Chapter 360: Being Tracked
After leaving the Start Seizing Tower, Qin Feng and his companion headed towards the Qin Residence.
On the way, they passed by the brothel called Fragrance Drift Pavilion again.
Inside the semi-open pavilion on the second floor, even though the young ladies werent intentionally trying to attract attention, they still managed to capture the hearts of the men passing by.
Indeed, deliberate coquetry seemed only vulgar, and it was the unintentional charm that truly captured the soul.
The owner of the Fragrance Drift Pavilion seemed to be a skilled player at this game!
Looking at these seductive young ladies, Qin Feng couldnt help but sigh, Its so cold, and yet these seafood sellers have to wear so little. Its not easy for them.
After glancing around a few times, he did not linger and continued walking. However, he noticed that there was one less set of footsteps beside him.
He turned around and looked around, only to see Xing Sheng standing there, not following him for a long time.
Qin Feng teased, You Black Charcoal Head, as a military man, dont you know that beauty is like a double-edged sword? You actually fell under the spell of a woman!
As per his expectation, Black Charcoal Head would surely stammer in defense.
However, the other person did not seem to hear him at all as he looked around with a serious expression on his face.
Qin Feng suddenly realized that something might have happened. He approached and asked, Whats wrong?
Xing Sheng replied, It seems like we are being followed.
Followed? Qin Feng was surprised. Looking back at the way they came, everything seemed normal with bright lights and busy streets, and he couldnt see anything unusual.
Have you found the person following us?
Xing Sheng shook his head, The persons strength should be above mine. If I hadnt been with the army all year round and had a particularly keen sense of murderous intent, I might not have been able to find him.
What should we do now? Qin Feng asked, at the same time thinking about who would be following him. Could it be those people who had targeted the Qin family before?
At that moment, Xing Sheng let out a soft exclamation, The killing intent is gone. Perhaps the person realized that they had been discovered and retreated. However, just to be safe, young master, you better stay within a foot of me.
Alright, Qin Feng nodded solemnly.
After the two of them left, the woman on the second floor of the Fragrance Drift Pavilion, who had been swinging on a swing, jumped down and went to a corner of the room.
After opening a drawer, she found a piece of white paper with Qin Fengs name written on it.
The woman picked up a nearby paintbrush and wrote a comment on the paper: Visited the brothel twice, lingered without leaving, quite lecherous.
After returning to the Qin residence, everything went smoothly.
Qin Feng sighed with relief. Luckily, he had brought Black Charcoal Head with him, otherwise, he might not have noticed if someone was following him.
Young master, in the future, whenever you go out, you must take either me or Lan Ningshuang with you. Xing Sheng seriously advised. At the same time, he planned to return to the Liu family and report this matter to the patriarch.
Okay, I understand. Qin Feng agreed.
After that, he thought about it and decided to tell his father and second brother about this incident.
The reason why he didnt tell his stepmother was so that she wouldnt worry.
Besides, his stepmother rarely left the Qin residence, so there wasnt much concern for her safety.
After all, his wife had basically reached the top of the martial world, and with her presence, who would dare to cause trouble in the Qin residence?
First, I will go and inform Father. After all, he lacks cultivation and is more vulnerable to danger compared to the second brother. With this realization, Qin Feng walked towards the main hall.
It was past dinner time, and his parents were nowhere to be seen in the lobby. Finally, he found his parents in the resting room, only his second mother was present.
Second mother, where did father go? Qin Feng inquired curiously.
In response, the second mother frowned slightly, After lunch, he said he wanted to go out and see if there were any business opportunities. But he hasnt returned yet. Fenger, do you think he might have gone out for some romantic affairs?
Uh, Qin Feng hesitated for a moment. Based on his understanding of Father, he should have the desire but lack the courage.
However, he still pretended to think and said, Second mother, you should trust Father. He is not that kind of person. But when he comes back, check carefully to see if there is a scent of rouge on him, just in case.
Fenger makes sense. The second mother nodded solemnly.
After Father returns, tell him that I need to see him. With these words, Qin Feng was about to turn around and leave.
But at that moment, as if he remembered something, he slapped his forehead and added, Oh, by the way, Second Mother, I heard from a friend that the smell of green tangerines can mask the smell of womens rouge. Father probably doesnt like green tangerines, right?
Outside of Imperial City, there was a winding river called the Nine-Bend River, which had nine bends and eighteen turns, so it was commonly called the Nine-Bend River.
This river was quite mysterious. Some claimed to have heard dragon roars emanating from it, while others witnessed supernatural phenomena in the water.
Strange rumors circulated, varied and confusing, making the Nine-Bend River more and more enigmatic.
However, one thing was universally acknowledged by the people of Imperial City: it was best to avoid approaching the Nine-Bend River unless absolutely necessary, as it was rumored to be inhabited by water ghosts.
However, there were always exceptions, such as someone who dared to fish by the river on such a dark night.
In the faint moonlight piercing through the clouds, the figure turned out to be an old man with white hair and a black beard.
It was the same person who had visited Qin Jianan earlier!
The fishing line fell into the water, and the surface of the lake remained calm, like a mirror.
Under the moonlight, it seemed as if fireflies were fluttering in the Nine Bend River.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes. The fishing line moved slightly, and just as he was about to lift the rod, there was a crisp sound of a twig breaking beside him.
It was not loud, but it disturbed the presence in the river. The line returned to silence.
Although the old man didnt turn his head, he knew who the intruder was none other than his disciple, North Ghost Head.
You have a faint smell of blood on you. Did you just kill someone?
I thought that after so many days of silence, these guys should be honest. But today, there are still people who dont know their place. Qin Jianan said calmly.
What brings you to this old man?
My son will visit the Demon Slaying Department tomorrow. I hope the master can take care of him. Qin Jianan said respectfully.
The scholar or the one practicing knife skills?
The former.
The old man nodded slightly. He vaguely remembered the handsome young man from the Qin family who passed by outside.
Why is he coming?
Upon hearing this, Qin Jianan briefly explained the matter of gunpowder.
After listening, the old mans fishing rod trembled, causing ripples on the surface of the lake. The Qin family has two outstanding talents; this matter has been noted by this old man.
Thank you, Master.
As the sky darkened, Qin Jianan left the Nine Bend River and headed toward the Qin residence.
On the way, he happened to pass a vendor on the street who was selling green oranges, thinking of the bloody smell the old man mentioned.
After hesitating for a moment, he bought a few green oranges and squeezed some juice to smear on himself.
In fact, he was aware that the faint smell of blood on his body would not be detected by his wifes nose. However, it was always good to be prepared.
After all, you cant let your wife worry.
