Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

【…】

After a long pause, you finally finished explaining the situation and Yan Jinghong's identity to Bai Zhiyun.

Similarly, you also told Yan Jinghong about Bai Zhiyun's identity and how the two of them met.

After nodding, Yan Jinghong said nothing more, only leaving behind the words "Come again tomorrow" before departing from the pharmacy.

Watching Yan Jinghong leave, you couldn't help but turn to Bai Zhiyun: "Who won between you two?"

Bai Zhiyun rolled her eyes at you and snorted, "So eager to distance yourself from me in front of this Fairy Yan? Have you forgotten the old one for the new?"

Her favorability rating hasn't changed; you know, this woman only talks the talk. I might as well ignore her.

"What's wrong? Why did you come all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyun was even more furious: "You heartless bastard! If you hadn't come looking for me last night, I would have come to the Broken Star Tower today after hearing from Old Hu that you had been here yesterday, so I rushed over to find you."

At this point, the beautiful widow, who had long lived in seclusion, once again adopted a tone of having been seduced and then abandoned:

"And then I saw you flirting with this Fairy Yan. Sure enough, no man is any good; they're all fickle..."

Faced with his resentment, you decide:

["Alright," you interrupted directly, "Last night I heard the steward say that you lost a thousand catties of refined iron?"] (Option 2)

That's right.

After careful consideration, Chen Xuan decided to talk to Bai Zhiyun about this matter!

The reason is simple: Bai Zhiyun is the person he trusts most in Jinling City and the Shen family. His favorability towards her is undeniable. After all, Teacher Zhang is right: the shortest path to a woman's heart, with his tireless efforts and the help of drugs, has been almost fully opened.

Therefore, if Bai Zhiyun loses power in the Shen family, it will also affect her.

Moreover, Bai Zhiyun had no reason to betray herself!

Based on his deduction, and combined with the information he had just gathered from Yan Jinghong, and considering the situation of the Poisonous Snake Gang, he could definitively conclude that it was exactly as he had guessed.

That's exactly why.

Bai Zhiyun's enemy is the branch of the Shen family, specifically Shen Han's father's faction. Ironically, their relationship with her is becoming increasingly close.

After all, she wasn't alone, and Lao Cao wasn't going to stay. Once Lao Cao returned, Bai Zhiyun could use her to get closer to him.

Moreover, Bai Zhiyun was the only one who noticed the changes in her body, which was unavoidable.

Bai Zhiyun nodded, a hint of weariness and helplessness in her eyes: "That's right, if I find out who did it..."

Her hands clenched, her face filled with undisguised murderous intent.

【"I know!"】(Choose your own opening line)

Your words startled Bai Zhiyun, who looked at you in surprise. Unperturbed, you closed the pharmacy door again, led Bai Zhiyun to the backyard, and then spoke calmly:

"I've already killed the person for you!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyun frowned, and after three breaths, she suddenly looked at you: "Shen Fu? You killed him?"

[Indeed, who among those who could wield such immense power in this world, especially as a widow within the Shen family, would be a fool? You nodded.]

["Shen Fu colluded with the Viper Gang and sold the information to them. That thousand catties of refined iron must have been taken by the Viper Gang!"] (Option 1)

Bai Zhiyun slammed her hand on the stone table beside her, instantly cracking the three-foot-thick natural bluestone slab: "Damn old dog! You ruined my plans!"

[You spoke again: "Don't rush, the situation isn't that simple. Based on later developments, I deduced that Shen Fu's collusion with the Viper Gang was very likely instigated by that Shen family patriarch's branch..."]

You told Bai Zhiyun about some of what had happened during this time, but of course, you concealed the situation regarding the 'Seven Killing Blade'.

Instantly, Bai Zhiyun, who had just been filled with murderous intent, sat down again, a glint in her eyes. Finally, she nodded and looked at you, but this time, her gaze had changed, becoming quite complex.

"Chen Lang, thank you..."

Bai Zhiyun's favorability towards you increases by 6, current favorability: 90 (Shared hardships)

You waved your hand: "Go ahead and get busy, this matter can't be taken lightly..."

Bai Zhiyun is gone. You don't know how he'll manage to do it, and you don't want to get involved in this anymore. Right now, the most important thing is to improve your own strength!

Chen Xuan let out a breath. He checked his own status and recalled the special feedback that appeared after Yan Jinghong's breakthrough in medicine when she arrived.

He indeed saw that some special changes had occurred in the "medical skills" of that "life skills":

Medical skills (life skills)

[Realm Level: 6, 0% (Masterful)]

You can understand and treat most diseases, you can see some of the other injuries, and you can perform preliminary treatment, suturing, and repair of external injuries.

Meanwhile, your understanding and research of medical skills have reached a level of consummate mastery! When you study medical books again, your study speed will increase by 10%, and the potential point consumption will decrease by 10%!

"Wow! Not bad!"

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up; this was a great opportunity for advancement!

He closed the life skills section, but unfortunately, Bai Zhiyun suddenly arrived and interrupted his learning of "Flying Star Acupoint Positioning". However, he was not in a hurry. Yan Jinghong would come again tomorrow, and it would be almost over.

With this in mind, Chen Xuan once again took control of his character within the game and began to act.

[Having just broken through to the Tendon Refining stage yesterday, you can feel that a considerable amount of the medicinal properties of the Shennong Drywood Stake's Springtime Rejuvenation and Foundation-Strengthening Decoction remain within your body.]

[If I were to soak again, not only would my progress be minimal, but it would also place a considerable burden on my body.]

However, even if you can't practice the Shennong Drywood Stance, you can continue practicing the Canglan Sea-Stabilizing Stance. In fact, in your current view, this stance training, which cannot be improved through potential points, might be even more important.

So you changed your clothes, took the "Starlight Lamp" that you had always carried in your arms, put on a straw raincoat to conceal your face, carried a fish basket, and a fishing rod, and walked out of the back door of the pharmacy, heading towards East Lake outside the eastern suburbs of the city...

……

Under the clear blue sky, the city of Jinling was bustling with activity, and many martial arts practitioners carrying knives and swords came and went, but none of them paid any attention to the young fisherman passing by.

There was only one figure.

Wang Zhuo turned out from the street corner, staring intently at the departing figure. He subconsciously touched the spot where he had been slapped by Young Master Shen Han yesterday outside the street.

His gaze was fixed on it, and then he secretly followed.

He believed Shen Fu's words, and even more so, he believed his own eyes.

Last night, when he struck with that venomous palm strike, just like that night when he was about to catch that petty thief, the look in the thief's eyes as he turned his head:

It's exactly the same!
