My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 94 Chase

Zuo Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he stared wide-eyed. But he found that the other person had already disappeared.

"Never mind, it's not important."

"The most urgent task is to quickly demonstrate sincerity."

That's why he came to the checkpoint.

He recognized Cheng Yi. Zhang Ye was also pulled onto the boat by him, and together with Xing Laoliu's apprentice, they were stationed at Anding Gate in the south of the city.

"Let's not complicate things further."

My cheap senior brother is a tough nut to crack.

Turning around, he suddenly paused, looking at Xing Laoliu with an unfriendly expression: "You said that as long as it's not bone-shaving and face-changing, you guys can tell the difference from other disguise techniques?"

“Yes.” The man with the goatee looked puzzled.

Ah……

……

"What, did you run into someone you know, Master Zuo?" Zhuo Rufeng quietly approached, a playful look on his face.

Zuo Sheng glared at the bewildered Xing Laoliu, then turned to glance at Zhuo Rufeng: "Don't you know whether he's someone I know or not?"

In order to deal with him, the Zhuo family father and son did a lot of investigation into his interpersonal relationships.

"That's hard to say. What if it's someone you know from Qingshan County?" Zhuo Rufeng said meaningfully, "Just like that young Taoist boy Chengming."

Zuo Sheng's expression changed.

Chengming came to Nanyang traveling with the Zuo family's car team.

If it weren't for my master's intervention, I would definitely have been implicated.

"Should I remind the envoy to thoroughly investigate Chengming's companions?" Zhuo Rufeng's eyes were filled with malice.

Zuo Sheng's face immediately darkened. He turned and stormed off.

"Hehe..." Zhuo Rufeng couldn't help but laugh.

"Was that person really alright?" Zhuo Rufeng glanced at Xing Laoliu.

"No...no, I don't think so." Xing Laoliu was losing confidence because of the two of them.

"Is there a problem or not?!" Zhuo Rufeng asked impatiently.

"Is there... or not?" Xing Laoliu asked tentatively.

"Are you asking me, or am I asking you?!"

"That means no!"

"Hmph!" Zhuo Rufeng glared at Xing Laoliu.

"Perhaps we should really investigate Chengming's associates," Zhuo Rufeng said thoughtfully.

Severe torture can instill problems even in those who are innocent. A little digging into Zuo Sheng's background will be enough to torment this master and apprentice! Zhuo Rufeng's eyes lit up.

“Du Huaibai and Miao Jin come from a prominent family in Nanyang, so they cannot be touched.”

"Zhang Ye? What a lucky bastard."

"There also seems to be a silver-booted guard driving a carriage, huh..."

"It's him!" Zhuo Rufeng made up his mind and looked at Zuo Sheng again with a mocking expression.

Once you're a prisoner, see how I deal with you.

Oh right, and that person from earlier too. Zhuo Rufeng looked at the figure that had disappeared into the distance.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "Never mind, he's just an ordinary scholar."

……

Chen Mu strolled leisurely along the official road.

As soon as he felt the gaze behind him disappear, he immediately took off running.

That was terrifying! He almost knocked that old man over.

"It's still the skill level that matters."

Chen Mu looked at the gray wall.

Transformation Technique: 63/10000/Second Tier;

"It turns out that it can not only fix face shape, but also avoid the need for bone structure analysis."

Previously, he could only change his appearance for one hour, and he had to revert to his original appearance to rest in between before continuing.

But once he enters the second stage, as long as his face shape is fixed, he can maintain it without changing it.

It's truly an unexpected surprise that we've managed to evade Xing Laoliu's investigation.

"The art of shapeshifting has great potential."

Who knows, he might even be able to transform into a man of a thousand faces in the future.

……

With hurried steps, Chen Mu headed straight for the Lanhe Ferry Crossing on the Jinshui River.

He needed to go there to catch a passenger boat and get to Lijiang Weicheng as soon as possible. It was only a dozen miles away, and at Chen Mu's pace, the ferry crossing soon came into view.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scholar, you really have something wrong with you!" A voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Chen Mu turned his head and saw a young man dressed in black with a jade belt. He seemed to have seen him at the Jinghong Gang's checkpoint.

