I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 54 Chamber Pot Boy
In fact, Xie An also had this question.

He just felt that he and Lin Yun were not very familiar with each other, and asking this question rashly would make people feel that he was somewhat disrespecting Master Wei Xiang.

Zhang Lin and Lin Yun have known each other for many years, so it is naturally more appropriate to ask this question.

Lin Yun glanced at Xie An and Zhang Lin. "Although Wei Xiangzhu's injuries haven't healed yet, he can't stand the Plum Blossom Monster getting involved in our black market business. He will come in person tonight to put pressure on us. You can rest assured."

Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With Master Wei Xiang at our side, we're infallible. If the Plum Blossom Monster dares to attack tonight, I'll make sure he doesn't return."

Lin Yun gave some encouragement and then left alone, leaving Xie An to continue following.

Zhang Lin wanted to leave with Lin Yun, but after taking two steps, he turned back and glanced at Xie An, his face full of apology. "Brother, I was too impatient for what happened this morning. When Meihua blames me for this, I will invite you to meet at Cuihua Tower in Shuideng Town and apologize in person."

"A small gathering is enough, but there's no need to apologize." Xie An agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that Xie An didn't seem too angry, Zhang Lin left with peace of mind.

"Boss, why don't you go and have a rest, and I'll keep an eye on it. If there's any movement, I'll let Wang Xiang notify you." Liang Zhi took the initiative to come forward and show his goodwill.

Although Liang Zhi had obeyed Xie An's orders before, he was more afraid of him and still felt a little unhappy.

Now that he saw that this new deacon not only took care of his cousin's business but also generously took credit for himself in front of Great Deacon Lin Yun, he truly admired and wanted to follow him.

You know, when he followed Zhang Biao before, no matter how well he did his job, all the credit went to Zhang Biao.

Compared with this moment, the contrast is too obvious.

Xie An was very perceptive about Liang Zhi's change of heart and nodded immediately: "Alright. I should go back and make some preparations."

"Farewell, Mr. Deacon."

"Ah."

Xie An returned to his own villa and began to deduce in his mind what might happen next:
First of all, even if Wei Dian came in person to support the team... Xie An didn't think he could capture the Plum Blossom Monster.

Wei Dian in his prime was severely injured by the Plum Blossom Monster, not to mention that Wei Dian is still seriously injured at this moment?

"Master Wei and the Grand Deacon are both here to lead the operation. The success or failure of what happens next has nothing to do with me. All I have to do is... don't die or get hurt during this operation to encircle and suppress the Plum Blossom Monster tonight!"

With this in mind, Xie An took out his newly bought four-stone heavy bow and armor-piercing arrows and began practicing in the yard.

After more than a year of practice, Xie An's archery skills had become quite advanced.

I can't say that I can hit the target every time within 200 meters, but I can definitely hit the target more than 90% of the time.

But after all, it takes some getting used to after changing the bow. Only when you can use it as easily as your own arm will you be more comfortable when you draw the bow and shoot.

Shhhhhh.

One arrow after another soared through the air, steadily piercing the core of the target a hundred meters away. But that wasn't the end. The powerful bow's powerful shooting force, combined with the armor-piercing arrow's immense penetrating power, pierced the leather target, continuing forward, piercing a bowl-sized osmanthus tree before falling to the ground.

"The heavy bow plus armor-piercing power really is amazing. If the Plum Blossom Monster is hit by one of my arrows, it will be crippled at least if not killed."

After an hour of practice, Xie An had become quite proficient with the new heavy bow, and finally put it down. He boiled some hot water, poured it into the tub, added tiger skin essence soup, and began to forge the skin membrane. Compared to the fighting outside, Xie An actually preferred the quiet practice of martial arts. The constant sense of growth he felt was intoxicating.

The next day at the end of the Shen time.

There was a hurried knock on the door, waking up Xie An who was practicing fetal breathing.

Xie An hurriedly left the bathtub, changed into his uniform robe, put on his quiver, hung his sword and heavy bow on his waist, and went out.

Liang Zhi was standing outside the door. "Boss, the market is almost closing. Those two vendors are packing up."

"Got it. You continue to follow." Xie An waved his hand to send Liang Zhi away, and hurried to Zhang Lin's yard next door, where he met Zhang Lin, Lin Yun... and Wei Dian.

Today, Wei Dian was wearing black armor and a broadsword hanging from his waist, but he was also wearing a conical hat, so his features could not be seen.

Although Xie An was curious, he did not neglect his courtesy and bowed, saying, "Master Wei Xiang!"

Wei Dian said softly, "Yes. I know all the details. Now that the market is about to close, I won't waste any more words. We will split into two teams and keep an eye on the two vendors. Lin Yun will keep an eye on one, and Zhang Lin and you will keep an eye on the other. This incense master will follow in secret and provide support for you."

Next, Wei Dian made some more detailed arrangements, such as immediately firing a signal arrow after discovering the plum blossom monster.

"Set off."

Following Lin Yun's order, everyone went their separate ways.

Lin Yun followed the fat man selling medicine, while Zhang Lin and Xie An followed another bearded hunter.

The fat man selling medicine closed his stall earlier, and Lin Yun followed him as soon as he got out of the canyon.

The bearded hunter was still selling the last few animal skins, so Xie An and Zhang Lin watched from a distance, ready to follow at any time.

At this moment, Xie An noticed that the chamber pot guy who had disappeared for a long time actually came to the black market to set up a stall.

This made Xie An very excited, as this was his hidden God of Wealth. However, thinking about the big event coming tonight, Xie An had to resist the urge to pick up the bargain.

"Brother, that bearded hunter has closed his stall. Let's follow him."

Zhang Lin's reminder made Xie An withdraw his gaze from the chamber pot boy, and then he followed the bearded hunter out of the black market.

At this moment, the sky was just beginning to brighten. The market had been closed for some time, and the mountain path was deserted. Only the bearded hunter was left walking the path. It was clear that the bearded hunter was happy, having reaped a rich harvest, but he was also cautious, constantly observing the surrounding movements.

Zhang Lin, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but mutter, "This guy is quite cautious."

Xie An did not answer, but instead stared intently at the direction of the mountain path. Suddenly, he noticed that the chamber pot boy had also come out, walking a few dozen meters behind the bearded hunter, also looking around cautiously.

The two of them walked together, one in front and one behind, for five or six miles.

Zhang Lin was very surprised and suddenly muttered, "Why is this guy always following behind the bearded hunter? Could it be... that this guy is the Plum Blossom Monster in disguise?"
