Yu Huai wandered around the market.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after realizing that no one was following him.

The Yao family?

We can inquire about it later.

He still didn't know what the person meant, so he decided to be cautious and act more carefully in the future.

Yu Huai walked along the road, lost in thought.

It was already night.

There weren't many cultivators on the road; only a few scattered individuals hurriedly returned.

"Brother Qian, don't go! How about we play a little longer?"

"No, no, I have important things to do tomorrow."

Yu Huai suddenly looked up and saw a figure that seemed somewhat familiar walk out of a noisy building, and someone else came out to greet him and try to stop him.

When Yu Huai saw the person clearly, his expression froze.

This person is none other than himself.

It was the money that constantly made him feel pressured and led him to plot against his parents.

Let's check his cultivation level next.

He has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

I never expected to run into this person here.

Yu Huai glanced at the building; it was a gambling den. He instantly understood. There was still some distance between them. Without hesitation, he immediately hid in a side alley.

He is currently only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

There was absolutely no chance of winning against Qian Yi.

Therefore, Yu Huai still needs to hide for a while.

Ok?

Qian Yi was middle-aged, dressed in brocade, with a ruddy complexion. He had drunk some wine and seemed to sense Yu Huai's gaze, looking in the direction where Yu Huai had been standing.

He saw a black cat tilting its head and looking at him.

He shook his head, greeted the person who came out to greet him, and then left.

Yu Huai did not go out immediately. Instead, he wandered around the crisscrossing alleys several times, changed his appearance, put on the Silver Ring, and suppressed his cultivation to the fourth level before emerging from an alley entrance.

It should have gone unnoticed.

However, Qian Yi had already broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, so the Duan brothers could have easily dealt with him without him.

But why haven't they taken any action yet?

Could there be some other plan?

Yu Huai thought of what Old Wang had said, felt puzzled, and shook his head.

This gave him room to improve his skills.

Why should he overthink it?

one way or another.

We need to improve our strength as soon as possible.

Yu Huai glanced in the direction of the gambling den before quickly leaving the market. When he was almost in the courtyard, he transformed back into his third layer and removed his mask.

Midnight.

dong dong dong.

Yu Huai was still looking at the newly updated keywords when he suddenly heard a low knock on the door, which instantly put him on alert.

Who would it be at this moment?

Yu Huai took the talisman with the sharp wooden spike in his hand, went out of the house, and slowly walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Nephew, are you there?"

A familiar voice came, which made Yu Huai's heart leap with joy.

That's Uncle Lu's voice. Has he returned?

Yu Huai remained vigilant, standing inside the door and whispering:

"Uncle Lu, is that you?"

……

The bright moon hangs in the sky, its silvery light spreading everywhere.

Yu Huai and Lu Feng sat facing each other in the courtyard.

For the past few days, Yu Huai had been going to Lu Feng's house every day, but he had not seen anyone.

He already believed that Lu Feng had perished.

Yu Huai was overjoyed to see him again today.

"Uncle Lu is alright, that's wonderful."

"Thank you for your concern, my dear nephew. I went out with some friends this time, hoping to earn some spirit stones, but I overheard something about money trading, so I rushed back."

Lu Feng said with a serious expression.

After hearing the information Lu Feng had, Yu Huai finally understood some things.

The Qian family is a prominent clan that has achieved a high level of development.

Qian Yi was an illegitimate son of a member of the Qian family.

The Qian family did not acknowledge these children.

But it seems something has happened to the Tian family.

The Qian family wanted a share of the profits, so they contacted Qian Yi and asked him to investigate the Tian family's affairs.

It was precisely because of the Qian family's influence that this happened.

Qian Yi, with his Qi Refining Level 7 cultivation, could easily collude with the Duan brothers to murder his parents.

Everything makes sense now.

No wonder Qian Yi hadn't come to deal with him; it turned out he was investigating the Tian family.

It's unclear what happened to the Tian family that attracted the covetousness of other equally powerful forces.

Yu Huai pondered.

Lu Feng knew this information because a friend's father worked odd jobs at the Qian family's shop and overheard it.

Lu Feng himself didn't know if it was true or not.

However, based on what Old Wang had said earlier, Yu Huai guessed some things and knew that these things were probably true.

Yu Huai did not tell Lu Feng that Old Wang was dead, but repeatedly reminded him to be careful and to be wary of robbery. He also told Lu Feng about his meeting with Qian Yi that day.

"I never expected this person to have broken through to the eighth level."

"What should we do? Qian Yi seems to have a Foundation Establishment background and such cultivation. Nephew, why don't you flee?"

Lu Feng looked worried and actually advised Yu Huai to flee.

There may be no better way.

However, after thinking for a moment, Yu Huai shook his head:

"Uncle Lu, bandits roam freely outside the market. If I flee, I will definitely be targeted by them, and I might not even survive as long as I do in the market."

that's true.

Lu Feng sighed.

During his trip, he encountered several bandits. If it weren't for their large numbers, he might not have been able to return safely.

What's more, what about my nephew who's only at the third level of Qi Refining?

What should we do?

"Nephew, I still have some spirit stones left. Take them! No matter what, I'll find a way to keep you alive!"

Lu Feng took out a cloth bag and pushed it toward Yu Huai.

Seeing this, Yu Huai was quite grateful, but this time he did not accept the gift. Instead, he told Lu Feng that he was able to draw a first-grade low-level talisman and handed over several Rejuvenation Talismans to Lu Feng.

Lu Feng was surprised but also pleased.

Having the ability to cultivate the four arts means having an additional stable and high-income source.

"If this is true, my dear nephew, you should focus on improving your strength before making your escape. The Qian family is not a match for us Qi Refining cultivators."

Lu Feng continued to persuade him.

Yu Huai didn't say anything more this time, but nodded solemnly. His current cultivation level was only the fifth level of Qi Refining, which was not even comparable to Qian Yi, let alone the Qian family, which had a Foundation Establishment expert.

After seeing Lu Feng off, Yu Huai sat alone in the courtyard.

Qian Yi is now at the eighth level of Qi Refining and has a Foundation Establishment background.

What should we do?

Even if he had the ability to kill Qian Yi, he might end up killing the younger one and bringing in the older one.

Or perhaps his skills are too low.

Currently, Qian Yi is preoccupied with the Tian family's affairs and has no time to deal with him. During this period, he must improve his strength as soon as possible and also find a way out for himself.

Why don't we tell the Tian family about this?

Yu Huai suddenly had this thought.

After some thought, Yu Huai shook his head and dismissed the idea.

He knew too little about the Tian family and didn't know what had happened or why they had provoked Jie Xiu.

Do not easily get involved with them.

Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Tian family cultivators before he even met Qian Yi.

We still need to rely on our own strength.

He has a cheat code; he's bound to break the deadlock.

The moonlight shone on Yu Huai's face. He raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with determination, and looked at the newly updated entry. Right there in the courtyard, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in cultivation.
