"Damn it! They actually got away! This is going to be troublesome!"
"Those damned monks from Lingtai Temple seem to be even stronger than that night. What's going on?"
"My pill formula is gone just like that!"
The three experts in the Yin Yuan realm were unwilling and resentful as they flicked their sleeves.
...
"No! Where's Qin Shengnan?"
"Where did Qin Shengnan go!?"
...
The battle at the Qin family ended.
Several people gathered, but suddenly discovered something.
Qin Shengnan had disappeared.
Everyone was surprised, looking at each other, unable to figure it out.
How could a person just vanish like that?
"Ru Xue, where did Shengnan disappear to?" asked the elder in the red robe.
"Elder, your question is interesting. How would I know where Junior Sister Qin went?" Tang Ru Xue's face was full of displeasure.
"Or are you suggesting I secretly killed Junior Sister Qin?"
"Even if I wanted to kill her, I couldn't possibly destroy the evidence so quickly, could I?"
The more Tang Ru Xue spoke, the uglier her expression became.
The elder in the red robe thought carefully and realized he had been too abrupt.
Tang Ru Xue, it seemed, was not capable of destroying evidence without a trace.
Moreover, Tang Ru Xue was the one who brought people to save him today.
It was really inappropriate for him to question Tang Ru Xue like this.
Baili Wei and Gao Feng were invited by Tang Ru Xue, so they naturally didn't care about Qin Shengnan's life or death.
The black-robed elder from the Poison Doctor Sect, however, spoke up.
"Qin Shengnan is missing. How will the matter in the old residential area be handled?"
"Don't worry, whatever Qin Shengnan can do, I, Tang Ru Xue, can do as well," Tang Ru Xue said with a smile.
Hearing this.
The black-robed elder had no objections.
In his opinion, cooperating with Tang Ru Xue would be better than with Qin Shengnan.
Because...
Qin Shengnan was too cold-blooded, too deep in thought, and too calculating.
But if he knew.
That Tang Ru Xue was no easy person to deal with, he wondered what the black-robed elder would think.
...
On the other side.
Zhang Yang, who had escaped from the Qin family.
Found a quiet place, took out all the remaining Gui Yuan Pills, and swallowed them.
About half an hour later, Zhang Yang's injuries had also recovered by more than half.
At the same time.
The abbot of Lingtai Temple found him.
"Amitabha."
A familiar Buddhist chant sounded, and the abbot of Lingtai Temple appeared before Zhang Yang.
"Donor Zhang, are you unharmed?" the abbot of Lingtai Temple asked with a smile.
This...
Zhang Yang was startled.
How did the other party know his surname was Zhang?
Could it be...
However, before Zhang Yang could ask, Fang Zheng, who had fled earlier, also arrived.
"Didn't you run away? What are you doing here again?" Zhang Yang frowned.
Seeing Fang Zheng, he felt disgusted and his attitude was extremely poor.
"I..." Fang Zheng looked ashamed.
Actually...
He had indeed run away when he and Zhang Yang found themselves surrounded by three people.
But later, he sensed that something else had happened at the Qin family.
So he secretly returned to see what was going on.
Finally...
He also made some effort to resist.
However, Zhang Yang did not see any of this.
At this moment.
The abbot of Lingtai Temple, who was by his side, explained fairly for Fang Zheng.
"When fleeing just now, Donor Fang did contribute to resisting them."
Fang Zheng cast a grateful glance at the abbot of Lingtai Temple.
Then, he explained to Zhang Yang.
"Actually, I left just now because I wanted to get reinforcements to save you."
Get reinforcements?
Heh.
Would he believe it?
Zhang Yang's face was full of cold laughter.
At this moment, he still had his old, weathered face.
Fang Zheng did not know Zhang Yang's true identity.
"Commander Fang, my disciple Zhang Yang owes you a favor. If you are in danger when the turmoil in Jiangnan City occurs, I will personally save you once."
"However... I can do nothing about other matters," Zhang Yang said coldly.
This...
Fang Zheng's expression changed.
Only save him once?
"Your Excellency, Zhang Yang didn't promise me like that, did he? He said you would..." Fang Zheng said.
However, before he could finish, Zhang Yang waved his hand and interrupted him.
