I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

A different environment can indeed provide a different experience. The boat would occasionally give the two of them an unexpected rocking motion, each one a delightful surprise outside the usual rhythm.

At noon, Shen Yulan received a phone call and nearly fell off the boat.

Liu Musheng is dead!

They died in the small courtyard they had just left, and all the Shadow Martial Hall members who accompanied them also died!

"Seriously? Are you serious? Playing this high?"

Qin Ge knew that, just like with Liu Tingwei's death, he would have to take the blame again.

"You still have the nerve to joke around? Do you even know how serious the death of a hall master is?"

Shen Yulan thought and thought, "No, we can't stay in Jiangcheng any longer. You have to leave immediately!"

"After you leave, where will you go?" Qin Ge asked calmly. "Jinling or the East Sea?"

"Wherever you run, you'll be found anyway, and you'll just have the added charge of fleeing from justice."

"That's true, but..." Shen Yulan calmed down a bit, "Why aren't you worried at all? It's like you already knew Liu Musheng was going to die?"

"That's strange, how did Liu Musheng find us so quickly?"

Qin Ge said, "I didn't know he would die, but the fact that he found me so quickly means I gave him a place."

"Although it wasn't given directly, it's pretty much the same!"

"What do you mean?" Shen Yulan was both surprised and confused.

"Fu Xixue contacted me before Liu Musheng appeared. She said that Liu Tingwei was dead and that the Shadow Martial Hall was in such and such a state. She was very worried about me and asked me where I was very casually at the end."

"And then you told her your location, did you do it on purpose?"

"I guess so!"

"You bastard, why didn't you say so sooner! But how could it be her?"

"Yeah, I want to know too, how could it be her?"

"So what do we do now? Go to the Fu family?"

"Wait a little longer."

......

Evening, in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng.

In front of a dilapidated mud-brick house, a gaunt old man was weaving bamboo baskets in the setting sun.

His fingers flew across the paper, his movements so practiced and fast that they were almost blurry.

The old man sensed something, paused his movements slightly, looked up for a moment, and then continued weaving.

"Why are you here?"

"Qin Ge is no simple man. You mustn't let him target you and expose me too!"

The old man's voice was cold and displeased.

Two people had already arrived nearby; they were Fu Cheng and Fu Xixue.

"Please rest assured, Lord Han." Fu Cheng said respectfully, "The entire Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall, the police station, and the Liu and Wu families are searching for Qin Ge. He is already overwhelmed with his own troubles."

"Besides, he has never suspected me, otherwise he wouldn't have told Xixue where he was hiding."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Sir, I came here to ask for your instructions on what to do next, and also..."

"The Shadow Martial Arts Hall's attention is currently focused on Qin Ge, but they will eventually turn their attention back to Xi Xue. So, I was wondering if it would be possible for Xi Xue to stay with you for the time being?"

Han Xiuyun sized up Fu Xixue with her old eyes, "Your daughter?"

This girl was exceptionally beautiful, and at the tender age of a flower, she exuded a youthful charm.

Unfortunately, at my age, I have the will but not the strength.

"Greetings, Lord Han. My name is Fu Xixue." Fu Xixue felt a chill run down her spine from Han Xiuyun's gaze and quickly greeted him respectfully.

"Then let's keep her!" Han Xiuyun wanted to give it a try; maybe Fu Xixue's stunning beauty could awaken a second spring in his life!

Even if it's not the best, it's still good to taste it. Having such a beautiful woman to serve you is at least pleasing to the eye.

"For now, there's no need to do anything unnecessary. Liu Musheng is dead. Just let things develop naturally. Doing too much will only leave traces and arouse suspicion."

"You also need to be careful. If you fall into the hands of the Shadow Martial Hall, no one will save you."

"If you don't keep your mouth shut and something leaks out, you know the consequences!"

After Han Xiuyun finished speaking, she gestured for Fu Cheng to leave, and then the bamboo flute in her hand began to move again.

"Things might not turn out the way you want!"

A voice came from behind the mud-brick house, like a thunderclap landing on Fu Cheng and Fu Xixue's heads.

Qin Ge?!

"Lord Han, right?" Qin Ge appeared and was right in front of Han Xiuyun in the blink of an eye. He sat down casually opposite Han Xiuyun. "I've heard so much about you."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that the head of the famous Moyi Hall's Dog Division was living in such poverty, otherwise I would have brought some oil, salt, rice and noodles to help alleviate their poverty."

"I never expected that the person behind my scheme would be such a simple farmer."

"I'm also from the countryside, and your clothes and living environment really make me feel a sense of familiarity!"

"You...how did you get here?" Fu Cheng stammered in shock. "This is impossible!"

"I clearly received information that the Shadow Martial Hall people spotted you on the river and chased you west of the city. How did you end up here?"

Qin Ge glanced up at Fu Cheng. "Of course I came with you!"

"If it weren't for you, how would I have known about this place, how would I have imagined that such a simple old man was actually the head of the Black Robe Hall assassins!"

He turned to Fu Xixue, grinned, and said, "Xixue, why didn't you say anything when you saw me? Are you unhappy?"

"You know, people are really strange. You look completely different when you're dressed and when you're not. I can't even tell which one is the real you!"

"Why is your face so pale? Are your cosmetics not working well?"

Fu Xixue bit her lip, her head buzzing.

Qin Ge had long felt that there was no point in trying to get anything out of Gu Yuexuan, so shortly after leaving the Fu family, he sent Xie Bingning to keep an eye on them. Today, he finally made some progress!

When Xie Bingning noticed that Fu Cheng and Fu Xixue were acting suspiciously, she immediately reported it to Qin Ge. At that time, Qin Ge was still on the river and was being watched by the Shadow Martial Hall.

So he had Shen Yulan lure away the people from the Shadow Martial Hall, allowing him to escape unscathed.

"Han Xiuyun, are you planning to talk first, or just take action?"

"I think we should talk first. There are quite a few things I don't understand that I need your help with."

"Please sit down, we're all so familiar with each other, no need to be so formal!"

Qin Ge warmly invited Fu Cheng and Fu Xixue to sit down, as if this were his own home.

"You're a force to be reckoned with! No wonder so many of our best hands have fallen to you!" Han Xiuyun put down the half-finished bamboo basket in her hand. "You never trusted Fu Cheng from the beginning; you were just using him as a pawn!"

Qin Ge shook her head, "It's not like I didn't believe it from the beginning!"

"I had my doubts, and I also dismissed them, mainly because I never imagined he would use his own daughter's innocence to sabotage my business!"

"What do you mean by that?" Fu Cheng stared wide-eyed at his daughter. "Xixue, could it be that you two...?"

Seeing his daughter's shy expression, he already knew the answer.
