"Thank you for telling me, brave man. We roughnecks are used to using crude language all the time when we're out and about!"
"If this is misunderstood, it's not worth losing your life!"
The impetuous scholar felt a chill of fear upon hearing the man's words.
He's a bit careless with his words; he just blurts out "mother" and "father" without thinking.
If you were to run into a Taoist priest from Niutou Mountain and get slashed to death, there would be no one to complain to.
"It's fate that we met. We're all brothers who've eaten at the same restaurant, so it's only right!"
The burly man seemed a little embarrassed after being thanked.
However, since everyone was a member of the martial arts world, they quickly changed the subject.
"I suppose everyone is going to Mount Jiuguniang?"
"Why don't we travel together? That way we can reduce the dangers we might encounter on the road!"
Sure enough, the next second, the burly man revealed his purpose.
Some people were tempted, while others remained calm.
Not everyone needs to rely on numbers to bolster their courage.
Listening to their discussion, Lin Xue asked the woman in red next to her in a low voice.
"Red-clothed, what do you think of what they said?"
Lin Xue had a vague recollection of her encounter with Mount Jiuguniang.
It seems the original owner had heard about this matter, but did not participate at the time.
It is said that this opportunity was a martial arts manual left behind by a senior master.
Experts from all sides gathered at Mount Jiuguniang.
Ultimately, this opportunity fell into the hands of an unknown junior.
This person later left Nanling County and is said to have done quite well in the East China Sea.
The original owner didn't pay attention to what happened afterward, so she didn't know anything about it.
"I've also heard a little about what happened at Mount Jiuguniang. Elder Yang from our gang led a group there."
"Elder Yang is in charge of this matter, but I don't know the specifics!"
"I heard they've discovered a valley trapped by a formation, and quite a few experts have tried to enter, but unfortunately, they've all failed!"
The woman in red rubbed her temples, carefully recalling the information about the matter.
Although she didn't handle the matter herself, she still had some understanding of the whole story.
Now that Lin Xue has asked her casually, it's already quite impressive that she can answer so much.
"I've finished eating, I'm going upstairs to rest!"
"Tell them to keep an eye on things at Mount Jiuguniang. Who knows, I might want to go and join the fun!"
Lin Xue didn't care about those troublesome martial arts manuals; she had more manuals than anyone else.
I'm just interested in the matter itself.
If things at Jinlong Restaurant can be resolved in time, I'll definitely go and join in the fun.
This world is very interesting.
It should be considered a decent low-level martial arts world.
Although the concentration of spiritual energy in the air is not high, it should not be difficult to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage.
If you want to go further, it's almost impossible without a special opportunity.
"Understood!"
Lin Xue put down her chopsticks, and the woman in red also stopped eating.
He exchanged a glance with the woman in white, then followed Lin Xue upstairs.
As Lin Xue passed by the second floor, she clearly sensed something was amiss.
She glanced down the corridor, then left without making a sound.
"Master, have you discovered something?"
The woman in red immediately noticed something was wrong, but unfortunately she didn't see anything in the corridor.
"Just a little mouse!"
The other party's disguise could fool others, but it couldn't fool Lin Xue.
She spotted the person hiding in the corner at a glance.
However, she was very curious as to why the other party was lurking in the Golden Dragon Restaurant.
Therefore, instead of taking immediate action, they decided to observe the situation.
"Do you need a subordinate...?"
The woman in red originally wanted to investigate further, but saw her master shake his head.
"Don't worry about him, we'll talk about it tonight!"
That person wasn't particularly strong; he was just good at hiding his tracks and had excellent lightness skills.
That's why he hasn't been caught yet.
Lin Xue went inside to rest, while Hongyi stood guard at the door.
Just as Lin Xue was sitting at the table reading a book, she suddenly heard a noise by the window.
"hehe!"
"Can't you hold back anymore?"
I originally wanted to let this rat slip up on its own, but I didn't expect it to be so useless when I gave it the chance.
If the person leaves on their own, Lin Xue won't bother to intervene.
But now they're practically begging to come to us.
If she pretends not to see it, wouldn't she be ridiculed?
A gust of wind blew a petal off the flowerpot on the table.
The man had just smugly curled the corners of his mouth when he realized that the person sitting at the table was gone.
"Bang!"
With a thud, the black-clad man was thrown to the ground by Lin Xue.
The loud noise attracted the red-clad guard at the door.
"Owner!"
She was clearly guarding the door the whole time, so when did this person run in?
"Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly. Find out who sent him!"
Lin Xue wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
Even the most skilled and daring person needs to be aware of the strength of their opponent.
They dared to come knocking on our door without even understanding the situation.
All I can say is that she's an idiot!
"Master, Elder Yang has sent word that several experts who can break formations have arrived from Mount Jiuguniang!"
"I heard he's a prized disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Would you like to go and take a look?"
As soon as the woman in red led the man in black away, the woman in white found Lin Xue with a note in her hand.
"Leave the men in black to Chengzi and the others to deal with, and let's head to Mount Jiuguniang tonight!"
I originally thought that if even three second-rate experts couldn't catch a petty thief, how powerful could he be?
