Chapter 25: Encountering Trouble
“Just lucky! Just lucky! Also, many thanks to Mister Wang for looking after me!” Shi Feizhe cupped his fists repeatedly and said.
He was truly lucky!
He had merely eaten at Three Talents Manor for a few days, and he almost lost his life!
Overtime in his previous life’s work was life-consuming, but work in this world was truly life-threatening! If he had died so muddledly, he would definitely be laughed at to death!
Fortunately, his luck was good, and he managed to survive.
As expected, a smiling social animal’s luck wouldn’t be too bad!
“I wonder if Little Brother is going to Yu Province with us or has his own plans?” Hua Xiaomei regained her carefree demeanor, glanced at Mister Wang, and added.
“Uh… Although I’d love to go to Yu Province with Brother Hua, the Jianghu is so vast, I’d like to travel more and see more!” Shi Feizhe thought for a moment and declined.
He felt that this group of people was strange, they didn’t look like good people. However, Hua Xiaomei had given him pointers, so he couldn’t say anything.
It was just that this group of people looked unlucky! He should stay away from them!
With his small frame, he might be drowned by their blood splattering!
“Hmm~ Little Brother has great ambition!” Hua Xiaomei didn’t mind, wild Grand Medicines were more potent, while captive-bred ones lacked a certain flavor.
“If fate allows, we’ll meet again in the Jianghu!” Hua Xiaomei cupped her fists and said.
Next time they meet, perhaps he could harvest this Grand Medicine!
This was the Jianghu! Surprises were everywhere!
“As long as the mountains remain green and the rivers flow, we’ll meet again in the Jianghu!” Shi Feizhe also said.
Hua Xiaomei, along with Huang Wufeng and Jiang Ning, led six or seven people towards Yu Province.
“Why are you so polite to this kind of person?” Jiang Ning couldn’t help but transmit her voice.
“How can you understand the patience and effort required for cultivating Grand Medicines?” Hua Xiaomei said, waving her fan. “Sigh! Now that Three Talents Manor is gone, I wonder if father will be furious.”
“It’s just some external possessions, when has your crazy father ever cared!” Jiang Ning sneered.
“That’s true! That’s true!” Hua Xiaomei nodded.
“Brother Hua, I’ve worked hard for nothing today, why don’t I climb into your bed tonight and let you work hard?” Huang Wufeng said, clinging to Hua Xiaomei.
“Get lost!”
Shi Feizhe returned from Three Talents Manor to the house he rented. He was no longer a member of Three Talents Manor, so there was no need to run away!
He was just a Jianghu newbie who had only been practicing martial arts for a few days, and had made no contribution to Three Talents Manor. As long as he didn’t touch the property of Three Talents Manor, he might even be able to keep accounts for the new Three Talents Manor!
Presumably, after the Yellow Heaven Path took over Three Talents Manor, they would need someone to do the accounting!
However, he waited for a few days full of anticipation. When the people from the Yellow Heaven Path arrived, he was ready to volunteer his services. But he discovered several familiar faces among them.
They were all from the Four Directions Gang!
Could it be that during the time he had been away from Yiyang City, the Four Directions Gang had been absorbed by the Yellow Heaven Path and had started working for them?
He had killed members of the Four Directions Gang, surely after all this time, they would have forgotten about him!
Forget my ass!
Leaving his life in the hands of others was simply too foolish.
When he left Yiyang City, he hadn’t even dealt with Liu Laosan’s corpse. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he didn’t have the time or energy.
Liu Laosan’s body had appeared in his courtyard, and if the Four Directions Gang caught him, they would know who killed him! With his current meager skills, he could handle one strong man, but against two, he definitely wouldn’t stand a chance.
Therefore, he had to run!
Run to Qiuyang City!
During the day, Shi Feizhe hid in his room, packing his belongings. When night fell, he told his landlord that he was going to Yiyang City to join his relatives, then he took advantage of the darkness and walked towards a remote area.
✿✿✿
He took a long detour, heading towards Qiuyang City in the southeast.
There was a faint moonlight tonight, allowing him to see the muddy road clearly, so he wouldn’t be walking blindly in the darkness.
Someone seemed to have said that walking at night again makes one a pig?
He imitated a pig’s snort, grunting twice, thinking to himself, what’s wrong with being a pig!
Pigs could even become generals!
Throughout history, pig tactics have been successfully utilized by people. When pigs attack, they press their backs against the wall, making it impossible to grab their tails…
Over the past half month, he had persisted in practicing martial arts, and his physical fitness had improved significantly compared to before. He no longer felt tired walking at night.
He walked step by step, for who knows how long, until Shi Feizhe was slightly sweating all over. Then he saw a faint flicker of firelight in the distance ahead!
As he got closer, he realized it was a dilapidated temple!
The temple was only about the size of two or three rooms, with only half a door. Through the firelight, he could see a headless statue on the altar inside.
There was a person lying beside the fire.
Hearing the sound of someone approaching, the person opened their eyes vigilantly, grabbing the weapon at their side. Seeing that it was just a young man, Shi Feizhe, they relaxed and lowered their guard.
“Do as you please! If you see anyone coming, hide behind the statue!” The person said weakly to Shi Feizhe. “But I suggest you leave this place.”
Shi Feizhe nodded, he didn’t want any trouble right now!
He turned to leave, but then he saw a flash of saber light coming towards him under the moon! He quickly jumped back, trying to dodge it, but the saber light blocked his escape route. If he jumped back, he would definitely be cut in two.
At that moment, the person lying beside the fire drew their long sword. With a “clang,” a sword light blocked the saber light.
“My friend! He’s just a passerby!” The person said, their face pale.
“Shan Xu! Can you still call me your friend at this moment?” The person wielding the saber said. “It truly shames me, Ye Qiandeng!”
Only then did Shi Feizhe, drenched in cold sweat, feel like he had survived once again.
Damn it, why was everyone in the Jianghu crazy!
“However, he’s not just a passerby, he’s a witness!” Ye Qiandeng continued.
“A witness?”
“A witness to me killing you!”
“There’s nothing wrong with being a witness!”
“His mistake is that he didn’t see my remorse!” Ye Qiandeng said, holding his saber.
It’s so dark, who the hell could see your remorse!
Shi Feizhe scrambled into the dilapidated temple, the entrance already blocked by him. Going out meant certain death!
The saber in Ye Qiandeng’s hand resembled both a Tang saber and a Yanling saber. The blade was long but narrow, gleaming coldly under the moonlight.
Shan Xu rose from the fire, holding a sword, an eight-sided Han sword! He coughed twice and said, “My friend, you can kill me! But please let the witness go!”
“Back then, when you were being pursued by two people in the wilderness, we were in a similar dilapidated temple. I was a passerby. And you said the same words to those two.” Ye Qiandeng sighed and said, “This moment is just like that moment!”
“I’ve changed my mind! Hand over the 《Twelve-Layered Pagoda《! Then you can leave!” Ye Qiandeng said, his saber held horizontally.
Shi Feizhe: Why did he always encounter trouble!
