I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 186 I Wanted to Kill Her Husband and Take Her Wife
Qian Duguan and Bai Qing'er ignored the gazes of the people around them and left in a leisurely manner under the protection of their guards.

Watching their figures walking away, Shen Lang wondered whether he should go and check on Bai Qing'er at night and give her some comfort.

Shang Xiuxun glanced at Shen Lang and said, "Let's go upstairs too."

Shen Lang withdrew his gaze and was about to go upstairs.

Suddenly, I saw chaos on the street next to me, screams and shouts were heard continuously, and pedestrians scattered in all directions.

Looking closely, I saw that two groups of people with different clothes were fighting. There were more than ten people on each side, chasing each other along the street with swords and knives.

Shen Lang protected Queen Xiao and Nanyang behind him.

Shang Xiuxun stopped, stood with his hands behind his back, and watched the bloody fight with great interest.

Xiaojuan suddenly whispered, "Isn't this Qian Duguan's territory? Why are his Xianghan faction members right here at the scene, yet they're just standing by and watching without intervening?"

Shen Lang looked over and indeed found seven or eight burly men in blue tights mixed in with the crowd of onlookers. Not only were they watching from the sidelines, they were also pointing and talking, spitting out their mouths with great delight.

Luo Fang was unsurprised and said, "Nothing surprising. This is Qian Duguan's rule. As long as it doesn't harm his interests, he will remain neutral towards all the struggles and vendettas in the martial arts world. Besides, even if he wanted to intervene, he couldn't do that much."

While they were talking, the winner was decided. The defeated party left behind several corpses and fled into the alley in panic.

The blue-clad men of the Xianghan faction rushed forward and dragged away the corpse.

In the blink of an eye, the streets returned to their previous bustling state. If no one had seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed what had just happened.

At this time, the sounds of stringed instruments, rock-paper-scissors, and drinking could be heard from the brothel opposite Jiaxianglou.

Looking away, I saw that the entrance was crowded with people and it was very lively.

Several burly bodyguards who looked like gangsters were stopping and checking the guests who wanted to enter. I wonder if they should first check whether the guests have enough silver in their pockets.

Shen Lang just took a glance and then asked Queen Xiao and Nanyang to go upstairs.

The entire second-floor lobby was bustling with all kinds of people, except for the large table in the middle of the street-facing window, which was occupied by one person alone.

This man has a tall and strong figure, and just looking at his back can make people feel his imposing and intimidating aura.

Both the waiter and other guests seemed accustomed to the fact that this young master monopolized the table, and did not look at all strange.

Luo Fangding's seat was one of the two tables next to the street-facing windows on the second floor.

As Shen Lang was stepping forward, the man turned around. It was actually Ba Fenghan.

When I saw him, I looked very surprised.

Then Ba Fenghan looked at Shang Xiuxun, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he looked away.

Shen Lang, Shang Xiuxun and others sat down before looking around.

There was a pot of wine and a few side dishes on Ba Fenghan's table, but it looked like none of the dishes had been touched. He was just drinking by himself.

He has the relaxed and contented demeanor of a master.

Shang Xiuxun leaned forward a little and looked back at Ba Fenghan, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt.

Noticing her gaze, Ba Fenghan immediately turned his head away.

In an instant, Xu Yang, Shang He, Shang Zhen and others who were sitting at the same table with her were all chilled by Ba Fenghan's sharp gaze, which was as sharp as if it had substance, and secretly exclaimed that it was very powerful.

I didn't expect to meet such a rare master, so young, but I don't know who he is.

Shang Xiuxun slowly withdrew his gaze, lowered his voice slightly, and asked softly, "Who is this person?"

Shang Zhen and others beside her shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

Shen Lang responded, "He is none other than the famous Ba Fenghan."

"Oh?" Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but look surprised upon hearing this. "So he is the famous Ba Fenghan. I always thought Ba Fenghan would be a big and strong man, but I never thought he would be so masculine and manly."

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "Admittedly, Ba Fenghan can indeed be called a good man, but if compared to me, he is still a little inferior."

Hearing his words, Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said, "Yes, yes, Master Shen, you are the best."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an angry shout from the street: "Ba Fenghan, get downstairs and die!"

This sudden roar was like thunder out of the blue, instantly silencing the originally noisy restaurant.

Although the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, some people could not suppress their curiosity and began to whisper.

