The next day, the maid brought breakfast to the room in the backyard and placed it on the table before Lin Xiaofei got up, sat down, and slowly enjoyed his breakfast alone.
While eating breakfast, Lin Xiaofei thought to himself:
Jiang Daoguang is staying in my spatial bead, which makes me have to be careful when entering and leaving it. This is affecting me to some extent, so it seems I have to release him.
Yesterday, during his escape from the alley, he was ambushed by a cultivator. While fleeing, he hid in the spatial bead, first observing Jiang Daoguang's movements before instantly entering the bead and knocking Jiang Daoguang unconscious, thus preventing Jiang Daoguang from noticing anything unusual.
If they encounter someone else chasing them again and don't have time to observe Jiang Daoguang's movements, once they step into the spatial bead, it will arouse Jiang Daoguang's suspicion and may even lead him to discover the secret of his spatial bead.
"Young Master Lin, there are two men claiming to be your senior brothers. They've come looking for you?"
The maid, Xiao Hong, entered the room from the doorway and hurriedly said.
Lin Xiaofei, who was deep in thought, was startled. He turned to look at Xiao Hong, hesitated for a moment, and said, "
Did those two men who claimed to be my senior brothers introduce themselves?
Xiao Hong shook her head and said:
I asked them, but they didn't answer me. They said they wanted me to go out and meet them.
Moreover, they looked quite menacing, which was a bit intimidating.
"Okay, I'll go to the front yard right away."
Lin Xiaofei nodded and said something, but he was a little confused and thought to himself:
Two senior brothers? Who could they be?
In the front courtyard living room, two inner disciples of the Qingfeng Gang were sitting in chairs, drinking tea and chatting.
"Senior Brother Ma, Lin Xiaofei is just an ordinary peak-level cultivator. Does he really possess Senior Brother Xu Chen's treasured sword?"
One of them took a sip of tea and asked in a low voice.
I'm not sure either.
However, some people say that Lin Xiaofei had a black longsword hanging at his waist on his way back from a mission some time ago.
My friend Xu Chen died in that mission. When I heard someone say that Lin Xiaofei took Xu Chen's sword, I became suspicious of Lin Xiaofei.
I also helped forge Xu Chen's precious sword. That sword took a lot of Xu Chen's effort and more than 50,000 taels of silver to make.
Since my friend's precious sword might fall into the hands of an ordinary peak-level cultivator, I naturally have to take it from him. Otherwise, it would be such a waste for such a fine sword to fall into the hands of a weakling.
"Once Lin Xiaofei comes out, if he obediently hands over the sword, we'll let him go. Otherwise, after dark, we'll sneak in, capture him, interrogate him, and then kill him."
Brother Ma smiled and said in a low voice.
“Brother Ma, if Lin Xiaofei is unwilling to hand over the sword, why wait until night?”
"With Senior Brother Ma's Inner Qi Realm cultivation, I reckon if he just releases a little bit of his pressure, Lin Xiaofei will definitely hand over the sword obediently."
The young martial artist smiled and said.
In his eyes, Lin Xiaofei was just an ordinary peak-level martial artist. Although he had heard that Lin Xiaofei could easily defeat martial artists of the same level, ordinary peak-level martial artists were far too weak in front of martial artists of the Inner Qi Realm.
Would a weak person dare to resist a strong person?
The young martial artist believed that Lin Xiaofei would either hand over the sword or tell Senior Brother Ma the truth.
After finishing the last bite of breakfast, Lin Xiaofei felt full and then walked towards the front yard.
Upon entering the front courtyard living room, Lin Xiaofei saw two people dressed in the robes of Qingfeng Gang inner disciples, sitting in chairs drinking tea.
I glanced at the two people; one was middle-aged, and the other was young.
Lin Xiaofei frowned slightly; he didn't recognize either of them.
He used his Illusionary Eye Technique, and with a flash of his eyes, he discovered that one of the two people was at the peak of the Inner Qi realm, and the other was at the peak of the Flowing Realm.
Lin Xiaofei was puzzled. These two people were quite strong, so why were they looking for him?
The young man saw Lin Xiaofei standing at the back door of the living room and whispered something to Senior Brother Ma:
"Brother Ma, he's out."
Brother Ma turned his head and saw that next to Lin Xiaofei was a black cat that was bigger than a dog.
"Um?"
Senior Brother Ma's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, a slight smile playing on his lips as he thought to himself:
Could this black cat be a strange beast?
Having made his judgment, he was surprised to find that Lin Xiaofei actually had a strange beast cat, and he was immediately overjoyed.
You should know that if a martial artist has a mythical beast pet, it's like having an extra helper, which is something many martial artists dream of.
Originally, he only came to ask Lin Xiaofei about Xu Chen's sword, but now he has another goal: to obtain this exotic cat.
Lin Xiaofei glanced at the two men silently, noticing their excited expressions as if something good had happened. He then took a few steps forward and said, "
"May I ask what business you two have with me?"
"There is something that concerns you, and we intend to ask you about it. We hope you will tell us the truth."
More than ten days ago, someone saw you wearing a black sword on your waist on the way to Hongshan Shuiwan. That black sword belonged to Steward Xu Chen.
We hope you'll hand over that precious sword, or don't blame us for being impolite.
The young martial artist stood up, smiled, and while speaking, stared into Lin Xiaofei's eyes, looking him up and down to observe whether Lin Xiaofei had any unusual expressions. If he sensed something was wrong, he would give Lin Xiaofei a warning, thus making Lin Xiaofei confess honestly.
"That is indeed true."
Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly and said.
"Is that Cold Light Sword really in your hands?"
Senior Brother Ma, who was standing to the side, was taken aback by Lin Xiaofei's direct answer. He was excited and immediately stood up from his chair, asking in surprise.
The young man was also a little surprised, even somewhat disbelieving. How could Lin Xiaofei directly admit to obtaining that precious sword? This was too illogical.
If he obtained the sword himself, he would definitely hide it, and he wouldn't tell the truth even if someone asked.
"Yes, that sword is indeed in my hands."
Lin Xiaofei paused, then said, "
but......"
"That would be great."
Senior Brother Ma was looking very happy when he suddenly paused and quickly said:
But what?
"However, that precious sword is not currently on my person, nor is it in my courtyard."
Lin Xiaofei said calmly.
"The sword isn't with you? Then who did you sell it to?"
Senior Brother Ma's expression immediately changed, and he quickly pressed for an answer.
He came to find Lin Xiaofei this time mainly for the Cold Light Sword. When he heard Lin Xiaofei say that the sword was not on him, he thought that Lin Xiaofei did not know its value and had sold it.
