Wu Ling County, Yuelai Inn.
The Yuelai Inn today was different from usual.
Usually, at noon, the Yuelai Inn would be packed with guests.
But now, there were only a few people walking around the inn.
The boss, who was standing in front of the counter, frowned and his face was filled with anger.
He roared at the waiter beside him,"Did the Wu Ling County close the gate to prevent outsiders from entering these two days? Why are the number of guests in our inn so miserable?”
At this moment, the waiter walked over and said timidly,"Shopkeeper, you still don't know?”
"Our guests have all been snatched away by the Azure Cloud Inn.”
"When I went to the market just now, I passed by Qingyun Inn. They had people queuing up early in the morning.”
Pa!
When the shopkeeper heard this, he slammed his palm on the counter.
"Is there really such a thing?"
The waiter nodded his head vigorously as if he was watching a show.
"How would this lowly one dare to deceive you, shopkeeper?”
Shopkeeper Hu snorted coldly and was furious.
"Call our people immediately and take our weapons. We'll go and smash this Qingyun Inn."”
As soon as the shopkeeper said this, the waiter immediately stopped him.
"Shopkeeper, don't be rash. Have you forgotten that the shopkeeper of the Qingyun Inn, Li Qingyun, is a powerful figure? A few days ago, it was rumored that he could transform into a divine dragon and kill martial arts experts from the Great Song Dynasty.”
"Although our brothers are also martial artists, their strength is only at the ninth grade. They can bully the commoners, but if they really encounter martial arts masters, I'm afraid they will only die in vain.”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt that it was reasonable. He had been blinded by anger just now and had not thought of this.
"Kid, your comprehension is not bad. It seems that we have to ask the mountain behind us to take action.”
"If we don't solve the problem of Qingyun Inn, our Yuelai Inn will close down sooner or later.”
"You take care of the shop, I'll go out and do something!”
With that, the shopkeeper left the inn and went to a brothel in the easternmost part of the Wu Ling County. It was called the Drunken Spring Brothel.
The shopkeeper wasn't here to seek pleasure, but to find his backer, the Money Gang!
In the backyard of Drunken Spring Brothel.
A man was sitting on a chair, staring at a letter in his hand.
Below, two of his subordinates were staring at the man.
One of them had shifty eyes and looked like a treacherous villain.
"Young Master, what did the higher-ups say?" he asked, raising his eyebrows and cupping his hands.”
The man was Shangguan Fei, the son of the leader of the Money Gang, Shangguan Jinhong.
" He ordered us to investigate Li Qingyun's background and which sect he is from," Shangguan Fei said." We should also suppress Li Qingyun's power in the Wu Ling County. We shouldn't let him become a threat to the Money Gang or even the Azure Dragon Society."”
The two people below looked at each other and smiled.
They knew very well that the so-called suppression was to eradicate this person and the Azure Cloud Inn.
This way, they could snatch another batch of property from the Green Cloud Inn and take it for themselves.
Therefore, how could they not laugh?
At this moment, Shopkeeper Hu of Yuelai Inn rushed into the backyard.
He came to Shangguan Fei.
"Young Master, I have a request."”
Shangguan Fei looked at Shopkeeper Hu and asked doubtfully,"Shopkeeper Hu, this should be the busiest time for Yuelai Inn. Why do you have time to come to my place?”
Shopkeeper Hu let out a long sigh and explained the current situation of Yuelai Inn in detail.
Shangguan Fei sat up in shock.
"Damned Li Qingyun, how dare you steal my Money Gang's source of income? Even if the Azure Dragon Society doesn't destroy you, my Money Gang will!”
Shangguan Fei still didn't know that the Money Gang was actually a part of the Azure Dragon Society. His father, Shangguan Jinhong, was one of the dragon leaders of the Azure Dragon Society.
" Pass on my order," Shangguan Fei said." Tell Yan Shuangfei and Zhuge Gang to come here and take the men with us to the Qingyun Inn."”
The two people below cupped their hands in agreement and then turned around to leave.
On the city wall of the Wu Ling County, Yan Shuangfei and Zhuge Gang were talking to a swordsman with a long sword and a scar on his face.
"I just received Young Master's order to go to Qingyun Inn to deal with Li Qingyun. What do you think, Brother Jing?”
The calm Lifeless Thorn expressionlessly said,""Go and help the young master. I still have the important task of being the sect master, so I can't show my face easily.”
"Remember, you must protect the young master's safety.”
Yan Shuangfei and Zhuge Gang nodded, then flew down the city wall and headed straight for the Green Cloud Inn.
Lifeless Thorn frowned as he watched Yan Shuangfei's back.
This time, he came to the Wu Ling County under Shangguan Jinhong's order to investigate Li Qingyun's background.
This was because the Azure Dragon Society had already noticed that Li Qingyun had killed Ouyang Feng, one of the Five Uniques of the Great Song.
The Azure Dragon Society felt that a person who could kill a master at the Peak of the Grandmaster Realm would be a threat to them in the Wu Ling County.
After all, the Azure Dragon Society was ambitious. They wanted to control the entire Wu Ling County, so that they could trade with the Great Song and the Great Sui!
In addition, Lifeless Thorn had another important task, which was to protect Shangguan Fei in secret.
In Shangguan Jinhong's opinion, Shangguan Fei was impulsive and would most likely screw everything up and put himself in danger.
Lifeless Thorn's martial arts were outstanding, and he was calm and steady. He could make up for all of this.
When necessary, Lifeless Thorn had to "clean up" Shangguan Fei's mess.
Lifeless Thorn, wearing a bamboo hat, stepped forward and flew toward the Green Cloud Inn.
