Chapter 184 Return to Taiping Town
The base of Xijianliu is within Anning County.

Lu Ping and the Secret Agents of Heaven and Earth didn’t know the way, but the Ten Evils had been undercover there before and knew the location, so they could let them lead the way.

Of course, the ten evil men are not characters that can be easily hired.

So Lu Ping chose to use his fists to teach them a lesson.

[Phase-based tasks detected: 'Ten Evils' · 'Smiling with a Dagger in the Heart·Hahaer' 'Half-human, Half-ghost·Yin Jiuyou' 'Harming Others and Not Benefiting Yourself·Bai Kaixin' 'Rather Die Than Suffer Loss/Desperately Taking Advantage·Ouyang Dingdang'...]

If the system hadn't reminded him, Lu Ping would have almost forgotten that he still had the main mission of the Ten Evils.

After beating up the five people in front of him, Lu Ping not only got five temporary tools, but also got new rewards from the system.

It’s just that perhaps there are no characters with similar characteristics to these people in the Thunderbolt world, so the rewards given by the system this time have almost nothing to do with them.

After careful selection, Lu Ping chose several moves that he had heard of and seen, namely, Non-Real Sword Technique, Ghost-Inducing Hollow Heart, Heaven-Destroying Hand, and Thousand-Jin Finger.

The non-real sword technique is Qin Jiaxian's skill;

Tiancanshou is a magic martial art with extremely cruel moves;
Guiyin Kongxin comes from "Supreme Magic", also known as the "consciousness killing method", which can attack the opponent's brain with consciousness, causing the opponent to become demented, crazy or surrender instantly, and even kill people invisibly from thousands of miles away;

The Thousand Jin Finger is Su Huanzhen's unique skill.

In the world of Thunderbolt, these martial arts are considered extremely rare martial arts moves and techniques.

But with Lu Ping's current internal strength foundation, it is not difficult to learn these martial arts. It only takes ten days at most to master them all.

Under the leadership of five villains, Lu Ping, Murong Jiu and the Secret Agents of Heaven and Earth, a group of nine people, spent two days and one night and finally arrived near the base camp of Xijianliu.

Coincidentally, their base was not far from Taiping Town, and the two places were only about half a day's walk away.

When they arrived at the destination, Lu Ping let the five villains go, and the rest chose to stay temporarily in Taiping Town.

After being away for several months, Lu Ping returned to his hometown in a very good mood. He couldn't wait to leave everyone around him and ran back home in a hurry.

There weren't many signs of anyone having visited the house, but because no one had lived there for so long, a thick layer of dust had accumulated.

Lu Ping stood at the door and thought for a while, then turned around and ran out, found Murong Jiu, and warmly invited her to stay at his home.

"We are sworn brothers and sisters, so how can I, as the eldest brother, let you stay in the inn?"

"Come to my house, I will make you feel at home!"

Faced with Lu Ping's sudden enthusiasm, Murong Jiu felt a little uneasy, frowned and asked: "You... don't have any intentions, do you?"

Lu Ping suddenly felt guilty and looked away: "What...what's your intention?"

"For example, coveting my beauty..."

Murong Jiu said this while pulling at his collar and taking a half step back cautiously.

"Are you kidding me? I'm that kind of person?!"

Lu Ping was furious, and he exuded his righteous aura: "I am a gentleman, and I will never be tempted by women!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Jiu looked at Lu Ping from head to toe again, thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

It's not that she believed Lu Ping was a 'gentleman', but she felt that with Lu Ping's martial arts, if he really wanted to do something to her, she would not be able to resist.

As it turned out, Murong Jiu's idea was correct.

When she followed Lu Ping to his house, she was forced to start a vigorous house cleaning.

At Lu Ping's home.

Murong Jiu took a rag and wiped the tables and chairs at home, as well as the bed where he would sleep tonight, complaining: "If I had known that I would need to work after coming here, I should have stayed in a first-class inn just now!"

Lu Ping mopped the floor and sighed, "Hey~ You didn't notice my good intentions at all..."

"Ha ha……"

Murong Jiu sneered: "Sorry, forgive my poor eyesight, I really don't see your 'good intentions' in tricking me into doing the cleaning!"

"Don't say 'haha' yet, just listen to my analysis and you'll know."

Lu Ping began to talk: "Although my house looks a little dirty, it's actually just dusty. It's actually very clean."

"But the inn is different. Do you think it's a good place?"

Murong Jiu asked back: "The First-Class Inn is the largest and best inn in Anning County. I want to hear why it is not a good place."

