Demon hunter’s Cooking Manual -
Chapter 1315 - 44: Act! _2
"Alright, Master."
"Please get in the carriage."
"We will set off right away."
The close attendant immediately assisted Xu Dashan into the carriage, then turned to drive it towards the dock. However, the attendant's seemingly delighted expression looked a bit stiff.
Especially his eyes, which kept looking around, as if searching for someone.
When he didn't find his target, a slight sweat appeared on his forehead.
Could it be!
A rather unpleasant guess appeared in his mind.
Jason, hidden nearby, observed all of this, but did not reveal himself.
Xu Dashan was obviously doing this on purpose.
It was clear that with the revelation of Cui Long's whereabouts, Xu Dashan had already deduced there was a traitor lurking around him and had identified who that traitor was.
'Passing false information, is it?'
Jason already had a rough idea of what Xu Dashan planned to do.
Once aboard, Xu Dashan would subtly inform this attendant that there was a secret force of 'Great Dragon Head' King Cui Long in Mountain City. Then, the next time the ship resupplied, this information would certainly be passed on by the attendant.
Would those people believe it?
They would.
Jason was quite sure.
Given the reputation King Cui Long had built over the years, those guys would certainly believe it.
However, probing was inevitable.
And that was the tricky part.
How would Xu Dashan deal with these tests?
Jason pondered and shook his head.
From their recent parting words, it seemed Xu Dashan himself was not very confident and would take one step at a time, but Jason believed Xu Dashan would give it his all.
If only for Cui Long.
The loyalty and righteousness exhibited by the other party had long surpassed the usual scope.
Especially towards King Cui Long, it was a mixture of deeply personal emotions.
There was gratitude and a sense of repayment.
'A decent person.'
Jason assessed.
And facing such a decent person, if he could lend a helping hand, Jason wouldn't mind.
It wasn't because this would better help him gain more 'Secret Medicine' from Cui Long.
Nor was it because with Xu Dashan's character for repaying kindness, even if Jason didn't step forward, Xu Dashan himself would beg Cui Long.
He just wanted to help out on a whim.
In the next moment, he took out his ice hockey mask.
At the dock, Xu Dashan's attendant quickly arranged everything, but much to his anxiety, those experts from the main hall were nowhere to be seen.
'Could it be that King Cui Long really has a team arranged here?'
The attendant speculated.
When he reported Cui Long appearing in 'Mountain City', he had more than once wondered why, among so many territories controlled by the Si Hai Bang, Cui Long came not to those, but to 'Mountain City'.
Could it just be because of the trust in Xu Dashan?
He didn't believe that.
Because none of the other hidden leaders were anything less than Xu Dashan.
Simply put, none of these hidden leaders could be bribed, they could only be monitored secretly.
But he believed the observers had not been exposed.
He was the best example.
If he had been exposed, how could Cui Long still come?
So back then, he jokingly thought, could it be that the 'Great Dragon Head' had other arrangements.
Of course, he dared not write that in the secret letter.
But who knew, it might actually be true!
'What to do?'
'What should I do?'
As the attendant pondered, suddenly, his neck tightened, and before he could call out, he was lifted up as if he was flying in the clouds.
When he came to his senses, he was already standing on the ship.
In front of him was the person he had been watching, Red Fragrance Alley's old master Xu Dashan.
At this moment, Xu Dashan stood calmly at the bow of the ship.
"Master..."
"Master Xu, he has no problem, he didn't leave a mark earlier, he's not the traitor we're looking for."
A gloomy voice spoke from behind, and the sweat immediately flowed from the attendant.
Indeed, he was just about to leave a mark, but Xu Dashan's earlier words deterred him.
Now he had narrowly escaped disaster...Wait!
'Xu Dashan was deliberately testing me!'
This thought arose, and sweat covered not just his forehead but also his back.
"That's good."
Xu Dashan nonchalantly nodded.
But within, he was greatly moved.
The person before him wore a mask, but that silhouette was clearly Master Mu Bai.
As for why Mu Bai appeared here.
Xu Dashan was well aware.
The plan needed to be more complete and smooth.
A commonplace collaborator, Red Fragrance Alley had nurtured countless similar Guest Elders, but at the crucial moment, they all backed down, leaving only Master Mu.
This Master Mu not only agreed.
But also spared no effort in helping.
What a loyal and righteous person!
Xu Dashan's excitement could not be expressed with words, he only wished to sit and drink with Jason.
However, he knew, it couldn't be done.
At least not now.
"Master Xu, those people, including the Zhao brothers, have been dealt with."
Jason said again.
The accompanying attendant was greatly shocked.
The Zhao brothers are dead?
Such two experts, just died like that?
What kind of powerful secret force does Cui Long secretly harbor?
The shock in his heart made this attendant tightly clench his teeth, keeping his head down, showing a fearful demeanor.
He could not leak information.
If leaked, it meant death.
But he didn't know that Xu Dashan had already identified the traitor among them.
This wasn't difficult.
After all, not many people knew about the young lady's arrival in 'Mountain City'.
"Excellent, those traitors deserve to die!"
"Leave the finishing matters to you all!"
"And!"
"Make sure to protect the young lady well!"
Xu Dashan spoke fiercely at first, then instructed.
"Yes, Master Xu."
The somber voice in his ears dropped, and the hand gripping the back of his neck left, releasing his collar, allowing his breath to ease.
Yet as the wind blew past, he felt cold.
Inside, he was cold too.
However, the attendant did not slacken.
"Master, just now, that was?"
The attendant, looking shaken, cautiously probed.
"It's the Dark Dragon Guard secretly cultivated by 'Big Dragon Head', although few in number, each is genuinely a master. This time 'Big Dragon Head' faced an accident, and they all activated and gathered around the young lady."
"Hm!"
"The Hall of Law Enforcement is no match against Dark Dragon Guard, like an ant trying to stop a chariot, ignorant of the situation."
Xu Dashan bullshitted extensively.
But the attendant in front believed without doubt.
After all, being Xu Dashan's close attendant, besides being smart, he also possessed good martial skills, able to fight two ordinary 'muscular' Martial Artists.
Yet moments ago, he had no chance to resist.
He didn't even notice how the opponent appeared.
What does this indicate?
Indicates that the opponent is not only strong, but skilled in stealth and disguise martial arts.
What kind of martial skills lean towards stealth and disguise?
The answer is obvious!
Assassination!
Thinking about some secret rumors regarding 'Big Dragon Head' Cui Long, the traitor attendant felt colder inside.
Suddenly, he regretted pledging allegiance to those people.
If he knew about Dark Dragon Guard earlier, he'd never have done it.
And this traitor attendant didn't realize that Xu Dashan was carefully observing his expression.
'Maybe he can be persuaded to switch sides...'
Xu Dashan contemplated but didn't act immediately.
Such things can't be rushed.
They need time.
If he finds an opportunity, maybe he could reverse fate.
Thinking of this, Xu Dashan was increasingly thankful to Jason.
He had resolved that, once he sees the young lady again, he must ask for a real 'Creation Pill' for this Master Mu as gratitude.
For this, Jason was unaware.
"Master, breakfast will take a while."
In Dou Bao's words, Jason returned to his room first, taking out the spoils from the Zhao brothers' city hideout.
Ten portions of 'Tiger Blood Strong Yuan Powder'.
Four portions of 'Ginseng Toad Pill'.
Immediately after consuming, satiety increased by 820 points.
Then, he unhesitatingly took out 'Heart Plucking Hand', choosing to learn.
Suddenly, the view changed.
