Seekers Without Bounds

Chapter 125 Silent Rage

"With such a big commotion, is there no one taking care of it?" Shi Xunfei asked.

“On the seventh floor of Cotton City, no one will care unless everyone is dead.

This is the well-deserved dark world. Everyone's eyes are fixed on it.

They don’t notice the small rocks collapsing under their feet.”

Xiao Fan walked out of the mine, and most of the young men who followed him were covered in wounds and had tattered clothes.

"Brother Lu, it was my fault that I didn't do it well. Yao Bulin tricked me."

"You forgot what I told you before I left, to pay attention to Yao Bulin.

If I hadn't come back unexpectedly, none of you would have survived."

In fact, Lu Zhaohui was quite satisfied with Xiaofan, and he still did not turn against him even in such a situation.

The most difficult thing in the world is a sincere heart.

"We must learn from our lessons and let bygones be bygones. This is your big brother Shi, and you should treat him the same way you treat me in the future." Lu Zhaohui said calmly.

"Hello, Brother Shi." Lu Xiaofan clasped his fists and bowed.

Shi Xunfei nodded and looked at the young man with torn clothes.

It was like seeing my past self. If Wu Xie hadn't brought me into the Temple of the Divine Tree, I would probably be worse than them.

"How is your injury?" Lu Zhaohui asked.

"It's just a superficial wound, it's nothing serious!" Lu Xiaofan's body was stained with blood.

Perhaps because of Lu Zhaohui's return, his eyes really looked like a little tiger out of a cage.

"Where is your sister?" Lu Zhaohui asked.

"My sister has been placed in your old safe house. I have told her not to go out unless necessary."

"Very good, now we should settle accounts with Yao Bulin."

It was already noon the next day when the people below discovered that Lu Zhaohui and the other were absent, and they hurriedly reported to Ye Chenzi.

Looking at the two lifelike drawings pasted on the windows, Ye Chenzi was also amazed.

"There is such a wonderful disguise in the world. No wonder even I was fooled. There are also wind whispers and bloodthirst on the paper frame."

"Master, where will Young Master Zhao Hui go?" asked the servant.

"Hmph, don't worry about where he went. You and I can't even keep an eye on two living people. Go and ask Madam Hou for forgiveness."

Ye Chenzi's cultivation in the realm of transformation makes him free and easy wherever he goes. But the servants below are miserable.

In addition to Lu Xiaofan, Lu Zhaohui's biggest reliance in Cotton City is the young man "Golden Finger" who roams the streets.

To put it bluntly, they are thieves who disguise themselves as children.

The reason why Yao Bulin didn't dare to kill Lu Xiaofan was that he wanted to get the list of "Golden Finger".

In addition to Lu Xiaofan, the person in charge of the Cotton City Gold Finger is a middle-aged woman, a very ordinary housewife.

Even if you see her more than ten times in the crowd, it will not leave any impression on you.

"Lu Xiaofan, weren't you in the coal mine? Why are you back?"

"Aunt, look who's back." Lu Xiaofan opened the door to the inner room.

"The young master is back!" The woman approached anxiously and was about to kneel down, but was helped up by Lu Zhaohui.

"It's my incompetence that has caused the children to suffer."

"Aunt Xue, I don't blame you. After all, I appointed Yao Bulin. It's good enough that you can handle your own affairs well."

"Who is this?" Aunt Xue saw the unfamiliar Shi Xunfei, and her professional sensitivity came to her. She was always wary of strangers.

"This is Aunt Xue. Shi Xunfei is my brother in the border army. Don't worry, he is one of us." Lu Zhaohui introduced.

Since Lu Zhaohui mentioned his brother, Aunt Xue's alert expression immediately relaxed.

He asked the two to sit down and explained the situation in Cotton City to Lu Zhaohui.

Shi Xunfei has followed Lu Zhaohui all the way and now has nothing but admiration for him. He is less than 20 years old.

How could he pull together so many people who were loyal to him?

Aunt Xue is Lu Zhaohui's core figure in Cotton City, while Yao Bulin and Lu Xiaofan are both visible figures.

