Chapter 582 Brothers
“Absolutely,” Tang Gun said. “You guys go first, I’ll come back and change my clothes.”
Da Gu Restaurant is the only restaurant in Da Gu Village. In the past, it used to do decent business; while not packed with customers, it was practically deserted. However, due to the dwindling population of the village, its business has plummeted, and it's now barely surviving. Nevertheless, the owner is a local villager who couldn't bear to leave, so he stayed. Despite the dismal business, a few people still patronize the restaurant every day.
The huge restaurant was completely empty at first glance.
Unlike usual, there was no need to fight for seats tonight; there were plenty of empty tables. Chao Bufan, Yuan Qiu, and Ma Sanpao chose a seat by the window. The owner was an elderly man who greeted everyone warmly, regardless of who came in. He had been dozing behind the counter when he saw customers arrive, and was immediately delighted. However, when he saw that it was Chao Bufan and his friends, he was momentarily stunned, but then he smiled and greeted them warmly.
The boss's reaction was exactly what the three of them expected, and they ignored it, since their "reputation" was well-known throughout the entire Dagu Village.
A table full of fine wine and food was served, and the three of them did not wait for Tang Gun, but started eating and drinking first.
Yuan Qiu was quite honest. As soon as he started eating, he tore off a piece of chicken leg and, without caring whether it was greasy or not, wolfed it down and gnawed on it. That's probably how he got his physique!
“Fatty,” Chao Bufan said, “I have a question for you.”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qiu wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then swallowed the food in his mouth with a "gulp" and asked, "What is it?"
Chao Bufan said, "I remember, your father worked for some kind of security escort agency, right?"
“Yes,” Yuan Qiu replied, “My father works at Xingyuan Escort Agency, so what?”
Chao Bufan nodded slightly, then said, "Help me find out where Moon Goddess Island is."
"What?" The two were both startled. Ma Sanpao asked in surprise, "You want to inquire about Moon Goddess Island?"
Chao Bufan nodded and said "Mm".
Yuan Qiu asked cautiously, "Why are you asking about Moon Goddess Island?"
Just then, Tang Gun walked in and overheard Yuan Qiu's words. He asked, "Fatty, who's so bold as to want to inquire about Moon Goddess Island?"
Yuan Qiu raised his head slightly towards Chao Bufan and said, "Ask him."
Tang Gun sat down and said, "Tian Yue, you want to inquire about Moon Goddess Island?"
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Yes, is that not allowed?"
Tang Gun shook his head and smiled, saying, "Brother, we've heard a bit about your father's situation, but Moon Goddess Island is not to be trifled with."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of others, and I want to avenge my father."
Tang Gun patted Chao Bufan on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Forget it!"
"Heh~" Chao Bufan sneered and said, "Let it go? The Moon Goddess killed my father, why should I let it go? It's not gentlemanly to leave this grudge unavenged. Tell me, do you think I can just let it go like this?"
“What can you do?” Yuan Qiu said. “He’s the leader of the martial arts world now, and the entire martial arts world is under his control. What can you do to him?”
"Sigh," Ma Sanpao sighed, "It wasn't just your father, my father also recently fell victim to his cruelty..."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan was slightly startled. Ma Sanpao continued, "I don't even dare to think about revenge, let alone you. Tianyue, let's just accept our fate!"
"Accept your fate?" Chao Bufan sneered, "Why should I accept my fate? I swore before my father's memorial tablet that I would bring the head of the Moon Goddess to offer as a sacrifice to him."
"Heh~" Ma Sanpao chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Tianyue, listen to me, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. Right now, no one can beat him."
Chao Bufan sensed Ma Sanpao's helplessness and resentment, and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Do you know what I've been doing these past few months?"
"What are you doing?" Yuan Qiu asked.
Chao Bufan pondered for a moment, then said, "Half a year ago, I met an old senior who said I had great talent and insisted on passing on all his knowledge to me. At first, I thought he was just an ordinary old senior, but I didn't know that he forcibly passed on his internal energy to me. Only then did I realize that this old senior was actually a very powerful person."
"Really?" Yuan Qiu and the other two asked in disbelief.
Chao Bufan smiled slightly, then asked Ma Sanpao, "Sanpao, tell me honestly, do you want revenge?"
Ma Sanpao smiled bitterly, "Nonsense, the hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable. I dream of avenging my father, but what's the use? With my current cultivation level, I'd probably die before even seeing the Moon Goddess, so..."
"So you're just accepting your fate, right?" Chao Bufan asked.
"Then tell me what I should do?" Ma Sanpao said with a sneer. "You know who the Moon Goddess is. Do you think you can kill her? Do you have that ability?"
Chao Bufan nodded, then said seriously, "Sanpao, if I could grant you supreme magical power in the blink of an eye, would you seek revenge against him?"
“Tian Yue,” Ma Sanpao said with a bitter smile, “stop talking nonsense here. I know you want to avenge your father, and I want to too, but what’s the use? We’d better just swallow our anger and bear it. We can never avenge this in our lifetime.”
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessarily true. It's your business if you don't seek revenge, but I'm going to get my revenge. Sanpao, Fatty, Tang Gun, aren't we brothers?"
“Nonsense,” the fat man said, “of course we’re brothers.”
“Alright, shouldn’t brothers share both good times and bad?” Chao Bufan asked again.
“Yes,” Tang Gun said, “brothers are meant to share both good times and bad.”
“Hey, Tianyue,” Yuan Qiu said, “I feel like there’s something hidden in what you’re saying! Kid, just say what you mean, don’t beat around the bush.”
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. After putting the glass down, he said, "Fatty, Tang Gun, Sanpao, close your eyes."
"What's going on?" Tang Gun asked, puzzled. Yuan Qiu and Ma Sanpao also stared at Chao Bufan with confused expressions.
"Stop talking nonsense, just do as I say," Chao Bufan said impatiently.
“We can close our eyes,” Ma Sanpao said, “but you have to explain yourself first. What exactly do you want?”
"You son of a bitch," Chao Bufan said irritably, "of course I'm going to give you benefits!"
