Chapter 270 – Liu Wushuang: Have I Boarded a Pirate Ship?

Time flowed quietly.

Several days later.

As the situation developed, online public opinion fermented and intensified. The news about the Sword God’s Senior Disciple being at Jianghai Library spread at an astonishing rate.

During these days,

the entire city was abuzz with discussions about this news.

Large numbers of citizens gathered at the entrance of Jianghai Library, holding banners and completely blocking the library.

In late autumn, with withered yellow leaves falling, the bleak streets were instead crowded with surging crowds—all citizens seeking the Sword God’s Senior Disciple.

Some even used library information to successfully obtain Qin Yang’s phone number, resulting in various harassing calls daily.

Cooperation proposals, apprenticeship requests, love confessions, and even…

Small sects contacted Qin Yang, seeking him to become their nominal sect leader!

There was no helping it.

After all, he was the youngest Supreme Realm cultivator in history.

Unprecedented and likely never to be surpassed.

Coupled with titles like Sword God’s Senior Disciple and heir to the Exploding Heavens Gang… this series of prestigious titles was simply too dazzling.

Now, everyone had joined the search for the Sword God’s Senior Disciple.

The entire city was in an uproar!

Yet Qin Yang’s approach to this was simple:

Complete indifference! Acting as if it had nothing to do with him!

He replaced all his previous phone cards, had the Commander arrange a new confidential number, informed his close friends and family, then ignored everything else!

He went about his daily life as usual, day after day!

Facing such large-scale public attention, silence spoke louder than words—cold treatment was a relatively good approach. The public’s enthusiasm would eventually fade, so he didn’t need to overthink it.

As for subsequent matters, the Commander had made commitments—the rest didn’t require Qin Yang’s excessive concern, as he was now personally handling it with his people.

Evening, as dusk faded.

Outside Jianghai Library, rows of Star Martial Police Department vehicles lined up like iron threads, blocking the frenzied citizens.

Street lamps lit up one after another, while the nearby river shimmered with sparkling reflections.

Xia He, supporting himself with a cigarette, squatted under the dim yellow streetlight, melancholily blowing smoke rings as he watched the chaotic crowd.

“Still have to work overtime.”

His first task after returning from vacation was maintaining order at Jianghai Library. Judging by the current crowd flow, he wouldn’t be able to clock out anytime soon.

“Captain Xia?”

A police officer approached from behind, slowly squatting beside him and cautiously asking, “That person we were monitoring before… was he really the Sword God’s Senior Disciple?”

“What else could it be?”

Xia He blew a smoke ring, glancing at the officer. “You don’t believe it?”

“I do!”

The officer nodded anxiously. “When I saw you distracted during the surveillance mission before, this explains it… Captain Xia, the Sword God’s Senior Disciple won’t hold it against us, will he?”

Trembling, he asked another question, his hand holding the cigarette shaking uncontrollably as he recalled the previous experience with regret.

If only he had known it was a Supreme Realm expert,

he would never have agreed to the surveillance!

After the mission ended, all participants suffered varying degrees of fright—monitoring a Supreme Realm expert, and a disciple of the Exploding Heavens Gang at that, was simply too outrageous.

Many had already applied for leave, avoiding Jianghai City for some time.

All scared out of their wits!

“Don’t worry, he’s not that kind of person.”Xia He waved his hand, grinding the cigarette butt into the ground. “As his captain, I understand him well enough. He wouldn’t fuss over trivial matters like this surveillance footage.”

“Right, that’s good to hear.”

The team member patted his chest and glanced at the noisy crowd nearby. “Captain Xia, the second-generation Sword God still hasn’t shown up… Is he really planning to abandon the Library for good?”

“Ah, who knows,”

Xia He sighed deeply, gazing toward the direction of Fuhai Villa.

“That old fox is probably training somewhere else right now.”

……….

Meanwhile, in Fuhai District.

Within the villa area.

Roars of frustration echoed through the air.

“Stupid fox! Get over here now!”

In the living room, Qin Yang’s fingers danced like blurs across his phone screen. “If you don’t hurry up, I’m going to lose my killing streak!”

“Stop rushing me! This Fairy is coming, Master! Just wait a moment longer!”

Xiaobai leaned against him, her fair hands moving swiftly across her own screen as if playing a musical instrument:

“These humans are so pathetic, this Fairy can handle them easily. Don’t worry Master! Your servant will definitely secure first place for you!”

As she spoke.

Their in-game stats skyrocketed!

The match progressed smoothly, breaking through enemy defenses like a hot knife through butter. Soon they reached the critical moment, trapping their opponents at their spawn point in a vicious cycle.

Step forward.

Die!

Respawn!

Immediately feed another kill!

“…”

Beside the sofa, Liu Wushuang had also taken out his phone, joining Qin Yang’s three-player team. Watching the relentless slaughter on screen.

His feelings were complicated…

He had only come to visit the Young Gang Leader, but somehow ended up being dragged into gaming…

And they were bullying ordinary players?

This is the legendary Exploding Heavens Gang?

“Did I join the Exploding Heavens Gang too hastily…”

Liu Wushuang sighed inwardly.

