Chapter 49 Report
To be honest, Chen Shunan was not entirely certain that Ahua was the murderer who had tried to kill him.

Insufficient evidence.

but……

Our Great Holy Dynasty acts based on strength, not evidence.

I doubt you, but I'm stronger than you, that's enough.

All the lack of evidence will give way to my strength.

Chen Shunan only tested the waters slightly by throwing a brick out, and naturally a dog was hit and barked in pain.

Now that I see it, I know I was right. You, Ahua, are indeed a two-faced and treacherous person!
The world is going to the dogs! The younger generation is getting worse and worse, and they've almost forgotten all about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness!

After Ahua, Manager Xiang, and Zhuang Kun entered the house, they did not come out again.

Fine wines and dishes were brought into the house in a continuous stream, and it seemed that the feast would not end anytime soon.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shunan leaped into the air, lightly touching the reliefs on the tower's body with a few steps to dissipate the force, and then suddenly dropped more than ten zhang in height.

Finally, like a swallow skimming the sky, it flew close to the ground, swift as the wind, and shot off into the distance.

Chen Shunan is preparing to unleash his 'whistleblower technique'.

Tell Manager Li and Boss Zhao about this.

For his own selfish gain, Ah Hua not only harmed his seniors but also colluded with the Usui family.

This is not just Chen Shunan's private matter, but a major issue concerning the rules and regulations of the Shuiwozi trade!

This corrupt practice leads to mutual suspicion among brothers and disunity between those in charge of different areas... This is the root of the problem in the digging ditches business!

Wuqing County is a bustling place. Even though the night is deep and pedestrians are still coming and going in the streets and alleys, no one noticed a figure that flashed by like a star chasing lightning.

Soon, Chen Shunan arrived at Manager Li's residence.

The courtyard has two sections, with a loquat tree in front and a small bamboo grove behind, offering a quiet retreat amidst the hustle and bustle, which is quite fitting for Manager Li's status.

A knock sounded on the door, followed soon by rustling noises from behind it.

"Old Chen, why are you here?"

At this moment, Manager Li was still fanning himself in the courtyard, but when he saw Chen Shunan, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Come, come, you've come at the perfect time! This is jasmine tea scented with jasmine flowers. You're lucky, you're in for a treat!"

Manager Li pulled Chen Shunan's arm and walked into the courtyard.

There was a small table in the courtyard with a teapot, teacups, and a small stool.

Manager Li then went and fetched a small stool.

His attitude towards Chen Shunan was far more enthusiastic than before.

Actually, Manager Li was probably the happiest person among everyone regarding Chen Shunan's breakthrough.

There's no other reason than that their interests are intertwined.

Lin Shouzhou has an outstanding resume and brilliant achievements. Sooner or later, his master will bestow upon him the true skill manual to help him break through to the first-class realm.

At that time, a mere well of muddy water would no longer be able to keep him.

He will definitely be transferred to Danshui Well, or even Danshui Ancient Well, to do other jobs.

Therefore, Chen Shun'an, who cultivated the superior martial art "Flesh Flying Immortal" and possessed extraordinary lightness skills, but whose potential had been exhausted, could be considered the "Innate Water-Delivering Saint Body".

It's the best brand after Lin Shou-chou left!

The older generation, including figures like Chen Shunan, serves as a foundation.

The younger generation includes Ahua, who is daring and enterprising, bringing fresh blood to the table.

That vibrant scene, where everything flourishes and thrives, is still vivid in my mind!

"Manager Li, I have something important to report."

Chen Shunan paused, his voice lingering.

Noticing Chen Shunan's serious attitude, Manager Li felt a sudden unease, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Shunan's description, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"What?! Is that so?!"

In the bedroom, a child was awakened, and a woman quickly and gently coaxed him back to sleep.

Manager Li immediately lowered his voice, his face ashen.
"Old Chen, this is no laughing matter, it will ruin our brotherhood..."

Chen Shunan remained silent, but took out the deer antler mixed with poison.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you go to the Wanlong Mill."

Manager Li remained silent for a moment, but deep down he already believed it to be mostly true.

The reason for these words was that it was Old Chen, Chen Shun'an.

He closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and quickly suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, such as annoyance, regret, resentment, and frustration. When he opened his eyes again, his expression had become as cold and stern as iron.

"We'll split up. You go find Instructor Lin and ask him to borrow some second-rate fighters from the brothers' well-nest! I'll go find the boss!"

“Ahua, this traitorous cancer, must be eliminated! And his collusion with the mill seems to be our opportunity…” Manager Li’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, like a fox that had been hunting for a long time under the moonlight, finally getting its prey.

……

"Come on, Brother Ahua, we became friends after a fight. Let's drink this cup of wine and let bygones be bygones!"

In the Wanlong mill, Zhuang Kun stood up and toasted Ahua.

Ahua's mental cultivation is still incomplete; his face is tense, and he is still thinking about the fight between the two of them a few days ago.

However, one cannot hit a smiling face, and besides needing a favor from Wanlong Mill, Ahua had no choice but to drink the cup.

"When does Manager Xiang plan to make his move? Chen Shunan must die tonight! Otherwise, my father and I will never be able to sleep or eat in peace!"

Despite the large amount of meat and fish on the table, Ahua had no appetite and kept urging others to finish eating.

Father?

Zhuang Kun and Manager Xiang had somewhat strange expressions.

The innkeeper poured Ahua a glass of wine and asked,
"I have already given the order to gather manpower... By the way, Brother Ahua, what is the origin of your Litan Banner, how do you activate it, and what are its effects? Why don't you demonstrate it for us?"

"Yes, yes, yes! How could we mere mortals possibly have the chance to encounter such a divine opportunity? Anyway, the night is still long, Brother Ahua, why don't you show us your skills?"

Zhuang Kun licked his cracked lips.

His altar-suppressing wood felt incomplete without the Fiery Soul Banner.

Helpless, Ahua could only say, "This flag was passed down from my ancestors. I heard it's used in Nuo opera in the Tiger Hill area to exorcise ghosts and appease wandering spirits. It only requires feeding it with blood and qi..."

The shopkeeper and Zhuang Kun listened very attentively.

But not long after, a soft clattering sound came from outside, like bamboo baskets or carrying hampers being overturned.

On a hot, rainless night, the world seemed to be drenched in sweat, making people quite irritable.

Upon hearing this sound, Zhuang Kun slammed his hand on the table, stood up angrily, and was about to head outside.

The shopkeeper stopped him and said coldly,
"Where are you going? I'll go check..."

Having said that, he took three quick steps towards the shopkeeper, pushed open the window, and looked outside.

The moonlight was cold and desolate, the shadows of pine and cypress trees were sparse, and there was no one around.

But as soon as he glanced at the shopkeeper and looked at the storefront, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The lanterns swayed, but there was no one in sight.

not good!

The shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he withdrew and retreated.

But then a loud 'crack' was heard.

A gray figure leaped down from the rooftop, his arms surging with energy, his lantern pants fluttering, and a terrifying punch came crashing down.

"Lin Shouzhou?!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the shopkeeper's pupils constricted sharply, and he hastily covered his face.

Pfft!

The shopkeeper felt as if he had been struck by a wild beast, a terrifying, surging force that swept through his arm and shoulder and spread throughout his body with devastating force.

With just one move, countless bones in the shopkeeper's body were shattered.

With each step back, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He retreated seven steps away, his face ashen, his breath weak, and his legs trembling!

Lin Shouzhou, like a monkey, squatted on the window, his left hand supporting himself against the wall and his right hand hanging down.

He glanced expressionlessly into the house and spotted the panicked Ahua.

Lin Shouzhou sighed and said,
"Ahua, I never expected... it really was you."

Ahua said urgently, "Instructor Lin, let me explain!"

"Lin Shouzhou!"

He suppressed his surging anger and said sternly to the shopkeeper.

"This is my Wanlong mill. How dare you trespass alone?!"

"No."

Lin Shouzhou waved his hand, and torches lit up behind him.

The courtyard was suddenly filled with people, and the flashing lights made their faces appear and disappear in disarray.

Lin Shouzhou said, "It is a matter of mobilizing troops and manpower."

Chen Shunan stood in the crowd, his appearance unremarkable and his presence barely noticeable, holding a torch in his left hand.

He gripped a dart in his right hand, which gleamed coldly.
