<strong>Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining</strong>


    “Don’t rush, let’s see what’s going on first,” Jin Guozhong carefully observed the surroundings and said.


    It was very quiet around, as if most people had already gone to the vi, but none of them came out after entering.


    Just when the three of them were waiting quietly, someone walked out from the vi.


    “****** all a bunch of useless people, Holy Mouse Hall? More like street rats,” the person cursed.


    Jin Guozhong heard the cursing, and it was clear that this person wasn’t from Holy Mouse Hall; otherwise, he wouldn’t say that.


    “Come with me,” Jin Guozhong stood up, tidied his clothes, and then boldly walked out.


    “Who the hell are you to badmouth Holy Mouse Hall?” Jin Guozhong approached and stood in front of the person.


    The person nced at Jin Guozhong, felt a bit familiar, but didn’t think further and said disdainfully, “Stay aside, don’t bother me.”


    The person said this, trying to bypass Jin Guozhong and leave when Xiang Yu grabbed him by the cor and red, “rify your words, or we won’t be polite.”


    “Wow, Holy Mouse Hall might be weak, but they sure know how to bully people,” the person mocked.


    “Who the hell are you?” Jin Guozhong asked.


    “I’m someone invited by your Hall Master. To join Qing Gang, you have to get through me,” the person arrogantly said.


    Hearing Qing Gang, Jin Guozhong understood that this person was a representative from Qing Gang.


    “What were you arguing about inside? What happened to our Hall Master?” Jin Guozhong asked.


    The person snorted disdainfully and then exined what had happened earlier.


    Upon hearing that Xiao Xuan left through the back, Jin Guozhong started to worry again, fearing he’d be caught which would spell disaster.


    “Youe with me,” Jin Guozhong demanded, holding the person.


    “Let go of me, who are you to touch me?” the person shouted angrily.


    Jin Guozhong unceremoniously pped the person twice, making his nose bleed.


    “Follow when I’m taking you, or I’ll ruin you now,” Jin Guozhong shouted.


    “What are you to Sky Thief Rat?” Seeing Jin Guozhong’s toughness, the person became worried.


    “I’m his brother. Dare to badmouth him, it’s light if I don’t kill you,” Jin Guozhong said and pulled the person along.


    Along the way, they encountered several people from Holy Mouse Hall, all swiftly heading towards the vi, but none paid attention to Jin Guozhong and his group.


    Jin Guozhong and his group of four walked out just like that, so smoothly that he himself found it hard to believe.


    “I’ve been friends with your Hall Master for years. I met him two years ago…” Seeing Jin Guozhong’s serious face, the person began to build rapport.


    “You met my brother two years ago?” Jin Guozhong asked in confusion.


    The person quickly nodded, “Yes, your Hall Master cooperated with us two years ago. Joining us Qing Gang was already nned,” the person proudly said.


    Jin Guozhong didn’t ask further and then pulled the person into the car.


    Xiao Xuan and the others were climbing over from the back mountain, so he needed to pick them up quickly.


    The back mountain wasn’t very high, but it was steep, hard for most people to climb.


    Holy Mouse Hall people chased from behind, many falling halfway back down, a spectacr scene.


    Fortunately, the trees cushioned them, or many would have fallen to their deaths.


    Xiao Xuan climbed to the top in one go, Leng Chan following behind, barely managing but already out of breath.


    “Are you okay?” Xiao Xuan asked.


    Seeing Xiao Xuan’s calm demeanor, Leng Chan quickly nodded, “No problem.”


    Xiao Xuan nodded and continued down the mountain. Although it was steep going up, it was easier going down.


    With one leading and the other following, they hurried down. At halfway, Xiao Xuan suddenly sensed movement behind.


    His first reaction was that Sky Thief Rat had woken up.


    “Knock him out,” Xiao Xuan quickly stood in front of Leng Chan and shouted.


    Leng Chan hadn’t reacted, but when she saw Sky Thief Rat’s eyes open, she understood and punched him hard in the head.


    This punch didn’t knock out Sky Thief Rat, but instead, it made him fully awake.


    Sky Thief Rat opened his eyes, realizing he was on someone else’s back, and struggled desperately, shouting.


    Xiao Xuan, quite helpless, took a sheet and swiftly struck Sky Thief Rat’s neck, making him faint again.


    Knocking someone out has its techniques; it’s not just any punch that can do it. Xiao Xuan learned this skill from Xiang Yu.


    Leng Chan smiled awkwardly, then continued with Xiao Xuan.


    By now, someone had caught up from behind, shouting, with asional gunshots fired into the air.


    They tried to scare the two, but the pair wasn’t afraid of gunshots.


    But since Xiao Xuan was carrying someone, his speed slowed, and Holy Mouse Hall people were closing in.


    “Can you carry him?” Xiao Xuan asked Leng Chan.


    Leng Chan understood what Xiao Xuan meant and shook her head, “I can’t carry him. I’ll distract them then you go.”


    As she spoke, Leng Chan turned to leave, but Xiao Xuan quickly pulled her back.


    Leng Chan was someone Xiang Yu specifically called to rescue, and if she left, she’d surely be caught.


    “There’s a path ahead; we just need to reach it,” Xiao Xuan pulled Leng Chan along.


    Leng Chan looked in the direction Xiao Xuan pointed, seeing no path, knowing Xiao Xuan was making it up.


    “You go with him, don’t mind me,” Leng Chan stubbornly said.


    But Xiao Xuan was even more stubborn, dragging Leng Chan along, slowing them down even more.


    Leng Chan had no choice but to follow Xiao Xuan forward. After five minutes, a path appeared ahead.


    Seeing the road, Leng Chan looked at Xiao Xuan in surprise; how did he find it in such darkness?


    On the path, things got easier, and Xiao Xuan ran quickly, carrying someone ahead.


    Leng Chan struggled to keep up,ining about Xiao Xuan under her breath while chasing.


    The pursuers ran faster, and without help, they would soon be caught.


    Leng Chan grew anxious, thinking of staying to block the pursuers, but worried that if she stayed, Xiao Xuan would too.


    Understanding Xiao Xuan briefly made her think so.


    “Stop running, you can’t escape,” one pursuer panted.


    Although they’d caught up, their stamina was about spent and wouldn’tst much longer.


    Running from the path, they reached a highway. Had they note down this way, they’d never know it led directly to Holy Mouse Hall’s base…
