After about two hours, the rain gradually lessened, leaving only sporadic drizzles.
After dealing with the traces, Lin Yan carried the wooden box that had become heavier again and returned to Instruction Yard. He poured a bucket of water and carefully scrubbed his entire body. He washed away the residual smell, filth, and the blood scabs on his skin before changing into new clothes. He felt refreshed from head to toe.
It happened to be the Monthly First Evaluation tomorrow. There was no need for lectures, so Lin Yan fell asleep peacefully.
The next day.
The sun was high in the sky.
When Lin Yan woke up and pushed open the door, Xiao Lu welcomed him. “Master, a guest surnamed Pang has been waiting outside for a long time.” “Senior Brother Pang?” Lin Yan stretched his muscles. ‘Why didn’t you call Xiao Lu said, “It was that customer who pulled me and kept telling me not to call you.’
Lin Yan nodded and went to the courtyard.
“Senior Brother Pang. ”
“Aiya, Junior Brother Lin, you’re awake!’ Pang Tong greeted him warmly. Lin Yan could tell that there was an awkward expression on his face. contemporary romance
Lin Yan was deep in thought. “Senior Brother Pang, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just came to see you. You haven’t eaten breakfast, right? This is Chen’s Core Cake. Let you try it.”
Lin Yan took the wooden box and opened it. It was a white jade rice cake decorated with orange ointment. It was very exquisite and should have been deliberately bought from a big restaurant.
Lin Yan took it and placed it aside. “Senior Brother Pang, we’ve known each other for a long time. If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Hey, it’s nothing-” Pang Tong waved his hand and said casually, “By the way, you asked me for the address of the Black Tiger Gang yesterday. Do you still remember?’
Lin Yan’s expression was normal as he nodded. “l do.”
“I heard that you have a grudge against the Black Tiger Gang? Why? Have you thought about when you’ll go take a look? The reputation of our Dragon Gate Pavilion is still very useful in front of the Black Tiger Gang.”
When he said this, Pang Tong avoided his gaze with a hint of probing. He looked at Lin Yan and waited for his answer.
“Oh, I should go take a look.” Lin Yan’s tone was rather calm. “When I’m free, I’ll go take a look. Senior Brother Pang, do you want to come along? ‘
“Forget it with my body. However, I was just joking. You don’t have to go to the
Black Tiger Gang.”
“Oh?”
“The Black Tiger Gang was wiped out last night.”
‘Wiped out?’
“That’s right. From the core members of the sect to the lackeys, there were dozens of people. None of them escaped. All of them died there. Someone even informed the Orphans’ Alliance of the Huayue District to accept the rescued children there.
‘What? There’s actually such a thing? That’s great!” Lin Yan pretended to be excited. “Senior Brother Pang, do you know who did it?”
couldn’t see any flaws and echoed, ‘The people living beside the Black Tiger Gang said that dozens of people were all killed by one person head-on. He should be an expert in the Tough Realm. No matter how powerful a Strength Realm martial artist is, they can’t deal with so many people.”
Lin Yan nodded and said, “Justice has been served. Those who are evil will definitely die! ”
Pang Tong sized up Lin Yan carefully. No matter how he looked at it, Lin Yan did not look like someone who could kill his way through the Black Tiger Gang.
However, it was indeed too coincidental.
He hesitated for a moment and asked again, “Junior Brother Lin, do you still remember the Du family who also asked me about it?’
Lin Yan’s expression remained unchanged. “Senior Brother Pang, did you find out?”
Pang Tong looked at Lin Yan strangely. “1 just heard this morning that a martial arts family in Jing’an District was also attacked last night and suffered a disaster. That family happens to have the surname Du!”
“It can’t be such a coincidence, right?’
said helplessly, “It’s such a coincidence. The person in charge of that family is someone called Du Ting. He just advanced to the Tough Realm last month and was very young. He joined the Inner Circle’s Hong family and had a bright future. He should be the one you asked me about. However, this morning, he was discovered dead in the courtyard. Along with his two Strength
Realm martial artist brothers, who also died in their rooms.”
Lin Yan asked in confusion, “Is it really such a coincidence?”
Pang Tong sighed and said, “That’s right. Three martial artists are dead. Such a huge foundation is like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
“I heard that in less than fifteen minutes after the news spread, the Du family was broken through by a group of hooligan beggars. Not only did they steal everything, but they also kidnapped all the women and children. I guess there’s nothing left to live for. Only an old woman is left. She’s completely crazy.”
