Chapter 254: 163 nesting dolls_2

"Looking down on someone, are you? Take it off quickly!"

Wu Hongqiu was very dissatisfied and chased after Luo Qianqian with hands and feet flailing.

The two young beauties chased and frolicked until they almost tore down the loft.

In the blink of an eye, two or three hours had passed, and it was noon.

Finally, they quieted down and sat at the table to enjoy a rich lunch.

During the meal, Wu Hongqiu brought up the previous night’s wine party and asked, "Have you heard of that Fang Maofu?"

Luo Qianqian shook her head, "I’ve never heard of him. Are there any small noble families with the surname Fang?"

Wu Hongqiu replied, "In Qinghe County, there are eight small noble families: Wu, Dong, Ruan, Peng, Xue, Feng, Pei, and Shen, but none with the surname Fang."

Luo Qianqian sneered, "That settles it, then. The person who released this information must be either Fang Maofu himself or an enemy of his."

Wu Hongqiu thought about it and immediately lost interest, saying, "In my opinion, this Fang Maofu probably wants to join the Qinghe Martial Arts Tournament to increase his own value, and this is why he’s deliberately making a show of things."

Luo Qianqian showed no interest and shook her head, "Trying to raise one’s own value, utterly boring."

Wu Hongqiu also scornfully sighed, "These days, there really are all kinds of people."

After the meal, Wu Hongqiu left the Prefectural Governor’s residence and went to another good sister’s house to play for a while.

In the meantime, she shared Luo Qianqian’s analysis with that sister, who then told other friends.

It spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred.

"So, after all this fuss, this Fang Maofu is just a nobody who has gained unearned fame."

Xue Nanjie, after hearing his subordinate’s report, suddenly showed a look of disgust, feeling like he’d wasted precious time and effort on such an insignificant person, and it was just not worth it.

The Cheng brothers were also dumbfounded.

No matter how they imagined it, they couldn’t have envisioned things turning out this way.

They were blasted by Xue Nanjie and felt even more frustrated and indignant.

...

...

The Naval Camp!

At dusk, Luo Keji and Dong Minzhu sat opposite each other, the couple enjoying their dinner.

At that moment, Aunt Leng walked in and summarized the news she had heard, carefully reporting it to them.

Luo Keji frowned, puzzled, "Wasn’t Fang Maofu very low-key? Why are so many scions of power suddenly paying attention to him?"

Aunt Leng replied, "Tracing back to the source of the news, the first person to take notice of Fang Maofu was Xue Nanjie. As for the reason, it’s still unclear."

Dong Minzhu chuckled, "Fang Maofu was once an Incense Master of the Iron Mountain Sect, maybe for this reason, he caught the attention of Xue Nanjie?"

Aunt Leng answered, "It doesn’t seem so, all the people who are interested in Fang Maofu actually only care about one thing—that someone is deliberately spreading rumors that Fang Maofu could be a dark horse in the upcoming Qinghe Martial Arts Competition."

Luo Keji thought for a moment and then asked, "What is Fang Maofu doing?"

Aunt Leng replied, "Fang Maofu is completely unaware of this matter, and even the other people of Yixiang House were caught by surprise, utterly astonished."

Dong Minzhu continued, "It seems that this is not Fang Maofu’s doing, then let’s look into Xue Nanjie."

"It’s already under investigation, and we should have results very soon," Aunt Leng said in response.

...

...

Flap flap~

A carrier pigeon flew into Yixiang House and landed on the windowsill of the study.

Fang Zhixing took the scroll of paper off the pigeon’s leg.

"Tonight, at the hour of the dog, ten miles south of the city in the Wild Fox Forest, execute the person you are to meet."

Fang Zhixing frowned, and a look of amusement appeared on his face.

Hongye walked over, glanced at the scroll in Fang Zhixing’s hand, and laughed, "Master, what’s wrong? Have you come across a very difficult mission?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head, "It’s not clear how difficult it is yet, but the request is that I personally do the killing."

Hongye was taken aback, surprised, "The task of killing someone can also be done by Ma Zhengming, why does it have to be you, Master?"

"Exactly, that’s why this mission is somewhat interesting."

Fang Zhixing pondered, "The person I am to kill is very likely someone I’ve met before."

Night fell.

Fang Zhixing had dinner and made some preparations before leaving Yixiang House and heading out of the city.

Xigou followed, curious, "You don’t have any acquaintances in County, do you? Who does Luo Keji want you to kill?"

Fang Zhixing no longer wanted to guess and answered, "We’ll know when we get there."

