Chapter 55: Strange man

Some minutes after running away from the Golden horse patrol team, the team got a notification.

[Ding!: You have Completed a compulsory quest!(Blue)

Received: 5000 experience, +20 clan reputation, +5 individual Notoriety and a random cultivation method from your patriarch himself.

Details: Deliver the message to Chairman Kin within 90 minutes without fail.

Optional Quest(Ongoing): Survive until you report back.

Reward: special item.]

Upon reading through the notification, Qin Feng couldn't help but toot in joy, but that didn't last long either.

He noticed the optional Quest that was still ongoing and quickly said, "Rush back to the manor now, I don't think it's over!".

Lu Da's felt speechless when he saw that they were yet to receive the cultivation manual mentioned, 'It's probably until we head back'.

They kicked their horses while dashing through the road, it didn't take long for them to notice some horse chasing them from a distance.

"They're here!" Chu Yi was the first to notice the enemy, so she alerted the others.

Soon they were in the commercial district and it was really busy today due to most places being closed during the Chaos.

Worried that injuring or wounding someone would affect his reputation, Qin Feng hesitated and tried to slow down, but he soon remembered he wasn't a normal player.

As a VIP player, he had already chosen the evil camp and the Notoriety would be better for him, also he was really curious about the reward for the optional quest, so he couldn't afford to die...

"Haa!" He urged the horse faster while whipping it, the civilians began to panic, bringing further chaos to the main market.

Meanwhile the live stream on the other hand

<Woah, Go leader!!>

<It's just like watching a movie, who do you think will die first...I bet 50,000 credits that Lu Da dies first>

<2 credits lol, I'm poor>

<Shut it, I'm trying to observe Whitehorseknight's face...lol this game is reach, you can see the tension in his eyes but his face is stiff>

<I think I'm in love with this beauty>

Qin Feng couldn't be bothered to read the comments as he soon noticed that the commotion had attracted the city's Yanmen officers.

He looked at his companions and shouted, "Disperse!" Before turning towards a different path.

"Stop them!! Stop them!" Their pursuers alerted the surrounding officers.

One of them, who happened to be close to Lu Da's had tried to apprehend him by diving forward, ended up missing his target as he got kicked in the head by the horse.

"get them, don't let any of those hooligans escape!!, They dare cause problems for me" An officer with thicker armor roared upon coming out of a the Yanmen branch station.

Turns out they were creating a scene in front of one of the station.

[Ding!: You are presently being chased by the authorities, Kindly make an escape.

Rating: white

Reward on a successful escape: +3 Notoriety.]

"Just great..." after reading the notification, Qin Feng felt that escaping with the horse would only attract more attention, so he decided to abandon it upon finding the appropriate opportunity.

At the VIP room of White Cloud Tea shop, located not too far from the City Lord's mansion and {Sun Desert faction's Yanmen headquarter, there was only Qiang Lei who was quietly watching two other middle-aged men playing 'Go' while having some tea.

Suddenly one of the guards came in from outside and whispered into Qiang Lei's ears.

Hearing the report, he walked towards commander Zhuge, who in turn nodded thoughtfully, "You say Lin Qing is already chasing them?"

"Yes" Qiang Lei confirmed with a firm nod.

The other middle aged man looked at the two curiously, This man had a plain and playful appearance even though he looked much older than commander Zhuge, there were even some white hair on the sides of his head but you could still see how much commander Zhuge respected him.

Although he was curious the man chose not to speak about it, he just continued dropping his pieces in response to Commander Zhuge's action.

"And they have just left Main square?.

Such a small group would be hard to find with the way the district have been busy since yesterday.

Lin Qing should have one officer who is good in tracking , investigate the incident. The others should return to the station immediately.

Hmph!, Can't even catch three people with their numbers."

Qiang Lei did not speak; he just left quietly.

After a while, Commander Zhuge looked at his companion and reluctantly smiled, "Patriarch Bai, This Gu clan members have been making work difficult for me recently, you still haven't told me why are you interested in them ."

The plain looking man smiled and said, "it's nothing, I just believe that clan is the missing spark we need to break free".

Clak!

He placed another piece before picking his tea cup with amusement evident on his face, he has always liked to see his agitated opponents.

In an old alley, Fatty Zhu and Jiang Qin acted like they were on a normal walk.

They spoke casually as they were moving, but suddenly their speed increased.

Soon they arrived at a T junction and turned right before slowing down.

With that, they spotted an alley not too, in fact, you could say it was in front of them.

They didn't even need to look too hard before they found their target.

It was a slim man that looked sick, he had a hat on, so they couldn't see his face clearly, added to the fact that he was limping, it hid his face more.

Fatty Zhu and Jiang Qin were drinking at an open bar, not too far from the manor when Jiang Qin alerted his fat companion, telling him to follow this weak looking man.

The red haired boy spoke with confidence as he said, "Didn't I tell you there was something fishy about the man, I saw him pass by the manor three times, and each time, he would wear a different cloth while acting differently.

Moreover, each time he passed by, He would carefully observe the Manor's surrounding, perhaps he has malicious intent.

If it wasn't for masters teachings about alertness, I wouldn't have taken note".

Jiang Qin was someone that has always been on the run with Yu Xing, so he's the one that had stayed with him the longest, so he picked up a few habits.

While hanging out with fatty Zhu, he was always paying attention to his surrounding and the Manor.

Thus, all people going through there were seen by him at least once.

And with his memory, he could never forget anything after he had seen it once, that was how he picked up medicine.

"cough...This man's eyes are shady, he acts like a mortal but from his steps, you can still see that he's definitely a skilled warrior." unwilling to be outdone, Fatty Zhu coughed awkwardly and decided to say something.

Understanding this, Jiang Qin chose not to call him out on his bluff and continued following the man.

After some time, the man went inside a small six-floored residential building, and then went up the stairs.

Fatty Zhu stopped Jiang Qin at the foot of the stairs and listened carefully with his eyes closed, his fleshy neck would shake along his head as he tried to listen.

After a few seconds he said to Jiang Qin while pointing at a general store on the other side of the street,"Let's wait over there".

While walking he whispered to Jiang Qin, "he went to the fourth floor by the left side".

They stood by the shop and acted like they were watching some performers before fatty Zhu explained his plan to Jiang Qin, "Let's see if he'll come out again, if he does, you'll wait here and watch the house while I follow him.

If he doesn't in 20 minutes, you will go back and bring some more people, then we'll attack the place".

"Okay..."

Five minutes later, the man came out dressed in a neat scholar attire, making the Duo speechless.

They looked at each other and nodded before fatty Zhu followed the man back.
