Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 107 Murder and Robbery!

The main hall of the Yuan family.

After Wang Lin followed the servant inside, Yuan Fang greeted him warmly with clasped hands.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the maidservant brought out tea.

Wang Lin cupped his hands to Yuan Tong, who was seated at the head of the table, and said, "This junior has not failed in his mission. She has agreed to join the team tomorrow to carry out this mission."

Yuan Tong took a small sip of tea, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Given his status, he naturally didn't need to say much.

Yuan Fang patted Wang Lin on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Wang, you did a good job. We'll remember this. If you ever need anything in the South Academy, just let us know."

Wang Lin quickly replied with a fawning expression, "It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure. It's an honor for me to be able to do things for Senior Brother Yuan and Senior Yuan."

Yuan Fang smiled, took out three pieces of Xuan Gold from his sleeve, handed them to him, and whispered, "There will be other rewards after the matter is done."

Wang Lin quickly took it, his face full of gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan, thank you, Senior Yuan."

He then snorted coldly and said, "That Nightingale really doesn't know what's good for her. She doesn't even respect Senior Brother Yuan. I thought she could latch onto some kind of man, but it turns out she's that jinx. Don't worry, Senior Brother Yuan, I know what to do. I guarantee that she'll be completely obedient to you."

A cold smile appeared on Yuan Fang's lips.

At this moment, Yuan Tong, who was drinking tea, spoke up to encourage him: "Work hard, and you'll definitely be one of those promoted to the advanced team at the beginning of the year."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lin's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed his head again to express his gratitude.

at the same time.

Luo Qingfeng's soul has returned to Red Leaf Alley.

Having just gone out for a night stroll, he naturally dared not enter the mansion casually.

Yuan Tong's cultivation is profound. Although he may not be able to see the Yin spirits, he may be able to sense them if he gets close enough.

Or perhaps, there is a formation set up in the mansion.

He naturally dared not venture in and risk it.

There's really nothing to investigate; it's just a story of two accomplices in a crime.

Luo Qingfeng passed through the roof and returned to his physical body.

Outside the window, the night grew even darker.

In the kitchen, Nightingale was still simmering soup, and Grandma's voice could be faintly heard.

Meanwhile, Aya was quietly chopping firewood in a small courtyard.

Luo Qingfeng left the room and went to the kitchen, saying, "Sister Nightingale, I'm going out to buy some things. I'll be back in a bit. If the food is ready, you can eat first; don't wait for me."

Nightingale was slightly taken aback by his words and asked in confusion, "What are you going to buy?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't answer, but said, "Anyway, I'll be back soon, very quickly."

After saying that, he immediately turned and left.

Aya glanced at him and stopped chopping wood.

After walking into the courtyard, Luo Qingfeng suddenly turned his head to look at the little girl holding the axe in the courtyard, and then quietly stretched out his finger and beckoned to her.

Aya paused for a moment, then put down his axe and walked to the door.

Luo Qingfeng said in a low voice, "Aya, do you want to go out and play with me for a while?"

Aya hesitated for a moment, then nodded, then shook her head, her gaze returning to the kitchen.

Luo Qingfeng said in a low voice, "I'll just play for a little while, I'll be back soon."

Aya stared at him with her dark eyes, as if trying to see if he was trying to trick her into doing something bad.

Luo Qingfeng said, "Never mind, I'll go myself."

After saying that, he left immediately.

After taking a few steps, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.

Turning my head, I saw that the little girl in the patched black dress had already silently followed me out.

Luo Qingfeng comforted her, "Let's go and come back quickly, your sister won't know."

Aya immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Luo Qingfeng took out a set of clothes and a mask from his storage bag, handed them to her, and said, "Put these on later."

Aya paused for a moment, glanced at him again, but didn't ask any questions. She immediately and obediently took the item.

The two quickly left the alley.

at the same time.

Yuan Mansion.

Wang Lin chatted with Yuan Tong and his son for a while longer, until the tea cooled down, before bowing and taking his leave.

Yuan Fang warmly saw him to the gate and whispered, "Everything depends on Junior Brother Wang. Remember to put all the medicine out of that bottle."

Wang Lin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Yuan. Although that girl is a little wary of me, she will eventually need to eat and drink there. I don't believe she can guard against everyone there."

Yuan Fang sneered, "Then I'll see how arrogant she can still be!"

The two whispered their plans for a while longer.

Wang Linfang bowed and took his leave.

Yuan Fang stood outside the gate, watching him leave, and only turned and went into the house after he walked out of the alley.

