Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"It is I."

Lin Quan nodded slightly.

"I never imagined that Lin Ming and the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion Master were actually twin brothers?"

Lu Feng secretly released a wisp of Yuan Power to sense the other party's energy again and found that the Yuan Power aura on the other party was indeed different, and far superior to that of Lin Ming, the steward of Bai Xiaoge. Lu Feng also showed a thoughtful expression and was secretly amazed.

Although the other party looks very similar to Lin Ming, even their eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same, the Yuan Power aura on their bodies is quite different, with a huge gap!

Besides, what intrigued Lu Feng even more was that Lin Quan, the master of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, had no connection with the Qingyun Sect, so why was he pleading for Deng Shizai?

"Why has the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion personally intervened to stop me?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng also composed himself and tentatively asked, "Could it be that Pavilion Master Baixiao also wants to do Qingyun Sect a favor, which is why he spoke up for that bastard Deng Shizai?"

"No, no, Young Master Duan has misunderstood me."

"The reason I am doing this right now is simply to uphold the rules of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion and to protect your life and property, Young Hero Duan. That's all..."

Faced with Lu Feng's probing, Lin Quan did not speak, but only hinted at something.

"What do you mean by this, sir?"

Seeing that Lin Quan was still dodging the question, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, his vigilance undiminished. "Does killing Deng Shizai mean I've broken the rules of your Hundred Knowledge Pavilion?"

"If your rules are so unreasonable, then I have no choice but to break them myself...!"

"This kid has quite a temper..."

Seeing Lu Feng's murderous aura and his complete disregard for his hints, Lin Quan felt somewhat helpless. He then secretly transmitted his voice again, "Young Master Duan, I'll tell you the truth..."

"Deng Shizai's life is indeed worthless, but his master is quite remarkable. He is the law enforcement elder of the Qingyun Sect, one of the famous Seven Masters of Qingyun, Kunyangzi."

"Not only that, that old fellow Kunyangzi is also extremely petty and fiercely protective of his own. If you were to kill Deng Shizai now, that old fellow Kunyangzi would most likely not let it go..."

At this point, Lin Quan paused deliberately, then said in a low voice, "Just as I said before, if Deng Shizai really died in Baixiaoge, once this news gets out, I'm afraid my Baixiaoge will have to close down..."

"Therefore, I hope Young Hero Duan will reconsider. Killing someone is a minor matter, but it would be best to choose a better location..."

Upon hearing Lin Quan's words, Lu Feng first frowned slightly, then immediately understood, "Choose a good place?"

"Tch, so this guy is afraid of being retaliated against by the Qingyun Sect and getting himself caught in the crossfire..."

"As expected of the Master of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, he's quite the schemer...!"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng withdrew his Yuan Power and said meaningfully, "Pavilion Master Baixiao is too kind. I will naturally abide by your rules, but that Deng Shizai's life is not cheap..."

"Hehe, as long as Young Hero Duan is willing to do me a favor, this item will belong to Young Hero Duan."

Lin Quan also sensed the hidden meaning in Lu Feng's words. He flicked his sleeve and immediately presented a top-grade storage ring containing exactly 100,000 high-quality spirit stones!

This series of actions almost wiped out the cost of Lu Feng's previous purchase of information about the Wusheng Sect, essentially making him a free Level 10 intelligence report!

"The Hundred Knowledge Pavilion Master is indeed generous; how could I refuse?"

After accepting the storage ring, Lu Feng didn't linger. He immediately dissipated his killing intent and glanced back at Deng Shizai, who was still shaken, not far away. "Get lost! Before I change my mind, get as far away as you can!"

"You bastard surnamed Duan, you...!"

Seeing Lu Feng spare his life as if he were a beggar, Deng Shizai felt deeply humiliated and his anger surged. At the same time, he stared intently at Lu Feng with a pair of resentful eyes, seemingly quite unwilling to accept it.

"You, you just wait...!"

"Duan, this debt will be recorded for you today. We'll see about this in the future!"

However, even though he was burning with anger, Deng Shizai did not dare to continue attacking Lu Feng. He could only drag his broken body and bloodstains away in a sorry state!

As for Lu Feng letting Deng Shizai go now, it's not really about letting a tiger return to the mountain or giving Lin Quan face; he has other plans!

Just as Lin Quan, the master of Baixiaoge, said, Baixiaoge is a place with many people and many ears, not a good place to kill. If he kills Deng Shizai today, the news will probably reach Qingyun Sect in Zhongxuan Region the next day.

Therefore, Lu Feng deliberately spared Deng Shizai's life. In any case, as long as he left Baixiaoge, he could crush the former in a minute, so there was no need to rush!

Besides, if Lu Feng were to give Lin Quan some face right now, he could also get 100,000 top-grade spirit stones for free, and at the same time earn back all the money he spent on buying level 10 intelligence. It would be killing two birds with one stone and making a huge profit!

"Hehe, Young Master Duan is indeed a smart man."

Seeing Lu Feng accept the storage ring without hesitation, Lin Quan chuckled, then turned and left. "The Hundred Knowledge Pavilion has always valued its guests. If Young Hero Duan needs to inquire about any information in the future, you are welcome to visit our pavilion. Please forgive me, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now..."

After saying that, Lin Quan's figure turned into a wisp of white mist and disappeared on the spot. Clearly, he was quite strong, at least at the eighth level of the Profound Gang Realm, or even stronger!

"Strange, this person's strength is clearly enough to crush me. Even if I don't intend to let Deng Shizai go, he has a hundred ways to subdue me, but he didn't choose to make a move. Instead, he offered me 100,000 top-grade spirit stones as a reward...?"

Lu Feng glanced in the direction where Lin Quan, the master of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, had disappeared. His expression turned solemn, and his mind was filled with doubt. "Could it be that this person also disapproves of Deng Shizai's tyranny, but is currently in the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion and cannot take action personally?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng stroked his chin, his expression thoughtful, as if he had guessed Lin Quan's intentions.

After all, with Lin Quan's cultivation at the eighth level of the Profound Realm, if he really intended to mediate, he wouldn't need to waste words with Lu Feng or give him any spirit stones; he could just take action directly!

It is evident that Lin Quan, the master of Baixiao Pavilion, also disapproved of Deng Shizai's domineering behavior, which is why he repeatedly hinted to Lu Feng to make his move in a different place!

Lin Quan's intentions were quite simple.

After all, Deng Shizai, this disciple of the Qingyun Sect, was not only arrogant and domineering, but also fought in the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion and even raped a virtuous woman in public. He simply did not take the rules of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion seriously!

If Deng Shizai is not taught a lesson now, once this matter is made public, the reputation and prestige of Baixiaoge in Jinling City will undoubtedly decline greatly, and they will even lose face!
