Chapter 401 Layout

"Hermon, the third leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, has been murdered!"

"I heard that the person who did it was the boy they had a bounty on."

"Hehe, inside information: that boy named Jing Chen has already killed nearly thirty members of the Wolf Head Gang."

"Tsk tsk, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has really lost face this time. They've been humiliated so badly by a mere teenager. Haha, let's see how Mu She will have the nerve to be arrogant in the future."

Rumors, seemingly from nowhere, spread like wildfire throughout Qingshan Town in just one afternoon. Almost everyone knew that Jing Chen had killed the third leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. In an instant, countless mocking and spectacle-seeking gazes began to converge on the silent Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

In the quiet little room, listening to the information from the maid outside the door, the white-clad woman who was carefully preparing the medicinal powder inside trembled slightly, and the preparation of the medicinal powder in the small bottle immediately failed.

The woman in white gently shook her head, set the small bottle down, and a faint smile appeared on Qiao Mei's face as she whispered, "That guy Jing Chen actually took revenge?"

With a smooth motion, the little fairy doctor gracefully sat down on the chair, then took out a seven-colored scroll from her inner garment, gently stroking it. A slight smile played on her lips: "To be able to kill Hemon, that means Jing Chen is at least an eight-star Dou Zhe now, right? What an terrifying cultivation speed, only a few months have passed..."

"Miss, Mr. Yao wishes to see you." A maid's soft voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this report, Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly. This Mr. Yao was the person in charge of the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall. In recent days, ever since the Wolf Head Mercenary Group spread the word, this guy had been frequently coming to see her. His purpose was, of course, self-evident.

"Let him in." Little Fairy Doctor sighed helplessly as she carefully put the seven-colored scroll away. No matter what, she was now living under someone else's roof, and she couldn't refuse to give face to her master.

"Hehe, how have you been lately, Miss Little Fairy Doctor?" Shortly after the maid delivered the message, a man dressed in an expensive robe walked into the room with a smile and greeted Little Fairy Doctor.

Raising her beautiful eyes, Little Fairy Doctor looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, nodded slightly, stood up, turned around and bent down to pour two cups of tea on the table next to her.

Sitting in his chair, Mr. Yao gazed at the Little Fairy Doctor, whose body formed a beautiful curve. Finally, his gaze lingered on her slender waist, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

The moment Little Fairy Doctor turned around, Mr. Yao very appropriately withdrew his improper gaze.

Holding the teacup, she gently placed it on the table, and Little Fairy Doctor parted her red lips slightly, saying softly, "Mr. Yao, is there something you need from me?"

"Hehe." Mr. Yao chuckled, holding the teacup in both hands, which still seemed to retain the warmth of the beautiful woman's hands. He subtly rubbed the teacup between his palms, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I suppose you've heard about that guy, Jing Chen, too, haven't you?"

"Hmm." Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face remained calm, and her expression did not change in any unusual way.

"He was with you when you went into the cave to search for treasure, wasn't he?" Mr. Yao suddenly asked with a slight glint in his eyes.

"Mr. Yao, I think you might be mistaken." Shaking her head, Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly, "Jing Chen and I were indeed together, but at the time, I was gathering herbs and almost fell off a cliff. He just happened to help me. As for the cave treasure hunt, I'm sorry, we didn't actually find any treasure. However, I did hear that when they were escorting us back, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group suddenly left the group, apparently because they found something."

"If Mr. Yao is interested in that treasure, why not take the leaders of the other two major mercenary groups and go with them to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group to see what they've brought back?" Little Fairy Doctor smiled.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yao's expression changed slightly, but he then smiled and said, "I was just asking casually. Hehe, since you know Jing Chen, if you see him again in the future, you can invite him to our Wan Yao Zhai. Although the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is very powerful, Wan Yao Zhai is not afraid of them."

"If I have the chance, I will help pass on the message, but I only met him by chance, so Mr. Yao shouldn't have too high expectations," Little Fairy Doctor said casually.

"Hehe, okay, then I won't bother you any longer. I have some things to take care of." With a smile and a nod, Mr. Yao chatted with Little Fairy Doctor for a while longer before taking his leave.

Watching the door slowly close, Little Fairy Doctor glanced at the teacup he had just drunk from and muttered to herself, "Looks like he hasn't given up on his idea after all. Sigh, I hope you won't do anything to disappoint me. Although I'm not very strong, do you really think I'm someone you can just drink whatever you want?"

Her jade-like fingers gently touched the teacup, and the image of the white-haired boy flashed through her mind. Little Fairy Doctor's red lips curled slightly: "You're the first man to have gone through thick and thin with me, so don't let yourself be defeated in this little Green Mountain Town..."

······

In the center of the somber hall, a lifeless corpse lay. Judging from the face of the corpse, it was none other than He Meng, the third leader who had died at Jing Chen's hands.

Gazing at Hermon's corpse, everyone in the hall remained silent, not daring to utter a sound, because they could already sense the chilling killing intent emanating from the man at the head of the hall.

"I'll tear that little bastard to pieces!"

With bloodshot eyes staring at Hermon's corpse, Mushe gritted his teeth, his chilling voice filled with suppressed, violent rage.

"Jing Chen was able to kill He Meng, which means his strength should be around eight stars. Moreover, He Meng possessed a high-level Yellow-rank rock attribute technique, plus the two high-level Yellow-rank combat skills he was proficient in. Even if we consider statistics, this would be considered a top-tier strength. However, he was still killed by Jing Chen. It seems that this guy must possess a technique and combat skill that is even more advanced than He Meng's!" Mu She's voice was tinged with coldness.

"Starting tomorrow, all members with strength above the five-star Douzhe level will remove the wolf head insignia, disguise themselves as free mercenaries, and enter the Monster Mountain Range in groups of five. If anyone discovers Jing Chen's whereabouts, contact him using a bamboo whistle!" Mu She issued the order with a cold expression.

"Yes!" the crowd below responded in unison.

"I refuse to believe that little bastard can escape my grasp!" Mu She sneered as he slowly clenched his fist.

"You little bastard, your days of arrogance are over!"
