Chapter Sixty: Lurking

  Feng Xiao Xiao and the others escaped from the siege of Longmen Inn, still not daring to slack off. The crowd ran wildly without any purpose until they found that no one was chasing after them.

  Feng Xiao Xiao first thanked Yi Jian Chong Tian and Jian Wu Hen for coming to help, although he felt that their arrival was of no use and only added a small episode. Then Feng Xiao Xiao asked with ill intentions why He Xue Yi wasn't together with him.

  Yijianchongtian's answer made Fengxiaoxiao extremely disappointed, the reason for not coming was very simple, it was just because he was not online. There was no emotional crisis as Fengxiaoxiao had imagined. Moreover, not only was there no crisis, but Yijianchongtian also enthusiastically expressed that the two of them would get married soon and must invite Fengxiaoxiao to attend.

  Nowadays, people can't help but say "congratulations" and other polite phrases.

  Then they said their goodbyes, and Jian Chong Tian and Jian Wu Hen left first. It wasn't until then that Feng Xiao Xiao's group remembered the Treasure Basin.

  The short message from the tea house battle has been prompting new messages, but there hasn't been time to look. Now looking at it, several messages have accumulated, and the first few are all responses from people calling for help from the wind.

  Lao Da and Xiao Yao's reply was "We'll be right there."

  Yijian Chongtian and Jian Wuheng's response wasn't immediate, it was received later, so they arrived a bit late.

  Liu Ruoxue also replied, first asking what's wrong! Seeing no reaction, she said she would come immediately. Later, there was another message asking where Xingyuan Teahouse is! Feng Xiaoxiao replied briefly, indicating that everything was fine.

  The rest of friends are not online. The message sent by the last Jubaopen not long ago said that he had returned to Xingyuelou and found no one, asking where everyone went!

  The wind whispers back to him: Everyone has nothing to do with it anymore!

  Jubao Pan was furious and loudly declared that he had something to do, shouting that he wanted to go take revenge. The wind whispered Jubao Pan's intentions back to the boss, who contacted Jubao Pan directly; with just one sentence, Jubao Pan calmed down. The wind asked the boss what he had said, and the boss replied that it was nothing, saying only that they should think things through carefully, as acting impulsively is the devil! Everyone responded with a collective "oh..."

  Everyone was preparing to leave Yangzhou, and the four of them were naturally returning to Luoyang. Hua Mantian worried that Feng Xiao would be taken advantage of alone at Longmen Inn, so he strongly urged him to travel with everyone else. Later, under Xiao's persuasion, he gave up. Xiao knew that if it was just Feng Xiao alone, he could escape if he couldn't win a fight, and being alone would eliminate many troubles.

  The four men went ahead and left, and after arriving in Luoyang smoothly, they informed Feng Xiao that there was no ambush at the post station, but did not rule out the possibility that Longmen Inn was targeting only Feng Xiaoxiao. Feng Xiao acknowledged receipt.

  Friends have all gone, and the wind has returned to being alone again. However, he had already made up his mind to avenge the death of Jibao Pan. Who killed Jibao Pan is no longer worth investigating, but unfortunately, the responsibility fell on Longyan's shoulders. Feng Xiao's goal was to kill at least one level of Longyan, or even two levels if possible.

  The wind whistled as it first rushed towards the direction of the Apricot Coming Teahouse, just when the Gathering Treasure Basin had turned back to the teahouse. It should have been right at that moment when everyone rushed out of the teahouse and Longmen Inn chased after them, so they didn't meet anyone. Now that everyone has run away, it's likely that Long Yan will go back to continue with Fei Yun what was interrupted by themselves.

  The wind was blowing, of course, he wouldn't rush into the teahouse rashly. He lurked on the rooftop across from the teahouse, straining to look inside through the windows. As a result, he could only see that there were people, but couldn't make out who they were specifically. That someone was in the teahouse was a fact that didn't need looking to know.

  The wind was blowing gently as he activated his lightness skill, leaping onto the rooftop of the teahouse across from him. His movements were so swift that in an instant, he had already landed on the other side. Even if someone had noticed, they would probably have thought it was just their eyes playing tricks on them.

  If Longyan and the others were still inside the teahouse, Feng Xiao would now be right above their heads. Although they were close by, the roof blocked the direct transmission of light, so Feng Xiao still couldn't see what was going on inside. He concentrated his attention and listened carefully, but all he could hear was the hubbub from the streets outside.