One of them whispered, "Is this the nth group of people who have come to challenge Ba Fenghan without knowing their own limitations?"

"I wonder if this is the sixth or seventh batch." Another person echoed, "Several people have died, and yet someone dares to come knocking again? They must be tired of living!"

Someone else said, "I really don't know who is so blind this time and dares to be so bold."

"But there is something exciting to watch."

"Let's go and take a look."

For a time, all kinds of discussions were heard one after another.

Not long after, the whispers quickly disappeared without a trace, and the entire restaurant fell into a dead silence again, where you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's eyes turned to the street below, and they saw four men of varying sizes standing opposite.

Each of them had a ferocious look on their face, with fierce light flashing in their eyes. They were holding various weapons in their hands and were shouting and provoking Ba Fenghan upstairs.

Seeing someone coming to challenge Ba Fenghan, Shang Xiuxun and others were all moved.

Ba Fenghan, a master from the Western Regions, has been constantly challenging famous masters and local tyrants and bullies from all over the country since entering the Central Plains, and has never been defeated.

Even when his enemies gathered together to besiege him, he could still escape calmly, and his story had already become a household name in the martial arts world.

Along with Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Hou Xibai, Yang Xuyan and others, he is regarded as one of the most outstanding masters of the current young generation and has received the highest evaluation.

In the eyes of martial artists, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's reputations barely caught up with Hou Xibai, Yang Xuyan, and Ba Fenghan after they successfully assassinated Ren Shaoming, but only the combined reputations of the two of them counted. Unlike the other three, they were not considered to be masters who could stand on their own.

But above these people, there is Shen Lang.

Because he single-handedly resolved the confrontation between Ba Fenghan and Ouyang Xiyi.

So these few people combined are enough to match him.

The four people who challenged us were all dressed in black, around 30 or 40 years old. The tall one was holding a pair of hooks, and the other three were using knives. They had fierce faces and it was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.

"Which sect is this from?" Shen Lang asked casually.

Although he has a reputation in the underworld, he is not very clear about these underworld forces.

Luo Fang whispered, "Did Shen Lang see the plum blossom emblem embroidered on their collars? These four are the leaders of the Plum Blossom Sect. Along with the leader, Gu Le, they are known as the Plum Blossom Five Evils. They have over a hundred men under their command, specializing in robbery and committing all sorts of evil. I heard the leader was killed, so they might be here for this matter."

After he finished speaking, the tall man who had challenged him from downstairs shouted, "Ba, little thief, get down here! My big brother's blood debt must be repaid with your own blood."

"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed." Shen Lang gave Luo Fang a thumbs up.

Luo Fang felt flattered and greatly appreciated his praise.

Ba Fenghan calmly picked up the pot and poured wine, not even glancing at the Plum Blossom Four Evils downstairs. He smiled and said, "What qualifications do you have to ask me to get down here? Your boss was killed by me in less than three moves. I'd be surprised if you could even withstand one move."

The words just finished.

There was a loud shout from downstairs, like a thunderclap out of nowhere, and one of them rushed up the stairs.

Ba Fenghan ignored him, turned his head, raised his glass and saluted Shang Xiuxun with a smile.

Then he snorted coldly, and his left hand holding the cup moved extremely quickly. The wine in the cup immediately turned into a wine arrow, shooting towards the enemy who was about to jump up the stairs as fast as lightning.

As the man's feet left the ground and his shouting had not yet stopped, the wine arrow had already shot accurately into his mouth.

The man's whole body shook violently, blood gushed out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and he fell backwards with his mouth wide open, dying on the spot.

Everyone on the second floor stood up and cheered like thunder.

It was the first time that people had witnessed someone using wine to turn arrows into killing people, and the person killed was a bully who was rampant in the area.

Everyone at Pegasus Ranch was also shocked.

Only Shen Lang continued to drink tea as if nothing had happened.

The remaining three people from the Plum Blossom Gate were horrified and all their fierceness disappeared. They lifted the body of the deceased and immediately ran away in panic, looking extremely embarrassed, which caused the onlookers watching on the street above to burst into mocking laughter.

Ba Fenghan continued drinking as if he had done the most insignificant thing, and the restaurant soon returned to its previous state as if nothing had ever happened.

Someone whispered, "Is this the seventh group of idiots who want to die? They're lucky today. Those guys came in this morning with such impressive fanfare, but not a single one of them left alive."

