Chapter 8: Temporary Residence in Hualin City



"This world is really not peaceful anywhere." Yi Ming looked at Hualin City and shook his head secretly.

The Hualin City in front of us is slightly larger than Linluo City. The wall is five meters high. Mottled marks can be seen on the wall. These marks were caused by either magic or the claws of ferocious beasts.

"Go to the Deke Building and wait for me. I'll go contact the guests."

As soon as they entered the city, Lin Tingyang sent Yi Ming and others to Dekelou. This was the restaurant they often visited when they came to Hualin City. It was located in the civilian area in the south of the city. The prices were affordable and the place was large, making it a favorite of people like them who were from the underworld.

"Okay!" Zhao Xiaopeng shouted and drove the cart to turn at the next intersection. He had been to Dekelou several times and was very familiar with it.

Yi Ming glanced at Lin Tingyang and followed Zhao Xiaopeng.

He wanted to follow Lin Tingyang to see what was going on, but he was worried that his strength would be discovered by the Li family, which would cause trouble.

"Well, what Xiao Yi said makes some sense. We have come all this way, and it would be embarrassing to go back empty-handed. Let's stay at Dekelou for a few days. I will go to ask the familiar shops."

The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!

"Sit down!" Lin Tingyang scolded, "If they're out of stock, then they're out of stock. It's not like we haven't encountered this kind of thing before. Why are you banging the table?"

However, where do so many changes come from in the world? Do you think you are writing a novel? Therefore, the possibility that the Lin family is going out of business recently has reached 99%. Maybe before we receive new business, the news of the Lin family's destruction will reach Hualin City.

"Okay!" several people responded.

"Chief Escort, where are we going to load the goods tomorrow?" asked Yan Lao Hu.

"Now that the stuff has been delivered, the Li family shouldn't make things difficult for an ordinary person like the Chief Escort, right? It's really unpleasant to have one's fate controlled by others..."

Now he had delivered the escort safely, and he had already fulfilled his promise to the Lin family. Now he was just staying in Hualin City waiting for business, and the Lin family would not be able to find him.

"What? You make us rush to Hualin City, and then tell us there is no work. Aren't you kidding us?" Zhao Xiaopeng got angry when he heard that, and slammed the table and shouted.

Lin Tingyang was angry, so Zhao Xiaopeng naturally didn't dare to speak. He sat down awkwardly and muttered, "I'm just angry. It's a waste of time."

As he said this, he bowed to the guests who were eating around him as an apology.

"Let me ask you, which escort agency do you think stole our business? Was it Dingtai Escort Agency or Feiyang Escort Agency?" Zhao Xiaopeng repeated.

What if I go back and the Lin family asks me to escort them again? Just because I was not discovered by the Duan family this time, it doesn't mean I won't be discovered by the Duan family in the future.

"How come even if we went there in vain, we still can't get back the deposit?" Lin Tingyang said casually while taking out a few silver ingots and throwing them to the four people sitting there.

"Tomorrow is fine. Let's wait until the afternoon before setting off. You have the whole morning, go buy something for your wife and children." Lin Tingyang scolded Zhao Xiaopeng with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a pearl flower for Xiao Cui?"

Thinking of this, Yi Ming nodded and silently gave himself a thumbs up, "Perfect!"

"Okay, let's eat!" Lin Tingyang laughed, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Judging from the Li family's previous performance, they have already made the decision to abandon the Lin family. How could they make a move halfway? Unless something unexpected happens again, such as the Duan family's backer suddenly dies, or the Lin family suddenly has a very strong backer.

"That makes sense!" Lin Tingyang stroked his beard and muttered to himself, but then he became a little worried. He didn't know when the Duan family and the Lin family would decide the winner. He couldn't wait indefinitely in Hualin City. "Whatever, I can hide for a few days. It's better than going back and waiting anxiously for the Lin family to come again."

"Hehe." Zhao Xiaopeng's expression changed very quickly. He took the silver with a smile, not showing any embarrassment at all. "Thank you, Chief Escort."

The Lin family probably doesn't know about this, and no one in the Duan family would suspect that the Dalin Escort Agency killed the monk. They would only suspect that the Lin family set a trap and cut off one of their fingers.

"Uh... I don't know..."

"Huh?" Lin Tingyang was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this.

Although Yi Ming proposed to stay in Hualin City under the pretext of waiting for business, and we don't know the inside story, this proposal is indeed very worthwhile.

Yan Lao Hu and Lu Dali also thanked Lin Tingyang, and then gave up their seats to Lin Tingyang.

“I don’t know how the Li family will react. If they continue to pretend not to know, then the Lin family will be in danger. If they really send experts to the Lin family, I’m afraid the two families will remain deadlocked for a while, waiting for the powerful cultivator from the Duan family to appear to break the balance.”

"What?"

Half a while later, Yi Ming and his companions had just sat down in the Deke Building and ordered a large table of dishes, including wine and meat. However, before they started eating, they saw Lin Tingyang step into the restaurant.

Yi Ming curled his lips secretly.

Yi Ming certainly knew that no escort agency had taken away his business, because this business did not exist at all. It was just a cover for Lin Tingyang to come to Hualin City.

On the other side, Yi Ming smiled slightly. He had killed a cultivator from the Duan family on the road. This was a big blow to the Duan family because no one from the Lin family had died at that time.

"Xiao Ming, which escort agency do you think has taken away our business?" Zhao Xiaopeng asked Yi Ming after returning to the room.

"Chief Escort!"

"We're out of stock." Lin Tingyang waved his hand, his expression showing a sense of relief and self-mockery, "The negotiation fell through."

"Will the Li family take action? Haha, of course not. Knowing that the other party has a bigger and stronger backer than themselves, why would they take action? Send someone to die? Even if the Li family has a stronger backer, there is a cost-effectiveness in saving people. Is it necessary to use the backer to rescue the Lin family?

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Tingyang wiped his mouth with his hand, found the shopkeeper to renew the lease of the guest room for a few more days, told everyone to rest, and went back to his room alone.

All the members of the Lin family are dead, so naturally there is no evidence to prove the affair of the Duan family cultivator."

Lin Tingyang was not worried that the Lin family would vent their anger on the entire escort agency, because even he was just a big ant in the eyes of the Lin family. Since nothing went wrong, there was naturally no danger.

"Humph, if I knew that..."

"How is it?" Yi Ming glanced at Zhao Xiaopeng, "I noticed that you have become arrogant recently. Can you beat Chief Wang of Dingtai Escort Agency, or Chief Chang of Feiyang Escort Agency?"

"Uh..." Zhao Xiaopeng was speechless, "Is it not okay for me to curse silently in my heart?"

"OK!"