Wang Lin walked out of the alley, glanced to the left and right, and then quickly walked onto the main road.

There's no night market tonight, so there aren't many pedestrians on the streets.

At this time, the temperature dropped sharply again, and the weather was extremely cold, so even the street vendors began to pack up and go home one after another.

Wang Lin walked through several streets and turned into a small alley.

But after walking a short distance, he suddenly stopped, took out the sword from his storage bag, and turned around to look.

A figure walked in from the alley entrance.

Dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, he walked straight toward him.

Wang Lin immediately raised his sword and shouted a stern warning: "Who goes there? Why are you following me?"

The newcomer didn't speak, but suddenly quickened his pace and vanished from the spot!

"boom!"

A fist, gleaming with the light of a fist, suddenly slammed towards his face.

Upon seeing this, Wang Lin felt somewhat relieved: it turned out that he was also at the fifth level of the Heavenly Creation Realm.

He immediately raised his sword and slashed forward. After the strike, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and retreated a short distance, then spoke again: "Who exactly are you?"

As he spoke, he secretly gathered his strength, preparing to escape.

He was not prepared to continue fighting.

He would never recklessly engage in a prolonged fight before understanding the situation and whether the other party had any help. Years of combat and survival experience told him that such a suddenly appearing assassin must have something to rely on, so he naturally couldn't be careless.

"Whoosh—"

He suddenly exerted all his strength, his toes touched the ground, and he turned and leaped into the air, retreating rapidly backward.

No sooner had he landed than a cold glint of light suddenly shot out from the corner of the alley to his right, striking him directly in the throat with lightning speed!

Wang Lin was startled and hurriedly swung his sword to parry.

"Zheng—"

Sparks flew as the sneak attack was blocked.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a terrifying aura coming from behind him that sent chills down his spine.

Without any hesitation, he immediately lunged forward and rolled to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

The instant he fell to the ground, a silver moon blade of light shot past the spot where he had just stood.

A moment later and it would have been a matter of being decapitated!

Wang Lin was terrified and immediately jumped up, ready to do everything in his power to escape the alley as quickly as possible!

"laugh!"

Just as he leaped up from the ground, a cold glint suddenly appeared beside him, piercing his right waist and penetrating his entire body!

A bloodcurdling scream, utterly devastating!

The sudden, excruciating pain almost made Wang Lin faint. But he gritted his teeth, enduring the agony, and prepared to continue his escape!

However, at this moment, a rusty, chipped broken knife suddenly slashed down on his thigh with a "whoosh," and then with a sharp pull, as if a sharp steel saw were sawing through tofu, it sawed off his entire right leg!

"ah--"

This scream was even more horrific!

Just as Wang Lin was about to leap up and run away, he lost his balance and fell headfirst to the ground!

His entire right leg flew off, and blood gushed out!

"Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!"

He clutched his broken leg, howling and pleading with a face full of pain and terror.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, the nicked knife slashed down again, sawing off his arm that was holding the sword.

Wang Lin was in so much pain that he was numb. This time, he felt nothing at all, and just screamed in terror.

The figure with the knife walked up to him, and the broken knife in its hand was once again placed against his neck.

Wang Lin pleaded in terror, "No...no...who...who are you...who are you...?"

"laugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of light appeared on the blade of the broken sword, and it sawed off his head.

Wang Lin's eyes widened, his mouth agape, but he could no longer utter a sound.

He will not rest in peace.

A glove with a bamboo membrane reached inside his clothes and pulled out a storage bag.

Three pieces of black gold, two pieces of gold, and two pieces of broken silver.

The two masked killers took only these items and fled.

When the patrol team arrived, they found only blood everywhere and a decomposed body, its head severed from its body.

"They're from the Demon Suppression Academy!"

The nameplate on his body identified him.

The patrol members had someone keep an eye on the body while sending someone to notify the Demon Suppression Academy.

At this time.

In another alley, a man and a woman, one big and one small, were dividing up their spoils.

"Half for each of us, this gold... Hey, what are you doing?"

The little girl put away the gold and silver she had just stolen, and wrote on the wall with her finger: "Quanzi, Tiezi, mine... Heizi, yours."

"Silly, let me teach you. 'Quanzi' is missing two dots, it should be 'Jinzi' (gold), written like this. 'Yinzi' is written like this, but what you wrote is 'Tiezi' (iron). Also, this 'Heizi' is actually... well, it's just a black bean, it's actually worthless..."

