Chapter 19 Secret Mission

Lian Weifeng took the stack of papers, looked through them one by one, and then placed them on the table.

He sighed, "Since the Fourth Master says so, it should be correct."

"However, this thief killed my nephew, and my Lian Family cannot let this go so easily. I hope the Fourth Master will continue to keep an eye on this, and I will have a generous gift for you later!"

Fourth Master Qu looked somewhat helpless and said:

"Brother Lian, Yan Chu hasn't shown his face for such a long time, and Longhua Prefecture is so vast. It is truly not easy to find someone. Perhaps he has already left Longhua Prefecture; why are you all so persistent?"

Lian Weifeng said, "How could I not know?"

"I will not hide it from you, Fourth Master. Ever since my nephew Jiayuan was killed, my sister-in-law has been washing her face with tears every day, and she has lost so much weight."

"My brother had no other choice but to order me to track down the traces of that thief at all costs. The Four Seas Pavilion is the best at this kind of thing, so I had no choice but to come to you, Fourth Master."

Lian Jiaze, who was listening on the side, also wore a look of sorrow.

Lian Weifeng calmly glanced at his nephew.

He still did not know that he and his third brother were actually half-brothers...

"Sigh!"

Fourth Master Qu nodded, "Then I will continue to keep an eye on it. If there is any news, I will notify you immediately."

He also knew that the Matriarch of the Lian Family came from Cangzhou Prefecture, and her maiden Family was an even more powerful Family than the Lian Family.

Lian Weitao did not even dare to take a concubine; he was truly henpecked.

Hearing the guarantee, Lian Weifeng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Then I will leave it to you, Fourth Master!"

...

After seeing the uncle and nephew of the Lian Family off, Fourth Master Qu returned to his room, sighed softly, and shook his head.

The Lian Family had really given him a difficult problem.

However, since he had received so much money, it would not do to not get things done; otherwise, his reputation in the circle might suffer.

At this moment, the young man behind him suddenly stepped forward and whispered, "Master, I have some thoughts."

"Hm?"

Qu Zhenhai looked at his disciple, not understanding what he meant, and nodded, "Speak!"

"I was thinking, since this Yan Chu knows the Disguise Art, he shouldn't be foolish enough to disguise himself as a young man again. He could be middle-aged, or perhaps an old man."

Qu Zhenhai pondered for a moment and said:

"Wei Bin, do you think I haven't considered this? But if we don't limit the age, how many people in the entire prefecture city would fit the criteria? With our manpower and resources, how could we possibly investigate them all?"

"Besides, the Lian Family is not worth us putting in so much effort to help!"

Wei Bin nodded, "This disciple has also thought of that."

"However, about half a month ago, a Second-Rank Guest named Duan Zhengchun suddenly arrived at our Four Seas Pavilion. He is under the command of Seventh Master Zeng and specializes in taking on obscure bandit suppression missions."

"Furthermore, the Martial Skill this person is famous for is a set of fist techniques, but I heard that he also knows some blade techniques."

"Except for age and appearance, the other conditions are quite consistent, so this disciple gave it some extra thought."

"Oh?"

Qu Zhenhai furrowed his brows and said, "He appeared suddenly half a month ago?"

"Exactly!"

Qu Zhenhai began to pace the room in thought.

A moment later, he stopped and turned around to command, "Find an opportunity to test this person's identity. Do not let Seventh Master Zeng notice this, otherwise it will add unnecessary trouble."

"Yes!"

Watching Wei Bin hurry away, a trace of comfort rose in Qu Zhenhai's heart.

His disciple was quite meticulous.

If it turned out to be that kid, he would have an explanation for the Lian Family.

...

The next day, Yan Chu was Cultivating in the rented courtyard.

Although he possessed the System, his own efforts were indispensable. In his spare time, every bit of experience he could gain counted.

Knock, knock, knock!

A knock on the door suddenly rang out from outside, startling him out of his state of Cultivation.

Opening the door, he saw it was Zeng Jiang, Seventh Master Zeng.

"Seventh Master, what brings you here?"

"Brother Duan, sorry to disturb you. I came today because there is a mission I would like to ask for your help with."

