Upon noticing the unusual behavior of Wang Tiankuang, the young man furrowed his brows, and his previously warm expression instantly turned cold as he said, "What? Does Sky Mad Second Master want to make a move here?"
Hearing the cold words from the former, Wang Tiankuang instinctively looked around and saw a group of mountain bandits with fierce eyes, all gripping their weapons tightly, baring their teeth as if they wanted to devour him alive.
The energy around him suddenly dissipated, and Wang Tiankuang quickly understood his predicament. He comforted himself in his heart, saying, "A true man can bend and stretch; a hero does not suffer immediate losses!"
"Hehe, Fourth Seat is joking. I was just reminded of the hateful nature of the Cold Family, which made me angry. Please do not misunderstand, Fourth Seat," Wang Tiankuang said while bowing and clasping his hands in a flattering tone.
"Haha, Sky Mad Second Master, I was just joking with you; please don't take it seriously," Windwalker Young Master said, his demeanor shifting rapidly. In the blink of an eye, his expression became warm again.
Wang Tiankuang frowned deeply, feeling that this person was just like Wang Weiyang; even when smiling warmly, it made one feel an involuntary chill from the heart.
However, he did not dare to show any obvious signs of discomfort. Instead, he laughed heartily and said, "Fourth Seat is humorous; it is truly a privilege for me to conspire with you."
"Well said! Sky Mad Second Master, please!" Windwalker Young Master waved his hand and then extended his arm in a gesture of invitation, displaying great humility.
"After you, Fourth Seat!" Wang Tiankuang returned the courtesy.
"Hehe, let’s go together!" Windwalker Young Master reached out to link arms with Wang Tiankuang and led him towards Black Wind Stronghold.
This action from Windwalker Young Master sent a shiver down Wang Tiankuang's spine. He thought to himself in shock, "Could this guy be...?"
Recalling the previous behavior of Fifth Leader Black Maitreya, he felt an inexplicable sense of disgust towards the people of Black Wind Stronghold. Initially impressed by Windwalker Young Master's handsome appearance, his feelings had slightly changed. However, being linked arm-in-arm while riding on a tiger completely eradicated any remaining goodwill.
Instinctively withdrawing his arm, Wang Tiankuang smiled awkwardly and said, "Fourth Seat, please go ahead."
"Oh?" The Windwalker Young Master, rejected by Wang Tiankuang, let out a light gasp, paused for a moment, and chuckled, "Do you perhaps look down on me, Sky Mad Second Master?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Wang Tiankuang waved his hands repeatedly.
"Haha, so it seems that Sky Mad Second Master is keeping himself pure?" The Windwalker Young Master's tone was somewhat displeased.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tiankuang confirmed the Windwalker Young Master's unusual orientation and inwardly cursed his bad luck. He thought to himself, "What kind of place is this? What kind of people are these! Damn it, my luck is really terrible! I actually have to associate with them! If I had known earlier, I would have just dealt with Ye Tian!"
"Fourth Seat, I really have no interest in men..." Wang Tiankuang said helplessly. At this point, there was no need to find other excuses; it was best to refuse directly.
After saying this, although Wang Tiankuang was angry inside, he could only cautiously watch the other party's reaction, preparing for an outburst because this statement would surely offend the Windwalker Young Master.
"Haha, well then, compared to those fair-skinned and tender young ladies, I truly cannot catch the eye of Sky Mad Second Master." The Windwalker Young Master did not explode in anger as Wang Tiankuang had anticipated; instead, he laughed self-deprecatingly and then said nothing more as he headed towards the Bandit Camp.
This surprised Wang Tiankuang a bit; however, surprises aside, the outcome was good.
Thinking of this, Wang Tiankuang hurriedly followed him and tried several times along the way to compliment the Windwalker Young Master in hopes of easing the atmosphere.
The Black Wind Stronghold towered high into the sky; standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, one could see no end.
"This peak has unique stone formations; it truly is a blessed land. Your stronghold is built here; it will surely achieve great things in the future!" Throughout the journey, Wang Tiankuang flattered and complimented him. However, the Windwalker Young Master did not seem very interested in him. With nothing else to say, he could only casually talk about the unique terrain of Black Wind Stronghold.
"Oh?" The Windwalker Young Master stopped and turned to look at Wang Tiankuang, then casually reached out and pulled down a protruding stone.
"Does the Sky Mad Second Master understand feng shui?" The Windwalker Young Master raised his hand, and the stone dust that had turned to powder scattered in the wind.
Wang Tiankuang was taken aback; he didn't know anything about feng shui. He had just been talking nonsense out of boredom.
"I know a little..." He couldn't just let his words go unacknowledged, so Wang Tiankuang forced himself to pretend he understood.
"Heh heh, thousands of years ago, a strange stone fell from beyond the Nine Heavens, towering over tens of thousands of feet and sinking three thousand feet into the ground. The Square Area was affected for hundreds of miles." The Windwalker Young Master did not continue to press but instead began to recount the history of Black Wind Stronghold.
"Is it really that mysterious? How come I've never heard of this!" Wang Tiankuang thought it was unbelievable, but he smiled awkwardly and said, "I knew this place must be extraordinary!"
