Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 78 Nighttime Investigation in Shuofang, Uncovering Secrets in the Deep Courtyard (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Intending to go back and study this manual properly, Lu Wubing turned back to look at the man in black, and his eyes suddenly flickered.

A sliver of light reflected from the hem of the other person's lifted shirt.

Upon picking it up, I discovered it was an exquisitely crafted token with the characters "乙五" engraved on it.

He was deeply shaken.

What?
Class B status, ranked fifth.

Is there also a Class A?

Even higher levels, like Earth-level or Heaven-level.

"We've stirred up a hornet's nest."

Lu Wubing's first reaction was to inwardly cry out in alarm.

Holding the silver token was like holding a hot potato.

It’s not right to lose it, and it’s not right not to lose it.

"No, it's too late now. Even if we wanted to distance ourselves, it would be a waste of time. [Moon-Grabbing and Star-Picking Hand] Gong Wuying, whether commissioned or instructed by someone, came to the house to steal things."

If he acted voluntarily, there's still a sliver of hope for things to turn around. If we kill him, no one will know.

But this idea is mostly not true.

If the person behind this isn't found, there will likely be many unresolved issues later on...

"Kitty, you're so young and already so lazy, how can you sleep like that?"

Lu Wubing reached out and rubbed the little guy in his arms who was yawning and half-closing his eyes. He brought the token closer and smiled, "Smell it. As long as we find the person who has recently come into contact with the token, we'll give you a bonus when we get back."

The kitten still seemed reluctant to move.

Lu Wubing smiled: "These little fish smell delicious, pan-fried in ghee, seven-tenths golden brown..."

Whoosh!
The kitten was wide awake and leaped up.

Meow...

It seems to be saying that this time it's going to eat its fill.

Lu Wubing couldn't understand the cat's chatter, so he just let it be.

After sniffing the sign, the kitten jumped to the ground, glanced back at the sign, and meowed softly.

Lu Wubing knew that this was a way of telling him to catch up.

Good guy.

When it comes to tracking technology, I've never been impressed by anyone.

……

Follow the kitten through twists and turns, wandering around several streets.

The city of Mingyang was extremely quiet and cold at night.

No one showed up at all.

Occasionally, when passing by the homes of wealthy families, one could only faintly hear the sounds of feasting and dancing coming from inside the mansions; no one would come out to stroll around.

Except myself.

About 15 minutes later.

The cat came to a large house and refused to leave.

It only makes a slight guttural sound, which is barely audible unless you listen carefully.

Lu Wubing immediately understood its meaning.

Enter the village quietly, don't fire.

We've found our destination.

The other person who had touched the token is inside.

"Could it be that I'm going to become a thief this time?"

Lu Wubing looked at the building, feeling somewhat troubled.

He knew whose house it was.

A large sign hung in front, the lanterns emitted a bright red light, and several guards were talking quietly.

Lu Wubing could even hear soft, even breathing sounds coming from inside the house, scattered throughout the house.

"It's actually [Shuofang Pavilion]! I heard that the owner of this jewelry and jade shop is named Tong Changyou, and he has businesses all over the north and south."

"Didn't they say that the treasures in the [Shuofang Pavilion] were coveted by Gong Wuying, the [Moon-Picking Star-Gathering Hand], resulting in heavy losses?"

Lu Wubing thought of some news he had heard, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

Indeed, hearing is unreliable, and seeing is not necessarily believing.

Even a story about a thief stealing treasure could be a hoax.

How much of what's real in this world is real?

Whether it was real or fake, Lu Wubing didn't care. He gently cut off the hem of his black undergarment, covered his face, leaving only his eyes visible.

He leaped over the wall, fully activating the [Pine and Crane Guidance] technique to minimize his own presence.

He slipped silently among the flowering trees and pavilions, his footsteps barely making a sound.

They evaded wave after wave of patrols and made their way straight to where the lights were.

Whether it's a treasure or not, Lu Wubing doesn't really care.

