Chapter 63

Ye Xue's face was extremely pale, and after a while, she whispered, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Xu Daolin, of course, had no idea who these people were, but Ye Xue knew them all too well.

She had been in the capital for over a year; how could she not know that these guys were the little tyrants of the capital?

One was the youngest son of the Divine General, one was the young master of the Divine Marquis Manor, and another was a beloved princess by the Empress...

Any one of these five people was someone she, Ye Xue, could not afford to offend!

The City Lord's Mansion was only arrogant in a place like Tianfeng City; compared to these forces, it was nothing.

Even if her father, Ye Xiaozheng, saw these people, he would probably only try to flatter them and not dare to offend them in the slightest.

Ye Xue's mind was in a mess...

Although she knew that Shen Moren seemed to be friends with these people, she never expected that Shen Moren would actually bring them to Tianfeng City, and it seemed that these people were very good to Shen Lang!

Just as Xu Daolin reluctantly put away his sword and walked towards the stairs with Ye Xue, Ye Xue suddenly froze.

She saw a woman in a blue dress and a veil walking gracefully towards the stairs, followed by a man and a woman.

"Hey?" This time, it was Yin Kuang who was greatly surprised. This god-like figure, who suddenly looked like a mouse seeing a cat, without a word, crashed through the window and flew out...

If he could react so quickly, how could the others be slower?

Almost at the same time, the five little tyrants scattered, jumping out of the windows.

Finally, the street was filled with the sound of their landing and the angry curses of the crowd, creating a chaotic scene.

Shui Qingwu blew a breath in anger, making the veil flutter, and said angrily, "They ran pretty fast, but they can run away from the monk, not the temple. I'm already here, do you think you can hide for a few more days?"

She walked to Shen Lang's table and politely asked, "May I ask, can this young lady sit here, Mr. Shen Lang?"

Shen Lang rolled his eyes and was about to speak when Cai Yin rushed forward, slapped the table, and said fiercely, "Miss, why are you being so polite to him? This bastard still owes you hundreds of spirit stones. Do you need to ask him to sit? Who... Lang Buqun, you squeeze in with him, this is by the window, there are only three seats!"

Cai Yin sat down in the last seat and gestured for Lang Buqun to sit with Shen Lang.

"There are so many people who ran away, there are plenty of seats, no need to fight with me, right?" Shen Lang said with a bitter smile.

Shui Qingwu smiled and said, "Your seat has good feng shui, we don't even care about the other seats."

Ye Xue's face at the stairs became even paler.

She didn't recognize Shui Qingwu with the veil, but she was very familiar with the people behind her, Shui Yin and Lang Buqun. If Shui Qingwu was here and seemed to know Shen Lang well...

No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't understand how the useless Shen Lang, who had never left Tianfeng City, could have any connection with these people.

If Shen Lang really had a deep relationship with these people, dealing with the Shen family would require some careful consideration.

The City Lord's Mansion didn't have the qualifications to compete with Shui Qingwu's backers.

"Let's go!" Ye Xue no longer had the arrogance she had when she came, and hurriedly went downstairs with her head down.

The tavern finally returned to normal and became lively again.

However, most people's gazes became strange, occasionally glancing at Shen Lang and his group.

Shen Lang had previously shown no mercy, immediately disabling the City Lord's Mansion guards and even threatening the City Lord's daughter, which was enough to be talked about for days.

Although Shui Qingwu was veiled, her extraordinary charm was something that couldn't be faked.

Without seeing her face, one could guess that she was a beauty.

Moreover, her appearance scared Yin Kuang and the others so much that they fled through the windows, adding to her mysterious aura in the eyes of the crowd.

"Waiter, come and take these things away, my lady wants to order new dishes!" Cai Yin called to the waiter crouching in the corner.

Shen Lang's chopsticks had just reached out when Cai Yin picked up the plate and threw it away, landing steadily in the waiter's hands.

"Damn, I haven't even had a bite!" Shen Lang was furious.

What was this? Wasn't he allowed to eat?

Just as he was stunned, Cai Yin and Lang Buqun had already cleared the table, leaving only the jar of Daughter Red in Shen Lang's hand.

Shen Lang looked at the empty table, speechless, sighed, and started drinking directly from the jar.

At this moment, footsteps sounded at the stairs, and the fat and thin Lin Feng and Su Hen walked up.

As soon as they reached the third floor, they immediately looked at Shen Lang and Shui Qingwu and ran over without any grace.

