After walking in the forest for a few days, Dongfang Sheng and Zi finally arrived at Suncreed City. Of course, Dongfang Sheng would not make the same mistake he had made in Tai 'an. He had already asked Ke Bainian about the location of Ma Dayuan's residence when he was in Luoyang. Although the Ma Family was not big, Ma Dayuan was the deputy leader of the Beggar's Sect and was very famous in Jianghu. Therefore, Ke Bainian knew the location of the Ma Family very well. It was 30 miles away from the western suburbs of Xinyang.
Even so, Dongfang Sheng had never thought of going directly to the Ma Clan.
He came here only to prevent the tragedy that might happen between Xiao Feng and A'Zhu in the future. The simplest method was to go to Ma Clan and end Kang Min's life with a flick of his finger. In this way, even if she had all kinds of sinister and cunning tricks, she would not be able to use them. However, he was unwilling to kill anyone. After coming to this world, although his martial arts were powerful, he had never hurt anyone. Although Kang Min was detestable, to a modern person, their respect for life was far greater than that of the ancients. Secondly, there was Zi by his side. Dongfang Sheng felt that although Zi was not a bad person, she had grown up in Xingxiu Sect since she was a child, so she had always been vicious. That was why he had been slowly instilling humane thoughts into Zi's mind. If he killed Kang Min now without much evidence, it would be no different from slapping himself in the face. Furthermore, if Kang Min did not lure Duan Zheng Chun out, A'Zhu's background would probably be buried forever, which was also a kind of regret.
However, hiding near Ma tribe and waiting for Qiao Feng and A'Zhu was clearly also extremely unrealistic. The two of them were traveling from Shandong to Tiantai Mountain, which was thousands of miles away from here. They didn't know when they would arrive. Thinking of this, Dongfang Sheng could not help but blame himself for being too careless when reading. If he remembered the location of the mirror lake, he wouldn't have to rush around like this.
After entering the city, Dongfang Sheng silently activated his spiritual perception and checked his surroundings. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he realized that no one was watching him in the dark. Although Beggar's Sect had disciples all over the world, there was no good means of communication in the modern world, and it was very difficult to exchange information. Therefore, even if Dongfang Sheng was a great enemy of Beggar's Sect, he would not mobilize the local sect members to keep an eye on every man in white who entered the city without an order from the headquarters.
Without Beggar's Sect's surveillance, Dongfang Sheng felt much more relaxed. He liked the feeling of being detached from the matter and watching calmly. In the past few days, he had sunk into a quagmire. It should have been Qiao Feng's fault, but now he had the intention of pushing it onto himself. Now that he had used a little trick to jump out of the circle, he was really much more at ease. Along the way, he couldn't help but hum a small tune.
The two of them turned a street and arrived at Xi City. At the intersection, there was an inn with an impressive entrance. Dongfang Sheng looked at the signboard and saw the words " Yuelai Inn ". He couldn't help but sigh."There are probably countless inns in the world. Could it be that they are opened by the same big boss?”He led Zi in.
When they entered the hall, a waiter came forward to greet them."Dear guests, I wonder if you want to stay or eat. If you want to stay in the hotel, please go to the counter over there. If you want to eat, please go to the private room upstairs.”
"We're eating and staying, but what should we do?" Zi smiled. Should he go upstairs first or go to the counter first?”
Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but laugh. This little girl, Zi, always liked to fool around with others when she had nothing to do. However, under Dongfang Sheng's constant reminders, he was no longer as fond of using vicious methods to prank people for fun. "Waiter, is your Head Shopkeeper here?" Dongfang Sheng asked.”
The waiter saw that Dongfang Sheng and Ah Zi had outstanding appearances and elegant clothes. It was obvious that they were not from a small background. Naturally, he did not dare to be negligent and led the two into a room in the back hall. A fat middle-aged man sat in the room. His face was sallow, and he should be the owner of this inn. When the middle-aged man heard the waiter's words, he stood up and sent the waiter away. He invited Dongfang Sheng and the other man to take a seat before asking,"May I know what business the two guests have? See if there is anything I can help you with."
Dongfang Sheng was not in a hurry to speak. He took out ten golden leaves from his sleeve and placed them on the table."I just hope that Boss can help me find two people.”
Seeing Dongfang Sheng's generosity, the boss became cautious and said,""May I know who you are looking for?"
"There are two people who should be staying in Suncreed City within ten days," Dongfang Sheng said.”As he spoke, he described Bai Shijing's appearance." There should be a burly man beside him.”
"This shop isn't the only one in Suncreed City," the shop owner said.
"That's right. That's why I need the head shopkeeper to help me inform the various inns in the city and search for them together.”
" This... I'm afraid..." The shopkeeper was slightly troubled. How could the other shopkeepers listen to him?
" This gold is just a deposit," Dongfang Sheng said." If anyone can find these two people, tell me their whereabouts. There's also twenty taels of gold as a thank you gift."”