“First of all, it’s expensive!”

"Secondly, there is a mixed crowd there, and it is noisy from morning till night."

"The last and most important point is that even if the service of a first-class inn is very good, their guest rooms have been used by countless people. The pillows, quilts, and sheets in them have been used by countless people. They may carry invisible germs. What if you get sick after staying there?"

"So I'm doing this for your health!" "Besides, isn't Big Brother's home your home? What's there to complain about when you clean your own home?"

Lu Ping thought that this reason was impeccable, but after he finished speaking, he only got one sentence in return -

"You can talk, but don't stop what you're doing!"

Damn it, was my laziness discovered?

Murong Jiu still listened to Lu Ping's explanation.

Although she knew very well that the main reason Lu Ping asked her to live here was because the family needed someone to help with the house cleaning, she had to admit that his excuse was very convincing.

The two of them spent half a day cleaning.

Everything in the house was the same as when Lu Ping first left Taiping Town, except for two more large boxes. When he opened them, he saw countless priceless treasures inside.

"Is your family so wealthy?"

Seeing what was in the box, Murong Jiu was a little surprised.

Lu Ping's mouth twitched when he heard this: "Have you forgotten? This is what we brought out from the Emei Underground Palace!"

Murong Jiu suddenly realized: "Oh, right..."

"Come to think of it, besides the military manual I gave you, didn't you also get a set of Mohist Heart Technique and Mozi Sword Technique? Did you study them?"

Murong Jiu shook his head: "I just glanced over it a few times and didn't study it in depth."

Lu Ping was not surprised by this.

Mohist swordsmanship is only a second-rate swordsmanship in the Golden Light World, while the Armor and Martial Arts Classics is a first-rate martial art in the Thunderbolt World, so it is normal not to practice it.

It's like, when you have fine grains in your hands, who would care about the chaff?

There is still a lot of fine grain in Lu Ping's house, which should have been bought when Lin Pingzhi lived here.

Although it was well preserved and didn't seem to have attracted any rats or cockroaches, Lu Ping was still worried and decided to go to a restaurant.

He is quite strict when it comes to ensuring the safety and hygiene of imported food.

So the two of them came to a first-class inn.

It was dinner time, the busiest time of the day.

Chao Yiliu found a new musician and a new storyteller, who was telling the story of how Lu Ping assisted the imperial court in defeating three hundred gangsters in Qixia Town a few days ago.

After sitting down and listening for just one minute, Lu Ping realized that the other party's storytelling skills could not compare with Old Man Sun's, and there was no little girl next to him to help out, which made listening to the story much less interesting.

"This storyteller is not professional at all, just telling people about the underworld without even investigating the facts!"

Lu Ping was indignant and took out all his anger on the food in front of him, which made Murong Jiu embarrassed and speechless.

"Really? But I saw they were listening with great interest..."

"That's because the people here are very closed to the world of martial arts, and the protagonist of the story is me, the famous 'Boss of the Wanshiwu' in Taiping Town, so they will listen!"

As the two were talking, the storyteller had finished telling Lu Ping's story. After a short break, he began to tell a new story.

"…Seven days ago, several of the ten evil men pretended to surrender to the West Sword Clan, but secretly put laxatives in the food and drink of the West Sword Clan members, causing them to have diarrhea for three days and three nights without rest, causing them to return disastrously when they attacked the Axe Gang later…"

This story is related to the Western Sword School.

Because the Xijianliu base was not far from Taiping Town, everyone was alert, hoping to hear some useful information from the story to deal with possible crises.

Just as the storyteller was trapping the ten evil men so badly that Xi Jianliu was at a loss, and the audience was laughing loudly, a faint murderous intent suddenly emerged from a place in the crowd.

The murderous intent only appeared for a short breath of time, and then disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

The aura changed so quickly that even Murong Jiu beside him did not notice it.

But Lu Ping discovered the murderous intent at the first moment, quickly found the source, and locked the opponent's position.

There was a man sitting in the corner, drinking tea quietly.

This man's appearance and clothing were no different from those of ordinary people, but Lu Ping was sure that he was not a native of Taiping Town because he had never seen him in the town before.

He would react to Xi Jianliu being cheated. Could it be that this person is Xi Jianliu's secret agent lurking in Taiping Town?

If you think about it carefully, Xijianliu’s base is so close to Taiping Town, it is not surprising that they sent spies to lurk here.

Lu Ping suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Perhaps we can try to start with this person and torture him to find out Shangguan Haitang's whereabouts?