"Oh, oh, I saw the venomous look in Ye Xue's eyes and knew she must have met you, Young Master Lang. Unfortunately, I came too late and didn't see it. It's all because the cunning merchant pulled me to watch the auction just now..." Su Hen spoke to Shen Lang but looked at Shui Qingwu.

Lin Feng was better; he just glanced at Shui Qingwu and calmly said, "What did you want us to come here for, Young Master Lang? Didn't you ask us to collect materials? Has the plan changed?"

Shen Lang took out the crystal card given to him by Sima Qing and threw it to Lin Feng, saying, "There's some money on this, it should be enough for you to use. Double the amount of materials we need to buy... What did you mean by what Young Master Hen just said? Why did you say that seeing the venomous look in Ye Xue's eyes means I'm here?"

"Oh, Young Master Lang, you really don't pay attention to what's happening outside. You don't know about Ye Xue and your sister? Ye Xue likes Chu Qincheng, but Chu Qincheng doesn't like her and instead likes your sister. So this woman hates your sister to the extreme, and naturally, she hates you too... In this Tianfeng City, the only ones who can make her show such a venomous look are you and your sister."

"Bang!"

The small wine jar in Shen Lang's hand instantly shattered, soaking his robe with wine, and a fierce killing aura emanated from him, startling Lang Buqun.

"Oh... What's wrong? Why does your expression look so terrifying, Young Master Lang?" Su Hen thought he had said something wrong and asked timidly, "I... What did I say?"

Shui Qingwu looked at Shen Lang in surprise and then said softly, "Cai Yin, the private room where Yin Kuang and the others were has been vacated. Go tell the waiter, we'll go there. These two are my friends, let's go together."

Shen Lang took a deep breath, his aura subsided, and he slowly returned to his previous state, saying, "Nothing, just figured something out."

Shen Lang thought about his father being poisoned by the zombie poison.

He had already analyzed that his father, Shen Haotian, being poisoned by the zombie poison was related to the City Lord's Mansion. The martial artist controlling the zombie was likely hiding in the City Lord's Mansion or under its protection in some place in Tianfeng City.

He had already figured out all of this.

But there was one thing he couldn't understand.

That was whether the Xu family sending people to inform his father about the discovery of the Shen family members in Blackwind Ridge was a conspiracy or a coincidence.

According to his analysis, the possibility of it being a coincidence was extremely small, while the possibility of it being a conspiracy was very high.

Because the informant was the Xu family, who had been in conflict with the Shen family for many years, and the Xu family was a loyal lackey of the City Lord's Mansion.

But if it was a conspiracy, there were some things that didn't make sense:

First, why would the City Lord's Mansion want to deal with the Shen family? The Shen family was just a small force under the City Lord's Mansion, what qualifications did they have to deserve such a scheme?

The City Lord's Mansion could easily destroy the Shen family without going to such lengths or risking exposing their collusion with the evil martial artist.

Second, if the City Lord's Mansion really wanted to deal with the Shen family, why did everything remain calm for the next three years? Why didn't the City Lord's Mansion continue to target the Shen family?

Third, Shen Lang remembered his father saying that when Xu Daolin's father came to report, he didn't reveal the information to anyone else in the Shen family but specifically told the clan leader, Shen Haotian, and even instructed him not to spread the news.

Organizing these things that didn't make sense, Shen Lang had just lost control of his emotions!

No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like the City Lord's Mansion wanted to deal with the Shen family...

It seemed more like they wanted to deal with his father, Shen Haotian!

And they used the evil martial artist and the zombie to do it, a classic case of using someone else's hand to kill.

But Shen Lang couldn't understand why the City Lord's Mansion would want to deal with his father and use such a method.

In fact, the City Lord's Mansion had many experts, and dealing with a martial artist at the Seventh Level of the Qi Martial Realm was very simple; they could just send someone to intercept him on the way, no need to make it so complicated.

However, this mystery that had been on Shen Lang's mind for a long time suddenly became clear, and many things that he couldn't understand seemed to have found answers!

The answer came from Ye Xue!

Ye Xue liked Chu Qincheng, but Chu Qincheng only had eyes for Shen Moren.

Shen Lang knew a little about this, after all, Tianfeng City wasn't that big, and Chu Qincheng was his childhood friend.

But he never took it too seriously, and besides sleeping, he had no time to deal with such matters.

But Su Hen's words reminded him... Just now, when Ye Xue sat across from him, the venomous look in her eyes caught his attention.

At that moment, he was slightly stunned, and now, with Su Hen's reminder, everything seemed to become clear...

"If all this was done by Ye Xue, then she deserves to die!" Thinking about his father suffering for over three years, Shen Lang's aura became a bit savage.
