Chapter 032: Arriving at the Door
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第032章 登门
But Wang Bo hadn't expected that the Azure Garret would assign Du Sha to the frontier. He didn't know whether this decision was made by the Azure Garret or requested by Du Sha himself.
Although conditions in the frontier were harsh, it was indeed a mixed bag, which could effectively avoid some vendettas.
Many who committed crimes in the Central Plains liked to flee to the frontier.
Someone like Du Sha, who was on the blacklist of the Southern Sky Hero Lu Zhongyuan, even with the protection of the Azure Garret, was still much safer in the frontier than within the passes.
So even if Du Sha had volunteered to take charge in the frontier, Wang Bo wouldn't be surprised.
After all, he had too many enemies; just Lu Zhongyuan alone was enough to give him a hard time.
Although Lu Zhongyuan was not as formidable as Yan Nantian, his martial arts were still among the top in the jianghu. He had a fiery temper, a natural love for martial arts, and a profound study of swordsmanship. The jianghu circulated the prestige of 'Southern Sky Sword Art, Sword Supreme in the South.' Moreover, his internal energy, cultivated from the Damo Sutra, was uniquely profound and immensely powerful, possessing the strength of a dragon and elephant.
A character like Du Sha wouldn't last a hundred moves in his hands before being crushed.
So Du Sha's hiding in the frontier was undoubtedly the right choice.
In the world of Qunxia Zhuan, villains oozing with evil were everywhere. Du Sha might dominate in the world of Juedai Shuangjiao, but here he was far from ranking as the top of the Ten Evildoers.
If a list of the Ten Evildoers were made in this world, Du Sha wouldn't even qualify.
So as long as he didn't appear within the passes, no one would rush to kill him, since there were plenty more evil than him, and besides, Du Sha now had the backing of the Azure Garret.
And the Azure Garret was renowned in the jianghu, not to be trifled with.
After entering the Azure Garret, Wang Bo decisively hypnotized the steward of this branch and asked, 'Do you know where Feng Siniang is in the frontier?'
The steward shook his head and said, 'Feng Siniang's whereabouts are uncertain; I don't know where she is.'
'Then can you find Feng Siniang?' Wang Bo continued.
The steward said with a proud expression, 'In the frontier, although the Azure Garret's power is weak, finding a person is no problem. In three days, we can find Feng Siniang.'
Wang Bo couldn't help but roll his eyes, wanting to complain, but then he thought this wasn't modern times but ancient times; three days was already efficient, so he couldn't ask for more.
Since Wang Bo had nothing to do recently, he nodded and said, 'Use all your power to find Feng Siniang for me in the shortest time.'
'No problem.' The steward nodded and began issuing orders. Hypnotized by Wang Bo, he now served Wang Bo even more diligently than the Azure Garret.
After leaving the Azure Garret, Wang Bo found an inn nearby, checked in, and waited for news from the Azure Garret.
However, by evening, instead of news from the Azure Garret, the master of the Azure Garret appeared.
Not Huo Xiu, but the master of the frontier branch.
Du Sha!
That evening, as Wang Bo sat by the window on the first floor of the inn, enjoying the view outside, Du Sha walked into the inn, scanned the room, locked onto Wang Bo, and walked over step by step.
With his steps, the air became charged with a oppressive atmosphere.
Faintly, even a bloody aura emerged.
That was killing intent.
Though invisible and intangible, it truly existed. The ordinary people around felt this killing intent, their hearts involuntarily racing, their breathing becoming rapid, as if an invisible stone pressed on their hearts.
Many couldn't bear such killing intent and got up to leave.
Du Sha stopped in front of Wang Bo, snorted coldly, shaking the surrounding air, displaying a not-weak internal skill.
Wang Bo turned his head to look at him. He had seen Du Sha's portrait in the Azure Garret, so he naturally knew who the person standing before him was.
But Du Sha was different from what Wang Bo had imagined. The man was thin and tall, dressed in a pure white robe, his hands tucked into his sleeves, his face pale, so pale it was almost as transparent as ice.
This was probably caused by some peculiar internal skill.
He stood, looking down at Wang Bo sitting in the chair, his eyes floating with a faint killing intent.
'Not long ago, Zhang Fulin suddenly bypassed me and mobilized all the Azure Garret's spies to look for that madwoman Feng Siniang. Do you have anything to say about that?'
Wang Bo knew that the Zhang Fulin Du Sha mentioned was the steward of the Azure Garret in the frontier. Although he was the steward, he wasn't the top leader; the real leader was Du Sha standing before him.
After being hypnotized by Wang Bo, the steward mobilized the Azure Garret's spies, and this matter naturally couldn't be hidden from Du Sha.
After learning of this, Du Sha was greatly surprised. Zhang Fulin had never had the audacity to act on his own, bypassing him; this was against common sense.
So Du Sha ordered the Azure Garret to investigate, and found that Zhang Fulin had mobilized the Azure Garret's people after meeting Wang Bo. Then he sent people to inquire about Wang Bo's whereabouts, only to find that Wang Bo was staying at an inn near the Azure Garret, seemingly not intending to hide.
This made Du Sha even more astonished, so he came straight to the door without a second word.
He wanted to see just what kind of person this was, daring to mobilize the Azure Garret's people for his own purposes.
This was too disrespectful to him, the master of the Azure Garret.
As for whether Wang Bo was someone sent by the Azure Garret's headquarters, Du Sha never considered it. If he were from headquarters, he would have notified him in advance.
But so far, Du Sha had not received any letter from headquarters.
So he was very clear that Wang Bo was not a member of the Azure Garret.
Therefore, Du Sha immediately gave Wang Bo a show of force, but he found that the man before him seemed not to take him seriously at all.
Wang Bo looked up at Du Sha, smiled slightly, and said, 'Sit.'
Du Sha involuntarily sat down.
In an instant, Du Sha's expression changed drastically, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, soaking his entire body in the blink of an eye.
He had not intended to sit down just now, but as soon as the other said 'sit,' his body acted on its own, defying his own will, and plopped down onto the chair.
This situation was simply unheard of.
Du Sha thought it over and found that no martial art in the jianghu could achieve such a feat. In his view, this was more like sorcery than martial arts.
Such a person could not be fought head-on.
Wang Bo, as if not noticing Du Sha's expression, glanced at him with a half-smile, poured a cup of tea for Du Sha, and asked, 'I borrowed some manpower from the Azure Garret. Do you have any objections?'
