The First Venerable of the Prosperous Age

Seeing that they didn't even care about Senior Brother Tang and ran away without looking back, he could only sigh helplessly. Then he turned to the two brothers and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to find him."

So, Chang'an was pushed and shoved by the two brothers to walk ahead, their destination naturally being the territory of Gu Cuo, though the two brothers were unaware of it.

On the way, Strange Eight-Knife suddenly asked in a questioning tone, "Kid, how did you know who we're looking for?"

Chang'an smiled slightly, "Of course it's... a guess."

"Guess?! So you're making a fool of us, aren't you?!" Pink Mountain roared angrily.

"Hey, Brother Shan, don't be in a hurry. Let him tell us how he guessed. If he's just playing around, then we can deal with him later." Guai Ba Dao wasn't in a rush. He stood to the side with his eyebrows raised, and you didn't need to guess to know that he had a sly smile on his face.

Then he turned to Chang'an and deliberately coughed twice: "Then tell me, how did you guess it?"

Chang'an looked bitter and slowly replied, "At first, I had no idea why you came here."

"It wasn't until you couldn't stand the blue-robed disciple's continued insults towards... Lu Xiaosan, and thus jumped out to brutally kill him, that I realized you most likely came with a very strong personal grudge." Chang'an's expression was somewhat complicated and uncertain as he spoke.

Fortunately, after hearing Lu Xiaosan's name, the two brothers finally nodded to each other, and at the same time, they became more curious about Chang'an.

Chang'an sighed softly and said slowly, "Later, you said you came here to rescue someone. Only after arriving here did I dare to boldly guess that you came for the missing Lu Xiaosan..."

Guai Ba Dao squinted, his face full of arrogance: "Hmph, what if I told you the person we're looking for isn't that bald monk?!"

Chang'an walked ahead, somewhat amused and exasperated: "Looks like you still don't quite believe me, you weirdo... Pink Old Mountain..."

"Holy crap! How the hell did you...you know our main account number?! Could it be that you really..." The two brothers were stunned into silence.

"I hear you two calling each other 'Brother Shan' and 'Brother Dao' all the time. Besides, you two really do fit the description Lu Xiaosan gave you:"

"What an arrogant and boastful idiot! What a shameless pig!"

"I suppose I'm referring to...you guys..."

Chang'an walked forward silently as he spoke, until he could no longer sense the people behind him. Then he suddenly turned around and found the two of them staring at him in astonishment.

"Could it be... that I said something wrong?" Chang'an asked, looking puzzled.

After exchanging an awkward smile, the two brothers said, "I didn't expect that our eldest brother would be so lenient with us."

"Damn it, it seems that Big Brother's manners still need to be lowered!" Pink Old Mountain said with a smile.

Then, the two brothers looked at Chang'an with great interest.

Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief: "What I'm saying is what he told me before. Now you can believe me, right?"

"Hmm, not bad." Just as the two brothers were praising themselves, they suddenly transformed into two streaks of purple light, rushed to Chang'an's side, grabbed his hands, and forced him to press his face to the ground, pinning him firmly to the ground.

This caused Chang'an to feel a sharp pain in his elbow, and he pressed his face and nose to the ground, making it difficult to breathe.

"Kid, take us to him obediently. We need to see him alive or dead. If you dare to play any tricks, we two brothers will drag you down to the deepest hell, even if we die!" Pink Mountain roared.

"Anyway, we two brothers have sores all over our hands and are just rotten lives! We've had enough of living!!!" Strange Eight-Knife added arrogantly.

"Okay...okay...okay, I won't play any tricks, I won't play any tricks!" Chang'an was quite taken aback by this sudden turn of events and quickly replied.

"Hmph!" The two brothers then slowly let go of each other's hands.

Chang'an paused for a moment, preparing to get up. Looking up, he saw the two brothers trying to put on a menacing expression, which was utterly comical. This instantly dispelled any fear Chang'an had just accumulated.

It's incredibly difficult to make him fear two people like that. In fact, it's difficult for anyone.

"Keep going! Stop laughing and joking!" The two brothers continued to push and shove from behind, shouting and cursing.

But the more serious they were, the more Chang'an wanted to laugh.

"Stop!" A woman's resolute voice came from behind after they had only taken two steps.

Chang'an was startled and hurriedly turned around, where he saw a red tassel dancing in the wind.

The girl holding the gun was Ah Mei, but her eyes looked very complicated at this moment, as if she was somewhat afraid, and she was not as firm as she had been when she spoke earlier.

Her fear was amplified, especially when the two brothers turned around and stared at her with menacing expressions.

She was so frightened that she swallowed hard, but she tried to remain calm, though her whole body seemed to be trembling slightly.

"Amei! What are you doing here?!" Chang'an shouted.

Hearing his voice, Amei finally calmed down a little and stammered, answering loudly, "I...I saw you all...suddenly scattered, leaving only...poor...Wang Xiaofan...alone there, so...I...thought to go and get him...some clothes to change into."

"But on the way back, I saw those two men attacking you from afar, so I couldn't just stand by and do nothing!"

Chang'an was stunned, and then he noticed that what she was wearing around her waist were clothes that could be worn by men.

Seeing this, Chang'an was amused and exasperated: "Out of so many people, why did you take Wang Xiaofan's words seriously?"

Amei suddenly became serious: "My father said that we should prioritize righteousness and help others. We must never abandon or give up on anyone!"

Chang'an slapped his thigh in frustration, "That sounds nice, but don't you think it's extremely unfair to you?"

"I...I didn't think that much about it. I just saw that Wang Xiaofan needed help, so I did it!" Amei looked very confident and didn't seem to regret it at all.

Chang'an sighed again, saying helplessly, "Do you even know that this was all just a play I put on with Wang Xiaofan to buy everyone a chance to escape? I just never expected that anyone would pity Wang Xiaofan..."

Amei was slightly surprised, "So you two... had already planned this all along?"

"It's just a matter of a glance on the spot, there's no need to discuss it, right, Brother Shan, Brother Dao?" Chang'an hurriedly replied.

"Hmm, not bad, this kind of tacit understanding does exist." Strange Eight Blades said unhurriedly, his whole face shining with satisfaction.

Just now, the two pink-clad guys were caught in the middle. They looked at Chang'an for a while, then at Amei, and finally patted Chang'an on the shoulder and said to Amei with a grin, "Little sister, we were just joking with him."

"Yeah, yeah, we're all brothers. I was just checking his body, hehehehehe." Pink Mountain shamelessly chimed in from the side.

Now that it has fallen into enemy hands, Chang'an can only laugh and agree.

Unexpectedly, Ah Mei stood in front of him with her gun raised, shouting, "If you're going to examine his body, then examine his body. Why are you pinning him to the ground?"

She immediately looked at Chang'an and sincerely advised, "Those two are so barbaric and violent, they're like savages. You must not treat them as brothers!"

Chang'an burst out laughing, her laughter revealing her innocence and cuteness.

But the brothers' smiles froze. They thought to themselves that they were clearly good men who risked their lives for justice, yet they were always portrayed as lowly beggars and homeless people, or greedy robbers and murderers. Now they were being called barbaric and violent savages. How could they tolerate this?

And so, the pent-up displeasure in the two brothers finally erupted.

"Damn it, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! We brothers respected you as a righteous person, but you insulted us. You're so shameless! Ugh, I'm so angry!" Strange Eight-Knife's face trembled with rage, as if he was about to make a move.
