Chapter 33

In the past, Luo Yan would never reveal the information so easily, but for her now, it would do her no good to continue keeping it secret.

"I wonder if the shopkeeper remembers the man in black who traveled with us last time?"

Shen Yuqing nodded. Not only did he remember, he also lured the man to the inn to work as a waiter.

"Except for the owner Yanluo, the staff of Yanluo Tower mainly consists of a judge, two impermanence, a Mengpo, and three assassins of upper, middle and lower levels. The one I just mentioned is Lord Black Impermanence of Yanluo Tower. The position of Mengpo has been vacant. My brother and I are the top assassins of Yanluo Tower. However, Lord Black Impermanence defected not long ago and destroyed many of Yanluo Tower's dark spots."

"As for this time, my brother and I were originally carrying out the mission very smoothly, but someone betrayed us, my brother was poisoned, and the original pursuit turned into an escape. Everything happened very suddenly." Luo Yan's face looked a little ugly when he said this. "I just learned the news not long ago that the owner of the building was missing. Some people said that the judge seized power and killed the owner of the building. I don't know whether the news is true or not. No one has seen the owner's body, but I think the authenticity of this news is very high."

Shen Yuqing looked at Luo Yan thoughtfully, "Why?"

"In the past two months, the assassins of Yanluo Tower have suffered heavy losses while carrying out missions. Many familiar faces have disappeared, and many new faces have appeared among the assassins. This is most likely a major purge to seize power. As for this mission of my brother and I, it was too smooth at the beginning, but the sudden betrayal and the appearance of the pursuer made me sure that the information of the mission was leaked. Perhaps this mission was originally a trap to eliminate us, the assassins hired by the owner of the building himself."

Luo Yan took a deep breath and continued, "There is one more thing. The people who were chasing my brother seemed to have received other tasks and let my brother and I escape. Maybe they were confident enough in the poison, or maybe we would not pose a threat to them even if we were lucky enough to survive. But this also shows that they are not my brother and I's enemies. After all, no one will let the killer escape. This also proves my guess. As a killer, as long as you are soft-hearted, you will die. This is the truth taught to us by the martial arts world. My heart can only accommodate my brother, so even if the owner of the building has a favor for me, I can't fight against the entire Yanluo Building for this little friendship. The people who are chasing us naturally understand this truth, and this is also the reason why they didn't press us step by step."

Shen Yuqing couldn't help but think of the cause of Tu Laoliu's death. It seemed that Luo Yan's inference was indeed somewhat reasonable.

"Is there anyone in Yanluo Tower who wears a silver mask and is good at using a sword?"

Luo Yan pondered for a moment and shook his head, "The killers in Yanluo Tower are not closely connected. As far as I can remember, I have never seen anyone who matches the description given by the shopkeeper."

It seems that the person who attacked Ye Yunhao that day was most likely not the killer of Yanluo Tower. However, as Luo Yan said, many new faces have appeared in Yanluo Tower recently, so it is too early to judge the identity of that person.

After getting the information she wanted, Shen Yuqing smiled slightly, "Miss Luo has been taking care of her brother. I think she hasn't had dinner yet. Why don't you come with me to the front yard? Uncle Li is a great cook."

Luo Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head to refuse. Although she could feel that the shopkeeper in front of her had no ill intentions, the feeling she had from the two waiters in the inn was not very good. Moreover, her brother was still lying in bed. She really had no appetite to eat. She just wanted to stay by her brother's side, hoping that he would see her first when he woke up.

Shen Yuqing did not force him. Before parting ways with him, he simply said, "Mr. Luo will probably wake up at night, but he will fall asleep again after waking up. Please don't worry, this is normal. Although the poison in his body has been removed, his internal strength cannot be fully restored in a short period of time. I suggest that you should focus on recuperating. As for the person who poisoned him, there is no rush to take revenge."

Luo Yan was startled. She really wanted to kill the betrayer with a thousand knives. After hearing what the other party said, her worry about her brother was greater than her hatred for that person. She nodded and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper. I understand."

When Shen Yuqing returned to the front yard, Li Fuchun was grilling shrimps. The river shrimps were grilled to a golden brown and brushed with a secret seasoning that made people's appetite increase greatly.

Seeing Shen Yuqing coming back, Li Fuchun said with a smile: "Wait a little longer and the shrimp will be ready. It's just in time for the shopkeeper to come back."

Several people stayed in the courtyard from dusk until the sky was full of stars. Shen Yuqing drank the last sip of wine in the glass and stretched his body. Today's barbecue at the inn ended here.

Shen Yuqing likes to drink, but that doesn't mean he likes to be surrounded by the smell of alcohol, so after returning to the room, he took off his clothes and buried his body in hot water.

"call..."

Shen Yuqing's body gradually relaxed, and a faint glow flowed on his skin above the water. He reached out his hand to gather his hair behind his head. Without the cover of the black hair, the hideous scar on his chest was instantly exposed.

Looking at the scar on his chest, Shen Yuqing let out a breath slowly. He still remembered all the details of the battle in which the enemy stabbed his chest bit by bit with his weapon, so he also clearly remembered that when he first came to this world, the chest of this body was smooth and flat. Now, except for the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, this body is no different from his original body.

After the smell of alcohol was replaced by mint and white tea scented shower gel, Shen Yuqing dried his body and put on his clothes. He held a battery-powered hair dryer in his hand and blew his hair while sighing at the benefits of being an inn owner. He could enjoy hot water anytime and anywhere. This alone was enough to make many people envious.

Shen Yuqing was still humming the Little Crocodile's Bathing Song when a knock on the door suddenly interrupted his movements.

After repeatedly making sure that the people outside the door didn't hear her singing, Shen Yuqing put the hair dryer back into her backpack and opened the door.

"What's the matter?" Perhaps because her body was relaxed after taking a bath, Shen Yuqing's voice even became a little softer.

When Wuming saw Shen Yuqing's rosy skin and slightly wet hair, he guessed that the shopkeeper had just been taking a shower.

Looking at Shen Yuqing who was only wearing a thin shirt, Wuming suddenly felt that it was a bit reckless for him to come to the shopkeeper, completely forgetting that he might disturb the other person's rest.

Seeing Wuming standing there without saying anything, Shen Yuqing leaned over and said, "Come in."

"Is there something you want to tell me?" Shen Yuqing placed the poured tea in front of Wuming.

Wuming nodded. What happened today between Luo Yan and his sister made him realize that he should be more honest with the shopkeeper.

"Someone once approached the OP to discuss cooperation. I don't know the details. Although the conversation between the OP and that person was not pleasant, the two of them still reached some kind of agreement."

Shen Yuqing raised his eyebrows slightly. He was indeed curious about these things. If he didn't like the grudges and love in the martial arts world, he wouldn't have played this game in the first place.

"Since the conversation was not pleasant, but they were able to get your host to compromise and cooperate, the other party must have enough bargaining chips."

Shen Yuqing's eyes flickered slightly. Although curiosity killed the cat, if he really encountered danger, not to mention his two friends who had good martial arts skills, he could just call for help from Shuangbei. Shen Yuqing was extremely confident in Shuangbei's strength.

Shuangbei: Is this another level of narcissism?

Shen Yuqing: Tsk... We've been apart for so long that our feelings have faded. Now you find fault with even the compliments you give, saying you're heartless, cold, and unreasonable.

Shuangbei: It's my fault. I apologize. Please be normal.

Shen Yuqing: Are you scared? When I go crazy, even I get scared!

Yun Wuque: Cat, cat is speechless.
