Chapter 1031 Ambush on the Road
Never sleep.

When Hong Jiu arrived, the teahouse had just closed. He had just greeted An Zhixian and An Nanfeng when Feng Xiaoran walked in.

"I heard that your young lady wants to sell out my Tianji Sect?"

Hong Jiu, who was already worried that Feng Xiaoran would misunderstand Lin Jinyan, felt that this trip was a good one:
"Master Feng, please don't talk nonsense. The Tianji Sect takes money but does not do anything. The young lady just wanted to use the excuse that there are good items in Chuchen Pawnshop to attract people to the pawnshop. She never thought of mentioning the Tianji Sect."

Feng Xiaoran sat down by himself:

"Humph, it's just two days late. Who said she didn't do anything? She's smart enough to know that you can't touch a tiger's butt."

An Zhixian waved at Hong Jiu, motioning her to take a seat:

"You should know your limits when it comes to being angry. How can you treat the serious business of Tianji Sect as a joke?"

Feng Xiaoran took the tea handed to him by Zhu Qing:
"You are naturally on her side. But don't forget, she is investigating everything about everyone in the Cheng family. Are you sure you want to let her know?"

An Zhixian was silent for a moment:
"It doesn't matter if she doesn't know about some of the individuals."

Feng Xiaoran took out a thick envelope from his arms and threw it to Zhu Qing:
"You are not completely confused yet. I know that since Hong Jiu has passed on the message, you will tell the little fox the news even if I don't give it to you. Instead of asking you to do a favor, I'd rather make some money from her."

Seeing An Zhixian take the envelope from Zhu Qing's hand, open it and take a closer look, Feng Xiaoran picked up the cup and drank slowly:

"Don't worry, I'm not you, the person she shouldn't know. It's not on this list."

Hong Jiu leaned towards An Nanfeng and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle An, who is it? Why can't Miss know?"

An Nanfeng shook his head: "Go ask the master or Young Master Feng."

Hong Jiu sat up straight and complained in his heart: If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.

In a quiet alley.

After leaving Buyehou, Hong Jiu avoided people and returned to Lin Mansion. He noticed someone was following him, so he put his hand on his waist and stopped:

"Come out." A man in night clothes, with only his eyes exposed, landed lightly from the roof:
"I heard that there is a female assassin in Mingye Pavilion who has never made any mistakes when she was paid. I admire her very much and wanted to learn something from her. But she suddenly retired from the underworld a few years ago. I didn't expect to meet her here today."

Hong Jiu narrowed his eyes and said calmly:
"got the wrong person."

After saying that, he was about to leave. When he passed by the masked man, the other party suddenly attacked and attacked Hong Jiu in the face.
-
Never sleep.

After Zhu Qing sent Hong Jiu away, An Zhixian and Feng Xiaoran discussed some serious matters and suddenly asked about Ling Yi.

An Nanfeng: "I am guarding as you ordered. Everything is normal."

While the two were talking, Feng Xiaoran quickly put the letter he had taken from the table back into the envelope and stuffed it into his arms:
"If I leave it here, you'll be giving it to her for nothing. I've received money for it."

An Zhixian rolled his eyes. Before he could say anything, Zhu Qing walked into the room quickly:

"Master, Hong Jiu was ambushed by a masked man on his way back to the Lin Mansion."

Upon hearing this, An Zhixian and the other two were all surprised.

An Zhixian: "Where is Hong Jiu now? Is he injured?"

"He is not injured. The man is quite skilled and seems to be testing him. He did not use any killing moves. Hong Jiu can handle it. Ling Wu is protecting him in the dark. He will take action if there is any danger."

Feng Xiaoran: "Do you know who is coming?"

Seeing Zhu Qing shaking his head, Feng Xiaoran called the guard Dong Rui and ordered him to return to Tianjimen as soon as possible to find out the identity of the masked man.

An Nanfeng: "Who could it be that wants to test Hong Jiu?"

Feng Xiaoran: "I may know who it is, but I'm not sure. Let's wait for Dong Rui to come back."