Lin Yan was silent for a moment. When he attacked last night, he had already expected this outcome, but he didn’t expect it to be so fast and tragic.
“Senior Brother Pang, are you suspecting that the Black Tiger Gang and the Du family’s demise is related to me?”
paused for a moment and waved his hand. “How can that be? At the
Du family’s residence, we happened to find the corpse of the leader of the Black Tiger Gang. There’s also a hidden weapon called the Storm Plum Needle. It’s said that it can injure people at the Tough Realm.
“Therefore, someone speculated that there might have been a conflict between the Black Tiger Gang and the Du family’s Du Ting. The two of them fought each other and eventually perished together.”
Lin Yan nodded and said, “l see. That makes sense.”
He paused and said meaningfully to Pang Tong, “Senior Brother Pang, you didn’t come to look for me today to chat casually, right? You’re deliberately testing me. ‘
Pang Tong revealed an awkward expression and patted his head. “Junior
Brother Lin, you’ve discovered me. Sigh, I just feel that it’s too coincidental. You happened to ask me about these two families. Before long, the two families fought and perished together. Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?”
Lin Yan’s expression did not change. “It’s indeed a coincidence. However, Senior Brother Pang, you know my strength. Even if I have the heart, I don’t have the strength.”
seemed to think that he was overthinking. “That’s true. I was crazy.
However, Junior Brother Lin, it’s fine even if it’s related to you. Our Dragon Gate Pavilion is one of the few major factions in Ding’an City. Those thieves don’t dare to cause trouble.
“Alright, I’m going. Let’s drink together another day! ‘ At this moment, Lin Yan said, “Wait, Senior Brother Pang.”
“Junior Brother Lin?”
“Senior Brother Pang is knowledgeable. I want to ask Senior Brother Pang about something. ”
“Could it be another unlucky faction?”
“No, it’s a natural treasure called the Red Jade Golden Ginseng.”
“Red Jade Golden Ginseng? I’ve heard of the Red Crystal Ganoderma. My grandpa has one. However, I’ve really never heard of this Red Jade Golden Ginseng. What is this?”
“This is something I just heard recently. It’s said to be a legendary precious medicine that can reconstruct one’s foundation and remold one’s body.”
A look of understanding appeared on Pang Tong’s face. “Junior Brother Lin, you want to solve your foundation problem, right?”
“That’s right. I heard that the Red Jade Golden Ginseng once appeared in the depths of the Guangchuan Mountains. Next, I want to go to the Guangchuan Mountains to look for it.”
“Sigh, Junior Brother Lin, I advise you not to have too much hope. This kind of heavenly treasure that can reconstruct one’s foundation is several times more precious than my grandpa’s Red Crystal Ganoderma. Ordinary people will find it extremely difficult to find it even if they spend their entire lives.”
“I have to try.”
“Forget it. If I notice this Red…”
“Red Jade Golden Ginseng.”
“Right, I will definitely inform you of the news of the Red Jade Golden
Ginseng.”
“Thank you!”
The two of them exchanged pleasantries. Pang Tong quickly walked out of Lin Yan’s courtyard. The smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression gradually became one of surprise.
It was too much of a coincidence. There were indeed coincidences in the world, but this time, it was definitely not a coincidence!
Pang Tong was very sharp. He had been very sharp since he was young. It was almost instinctive for him to observe people’s expressions.
At that time, when Lin Yan asked him about the Black Tiger Gang, he instantly caught the cold killing intent in Lin Yan’s eyes.
But today, when he asked Lin Yan, that killing intent disappeared without a trace.
Therefore, Pang Tong had a feeling that Lin Yan was definitely involved in this matter!
“Junior Brother Lin, oh Junior Brother Lin, I could tell long ago that you’re not an ordinary person. I didn’t expect you to actually play the Black Tiger Gang and the Du family in your hands.
“Exactly how did you make the two of them kill each other and perish together?”
This junior brother that he could not see through to begin with had become even more mysterious.
Unfortunately, his father, Pang Meng, had personally seen Lin Yan eat more than one Spirit Recovery Pill.
“I’m afraid the entire Dragon Gate Pavilion won’t be able to buy a heavenly treasure like the Red Jade Golden Ginseng.. Junior Brother Lin, how can you obtain it?’
