hasn’t appeared in King City in a while but according to my sources, Ji Ju seems to be planting something good again. He has spent a long time on it since last year, living in the shed he has outside the city. No one could visit him. Shao Xuan, it might be difficult for you to meet Ji Ju.”
Shao Xuan saw the curtain on the carriage move and a feminine voice rang, “What happened?!”
The tone was piercing. The curtain was pulled open and a young lady clad in a pure white dress hopped out. Perhaps due to the incident, her hair was a little messy.
This lady eyed Shao Xuan and the other two and spat with hatred, “How brave of you!”
Black Bear blew the dust off his knife, almost laughing at this. He never offended people for no reason- unless they insulted him first. He was the mighty leader of the Black Bears, the chief of a tribe. If someone yelled ‘get the hell out of the way’, and he obeyed, how would anyone respect the Black Bears in the future? ‘Face’ was a two-way trade. If you didn’t give me face, why should I?
The royal family of the great six? I don’t care! A mistake? I don’t care! Brave? I have always been brave!
Black Bear had no intentions to move. He stood his ground.
The guards around the lady wanted to say something several times but this was not their place to speak. Then again, with her temperament, she wouldn’t listen.
