After walking out of the Tianxiang Building, Jin Ancheng looked at the colorful lanterns shining brightly on both sides, listening to the noise of people guessing fists and shouting orders nearby, a kind of indescribable satisfaction floated up in his heart.

  This is one's own territory, this is the success of one's first half life!

  And all of this was achieved through one's own hard work and efforts!

  He lowered his head, looking at the pair of white and tender hands, the smile at the corner of his mouth becoming more and more apparent. Although these hands looked like those of a true merchant, in Tiān Dìng City, within the nearby three provinces, they had the nickname "Yán Luó's Pursuing Life Hands", having crushed the throats of countless people.

  Just as he was immersed in memories of the past, a young monk suddenly appeared before him, with his hands clasped together and a serious expression on his face.

  "Amitabha Buddha! This donor, I observe that your forehead is dark."

  After a brief moment of stunned silence, Jin Ancheng's heart surged with boundless anger. When did monks start moonlighting as fortune tellers? The last person who tried to entertain himself was now lying in the chaotic burial grounds outside the city!

  "Little monk, you'd better tell me where my fortune is going dark." Jin Ancheng said with a skin-deep smile, while raising his hand to stop the guards from advancing forward. He wanted to personally give this little monk an unforgettable memory for life.

  Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly fixed on a spot because he saw four people standing where the little monk had just passed by, two of whom were not people he could afford to offend.

  What is this monk's identity after all?

  Meng Qi said with a hint of a smile: "This humble monk is just kindly reminding the donor, as for why it's so, heaven's secrets cannot be revealed."

  "What the hell is she, a monk or a Taoist priest?! Jin Ancheng cursed inwardly, but his face was all smiles: "The young lady has arrived, and it's an honor to have you here."

  "The owner of the Golden Pavilion, I'm just a passerby." Cui Jinxiu said with a smile, ever since she understood what it meant to have an incompatible artistic style, she had been like this.

  Meng Qi no longer looked at Jin Ancheng and turned around to walk back to Cui Jinxiao and the others.

  Jin Ancheng is the owner of Tianxiang Building, the mastermind behind the most prosperous street in Tiandingshan City. He was also one of the last people to have contact with Duan Mingcheng before his disappearance. Before disappearing, Duan Mingcheng had a banquet at Tianxiang Building for Cui Jinhua, the son of the city lord of Tianding City, and Fei Zhengqing, the head of the Tianding City police department. However, after leaving Tianxiang Building, he never returned to his own mansion in Tianding City.

  About Jin Ancheng's intelligence, "Mr. Xian Yin" Duan Xiangfei provided a very detailed one, so Meng Qi recognized it at a glance, and took the opportunity to scare him.

  Jin Ancheng accompanied the smile, and then sent Cui Jinxiu, Meng Qi and others to turn into the side street. Then his face sank, and he said in a cold voice: "You check the origin of that monk just now, and see what relationship he has with the eldest sister."

  If it's just an ordinary relationship, then don't blame me for being ruthless!

  The nickname "Yan Luo's Soul-Chasing Hand" doesn't just represent my skills with my hands, it also means I will definitely take revenge!

  As for this point, Jin Ancheng not only didn't feel ashamed, but was quite proud instead.

  "Yes, master." Two men emerged from his guard and quietly followed in the direction of Cui Jinxiu's departure. They didn't dare to follow Master Cui, but they knew that their destination must be the City Lord's Manor. They planned to go there ahead of time to wait and see if the monk was living in the City Lord's Manor or staying at an outside inn. If it was the latter, it would clearly indicate a shallow relationship between the two parties.

  After giving the order, Jin Ancheng gathered his thoughts and walked towards his own house. As he walked, the words "Yintang Fahui" began to echo in his mind, making him feel a little uneasy.

  "Is some calamity going to befall us soon?"

  "Don't think too much, what does a monk know about fortune-telling? He's obviously a swindler!"

  "Be careful what you wish for, or else go to Xian'an Temple outside the city to find a protective charm..."

  He, as a master, has gone through countless battles and seen many seniors with stronger martial arts skills and smarter minds die prematurely. He himself was able to survive, which had some element of luck, so he tends to believe in supernatural things for peace of mind.

  …………

  "Amitabha Buddha, the four donors, fate comes and goes, the poor monk's goal has been achieved, I will take my leave first." After walking for a while, Meng Qi joined his hands together.

  Cui Jinxiu said with a hint of disappointment: "I was planning to invite the Taoist priest to stay at our mansion for a while, and ask him in detail about the immortal's affairs."

  He cleared his throat and looked down at the ground: "At three o'clock in the morning, unless it's someone familiar, it's really not suitable to bring a guest in."

  He was reminding Cui Jinxiu's mansion of its rules.

  Since it was their first meeting, if she showed too much enthusiasm, she would easily be suspected. So Meng Qi didn't care about Cui Jinxiu's persuasion and after chanting a Buddhist mantra, lightly smiled and said: "If we are destined to meet again, I will definitely come back then. Please treat this poor monk to a meal at that time."

  At that time, I should have been investigating the connection between Cui Jinhua and Duan Mingcheng's disappearance.

  Having said that, he didn't wait for Cui Jinxiu's response and turned around to leave, turning into a nearby street.

  Looking at Meng Qi's back, Cui Jinxiu sighed: "Although Zhen Ding Fa Shi is young, he has a bit of the style of a high-ranking monk. If it were someone else, hearing that they could enter the city lord's mansion as a guest would definitely make them excited and forget their manners."