"This young man is really amazing. He can actually kill people with just alcohol."

"That's right. But then again, if you weren't so powerful, you wouldn't be challenging people everywhere." "Come on, let's have some drinks. No more talk. Trouble comes from the mouth."

After a while, the waiter brought the wine and food to Shang Xiuxun's table.

Shang Xiuxun seemed to be thinking about the problems ahead. She just picked up a few pieces of food with her chopsticks and then put them down.

The two old guys, Shang Peng and Shang He, looked at Ba Fenghan from time to time.

Suddenly, someone on the stairs said, "I want those two tables!"

The waiter said in astonishment, "But we just served the food, and the customers haven't even left yet!"

"They're leaving soon!" said a woman.

Then footsteps came up behind Shen Lang, and he shouted, "We have requisitioned these two tables, hurry up!"

Everyone at Pegasus Ranch obviously knew who the visitor was. Except for the two old guys Shang Xiuxun and Peng He, everyone else looked nervous and alert.

Without even turning his head, Shen Lang asked, "If you want these two tables, tell me your names."

Shang Peng and Shang He looked at each other, then looked at Shang Xiuxun.

Shang Xiuxun shook her head secretly.

The person behind him said coldly, "I am Chang Shumou, a disciple of Tiele 'Flying Eagle' Qu Ao. This is my junior sister Hua Lingzi and junior brother Geng Ge Huer. Who are you, kid? I'm not talking to you."

After hearing him introduce himself, the guests at the two tables behind Shen Lang immediately ran away in fear.

Ba Fenghan suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Are all the disciples taught by Qu Ao so domineering?"

Chang Shumou and his companions came to a table behind Shen Lang and sat down with their backs to the window. The other masters took their seats one after another.

After his companions were seated, Chang Shumou finally replied, "I, Chang Shumou, have heard of Brother Ba's great name since I was in my country. I have always admired him and longed for the opportunity to learn from him. I wonder if Brother Ba is free these two days? Why don't we pick a time and place to get together?"

Ba Fenghan drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and threw it on the ground between him and Chang Shumou.

"Clang!"

The porcelain cup broke into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

Ba Fenghan had a calm and composed expression on his face, and said slowly, "In my opinion, it's better to do it now than to wait for a day. I will be leaving this city tomorrow, and now is a good time to see how much of Qu Ao's teachings my uncle has inherited."

As soon as he said this, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and the originally noisy restaurant suddenly became silent.

Everyone put down their chopsticks, and hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Chang Shumou, waiting to see a good show.

When Gengge Huer and Hua Lingzi heard this, their faces suddenly changed. They both stood up with their eyes wide open, ready to explode.

Just as they were about to take action, Chang Shumou waved his hand gently, signaling the two to be patient for the time being.

Immediately afterwards, Chang Shumou suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter.

The laughter was like a loud thunderclap, shaking the roof tiles and making the ears of those who had little martial arts skills present ring. Some even covered their ears in pain, with looks of horror on their faces.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden laughter, and secretly marveled in their hearts that this person's internal and external strength had been cultivated to such a superb level.

The laughter stopped as abruptly as it had begun.

At this moment, the white robe on Chang Shumou's body was fluttering in the wind, and a cold murderous aura was emanating from his body, which was chilling.

But strangely, a gentle smile appeared on his face. He slowly shook his head and sighed, "It's rare that Brother Ba is so interested. But unfortunately, I am currently burdened with heavy responsibilities and many things. I wonder if Brother Ba could be magnanimous and wait for a while?"

After saying that, he turned to look at the waiter who was already frightened and at a loss, and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and prepare two more tables of the same dishes that our friends at Pegasus Ranch ordered! Go!"

The waiter seemed to wake up from a dream, nodded hurriedly, and then ran to the kitchen in a panic.

Shang Xiuxun cast her gaze inconspicuously down the street and was startled.

The originally bustling and crowded wide avenue suddenly became silent as if it had been cast under a spell, like a dead city.

Those bustling shops had closed their doors one after another, and the streets were empty, with not a single person in sight.

She understood instantly that Zhang Shumou's action against Pegasus Ranch must have been approved by Qian Duguan!

Thinking of this, Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but take a breath and a chill ran through his heart.

She quickly turned her head to look at Shang He, Shang Peng and others beside her, and quickly gestured with her hands to fight and retreat.

