Chapter 124: Chapter 124- Time to kill Old Master Chen
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Morning.
The sky was bright, and people came to Jiang City to scout.
Lin Fan brought his cousin and entered the city to start to investigate the Chen Family.
To perfectly solve this matter, he had to understand everything about Chen Family. He couldn’t be careless at all.
Chen Manor.
As expected from a Jiang City aristocratic family. Just their entrance alone was really high profile, two statues that were even taller than humans were at both sides. If normal people walked by, they would stay away.
100 thousand silver wasn’t easy money.
He brought his cousin to the stall opposite the manor to drink some tea and observe the exact situation of Chen Family.
First, he needed to see the daily movement of the Chen Family.
Not long later, Chen Shengyao brought a servant out while Teacher Li Cong led the way on a horse.
“Cousin, I beat this fellow a few days ago.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
The reason he said that was because that person looked familiar.
Lin Fan looked towards his cousin in shock.
Damn!
He finally understood why Chen Family wanted the Wolf Brigade to wipe out Martial Path Mountain.
So that was the reason.
Li Cong was beaten up, but he was just a teacher. Chen Family wouldn’t make use of the Wolf Brigade to wipe out Martial Path Mountain just because of him.
However, his cousin beat up Chen Shengyao, so he definitely wouldn’t be happy. With his position, it was more than enough to make use of the Wolf Brigade.
However, what a waste.
In the end, Martial Path Mountain was fine, but Wolf Brigade was wiped out by Chen Family.
There was a long story in all this.
“In the future, we need to be low profile.” Lin Fan said, hoping that his cousin wouldn’t be too rash in the future. Being rash was a demon. They were working together to wipe out Martial Path Mountain, but they ended up fighting one another.
Zhou Zhongmao scratched his head in confusion, “Oh, okay. I understand, Cousin.”
Such a well-behaved cousin was just so lovable.
The owner of the shop was an old man looking at the two of them loitering here and staring at the Chen Manor.
He sighed in his heart.
Young people nowadays were just so ambitious.
What was the use of envying others? One had to work hard. If one didn’t, it was no use just staring at people all day long.
After some time, a carriage stopped outside of Chen Manor, and Old Master Chen walked out. Behind him followed three guys.
The three of them didn’t look like servants, and from their clothes, they looked like experts.
Looking at their expression, they were expressionless with a tinge of coldness. Just one look, and one knew that they were experts.
As expected, how couldn’t there be experts by Old Master Chen’s side?
Lin Fan followed but didn’t dare to get close. True experts had strong sensory abilities. If one got too close or stared for too long, they would be able to sense it.
However, he wasn’t afraid at all.
He was the Martial Path Mountain Sect Leader and was a good person. So what would happen to him when he entered the city to walk around?
When he and his cousin got to a certain distance, one of the three guys turned around and looked out, and exchanged glances with Lin Fan.
His gaze was like a warning as if he was telling him to scram.
After which the male got close to the carriage and muttered softly. He should have reported the situation.
The carriage slowly stopped.
Old Master Chen opened the curtain and smiled, “Sect Leader Lin, what a coincidence.”
Lin Fan smiled, “No, it isn’t. I saw that it was Old Master Chen, so I followed. Who knew that this little brother is so wary. Before I even got close, he noticed me. How amazing.”
“Haha..” Old Master Chen laughed, “I am old, and it is inconvenient, so it is good to have people to serve me. Where is Sect Leader Lin headed to?”
“Nowhere, I just have two things to discuss with Old Master Chen. One of them is that I hope that Old Master Chen can show face and join the opening ceremony when Martial Path Mountain opens.”
Everyone knew how to brag.
As for whether or not he would be able to attend, that would depend on what happened these few days.
Whether or not Old Master Chen’s life was long enough or not.
Old Master Chen said, “Of course. Martial Path Mountain is the only sect within hundreds of miles of Jiang City. Even if my body is unwell, I will have to go. What about the second thing?”
Lin Fan said, “The second thing is that my cousin had some conflicts with Young Master Chen. I just found out about it and came over to apologise to Old Master Chen.”
Old Master Chen looked at Zhou Zhongmao. Zhou Zhongmao just smiled in a silly manner, showing off his large teeth.
His first impression was that this kid was really dumb and pure.
His smile was really nice to look at.
“It is okay, it is unavoidable for young people to have conflicts. I won’t pay much attention to it.” Old Master Chen smiled.
He seemed really magnanimous.
It was unknown whether or not that was true or not.
Rage Points +111.
Aiyo, damn.
What did he just say? So he was really angry deep down.
Even if the small support system didn’t show names, he knew who the rage points came from.
It was definitely this evil-looking Old Master Chen.
Lin Fan said, “Old Master Chen is magnanimous, so I will thank you. I won’t disturb Old Master Chen anymore. We will head back to the mountain.”
After which, Old Master Chen’s carriage gained distance from them.
Rage Points +123.
More rage points arrived.
How petty, this entire family was just a petty bunch.
