CH 57.1

A few days later, the rumours about the Jiangnan Escort Bureau became more and more fierce. Both Jianghu people and ordinary people are interested in the secret treasure that indirectly caused so many deaths.

Some people said that it was the clue to the treasure of the previous dynasty, some people guessed that it was material to cast a mysterious weapon, and some people thought that it contained peerless martial skills, which could make someone invincible once practised. No matter what it turned out to be, it was undoubtedly a terrible temptation for most people.

It is said that Yan Feichi, who holds such a secret treasure, has become the target that countless people are eager to find. People have begun to investigate his whereabouts everywhere. It is only a matter of time till they find AnYang City.

Yan Feichi can’t be more clear about this.

He wanted to persuade Yuan Buwei to leave Anyang Fucheng earlier, or at least to not use his face to swagger around. He was even willing to reveal the secret treasure’s hiding place. As long as Yuan Buwei could release him. It was a pity that Yuan Buwei did not hesitate to refuse him.

He became even more nasty.

This devil actually tried to take him out at a critical moment, throw him out and run away

Yan Feichi is really scared.

He’s still young, he doesn’t want to die

After running away for days, he got rid of the pursuit of Tianyi Pavilion, and fell into the hands of “Chi Jianxue”, who was more mysterious and cruel than Tianyi Pavilion, and was repeatedly used. He endured so hard for so long, and did so much, perhaps only to die a worthless death in the future

Resentment and fear grow violently in the heart at the same time. With the increasing number of Jianghu people in AnYang recently, even the remote tenth alley is frequented by many people. His resentment and fear will become stronger;

Coupled with Yuan Buwei’s attitude of preparing to throw him out at any time…

These few days, Yan Feichi was tortured by panic.

As a result, people in the neighbourhood can always see that the youngest Chi gongzi, who usually doesn’t like to go out, has stood at the gate of the backyard from time to time, to look out.

Moreover, he seemed to be particularly concerned about Chi gongzi who often sat in front of the shop basking in the sun. From time to time cast his gaze on the other’s weak, pale, bloodless face, with an undisguised expression of anxiety and worry.

Could it be that this youngest Chi gongzi was “persuaded” by everyone, finally came to his senses, and began to learn to care about his brother?

However, he was a bit overly concerned.

Whenever a strange Jianghu person with a sword passes by the shop, the youngest Chi gongzi will be like a rabbit who was frightened by the breeze.

Although he did not jump up from the ground, the bright eyes on the dark and featureless face, would be full of tension, anxiety, and fear, as if someone would come in and kill their brothers at any time.

Maybe this is also the after effect of the fire?

Yan Feichi’s eccentric behaviour really attracted many curious and confused gazes.

Although he knew it was wrong, he couldn’t settle down to stay in the backyard. He was always worried about his face that Yuan Buwei “borrowed” would be recognized, and then he will lose his life in a muddle.

In Yan Feichi’s nervousness and fear, another day passed.

The night spread all over the sky, and the thin clouds covered the stars and the moon like veils. Only a little moonlight shone down like mercury.

There was silence in tenth alley.

The newly opened snack shop is not conspicuous in the night, but there are several figures approaching from the alley.

These people are slender and thin, their movements are as flexible as monkeys. They climbed up the big tree next to the snack shop in two or three movements,  climbed up along the tree, and looked into the dark snack shop.

“Is it here?”

“Yes, it is.”

This is obviously a premeditated move.

Since Yuan Buwei moved here, he has entered the gaze of many scheming people. Although he seems like a gong zi in dire straits, he is a fat sheep in the eyes of others.

At this time, these people looked at each other and immediately saw the greed in others’ eyes.

“A few foreigners, who can open such a big shop immediately, bought several hundred years old ginseng just to keep the little mute healthy. This is not a common luxury, enough for us to live well for a while.”

What’s more, they have already thoroughly observed this place these days. A sick man, a bad old man, and a small mute are nothing to be afraid of.

One went to find their targets, two people were left to stand guard, and the other one, like a gibbon, swung gently from the edge of a branch. With two or three inferior qigong skills, he jumped over the courtyard wall of the snack shop silently.

