Catching Monsters

Chapter 565 is dangerous.

Recently, teahouses in Beijing have been overjoyed, as most people obtain this information primarily through word of mouth.

The teahouse hired storytellers to tell stories about the Sanqing Temple and Qingfeng Temple. Many people came to listen to the excitement, making the teahouse extremely popular. In some places, it was even more difficult to get tickets for slightly famous storytellers.

Inside a teahouse, a storyteller in his sixties stood on a stage, speaking with great passion:

"Yesterday I went to the scene myself, and there I saw Qingyangzi of Qingfeng Temple shouting, 'The Daoist Master has appeared!'"

"Unexpectedly, Jiang Yun was even more superior. He shouted 'Three Pure Ones!' and in an instant, the wind and clouds changed drastically, and the earth shook..."

"In the end, Jiang Yun had a slight advantage. After Qingyangzi was defeated and fell to the ground, Jiang Yun stepped forward and killed him with a single palm strike, shouting: 'Is there any other Taoist who dares to step forward and fight?'"

"The two Celestial Masters from Baiyun Temple and Tianqing Temple flew onto the stage. Seeing that Qingyangzi's injuries were too severe to be reversed, they wanted to join forces to fight Jiang Yun..."

At this point, the storyteller glanced at the time, took a sip of tea, and said, "To be continued in the next chapter."

"Hey, you old man, just finish what you're saying."

"If you do that, we won't be coming tomorrow."

The audience below, who were engrossed in the story, began to grumble in dissatisfaction. In a corner of the teahouse, a large round table was reserved by a group of people dressed in black.

Dan Tiangang sat on the table, his eyes slightly narrowed, and slowly said to Elder Bai Xuanang beside him, "This sect is so dilapidated that it can't even deal with Jiang Yun."

Bai Xuanang sat beside him, nodded respectfully, and said with emotion, "If the Daoist sect kills Jiang Yun, it will save the sect leader a lot of trouble."

Dan Tiangang remained expressionless and said coldly, "Hmph, it's good that Jiang Yun isn't dead. I should take his life myself."

He was driven by the hatred of killing his son and then stole Shan Tiangang's golden toad from the sacred tomb.

Since becoming the leader of the Demon Spirit Sect, Shan Tiangang had never suffered such a loss.

He then asked, "Have the others all been settled in the north?"

Bai Xuanang nodded slightly and said, "The other three elders have already led our disciples to the north. We can follow them after the sect leader finishes his work."

Dan Tiangang narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go to the Jiang residence."

Bai Xuanang's expression changed slightly. He quickly grabbed Shan Tiangang's hand and whispered, "Master, it's not appropriate to go to the Jiang residence like this."

"When Jiang Yun got married, the patriarch of the snake clan was killed by Qu Wushang from his mansion."

"Qu Wushang." Upon hearing this, Shan Tiangang's expression darkened slightly. He didn't have that much time to deal with Jiang Yun slowly in the capital.

Bai Xuanang frequently came to the capital on business and was very familiar with the situation there. He glanced around and said in a low voice, "Master, don't rush. Just lure Jiang Yun to a secluded and deserted place and kill him."

"I do know a woman who might be of use."

……

In the early morning, Feng Beier was sitting at the entrance of the bookstore outside the Jiang residence. Although she was holding a book in her hands, her eyes were fixed on the gate of the Jiang residence.

They were just waiting for Jiang Yun to go out on official business so they could catch a glimpse of him from afar.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, two men with extraordinary bearing walked into the bookstore. The one in front was Shan Tiangang.

When Shan Tiangang saw Feng Beier, he was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that the woman Bai Xuanang had mentioned who was infatuated with Jiang Yun would be so beautiful.

Feng Beier was used to being stared at; after all, it would be strange if passersby didn't take a second look at her.

"Gentlemen, if you wish to read, please feel free to come inside and browse."

Bai Xuanang's eyes darted around, and he quickly stepped forward, saying with a smile, "Miss Feng, we're not here to read books, we're here to help you."

"help me?"

Upon hearing this person's words, Feng Beier frowned in surprise.

Bai Xuanang pointed to the inside of the bookstore: "This is not the place to talk. Shall we talk inside? It has something to do with Jiang Yun."

Feng Beier was initially hesitant, but after hearing that the other party mentioned it was related to Jiang Yun, she quickly got up and asked the shop assistants to wait outside.

"Please sit down, both of you. What is it you wish to discuss?"

Bai Xuanang chuckled and said, "We two are old friends with Jiang Yun. We were quite moved to hear that you have deep feelings for Jiang Yun."

"That's right, we both want to meet Jiang Yun privately, but for some reason, we can only meet outside the city."

"And we can't contact Jiang Yun directly."

"Please ask the young lady to speak to Jiang Yun and invite him to a gathering outside the city."

Hearing this, Feng Beier felt strange and said, "Since you've all come to the Jiang residence, why don't you go in and see Jiang Yun directly?"

"It's a long story," Bai Xuanang said with an embarrassed expression. "We two are old friends of Lord Jiang in Nanzhou Prefecture, and we have a good relationship."

