Chapter 696 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 4
As soon as he landed, another jade pendant swung towards him with a strong gust of wind.
He caught the jade pendant, and the internal force emanating from it propelled him out the door.
A group of men in black surrounded the room and rushed in as soon as they saw the people inside.
Liu Suifeng, alone, handled a group of people with ease, his clothes fluttering and his movements as graceful as the wind during the fight.
He was now in peak condition. With a flick of his sleeve, several silver threads shot out from the fan hidden in his sleeve, quickly reaping the lives of the men in black.
Xiao Qiushui, who was outside the door, saw the words on the jade pendant and her expression changed. She quickly turned around and went inside to help.
Before the two could even exchange pleasantries after dealing with their clients, several more people entered and began loudly proclaiming Xiao Qiushui's identity.
Upon hearing this, a fleeting emotion flashed in Liu Suifeng's eyes: "Thank you very much for your help, young hero Xiao. I am deeply grateful."
"You're too kind. I was just trying to help someone in need. May I ask if you are Tingyujian or Fenglang? Is this jade pendant yours?"
Xiao Qiushui took out the jade pendant she had just caught and handed it to him.
Liu Suifeng accepted the jade pendant without changing his expression and nodded: "It is indeed me, and the jade pendant is also mine. Young Master Xiao, do you recognize me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiushui's expression lit up with joy, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She had finally found the lucky bag.
Feng Lang was a lucky bag he gave to Xiao Qiushui, and could also be considered a powerful helper.
Overjoyed, he grabbed Liu Suifeng's hand and said, "I know you. Although we don't know each other yet, it's not too late to get to know each other now."
Liu Suifeng froze for a moment, barely suppressing the urge to send the person flying.
He looked at Xiao Qiushui with a questioning gaze, but secretly used his internal energy to activate the poison he had just suppressed: "Young hero, what is this... uh..."
Xiao Qiushui was listening to him speak when she saw him suddenly kneel down on one knee, clutching his chest in pain.
"Brother Feng, what's wrong? Brother Feng!" This is his lucky bag, how could something happen to it?
Beside them, the three who had originally thought they had finished telling their boss about their achievements and were just standing there listening to them also came over.
"Boss, what's wrong with him?" Zuoqiu Chaoran asked.
Xiao Qiushui shook her head: "I don't know either, but it looks like poisoning."
Liu Suifeng lowered his eyes, about to speak, when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Brother Feng? Let's go, let's take him away and find a doctor to see him." Xiao Qiushui helped the man up, and Deng Yuhan and Tang Rou also went to help support him.
The group led a patient out of the room, and the room became quiet.
On the beam of the side room, there was a man dressed in a black robe with exquisite embroidered patterns and wearing a half-face mask of the same color.
Wen Piaoran, who seemed to blend into the darkness, was sitting cross-legged on it.
Having just finished watching a lively event, and still finding it exciting and memorable, she pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open.
It was a pity she couldn't eat sunflower seeds just now, since they were all martial arts practitioners and had excellent hearing. However, she was able to keep herself undetected.
Xiao Qi reminded her, "Host, didn't you notice that the pill Liu Suifeng just ate was given to him by you?"
"Really? That explains why the bottle and the smell of medicine seemed familiar."
It seems she gave it away when she first came into this world. More than ten years have passed, and she hadn't thought of it for a moment.
Moreover, she refined too many pills, and the one she sent out was just the most common type of blood-restoring pill, which she had refined when she first started learning alchemy.
I don't usually use this kind of thing; a sip of spiritual spring water is enough to solve the problem, so there's no need to take medicine.
Xiao Qi asked again, "Host, why did you suddenly run off so fast to see the excitement? I thought you would dawdle and leave."
Wen Piaoran looked up at the moon and casually replied, "Do you understand 'do whatever you want'? Since we're already here, we should take a good look around."
"Okay, you're right, I can't win this argument." Xiao Qi gave her two thumbs up.
A short while later, Amu came to find Wen Piaoran, who then had a new room arranged for him to stay at Qunfang Courtyard that night.
"Master, this is a message that just came from inside the door."
Amu initially thought that her master had sent her to check if there was any news coming from inside the door, as a way to get her away from the excitement and watch the commotion alone. However, she was surprised to find that there really was a letter.
After reading the letter, Wen Piaoran set it on fire: "Recently, the Power Gang and Zhu Datianwang's people have started to plot against our Qingyun Sect again."
"Master, what do you want to do?" Amu asked.
"These people are always itching for a beating. After a few years, they forget the pain they suffered before. They never dare to do anything really serious. They just want to make us uncomfortable."
Xiao Qi revealed what she had found out: "Host, that's indeed the case on Zhu Datianwang's side, but Li Chenzhou, the leader of the Power Gang, didn't give the order. It was his subordinates who made the decision on their own."
"It seems to be the big villain behind it all, about to stir up conflict between several forces. It's a good opportunity to give them some trouble in return. Yunshang has already sent someone to keep an eye on Zhu Datianwang."
After Wen Piaoran finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "The people from the Power Gang... didn't we just meet one tonight?"
"Host, you mean their deputy leader Liu Suifeng? Not his side, but Sword King's side," Xiao Qi said.
“The Sword King is in cahoots with that guy, and I’ll definitely get my revenge on him. Now both the Sword King and Liu Suifeng want the Hero’s Token, but luckily the Power Gang can’t get it.”
Ever since the news spread that the Hero's Decree contained the "Book of Forgotten Sunshine," various forces have been eager to make their move.
"Master, why don't you let me do it?" Amu volunteered.
After a moment's consideration, Wen Piaoran agreed: "Once the Sword King's men make their move, you take your men to destroy half of the forces he has secretly established. There's no need to rush back..."
As for Liu Suifeng…” she raised an eyebrow: “For now, we don’t have any conflict with him. Let’s see.”
In fact, the Qingyun Sect controls the private distribution of many people's influence, including not only martial arts forces but also members of the royal family.
It's just that the Qingyun Sect has always been one to mind their own business.
Hidden within the gates, they also ran a lucrative business selling information.
But if someone dares to provoke them, they will naturally retaliate.
She also had to go to Xiao Qiushui every now and then to give him some information, as it was just right for the male lead to fight the villain.
Let those people have something to do, so they won't be bothered by watching their Qingyun Sect.
Amu nodded: "Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

After Xiao Qiushui helped "Feng Lang" cure the poison in his body, she led her people back to the Huanhua Sword Sect.
“Brother Feng, your previous methods didn’t work. Those uncles and elders are unwilling to recommend me. Please think of another way for me to compete with my elder brother for the position of sect leader.”
Only by becoming the leader of the Huanhua Sword Sect can he rewrite the story.
Liu Suifeng leisurely picked up the kettle on the table and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
"I've always wondered why you're so eager to become the leader of Huanhua Sect?"
Xiao Qiushui sighed: "If I'm not the sect leader, there are many things I can't do, and I'll be restricted everywhere. Anyway, I can't explain it to you clearly, so let's think of a solution first."