"Heh heh, its origins can indeed be considered unusual, but there are no benefits to speak of; in fact, there are many abnormalities, which troubles the Boss greatly." The Windwalker Young Master frowned and gazed into the distance as if recalling something.
"Oh? Is that so?" Wang Tiankuang followed up on his words.
"Last night was a prime example." The Windwalker Young Master sighed helplessly and turned his gaze to Wang Tiankuang.
Wang Tiankuang felt a jolt in his heart as the earlier gesture of linking arms resurfaced in his mind.
"Did something happen at your stronghold last night?" His mental image was quickly replaced by another scene; there had been strange phenomena last night, and a giant python had appeared. Everything seemed quite unusual.
"Sigh..." The Windwalker Young Master sighed and did not answer.
"I've spoken out of turn, Fourth Seat, please don't mind me." Seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, Wang Tiankuang quickly offered a polite remark.
"Forget it, let's go meet Boss first. After we see him, he will naturally tell you about these matters." With that, Windwalker Young Master took another step forward, but instead of heading up the mountain, he moved to the side.
Wang Tiankuang frowned, pondering, "Listening to him, has something happened at Black Wind Stronghold?"
He glanced at the Windwalker Young Master walking ahead, and a trace of barely noticeable coldness flashed across Wang Tiankuang's face as he thought again, "Heh, if something has changed, that's even better. Then I will have two options to choose from. If you Black Wind Stronghold suffered a heavy blow from last night's anomaly, I will join forces with Ye Tian and take down your stronghold in one fell swoop. If the situation remains stable, then I will endure for now and use your strength to eliminate Ye Tian!"
With such a favorable calculation in his mind, a cold smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Wang Tiankuang's mouth. His hatred for Black Wind Stronghold was no less than for Ye Tian, and eliminating either would be a great satisfaction for him.
Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, the Windwalker Young Master had already walked quite far ahead. Upon seeing that Wang Tiankuang was standing still and not moving forward, he frowned slightly and called out loudly, "Why isn't Sky Mad Second Master moving?"
"Oh! My apologies, Fourth Seat, I was just captivated by the scenery of your stronghold and lost in thought." Wang Tiankuang quickly caught up and randomly found an excuse to explain.
"Heh heh, can crumbling walls be considered scenery? I didn't expect that Sky Mad Second Master actually enjoys this kind of flawed beauty?" The Windwalker Young Master pointed at the collapsed wooden structures scattered around and teased.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tiankuang's face instantly turned awkward. He was not a person skilled in conversation; it would not be an exaggeration to say he was rather crude. However, having forced himself to act refined for quite some time now, he felt like he had run out of ideas and ended up speaking carelessly this time.
"Heh heh, let's go." Noticing Wang Tiankuang's awkward demeanor, the Windwalker Young Master said no more and continued to lead the way.
"Ha..." Wang Tiankuang sighed inwardly. He wondered if his repeated offenses against this Black Wind Stronghold Fourth Seat would lead to any bad consequences.
Due to his previous inappropriate remarks, Wang Tiankuang dared not speak further along the way and simply followed closely behind. Finally, after about two incense sticks' worth of time, they arrived in front of Boss of Black Wind Stronghold.
This place is a cliff on the low ridge of Black Wind Stronghold. It may be considered low only in comparison to the main peak of Black Wind Stronghold; if measured by the height of the light wheel, this place is probably as high as a Hundred Zhang, so it cannot be deemed low.
"Big Brother, Sky Mad Second Master has arrived," Windwalker Young Master said softly, cupping his hands towards the three figures at the edge of the cliff.
The three figures turned their heads upon hearing his voice, each casting a scrutinizing glance at Wang Tiankuang.
"I pay my respects to Boss, Second-in-Command, and Third Master." Seeing that Windwalker Young Master had no intention of introducing them, Wang Tiankuang speculated on their identities. The elder standing in the middle must be Boss, while the two beside him were undoubtedly Second-in-Command and Third Master.
"Hehe, I have met your big brother Wang Tianba several times; there is no need for such formalities, little brother." The elder was indeed Boss, and he was smiling broadly as he introduced the other two to Wang Tiankuang.
"This is my second brother, Storm Thunder Antei, and this is my Third Brother, known as Earthshatter Tai Sui." At this point, the elder paused and continued with a smile, "Speaking of which, my Third Brother has some connection with you; his name is Zuo Tiankuang."
"Oh? Truly a pleasure to meet you!" Wang Tiankuang said with mild surprise as he cupped his hands towards the robust man on Boss's left.
However, that man did not seem very friendly; he merely snorted coldly and crossed his arms without any intention of returning the greeting.
"I have long admired the reputation of the Wang family's Twin Fiends. I am Storm Thunder Antei. Today, to see the true face of Sky Mad Second Master is indeed a great honor!" Compared to Earthshatter Tai Sui's rudeness, Second-in-Command on the elder's right was much more courteous.
"I dare not take credit; Second-in-Command flatters me." Wang Tiankuang looked up and down at Thunderstorm and saw that he was dressed in a scholar's robe. Although not particularly handsome, he exuded an air of elegance. If seen on the street, no one would guess that he was Second-in-Command of Black Wind Stronghold, a ruthless bandit who would kill without blinking.
