198: Chapter 192: So It’s You!
Three days hadn’t yet passed, but Ye Longchen had already arrived at the Scripture Pavilion.
Fortunately, by this ti, Little Fox had already finished reading all of the Corpse Nether Sect’s tos on human anatomy.
Seeing Ye Longchen approaching, Little Fox knew that he was there to hasten her departure.
“I’m grateful for the Corpse Nether Sect’s hospitality.
In these three days, I’ve comprehended everything I wished to know,”
Little Fox said to Ye Longchen.
Ye Longchen nodded slightly.
In truth, he wasn’t intent on rushing her away before dawn had broken; according to the previous agreent, Little Fox was indeed entitled to read until tonight, which would mark three full days spent in the Scripture Pavilion.
However, co nightfall with the dew growing heavy, should Little Fox find so pretext to delay and show incomprehension, it could be troubleso.
Yet the day was about to break, and sending Little Fox off at this ti, although it cut short her reading, allowed him to fulfill the task his master had assigned to him quite smoothly.
So people’s jobs, though they may facilitate others, are always considered with their own convenience in mind.
Afterward, Ye Longchen escorted Little Fox and Fang Xiang down to the sect gates and then turned to leave.
Ye Longchen, having completed his task, imdiately went to report back to his master.
Tian Xiamian also let out a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
“The debt of gratitude to the Ancestral Master is finally repaid.”
After Little Fox left the Corpse Nether Sect’s mountain gate with Fang Xiang, she suddenly turned around and bowed deeply toward the gate.
Fang Xiang, standing beside her, was puzzled.
“Miss, after the way they treated us, not even bringing you water or food during these three days, you still bow to them?
Oh, I get it—this is what they often say in the Realm of the Living, a form of worship, right?
You are cursing them.”
Little Fox straightened up, and with an expression of helpless patience, glanced at Fang Xiang.
“Uncle Fang Xiang, although their attitudes were not kind, they certainly did offer their help to this ti.
I do not know what kind of favor my adopted father owed their Ancestral Master, but they assisted , right?
A bow is just my way of showing gratitude.
Let’s return ho now.”
With that, Little Fox hopped and skipped ahead, while Fang Xiang followed behind.
Soon, the figures of the fox and ghost disappeared into the gloomy mist near the Corpse Nether Sect.
…
After sorting out all matters concerning the Dragon Serpent Gang, Zhang San pondered about another reason to visit the Dragon Serpent Gang.
After all, though this ti he had made considerable contributions from the perspective of the Town Martial Office,
a very serious issue remained—he had not found the account book.
And unfortunately, this ledger was needed both by the Heavenly Punishnt Sect and sought by the Crown Prince’s n.
Even many officials on Chuan-Yu Road might be eying him, curious to know if the ledger was in his possession.
So now, having found nothing, Zhang San truly felt sowhat discontented.
However, the faces of the eleven Pond Masters who ca to bid farewell to Zhang San were blooming with happiness.
They had finally rid themselves of this plague like Zhang.
Once he leaves, let the disciples go out and buy so firecrackers to celebrate.
But, as Zhang San’s gaze swept around, he noticed sothing.
“Where is Deputy Gang Master Lv?”
“Oh, he’s seldom been out and about lately, probably heartbroken since that female disciple left.”
The others promptly started sniggering collaboratively.
Everyone knew that when it ca to his private life, Lv Dagen was indeed not a good man.
Feeling heartbroken at this ti was quite expected.
Zhang San suddenly thought—if I leave now, coming back will be much more challenging.
But if I take the opportunity to invite Lv Dagen to leave with , I could later return him.
Wouldn’t that offer an excellent pretext for my return!
“Actually, Lv Dagen and I share a deep friendship.
It would be inappropriate to leave without saying goodbye.
Co, take to Deputy Gang Master Lv.”
While the Pond Masters didn’t hold much regard for Lv Dagen, when Zhang San commanded, they dared not make a sound and could only lead Zhang San to Lv Dagen’s residence with resignation.
However, even before entering, Zhang San detected a scent of blood.
Zhang San imdiately pushed the door open and charged inside.
But once inside, he discovered only mottled bloodstains on the floor.
“Where is Lv Dagen!?”
The Pond Masters outside were also incredibly shocked, and their hearts were filled with frustration.
The people from the Town Martial Office were about to leave, what are you doing at a ti like this!
What if the people from the Town Martial Office don’t leave!
Zhang San imdiately employed the Ghost Summoning thod, beginning to search for traces of Lv Dagen around the area.
However, the little ghosts found nothing at all.
Not only did they not find traces of Lv Dagen nearby, but they also couldn’t find him anywhere within the entire Dragon Serpent Gang’s territory.
Zhang San imdiately ordered everyone to start searching for Lv Dagen in all places within the Dragon Serpent Gang!
Although Lv Dagen spent his days idly in the Dragon Serpent Gang without any ambition.
But for him to suddenly disappear like this was indeed abnormal.
Especially since it happened right when he was about to leave…
Suddenly, Zhang San thought of sothing.
This ti he ca, he hadn’t disclosed what his purpose was.
Even the Pond Masters of the Dragon Serpent Gang thought it was just the Town Martial Office targeting their gang, but in reality, the higher-ups of the Dragon Serpent Gang must have known that Bai Yucheng was the true leader.
So, was it possible that the deputies from the earlier incident at Pang Gezhuang also knew Bai Yucheng’s true identity?
If that was the case, then perhaps from the start when he arrived, Lv Dagen knew what he was here to do.
So, during this ti, even though he had been searching for things, Lv Dagen neither supported nor opposed him, almost like becoming invisible, hiding himself away, unnoticed by anyone.
And after knowing about his departure, Lv Dagen had also left.
Could he be hiding from him?
With this thought, Zhang San imdiately closed the door to Lv Dagen’s room and then took out his abacus, placing it in front of a mirror and dialing a series of numbers on it.
A mont later, the mirror revealed the face of Cui Jiu, full of anticipation.
“Did you get the ledger?”
“How could it be that easy!”
Cui Jiu pursed his lips, asking, “Then why’d you call over?”
Zhang San said coldly, “I need your help to divine soone’s location.”
“Who?”
“Dragon Serpent Gang’s Deputy Gang Master Lv Dagen.”
Cui Jiu frowned slightly, speaking softly, “The technique he cultivates is the Internal and External Bagua.
The so-called Internal and External Bagua, divided into the Internal Bagua and External Bagua, Qiankun Movent, Qin Transformation, can be regarded as a very strong Cultivation Technique, especially when combined with other techniques to greatly enhance combat prowess.
It’s just that…”
“It seems that Lv Dagen has only cultivated this one technique.
So he’s skilled in Facial Transformation.”
“Ah!?”
Zhang San listened, completely baffled.
Wasn’t this Internal and External Bagua used to confront the enemy with Bagua?
How co it’s used for changing one’s own flesh and appearance?
But he had to admit, using Internal and External Bagua for facial transformation was indeed undetectable.
After all, all the flesh is your true body.
“So he must have transford into a skinny man and sneaked out of the Dragon Serpent Gang, right?” asked Zhang San curiously.
A mont later, after Cui Jiu finished the divination, he let out a long breath.
“No.
He transford into an even fatter man and has left the Dragon Serpent Gang, heading south!”
“Good.
I’ll handle Lv Dagen’s matter myself, you don’t need to intervene!”
Having said that, Zhang San put away the abacus and turned to leave.
