From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

It was late at night when Chen Shi returned to Yongqiu City. He changed his clothes, put on the red scorpion mask with black patterns, and went straight to the Zhiyi Divination Hall.

Bang~ Bang bang~ Bang~

He knocked on the door rhythmically, once slowly and twice urgently.

"Sirius is in conflict with the ruling planet, and Mars is guarding the heart. There is no divination tonight. If you have any requests, please come back after noon tomorrow."

A moment later, Ke Buxia's voice came from inside.

"With Jupiter shining upon us, our fates are perfectly aligned. Tonight, we need not consult the oracle, but simply borrow a few sparks of light."

Chen Shi frowned and quickly finished saying the code.

They could have easily identified someone by just peeking through the crack in the door, so why make it so complicated?

Clang~

The code was correct. The bolt clicked, and Ke Buxia opened the door, then sat back down. As usual, he remained motionless, like a clay or wooden statue.

Instead of trying to be mysterious, Chen Shi was too lazy to waste words with him. He simply took out a notebook from the drawer next to him. It was about two fingers thick, and each page contained a task.

However, this is not all the missions of the Fufeng Society; it is limited to the Yongqiu region. Furthermore, Chen Shi belongs to the Ya tribe, so this mission is specifically for members of the Ya tribe.

Yabu was responsible for sabotage and assassination.

Chen Shi didn't speak, but turned the pages one by one until he had turned more than half of them before stopping.

The assassination target on this page is Gu Chengze!

Unlike other tasks, the footer had the word "Aborted" written in red pen.

Why was this mission cancelled?

Chen Shi pointed to Gu Chengze's name and asked a question seemingly casually.

"The situation has changed. Assassinating this person now is too risky and not worth it."

Ke Buxia's eyes remained unblinking, and his voice was low, hoarse, and devoid of any life.

Chen Shi continued to flip through the pages, which seemed no different from before, but he was secretly pondering in his heart.

The risk is too high, which likely refers to the appearance of a fifth-rank expert by Gu Chengze's side.

It must be said that the Fufeng Society's intelligence network is indeed impressive; they already knew about Gu Chengze's situation as soon as he returned.

Putting all that aside for now, the mission being suspended is certainly not good news for Chen Shi.

To kill Gu Chengze, Chen Shi's strength alone is definitely not enough; he needs to borrow strength!

The first person Chen Shi thought of was Xiao Fengxiao.

If he tells Xiao Fengxiao the truth, just like last time, she will most likely be willing to help him. Or rather, she will be willing to deal with Gu Chengze, since Gu Chengze is after her, and given Xiao Fengxiao's personality, she won't let herself be bullied for nothing.

But Chen Shi immediately rejected the idea.

Xiao Fengxiao doesn't have that ability.

Even if it were the Second Madam Ze, whose mere foot could shake Yongqiu City, she probably wouldn't have any fifth-rank experts under her command.

No one can kill Gu Chengze without a fifth-rank expert.

Moreover, while Xiao Fengxiao may be willing to punish Gu Chengze, he may not be willing to kill him.

After all, Xiao Fengxiao was the second mistress of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion only because she married Gu Chengze. Once Gu Chengze died, her status in the mansion would inevitably be affected.

Ultimately, as husband and wife, their interests are intertwined. They may bicker and even fight fiercely, but there is always a bottom line, and they will not actually kill each other.

Since he couldn't ask Xiao Fengxiao for help, and still needed the ability to deal with a fifth-rank expert, Chen Shi thought it over and over and only had two options.

First, there is the patriarch, Gu Tingshu.

But as Gu Chengze's biological father, Gu Tingshu certainly wouldn't kill him. Besides, they were family after all, and Gu Chengze had already spent half a year on the frontier and had tasted the bitterness of life. Gu Tingshu might even turn a blind eye and tacitly allow Gu Chengze to return.

In this way, Chen Shi would not only be unable to deal with Gu Chengze, but might also make things worse and even put himself in a more dangerous situation.

The second is the Fufeng Association!

Chen Shi wanted to kill Gu Chengze, and the Fufeng Society had previously had a mission to assassinate Gu Chengze, which was a coincidence!

But unexpectedly, the mission was aborted.

"A bunch of useless tasks."

Turning to the last page, Chen Shi snorted coldly, threw the task book aside, and turned to leave.

Ke Buxia slightly widened his eyes, his goatee trembling slightly. Although he was still sitting there quietly, he was clearly quite angry with Chen Shi.

I woke him up in the middle of the night, and if he didn't want to take the mission, fine, but then I had to make a sarcastic remark, "What kind of person is he!"

"No!"

As Chen Shi emerged from the divination shop, his brows furrowed.

This mission must not be stopped!

Only by relying on the power of the Fufeng Society can Gu Chengze be killed.

If Gu Chengze isn't killed, he and Cui Nong will be the ones who die.

In that case, his next task is to keep the mission going.

Although the footer says "Aborted," it doesn't mean the task has been completely abandoned; otherwise, you could just tear out the page.

This suspension is actually a temporary suspension.

Chen Shi was also well aware that it must be because of that fifth-rank expert. Once that expert left Gu Chengze, the mission would continue.

The problem is, he can't wait that long.

How to keep this mission going? No, it's not just about continuing to execute it. This mission was announced a long time ago, but so far, Gu Chengze is still alive and well.

Chen Shi had limited time, and he had to make the Fufeng Society go all out, even at any cost, to get rid of Gu Chengze as soon as possible!

How can this be achieved?

For the next two days, Chen Shi pondered this question.

"How is the situation progressing?"

That noon, in the side hall, Jin Bingren called Chen Shi over again.

Gu Chengen was assassinated in April, and almost five months have passed since then. Even if we subtract two months for the funeral, there are still three months left. They said they would eradicate the Fufeng Society, but so far there's been no progress whatsoever.

In the past few days, Gu Tingshu has inquired about this matter twice, and Jin Bingren is under a lot of pressure.

Chen Shi, as a spy who successfully infiltrated the Fufeng Society, is currently the most promising breakthrough point.

"Reporting back to the chief steward, there has been no significant progress."

Chen Shi remained calm and reported the facts truthfully.

Although he did slack off intentionally, he spent two months cultivating in Yongqiu Mountain, leaving only one month. It was actually quite good that he was able to successfully enter the Fufeng Association.

"How can there be no progress!"

Kim Byung-in frowned, but then he understood, sighed softly, and patiently said.

"Didn't I already tell you to do more tasks to gain the sect leader's trust, then find out his identity, and then we can capture him!"

"Yes, I understand."

"Just understanding isn't enough; you need to hurry."

Kim Byung-in looked anxious and continued.

"Now that you're back from your vacation, don't ask any questions. Just focus on this task!"

"Yes."

"If you accomplish this task, the master will be generous with his rewards, whether it be money, beautiful women, or martial arts manuals!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Steward Jin. I understand."

"Well, you'd better hurry up."

Seeing that Chen Shi had cheered up, Jin Bingren nodded and patted Chen Shi on the shoulder.

After the matter was concluded, Chen Shi came out with a serious expression.

Finding out the true identity of the altar master may be his only option at the moment.
