Chapter 217: Chapter 217: I am Wu Xia
"Ah, I know!"
Wu Xia nodded awkwardly. The real deal was right here, what didn’t he know?
"Guardian Wu Xia is a graduate of Hai City University. Our boss was Guardian Wu Xia’s best buddy back in the day. Now, with Guardian Wu Xia’s approval, he’s established the Wu Xia Gang here to carry on the glory of our alma mater, Hai City University!"
The man spoke with immense pride, "Now the entire Hai City views our Wu Xia Gang as the top gang. Even the military folks have to show us some respect!"
"Wow, that’s pretty impressive!" Wu Xia’s eyebrows raised slightly, surprised that his name had been misused for scams by the evening after only releasing the news that morning.
This move genuinely angered Wu Xia.
After all, he desired fame to enhance his Power of Soul, and these reputation-damaging fraudsters were obstructing his growth.
"Of course, it’s impressive!" The man hadn’t noticed anything amiss and continued coldly, "Our Big Brother is tight with Guardian Wu Xia. You know Colonel Qin from the Hai City forces? He’s now cozying up to our boss!"
"Then I’ve got to pay your boss a visit!" Wu Xia stifled a laugh, his words heavy with implication.
"Yo, kid, you’ve got the knack!" The man didn’t catch Wu Xia’s drift and wrapped an arm around Wu Xia’s shoulder, "Show me what you’ve got first. The Wu Xia Gang doesn’t just take anybody in!"
"What abilities do you need?" asked Wu Xia, his interest clearly piqued.
"It’s gotta be evolved abilities, of course!" The man snapped his fingers casually, and a weak flame sprouted between them.
"You see? Like this," he said. "Though it’s small for me right now, our Big Brother said that as long as you have the skills, you can eventually train to have super powerful strength just like Guardian Wu Xia!"
"Come on, show me what you’ve got!"
"Oh!" Wu Xia pursed his lips and then mimicked the man’s snapping.
Boom!
A massive flame suddenly exploded, engulfing the man’s face as though in a fire-breathing stunt.
"Cough cough! Damn!"
The man’s eyebrows and beard were singed off in an instant, and the fringe hanging over his forehead burned away, leaving a huge gap.
He coughed violently, but instead of being angry, he was incredibly excited.
"Not bad, kid, didn’t think you’d evolve so quickly. Come with me, I’ll take you to meet Big Brother!"
He proceeded to drag Wu Xia inside, already forgetting that his purpose for coming was for Yang Xue.
He brought Wu Xia to the entrance of a skewer shop and suddenly stopped, saying to Wu Xia in a stern voice, "Brother, my name’s Liu Hu. From now on, you call me Hu. Got it? You were brought by me, so you’ll be under me from now on, understand?"
"Oh!" Wu Xia offered no rebuttal. He would deal with this little runt later.
"Oh, right, brother, what’s your name?" Liu Hu’s brain didn’t seem too sharp, only now remembering to ask Wu Xia’s name.
"Wu Xia!" replied Wu Xia calmly.
"Whoa, what a great name, same as Guardian Wu Xia!" Liu Hu was thrilled, but then he quickly said in a grave tone, "But when we go inside, you can’t say your name is Wu Xia. That’s sacrilege against the Guardian. How about this, you’ll go by the name Wu Long from now on, and we’ll be the Dragon-Tiger Brothers."
"Damn, that’s not right; the dragon should be in front. Wouldn’t I be the one behind?"
"Or you could be Wu Hou, and we’ll be the Tiger-Monkey Brothers!"
"Pfft!" Yang Xue couldn’t hold back her laughter from behind.
Liu Hu then realized that the boss had sent him to invite the beauty over.
"Damn, I totally forgot about you!"
With his carefree personality, Liu Hu was indeed somewhat likable. He scratched his head and frowned, saying, "Beauty, why don’t you wait outside instead of going in? My Mr. Wu can handle it. I’m afraid the boss might be displeased if he sees you later!"
Wu Xia’s eyebrows slightly raised, involuntarily feeling a bit of fondness for Liu Hu.
"Brother, since you’re already following me, of course I’ve got to look out for you!"
Liu Hu said heartily, "You have no idea, our Guardian Wu Xia is quite the romantic, so our big brother is also full of affection. I’m afraid he might take a liking to you later."
"Don’t worry, Hu will have your back later. You just need to listen to my arrangements!"
"No worries, let her come in too," Wu Xia said with a slight smile, having seen from Yang Xue’s eager eyes that she wanted to join in the excitement.
After all, Yang Xue had been staying in Capital City year-round, and aside from filming, she was always under the protection of the Inner Court, never having experienced street life.
"Mhm!" Yang Xue too nodded eagerly like a pecking chick, "Hu, take me with you. If the boss takes a liking to me, I’ll just follow him. Guardian Wu Xia is also my idol. Even though I can’t have Guardian Wu Xia, getting his close buddy is still something to brag about!"
"Huh?" Liu Hu was somewhat baffled by this turn of events.
But his way of thinking was indeed not something an ordinary person could understand, "Brother, didn’t expect it, but you are so noble."
Saying this, he gave a formal bow to Wu Xia, "You should be called Wu Long, from now on I’ll call you Long, please take good care of your little brother."
Wu Xia was completely nonplussed, wondering what exactly was going on.
"Long, you’re more capable than me, and now you’re even giving your girl to the boss. He’ll surely appreciate you for it. I’ve got to have foresight, hehe!"
Liu Hu immediately struck a respectful pose, "Long, sister-in-law, this way please."
Wu Xia was utterly bemused, struggling to suppress a laugh, totally unable to fathom Liu Hu’s line of thought.
Meanwhile, Yang Xue was extremely excited, eagerly taking Wu Xia’s arm and heading inside.
"Let’s go, go see your iron buddy!"
Wu Xia shook his head with a wry smile.
The only brother he had in Hai City was Chen Chaoyang, but Chen Chaoyang was definitely not one to do such things.
The two entered the fried skewer shop, a small storefront of just over a hundred square meters.
Inside were college students, munching on skewers.
Upon entering, Yang Xue was captivated by the food and couldn’t bring herself to move.
Wu Xia didn’t mind, he picked up some items with Yang Xue and handed them to the owner to fry. Afterward, they followed Liu Hu up to the mezzanine.
"Big brother, look at the great helper I’ve brought back for you!"
Liu Hu shouted as he made his way upstairs.
Wu Xia and Yang Xue, arm in arm, climbed up the stairs. By the time they reached the middle of the staircase, the people on the mezzanine were already in sight.
Wu Xia quickly identified the man referred to as "Big Brother."
His expression turned dark in an instant, "So it’s him!"
