Ling Yue put down the book in his hand, thought for a while, and then said, "04 is fine. By the way, speaking of Tianyong City, let's set off tomorrow."

"But your injuries haven't healed yet. Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Lin Yaoxie said worriedly.

“Hey, this little injury of mine is nothing. I was injured much worse before, and I still got around all the time,” Ling Yue replied.

Seeing that Ling Yue had made his decision, Lin Yaoxie said nothing more.

Evening came quickly.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Shaogong was playing the zither under the moonlight.

His piano playing is truly remarkable.

After playing one piece, another one began.

Upon hearing the music, Xunfang opened the door and came out, standing beside him and quietly listening to him play.

Ouyang Shaogong noticed someone standing behind him, so he stopped playing the zither and asked, "Was my music pleasant?"

“It sounds beautiful. Who would dare say your music isn’t beautiful?” Xunfang replied, then she walked over and sat down next to Ouyang Shaogong.

“Then I’ll play the piano for you every day from now on, okay?” Ouyang Shaogong asked.

“Okay,” Xunfang said with a smile.

Her smile looked so beautiful to Ouyang Shaogong.

At that moment, Lin Yaoxie couldn't sleep, so he went up to the roof to look at the stars.

Soon, he noticed Feng Qingxue coming out of the house.

"Qingxue..." Lin Yaoxie called out to her.

Feng Qingxue looked up and saw Lin Yaoxie.

Immediately, she used her light-footed skill to fly onto the roof and sat down next to Lin Yaoxie.

"Brother Demon, why aren't you asleep yet?" Feng Qingxue said.

“I can’t sleep, so I’m just sitting here,” Lin Yaoxie said.

"What about you? Why aren't you asleep?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

"I can't sleep either," Feng Qingxue replied.

So the two of them sat there quietly, enjoying the breeze.

Suddenly, Lin Yaoxie heard a loud noise coming from afar.

He stood up.

"What's wrong?" Feng Qingxue asked, not quite understanding at first.

"Qingxue, didn't you hear a sound?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

Feng Qingxue listened carefully and found that there was indeed a sound.

Soon, they saw a group of people walking towards them with torches.

Lin Yaoxie had a bad feeling.

"What are these people doing?" Feng Qingxue asked.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling they're not coming for anything good," Lin Yaoxie said, frowning.

Then he went downstairs with Feng Qingxue.

"Why don't we leave here first?" Lin Yaoxie said.

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say,” Feng Qingxue replied.

Lin Yaoxie turned and went into Ling Yue's room, then tried to wake him up.

"Ling Yue... Ling Yue," Lin Yaoxie called out anxiously.

Ling Yue opened his eyes quickly.

"What's wrong?" Ling Yue asked.

“Some people have come outside, and I don’t think they’re good people. It’s not safe here, so let’s leave,” Lin Yaoxie said.

"Whether they're good or bad, it has nothing to do with us anyway," Ling Yue said.

Just then, Feng Qingxue ran in.

"Something's wrong! Those people who came earlier have surrounded this place," Feng Qingxue said anxiously.

"What did you say?" Lin Yaoxie's expression changed upon hearing this.

The two of them went outside.

Soon, someone arrived at their place.

The newcomer carefully examined Lin Yaoxie and then said, "It's you. I can't be wrong."

"Me? What do you want with me?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

"Hmph! You killed our pharmacy owner, that's true, isn't it? So tell me, what else could we want from you?" the man said.

Lin Yaoxie quickly recalled what had happened during the day. He thought he had hidden himself very well, but he hadn't expected to be discovered in the first place.

At this moment, Ling Yue came out and was startled when he saw so many people.

He turned to look at Lin Yaoxie.

"What the hell is going on?" Ling Yue asked.

"This kid killed our shop owner. We just need to take him back; we won't hurt any other innocent people," the leader said.

Ling Yue frowned, then looked at Lin Yaoxie.

He didn't tell me about this, Ling Yue thought.

"Trying to bring people along? Impossible!" Feng Qingxue said, then stood in front of Lin Yaoxie.

330 “Hey girl, what are you trying to prove?” The leader rolled his eyes at Feng Qingxue.

Lin Yaoxie pulled Feng Qingxue behind him. After such a thing happened, how could he, as a man, let Feng Qingxue stand in front of him?

“I killed your boss for a reason, and I don’t think I did anything wrong. Your boss was actually a heartless boss. I don’t know why you stayed by his side for so long,” Lin Yaoxie said.

Lin Yaoxie's words surprised the leader.

He sneered and said, "Alright, stop making up stories for me. I know my boss better than you do. Stop slandering me."

"If you don't believe me, you can go back and check the accounts. Your boss must have managed the accounts himself when he was alive, right? If you go and find the ledgers now and thoroughly examine them, you'll know whether what I'm saying is true or false," Lin Yaoxie added.

His words made the leader begin to waver.

"You're just too honest, that's why your boss tricked you," Lin Yaoxie said, patting him on the shoulder.

So the leader immediately ordered someone to fetch the account books.

After taking the ledger over, the leader began to look at it.

Sure enough, Lin Yaoxie was right.

Chapter 5H - Facing Difficulties

The leader glanced at Lin Yaoxie, took two steps forward, and said, "Fine, since you weren't lying, I'll let you off this time."

Then they left.

Lin Yaoxie breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he was just talking nonsense, because he guessed that since the boss was taking money from the customers, he was very likely to take money from his subordinates as well.

But to my surprise, he was right.

Those people quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The three of them went back into the house.

When they returned to the house, Ling Yue began to question them.

"Demon, what exactly is going on... Why are they targeting you? Most importantly, they claim you killed their shop owner. What are you doing? Didn't you say you were just going out to buy some medicine?" Ling Yue asked.

This matter could be a big deal or a small deal...

“Senior brother, I did go to buy medicine. I never intended to kill anyone, but the other party is a heartless boss,” Lin Yaoxie said.

“Even if he’s a heartless boss, a little lesson would have been enough, but it doesn’t warrant killing him like this… Besides, heartless bosses are everywhere,” Feng Qingxue said.

"Sigh... I had no choice... When I was fighting them, the violent energy inside me exploded, and then I had no choice but to kill them to silence them," Lin Yaoxie said.

"Forget it, this matter is over anyway. Let's go back to sleep. We'll leave tomorrow, and then everything will be fine," Ling Yue said.

So the three of them went back to their rooms.

The next day, Lin Yaoxie went out and bought some dry food to eat on the road.

After preparing enough food, Lin Yaoxie booked a boat.

"I've prepared everything. Now everyone can go back," Lin Yaoxie said.

So the three of them boarded the boat.

Because of his previous unpleasant and dangerous experience, Lin Yaoxie was extra careful this time.

Finally, the three of them arrived at Tianyong City.

Lin Yaoxie disembarked and stood at the door.

He felt a familiar sense of strangeness, because he had been gone for far too long.

Ling Yue patted Lin Yaoxie on the shoulder.

"What are you still standing here for? Go inside!" Ling Yue said.

So the three of them went inside.

At this moment, the others are practicing martial arts.

Upon seeing them arrive, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked towards them.

The men all focused their attention on Feng Qingxue, because she was naturally beautiful.

"Yo, you demon, what brings you back?" Ling Duan sneered.
