Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Seventy-Six: Marks

Han Yi stood at the alley entrance for a long time, his lips pressed tightly together, as if he was thinking about something.

"Young Han, have you offended someone?" Bai Sanren sighed. "I think that man in black just now seemed to be after you."

"To be honest, senior, I'm new to An'yan City and don't know many people. Besides..." Han Yi came to his senses and said with a wry smile, "I'm not an inner disciple yet, so it's impossible for me to go out of my way to provoke others..."

"That's hard to say. Although you have a gentle nature, there might be people who are jealous of your good looks and talent," Bai Sanren said leisurely. "I've experienced this kind of thing when I was young..." Bai Sanren didn't care that Han Yi had concealed his early Blood Refining stage cultivation.

When Bai Sanren was the same age as Han Yi, he had already entered the late stage of Blood Refinement. Han Yi was only in the early stage of Blood Refinement. He was considered talented, but not much.

Bai Sanren's words made Han Yi both laugh and cry: "No, no, my charm isn't that great..."

The person who ordered the assassination attempt on me last time hasn't been found yet, and now, someone else is secretly watching me...

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Han Yi's mind.

He asked, "Senior, have you ever heard the saying, 'The Shadow Master walks alone, a moment is eternity'?"

"'The Shadow Walker walks alone, a fleeting moment is eternal'?"

"Let me think..." Bai Sanren rubbed his temples and paced back and forth, saying, "I think I've heard this phrase before..."

He paced around a few times, then hesitated before saying, "It sounds like the slogan of an assassination organization, but I can't quite put my finger on it..."

"How about this, Han lad, I'll find out for you another day, how about it?"

"Thank you!" Han Yi bowed respectfully.

After this incident, the group lost interest in strolling along the food street and quickly passed through the bustling area.

Chirp, chirp, chirp

Yuqingfang, in front of Fulinlou, the street here is much quieter than the previous snack street, and you can hear the chirping of insects again.

"Senior, please wait a moment. I'll go pack my luggage and then go to the inn to book a few superior rooms for you."

Since someone has his eye on him, and the wilderness is too dangerous, he has no choice but to move to another place in Anyan City. He can also find an inn for Bai Sanren and Qianxue.

He remembered that there was a nice inn near Fulinlou.

Qianxue and Bai Sanren exchanged a glance. "Young Han, there's no need to find us an inn. We have a place to stay in the city," Bai Sanren said with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Yi, I think you should come and live with us. It's very safe where we are!"

Qianxue smiled sweetly.

I was overthinking it. Bai Sanren has been operating in Anyan City for many years, and Qianxue isn't from an ordinary family. How could she not have a place to live in the city...?

Han Yi shook his head inwardly. It seemed that too much had happened today, and he was a little out of sorts.

"But this..."

Han Yi hesitated for a moment. Although he had saved Qianxue today, the Xuan Yin Stone and the secrets that Bai Sanren had told him were enough to repay this debt of gratitude.

But if I go to stay at their place again today, wouldn't I be incurring another favor...?

"Hmm, Qianxue is right. Anyway, that courtyard is very big, and no one lives there usually. It can accommodate you!"

"Hurry up and pack your bags, stop dawdling!"

Bai Sanren pretended to be impatient and said loudly.

Han Yi's eyes were sharp as he looked at the concern on Bai Sanren and Qianxue's faces, and his heart warmed.

But isn't that what human relationships are all about? If you're in trouble, I'll help you; if I'm in trouble, will you help me?

Han Yi immediately felt relieved.

"In that case, I will trouble you two..." he said sincerely, bowing.

"What are you still babbling about? Go on!" Qianxue made a face at him in annoyance.

"Young Master Han, your arrival is just in time. Young Master Li sent another letter through someone today."

As soon as he entered, the manager of Fulinlou handed Han Yi a letter from Li Feng. Han Yi didn't pay much attention to it, took it casually, and put it in his pocket. He planned to read it after he got to Bai Sanren's place and settled in.

After several moves, Han Yi didn't have much luggage. He carried valuables like the small jade Buddha, the blood plum handkerchief, and silver notes with him. He only left a few clothes in his room. He packed them up smoothly and quickly, making a bundle in no time.

We're all packed, let's go!

As Han Yi stepped out the door, he caught a glimpse of what looked like a child's scribbles on the white wall next to the door frame.

Wait, is that Akyuu's mark?

He turned his head and examined it closely. Yes, it was indeed the exclusive symbol he and A Qiu had agreed upon. After all, no one in the world knew what 'SOS' meant!

Did A-Qiu come looking for me?

What happened this time?

Could it be related to the person secretly watching me tonight? Han Yi also asked A Qiu to inquire about the meaning of 'The Shadow Master walks alone, a moment of eternity'.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go! Why are you acting so silly tonight?"

Qianxue stood on the street, pouting, and called out.

"Alright, let's go!"

Regardless of what happened to A Qiu, I'll find some time tomorrow to go to the dilapidated temple outside the city and see what happened.

Han Yi pondered to himself.

Heyuefang

After being checked by several guards, Han Yi, led by Bai Sanren and Qianxue, arrived at Heyuefang in the inner city.

This area is located in the central part of Anyan City, and many wealthy families live here, including the Huang family and the Wang family.

Therefore, constables and officials patrol the streets morning and evening to check suspicious persons to ensure the stability of Heyue Ward. It is considered the safest of all the wards open to the public in Anyan City.

After turning a few corners along the street, Han Yi and his two companions arrived at a residential area.

The ground here is made of bluestone bricks, and there is a row of bamboo poles on both sides of the street with lanterns hanging on them. From time to time, someone will go to change the candles inside. The whole alley is not dark, but rather has some light.

"Bai Family Courtyard." Han Yi read out the plaque under the eaves by the light.

Squeak

Bai Sanren pushed open the door.

Although this place is not a grand mansion or the residence of a wealthy and powerful family, the vermilion gate, gray roof and white walls reveal an exquisite courtyard house inside.

This courtyard house was larger than the small house Han Yi had lived in before. There were some training equipment in the courtyard, and a well in the corner. The courtyard was fully equipped with a north house, a south house, a kitchen on the west side, and servants' rooms on the east side.