Just then, Qin Yang’s voice suddenly rang out:

“Liu Wushuang! Behind! Behind! Protect me quickly!”

Snapping him out of his daze, Liu Wushuang immediately focused on the game, his expression turning serious.

“Wait a moment, I’m almost there! Don’t worry, Young Gang Leader!”

On the screen.

Dazzling game effects filled the display. Qin Yang’s character had explosive stats – a single casual swing would wipe out most of the enemy’s health bar.

With Liu Wushuang and Xiaobai providing perfectly timed support.

It had become a completely one-sided massacre!

The trio freely harvested their opponents.

Soon.

The intense match concluded!

As expected, Qin Yang once again claimed the MVP title.

An easy victory!

“Not bad, more points for us.”

com!

Qin Yang admired the battle report on screen before finally putting down his phone, fully satisfied.

The feeling of completely dominating their opponents was truly exhilarating…

Almost as satisfying as when he killed Qi Qingshan!

“Too bad that guy didn’t drop any loot.”

Qin Yang sighed inwardly remembering Qi Qingshan’s miserable death, then turned to Xiaobai to discuss business: “Now that this order is complete, how much do I get paid?”

“Let this Fairy check… wait a moment, Master.”

Xiaobai exited the game and skillfully opened the order-taking app, scrolling to their completed assignment. “Hmm… this order pays about sixty.”

“Sixty?”Qin Yang was momentarily stunned, wondering if he had misheard!

Only sixty?

He had been grinding for most of the day, and this job was only worth that little?

“You didn’t take a cut, did you?”

Qin Yang frowned at Xiaobai, his guard rising sharply. “Don’t think you can take advantage of me just because I’m new to being a game booster.”

“How could I! This Fairy would never be that kind of fox!”

Xinabai shook her head vigorously, immediately explaining, “This job is just priced at that rate. Master, you’ve only been boosting for a few days and haven’t built up any reputation yet. How could you possibly get big orders?”

As she spoke, she stood on the sofa, hands on her hips, and snorted:

“Those sixty are only because the client gave face to this Fairy—we’re old acquaintances, so they assigned it to you… Otherwise, you wouldn’t even get a sixty-yuan job!”

“…”

Qin Yang was speechless, opening his mouth as if to say something.

But in the end, he let it go.

After all, Xiaobai had been in the business longer and could be considered a senior booster. He was just in it for fun anyway, so there was no need to fuss too much. As long as he got paid, it was fine.

“Alright, sixty it is.”

With that thought, Qin Yang didn’t mind anymore. “Just enough for takeout. Xiaobai, order me a braised pork knuckle later.”

“Okay.”

Xiaobai nodded and opened the food delivery app, muttering under her breath:

“Master, maybe you should find a proper job. Eating takeout every day isn’t healthy… This servant saw online that some unscrupulous vendors don’t even cook fresh—they use pre-made meals, just thawed and delivered to you.”

“How terrifying!”

Xiaobai wagged her tail, and after placing the order, she sidled up to Qin Yang. “You should really find a job. This servant will cook for you every day, so you don’t have to order takeout.”

“Find a job?”

Qin Yang chuckled, gazing lazily at the clouds outside the window as he stretched. “Do you think it’s that easy to find work now?”

“Your master’s name is out there now, and the streets are filled with fervent netizens. Getting a job would be troublesome—I’d risk being recognized at any moment.”

Now, all of Jianghai City was in an uproar, with people everywhere searching for the Sword God’s Senior Disciple.

Going out to find a job now… was there any difference from walking into a trap?!

“…”

Nearby, Liu Wushuang listened silently to the master-servant conversation, feeling increasingly speechless and somewhat worried. Had he truly made the wrong choice?

Jianghai had been peaceful these past few days.

He didn’t have many acquaintances in Jianghai City, so he had taken the opportunity to visit Fuhai District to pay respects to the Young Gang Leader, hoping to receive orders to serve the gang.

But to his surprise,

every time he visited, he only found the man and the fox playing games, completely unconcerned with cultivation.

They even ordered him, in the name of the Young Gang Leader, to join the game!

Claiming it was the Exploding Heavens Gang’s daily mission!

Absurd!

With that thought, Liu Wushuang stood up and apologized, “Young Gang Leader, I just remembered I have some matters to attend to. I won’t disturb you two any longer. Please contact me by phone if you need anything in the future.”

“Hmm?”

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. “Leaving already? I had Xiaobai order a braised pork knuckle rice for you too. Stay and eat before you go—no need to rush.”

“Go on, hurry up…”

Xiaobai urged from the side, already impatient to shoo him away, her mind calculating briskly: If Liu Wushuang leaves, wouldn’t that mean an extra portion of pork knuckle rice for her!”You’re so dumb, Master!

You have absolutely no perception at all!”

Xiaobai climbed down from the sofa, pushing and shoving Liu Wushuang from behind, directly escorting him outside the door before forcefully slamming it shut with a backward motion.

“Hurry up and leave! Your skills are truly abysmal. This Fairy genuinely can’t carry you any longer! Hmph!”

BANG!!!

Outside the door.

Liu Wushuang stared at the closed door before him, feeling both amused and exasperated, and could only sigh helplessly.

“This venerable one has truly met with misfortune in people!”
