Chapter 33 The Famous Sword Qingming

" Great Hero Duan, Escort Leader Zhao, Linshui Prefecture is just ahead. You both have worked hard along the way. Once we deliver the cargo, I will act as host and invite you both to Fenglai Pavilion to relax. "

Seeing that they had finally arrived at Linshui Prefecture, Shopkeeper Tao was in a great mood.

Taking advantage of the moment when Miss Su was not around, he winked at Yan Chu and the other, revealing an expression that only men could understand.

Miss Su was that Masked Woman.

From their recent conversation, Yan Chu had learned that her full name was Su Zhirou.

" Hahaha! Great! Then I will let Shopkeeper Tao spend his money! "

Zhao Hui laughed heartily and said excitedly to Yan Chu:

" Great Hero Duan, that Fenglai Pavilion is one of the best brothels in Linshui Prefecture, much more luxurious than the Cangchun Tower in Longhua Prefecture. The ladies inside are all top-tier, and a night there is not cheap! "

" Oh? Is that really so? "

A look of interest appeared in Yan Chu's eyes.

In his previous life, he was also a veteran of such establishments.

He was not averse to these places.

Besides, come to think of it, his internal fire had been burning quite intensely for over a month.

He had originally intended to find a place to vent in Longhua Prefecture city, but he had been too busy completing tasks and earning experience to find the time.

Now, he could take this opportunity to vent.

He only worried that the ladies at Fenglai Pavilion might not be able to handle it...

Yan Chu was enthusiastically discussing with Shopkeeper Tao—those two old lechers—which lady at Fenglai Pavilion was more supple, and which one's moans were the most alluring, when suddenly a True Qi transmission reached his ears.

He raised an eyebrow and said to the two, " Apologies, excuse me for a moment! "

After speaking, he stepped into the cabin.

In the shadows of the cabin, Su Zhirou removed her veil, and she was indeed stunningly beautiful.

Her eyes darted around, exuding natural charm.

Yan Chu did not speak; he knew that if this woman called him in, there must be something going on.

" Great Hero Duan, the reason this humble one called you in is that I actually have a favor to ask. "

Yan Chu had expected this: " Oh, why don't you tell me what it is first? "

" I came to Linshui Prefecture to kill someone, but that person has a Qi Sea Realm Martial Artist protecting him. I hope that Great Hero Duan can help me block him when the time comes. "

" Hehe... "

Yan Chu shook his head and chuckled, saying:

" If I recall correctly, we don't seem to have any relationship, right? Before today, I didn't even know your name. Why should I help you? "

" This request is indeed a bit abrupt. "

Su Zhirou smiled and said: " But isn't Great Hero Duan a consultant for the Four Seas Pavilion? I am willing to hire Great Hero Duan to help me! "

As she spoke, she took out a rectangular wooden box from behind her.

After opening it, inside was a precious saber gleaming with cold light.

The saber was a dark cyan color, with intricate inscriptions carved on the blade, and two small characters above: 'azure nether'.

Then Su Zhirou said:

" I know that Great Hero Duan treats wealth like dirt, so offering money would be an insult to you. "

Yan Chu's previously indifferent expression softened a bit.

It must be said, sometimes knowing how to speak is very important.

When this woman had originally brought up the commission, Yan Chu had already planned to turn around and leave.

Not everyone was qualified to hire him.

He wanted to say: You can't afford me!

But after she opened the wooden box and he saw this saber, Yan Chu changed his mind.

If the pay was enough, he could certainly be hired!

This woman not only knew how to speak well, but also knew how to cater to his interests.

Yan Chu slowly picked up the saber.

The blade was three feet nine inches long, the hilt was less than a foot, and the edge flashed with cold light. When he touched it with his True Qi, he even had a feeling of being cut off.

A voice as pleasant as a clear spring flowed from Su Zhirou's mouth as she explained the saber to him.