  Fortunately, Feng Xiao was a university student of the new era, who had been exposed to all kinds of martial arts works since childhood. The game's production team probably also drew materials from similar works for the design of the game scene, so Feng Xiao effortlessly lifted up a few tiles on the roof and the situation inside the house was clearly projected in front of him like a small movie.

  Longyan returned to the tea house with Feiyun to discuss matters.

  The wind was blowing strongly, remembering the historical lesson that "impulsiveness is the devil", he did not act rashly and first carefully observed the situation inside the house.

  Apart from Longyan and Feiyun, Feng Xiao saw two familiar faces. One was Liu Yue, whose presence here could be understood. The other one, however, was unexpectedly Bai Xiaosheng!

  Feng Xiao Xiao also noticed the other three people sitting with Liu Yue, who seemed to be very powerful. The knowledge of the Jianghu that Feng Xiao Xiao had accumulated over the past few days told her that a powerful person doesn't necessarily have to be eye-catching, and it's just an ordinary person's wishful thinking that all powerful people are dazzling. In fact, the appearance of a powerful person is often plain and unremarkable. Of course, Feng Xiao Xiao's main reason for judging those three as powerful was not because of their plain appearance, if being plain was enough to be considered powerful, then everyone in Jianghu would be powerful. Feng Xiao Xiao's main basis was that they were sitting at the same table as Liu Yue, and Liu Yue was a powerful person.

  This experience, Feng Xiao learned from Wan Shi Tong's Xintian Lou, where he noticed that during the gang's collective gatherings, small groups within the larger group were often divided by level. This was not a gang rule, but rather because people of similar levels found it easier to become friends in the game.

  If the guess that the wind is blowing is true, then if you rush in now and the people of Fei Yun Mountain Villa come to help, even if you can retreat safely, the goal of assassinating Long Yan will definitely not be achieved.

  His own plan couldn't be implemented for the time being, and Feng Xiao felt a bit disappointed. However, his curiosity drove him to listen in on what the two major factions were discussing. Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng's presence also surprised him, and earlier when he arrived with Ju Bao, Liu Yue's four people were not present.

  Listen carefully, the more I hear, the more I feel that it's tasteless. The two of them are discussing things that have nothing to do with what I'm interested in. It's just some past grievances and how to deal with them, finally agreeing that everyone will work together from now on to create a better future. Longyan is now completely different from his previous dejected state, looking proud and majestic, somewhat like Zhou Yu's demeanor in "Nian Nu Jiao - Chibi Huai Gu". Unfortunately, Feng Xiao has already clearly seen that Longyan is not confident enough, saying they will cooperate, but judging from their conversation, the Dragon Gate Inn is at a complete disadvantage.

  Finally, the two ended their prospects for the future, and the wind that had been listening to them with a dull expression was about to fall asleep when suddenly Flying Cloud asked Long Yan: "Brother Long, what do you think of today's events?" The wind's expression changed in an instant. Today's events? What else could it be!

  As expected, Longyan stood up in anger and said: "What else is there to see? The wind is howling, I am at odds with him!"

  Fei Yun sank into thought and said: "I've heard that this Feng Xiao Xiao is unaffiliated with any sect or clan!"

  Longyan Road: "Fei brother said it's right, but this person seems to have some connection with a small gang called Xintian Building on our side!"

  Fei Yun said: "That small gang is not worth mentioning, but the one who came to help earlier, Akira, you should know him, he can be said to be the second-in-command of the Iron Flag Alliance!"

  Long Yan Dao said, "Of course I know him. At the beginning of the martial arts conference, I lost to him because of a moment's carelessness. However, I heard that this person is enthusiastic about fighting monsters and leveling up, and doesn't seem to be very interested in things like factions!"

  Fei Yun continued: "Those three people who followed Akatsuki earlier are not simple characters, especially the one with the sword, I think he's quite skilled!"

  "He! He's just more skilled in martial arts training, that's all. He and I both come from the Hua Shan sect, so I can see through him!"

  Fei Yun said coldly: "Can the level of Huashan School's martial arts be so fast just because it has risen? I don't think so!"

  Longyan was silent, without a word.

  Fei Yun continued: "None of these people are easy to deal with, I think you'll be in big trouble from now on! Also, don't forget, there's still Yi Jian Chong Tian, the so-called number one master!"

  Longyan let out a deep sigh and said with a look of disappointment, "What a pity! My sect doesn't have any masters like your 'Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon'!"

  "Feng Hua Xue Yue", who is that? The wind swept through the crowd inside, wondering if there was such a powerful person among them.