"Is the young master talking about me?" Chen Mu asked, puzzled.

“Ordinary scholars don’t have your skills.” Zhuo Rufeng’s eyes lit up.

A scholar, or a scholar who knows martial arts?
"You're not from Qingshan County either, are you?" Zhuo Rufeng suddenly asked.

"I am from Liangpu County, not..."

"No, no, no, you are from Qingshan County!" Zhuo Rufeng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Even if you aren't, you are!"

"Yes, that's right. And your name is Chen Mu, and you and Zuo Sheng are close friends."

"No, that's not all. There's also Zhang Ye. You and Zhang Ye are good friends too!"

"He was having a very lively chat with the young Taoist priest Chengming!"

"Yes, yes, everything makes sense now!"

"My name is Chen Jia, not..." Chen Mu couldn't help but try to explain, but he was interrupted before he could finish.

"You're all in cahoots!" Zhuo Rufeng shouted, pointing at Chen Mu. Then he spread his hands, looked up at the sky, and said excitedly and wildly, "Why can't we find the murderer after searching the whole city?"

"Because there was a traitor among us!"

"Zuo Sheng is the traitor! Hahaha!" Zhuo Rufeng grinned and laughed heartily.

"I come from Liangpu County, not Qingshan..." Chen Mu said helplessly, but was interrupted again.

"And there's more." Zhuo Rufeng put one hand on his hip, pointed the other to the sky, and paced back and forth.

"Zuo Sheng and Zhang Ye's sudden deployment to guard the checkpoint wasn't to arrest anyone, but to secretly release people!"

"You, Chen Mu, who was released from the city, are proof of that!"

"I'm really not Chen..." Chen Mu looked aggrieved as she tried to persuade him.

"I'm a fucking genius!"

"Jin Wuduan is protecting a traitor, and Zuo Sheng is releasing a criminal—they're dead! You two, master and disciple, are doomed! Hahaha..."

At this point, Zhuo Rufeng suddenly stopped, turned his head to look fiercely at Chen Mu, and slowly curled his lips into a sinister smile full of excitement: "You will cooperate with me, right?"

Chen Mu opened his mouth.

"It's a pity you made the wrong choice." Zhuo Rufeng said, his face full of disappointment.

Chen Mu: “…”

"I'm sorry, I really am Chen Jia," Chen Mu said earnestly, suppressing his impulse.

Zhuo Rufeng chuckled: "Who cares?"

"Don't blame me, I just want to catch the murderer."

"Is it really okay for you to distort the truth like this?" Chen Mu sighed.

"Unwilling? Keep that to yourself and tell the King of the Underworld," Zhuo Rufeng said calmly.

“Someone once told me that the world was a dangerous place, but I didn’t believe it.” Chen Mu lowered his head in disappointment.

"But as it turns out, I have no intention of harming anyone, but people have intentions of harming me," he murmured, looking down.

“The world is a dangerous place, there’s not a single good person here!” He looked up at Zhuo Rufeng.

“The world only treats me with malice, so I can only retaliate with a sharp knife.” He stepped towards Zhuo Rufeng.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhuo Rufeng frowned.

“Killing bad people is the way to protect good people.” Chen Mu suddenly had a realization: “Killing is to protect life, cutting off karma is not about killing people… I see.”

Zhuo Rufeng curled his lip: "I didn't expect him to be a lunatic."

"Alright, just come with me obediently, and you'll suffer less..."

puff!
A burst of red mist suddenly exploded between Zhuo Rufeng's mouth and nose.

Zhuo Rufeng felt a sudden chill run down his spine and immediately held his breath before lunging backward.

Even so, I still felt dizzy.

But he just took a step back.

Chi!
A gray sword tip pierced through his chest.

Zhuo Rufeng stared in disbelief at the tip of the sword in his chest.

With difficulty, he turned around and saw that Chen Mu had already calmly come to his side.

"you……"

"You're right, I am Chen Mu."

Zhuo Rufeng: "..."
