Chapter 261: Chapter 260: As soon as I wanted to nap, someone handed me a pillow!_1
A shadow silently sneaked in, as light as a wisp of wind.
The shadow quietly merged with the carved screen at the edge of the curtain, almost blending into the screen’s shadow.
The village chief at the head of the bed kept cursing, entirely oblivious to the extra person in the room.
"Master, master, there’s someone from the county city who wishes to see you."
A servant reported this from outside the door.
Someone from the county city?
The village chief quickly stood up, aggravating his wounds in so doing, causing him extreme pain which made him grit his teeth.
He hurriedly clutched his waist, "Who is this visitor?"
"It’s a stranger, sir, someone we’ve never seen before. He says he’s from the county city. Master, do you wish to see him?"
"From the county city? I understand. Of course, why wouldn’t I see him!"
The annoyed village chief said, forcibly sitting up, wincing with pain, and kept groaning, "Oh, it hurts so bad! Where is everybody? Why isn’t anyone helping me change my clothes?"
With this angry yell, there came the sound of rushing feet from outside the house.
A maidservant entered after lifting the curtain.
"Master."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help me change my clothes!"
"Yes, master."
The maidservant hurriedly assisted him in dressing.
Just as he got his clothes on, the curtain fluttered and an utterly ordinary-looking man walked in, saluting the village chief with a fist-palm salute.
"Mr. Village Chief."
"Of course, please sit down. What brings you here..."
"Mr. Village Chief, you’re too kind. Our master sent me here to inquire about the progress of the matter, and how that thing is being dealt with?"
"The matter is progressing well!"
Mr. Village Chief answered with a full-faced smile, "Please tell your master that things are going extremely well. Many people within a radius of several miles already know that Su Pan’er and Lui Muyi are involved, and Qin Yi and Su Yue’er are rolling down a slope!"
"How dare you say that! Is it your place to spread such things?" The man’s face fell dramatically.
"Yes, yes, yes, I deserve to die, I deserve to die."
Mr. Village Chief hastened to smile apologetically. But in his heart, he was fuming at them for lacking the courage of their convictions. If they had the nerve to do it, they should have the nerve to own up to it!
The man’s face didn’t soften a bit: "Is it really true? On my way here, I inquired about it and many people knew nothing about this."
"This, this..."
Mr. Village Chief was embarrassed, as he bowed his hand respectfully, "I will definitely send more people to spread the news tomorrow. I will handle your master’s business properly. Please be assured, sir, and please put in a good word for me to your master."
As he spoke, he quickly stuffed a money bag into the man’s hand.
The man weighed the bag in his hand and finally broke into a smile.
"If that’s the case, I’ll go back and report that Mr. Village Chief has already won and the result will be out soon. Mr. Village Chief, what do you think?"
"Certainly, certainly, thank you very much!"
The village chief repeatedly bowed, ignoring his pain and personally escorted the man out of the door.
Flatteries kept flowing outside the door, and the shadow hidden behind the screen moved suddenly.
He quickly rummaged through the desk and the drawers. Apart from a fair amount of silver, he found nothing out of the ordinary, so he quickly returned everything to its original place.
Noticing the pillow casually thrown beside the bed, a gleam appeared in the shadow’s eyes.
He quickly picked up the pillow and groped around, indeed, there was something inside.
He swiftly took out the foreign object, surprisingly, they were a few letters!
Just as he was about to examine them, the village chief’s scolding voice came from outside the door.
"What are you standing there for? Are you all blind? Can’t you see the master is injured? Help him in, quickly. Ouch! Be gentle..."
The man in black casually tucked the letter into his chest, quickly returned the pillow to its original position, darted to the window and with a nimble leap, he silently jumped out of the window, disappearing into the night.
Almost simultaneously, two maidservants helped the village chief into the room.
"Damn it! He’s nothing but a lackey, yet he dared to disrespect me. When I have money and power, I’ll make him pay!"
He murmured as he slowly lay down, swearing again when he came into contact with his painful wounds.
"Get out, all of you, get out! You’re all in my sight."
He sent all his servants away, then lay in bed grumbling.
His hands accidentally touched the pillow, he couldn’t help but pause.
Something wasn’t right!
Why was the pillow flipped over?
He quickly picked it up and felt around it. Instantly, his face turned pale!
"There’s been a thief! Catch the thief! Quick, come here, catch the thief! There’s a thief! Catch the thief!"
Clang, clang, clang...
A flurry of gong sounds rang out.
Hearing the earth-shattering gong, the dark figure looked back at the grand courtyard far behind him and scoffed.
Those slow-witted fools?
Wanting to catch him? In their dreams!
He turned to leave, but the abnormality of the shadow ahead made him pause, he then commanded, "Who’s there?"
"Impressive! The way you’ve noticed that, it’s no wonder you’re a disciple of the old man surnamed Cheng from Valley of Ghosts, quite surpassing your master."
A deep and cold laughter issued from the darkness.
The dark figure’s heart missed a beat, his actions had been so secretive, yet he had been noticed by someone!
This isn’t good!
Pan’er went out alone, could she have been followed?
At this moment, Su Pan’er was dealing with a pack of wolves, unarmed.
Recently, there was a sudden influx of beasts circling the outskirts of Deicide Mountain, unwilling to leave.
One night, a chilling roar echoed from the mountain in waves, scaring the people at the foot of the mountain, lasting the entire night.
Farmers who had fields near the mountain range were frightened, they could only watch as their land went barren, too scared to step any closer.
Su Pan’er understood, these roars were likely due to the beasts fighting each other for territory
Luckily, summer has just arrived, and there were plenty of food and water sources. In the following days, most of the animals hovering around the outskirts of the Deicide Mountain began to leave gradually.
She came out today to practice boxing, planning to casually find some fierce animals to train her skills.
Once on the mountain, she defeated a wild boar with her bare hands, but the stench of the boar’s blood attracted a pack of wolves.
Although there weren’t many wolves, they were a pack of old wolves, with actions that are highly covert.
If she hadn’t improved her martial arts and increased her senses, it would have been difficult to perceive.
Just as packs of wolves were about to surround her, she had a sudden intuition. She turned around and met with pairs of wolf eyes glowing in the dark. It was then she realized she had been followed.
The wolf leading the pack seemed to understand that their actions had been exposed and immediately howled up to the sky. Instantly, the wolves began to encircle Su Pan’er.
A glimmer of delight flashed across Su Pan’er’s eyes!
When she was about to fall asleep, someone was kind enough to offer a warm pillow!
Before the wolves could pounce on her, Su Pan’er moved swiftly, with punch and kicks, repeatedly striking.
Any wolf that came near her was sent flying by her punches and kicks.
Presently, she had reached the Great Perfection realm, on the verge of breaking through to the Acquired realm, so even though these wolves were old and experienced fighters, she was still handling them with ease.
Unable to catch their prey for a long time, the wolves began to howl in a frenzy, their eyes flashing green and they all rushed towards Su Pan’er.
