“It feels like a cannon hitting a fly. If Chai Xian is infatuated and is willing to kill Chai Lan’s father, then as long as Chai LAN is hidden and used as a hostage, he will not leave Xiang Zhou.
“So, there’s more to this case than meets the eye, and it’s not as simple as it seems.
“Let’s trace back to the source and start investigating from the chai family ..
Xu Qi ‘an flicked his hand and burned the paper to ashes. He threw it into the small celadon water tank and left the inn.
An hour later, the innkeeper sat behind the counter, fiddling with an Abacus and arranging the accounts.
A gentle voice that was chanting the name of Buddha came to his ears.
“Amitabha!”
The shopkeeper looked up and saw a monk with the characteristics of a Western regioner. He was wearing a robe that was convenient for traveling, calm and reserved.
“Master, do you want to stay in the inn or do you want to go to the peak?” The shopkeeper was all smiles.
He had been running this Inn in Xiang Zhou for most of his life and had seen the monk countless times. In the Central Plains, Buddhist monks were “rare.” The young monk put his hands together and said in a gentle tone, ”
I want to ask if a man and a woman have been staying in the shop recently. The man is wearing green clothes and the woman is plain-looking, and they are riding a war Horse.
The monk’s words seemed to have the power to convince people. A strange feeling rose in the shopkeeper’s heart, as if the monk opposite him was a dignified father.
“There is such a pair of guests.”
The shopkeeper replied honestly, “I don’t have any impression of a plain-looking couple, but I know who Grandmaster is talking about when you mention warhorses.” But unfortunately, this guest has just checked out and left.”
“Thank you for telling me, shopkeeper,” Jingxin said with a nod.
Late at night, Chai Manor.
A shadow sneaked silently in the dark. The torch of the patrolling guards distorted the reflection of the Green Belt, and for a moment, the shadow was revealed.
However, in the next moment, it disappeared without a sound and appeared in the darkness further away, continuing to head towards its destination.
Soon, he arrived at a small, secluded courtyard.
He didn’t enter immediately because there were many more guards around the small courtyard, and there was no lack of spirit forging stage martial artists.
However, the black shadow did not retreat because of this. He took a detour and came to the back of the small courtyard.
Inside the room, the candlelight was bright, and the rich smell of meat filled the room. Three men were sitting around the table, eating an antique soup, which was also a hot pot.
Ever since Chai Xian had invaded the underground cellar, the chai residence had strengthened its defenses.
Not only did they send more men outside, but there were also experts “stationed” in the house day and night.
Xu Qi ‘an stood outside the house one wall away and sensed with rapt attention.
The three people inside are all martial artists above the spirit-forging stage.. sneak attack will only make them sense my presence in advance, and thus attract the guards outside … In the past, I would probably have to force my way in, but now I’m no longer a crude martial artist.”
A dozen seconds later, in a hole in the ground, a sleeping rat woke up and opened its blood-red eyes.
This was not an ordinary rat. Its entire body was filled with poison, and the poison spurted out as it breathed, infecting all the living creatures around it.
Inside the house!
“Why did Chai Xian come back?”
A tall and sturdy man said.
I heard from the elders that he’s looking for Xiao LAN. This madman thought that Xiao LAN had been killed and is hiding in the cellar.
“Didn’t he take Xiao LAN away?” the other man shook his head.
