16: Chapter 16 Shen Hongdou

Chen Hu did not go directly into the cellar.

Instead, he released his Spiritual Sense to probe into the cellar.

Shen Hongdou had already awakened.

She was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the cellar, performing exercises to heal her injuries.

Seeing this,

Chen Hu retracted his Spiritual Sense and turned to leave the kitchen.

After exiting his small courtyard, he bought two portions of breakfast from a street stall to take away.

Returning home, he went to the kitchen again, opened the cellar entrance, and walked in.

Shen Hongdou, who was healing, immediately opened her eyes and looked at Chen Hu vigilantly.

"I was the one who saved you!"

Chen Hu said directly.

"Many thanks!"

The vigilance in Shen Hongdou's eyes relaxed a little.

"Are you hungry? I have breakfast here."

Chen Hu placed the breakfast on the table, then picked up a portion and began to eat on his own.

"Was it you who bandaged my wounds?" Shen Hongdou asked, staring at Chen Hu.

"Don't you know what your own situation was? You wouldn't have expected me to go find a female doctor at that time, would you?" Chen Hu replied while eating breakfast.

Shen Hongdou really wanted to retort.

But after thinking about it, she couldn't find an excuse to refute him.

The other party had already done all they could by saving her.

If he had gone to find a female doctor to help treat her injuries, once news leaked out, he would definitely have been implicated.

"Thank you!"

Thinking of this, she could only thank him again, and a faint blush appeared on her pale Face.

"Alright, no need to thank me again, hurry up and eat something!"

Chen Hu pointed to the breakfast on the table.

"Mm!"

Shen Hongdou responded with a sound, then picked up the meat bun on the table and began to eat it in small bites.

After finishing breakfast.

Chen Hu said: "Wait a moment, I'm going to get something."

Chen Hu, who had walked out of the cellar, returned quickly and placed a large bundle wrapped in oil paper on the table: "This is braised beef. There are flour cakes and water in the cellar, so just make do with that for lunch. I'll bring you dinner tonight!"

After giving instructions, Chen Hu prepared to leave.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Shen Hongdou asked.

Chen Hu paused and said: "My name is Chen Hu, a senior leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang. Saving you last night was just a moment of soft-heartedness; you don't need to take it to heart.

Also, you don't need to tell me your name, your background, or what you did. I'm just a Gang member; I don't want to get involved in your affairs, and I can't afford to get involved. Once you've recovered, just leave!"

Hearing Chen Hu's words, Shen Hongdou's expression was somewhat complex.

At the same time, she felt a bit surprised by Chen Hu's identity.

Weren't Gang members supposed to be wicked and vicious?

This Chen Hu before her was quite different from those Gang members.

Before long.

Chen Hu strolled to the Gang's stronghold.

To be honest, when nothing is happening, being a senior leader is quite relaxed.

After handling some miscellaneous tasks.

He hid in the public office and began to Cultivate again.

Must admit, the talent of Xuan Grade High Rank is domineering.

In just half a day, his strength had made significant progress.

He suspected that an ordinary Flesh Refining Martial Artist would not be able to withstand three moves against him.

On the other side.

Inner City, Huang Family.

Looking at the guard captain standing before him.

Young Master Huang Shixuan felt very dissatisfied: "A bunch of trash, you couldn't even catch a severely injured woman!"

Meng Li, the guard captain, dared not retort and could only lower his head to listen to Young Master Huang Shixuan's reprimand.

After venting for a while.

Young Master Huang Shixuan asked his attendant beside him: "Have you investigated the assassin's background clearly?"

The attendant said: "Reporting to Young Master, this subordinate has already sent people to inquire. The opponent used the Clear Wind Sword Art of the Clear Wind Sword Sect. If nothing goes wrong, the opponent should be from the Clear Wind Sword Sect!"

"Clear Wind Sect?" Young Master Huang Shixuan frowned slightly.

In Linjiang Prefecture, there are three major Sects: the Clear Wind Sword Sect, the Jingang Temple, and the Divine Fist Sect.

If the noble families are like leeches on the Dynasty, then the current Sects are independent little kingdoms.

They completely disregard the Dynasty.

If the Great Yong Dynasty were still in its Peak period, these Sects would still have some scruples.