Black spots are actually black ore, which is naturally the most valuable.

The little girl studied it carefully for a moment, then immediately walked ahead, seemingly afraid that he would ask her for the gold and silver back again, a small smug look on her lips.

The people following behind didn't say anything more.

The image of the young girl piercing his kidneys with a single sword flashed through his mind, and he no longer dared to argue with her.

Moreover, he gained a huge advantage.

Three pieces of Xuanjin are far superior to a few pieces of gold and silver!

There are four pieces of Xuan Gold now. This is much more cost-effective than doing quests, and should be enough to buy a lot of good things.

A silver moon rose into the night sky.

A night breeze blew into the alley, and the two of them shivered from the cold.

Go home for dinner!

The two returned to the courtyard and washed themselves thoroughly outside before going inside.

The room was dimly lit, but it felt exceptionally warm.

Where did you go?

Inside the room, a tall, slender, and beautiful young woman stood with her arms crossed, her pretty face cold as she questioned the two men.

He looks fierce.

It is indeed very fierce.

Her posture of crossing her arms over her chest made her high breasts appear even more perky and proud, quite extraordinary.

Just as someone was about to answer, the fierce-looking beautiful girl suddenly said, "Shut up, let Aya talk!"

Since Aya couldn't speak, she could only lower her head and remain silent.

But soon, she couldn't withstand her sister's sharp gaze, and with her little finger outstretched, she weakly wrote a few words crookedly on the table: play.

"play?"

The fierce-looking young woman narrowed her eyes and glared at someone menacingly.

Just as someone was about to speak, he was suddenly pulled away.

The two arrived at the small courtyard.

"You smell of blood."

She suddenly frowned and said seriously.

Her eyes flickered, then she seemed to suddenly realize something, her body stiffened, and she said, "Wang Lin?"

Luo Qingfeng's face showed a hint of surprise.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Nightingale looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Just because... I agreed to go on a mission with him tomorrow?"

Before Luo Qingfeng could answer, she added, "You're so naive, I was just lying to him."

She paused for a moment, then whispered, "Do you know why I left his team back then? I saw him talking to Yuan Fang. Today I was suddenly punished and lost my merit points, but then he just happened to appear and tell me about a good mission. He also knows I really need money..."

"Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

"The reason I agreed to his request was just to play a trick on them and get revenge for what happened today. Let them be smug tonight, because I'm not going to sign anything tomorrow."

"Also, if I refuse tonight, they will find other ways, and then it will be unsafe for me to go to the institute to take on any mission tomorrow or in the future. But if I agree to them tonight, they should not make any other preparations. When I go to the institute tomorrow, I will immediately take on a mission that departs the day after tomorrow, so that they will not have time to prepare."

"I only need one more mission to leave, so I will be careful and won't make any more mistakes."

After listening, Luo Qingfeng remained silent for a while, then said, "Sister Nightingale, even though you say that, I still have no regrets. He deserves to die as long as he had that thought."

Nightingale gazed at him quietly for a moment, then whispered, "Luo Qingfeng... are you really going to be this good to me?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Isn't that what should be done?"

Nightingale stared at him for a while longer, then lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering gently. A blush rose on her pretty cheeks, and she bit her pink lips, whispering, "Then tonight, let's go...to the Ningguo Mansion..."

Luo Qingfeng reached out and touched her small hand, then whispered, "Let's stay home."

The nightingale blushed, her face full of allure: "But..."

Luo Qingfeng said, "It must be very chaotic outside at this time. There will probably be many more patrol teams. We can't go out anymore."

The nightingale whispered, "Is it dead?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded.

The nightingale looked at him and said nothing more.

"Come on in, let's eat inside, the food's getting cold."

Luo Qingfeng naturally took her hand, holding her cold little hand in his palm, but immediately let go when they reached the steps.

after eating.

Luo Qingfeng and Aya both took a thorough hot bath and changed all their clothes. Nightingale washed them all and hung them on the rope in the courtyard to dry.

Aya looked at her bellyband hanging on the rope, fluttering in the wind, and then at his shorts hanging beside it, swaying proudly. Her face turned bright red. She wanted to take it, but didn't dare.

When Luo Qingfeng returned to his room after taking a shower, he suddenly noticed a familiar white cloth on the bed sheet.

Grandma coughed a few times, went into her room, and muttered to herself at the door, "Sigh, I'm getting old, I need to go to bed early. I sleep so soundly at night, I can't even hear thunder, and my ears are almost deaf."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."
