“If that is the case, didn’t I miss an opportunity to escape? If I hadn’t stayed at this place and had run away immediately…
“That’s not true either. I know absolutely nothing about the extent of the Zhang family’s influence. Plus, I know very little about the world outside. If I had only recklessly wanted to run away, I surely would have had no time to practice, giving up the chance to become several times more powerful in such a short period. If I had chosen to face a danger that could show up anytime in a relatively weak state, it would have been a mistake… Now I’m hiding in this remote place, training hard and making the best use of my time to become more powerful, only this is the correct choice!
“It doesn’t matter what has happened, the fact that the Zhang family has been slow to act is a good thing to me! At least now I’ve already mastered the method for controlling over twenty basic acupoints and even become proficient in the Ninefold Fist Force, learned the Wave Treading Steps and almost reached the middle Soul Warrior stage… My power has increased at least by several times!
“I can already leave anytime now. At least I’ll have to leave before the Zhang family finds this place. I can’t cause the village any trouble…
“After Chengfeng returns, I’ll be able to know the Zhang family’s movements. I’ll stay for three more days at most then leave this place.”
… … … …
The next day, soon after he ate breakfast, he saw a travel-worn and weary Li Chengfeng hurriedly return with an obviously exhausted expression on his face. Given his current level of power, this meant he had been spending soulforce nonstop without hesitation on the way to rush back at a faster speed than he should have.
In addition to exhaustion, there was even more anxiety on his face. As soon as he returned to the village, without even greeting Ling’er, he gave Bai Yunfei a hint with his eyes then turned around and walked out of the village.
Seeing him like this, Bai Yunfei was already able to guess a bit. He waved to Ling’er, hinting at her that she did not have to worry bout Chengfeng, then followed him.
“Yunfei, I already guessed that you went back to Luoshi City to take revenge, but I didn’t expect your enemy to be the Zhang family’s young master… You’re really terrific!” Seeming to be really very tired, Li Chengfeng flopped down onto the grass and said to an incoming Bai Yunfei while shaking his head in a frustrated manner.
“Oh, you even know this already? That’s right, I killed the Zhang family’s young master Zhang Yang because… he deserved to die! Let’s not talk about this. Just tell me the current situation in Luoshi City first. What are the Zhang family’s movements?” Seeming to have guessed earlier that Li Chengfeng would say so, Bai Yunfei asked the most important question instead of wasting time explaining.
“Yeah, so what if you killed him. I can also tell that Zhang Yang was definitely a scoundrel. Even though those commoners in Luoshi City don’t dare to talk about him openly, there are traces of happiness hidden in their eyes. I was able to see that.” Li Chengfeng did not mind either and nodded without continuing to ask about Zhang Yang.
“Now your portraits have been posted everywhere in Luoshi City. Even the men of the mayor’s mansion have been mobilized to look for your tracks. Besides, the Zhang family has sent out a lot of men. They have already begun to spread out in all directions to go into every town and village to look for you…
“I think it will take them just a few days to find this place. What do you plan to do, Yunfei?”
Li Chengfeng asked in a slightly concerned manner after telling Bai Yunfei the general situation he had discovered.
“Oh, this is not far from my expectation. If so, I’ll leave here within two days…” Bai Yunfei pondered for a while and said.
“You really have to run away?”
“Yeah, I must run away so that I won’t cause the village any trouble.” Bai Yunfei nodded then put this topic aside, asking: “Right, how many daggers did you buy? What is their quality?”
