“It would appear that Wang Zhiping has too many enemies. This saves me the trouble of attacking him.”

An Jing walked out of the Red Mansion and changed back into a cloth shirt in the alley.

The person who had just met Ghost-Faced Buddha was none other than An Jing.

Initially, he had wanted to get rid of Wang Zhiping and protect his wife. However, he did not expect that someone would be able to get rid of Wang Zhiping before him.

However, the person that Wang Zhiping had offended had some strength. The ugly monk was obviously from Buddhism, but he had a sinister aura around him. The two types of inner Qi were mixed together and he was definitely not an ordinary expert in the martial world.

Moreover, the Qi in those women’s bodies was much more powerful than those from the Cao Gang. They were well-trained and had a good ability to hide their Qi. They did not seem like an ordinary faction. Where did these people come from?

He had been in Yuzhou City for so many years. Why had he never noticed the existence of these people?

An Jing thought for a moment but did not have any idea, so he stopped thinking. These people had nothing to do with him anyway, so why should he care about these useless things?

As long as they did not disturb his peace and he could live a happy life.

“Selling candied fruit, sour and sweet candied fruit.”

“Selling pears, fragrant and crispy pears. Ten copper coins per 500 grams.”

“The rouge from Flying Swallow Memory, on sale today.”

…

The streets were bustling with people.

“Boss, how much is this candied fruit?”

An Jing waved at the hawker carrying the candied fruits.

“Sir, do you want candied haws? Three copper coins for a stick. If it’s not sweet or sour, it’s free.” The hawker hurriedly ran over.

“Give me two sticks.”

An Jing took out six copper coins and smiled.

Thinking of his gentle and beautiful wife, An Jing could not help but feel warm.

…

In the Western Market of the Yuzhou City, Zhao Qingmei raised her basket and glanced at the stalls on both sides.

“Oh, isn’t that Doctor An?”

At this moment, a woman’s eyes lit up when she saw Zhao Qingmei. “Are you here to buy vegetables? I have some cabbage that I dug out from the ground this morning. It’s very fresh.”

The woman then picked up a cabbage and stuffed it into Zhao Qingmei’s basket.

“Auntie, how much is this? I’ll pay you,” Zhao Qingmei said with a smile.

“No, there’s no need for that. Doctor Xiao An didn’t even charge me for my grandson’s medical fees last time. Why would I charge for this cabbage?”

The woman grabbed Zhao Qingmei’s hand and said, “Doctor An is really kind. Our family is very grateful to him, but we’ve never had the chance to thank him.”

The woman’s hands were very rough and her palms were covered with calluses. Her clothes were also sewn and patched.

Zhao Qingmei chuckled and maintained her composure.

“I have an old hen with me. I’ll bring it back for Doctor An to make soup.”

“Doctor An takes very good care of us. You’re welcome, Madam An.”

“Doctor An is so lucky. His wife is so beautiful and looks like a fairy.”

“Of course. The two of them are a match made in heaven.”

…

Everyone began handing their dishes to Zhao Qingmei’s basket and turned her down when she wanted to pay.

In the end, when Zhao Qingmei finally left the market with Tan Yun, the baskets were already full.

The two of them arrived at a small alley.

“Missy, there are too many people here. Tomorrow, we’ll have someone deliver the food directly to your door.” Tan Yun felt disgusted when she thought about walking through a group of dirty people.

Zhao Qingmei stared at the vegetables in the basket and thought about how she should cook them.

“Sect Master!”

A voice sounded.

It was none other than the Ghost-Faced Buddha.

“Have you dealt with it?” Zhao Qingmei asked calmly.

The Ghost-Faced Buddha leaned over and said, “Everything is settled, but…”

“But what?” Zhao Qingmei asked with a sullen expression.

Whoosh!

Although Zhao Qingmei had only raised her voice, the entire alley seemed to have gone from hot to cold. The immense pressure made even Ghost-Faced Buddha shudder.

“I met an expert in the Red Mansion.”

“What background?”

“I’m not too sure. This person is hiding his head and revealing his tail, but he can see through my Phaseless Realm. If he wasn’t born with those eyes, he should be around Rank Two.”

Rank Two experts were already top-notch experts in the martial world.

A true top-notch expert did not appear in the martial world all the time. In the vast martial world, there were many small fish and shrimps. A Rank Five expert could kill many people, and a Rank Two expert was enough to enter the top 50 of the ranking. They was powerful enough to stir up a storm in the martial world.

Such a person was definitely not a nobody in the martial world.

Tan Yun frowned and said, “Yuzhou City belongs to the Jiangnan Dao City, so it’s normal for experts to appear. However, the Cao Gang is the head of Yuzhou City, and their cultivation levels are only at the Rank Three. Furthermore, this person did not reveal his whereabouts. It’s obvious that he has some concerns, or perhaps he has other motives.”

“This person is very suspicious. We must investigate him.”

The Ghost-Faced Buddha said nothing, clearly agreeing with Tan Yun.

Zhao Qingmei squinted and said calmly, “I want to know everything about this expert in Yuzhou City.”

“I understand!”

The Ghost-Faced Buddha’s heart skipped a beat as he placed his hands in front of his chest. “I will mobilize all the people from the Mortal Sect in Yuzhou City and even Jiangnan Dao to investigate this person’s background.”

The Demon Sect was divided into the Heaven, Earth, and Man Sects. The Mortal Sect was responsible for stealing, hiding, escaping, and information networks. They would often hide in the dark to spy on information and act as spies. The world was huge, and disciples of the Mortal Sect would appear at any place.

It was rumored that the Demon Sect’s Mortal Sect was comparable to the current Emperor Swallow’s Inescapable Net. Furthermore, the Inescapable Net was a secret organization that the Emperor Swallow specialized in obtaining information. The Demon Sect’s Mortal Sect was comparable to the Emperor Swallow’s Inescapable Net. It could be seen from this.

Meanwhile, the Ghost-Faced Buddha was one of the Mortal Sect’s experts.

“If there’s nothing else, go back.”

Zhao Qingmei waved her hand.

The Ghost-Faced Buddha paused for a moment before saying, “Sect Master, yesterday, the Guardian sent me a message asking if I should gather some experts. If others find out that Sect Master has appeared on the Jiangnan Dao, I’m afraid the entire Great Yan World will be affected.”

“There’s no need for that,” Zhao Qingmei said calmly. “The gathering of experts from my sect will only attract more attention.”

“I understand.”

The Ghost-Faced Buddha pressed his palms together and his body gradually disappeared.

“Tan Yun, go back.”

All of a sudden, Zhao Qingmei took a glance at the basket and said calmly.

“This bunch of bumpkins are really too despicable. I’ll chop off their hands right now.”

Tan Yun thought that Zhao Qingmei was angry because of what happened just now. Her eyes turned cold and she turned around to leave.

“Come back,” Zhao Qingmei commanded.

“Miss, is there anything else?” Tan Yun turned around and asked.

“Go and give them the money. We’ll pay as much as we need,” said Zhao Qingmei as she threw a piece of silver from her purse.

“… I understand.” Tan Yun said embarrassedly..
