Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps came from behind on the street!

"Hmm? Have they caught up?"

Lin Xiaofei was secretly alarmed. He glanced at the few servant disciples at the back gate of the gang, paused, and then disappeared into the dark corner of the wall, directly entering the spatial bead.

Just as Lin Xiaofei entered the spatial bead, a figure as swift as the wind rushed past him from the middle of the street. This person was none other than the bandit Xiao Ba.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofei stood inside the spatial bead, watching the little bully rush away as if he were fighting for his life.

"Luckily I hid in time, otherwise I would have been discovered."

Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly, took a deep breath, and then couldn't help but look down at the package placed on the black soil before walking over.

He squatted down and reached out to open a corner of the package, where he saw several gold ingots. His face immediately lit up with a smile.

However, after only one glance, Lin Xiaofei looked away and continued to stare at the back gate of the gang.

He just wanted to get back to his room as soon as possible to avoid arousing suspicion, since as an inner disciple, he wouldn't go out so early without a reason.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei saw a figure slowly walk out from the other side of the street, gradually approaching, and then stopping next to a big tree a hundred meters away from the back gate of the gang's courtyard.

Half an hour later, Lin Xiaofei noticed that the man kept glancing at the back gate, which made him a little suspicious.

"That person was standing behind the tree the whole time. Was he spying on someone?"

The back gate is usually frequented by menial disciples, who have a low status and have no chance to offend outsiders. Even if a menial disciple offends someone, they are not qualified to be monitored and it is not worth it.

That means monitoring a certain outer disciple or a certain inner disciple.

"Are you spying on me?"

Lin Xiaofei was puzzled, and at the same time, he thought of the cultivator who owned the rat beast, and frowned slightly.

"Could it be that the rat beast's owner sent someone to spy on me?"

After thinking about it, he was suddenly startled.

This morning, when it was pitch black, around three o'clock, he quietly walked out of the back gate. He looked around but didn't find anyone suspicious.

At this time, although the sky was still pitch black, it was estimated to be around five o'clock in the morning, so it was normal for someone to come and monitor it.

After all, this is usually when the handymen disciples start their work, and people will be coming and going from the Qingfeng Gang.

"It's not certain yet that person is spying on me."

He shouldn't notice me from where I am now; I need to go and verify.

Seeing that no one was around, Lin Xiaofei came out of the spatial bead. Seeing that the person in the distance had not noticed him, he turned and walked towards another street.

Lin Xiaofei arrived at the vicinity of the main gate of the Qingfeng Gang branch, familiar with the area.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei frowned.

In the distance, a breakfast shop came into view. A person was sitting at a table set up outside the shop, eating breakfast while glancing at the gate of the mansion from time to time.

Lin Xiaofei did not enter the mansion directly through the main gate, but instead walked slowly towards the shop from the side street.

When the man turned his head, he met Lin Xiaofei's gaze. In an instant, the man's eyes widened and his expression showed a hint of panic.

"He panicked. Why did he panic when he saw me? He must have something to hide."

It seems the two of them are watching me from both sides; they really think highly of me.

However, this matter needs to be handled carefully.

Lin Xiaofei's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

At that moment, wanting to know who they were spying on, he continued walking towards the person having breakfast, who was sitting there without moving.

Seeing that there was no one else around except the breakfast shop owner, Lin Xiaofei did not hesitate and rushed forward.

In that moment of panic, he knew the other person was just an ordinary person; otherwise, there would have been no need to panic.

Now, he needs to find out where the other party came from, otherwise he won't feel at ease.

If the person in front of him were the master of the rat beast, he would turn around and run into the mansion. After all, the other party was a cultivator who even knew magic, and his methods must be more sophisticated than his own, which made him very wary.

The perfect Qingfeng Leg strike erupts!

He leaped out, covering five or six meters, taking three or four steps, and rushed directly in front of the person. He grabbed the person's hand, pulled him sharply, and headed straight into a street alley.

Seeing that the man was about to shout, Lin Xiaofei lifted the man's clothes and stuffed them directly into his mouth. The man was dragged away like a chick.

The young man looked astonished, feeling both delighted and afraid.

The good news is that as long as Lin Xiaofei's whereabouts are discovered and reported to the Taoist priest, one can receive ten taels of silver and a martial arts manual to learn martial arts.

What frightens him is that he has now been caught by Lin Xiaofei, and it seems that he will not be spared. However, he estimates that he will at most be beaten up by Lin Xiaofei, which is worth it for ten taels of silver.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

Lin Xiaofei looked at the nervous young man and said coldly.

The young man glanced at Lin Xiaofei with a disdainful look and said nothing.

"If you don't take my chance, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Xiaofei sighed, then swiftly raised one leg and stomped down on the other person's foot.

With a snap, one of the man's feet was immediately broken by his foot.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiaofei stretched out his hands, grabbed the other person's arms, and pushed him hard, slamming him against the wall. He then fell to the ground, curling up into a ball.

"ah!"

"My feet, my feet..."

A scream rang out.

"Shut up."

Lin Xiaofei frowned, quickly went to the person's side, lifted the person's clothes again, and stuffed the clothes directly into the person's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly raised his hand and slapped the other side of the face hard, the sound of two slaps echoing out, leaving the cheeks red and swollen, with handprints.

"I'm asking you, who sent you? Who are you spying on?"

Think it over before you speak, or I'll cripple both your legs.

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Xiaofei's eyes as he spoke in a cold voice.

The young man's eyes darted around, and he nodded sharply, his face filled with terror. He immediately ripped the clothes out of his mouth and hurriedly said, "A Taoist priest asked me to monitor you."

"If I find your trail, I'll go back and report it, and I'll give you some silver coins."

Is that all?

Lin Xiaofei slowly raised his hand and touched the other person's swollen face.

The man continued, "Once when I went to see that Taoist priest, I found him looking anxious, as if he had lost something."

As for the rest, I really don't know.

Lin Xiaofei was startled, remembering that he had obtained a collar from the rat beast.

The collar was exceptionally hard, impervious to ordinary swords and knives, but other than that, he found nothing particularly special about it.

"What does that Taoist priest look like? How strong is he?"

Lin Xiaofei pressed for more details.

He needs to know the other party's situation; otherwise, if they encounter each other and a fight breaks out, he can prepare in advance and avoid getting hurt.
