Chapter 3957 Suspicious Behavior

After my tirade, several people in white Zhongshan suits next to me couldn't help but burst out laughing. Old Dong really wanted to laugh, but he held it in, which was quite uncomfortable. In the end, he couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a pig-like squeal.

Only Tang Shangning remained calm, looking up at the sky as if he hadn't heard anything.

Having been humiliated in front of so many people, Jin Xingyuan could not tolerate it and immediately shouted angrily, "You have no manners and don't know any rules. Don't think that just because Minister Tang is here, I, Old Jin, won't dare to deal with you."

"Oh dear, I'm so scared! You try it... Gentlemen, come and take a look! A top expert from Yanbei, a remnant of the Qing Dynasty, almost two hundred years old, bullying a young man in his twenties like me, and even saying he's going to hit me! Everyone, please be the judge..." I shouted at the top of my lungs, which immediately attracted a lot of attention to look in our direction.

Now Jin Xingyuan was even more embarrassed, and the magic sword on his body immediately hummed and floated directly above his head.

"I'll kill you!" Jin Xingyuan shouted, aiming his sword at me, ready to shoot it at me.

I quickly hid behind Tang Shangning; I didn't believe he would dare to lay a hand on Tang Shangning.

"Old Jin, stop fooling around. Don't you know what kind of occasion this is? Aren't you ashamed?" Tang Shangning said sternly, looking at Jin Xingyuan.

"Minister Tang, this kid is going too far! This is outrageous!" Jin Xingyuan said, his face turning ashen with anger.

"Alright, alright, why did you provoke him for no reason? You know you're no match for him in a verbal battle, yet you're still making a fool of yourself. Go on with your work." Tang Shangning waved his hand at Jin Xingyuan.

Jin Xingyuan was truly helpless against me. Enraged, he stomped his foot, sheathed his magic sword, and glared at me fiercely: "You just wait, kid. Don't fall into my hands, or you'll suffer!"

"Look at you, you're angry again. I was just joking with you, and you took it seriously again. You're so petty." I added insult to injury.

This made Jin Xingyuan so angry that he almost vomited blood. He stomped his foot, turned around and quickly left, his fur standing on end in anger.

I saw the deep footprint he left on the hard cement floor when he stomped, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards. He must have mistaken the ground for me, and he could only vent his anger on the cement.

As soon as Jin Xingyuan left, Tang Shangning kicked me in the butt: "Are you bored? Why do you keep provoking him?"

"Uncle Tang, didn't you see? He spoke to me first. Can't I even talk back?" I was very indignant.

“You better be polite to him, kid. If he really finds an opportunity, you’re dead.” Tang Shangning glared at me.

"It doesn't matter. Even if I don't offend him this time, he'll find a chance to get back at me later. Our feud isn't something that's only been going on for a year or two." I waved my hand dismissively.

While they were talking to Tang Shangning, Kassan suddenly walked over with a group of people.

Except for Zhang Qing'an, everyone else gathered together.

Zhang Qing'an has a long journey, so he will definitely be the last to arrive.

However, the slovenly Taoist priest took a few steps toward us, and when he saw Tang Shangning and several people in white Zhongshan suits standing next to me, his expression immediately changed. He waved his hand at Chi Lang and Brother Gu behind him and said, "Let's go. We were tricked by Wu Laoliu. There's no profit in it. He's just making us do hard labor."

After saying that, the slovenly Taoist priest turned and left. The group of people behind him did not hesitate at all and followed him out of the Special Investigation Team.

"Stop!" Tang Shangning turned around and looked at them.

At this shout, the slovenly Taoist priest ran even faster. However, Elder Dong and Elder Wang suddenly appeared and blocked the path of the slovenly Taoist priest and his companion.

"Little Luo, what's the rush? Minister Tang has something to say to you." Old Dong smiled and looked at the disheveled Taoist priest.

The disheveled Taoist priest instantly changed his expression and led Kassan and the others to Tang Shangning's side at a trot: "Uncle Tang, oh dear, I didn't see you just now, what are you doing here?"

"Don't talk nonsense. If there's no profit in it, I won't be able to hire you, right?" Tang Shangning looked at the slovenly Taoist priest with a stern face.

The disheveled Taoist priest immediately began to complain: "Uncle Tang, you've really wronged me. As you know, we went to the Philippines not long ago and fought with the people from the Crimson Shadow Sanctuary. You have no idea how strong the leader and the Blood Priest are. We were all injured and suffered very serious internal injuries. We haven't recovered yet, and we almost didn't get to see you again. It's not that we didn't want to help, but in our current state, we were afraid we would just be a burden to the Special Investigation Team."

"One gold talisman and ten invisibility talismans for each person, are you in or not?" Tang Shangning got straight to the point.

"Let's do it! This is the kind of work that's dangerous, Uncle Tang, who do you want us to do?" The slovenly Taoist priest patted his chest, his shameless appearance making me want to vomit in his face.

"Is your injury fully healed now?" Tang Shangning looked the disheveled Taoist up and down.

"Uncle Tang, what are you saying? Even if we only have one breath left, we will still eliminate demons and uphold justice, daring to be the first in the world." This time, the slovenly Taoist priest shouted out the slogan of Ta Yun Mountain.

"Let's wait for the arrangements." Tang Shangning rolled her eyes at the slovenly Taoist priest, then turned and left with several members of the special investigation team.

As soon as Tang Shangning left, I walked over to the slovenly Taoist priest and said, "Old Luo is quite something, he even managed to squeeze some money out of Old Tang, that tightwad."

"Old Wu, you're still very green. You'd better learn more. All your skills were learned from me." The slovenly Taoist priest said with a smug look on his face.

“Yes, we were corrupted by Brother Luo,” Kassan added instantly.

"Little Jie, judging by this huge commotion, are the people from Yiguandao up to something again?" Brother Gu looked around, and finally his gaze fell on me.

"It really is Brother Gu. I had no choice. Old Tang asked me to invite you over, and it's very likely that Liu Hao will also be there this time," I said seriously.

Upon hearing the name Liu Hao, everyone's expression darkened, even the usually composed Yuan Kong frowned slightly.

I reckon that the first person in the world to make Yuan Kong want to kill him was Liu Hao.

"Nothing else matters. As long as Liu Hao appears, our trip won't have been in vain. This time, as long as we see him, we will spare no effort to keep his life here and avenge Zen Master Jueming," Brother Gu said indignantly.

Just then, a member of the Special Investigation Team suddenly walked towards us and said to a few people in white Zhongshan suits not far away, "There's an old man loitering around the Special Investigation Team's entrance, acting suspiciously, and he's a very powerful cultivator. Should we take him into custody?"