Not to mention that the Lu family of Huichuntang is quite wealthy, they have already obtained a large sum of money by killing thieves and looting corpses along the way. Even if they spend money like water and take medicine like food, they can still manage to make ends meet.

He wasn't particularly greedy for wealth; at this moment, he had only one purpose: to see who Gong Wuying was colluding with.

Once this person is found, we can pretty much understand why he broke into our house to steal.

……

Kittens never disappoint.

Unless it is unwilling.

Through the half-open lattice window, Lu Wubing turned his head to approach and saw a middle-aged man with a round, plump face.

Even as this person is intently studying the words on the paper, frowning in deep thought, he exudes a gentle and reliable aura.

Lu Wubing had exceptional eyesight.

In addition, subtly apply the "dripping water energy" to the eyes.

At this moment, the empty room was filled with light, and everything seemed much brighter.

The dim, yellow light seemed to transform into a blazing sun, shining onto the paper.

Through the folds and bulges of the paper, some writing could be clearly seen.

Without bothering to read it carefully, dozens of clear characters came into view, forming an irregular pattern that was firmly memorized.

This method was a shorthand technique that Lu Wubing learned in his previous life when he participated in a memory competition. He had practiced it for a period of time.

It works perfectly now, without any hindrance.

The connected words flowed through my mind one by one.

Try to understand its meaning.

Lu Wubing felt a chill run down his spine.

[...using Jin Yutang Shen... as leverage, Tianxing Sect cannot escape...Seven Emotions Heavenly Sound...Wang Xinyue...]

Because of the angle.

What Lu Wubing saw was incomplete and incoherent.

But he still guessed something important.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he stepped back.

"who……"

Before he could even take a step, he caught a glimpse of the round-faced fat man out of the corner of his eye. The man's gentle and kind eyes suddenly changed, and his face twitched and became slightly ferocious.

At the same time, his hand trembled slightly, and the paper in his hand turned into powder.

A howling wind swept through the room, rushing towards the window.

'He's actually a top-tier expert, no wonder he gave me a warning and didn't want to look any longer.'

Lu Wubing felt a sense of relief. He retreated, not bothering to conceal his presence. He lightly touched the ground with his feet, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

In the small space, the distance between them became as vast as the horizon. Lu Wubing used his lightness skill to its limit and retreated three steps to the courtyard wall.

boom……

A palm strike came from behind, roaring and howling, shattering the wood chips into fragments that shot out in all directions.

At the same time, a sharp gust of wind silently shot out from a dark room in the east wing...

Lu Wubing completely ignored the palm strike, turned his feet, and dodged the round-faced middle-aged man who was pursuing him.

A sword strike shattered the halo of light and pierced the sharp wind.

puff……

The teacup shattered into more than ten pieces, and shards flew towards the round-faced middle-aged man's head.

Lu Wubing took a single step and turned to rush into the alley.

The long sword in his hand hummed and vibrated on its own.

A full six layers of dense, lingering force penetrated from the sword into the arm and surged towards the internal organs.

His body surged with vitality, and he forcibly suppressed the penetrating force, almost vomiting blood from the discomfort.

After turning left and right, thanks to the strange ability of the [Pine and Crane Guidance] to conceal its breath, it finally shook off the figure rushing towards it from behind.

Only then did he lean against the side wall of a house, hiding in the shadows of the moonlight, and let out a long sigh.

"Not only is that fat guy a top-notch expert, but he is also very familiar with the seven-layered wave-like force that he used to attack with the cup."

Gu Dongting unexpectedly turned back, not fleeing far away, but hiding inside the city.

"Very well, very well indeed. With my current cultivation level, I cannot kill you, but someone should be able to..."

Thinking about the incomplete content of the letter.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Wubing's eyes.

After checking the location, he quietly crept to the outside of the Jin Yutang wall and took out the satin cloth and small charcoal blocks he had prepared in his inner pocket.

I quickly wrote a few lines, wrapped the pebbles in them, and threw them in.