Yan Chu invited Seventh Master Zeng into the courtyard and asked curiously, "I can just go to the Pavilion to accept missions myself. Why trouble Seventh Master to make this trip?"

Zeng Jiang shook his head and said, "This mission is related to the Six Doors. Because of its high confidentiality, it is not on the Four Seas Pavilion's mission board."

"I am fulfilling a request from a Blue Uniform Commandant of the Six Doors to find some reliable people to assist in completing this mission. Considering your strength, Brother Duan, I came to find you."

"A confidential mission..."

Yan Chu hesitated.

Generally, confidential missions involving the Six Doors certainly carried no small amount of danger.

Because if it wasn't about dealing with a very strong enemy and fearing that news might leak, there would be no need to keep it confidential.

Thinking of this, Yan Chu politely declined:

"Seventh Master, I am only in the Muscle and Bone Realm. Dealing with ordinary people is fine, but the enemies of the Six Doors are certainly not simple. I am afraid I am unable to help."

"Brother Duan, don't be in such a hurry to refuse!"

Zeng Jiang waved his hand and said:

"The real enemies will be dealt with by the experts of the Six Doors. Your task is only to guard the perimeter with others to prevent the enemy from escaping."

"Moreover, the reward for this time is very generous; everyone will be rewarded with a bottle of Organ Nourishing Pills."

"This is a Medicinal Pill that assists in training the internal organs. Brother Duan, you don't want to be stuck in the Second Realm forever, do you?"

"Just the perimeter..."

Yan Chu considered for a moment and asked, "Can you disclose the specific details of the mission? Who exactly are we dealing with?"

Zeng Jiang shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics either; it will only be notified before the mission begins to prevent news from leaking."

"Fine!"

"Then when are we acting? Where do we meet?"

A trace of a smile appeared on Zeng Jiang's face; it seemed Yan Chu had agreed.

It was understandable; a bottle of Organ Nourishing Pills had a huge attraction for someone like Yan Chu, and it was a good thing that money couldn't buy.

Of course, for Yan Chu, what was actually more attractive were other things.

Anyway, he would just hide in the back when the time came, and if things looked bad, he would run away first.

With the Golden Goose Skill's mid-air flight level, not many people could catch up to him.

"We will act tomorrow night. I will come to call you personally, and we will go to the meeting point together!"

"Good!"

A flash of surprise appeared in Yan Chu's eyes; it seemed that Seventh Master Zeng standing before him would also participate in this mission.

However, the other party was a Fourth Realm Martial Artist who had opened his Qi Sea, so his reward would certainly be much more generous than Yan Chu's.

Seventh Master Zeng left in a hurry after giving instructions.

The other party still needed to contact others.

Yan Chu closed the door and was just about to continue Cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Art when a knock on the door rang out again.

"Who is it?"

He himself wondered, what other acquaintances did he have in Longhua Prefecture?

Opening the door, it was indeed an acquaintance who wasn't exactly close.

It was Xie Kun, who was a Guest of the Four Seas Pavilion just like him.

However, the other party was a Third-Rank Guest, while he was a Second-Rank.

In the past, they were just nodding acquaintances. Over the past half month, they had become familiar faces, but they hadn't spoken many words.

"Brother Duan, am I interrupting?"

Seeing Yan Chu open the door, Xie Kun greeted him with a smile, his face full of enthusiasm.

Those who didn't know better would think they were very close.

"Not at all, not at all. Brother Xie, please come in!"

Yan Chu wouldn't hit a smiling face, so he hurriedly invited the other party into the courtyard to sit down.

"I won't go in to sit. I came today to inform Brother Duan of something."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Young Master Wei of our Four Seas Pavilion is hosting a banquet at Cangchun Tower tonight to entertain the guests who have recently joined. Considering Brother Duan just joined the Pavilion recently, he asked me to come and invite you."

"Young Master Wei? Which Young Master Wei?"

In the half month since Yan Chu came to the Four Seas Pavilion, he had only been busy completing missions and earning experience, so he was truly unfamiliar with these managers in the Pavilion.