"That was before, not now. What you did today has greatly disappointed me."
Zhang Yang, wearing a cloak, looked very cold.
"Actually, you've been hiding in the dark since I appeared at the Qin family, haven't you?"
"And you didn't help me immediately because you wanted to see how strong I was, right?"
"Finally, only after knowing my strength did you choose to help and want me to owe you a favor."
"And what you just said about getting reinforcements is completely fabricated, isn't it?"
"If you were truly sincere, you wouldn't have fled from the battlefield, but would have helped me capture Qin Shengnan the moment Baili Wei and Gao Feng arrived!"
...
Zhang Yang's words left Fang Zheng speechless.
All of this.
Was discovered by Zhang Yang at the Qin family.
But, every point was extremely accurate.
"I..." Fang Zheng opened his mouth, then closed it again.
"You can go. My disciple's debt of gratitude, I will naturally repay it. I don't want to see you now," Zhang Yang said, driving him away.
"Alas, alright," Fang Zheng said with a wry smile.
It truly lived up to the saying: self-inflicted suffering cannot be survived.
Originally, Fang Zheng had intended to win over a powerful expert.
Who would have thought that due to a lack of courage, his efforts would be in vain.
Fang Zheng also knew that staying here would only make him unwelcome.
So, he simply turned and left.
Behind him, Zhang Yang's voice came again, making Fang Zheng's heart sink to the bottom.
"By the way, my disciple Zhang Yang is resigning from his position as captain of the Dragon Group in Jiangnan City starting today. Commander Fang, please help with the procedures."
...
The abbot of Lingtai Temple watched quietly, not interrupting from beginning to end.
After Fang Zheng left.
The abbot of Lingtai Temple clasped his hands together and said.
"Amitabha, Donor Zhang, let's find a quiet place."
"Abbot, thank you for your help at the Qin family just now," Zhang Yang said gratefully.
The abbot of Lingtai Temple shook his head.
He didn't take it to heart at all.
Then.
He said something that greatly shocked Zhang Yang.
"What happened at the Qin family just now, consider it as my atonement for my rudeness to you at the Han family in the past."
This!
Zhang Yang's gaze sharpened.
He turned and looked at his current appearance through the window of a house in the alley.
When he found that his face was still old and weathered, he was greatly alarmed.
This abbot of Lingtai Temple had actually seen through his disguise.
"Abbot, what are you talking about? I don't understand," Zhang Yang continued to play dumb, probing.
"Heh heh, Amitabha, Donor Zhang is still very cautious."
"However, your disguise skill is still no match for my eyes," the abbot of Lingtai Temple said with a smile.
Instantly.
A killing intent emerged from Zhang Yang.
If the abbot of Lingtai Temple didn't know his original identity.
Then his act of saving him had other motives.
But.
This monk, knowing his identity, still chose to save him.
This made Zhang Yang have to think more.
After all, at the Han family, the abbot of Lingtai Temple was his adversary.
He had rescued Han Zhengye in front of him.
"Heh heh, Donor Zhang, there's no need to be nervous," the abbot of Lingtai Temple saw Zhang Yang's change.
However, he still said slowly in a calm and unhurried manner.
His gaze suddenly flickered towards a certain direction, and a killing intent appeared in the depths of his eyes.
"Donor Zhang, this is not a place to talk. How about we change locations?"
"I have something I want to discuss with you, and I can also explain things about Han Zhengye."
Zhang Yang warily observed the other party.
The abbot of Lingtai Temple's gaze just now was somewhat strange.
Could there be someone else here?
Zhang Yang couldn't help but close his eyes and sense his surroundings.
But he found nothing.
After a moment of thought, Zhang Yang said.
"Alright, let's change locations then."
Now that the abbot of Lingtai Temple had seen through his identity.
Zhang Yang naturally had nothing to hide.
Moreover...
Putting aside what the abbot wanted to talk about.
Even if he really wanted to harm him, there would be no need for him to go through the trouble of saving him.
...
Thus.
The abbot of Lingtai Temple and Zhang Yang left, one after the other.
And at the spot where they had been standing.
A face suddenly appeared. If Zhang Yang were there.
He would recognize the person as...
"This Jiangnan City is becoming more and more interesting."
