Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

Upon seeing this, the clerk quickly led Lin Feng into the yamen.

Qian Wenshun, the clerk of Qinghe County, soon arrived at the county government office.

The advisor, Qian Wenshun, had a small mustache and small eyes, and looked quite shrewd.

After the clerk Qian Wenshun arrived, he carefully examined the head and then asked if there was any evidence to prove that the person was Wang Shanxiong.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and realized that he did have a steel knife at home that he had found from Wang Shanxiong.

He also had a Golden Bell Cover manual, which he obtained from Wang Shanxiong.

However, Wang Shanxiong only recently obtained this manual, so it's unclear whether it can be considered evidence.

Let's take it out and try it out first.

Lin Feng took out the Golden Bell Cover manual from his pocket and handed it to the advisor.

The advisor glanced at the manual and immediately stuffed it into his pocket.

what's the situation?

They just took it away like that.

I thought they really wanted evidence, but it turns out they just wanted to solicit bribes.

That's probably it. Take it if you want, I've already learned it anyway.

Sure enough, after receiving the manual, the clerk said there was no problem and left the county office.

A short while later, the county magistrate, dressed in official robes, arrived at the county government office with a middle-aged man in a brocade robe.

This middle-aged man is Li, a well-known wealthy man in the city.

He and the county magistrate were brothers, and a few months ago his daughter was murdered by Wang Shanxiong.

He had met Wang Shanxiong once before, and he came here this time to help verify his identity.

The man glanced at the head Lin Feng had brought and immediately recognized it as Wang Shanxiong.

Master Li immediately lost his composure. He looked up to the sky and cried out, "Cuihua, did you see that? The notorious flower thief Wang Shanxiong has been brought to justice!"

This truly shows that Heaven has eyes!

The county magistrate advised Master Li and then instructed his clerk to fetch the silver.

Li Yuanwai's servants brought over a tray with ten silver ingots on it.

Master Li grasped Lin Feng's hand, "Thank you, young hero, for avenging my daughter. Please accept this silver."

Lin Feng declined, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but killing a notorious womanizer like Wang Shanxiong is a duty of us martial artists, not something I do for money. Please take back the silver."

Master Li was a man of great stature; he could tell at a glance that Lin Feng was only pretending to decline.

If you truly don't care about the money, you should simply leave quietly and conceal your merit and fame. Why cut off someone's head and go to the government office to collect the reward?

Master Li said, "Young hero, you truly have a chivalrous heart."

But young hero, you will definitely need some silver to cover your travel expenses when you travel the world.

Please accept this silver, young hero; consider it a gesture of friendship.

"Since you say so, sir, then I will accept it."

"May I ask your honorable surname, young hero?"

"My surname is Lin."

"If Young Master Lin intends to stay in the county town for a few more days, why not come and stay at my residence for a couple of days, so that I can fulfill my duty as a host?"

"I am deeply honored to receive your kind invitation, Master Lin."

My planned stay in the county town is not long; I will be leaving today.

I'm afraid I won't be able to visit your home in person, but I will certainly pay you a visit in person if the opportunity arises in the future.

Master Li clasped his hands and said, "If you ever pass through this place, young hero, please make sure I, Master Li, do my best to be a good host."

"sure."

At this time, the clerk also brought two thousand taels of silver, totaling twenty silver ingots.

Lin Feng carried the silver ingot on his back and left the county government office with a smug look on his face.

Unexpectedly, receiving the reward money went so smoothly. We have to thank that Master Li; otherwise, there would probably have been some twists and turns.

Lin Feng had just walked out of the county government office.

Qian Wenshun, the county clerk, appeared not far behind Lin Feng.

He pointed at Lin Feng and said to a middle-aged man next to him, "This is the kid. He took the head of the notorious womanizer Wang Shanxiong and received a reward of two thousand taels of silver from the county government."

Master Li also gave him an additional five hundred taels.

Follow him, and rob him as soon as he leaves the city.

