Chapter 1861 - 334: The Second Wave

Old Tian came over, bringing his homemade chili sauce, which Aunt Liu accepted.

Li Sanjiang wasn't home, so Old Tian didn't stay for dinner. After glancing at Liu Jinxia who was playing cards on the patio, he left with a chuckle.

This means Old Tian has no knowledge of his young master's current situation.

It's not hard to understand; living here is like he's retired from the Jianghu, just as Xiong Shan would cut off contact with the Jianghu in an effort to avoid past troubles.

Old Tian's only contact is Zhao Yi; as long as Zhao Yi doesn't inform him, he won't know the happenings within the Jianghu.

Lin Shuyou: "It seems the Three-eyed hasn't contacted us nor informed Old Tian." ℯℯ𝑙.

Tan Wenbin corrected: "It's normal for the Outer Team not to inform Old Tian, but not contacting us is unusual."

Lin Shuyou: "Could it be Three-eyed... has been beheaded?"

Tan Wenbin: "That's unlikely."

Lin Shuyou: "Then could he be deliberately withholding information to prove himself?"

Tan Wenbin: "That's even less likely."

Lin Shuyou: "Then..."

Although the Yu Family is a joke now, it's only among the top forces in the Jianghu. Even now, few people or forces can laugh at the Yu Family.

Therefore, this absurd Dragon King's Order is sure to have an effect, as a large number of Jianghu people have surely flooded into Jiujiang, aiming to hunt Zhao Yi.

Li Zhiyuan: "He must be in a state of danger, yet not quite dangerous."

Lin Shuyou: "I see."

Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiao Yuan, you mean Captain Zhao has enough help and allies, so he doesn't need our assistance, and he doesn't want our relationship and existence to be exposed."

Lin Shuyou glanced at Tan Wenbin, wondering if Brother Xiao Yuan had said so much.

Li Zhiyuan: "Mm."

After responding, the young man walked towards the East Room.

"Little Yuanhou, not going out?"

"Little Yuanhou, have you grown taller again?"

Li Zhiyuan gave perfunctory responses to the greetings from the elderly ladies at the card table and entered the East Room.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Bin, are you saying Three-eyed has help now?"

Tan Wenbin: "Yeah, surely there's a large group of people motivated by the Dragon King's Order and the Yu Family's bounty to pursue Zhao Yi. But if you really see him as a wave, would you go after Zhao Yi, even setting aside your relationship with him?"

Lin Shuyou deliberated before shaking his head: "No."

"Why?"

"Because I know the Yu Family is no longer the Dragon King family, so I can't work for them."

"That's because you stand high enough and have comprehensive information. Guess which forces in the Jianghu have access to the same information as us?

As you said earlier, if this is just another wave, would you choose to kill Zhao Yi and take his head to the Yu Family for a reward, angering the Heavenly Dao?

Not killing Zhao Yi, 'capturing' him alive, taking him to the Yu Family, isn't that equivalent to gaining VIP status at the Yu Family?

Those who realize this, and who also possess the strategic mindset, must be the elite of this generation in the Jianghu.

Thus, while many pursue Zhao Yi, there are also some truly strong ones casting olive branches his way, or even actively seeking kinship.

Among these people, many would have been unworthy of playing at the same table solely due to Young Master Zhao's identity from the Jiujiang Zhao family."

Lin Shuyou frowned, a bit indignant:

"Three-eyed is living quite well now?"

Tan Wenbin: "You were just worried about him."

Lin Shuyou: "But he's doing too well."

Tan Wenbin: "I understand."

Li Zhiyuan emerged from the East Room, holding a plaque wrapped in black cloth.

Stopping before Tan Wenbin and the others, the young man said:

"Brother Binbin, I think this Dragon King's Order is the precursor to our next wave, and it involves many and teams."

"But since Zhao Yi hasn't contacted us, we should just act unaware."

"For now, keep up the classes at night and make more contacts outside during the day. There should still be other clues to this wave."

Tan Wenbin: "Yes, I understand. We won't rush."

Li Zhiyuan nodded and went upstairs with the plaque.

Tan Wenbin stretched lazily.

If waves had levels, the wave represented by Zhao Yi is undoubtedly the biggest in the prelude.

Previously, we would have risked contending, but this time, there's no need.

Because no matter what, Zhao Yi will inevitably contact our little Brother Yuan before going to the Yu Family.

This allows us to enjoy a peaceful moment before the great and intense wave strikes.

"That's the advantage of having off-the-record players, let them handle the hard work, and once they're done, we step in."

Flower Woman: "Let's play cards longer tonight, adjourn later."

Wang Lian: "Why, is there an Old Tian you need to avoid at home too?"

Liu Jinxia reached towards Wang Lian's mouth.

Flower Woman: "Oh my, unlike Xiaxou, I'm quite advanced in age, and don't attract the old men."

Liu Jinxia: "Alright then, no more cards, I'm going to find a needle and thread and sew your mouths shut!"

Liu Yumei lifted her teacup with a smile, watching the three elderly ladies act out.

After the ruckus, Flower Woman said: "The power went out at home last night, I need to wait for the village electrician to finish work in town and call him to come over to my house."
