Lin Changqing endured the pain and discomfort all over his body. After sitting for a while, he held the knife and lay down.

“Woof woof!”

“This dog is so badly injured. Something must have happened to the leader! Everyone, run faster!”

Not long after, Lin Changqing heard Little Tiger’s cry and the shouts of the gang members.

Lin Changqing closed his eyes and pretended to faint. Under such circumstances, it was best not to say anything.

As for his safety, he would leave it to his pet [Bamboo Staff] and spirit dog Little Tiger. As long as those gang members did not stab him immediately, he would continue to pretend to be unconscious and wait for the right time to “wake up.”

“Woof, woof, woof!”

Lin Changqing felt that Little Tiger had come to his side and kept barking around him, showing off a loyal dog to the fullest.

“This guy was attacked by the ghost-faced cat. I wonder if he can still be saved!”

“Not bad. He actually killed a ghost-faced cat!”

“Why did he provoke this thing in broad daylight?!”

Some knowledgeable members recognized the mutated creature that attacked Lin Changqing.

One of the gang members checked Lin Changqing’s breathing and felt a weak breath. “He’s still alive! But he’s seriously injured and won’t wake up for a while!”

“We’ve searched the surroundings, but we didn’t find the leader! But there’s a hole over there. There are traces of someone and a dog walking!”

“Ask that numb dog. It went to look for us. It’s quite intelligent. Let’s see if we can find the leader!”

Next, a group of gang members tried to communicate with Little Tiger. Little Tiger pretended to be confused and struggled for a while before pretending to understand. It stayed by Lin Changqing’s side and didn’t leave. It kept calling out in the direction of the cave where Leader Lu’s corpse was.

“The leader might have entered the hole! But there’s no movement inside, so we don’t dare to go in and take a look!”

“What do we do?”

“Hurry up and report it! We can’t resolve this matter!”

A group of Knife Gang’s members, including ordinary gang members and elite gang members, had lost their leader. In the face of such a situation, they were at a loss. They could only report the news and wait for the gang to send someone to deal with it.

—————–

Lin Changqing pretended to be unconscious and secretly studied the powerful life force in his body brought about by his talent [Exuberant Vitality]. After an unknown period of time, Lin Changqing felt a large group of people rushing over. Soon, someone came to his side and began to treat his wound.

“How badly is he hurt?”

“Reporting to Hallist, his injuries are more serious! Fortunately, his vital points are not injured. His physique is also very good. After my treatment, he should wake up soon.”

“That’s good! I have something to ask him. If you have any means, feel free to use them.”

“Yes, Hallist!”

Lin Changqing heard two voices talking beside him. He had an impression of that energetic voice. It was Cheng Lihu, the hallist of the White Tiger Hall of the Knife Gang’s Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise Halls!

His predecessor had a deep impression of this White Tiger Hall’s Hallistr because Elder Zhao had a good relationship with him and he had met him once.

The person in charge of treating Lin Changqing’s injuries pinched open Lin Changqing’s mouth and stuffed a pill inside. The pill was slightly bitter and melted in his mouth. That person then used a technique to successfully let Lin Changqing swallow the pill.

Lin Changqing, who had sharp senses, quickly sensed a medicinal power circulating in his body and began to heal his wounds. There was also a medicinal effect that rushed straight to his brain, making his head feel slightly cold and clear.

“This medicine is amazing!” Lin Changqing felt that even if he didn’t use the life force in his body to recover from his injuries, with the medicinal effect of this pill, his injuries would recover in ten days or half a month.

“How long before he wakes up?”

“I used my precious healing medicine. He’s fine now. He should wake up in fifteen minutes!”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

“That’s what I should do!”

When Lin Changqing heard the conversation between the White Tiger Hall’s Hallist and the doctor, he knew that the time for him to “wake up” had arrived. Not long after, Lin Changqing woke up according to the doctor’s words.

Lin Changqing’s wounds were all bandaged. Two gang members helped him up and found something for him to sit on the ground. A burly middle-aged man with a face full of stubble stood in front of Lin Changqing with his saber at his waist. “Lin Changqing, do you still remember me?”

This person was the White Tiger Hall’s Hallist, Cheng Lihu.

“Greetings, Hallist! Hallist, thank you for saving my life!” Lin Changqing’s voice was a little hoarse, but his words were clear.

“Haha, looks like you’re fine. Your life is quite tough!” Cheng Lihu was quite happy to see that Lin Changqing had recovered well. “Tell me, what happened here? Don’t worry, speak slowly!”

Cheng Lihu asked Lin Changqing.

The fact that the gang had sent out a hallist showed how important the disappearance of Leader Lu was. This made Lin Changqing’s mood even heavier.

“Leader Lu arranged for me to bring the dog and follow him here to investigate the murderer’s whereabouts. My dog was very uneasy along the way. Leader Lu said that my dog was very intelligent, so he asked me to instruct my dog to search.

“It wasn’t until we came here that my dog noticed something amiss and found the hole covered by vines over there. There’s another small hole in the back. Leader Lu wants me to open this small hole with the dog and see what’s going on inside.

“He went to the big hole himself. When I opened this small hole, I was ambushed by monsters. The monster was very fast. Fortunately, my dog rushed up to fight it and bit it, so I tried my best to kill it. I vaguely heard some movements on Leader Lu’s side, but I couldn’t hold on and fainted. I don’t know what happened after that.”

Lin Changqing spoke very slowly. He had to stop for a moment to speak, but his words were very organized, allowing Cheng Lihu and the people around him to hear him clearly. After Cheng Lihu heard this, he did not say anything immediately. No one else around him said anything either.

“This kid is too arrogant. He actually wants to use the daytime environment to find trouble with the Ghost-Faced Cat. He underestimated this resentful aura. He probably died in that hole! Sigh! What a huge problem!” Cheng Lihu whispered a few words, then looked at Lin Changqing and asked, “Kid, how did you offend him? He actually wants you to do such a thing.”

“I don’t know!” Lin Changqing replied with a confused expression.

“That kid’s uncle is Deputy Gang Master Lu! You’ve gotten into trouble for no reason. For Elder Zhao’s sake, follow me to the White Tiger Hall in the future. Your physical fitness is not bad. You’re a good seedling for cultivation. To be able to train such a capable dog, our White Tiger Hall needs talents like you!”

Cheng Lihu first pointed out the disaster that Lin Changqing had caused. One moment, he said that it was for Elder Zhao’s sake, and the next moment, he said that he was a talent. He even asked him to join the White Tiger Hall in front of so many people.

His predecessor had only met Cheng Lihu once. Lin Changqing didn’t know much about the White Tiger Hall’s Hallist. He didn’t know Cheng Lihu’s intentions, but he had no choice.

Leader Lu was actually the nephew of a deputy gang master. This was something Lin Changqing hadn’t expected.

This made his situation even more difficult.

Fortunately, the White Tiger Hall’s Hallist was the biggest here, so he was temporarily safe.