The man next to him was none other than Lone Wolf Li Jingfeng, the leader of the Wolf Gang, the second largest gang in the county.

Li Jingfeng frowned and said, "Since this person was able to kill a master like Wang Shanxiong, he is probably not someone to be trifled with."

They are probably disciples from a sect who came down from the mountain for training.

Even if I were to face Wang Shanxiong, it would be a 50/50 chance; I'm not guaranteed I could defeat him.

A mocking smile appeared on Qian Wenshun's face. "What sect disciple? He's just a lucky poor kid."

His clothes and weapons were all newly bought, all to bolster his prestige.

This kid has absolutely no experience in the ways of the world; he's either a farmer or a hunter.

Wang Shanxiong was severely injured by the general when he last appeared.

This kid was probably just lucky to run into Wang Shanxiong, who was seriously injured and could not be cured.

Or perhaps Wang Shanxiong's body was simply discovered somewhere.

Lone Wolf Li Jingfeng's eyes lit up. "Master, how did you figure that out?"

The advisor, Qian Wenshun, held up two fingers, pointed to his eyes, and said, "I've seen countless people with these eyes; I can't be wrong."

You could try asking at the blacksmith's shop and the clothing store; his outfit was probably bought in the county town.

Qian Wenshun then pointed to his nose and said, "My nose is also very accurate at smelling people; I can tell what kind of person someone is."

This man reeks of poverty; he's definitely not someone of high status.

Lone Wolf Li Jingfeng smiled and said, "Then I'll send someone to keep a close eye on him."

The advisor, Qian Wenshun, waved his folding fan and turned to leave, leaving behind the words, "The usual rule: split the profits fifty-fifty after we succeed."

"Definitely!" Lone Wolf Li Jingfeng replied, then told two of his men to follow Lin Feng closely, and sent two more men to the clothing store and blacksmith shop to inquire.

Lin Feng bought a bag of jujube flower cakes for the children and then went to the flea market in the city to see if he could buy the secret recipe.

Still found nothing.

Lin Feng wanted to go to the blacksmith shop and ask the shopkeeper if he knew where to buy the secret manual.

On his way to the blacksmith's shop, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him from behind.

Since Lin Feng broke through to the Intent level with his Beast Hunting Fist, his five senses have become as sharp as those of a wild beast.

He glanced back, but none of the pedestrians behind him or the roadside vendors were looking at him.

Lin Feng looked closely and found two people behind him who knew martial arts. Their attribute panels showed the same martial art: Wolf Fang Wind-Breaking Blade.

Lin Feng turned a corner and looked back, seeing that the two people were no longer following him.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly noticed that the attribute panels of the other two people behind him also showed the Wolf Fang Wind-Breaking Blade martial art.

Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. Was this a coincidence, or was a group of people following him?

He walked to the blacksmith's shop and looked inside.

Inside the blacksmith's shop, two people were talking to the shopkeeper.

Lin Feng frowned upon seeing these two, as both of them actually possessed the Wolf Fang Wind-Breaking Blade on their attribute panels.

This is no coincidence.

Lin Feng listened intently to the conversation between the three.

The two men asked, "Shopkeeper, have you opened for business today? Have you sold any weapons?"

The blacksmith shopkeeper seemed quite afraid of the two men. "Brothers from the Wolf Gang, it doesn't seem like it's time to collect protection money yet?"

The taller man, who seemed to be the leader, said, "We're not collecting protection money today, we're just asking around."

The shopkeeper smiled broadly, "Thanks to the two brothers, we sold a sword and a knife today, which means we broke even."

The man then asked, "Does that sword still have an iron scabbard with brass patterns on it?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback. "How did you know?"

The two members of the Wolf Gang exchanged a glance. "Don't worry about how we know. Just forget about it."

The shopkeeper bowed repeatedly, saying, "I understand, I understand."

The two left after saying a few words.

Lin Feng heard the entire conversation between the three of them and felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone, and even his blood seemed to freeze.

I'm being watched. Is last night's nightmare about to come true?