"I originally came here to seek refuge with Lord Jiang, but I was captured by the rebels and forced to serve as their soldier."

"Our identities are somewhat sensitive. If we enter or leave Lord Jiang's residence, it might cause him trouble."

"So we can only meet outside the city."

Feng Beier nodded: "I see. Then you two tell me your names and I'll pass them on to Jiang Yun. As for whether he'll see you or not, that's up to him to decide." Shan Tiangang paused for a moment, then said: "How about this? When Jiang Yun comes out later, please invite him over for a while. It should be safe for outsiders to notice in your bookstore."

Upon hearing this, Feng Beier nodded, and then, since the two were Jiang Yun's friends, she politely made them a cup of tea.

"Hey, what has Brother Jiang done to deserve such devotion from Miss Feng?" Bai Xuanang said with a sigh and a smile.

Feng Beier slowly sat down and said with a smile, "You two elder brothers should also be in Nanzhou Prefecture. You must have taken good care of Jiang Yun."

Bai Xuanang nodded: "Of course, we live on the same street as Jiang Yun, and we watched Jiang Yun grow up."

Feng Beier nodded slightly, then suddenly asked, "By the way, is Jiang Yun's uncle's eye condition any better? I sent him some medicine a few days ago."

Bai Xuanang paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Old Man Jiang is in good health."

Upon hearing this, Feng Beier's pupils contracted slightly. Jiang Yunke didn't have any uncles; she was testing the two of them with these words.

Feng Beier is a smart woman; with a little probing, she knew that there was something going on between the two.

It should be noted that Jiang Yun and Jiang Qiaoqiao, a brother and sister, were orphaned at a young age and had no uncle.

Feng Beier had investigated Jiang Yun's background countless times.

They might know more about their past than Jiang Yun does now.

Dan Tiangang narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing that Bai Xuanang was about to speak, he said calmly, "Fool, you've given yourself away. This girl has figured out that there's something wrong with us."

Feng Beier subconsciously took a step back, her face somewhat unpleasant. She took a deep breath and said, "Gentlemen, you are not welcome here. Please leave."

Dan Tiangang's face was as cold as ice as he said in a cold voice, "Miss Feng, don't be ungrateful. The two of us are here today only for Jiang Yun, and it has nothing to do with you."

"As long as you call Jiang Yun over, you can leave safely."

"Otherwise, you will die here today."

After he finished speaking, a dagger slowly appeared in Shan Tiangang's hand. With his strength, killing Feng Beier was no different from crushing an ant.

Feng Beier, being a lady from a respectable family, had never seen such a scene before, and her face turned slightly pale with fright.

She took a step back: "What do you want to do to Brother Jiang?"

"That's none of your business." Shan Tiangang and Bai Xuanang sat behind the bookshelf, their figures obscured from view from outside the shop.

Feng Beier took a step back, just outside the bookshelf, where she could see the gate of the Jiang residence across the street.

"They're out, Master, they're out." Bai Xuanang saw through the gap in the bookshelf that the gate of the Jiang residence across the street had been opened.

Xu Suwen was seeing Jiang Yun off at the door.

Seeing this, Shan Tiangang's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He stared fiercely at Feng Beier and threatened, "Quickly, call Jiang Yun over, or you'll be the one dying next!"

Feng Beier pursed her lips, shook her head fiercely, and even closed her eyes, preferring to die herself rather than let Jiang Yun be harmed because of her.

"Why is this woman so stubborn?" Shan Tiangang was also angered when he saw this, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Feng, you should think carefully. You only have one life."

"Why are you so concerned about Jiang Yun? He's already married. What are you still daydreaming about?"

"If you ask me, you should hate him. If you can't have him, you have to destroy him."

What Shan Tiangang said was, of course, the standard way of thinking of a demonic cultivator.

Feng Beier shook her head, refusing to speak no matter what.

Meanwhile, outside the Jiang residence, Xu Suwen was helping Jiang Yun tidy up his Imperial Guard uniform. She glanced at the other party's bookstore and said, "If you ask me, you shouldn't delay this matter. Go find Miss Feng today and have a good talk with her."

"It's not good for them to stay outside our mansion forever."

"Don't worry, I won't overthink it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun nodded, smiled, and said, "You know..."

"Alright, I'll go talk to Miss Feng about it."

After speaking, Jiang Yun looked towards the bookstore and saw Feng Beier inside, whose expression was not very pleasant.

Jiang Yun had some doubts in her heart, and slowly walked over.

Dan Tiangang and Bai Xuanang were overjoyed, not expecting Jiang Yun to come over on his own initiative.

"Master," Bai Xuanang said in a low voice, "Jiang Yun is here."

"Nonsense, am I blind?" Shan Tiangang's eyes gleamed with delight as he slowly raised his head, staring at Feng Beier and threateningly saying, "Miss Feng, I don't have to do anything right now. As long as Jiang Yun enters this shop, you can live!"

Feng Beier trembled slightly as she watched Jiang Yun get closer and closer.

I'm about to step into the bookstore...

Feng Beier couldn't hold back any longer. She ran towards the bookstore's door, shouting, "Brother Jiang! Don't come in! It's dangerous inside!"