The faint moonlight reflected the man’s elongated horse face with a complacent smile.

Everything seemed to go smoothly as they expected. The yard remained silent, and no one noticed his movements. The man jumped into the courtyard along the wall and groped forward with the faint moonlight.

Unexpectedly, just one step away from success, his raised leg suddenly kicked something, making a “thump” sound.

“What is this?”

The man’s toes were almost swollen from kicking it. He lowered his head impatiently, and his face immediately changed drastically, as if it wasn’t his toes that were swollen just now, but his tongue that couldn’t move properly.

“Coffin, coffin, coffin!”

The clouds scattered a little, and the moonlight faintly illuminated. A coffin with an indistinct blood pattern was lying quietly in the yard.

Right in front of him.

The man’s legs became weak and he could not stand any longer. His body collapsed on the coffin and knocked the lid of the coffin which was not closed tightly, open. There was another noise.

At that moment, there was a sound coming out of the coffin. In the crack that was knocked open, a blackened hand crawled out, and its fingers grasped the coffin side. It seemed that the thing in the coffin would climb out the next moment.

The man’s eyes became bigger and bigger, and he could not be frightened any more:

“Ah, moving corpse!”

Yan Feichi was afraid all day long, and was always thinking that he would be found and killed in the next moment, so much so that he could not sleep soundly.

However, Yuan Buwei is very happy. In addition to eating snacks and basking in the sun all day long, there is a tool man Yan Feichi to order around, he has the imposing air of a rich slave owner. He and An Yan even have their own wings in the backyard.

As for Yan Feichi, since there are so many coffin’s in the coffin shop, to make the most of what they had, he was randomly given one to use. 

Yan Feichi couldn’t resist and gradually got used to it.

However, after getting used to it for a few days, the news of the secret treasure came out. Recently, he was frightened, combined with sleeping in a dark coffin as well. He could not help waking up in the middle of the night and dreaming of his various death scenarios.

That night, he had dreamed intricate of his death after being found. He had waken up in cold sweat when he heard slight footsteps. He could even hear it coming from outside the courtyard.

Someone is coming!

Yan Feichi, who was still a little confused, woke up suddenly, all kinds of horrible scenes in his dreams floated in his head. Subconsciously holding his breath, his eyes widened.

Many thoughts whirled in Yan Feichi’s mind.

It seems that he has been exposed. Someone came for him. Is it Tianyi Pavilion or …

No, this person only dares to come at night, sneaking around stealthily, and their technique is shabby. It should not be the style of those major powers and big sects. Maybe it’s just some lucky guy who recognized him in the Jianghu

Yan Feichi didn’t need to meet face to face, and could tell that this man’s skill was not worth mentioning. With his strength at his peak, he could kill him with a backhand.

But at this time, his real qi was sealed, his limbs were weak, and his movements were much slower than ordinary people. Even a weak scholar with a knife could easily kill him

With this thought, there was a sudden “thump” outside the coffin. It was obvious that the man found the coffin.

Yan Feichi’s heart suddenly lifted up, and the string of his mind was completely tense.

If this man finds him, he can’t survive.

At this time, he forgot his usual resentment against Yuan Buwei, and hoped that the other party would come quickly to solve the unexpected visitor.

But there was no movement in the yard.

Yan Feichi’s heart sank rapidly.

He had seen An Yan attack, and knew that he was a great master. Even he could hear the movement, so it’s impossible for the other side to fail to hear it. Could it be that he made a mistake? Perhaps there was more than one person who came this time, and they had already been ambushed and couldn’t even take care of themselves. Or perhaps those two people didn’t care about his life, so they didn’t bother to come.

Yan Feichi was so anxious that he could not help raising his hand to touch the coffin wall, and raising the upper half of his body.

The coffin seemed to be pushed open at once, a half-foot-wide gap slid open, and a figure fell from above, blocking all the light in front of Yan Feichi’s eyes.

In his eyes, the evil figure seemed extremely ferocious.

No, no, I don’t want to die!