" This azure nether precious saber was acquired by my father by chance years ago. Unfortunately, my father used a sword, so this saber has been gathering dust ever since. "

" I see that Great Hero Duan's saber technique is exquisite, yet you lack a suitable precious saber. As the saying goes, a precious saber matches a hero. I think this saber is a perfect match for Great Hero Duan. "

" Hehe! "

Yan Chu stroked the azure nether precious saber, finding Su Zhirou more and more pleasing to the eye.

He was no longer a greenhorn.

He knew that the Rank of weapons from low to high were: Ordinary, Hundred-Refined, Thousand-Refined, Famous, and Divine.

A Famous-grade precious saber was priceless and enough to hire a Fifth Realm Master.

The saber he was using now was only of Ordinary grade, not even reaching Hundred-Refined.

" Who do you want to kill? "

Since she had paid the reward, Yan Chu didn't say another word.

In business, you give and take, and only then can it last long.

A rare trace of hatred appeared in Su Zhirou's beautiful eyes.

" The person I want to kill is named Yan Zhifeng. "

" He was originally the steward of my Su Family, but he was seduced by the Gao Family and poisoned my father. Now he is a shopkeeper for the Gao Family's trading firm and is highly valued by the Gao Family. "

" He is a Fourth Realm Martial Artist himself, and he is always protected by a Fourth Realm expert. "

" Someone from the Gao Family? "

Yan Chu frowned.

He had thought Shopkeeper Tao had the biggest grievance against the Gao Family, but he hadn't expected it to be this woman.

This was the hatred of a father's murder.

Although it was Yan Zhifeng who did the deed, the Gao Family was the mastermind behind it.

" Great Hero Duan, please rest assured. I have self-awareness and am currently unable to do anything about the Gao Family. "

" But that traitor Yan Zhifeng, I absolutely will not let him have an easy time! Letting him live one more day is an insult to my father's spirit in heaven. "

" Hmm, good! When are we acting? "

Yan Chu nodded, not caring much about this.

After all, it was just killing; who wasn't worth killing?

" There is no time to lose. I plan to act tonight! "

" I have informants in Linshui Prefecture and know that the traitor will stay at his mistress's house tonight. It is the best time to kill him. "

" Good, then tonight! "

Yan Chu sighed.

Tonight's plans were disrupted again.

Could it be that all good things come with difficulty?

...

At night, when the moon was in the middle of the sky.

Even though Linshui Prefecture was a place of wealth and splendor, it gradually became quiet at this time.

Only the sound of the night watchman's clappers could be heard from afar.

Yan Zhifeng walked out of a restaurant, drunk, stumbling as he walked.

He was followed by a dozen people for protection.

This included a Qi Sea Realm Martial Artist, which showed how much the Gao Family valued him.

Although Yan Zhifeng's martial potential had been exhausted, he was quite talented in business, running the Gao Family's trading firm with great success, with large amounts of gold and silver flowing into the Gao Family every year.

" Hehehe... "

A lewd smile appeared on Yan Zhifeng's face.

Just now in the restaurant, the woman beside that Young Master Gao was extremely charming, making him feel a surge of heat.

Now he was thinking of hurrying to his private residence to have a good time.

The woman in the private residence was originally a decent woman.

But after he took a fancy to her, he found an excuse to send her husband to jail, bribed the jailer to poison the man in prison, and threw him into the mass grave outside the city.

Later, he used all sorts of means to get his hands on the woman.

Originally a decent woman, under his training, she was comparable to the ladies of Fenglai Pavilion. During this period, he was drained of all his strength by that vixen every time.

" Brother Li, why don't you all step aside? I need to relieve myself. "

Walking to a street corner, Yan Zhifeng looked at the green-clothed swordsman and other guards beside him.

The green-clothed swordsman frowned, but still turned around with the others.

Sizzle... Yan Zhifeng unzipped his pants and began to relieve himself on the street.

Unfortunately, a few drops landed on his shoes.

After all, he was getting old...
