Chapter 262: Chapter 261 Search_1

At the foot of the mountain.

A dark figure stared solemnly at the silhouette in the shadows across from him.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his hand slowly went behind him, reaching for the small dagger on his waist without any sound.

"Who are you? What skill is there in hiding and showing your tail?"

"Want me to come out? That depends on whether you have the ability! Take this!"

With a reprimanding voice coming from the shadows, a strong gust of wind was heading straight towards the dark figure.

The dark figure instinctively dodged, his upper body flashing backward, avoiding the sneak attack from his opponent. The gust of wind went straight past him and sharply embedded itself into a small tree behind him, causing the tree to shake violently.

It was actually a stone!

Such a formidable Inner Strength, and such profound martial arts!

The pupils of the dark figure, visible from the top of his mask, contracted. In the next moment, a series of leaves, whistling like sharp blades, rapidly approached him.

The dark figure was startled!

This rapidly waving dagger created a sea of shadows, effectively shielding him completely.

The leaves collided with the dagger, making a sound like the clash of gold and stone. The dark figure felt his palm go numb and was, in his heart, quite horrified.

"Take this!"

Just after exhausting all his strength to block the leaves’ attack and catching his breath, the opponent yelled abruptly.

A few small daggers were heading straight towards him.

The dark figure, with full concentration and his Inner Strength running wildly, barely managed to dodge the attack from these few daggers with his continuous evasive moves.

Before he could stabilize his racing heart, the figure from under the tree was at his side like a streak of lightning.

Even with all his might and resistance, he was still at a disadvantage.

After dozens of moves back and forth, the dark figure’s dagger was knocked away, and a long sword was held to his throat. He closed his eyes and felt a wave of despair washing over him.

"Speak, who are you, and who is really pulling the strings?" A sharp voice echoed in his ear.

"If you want to kill me, just do it. There’s no need for words!"

The dark figure closed his eyes and spoke coldly.

"You’ve got some guts!"

The one holding the sword praised him, then chuckled, "As long as you honestly reveal your identity, who’s pulling the strings, and your cultivation method, not only can I spare your life, but I can also give you a great deal of wealth, allowing you to live a life of riches and leisure, how does that sound?"

"Impossible! One can be killed, but cannot be humiliated!"

The dark figure spoke coldly.

"Oh? So you have the guts to break into the place alone, but don’t have the guts to reveal your identity?"

The man holding the sword suddenly changed his tone, revealing playfulness and delight.

"Huh?"

The dark figure’s heart clenched. He immediately opened his tightly closed eyes, slowly pulled down the mask on his face, revealing it to be Qin Yi.

"Master Uncle Cheng, weren’t you supposed to be out of town..."

Old Cheng chuckled proudly, "Very good, very good! You are quite the brave one, yet considerate, truly ’Green comes from blue, but it’s better than blue.’ Just over a month of learning, and you already have such abilities."

Qin Yi looked embarrassed.

"Master Uncle Cheng, don’t mock me. This was... I had no other choice."

"When did I ever mock you? I am actually praising you."

Old Cheng sheathed his sword, nodding at him repeatedly and looking at him with admiration, "I was watching you from the moment you left. Very good, truly praiseworthy. You’re calm and composed when faced with a crisis and know when to advance and when to retreat. Unyielding in the face of power and incorruptible in the face of wealth. Good, very good!"

"Master Uncle Cheng, are you really...?

"Or could it be fake?"

Old Cheng feigned anger, puffing on his beard, "Your uncle originally wanted to test your adaptability, but I did not expect...Yeah! ’Green comes from blue, but it’s better than blue.’ It seems that it will not be long before I have nothing more to teach you!"

"Uncle Master, where is this coming from? I thought I was going to lose my life just now!"

Qin Yi guilelessly scratched the back of his head.

"You’re sneakier than you look! If anyone underestimates you...hehe...they might end up in your belly, bones and all!"

Old Cheng laughed heartily before lightly patting Qin Yi on the shoulder, "Or else, how could I know that you’ve improved so quickly? Alright, hurry back! Tonight seems like it’s going to be a bit of a mess."

"Yes, Uncle Master!"

Qin Yi quickly excused himself.

Watching Qin Yi’s receding figure, Old Cheng couldn’t help but smile and nod. He originally planned to retire here, but unexpectedly, he discovered such a promising student. In just a little over a month, Qin Yi had learned almost all of Old Cheng’s life’s work.

Heaven is truly kind to him!

Qin Yi dashed back into the house and quickly removed his black clothes and straightened up. Only then did he light the candle in the house.

Less than half an hour later, he heard hurried footsteps.

A cold glint flickered in Qin Yi’s eyes.

The village chief is quicker than expected!

They figured out it was me and Pan’er so quickly and sent people after us. It’s about time they got a taste of their own medicine!

Boom! Boom!

Boom, boom, boom...

The frantic sound of pounding on the door.

"Open up, hurry up! Hurry up and open the door!"

The manic pounding on the door continued.

After tidying up his surroundings, Qin Yi stood up and opened the door, yawning. "What’s going on here? It’s the middle of the night, and you’re disturbing people’s dreams?"

As soon as he opened the door, a group of torch-wielding village administrators rushed in, looking very aggressive. But as soon as they got close, their voices died down.

They pushed and shoved each other.

They were still fresh from the memory of that wild girl from yesterday beating people up.

Left with no choice, the head of the village administrators, had to step forward, fist in palm, and gave an apologetic smile to Qin Yi. "This... Scholar Qin, it’s like this. We received orders to search for a thief who has just robbed the village chief’s house. So you see..."

"Oh! You’re chasing a thief!"

Qin Yi nodded leisurely, "If that’s the case, shouldn’t you hurry up? Why did you come here? Are you planning on lying around?"

"But we..." The leader of the village officials faltered, wanted to say that they had to search indoors, but couldn’t find the words and helplessly glanced at his companions.

"If there’s no problem, you all should go back and rest early. Yawning! My Pan’er has a bad temper, luckily she’s asleep now. If she is awakened... hehe."

Qin Yi laughed twice and gave everyone a mild look.

Upon hearing these words, the leader and the following village administrators involuntarily took several steps back.

They looked at each other.

One of the village administrators who was injured on his face quietly tugged at him, "Boss, why don’t we just go? It seems that there are no thieves here."

Never mind not seeing any thieves, even if there really were thieves inside, with their skills, they wouldn’t dare to catch them.

Why not play nice early and avoid future pain?

As soon as he said this, the village administrators behind him nodded in unison.

Qin Yi gave a faint smile: "If that’s the case, folks, please go ahead! Otherwise, if you disturb that person in my house, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave even if you want to!"

The village administrators hastily withdrew.

"Wait a minute!"

The village chief suddenly had an idea: "It seems we were all fooled by that scholar. Su Pan’er is skilled in martial arts, so her alertness must be stronger than the average person. We made such a big noise and still didn’t wake her up, something’s fishy here!"
