Just as Su Zhan had predicted, he never saw those brothers again.

Moreover, he didn't interfere with his subordinates, who were all assassins hired by Bai Zhanqiu.

Although Su Zhan only knew Xu Da's name, he had great respect for them.

Su Zhan went to the village to heal his injuries. Seven days later, his body had mostly recovered, so he went straight back to Stone City.

Upon arriving at Stone City, Su Zhan looked up and saw that the number of travelers at the entrance had decreased considerably, while many grassland people were rigorously checking everyone entering and leaving the city.

Su Zhan and his group were naturally not questioned because they were from the Fierce Dragon Gang, and those grassland people still gave them face.

After Su Zhan entered the city, he found it unusually desolate. Many shops were closed, and the people on the streets were few and far between. It was no longer the bustling city it once was.

This is the result of Su Zhan killing one of the two brothers from the Agada tribe.

The grassland people have been alerted and are probably frantically investigating what happened in the canyon that night. However, this is none of Su Zhan's business anymore; he just needs to get into the city.

The Raptors managed to get him into the city quite easily.

If they can't even handle this, then Su Zhan really looks down on the Fierce Dragon Gang.

After Su Zhan entered the city, the first thing he did was not to see Bai Zhanqiu, but to go straight home.

He's been out for so long, Lin Qingshan and the others must be worried sick, so let's go back and check on him first.

When Su Zhan arrived at his doorstep, he found the door wide open and two members of the Fierce Dragon Gang standing there. They were very respectful when they saw Su Zhan.

Su Zhan nodded to them and went straight inside.

The lights were on inside the house, but there was no one in the yard.

Su Zhan went straight in and saw Lin Yuer leaning on her elbow and resting her head on the table, nodding her head up and down, but neither asleep nor awake.

Su Zhan's heart melted instantly, and he walked over and sat down directly in front of Lin Yuer.

He didn't wake Lin Yuer, but just watched her.

During the long time he was away, Lin Yuer was the person he missed the most.

Seeing her now makes me feel very at ease.

Lin Yuer's elbow finally gave way, and she collapsed.

She suddenly woke up, and when she saw Su Zhan, she was stunned, because she felt like she was dreaming.

She had this dream many times before: Su Zhan was sitting right in front of her, not going anywhere. She really doubted that this scene was real.

So Lin Yuer's heart was pounding, but she didn't say anything. She reached out and touched it. When she felt the warm touch in her palm, tears immediately streamed down her face.

She suddenly lunged at Su Zhan and then hugged him tightly in her arms.

Su Zhan felt a pang of heartache as he watched the trembling body of the person in his arms.

He said softly, "It's alright, I'm back."

Lin Yuer couldn't stop sobbing and couldn't speak. She hugged Su Zhan tightly, afraid that he would disappear again like in her dream.

Because the dream felt so real, she knew many times that the dream was fake.

Now, with Su Zhan sitting right in front of him, he still couldn't be sure if it was all real.

"My husband..."

Lin Yuer sobbed uncontrollably, her voice filled with longing, as she began to recount what had happened after Su Zhan left.

Lin Yu'er was really worried. She didn't dare to close her front door or turn off the lights, for fear that Su Zhan would come back and not see her.

She felt like a little bird without support, so helpless and lost.

But now that Su Zhan has appeared, her heart has started beating again.

Su Zhan's heart also turned into a flame.

He picked up Lin Yuer and then walked towards the bedside.

The candlelight flickered in the room, and only the panting sounds proved what had happened.

The next morning, Su Zhan woke up while Lin Yuer was still fast asleep.

Su Zhan didn't wake her and went straight out of the yard.

At the entrance to the courtyard, two members of the Fierce Dragon Gang were waiting for him.

When they saw Su Zhan come out, they said to him very respectfully, "Master Su, Master Bai invites you to come over."

Su Zhan nodded, and then followed the two members of the Fierce Dragon Gang to Bai Zhanqiu's teahouse.

When Su Zhan stood in front of the teahouse, he looked up at the door and saw that there was a new plaque on it.

The last time Su Zhan came, this place was nothing special; it was just an ordinary teahouse, a place without a signboard.

But now a plaque has been hung up, with three characters written on it in a flamboyant style: Juyi Hall.

Su Zhan shook his head, thinking, "How could such a refined person like Bai Zhanqiu have such a vulgar name? This is a teahouse, not a bandit's den. What kind of place is this?"

However, this has nothing to do with Su Zhan. Let him write whatever he wants; it has nothing to do with Su Zhan.

So Su Zhan walked straight in, only to find the lobby completely empty, unlike the bustling teahouse of the past. It seemed as if the place had been transformed.

Su Zhan went straight upstairs to the familiar second floor. Before he even stepped inside, he smelled the aroma of food.

This guy still loves to eat.

Su Zhan went straight in and saw Bai Zhanqiu sitting at the table, with a steaming copper pot on it. Something was bubbling inside the pot, and it smelled delicious.

When Bai Zhanqiu saw Su Zhan, he immediately waved to him.

"Come here quickly, the meat is cooked, it will get overcooked in a little while."

Su Zhan walked straight over and sat down at the table. Eating hot pot so early in the morning was quite a luxury.

Then I heard Bai Zhanqiu say...

"This is the tenderest lamb on the grassland. You're in for a treat today."

Su Zhan didn't say anything to him, but picked up his chopsticks and took a big bite.

I must say, this lamb was indeed very fresh and delicious.

However, Su Zhan only took one bite before putting down his chopsticks.

Bai Zhanqiu continued to eat heartily until he had finished all the meat in the copper pot before putting down his chopsticks.

Then he added some vegetables. After the vegetables were cooked, Bai Zhanqiu looked at Su Zhan with a smile and said.

"You did a fantastic job this time, I'm very satisfied."

Su Zhan, however, spoke directly to him.

"I'm satisfied, but why did a mistake happen?"

Bai Zhanqiu, however, didn't care at all.

"Our Raptors gang isn't a rock-solid unit, so it's normal for someone to tip us off."

Su Zhan looked at him calmly, and then spoke.

"So, you already know who did it?"

Bai Zhanqiu laughed and said.

"That's for sure."

He then clapped his hands, and then heard someone walk in from outside.

Several burly men escorted in two men who were already covered in blood, and slammed them hard to the ground.

Then, one of the burly men grabbed a man's head and turned it towards Su Zhan. Su Zhan could clearly see that the man's ferocious face was none other than Xia Shan Hu.

Needless to say, the other one is the "cross-river dragon" (a term used to describe someone who has crossed a river from another

Bai Zhanqiu chuckled and said.

"I've taken care of everything for you, but you have to do this last thing."

Then Bai Zhanqiu pulled out a short knife from behind and threw it on the table.

Su Zhan didn't speak to him. He picked up the short knife, swung it down, and with a soft thud, the tiger's head was severed.

The man next to him, who had crossed the river, started making muffled noises, but he couldn't say anything. His mouth was full of blood and foam, indicating that his tongue had been pulled out.

Su Zhan ignored him and slashed down with his sword. The second floor, which was originally filled with fragrance, was now filled with the smell of blood.
