Laughing at the Heavens: From Flying Knife Skills to Shattering the Void

Chapter 18 Madam, let me...

"You're back safe and sound, how are you?"

Seeing Lin Ping'an, Mrs. Wang immediately asked with concern.

"We have already bought the stuff, but the people from Qingcheng Sect have also arrived, and they have arranged people to guard both exits. They are searching for us in the town. It won't be long before the Four Beauties of Qingcheng and Yu Canghai arrive one after another."

"What should we do?"

Mrs. Wang was at a loss for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "At worst, I will fight them. As long as you can escape, that's all."

"Mom, please don't say such discouraging words in the future. Now that we have escaped, I will never let you fall into the hands of the enemy again."

Lin Pingan shook his head.

Mrs. Wang sighed softly and sat on the stool.

"Don't worry, they may not be able to find it in a short time. Even if they do find it, I will..."

Before Lin Ping'an finished speaking, Madam Wang interrupted him, "No, there are so many masters in the Qingcheng Sect, and the Four Beauties of Qingcheng are well-known masters in Sichuan. It's hard to deal with just one of them. You were lucky to kill Yu Renhao. If the remaining three come together, I'm afraid you won't be a match even if your flying knife is the best."

"We are still a long way from Hengshan. We cannot fight them to death. We must find a way to get through. Once we get on the small road tomorrow, we will never run into them again. When we get to Hengshan, everything will be easy to solve."

"But our target is too obvious. I'm afraid it's hard to avoid them targeting a mother and her child."

Lin Ping'an frowned.

Mrs. Wang was also filled with worry when she heard this.

At this time, Lin Pingan suddenly said: "It would be great if we could pretend that they are not mother and son."

"Given the age gap between us, how is this possible?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head.

"I saw a clothing store on the road that also sells fake beards. We can change into some clothes and then I can put on a beard. I think we will look much older. If we pretend to be a couple, I believe the people from Qingcheng Sect won't think of that."

Lin Pingan suddenly said, and then said embarrassedly: "It's just that this will make you feel wronged, stepmother."

"What? Pretending to be a couple, how can this be allowed?"

Mrs. Wang screamed and wanted to reject it directly, but then she heard a Sichuan accent coming from outside the window.

"Baby, have you ever seen a mother and son? They look like this."

Mrs. Wang heard the noise and came to the window. She opened a crack and looked down, only to see a man in strange clothes questioning a young man.

The young man shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it. Go ask in front. There's a restaurant there with a lot of people."

"Good kid, I get it."

The people from Qingcheng Sect walked towards the restaurant the child mentioned.

Mrs. Wang lowered the window with a serious look on her face.

Because it would take several days to reach Hengshan, if they didn't make any cover along the way, they would probably be blocked halfway.

At that time, it would have been impossible to escape with only Lin Ping'an's flying knife.

"Ugh!"

After a long time, Madam Wang sighed softly, "Ping An, just do as you say. We are just pretending anyway."

"it is good."

Lin Ping'an turned and left the room, and soon returned with two sets of clothes, a wig and a beard.

However, half of the silver he had on him was gone, leaving only fifteen taels.

That night, Hou Renying appeared in the town with a dozen disciples of the Qingcheng Sect and stayed in the same inn.

When Mrs. Wang heard the noise next door, she became so tense that she didn't dare to rest at all.

Lin Ping'an was therefore unable to continue his flying knife training. "This Hou Renying is not considered a master in this martial arts world, but I am no match for him now. If the other four Qingcheng beauties come, my life will be in danger. I can't take risks easily."

Lin Ping'an's eyes flickered.

Soon after, a sound was heard coming from outside the door.

"Brother Hou, what should we do now?"

"Didn't the waiter say that a man and a woman were staying here today? Go check the inn's staff to see if they are staying here."

Hou Renying said calmly.

"Okay, let's go check it out."

The people outside the door took action immediately and soon heard noises coming from a nearby room. They were angry at being woken up, but when they saw how ferocious the people from Qingcheng Sect looked, they had no choice but to submit to inspection.

"Stupid kid, it's not them, change to the next one."

Listening to the noise outside, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but look nervous and looked at Lin Ping'an, "They actually want to check the room, what should we do now?"

Although Mrs. Wang had more experience in the underworld, this one day made her dependent on Lin Pingan, who was younger than her.

The noise outside was getting closer and closer, and it seemed like it was about to knock on their door.

Mrs. Wang's eyes fell on Lin Ping'an.

Lin Pingan is now also thinking about whether he should rush out.

Although his physical fitness and strength have been greatly improved after several improvements in his flying knife skills, his seemingly thin body is no weaker than those muscular men of modern times.

But facing so many people surrounding him, especially there might be masters of the same level as Hou Renying among them, once he ran out of flying knives...

"No, I have to stay hidden. Give me a few more days so that I can practice flying knives and reach a higher level. Maybe I can fight them head-on."

Lin Ping'an's eyes were determined and he made a decision.

Now is not the time to fight hard.

Yu Renhao alone almost brought him down. Facing the combined forces of the other three of the Four Beauties of Qingcheng, he would be no match for them. By then, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to launch a sneak attack.

Just as the footsteps outside stopped at the door, Lin Pingan suddenly spoke:
"Ma'am, let me touch you."

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice, then she reacted and understood what Lin Ping'an meant. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still blushed and gritted her teeth and said coquettishly: "Husband, this is an inn, there are people living next door, it's not good for others to hear it."

"What are you afraid of? We are husband and wife, not in a relationship that is shameful to others."

Lin Ping'an's words were ambiguous.

The person outside the door stopped when he heard the sound coming from the room.

Junior Brother Li, who was about to knock on the door, turned around and looked at Hou Renying.

Hou Renying raised his eyebrows, then shook his head, "Forget it, since they are a couple, there is nothing to investigate. It seems that they dare not stay in the town to rest. We will continue to track along the road tomorrow morning, and go back to rest tonight."

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed and Hou Renying turned around and went back to the next room.

After hearing the noise outside disappear, Lin Pingan finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then said to Madam Wang in an embarrassed tone, "Mom, I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to deceive them, and it seems to be working well."

"I know, you don't have to worry about it, but I heard that Hou Renying seemed to be resting next door. If there is no noise here, will it arouse suspicion?"

Mrs. Wang asked worriedly.

Now that she has escaped, she naturally does not want to be caught easily. Only if they are outside will they have a better chance of rescuing Lin Zhennan.

"What stepmother said makes sense. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about it. It seems we can only continue to act."

Lin Pingan looked at Madam Wang. Madam Wang was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded, "Forget it, let's cooperate with each other and make some noise to avoid suspicion."