But now, the Great Yong Dynasty has declined, and its influence is getting smaller and smaller.

The courage of these Sects has gradually grown, and their actions have become increasingly arrogant and domineering.

Of course, for a Sect to disregard the Dynasty, it naturally has the strength and confidence.

Take the Clear Wind Sword Sect, Jingang Temple, and Divine Fist Sect for example.

All have experts in the Marrow Refining Realm sitting in command.

One Marrow Refining Realm expert is enough to sweep through all the Bone Refining Realm experts in Linjiang Prefecture.

Thinking that last night's assassin came from the Clear Wind Sword Sect, Young Master Huang Shixuan's expression gradually became somewhat uneasy.

Perhaps the attendant guessed what Young Master Huang Shixuan was thinking and comforted him: "Young Master, no need to worry. What the assassin did last night should have nothing to do with the Clear Wind Sword Sect, but was a personal act!"

Listening to the attendant's analysis, Young Master Huang Shixuan nodded to himself, and his expression relaxed: "Correct, if it were really the Clear Wind Sword Sect wanting to target our Huang Family, it wouldn't be a girl at the Early Stage of Tendon Refining who came, but an Elder at the Bone Refining Realm!"

"Then Young Master, should we still track the opponent's whereabouts?" the attendant asked again.

Young Master Huang Shixuan's expression changed several times: "Forget it, let's give the Clear Wind Sword Sect some Face and give up the pursuit. However, we must strengthen our defenses!"

"Yes!"

The attendant and the guard captain both received the order.

At noon.

After lunch.

Chen Hu came to the courtyard in the Slum Area where those children were settled.

He found that the spirit and appearance of this group of children were getting better and better.

So after staying here for a while, Chen Hu left directly.

Unknowingly.

Time arrived at dusk.

After arranging for the subordinates on night duty, Chen Hu strolled out of the stronghold.

He packed some food and wine from a nearby restaurant.

Then he carried it towards his home.

Returning home, he went to the kitchen, used his Spiritual Sense to scan, and found that Shen Hongdou was still performing exercises to heal her injuries.

He took a clean set of bowls and chopsticks at the cellar entrance and walked in.

"Let's eat dinner!"

Chen Hu fiddled around, placed the packed food on the table, and greeted her to eat.

Shen Hongdou still responded with a sound, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat.

After eating and drinking her fill.

Chen Hu tidied up the bowls and chopsticks and asked: "How is your injury recovery?"

"It's okay!"

Shen Hongdou said: "At most three days, my strength will be able to recover to seventy or eighty percent. By then, I will leave on my own and won't implicate you."

"That's good!"

Chen Hu nodded. After quietly copying her "Qingfeng Steps", he carried the food box and left the cellar.

Watching Chen Hu's back walk out of the cellar.

Shen Hongdou felt suspicious about her own charm for the first time.

Although there are not many male Disciples in their Clear Wind Sword Sect.

But there are quite a few who have a good impression of her, and many more who unreservedly use various ways to please her.

But this Gang member before her.

Seems to have completely ignored her beauty.

If it were any other man in the Sect, encountering this situation, he would definitely be solicitous and caring towards her, then take the opportunity to talk to her for a while.

"Hmph, this guy must be worried about getting into trouble, coward!"

After finding an excuse, Shen Hongdou felt much better.

And Chen Hu, who returned above the cellar, directly used Fusion on "Qingfeng Steps".

He has the "Flying Bird Crossing" Martial Skill for movement, so he first copied her footwork.

Movement technique, also known as Qinggong, can be used for running and escaping.

Footwork is adapted for close combat and dodging.

However, Chen Hu does not plan to Cultivate it now.

Wait until that woman leaves, then Cultivating Qingfeng Steps won't be too late.

Then, he took out three cards.

After using them, he received 10 taels of silver, one essence blood pill, and ten catties of exotic beast meat respectively.

"Damn, I got exotic beast meat again!"

Chen Hu said in surprise.

He found that this exotic beast meat was different from the last time.

So, he cut off a piece and took it.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that the effect of the exotic beast meat received this time was actually one-third better.

It seems the exotic beast meat obtained this time is of a higher grade.
