Tingting stomped her feet and returned to her room.
On the bed, Chu Qing was already sitting up.
With eyes closed, Chu Qing cast a spell using her hands. She used her power to get rid of the effect of the hallucination pill.
When she heard the sound of Tingting’s footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes.
“How is it?”
Tingting slapped her sword on the table and angrily poured a cup of tea. “He ran away.”
“What happened?”
Chu Qing was surprised.
A half-step Perfected Person could also be considered an expert in the Snow City.
They hadn’t wasted any time to look for the murdered once they had realized that they were poisoned.
But this person still managed to slip out from under Tingting’s nose?
“Ugh! It seems like they’re more complicated than we thought. They’ve already prepared a few steps ahead. They thought of all kinds of moves we might take if they failed to poison us. They had a complex plan.”
Tingting explained to Chu Qing what happened when she ran after them.
Chu Qing listened quietly and was totally shocked.
Whoever had plotted this was not simple person.
They were very meticulous.
It was possible that Tingting had only found out about one part of their plan. If they were caught by the girls while they were poisoning the fish, the situation might have been different.
“So you think it’s the Fourth Master of Clan Wind?”
“Yes! Those two people’s expressions were clearly different when they heard about the Fourth Master. In the entirety of Snow City, only Clan Wind can make them so scared.”
“Then it’s definitely him. He said that Clan Wind and Clan Snow are working as one. There’s no malicious competition between them.”
“Only Clan Wind would be able to mobilize so many capable people who are willing to sacrifice their lives, and just to deal with insignificant people like us.”
“Sister Xiaoqing, what now? Should we go to Clan Wind?” Tingting asked.
She was feeling a bit conflicted.
“Let’s see how A’Hua is doing first.”
Chu Qing’s eyebrows knitted together.
Tingting’s reached out her hands and pressed them on Zhou Hua’s back to transmit a wave of true qi.
A moment later, she nodded her head.
“Her internal organs are not damaged. The effect of the hallucination pill has been dissolved. She’s still sleeping right now. I’m afraid it might take six or seven hours before she wakes up.”
“Well, we can’t just leave her here alone for six or seven hours.”
Chu Qing wanted to leave Snow City.
They had already seen the landscapes and learned about the customs of Snow City. And now, they had once again become the prey of malicious people.
It was time for them to leave.
“Are we able to leave?”
“It’ll be difficult! If A’Hua doesn’t wake up, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do. In fact, they might be surrounding us right now.”
Chu Qing looked down at her feet and was lost in thought.
She was certain that they had already been trapped by people of Clan Wind.
It was really hard for outsiders like them to escape from the locals.
“I’ll go find grandpa!” Tingting said abruptly as she turned around and left.
…
On the Green Willow Bridge.
Liu Zongfan ran away in a state of panic.
No one would have thought that the Sheriff of Snow City would be an expert in using needles.
On top of that, no one could have imagined that he would make the first strike after meeting with Chu Qing and Tingting.
Anyone with a little bit of intelligence wouldn’t do something like that.
But he did.
Tingting couldn’t catch him. But even if she did, she would questions whether she had caught the right person.
After all, how could a sheriff be engaged in an assassination?
Two days ago, he was here to administer justice, and today he became the murderer?
It was totally beyond people’s imagination.
Liu Zongfan had hurried to leave Yiyi Parlor and now, he strode onto the Green Willow Bridge.
As one of the Fourth Master’s men, what he usually did was to clean the dirty traces left behind by the Fourth Master.
The fact that Tingting was a half-step Perfected Person didn’t stop him.
To him, Tingting was just a brainless and naïve fool!
“Unless she kills everyone around the Green Willow Lake, or if she’s willing to kill three thousand people than to spare one, she can win. But if she really did that, she should never think about leaving Snow City.”
He carefully thought about his plan again.
And then he laughed to himself.
The plan was going to be a success.
He wanted to go back right away to report to the Fourth Master, so he could obtain his reward.
But shortly after he stepped on the bridge, someone obstructed his way.
He turned to avoid the person and tried to walk forward.
But before he could move, the person got in his way once again.
Each time Liu Zongfan made a move, the other person moved to block him.
That man was always in his way.
“A good dog knows not to block the way. Who are you?”