  "Brother Jinzhu, although it's said that monks don't speak nonsense, strange and mysterious things often appear in Buddhist scriptures. Don't take the stories of immortals he tells as true." Li Xinyu asked with some concern, for Master Zhending was shrouded in mystery, making one uneasy.

  Cui Jinxiu sneered: "Am I so easily deceived? Unless I see with my own eyes the gods summoning wind and rain, I won't truly believe it."

  "It's all right, it's all right." Li Xinyu let out a sigh of relief and continued with a smile: "Jinxiu sister, you're also at the age to get married, has Uncle Cui arranged a good match for you?"

  "Don't even think about it! My husband must be able to beat me, and also have elegant and humorous conversation..." Cui Jinxiu continued in one breath, but seeing Li Xinyu's teasing expression, she suddenly became both embarrassed and annoyed, her face turning bright red. "In short, I'll choose myself!"

  "You're the only daughter in your family, Uncle Cui treats you like a precious gem, he'll definitely agree." Taking into account Cui Jinxiu's identity, Li Xinyu didn't dare to continue joking and went along with her words.

  Cui Jinxiu suddenly froze, pursed her lips and said: "Actually, Father had already planned to arrange a marriage for me."

  "Oh, I wonder whose good son is so lucky?" The topic of conversation among the girls, Zhang Zongxian and He Bo couldn't get a word in edgewise, they could only proceed in silence, listening to Li Xinyu's inquiry.

  Cui Jinxiu said softly: "It's Brother Duan."

  "'Idle Concealment' Mr.'s son?" Li Xinyu asked in surprise, then furrowed her brow and said, "It's said that Duan young master is indulged in fine wine and gambling, likes to gather friends for drinking, extremely extravagant, but his martial arts skills are quite ordinary."

  Cui Jinxiu shook her head, with a complex expression: "I've seen Duanjia brother's moves before, his martial arts aren't as bad as the rumors say. I'm afraid he's on par with my brother... and besides, I always feel like there's some deeper meaning behind him doing those frivolous things..."

  Li Xinyu glanced at Cui Jinxiu, quietly pursed her lips, and thought to herself that perhaps Cui's feelings were secretly invested in Duan Mingcheng, which was why she felt this way.

  "This topic, Zhang Zongkui was quite interested and sighed: "Rumors are always exaggerated and untrue, I didn't expect Duan Da Shao Ye's martial arts to be so terrifying.""

  Cui Jinhua is hailed as the most promising young generation to unlock the secrets of the human body and become a master, while Duan Mingcheng can match him evenly in Cui Jinxiu's mouth, his strength is indeed extraordinary.

  In this regard, he believed in Cui Jinxiu's judgment. Firstly, her family background was profound and her vision was extremely high. Secondly, she would not intentionally belittle her own brother.

  "So it seems that Duan Da Shao Ye is dignified and handsome, with high martial arts skills, making him a good match. What's not to be satisfied with, Jin Xiu Mei Mei?" Li Xin Yu said with a smile.

  Cui Jinxiu lowered her head, looking at the tip of her shoes, her left hand pinching the corner of her red skirt, and said in a distant tone: "Brother Duan has gone missing, without any clues. Because of this, Uncle Duan and Father had a falling out."

  "What? Duan Da Shao Ye has gone missing?" Li Xin Yu and Zhang Zong Xian were shocked, that was the son of one of the seven great masters, "Mr. Xian Yin", and he had disappeared within Tian Ding City!

  After they got the treasure map, they traveled in secret and naturally didn't know about current events.

  …………

  On the rooftop of a large house, Meng Qi sat cross-legged, smiling as he watched the guards who had lost their people return to Jin Ancheng's mansion to report.

  "I'm afraid you won't send someone to follow me, otherwise in a city as big as Tiandicheng, it will take me several days to figure out where you live..." Meng Qi thought with a good mood, the information provided by Duan Xiangfei evaluated Jin Ancheng with eight words: "can yield and stretch, must revenge".

  Meng Qi was a bit worried, because he didn't have night vision clothes, and it would be easy to reveal his identity when doing reconnaissance. Especially since he had to pretend to be "Shen Hou", to see if he could lure out other gods - he didn't know the contact method, nor did he know where to make contact. If he wanted to complete the side quest, he could only use a stupid method.

  "Where can I borrow a set...?" Meng Qi thought about the solution, suddenly, his eyes lit up, because on the opposite rooftop, there was a guy wearing night clothes sneaking away into the distance.

  …………

  The man in black carefully made his way to the target courtyard, his heart burning with excitement. If this frame-up and murder were successful, no one would ever suspect him of being involved in the loss of the treasure again.

  "Go die in peace, your orphan... I will take good care of them for you..." Under the towel, his mouth corners slightly curled up, just about to fall into the courtyard.

  Suddenly, a severe pain came from the back of his brain, he was shocked and tried to turn his head, but he was powerless, his eyes went black, and he fainted completely.

  "It's the middle of the night and you're sending me a nightwalker's cloak, you're quite something, aren't you... There's still true love in this world..." Meng Qi muttered to himself as he tidied up the cloak, teasing the unconscious figure in front of him.

  Because he didn't know what this guy did, he didn't go all out and just knocked him unconscious with the back of his knife.