At the same time, he lowered his voice and said to Shen Lang beside him, "It seems that Qian Duguan has learned of our whereabouts and tacitly allowed these guys to come and find trouble with us."

Shen Lang nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Shang Xiuxun's opinion, and replied softly, "I've noticed that too, but don't panic, I'm here."

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to show Bai Qing'er some warmth and care, but he never expected to encounter such a thing.

Since Qian Duguan colluded with these villains from Tiele and attempted to harm Shang Xiuxun, he might as well solve the matter together.

I couldn't help but think to myself: Wonderful, wonderful! I have long wanted to kill the husband and take the wife, steal her wealth and live in her house.

After hearing what Shen Lang said, Shang Xiuxun's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little, and her nervousness was relieved a lot.

It feels really good to have someone you can rely on and who can stand up and protect you...

Ba Fenghan suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter. His laughter echoed all around, attracting the attention of people around him.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, smiled at Chang Shumou in front of him and said: "Brother Chang Shu, it seems that our intimacy will be delayed for some time."

Hearing this, Chang Shumou frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appearing on his face. He asked, "Oh? Why is that? Could it be that Brother Ba thinks I'm not worthy of being your opponent?"

Ba Fenghan shook his head slightly, his eyes slowly sweeping over Chang Shumou, and he said slowly: "That's not the case, it's just that you, Chang Shu, seem to have accidentally provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked."

After saying this, he stopped talking and just drank quietly, as if everything around him no longer had anything to do with him.

When Chang Shumou heard this, he was shocked and his face became solemn in an instant.

He really couldn't figure out when and where he had offended such a powerful person.

Just as he was about to ask, Ba Fenghan suddenly turned his head and looked in another direction, calling out, "Brother Shen, long time no see. I wonder how you've been lately?"

As soon as the word "Brother Shen" came out, the originally quiet scene was immediately filled with light discussions.

Although most of the people present had never seen Shen Lang's appearance with their own eyes, at this moment, everyone guessed almost at the same time that the man called "Brother Shen" by Ba Fenghan was the one who had previously stopped Ba Fenghan and Ouyang Xiyi from dueling.

Otherwise, considering Ba Fenghan's usually aloof and arrogant personality, how could he be so polite to this person if he didn't have such extraordinary qualities?
So, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Lang's direction at the same time. They were all full of curiosity and couldn't wait to see what the person who could make Ba Fenghan look at him differently looked like.

Shang Xiuxun was secretly delighted, and there was tenderness in her eyes.

Shen Lang replied calmly, "Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine with me. I eat well and sleep well every day."

His tone was as calm as water, without any trace of emotion.

Ba Fenghan said, "Brother Shen's face is glowing, and he seems to be doing well. But these people seem to be coming for you. I wonder if Brother Shen wants to take action?"

"You know me. I don't like to cause trouble, but since trouble has come to me, I have no choice but to accept it." Shen Lang slowly turned around and said, "Geng Ge Hu'er, Hua Lingzi, have you recovered from your injuries so quickly?"

Hua Lingzi and Geng Gehuer behind him were shocked when they saw his appearance clearly and stared at him in disbelief.

The other Tiele warriors also looked at him in horror.

Because they had met Shen Lang on the night Shen Lang rescued Kan Kan, and Gengge Huer and Hua Lingzi had even fought with him.

But they were all defeated by him.

The two of them hurriedly communicated with Chang Shumou in Tiele language, and after a while they chatted in a mess.

Chang Shumou's face was also full of disbelief.

Then Hua Lingzi smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really an honor. Today we must ask you for some advice."

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her jade hand lightly, and two cold lights instantly slipped out from her sleeves and fell steadily into her hands - they were actually two extremely sharp short blades.

Ba Fenghan suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

In one sentence, the tense atmosphere was temporarily suppressed.

Gengge Huer had long disliked Ba Fenghan. When he heard him speak, he sneered, "Brother Ba, you're not here to meddle in other people's business, are you?"

Ba Fenghan was about to answer.

Shen Lang has already spoken: "Chang Shumou, Gengge Huer, Hua Lingzi, the three of you come together, why should I, Shen Lang, be afraid?"

The expressions of Chang Shumou and the other two suddenly changed slightly.

They had never expected that Shen Lang would be so arrogant as to challenge the three of them together by himself.

Shen Lang said again: "Hurry up, the fight is over, I still need to eat."