When the boss heard this, he beamed and patted his chest in agreement. Dongfang Sheng was about to leave his seat when Zi tugged at his sleeve and gave him a look. Zi said," Shopkeeper, my elder brother is looking for these two people for something urgent. Don't take the gold but don't put in any effort."”
Dongfang Sheng finally understood. He smiled and said to the shopkeeper," If I can't find the whereabouts of these two within a month…" As he spoke, he placed his right hand on the table and exerted some strength. With a " pop ", his five fingers sank into the table. Dongfang Sheng withdrew his hand, leaving only five bright holes on the table.
The boss was so shocked that his face turned pale. This table was made of southern rosewood. This rosewood grew extremely slowly and took hundreds of years to mature. This was why the wood sank when it entered the water and was harder than iron. This white clothed youth in front of him actually easily pressed five holes on the table, it was truly shocking.
Seeing that it had worked, Dongfang Sheng stood up and left. He knew that the boss would not dare to go against his wishes in private and delay his business.
After walking in the forest for a few days, Dongfang Sheng and Zi had only eaten dry food and wild fruits. At this moment, they naturally went to the private room on the second floor and ordered a few exquisite delicacies to reward themselves. Just as the two of them were enjoying the delicious food, a vigorous laughter came from the stairs."Hahahaha…Nephew, long time no see.”
Dongfang Sheng recognized the voice as Xiao Yuanshan, whom he had not seen for a long time. He stood up and turned around. He saw an old man with a curly beard. He was tall and strong, and he looked very similar to Qiao Feng. "How have you been, Uncle Xiao?"”
Xiao Yuanshan came over and sat down. Dongfang Sheng sat down as well. Xiao Yuanshan stared at Dongfang Sheng and praised,"Nephew is indeed extraordinary. After not seeing him for a few months, his cultivation had improved again. The divine light in his eyes was restrained, and his internal strength was probably on par with this old man.”
Dongfang Sheng naturally gave in modestly and said to Zi,""Zi, this is Senior Xiao whom I mentioned before.”
When Zi heard that this person was the one who defeated Dongfang Sheng, she couldn't help but feel some respect for Xiao Yuanshan and call him senior. Xiao Yuanshan didn't care about her and said to Dongfang Sheng,""Nephew, do you know that you are being schemed against?”
Dongfang Sheng was shocked. His mind started to think rapidly. In fact, there were not many people who were enemies with him. Murong Bo might be one of them. After all, he knew too much. It would not be strange if he schemed against him. There was also Beggar's Sect. However, although there was a misunderstanding between him and Beggar's Sect, it was unlikely that Beggar's Sect would scheme to harm him. And…Dongfang Sheng was shocked. Quan Guanqing, he had actually missed this person. The last time in Weihui City, he had almost fallen for his Ten Fragrance Bewitching Powder, and he had been rescued. In the book, Quan Guanqing was a sinister person who was good at using tricks. The person who was most likely to scheme against him in the dark was this person. After that, they had Ming Cult's support. He had been too careless.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Sheng raised his head and asked,""Could it be Quan Guanqing?"
Xiao Yuanshan laughed and said,"Not bad, not bad. Nephew, you are indeed resourceful." His guess was right. This old man has met countless people in his life, but a person like this nephew is rare.”
"How did Uncle know about this?" Dongfang Sheng asked modestly.”
"I arrived at Xinyang before Feng 'er, so I went to the Ma Family to inquire." Xiao Yuanshan snorted. Three people had arrived at the Ma residence. " The three of them discussed in secret that night…" He told Dongfang Sheng about Quan Guanqing's plan." I guessed that you might have arrived at Xinyang, but I didn't expect to meet you."”
Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Hundreds of Beggar's Sect's disciples could not stop him, but it would take a long time to clear his name as a murderer. He had truly underestimated Quan Guanqing. Fortunately, he didn't go through Ma Clan directly. Although this plan was simple, the simpler it was, the harder it was to break. This time, Xiao Yuanshan had secretly helped him, but he might not be so lucky next time.
"Master, Big Brother, this person is so insidious. We have to teach him a lesson."”
Dongfang Sheng also nodded his head slightly. He thought to himself, If this Quan Guanqing continues to be like this, who knows when he will fall at the hands of this person. "I spared his life last time, but he doesn't know how to repent."”
Ever since Dongfang Sheng had guessed that the two men in black were from the Ming Cult, he had not made a careful deduction. Now that he thought about it, when the Ming Cult rebelled in the south in the future, Quan Guanqing colluded with the Ming Cult. Naturally, he wanted to destroy Beggar's Sect and remove a big obstacle for the Ming Cult in the future. Dongfang Sheng finally understood what Quan Guanqing meant when he spoke of the hatred between the nation and the family. His goal was not just Beggar's Sect, but the entire Great Song.
