Using the same trick

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the boards creaked.

Creak—

The door suddenly opened.

Song Huaying walked in and said, "Husband, Sister Wen just came over to say that she wants to invite me and Sister Gu to her house for dinner tonight. I don't know if I should go."

"It's good. Go on."

"What about your dinner, husband?"

"Ying'er, have you forgotten who was cooking for you every day when you first got married?"

Chen An said with a smile as he put on his clothes. When Song Huaying heard this, she immediately reacted.

"That's right. My current culinary skills were all taught by my husband. Why would I need to worry about my husband's dinner tonight?"

As she thought about it, she looked at Gu Xinyue, who was covering her chest with her hands on the bed, and asked:

"Sister Gu, are you going?"

"I want to stay at home with Husband."

Gu Xinyue had a dull personality. Compared to going to Wen Zhiyun's house to be a blockhead and listen to people chat, she preferred to stay at home and be intimate with her husband.

Although it was tiring at times, at least it was satisfying.

"Yue'er, you should go." Chen An persuaded.

He hoped that Gu Xinyue could be more cheerful and not stay at home all day and not interact with others.

Gu Xinyue listened to her husband and replied obediently, "Okay, I'll go."

After saying that, she put on her clothes and got out of bed. She went to Wen Zhiyun's house with Song Huaying.

On the way there, Song Huaying asked curiously, "Sister Gu, why did you keep hugging your arms in bed just now?"

"I got bit by a bug there."

Gu Xinyue said in a voice as soft as a mosquito. Her delicate face turned red.

…

On the other hand, after watching his wife and concubine walk into Wen Zhiyun's house from the window,

Chen An quickly got out of bed and went to the alchemy room to check and repair the tunnel inside.

This inspection revealed many problems.

For example, the ground was slippery, water was leaking, and some places were too narrow and tilted.

As for the slippery ground, find some sand outside the house to settle it. If there was a leak, he could just find some yellow mud mixed with fine grass to mend it.

As for being too narrow and slanted… he would have to dig some more.

After identifying the problem and formulating a solution, Chen An immediately took action.

It took about two hours. The entire tunnel had been repaired and perfected.

Chen An left the tunnel in satisfaction and casually went to the kitchen to make some food.

By the time he finished eating, the sky had already darkened. Without any moonlight, one could not even see their own fingers.

Chen An walked out of the hall and went to the courtyard outside to take a walk to help digest.

Suddenly, his powerful divine sense sensed that several Cultivators were approaching.

There were a total of four people! They were all advance-stage Qi Refining Cultivators!

Chen An's heart sank as he quickly found a place to hide.

At the same time, his brain kept recalling if he had offended someone.

Thinking of this, he thought of Wen Zhiyun.

He suspected that Wen Zhiyun often came in and out of his house some time ago, causing him to unknowingly offend some of her fanatical suitors.

This possibility could not be ruled out. After all, bootlickers could not be judged by common sense.

Once a bootlicker's mentality exploded, something like Valentine's Day would turn into a lover's tribulation.

Just as Chen An was thinking this, the four advance-stage Qi Refining Cultivators landed on the wall of Wen Zhiyun's house.

'Hm? They're not after me?'

Chen An was surprised and immediately stuck his head out to size up the four Cultivators from afar.

However, as soon as he sized them up, his heart sank to the bottom.

The four Cultivators on the courtyard wall were all carrying a machete engraved with the Black Iron Villa's logo on their backs!

'Was this an undercover agent from the Black Iron Manor? What were they trying to do by sneaking into Wen Zhiyun's house? My wife and concubine are still inside!'

Chen An was anxious.

At this moment, a delicate shout came from Wen Zhiyun's house.

"Who's there!"

"Quick, let's end this quickly. Knock this woman out and kidnap her so that we don't alarm the other Cultivators!"

"Do you think the few of you are worthy?"

"Dong—"

Wen Zhiyun jumped down from the roof and fought with the four people with a whip in her hand.

The fight went back and forth. For a moment, no one could completely gain the upper hand.

Seeing this, Chen An turned around and ran home.

He kicked open the door of the alchemy room, remove the cover of the tunnel.

He picked up the powder around him and poured them into the tunnel one by one. He wanted to use the same trick to create a dust bomb!

Not long after, the dust bomb was made, a large cloud of dust formed in the tunnel.

In terms of scale, it was several times larger than the dust bomb that was only the size of a carriage.

As long as a spark landed, the entire house would be blown up.

It was enough to blast the four advance-stage Qi Refining Cultivators into pieces. Everything was ready.

Chen An returned to the courtyard outside.

Risking his life, he shouted at Wen Zhiyun, who was already at a disadvantage:

"Fellow Cultivator Wen, quick, run towards me!"

"…"

Wen Zhiyun ignored him and focused on fighting the four enemies.

However, one of the four enemies took notice of him.

As soon as Senior Brother Huang saw him, he immediately said to the person next door, "Junior Brother Wu, go over and kill that person!"

"Yes!"

Junior Brother Wu responded and immediately charged towards Chen An with his saber.

Seeing this, Chen An turned around and ran into the house without another word.

Since Wen Zhiyun didn't know how to cooperate with him to lure all the enemies into the tunnel and blow them up, she could only fight to kill one person at a time.

Perhaps, from 1v4 to 1v3, Wen Zhiyun might be able to kill the other party.

"Trash, did I allow you to leave?!"

When she saw Junior Brother Wu suddenly leave the scene and charge towards Chen An who was next door, Wen Zhiyun immediately repelled the three people in front of her with a whip, and then she took a large stride forward to chase after Junior Brother Wu.

Seeing this, the other three also chased after her.

Time waited for no one. They had to quickly subdue Wen Zhiyun before the surrounding residents were alarmed.

Pah!

There was the sound of a whip.

Junior Brother Wu, who was chasing after Chen An, received a fierce whipping on his back from Wen Zhiyun.

His skin and flesh were immediately lacerated, and he kept sucking in a cold breath of air in pain.

"Wen Zhiyun!!!"

"Can you hurry up and follow me!!!"

"Run with me!!!"

This time, Chen An shouted very loudly.

If Wen Zhiyun didn't know how to cooperate, he would blow her up too! Better to sacrifice her to save his wife and concubine!

Wen Zhiyun was stunned when she saw Chen An suddenly roar with a fierce expression.

She recalled the scene of being scolded by her father when she was young. Her mind instantly went blank as she instinctively felt fear.

Like a puppet on a string, she subconsciously followed Chen An's instructions and ran into the alchemy room with him.

Chen An rushed into the alchemy room first and hid behind the door with Wen Zhiyun. He asked her to hold her breath with him to minimize her presence.

Soon, hurried footsteps came from outside.

It was the four spies from the Dark Iron Manor who had caught up.

Senior Brother Huang, who was in the lead, glanced at the tunnel in front of him and immediately waved his hand.

"Let's go after them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four undercover agents of the Dark Iron Manor jumped into the tunnel one after another.

Chen An waited motionlessly for a while. He felt that the four of them were already deep enough into the tunnel.

He immediately took a thin rope and threw one end into the tunnel. Then, he held the other end in his hand and pulled Wen Zhiyun out.

After running out of the alchemy room, he took out two flints and touched them hard. Sparks burst out and ignited the thin rope.

Then, without a word, he pulled Wen Zhiyun out again. She had just run out of the house.

The next second.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from behind!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The tunnel exploded several times in a row, shaking the entire ground under their feet. The flames that shot up from the ground instantly lit up the entire night.
