Chapter 159: What happened to the internal strife in the Yan family?
"We must change our ways and take a different route immediately."
The two of them quickly cast a spell, changing their appearance and robes, and turned into two ordinary faces.
Jing Gan carried the unconscious Yan Jinjin on his back.
Xiaobai took out a handful of colorful talismans.
"Let's go to Nanjing City."
"We're going to have a forced march this time. We'll use all the acceleration talismans, concealment talismans, teleportation talismans, and various poison pills and incense powders given by the second and third senior brothers." Xiaobai waved his hand, with an air of someone who was giving orders.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two streaks of light streaked across the sky and quickly fled towards the direction of Nanjing City.
However, Wuxiang Pavilion's tracking capabilities far exceeded their imagination.
Along the way, several times, the cold and sticky tracking divine consciousness was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it almost locked onto them.
"Oh my god, are these guys like dog-skin plasters? I can't get rid of them even if I shake them off." Xiaobai puffed up his cheeks in anger.
Fortunately, she was smart and always threw out all kinds of strange trap talismans at the critical moment.
Then there were chain explosions, which blew the pursuer into a mess.
Sometimes they would overlay magic array talismans to make them spin in place.
After a while, the special edition "bewitching incense" talisman given by the third senior brother came out, making the enemy dizzy.
Even so, there are still dangers everywhere.
"Wow, Jinggan, the 'Life-saving Talisman Gift Pack' that Second Senior Brother gave me is almost empty." Xiaobai looked at the rapidly decreasing number of talismans in his storage bag, feeling like crying but without the tears.
"And there's also the 'Rapid Recovery Pill' that Senior Brother Three refined. I've almost finished it as candy."
If they continue to be pursued like this, their little savings will probably be emptied out.
The road ahead is long, with powerful enemies behind, and a junior brother who is like a "time bomb".
How far is Nanjing City?
Xiaobai didn't know that not long after they left, a familiar figure also followed them to Baiyun City. He listened to the people in the city talking about Qingfeng Jue, saw Xiaobai's name, and then followed in the direction of Xiaobai and the others.
When he saw the familiar talisman along the way, the gentle and elegant face of the powdered man changed instantly.
Looking at the assassins sent by Wuxiang Pavilion who returned empty-handed and in a dishevel, there was a breath of death in their eyes.
After finally killing the last person, Nangong Wentian knew Xiaobai's whereabouts. The evil spirit in his body gradually weakened, and he had the temperament of a scholar again.
"Junior sister, I finally found you. I have dealt with all those who were chasing you." The man whispered with a faint smile on his face.
If you ignore the corpses all around him, he really is a different kind of gentleman and easy-going.
The two streams of light disappeared and finally arrived at the destination.
The majestic outline of Nanjing City is in sight. There are crowds of people in front of the city gate, and the atmosphere is mixed, which is a good place to hide.
The two looked at each other, and the illusion on their bodies was quietly lifted.
Xiaobai, who was covered in dust but couldn't hide her charm, and the incomparably handsome Jinggan appeared again.
But there was a person lying quietly on Jing Gan's back.
Yan Jinjin.
"We're finally here." Xiaobai let out a long sigh and rubbed his sore arms.
It was a rough journey, and even though she had a strong foundation, she still found it a bit overwhelming.
"Let's find a place to stay and make long-term plans." Jing Gan said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping across the Yan family mansion not far away.
The mansion was of extraordinary grandeur, with majestic stone lions in front of the gate and a hidden magic array flowing through it, giving off an aura that kept strangers away.
"It doesn't seem right to just go over there like this." Xiaobai also saw the gate of the mansion and frowned.
"Just knock on the door and say we found your lost child?"
"They must have thought we were human traffickers or had done something bad and wanted to extort us."
"Then sneak in at night?"
"It's even worse. What if they treat me as an assassin?"
"Woo woo, little brother is like this, we are simply speechless and can't explain it."
Just as the two were worrying, the aroma of food wafted over.
"Gurgle~" Xiaobai's stomach growled honestly.
"Let's eat something first." Jing Gan smiled helplessly and walked towards a steaming wonton stall next to him.
The stall owner is a kind old man.
"Two bowls of wontons, with more cilantro." Xiaobai ordered skillfully.
Eating the hot wontons dispelled a lot of fatigue.
Xiaobai slurped his soup while listening to the movements around him.
This market place is often the place with the most updated information.
Sure enough, the whispered conversation of a few monk-like diners at the next table drifted into her ears.
"Have you heard? The Yan family has been in trouble recently."
"What's wrong? Did you offend some force?"
"No, it seems to be an internal matter..."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"Just a few days ago, the most talented young master in their family was killed on his way home."
"What? Master Yan, isn't he known as the best weapon refiner of the younger generation?"
"Yes, I heard that although the person was not killed, a lot of guards were killed. The Yan family was furious and is now investigating the traitor."
"Tsk tsk, it's not uncommon for big families to fight for power and profit."
"If this one dies, the one who takes over will continue the normal operation."
Xiaobai paused holding the bowl, and his face suddenly became serious.
The eldest son of the Yan family? Killed? An insider?
She and Jing Gan exchanged a solemn look.
This melon is a bit hot.
"Jing Gan," Xiao Bai put down the bowl and lowered his voice very low, "The Yan family seems to be in internal strife now."
"If we send our little brother back now, will he run into a gun?"
"What if...what if the person who attacked him was someone from the Yan family?"
"Then Junior Brother, isn't he just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den?"
The more Xiaobai thought about it, the more scared he became, and his face turned pale.
Jing Gan's brows were also tightly furrowed.
He originally thought that by finding the Yan family, he would be able to solve Yan Jinjin's troubles.
Now it seems that things are far more complicated than we imagined.
The water in the Yan family is very deep.
"You have reason to worry." Jing Gan pondered for a moment, "It is indeed too risky to go there rashly."
"Well, let's find an inn to stay in first."
"You stay at the inn and take care of Jin Jin. I'll go find out the details of the Yan family."
"Let's see how true the rumors of internal strife are and which forces are behind this."
“Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you decide what to do next.”
"Okay." Xiaobai nodded vigorously, with trust written all over his face, "Then you must be careful."
"Don't worry." Jing Gan rubbed her little head.
At the same time, deep inside the Yan family, in the study.
The current head of the Yan family, Yan Tianzheng, was looking at the secret report in his hand with an irritated look on his face.
Recently, the attempts and attacks against the Yan family have become more and more frequent.
The rumors outside about his eldest son being killed and his disciples suffering heavy casualties were just smokescreens he deliberately released.
The so-called "ambushes" were nothing more than a warning to a few restless elders from side branches of the family.