Buzz!
As soon as he spoke, Liu Zongfan he felt as if his head was being hammered.
All of a sudden, the scenery around him changed and he found himself in the courtyard behind the Yiyi Parlor.
The smell of horse manure came drifted toward him.
Liu Zongfan forced himself to hold back the feeling of nausea.
He looked around.
On one side of the courtyard was a horse stable. The luxury carriage which had surprised the entire population of Snow City was parked on the other side.
“Is this… the courtyard behind Yiyi Parlor? How did I suddenly appear in a different place?”
He was deeply confused, especially when a middle-aged man with an upright posture appeared before him.
He blinked his eyes and the middle-aged man became an old man.
But he couldn’t see the man’s face clearly.
He kept blinking his eyes.
The person in front of him kept changing, sometimes a venerable old man and sometimes an aspiring young man.
But Liu Zongfan could be sure that it was always the same person.
“Are you… a human being or a ghost?”
“Look at you, a dog of the Fourth Master,” Li Mu said with indifference.
Li Mu walked up to the carriage and casually leaned against it.
His face was changeable. In the eyes of a hundred people, he had a hundred different faces.
What others perceived him as was how his face appeared to them.
For those who didn’t have any idea of what he looked like, they naturally couldn’t see him clearly.
Therefore, in Tingting’s eyes, he was a grandpa. Zhou Hua and Chu Qing meanwhile, thought of him as a middle-aged master.
“Grandpa!”
Tingting’s voice came from outside the courtyard.
It wasn’t long before Tingting’s figure appeared in front of Li Mu.
“There you are.”
“The sheriff is also here!” Tingting was surprised to see Liu Zongfan, thinking that Liu Zongfan was looking for Li Mu for something else. “Grandpa, I’m in trouble!”
“I know. This is the guy you’re looking for. He’s the expert who threw the needles!”
Li Mu pointed at Liu Zongfan.
Liu Zongfan still hadn’t recovered from this shocking experience.
“He;s not a ghost?” Liu Zongfan thought to himself. “Then, he must be an expert. But what kind of expert is he? He could easily take him captive!”
Liu Zongfan was at the upper Saint-Level.
As a sheriff in the Snow City, he caught bad guys with his skills that were better than most people.
“Is he a Perfected Person? Could a Perfected Person be the driver of a carriage?”
To make matters more confusing, this woman had appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Tingting, Liu Zongfan was shocked again. “You…”
“You’re the one that killed those man just to stop them from telling the truth? I never thought it was you,” said Tingting.
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t deny it. Grandpa said it was you, then it was you!”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”
“Hum!” Tingting snorted and turned to look questioningly at Li Mu.
“Don’t worry. Just do it! I’m here if something goes wrong,” Li Mu said.
“Okay!”
A smile appeared on Tingting’s face.
She disappeared.
“Don’t rush. Take this jerk with you,” said Li Mu as he pointed at Liu Zongfan.
…
In the center of Snow City.
At the entrance of Clan Wind.
Four guards lazily leaned against the four pillars and closed their eyes to take a nap.
Boring!
This task was so boring.
Guards of Clan Wind.
With or without them, it wouldn’t make any difference
Who dared to make any trouble with Clan Wind?
It felt like they were just standing here as part of the decoration.
“Boss, look. It’s a beautiful woman!”
In a trance, one of the guards saw a beautiful woman through his slightly closed eyes. She was slowly walking towards them.
The older guard slowly opened his eyes.
Tingting was holding a sword in one hand and Liu Zongfan in the other.
Bang!
She threw Liu Zongfan towards the entrance of Clan Wind.
“Call your Fourth Master to come out!”
All guards opened their eyes. They looked at each other, feeling baffled.
One of the guards looked to his companion beside him, somewhat confused. “Come to look for trouble?”
“Yes, I’m here to cause trouble,” Tingting said loudly.
Hmm?
What?
Swish!
The guards were shocked, but they were excited.
Was she serious?
They looked at Tingting from head to toe.
Then they rubbed their eyes.
When they saw the person lying at Tingting’s feet, they were startled.
“Sheriff Liu…”
“How dare you start trouble with Clan Wind. You’re going to wish you were dead!” the older guard said angrily.
