C535 Eyeless Old Man
2Blind Old Man came just like that?
Shi Dali knew that such a moment would always come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Get ready!"
At the first moment, Shi Dali had already reached the window.
Once again, he looked outside through the crack in the wall.
Sure enough, at the entrance of the tavern, there was an additional shadow. It stood there alone, and it seemed to be filled with a desolate aura.
Is this Blind Old Man?
Shi Dali was indeed curious as he stared wide-eyed at the people in the martial arts world that were spreading like wildfire.
However, just like Mr. One Finger, the shadow was now completely covered by the canopy. Mr. One Finger was also wearing a mask on his face. It was likely that he did not want others to see his appearance.
No matter what, he was a legendary character that was full of mystery, so Blind Old Man's actions were understandable.
The people from the second branch in the lobby seemed to have become the most dedicated actors. They didn't care about the shadow at the entrance at all. They just continued drinking and completing their tasks according to the requirements.
"You're here?"
However, suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out from Mr. One Finger's room.
The front hall was obviously extremely noisy, but this sound seemed to pierce through everything.
Blind Old Man didn't agree nor did he make any special actions. He just walked towards the cubicle and entered it, closing the door behind him.
"What do we do now?"
Ren Haoran observed the situation outside from the other side. Since Blind Old Man had appeared, the plan should be carried out smoothly.
So, what to do at this time would depend on Shi Dali's intentions.
"I'll go. Bring the wine."
Taking a step forward, Huo Lang said.
Understanding Huo Lang's intention, Shi Dali did not refuse. Although the group of invincible warriors looked quite frightening, Shi Dali was quite clear about Huo Lang's strength. They were definitely not simple!
The greatest blade in the world, such a reputation was enough to make everyone laugh.
It was probably the most suitable for him to investigate the situation.
Just like that, Huo Lang walked into the lobby from the back of the kitchen with the prepared wine in hand.
Immediately, these assassins, who were pretending to be customers, all looked at him.
Next up, Huo Lang would enter the cubicle and also meet the mysterious Blind Old Man.
Shi Dali had been staring at Huo Lang the whole time. When he finally pushed open the door and entered, his heart was in his throat.
It could be said that the surroundings were filled with assassins. A single careless move could cause a fight to erupt, so no one could completely relax right now.
At the same time, Huo Lang had already reached the table.
It wasn't a very large cubicle. Two people were seated at each side of a table.
It was probably due to Huo Lang coming in, so the two of them didn't say anything. They just looked at him standing beside the table and then placing the prepared wine on the plate.
"Dragons trap the shallows and be toyed with by prawns, tigers fall to the ground and the sun be bullied by dogs. The glory of the past, in the end, no longer exists …"
Suddenly, Mr. One Finger said this.
Huo Lang's movements stopped. His mood was a little strange.
[Whose words are you talking about?]
"Everyone has their own aspirations. How could they not know that all kinds of feelings are interesting?"
Then, Blind Old Man's voice sounded for the first time. Compared to Mr. One Finger's hoarse voice, it was filled with a mighty righteousness.
However, after a few sentences, the two were silent again.
It was inconvenient for Huo Lang to stay there any longer. He then turned around. Especially since he could clearly feel the killing intent that came from the cubicle.
Presumably, those fat metal buckets were already ready to strike, waiting to reveal their killing intent.
Walking through the lobby step by step, Huo Lang went back to the kitchen. At this moment, the mission that seemed to belong to the third branch had been completed.
The Empyreal Net set up by Beihai's Dao Gate had been fully deployed. Especially Blind Old Man, who had already fallen into the net, it was natural for him to do the rest.
"Their position did not obstruct the passage's partition. Let's go!"
The moment Huo Lang saw Shi Dali, he didn't explain the situation in the cubicle and only lowered his voice and said.
Teacher Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn't know anything about the tunnels and the partitions.
However, his lackeys had already started moving. They immediately arrived at the entrance to guard the place. Then, Huo Lang pulled Shi Dali and went to the bottom of the stove.
"You guys be careful. I'll watch from this side."
Ren Haoran probably understood Huo Lang's meaning, so he looked at them and said.
Nodding his head, Huo Lang didn't give Shi Dali a chance to speak. He pressed his right hand down at an unknown location and flipped the floor under his feet. The two of them had already entered a secret passageway.
"The previous owners of this tavern had set up many secret passages and traps. It was only during these two days of careful inspection that we discovered this place. Do you still remember the group of ninjas from before?" "They are hiding in the secret passage. They should be secret killing moves prepared by Beihai. However, since they were killed by us, the other branches should not know about this …"
Huo Lang quickly explained as he led Shi Dali forward.
He must be familiar with this place, so there was no problem walking in the darkness.
In fact, Huo Lang was observing to see if Mr. Tian and company knew about the secret passage before they entered the compartment and didn't mention the secret passage. Only then did he confirm that they didn't know about the existence of the secret passage.
Now that he was sure of this, he could use the secret passage safely.
"So that's how it is."
Inwardly, Shi Dali was secretly delighted. He really didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
However, after thinking about it a bit more, it seems like the information I obtained previously said that there is a secret passage within Westwood Inn.
While he was thinking this, the two of them had already reached the area below the cubicle.
Taking advantage of the light, Shi Dali looked outside. He immediately understood what Huo Lang meant. The crack was in the side corner, so he wouldn't be able to see anything if he was blocked. Fortunately, it was unobstructed.
Shi Dali tried his best to suppress the curiosity in his heart. He carefully observed outside while Huo Lang squatted beside him.
As for the two people in the room, namely Mr. One Finger and Blind Old Man, they were still looking at each other across the table. No one knew what they were thinking, but they didn't say anything for a long time.2
Just when Shi Dali was getting impatient, Mr. One Finger finally made his move.
Clang clang clang!
Very casually, he dropped a few coins on the table.
