There must be something wrong with me-Chapter 632 - 240: I Am Zhang Feng!
Between confusion and speculation.
They arrived at a small alley.
Yang Shaoquan finally calmed his mind a bit and looked at his robust companion nicknamed "Three Blades,"
"That infamous thief has been in the martial arts world for years and likely has some treasures in his possession...
But this old man was at the apothecary when it closed yesterday and went north of the city with the thief.
These two must be in league!"
"That must be it!"
Three Blades was very certain, "Brother Yang, those two kids we caught outside the city a few days ago mentioned that the old man is acquainted with Sun the Thief.
At the time, Sun the Thief stopped their runaway horses and exchanged a few words in secret with the old man."
"But those two are outsiders."
Yang Shaoquan shook his head, "They were only saved by Sun the Thief, hence the encounter.
We can't fully trust what they say.
Looking more and investigating further won't hurt, though.
But their words did inform me that there's an expert in this town. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
To think I'd meet Sun the Thief today?"
Yang Shaoquan smiled meaningfully,
"As fate would have it, I've also met him once before.
But he may not remember me."
Yang Shaoquan had no grudge against the thief; the only time they met was outside an inn six years ago.
Yang Shaoquan had a unique ability, a natural memory for people's 'physical constitution.'
Moreover, the thief had been on the run, escaping assassins, and though the pressure was immense, his strength hadn't changed much.
So Yang Shaoquan quickly recognized him.
At this moment, too.
Yang Shaoquan could vaguely recall six years ago, the thief committing murder and robbery while he hid in a tree.
They had the same target, the guests at the inn.
But the thief struck first.
Having witnessed the entire process, he knew then he was no match for the thief.
So he gave up on being the 'mantis after the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.'
He hid from start to finish, not daring to utter a word from the tree.
But now, things are different!
He had already achieved Great Success!
According to the constitution metrics, it was 127!
Especially having observed the thief, he noticed no significant improvement.
Thus, the current situation presents a perfect opportunity for murder and robbery, and to avenge past humiliation.
Thinking of this, Yang Shaoquan felt excited.
The strength of Three Blades was similar to Yang Shaoquan's, and their actions were alike, both engaged in murder and robbery.
They were kindred spirits.
Often, even though Three Blades spoke decisively and confidently, he would follow Yang Shaoquan's lead when it came down to action.
"Does Brother Yang mean to act?"
Three Blades, having listened to Yang Shaoquan's words and based on their years of cooperation, understood Yang's intent,
"When do we act?"
When it came to serious matters, Three Blades, as always, would defer to Yang's arrangements.
"No rush, no rush," hearing the word 'act,' Yang Shaoquan paused, and speculated:
"Earlier, when we passed by Qianlin Hall, we saw Sun the Thief assisting that old man..."
Yang Shaoquan pondered and reflected,
"In hindsight, that old man seems unusual; let's not rush into action, let's investigate a bit more first."
"Still need to investigate?" Three Blades was puzzled, recalling Zhang Feng's appearance, "I saw that old man's steps were unsteady, and he seemed to have no martial skills.
How could Brother Yang say he's unusual?
Maybe Sun the Thief appeared to be helping, but was actually looking for an opportunity to eliminate Qianlin Hall and the old man."
Three Blades reasoned, "In Sun the Thief's past deeds, there are many instances of 'feigning' dependence, while actually seeking opportunities to act."
"But this time is different, and it's not about martial skills either." Yang Shaoquan thought carefully for a few seconds before speaking: "I do have some ability to see through people, and I could see the thief's respect for this old man was not fake.
It's possible... this person has some special identity!
This matter requires investigation and planning.
To avoid provoking someone who shouldn't be provoked."
"I will follow Brother Yang's instructions!" Three Blades was willing to set aside his pride, seeing Brother Yang repeatedly delay, he quickly echoed,
"Indeed, though the person's steps were weak, he was respected by the thief like that.
There must be something unusual indeed."
Three Blades expressed his gratitude to Yang Shaoquan, "I was momentarily blinded by the lure of treasure, causing me to overlook this point.
If it weren't for Brother Yang's reminder, we might have ended up in trouble this time!"
"We are like brothers." Though feeling self-satisfied when Three Blades showed his respects, Yang Shaoquan maintained the demeanor of a mature elder brother.
During their years of acquaintance, it had always been a 'symbiotic' relationship like this.
In any 'duo,' there must be a leader, or someone who makes decisions.
Like Yang Shaoquan, who is clearly an experienced hand in the martial arts world.
In most situations, he rarely suffers losses in the martial world and is even more cautious and thorough in his actions than the thief.
Under his leadership, maintaining harmony in the duo's relationship,
certainly requires someone inexperienced in reading others in the martial arts world, but always finding reasons, finding arguments, and eventually 'suddenly comprehending,' then 'immediately promoting' the idea.
For example, someone seemingly simple like Three Blades.
He is just that kind of person.
In reality, Three Blades is genuinely intelligent, skillfully navigating arguments to boost Yang Shaoquan's morale, allowing this old hand to carry him forward.
Managing to be a thief while evading authorities and martial experts.
