After killing Zhu San, Lin Xiaofei did not plan to return to Qingshan Town via the official road. Instead, he traveled through the mountains and forests to avoid being discovered by others.
With a light leap, he soared into the air, his feet landing on tree branches, and practiced his lightness technique as he headed towards Qingshan Town.
After walking for a while, Lin Xiaofei stopped in the wilderness outside Qingshan Town and waited for night to fall.
Before we knew it, the sun was setting and night was falling.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Lin Xiaofei disguised himself simply to make himself less recognizable before entering through the city gate.
On the dark streets, many people walked quickly, hurrying home, while Lin Xiaofei walked briskly along one side of the street.
Before long, he arrived at the side of an alley and looked at a large restaurant not far away.
This restaurant is Qingfeng Restaurant.
Lin Xiaofei glanced around and saw that many people were passing by Qingfeng Restaurant on the street, while others went straight into the restaurant.
Seeing that there were many people and eyes in front of the restaurant, Lin Xiaofei circled around Qingfeng Restaurant and came to the backyard. He leaped up and in an instant, his body was airborne, and he landed on the courtyard wall as light as a swallow.
When Zhu San told him that Qian Ming had sent people to kill him, Lin Xiaofei was completely determined to kill.
He knew that once Qian Ming found out he was still alive, he would definitely not let it go. Rather than waiting to be assassinated by Qian Ming again, he would rather carry out a nighttime attack and send the other party directly to the underworld. Only in this way could he cultivate in peace.
This time, Zhu San lured him out of town. Although he went through a fierce battle, he also gained a lot of benefits, especially his martial arts skills, which greatly improved. He cultivated to the peak of the entry level, and now when he unleashes a full-force attack, he already has the strength of an internal energy martial artist.
With his immortal techniques, especially his perfected spells, which are more powerful than before, dealing with Qian Ming should not be a problem.
Lin Xiaofei glanced around and, seeing no one moving in the backyard, lightly jumped into the yard, then disguised himself as a waiter and sneaked into the kitchen.
Soon, Lin Xiaofei, dressed as a waiter, picked up a jar of wine in each hand, walked out of the kitchen, and headed towards a large private room on the third floor.
Upon arriving at the private room, Lin Xiaofei heard people talking loudly inside. He gently pushed open the door and glanced around.
There were more than a dozen familiar faces, each sitting at a huge round table, all holding wine bowls and drinking with Qian Ming.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Lin Xiaofei quickly went over, placed the two jars of wine in his hand next to Qian Ming, then walked out of the private room, picked up a few more jars of wine, and put them into the room.
"They all thought I was a waiter delivering wine, and they didn't even give me a second glance, making all my dressing up for nothing."
After delivering ten jars of wine, Lin Xiaofei walked out of the private room, closed the door, and thought to himself.
Then, Lin Xiaofei quickly left Qingfeng Restaurant to avoid being recognized by the people in the restaurant as a fake waiter.
Soon, he stood at the entrance of a dark alley, staring at the entrance of Qingfeng Restaurant, watching one person after another walk out.
"Why aren't you coming out yet? If you don't come out soon, the drug will probably take effect, and then we won't be able to assassinate Qian Ming tonight."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself with a hint of anxiety.
An hour ago, he put a kind of powder into the wine jars he sent into the private room. This powder would prevent martial artists from circulating their internal energy for a period of time, up to an hour later.
Just as they were hesitating about whether to give up tonight's assassination attempt, a group of people walked out of the Qingfeng Restaurant, including Qian Ming and Steward Xu.
After exchanging greetings, they parted ways, while Steward Xu helped Qian Ming walk into an alley, which led towards Qian Ming's residence.
"Master, Manager Wan just told me privately that as long as we support him to become the Right Protector, one-third of the profits from the Qingfeng Gang branch will go to us. In addition, the other three managers have accepted our gifts and will also support your decision."
A slightly aged voice came out.
"That's great. However, before this is finalized, we still need to take proactive steps to try and bring some of the key managers under our control."
By the way, how's the thing I asked Zhu San to do for me?
With a slight laugh, Qian Ming said, somewhat tipsy.
"Zhu San came to see me today and said that the four mid-level martial artists he sent out did not return last night. However, he said that as long as Lin Xiaofei goes towards Xiepo Village, he will definitely be killed."
"Qian Ming's butler," said Master Xu.
"The four of them haven't returned yet. Presumably, Lin Xiaofei didn't go in the direction of Xiepo Village. Otherwise, if Lin Xiaofei had been killed, they would have returned long ago."
If I'm not mistaken, Lin Xiaofei went to Sangye Village. If that's the case, then Lin Xiaofei is doomed.
After smiling and thinking for a moment, Qian Ming said with certainty.
"Hmm? Sir, look at the alley ahead."
As Master Xu was helping Qian Ming walk, he suddenly saw that the alley ahead was even darker. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was filled with a large amount of fog, and there were also more than a dozen strange beasts standing there, waiting for them to come.
"What's going on?"
Qian Ming glanced at it, shook his head, and became more alert. He then looked behind him and saw a person dressed in a Taoist robe and wearing a veil standing there. He was immediately startled, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, and said:
"How dare you block my way! Who are you, sir? Would you dare to state your name?"
Qian Ming was wary, but since this was in Qingshan Town and not too far from the Qingfeng Gang, he believed that no one would dare to assassinate him alone, so he wasn't too panicked. He was just a little curious about who had blocked his way.
Upon closer inspection, Qian Ming noticed the man was wearing a Taoist robe. Startled, he saw two Qilin (mythical creatures) and a floating golden scissors appear out of thin air beside the man. He seemed to understand something and exclaimed, "..."
Oh, it's Brother Yang Tianyou. Why are you blocking my way?
"By the way, Brother Yang, you must have harvested a large number of Yin-attribute herbs during your trip to Mulberry Leaf Village. What do you think of the gift I gave you?"
He had dealt with Yang Tianyou a few times before and saw that Yang Tianyou wore a Taoist robe and could make a small sword float. Since there were only a few cultivators in Qingshan Town, he guessed that the other party was Yang Tianyou.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei was taken aback, then smiled slightly, not expecting that Qian Ming would mistake him for Yang Tianyou.
However, he did not answer the other party. With a wave of his hand, the seventeen Yin-cold Beast Kings on the other side of the alley instantly sprang into action and rushed towards Qian Ming and Steward Xu.
With a flick of his other hand, he summoned the scissor-shaped magical artifacts floating beside him, along with two menacing Qilin, which charged forward.
After waiting a moment, seeing that the other party didn't speak, and that a group of strange beasts were rushing over, Qian Ming was startled, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly said:
No, you're not Yang Tianyou. Who are you?
In this Qingshan Town, you, a cultivator, actually attacked the Left Protector of the Qingfeng Gang branch. This will not do you any good.
If you're asking for something in return, just say so, and I can become your friend.
Having witnessed the methods of cultivators, Qian Ming knew he might not be a match for one, so he quickly listed a bunch of benefits, hoping the other party would back down.