Within the carriage, Old Master Chen was expressionless. However, his eyes were filled with vicious intent.
He cursed out in his heart.
This kid, wait and see. Once this matter is finished, I will take care of you.
“Cousin, let’s return.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
Lin Fan said, “Why go back? Let’s follow them.”
He roughly understood their sensory range.
He headed close to see how far these people could sense. Now he found out that it was around 40 steps.
He contemplated something.
If he wiped out the Chen Family, then Jiang City would be controlled by the Huang Family. At that time, things would be much simpler to handle.
He followed Old Master Chen to a secluded area in the city and then stopped.
Old Master Chen entered a room.
He and Zhou Zhongmao hid outside. Right as they were about to leave, people came from the distance.
“This is?”
Lin Fan frowned. He saw that the person carried a jade pendant, and the markings on it were a little familiar.
Thinking about it, he immediately recalled that it was King Wutong’s symbol.
Who knew that Old Master Chen was on the same side as King Wutong.
Within the room.
“Old Master Chen, did you think it through?” The male in front of Old Master Chen gave off a strong aura. Just one look, and one knew that he often fought on the battlefield.
Old Master Chen said, “Yes. Since King Wutong respects our Chen Family, we will go all out to support King Wutong.”
“Good, as long as the Chen Family supports King Wutong, you will enjoy huge riches in the future. Carry this jade pendant, if you see this somewhere else, it means that they are on our side.” The male passed the pendant at his waist to Old Master Chen.
Old Master Chen picked it with both hands, his fingers trembling in nervousness.
The Chen Family didn’t have a good background. They were bandits who robbed and burnt, doing all sorts of evil things. In the end, they expressed innocence and slowly built up their business.
However, their background wasn’t clean, so they weren’t supported by the Imperial City and would even be looked down upon.
Now his chance came.
King Wutong saw the value of the Chen Family and bringing them as a part of his huge plan. This was hope for the Chen Family to gain more power.
“Also, don’t cause trouble during this period of time. The Imperial Dynasty’s Intelligence Department has started to investigate families working with King Wutong. Don’t reveal yourself.” The male said.
“Don’t worry. We won’t reveal it.” Old Master Chen said. He then waved his hands, and a man took out a pearl the size of a dove egg, “This is a little gift, Sir. Please accept it. In the future, please help us say good things for us in front of King Wutong.”
“No, definitely not, this is an insult to me.” The male pushed it away, and his expression was one of rage like he was saying that if he continued to do this, he was going to flip on them.
His hands were very well behaved as he slowly opened his pocket and placed it in his pocket while saying not to give him.
Old Master Chen cursed in his heart. What a fake person. How fake was he?
He let the person to place the pearl in his pocket.
The man said, “Old Master Chen, don’t do this next time. It is best if you take it back. I will take my leave now.”
When he said that, his footsteps were so fast that they brought with them a gust.
Damn!
Animals!
If you don’t want to accept it, then return it to me! To think he actually took it away.
Lin Fan had returned to Martial Path Mountain long ago.
Old Master Chen had three experts, but they were weaker than his cousin.
However, if the three of them followed by his side, they wouldn’t be able to attack at all. There was too much pressure, and things would easily go wrong.
He thought about assassinating the three of them, but there wasn’t a large chance of that.
The three of them ate and lived in the Chen Manor. Usually, they followed by Old Master Chen’s side.
It was really difficult to assassinate them.
To give up just like that?
That was impossible. Since he took the 100 thousand, he should have been able to do it. Otherwise, he would have to pay back the money.
Lin Fan lowered his head and was in deep thought. He then walked towards the back courtyard.
Yuan Tianchu noticed that Lin Fan had a solemn expression. He knew that he was thinking about something.
Based on what he guessed, this matter wasn’t a normal issue.
Based on what had happened during this period of time, it might be related to the Chen Family.
Don’t ask him the reason he knew about it.
Connecting all the details together, he was easily able to come to that conclusion.
However, to find out the exact situation was a little tough.
There were too few details, and he wasn’t able to guess many things.
A few days passed.
Lin Fan and his cousin spent time around the Chen Manor to find a chance to attack.
However, the chance was tough to come by.
Just as Lin Fan was prepared to take a gamble and charge in, the chance came.
He and his cousin were still drinking tea when they saw a Chen Family servant who was also drinking tea.
From their conversation, they found out that Old Master Chen was heading out.
Thinking about it, he decided not to wait anymore.
He would attack tomorrow.
Although three against four was a little tough, they only had one chance.
If they missed this chance, there might not be another one.
When Lin Fan told the Leader that he would attack tomorrow, the Leader was pumped. His eyes quickly turned red.
Zhou Zhongmao returned the Leader his machete. He was not used to using it and using his fists just felt more comfortable.
At night, he didn’t sleep. He just cultivated instead to ensure that he was at his peak performance.
Daytime.
A carriage slowly headed out of Jiang City, not attracting any attention at all.
However, there were already people waiting in the direction that they were heading in.