Aunt Xue controls the Cotton City Golden Finger, and has conducted in-depth investigations into many secrets.

Which officials have mistresses outside, and their wives have concubines.

They know everything clearly, as well as the relationships between the various factions.

It was also because of eating there that Lu Zhaohui was able to gain a foothold in Cotton City.

Yao Bulin was already extremely anxious, as the people he sent were always a step late wherever they arrived.

I want to leave, but I feel conflicted about giving up what I have worked hard for most of my life.

“Boss, that Lawrence Lu is just an illegitimate child, you don’t need to be so scared. Maybe when he comes back, he will just stay for a few days and then leave.”

The person who was speaking had shifty eyes and a thin body. He was Yao Bulin's military advisor Shu Biao.

"You don't know his methods. If you really fall into his hands, it would be a good thing to die early."

When Yao Bulin thought of Lu Zhaohui's past, he broke out in a cold sweat, but there was no way to regret it now.

I originally thought he would not be back for five or six years, but I didn't expect him to come back in just two years.

"If it doesn't work, we still have Master Yu. At worst, we can fight to the death."

The Master Yu that Shu Biao mentioned was the key figure that made Yao Bulin dare to betray Lu Zhaohui. A Jinhe warrior in the Huasheng realm.

"No matter how bad he is, he is still the Duke's grandson. Should we let Master Yu kill him?"

Yao Bulin shook his head after hearing this.

"You don't have to kill him. As long as you can kill everyone around him, he's all alone. Why are you afraid of him?"

Shu Biao was worthy of being Yao Bulin's military advisor. He actually made Yao Bulin waver.

"And don't we have the line with Master Liu? Then it's Master versus Master, turtle versus turtle."

Shu Biao's idea of ​​lowering his voice completely convinced Yao Bulin. It was difficult to survive anyway, so he might as well give it a try.

In the Duke's Mansion, the Marquis's wife was making tea and listening to Ye Chenzi's report.

Even though Lu Zhaohui ran away, she remained very calm and not angry at all.

“Don’t tell me, my nephew’s ability to judge people is better than mine and his father’s.

Even from the remote place like Washi Village, we can bring a good warrior."

"No way. When it comes to employing people in this world, you are definitely the best, except for the current Emperor's wife."

Ye Chenzi smiled and flattered him.

“Ye Chenzi, you are praising me too much, some people are carrying me on their backs.

I only recently found out about bringing back the seedlings of the Immortality Tree."

Madam Hou's expression turned cold and she stared at Ye Chenzi.

"Do you think someone is deliberately keeping an eye on it?"

With a thud, Ye Chenzi knelt down heavily.

"Madam, my loyalty to you is evident to all. The seedling of the immortal tree.

I can't afford to train her, and if I report it rashly, I'm afraid my wife will be disappointed!"

"So even if you informed the High Heaven Pavilion of the Divine Tree Temple first, you wouldn't tell me, right?"

"Madam, you are wronged. I just want to ask the God Tree Temple for advice on how to cultivate the Longevity Tree. I will report back when I succeed."

In front of the Marquis's wife, Ye Chenzi was completely different from his usual rebellious self.

"You don't have to do this. A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. If you think I can't do it anymore, just tell me. I can go anywhere you want."

The Marquis's wife sat cross-legged, her hands still making tea. A small sapling grew on the desk and delivered the tea perfectly into her mouth.

"Madam, I, Ye Chenzi, am a vagrant, but I know that a loyal man should not serve two masters. Everything I do is for you! If I can't cultivate the Longevity Tree, I will definitely send it to you before sunset."

Madam Hou can call the shots in Mian, in addition to her status, more importantly, she is an extraordinary warrior of the two elements of the sacred wood.

A warrior of the Huawu realm with Qingmu and Jinhe, he is one of the best in the whole Yunchuan.

“Haha, Master Ye, don’t worry, I just want to see what the Immortality Tree looks like.

If it can be cultivated, everyone will be happy, and my father can live longer. The tea is getting cold, drink it while it's hot."