Seeing this, Xigou asked no more.

The man and his dog quickly reached the Wild Fox Forest to the south of the city.

It was a verdant forest, home to a large number of foxes, with foxholes everywhere.

Fang Zhixing arrived early at the Wild Fox Forest and after glancing around, quickly made some calculations in his mind.

He climbed up a tree and hid himself, lying in wait.

Xigou smelled the strong scent and itched his nose, not wanting to stay on the ground.

But he couldn’t climb trees, so he had to reluctantly find a raised patch of grass to lie down on.

Time slowly ticked by...

Clop clop clop~

Two fast horses galloped forth, stopping outside the Wild Fox Forest.

"Brother, this is the Wild Fox Forest, isn’t it?"

Under the night sky, Cheng Tianxi, riding on his horse and holding a lantern, lifted it up to shine on the dark and foreboding forest.

"Yes, right here,"

Cheng Tianen, holding a brocade box in his arms, nodded and said, "The Young Sect Master suddenly ordered us to deliver something here, at the time of the Dog. We shouldn’t be late."

The more Cheng Tianxi looked around, the more he felt something was off, and he frowned, "This Wild Fox Forest has an ominous atmosphere, it’s not a good place. Why did the Young Sect Master insist on choosing this place?"

Cheng Tianen dismounted and said, "Stop your wild guesses, let’s quickly hand over the stuff to the contact person and rush back immediately."

Without further ado, Cheng Tianxi dismounted.

The brothers walked into the woods, continuously shaking their lantern.

"They’re here!"

Crouched in a tree, Fang Zhixing’s eyes narrowed slightly as he saw a lantern swaying back and forth in the woods, moving arrogantly, as if no one else was present.

"What’s the meaning of this?"

In such a scene, Xigou was also shocked, blinking as he said, "No way, do those two not realize they’re about to be executed?"

"Are you stupid?"

Fang Zhixing said speechlessly, "If you knew you were going to be killed, would you still come?"

"..."

Xigou pulled back his tongue, rolled his eyes, and angrily said, "I’m not stupid, I was being sarcastic, get it?"

Soon, the light got closer.

"Eh, why is it them?!"

Fang Zhixing’s eyes unwittingly widened, and his facial expression became instantly brilliant.

It had been a long time since he had seen the Cheng brothers.

Little did he expect that the day they met again would be a life and death struggle!

"Well, this..."

Xigou too was wide-eyed and incredulous.

Speaking of which, Cheng Tianen was Fang Zhixing’s enlightening teacher, having led him to the threshold of martial arts.

However, later, when Cheng Tianen realized Fang Zhixing’s intentions were not pure, he sent Fang Zhixing away.

The last time he heard news of the Cheng brothers, they were at their proudest moment, having just been promoted as Hall Masters of Cloud Tiger Hall.

Alas, such is the unpredictability of life, a whirlwind within a whirlwind...

The next moment, Fang Zhixing jumped down from the tree and gracefully landed in front of the Cheng brothers.

Seeing this, Xigou also leapt out and came to Fang Zhixing’s side.

"You?"

Cheng Tianen, at first startled, took a closer look and found Fang Zhixing’s face very unfamiliar.

Indeed, Fang Zhixing was currently using the Bone Shrinking technique, having changed his appearance completely.

"Eh, isn’t this mangy dog..."

Cheng Tianxi’s breath hitched, and in shock he blurted out, "You are Fang Zhixing!"

Cheng Tianen quickly came to his senses, astounded, "Are you really Fang Zhixing?"

Crack~

A series of strange sounds came from within Fang Zhixing’s body, his stature abruptly growing taller, and his body became large and muscular, quickly turning into a young man over two meters tall.

Seeing this!

The Cheng brothers’ breathing became stifled, and they couldn’t help but gasp in cold air.

They felt a massive pressure bearing down on them!

"Fang Zhixing, how, how could you be here?"

Cheng Tianen, extremely nervous, quickly glanced around and concurrently forced himself to calm down.

He slowly set down the brocade box in his arms, his face showing great cautiousness, and asked, "Are you the recipient?"

Fang Zhixing glanced at the brocade box, then suddenly drew his sword and chopped down toward the ground.

Chop!

The Second Level Treasure Saber passed over the brocade box, and in a flash of sword light, the box burst open.

The Cheng brothers looked down, their pupils suddenly shrinking sharply.

The box was empty; there was nothing inside.

"This, this..."

Cheng Tianen’s eyes widened, a strong sense of unease flooding his mind, his adam’s apple moving up and down non-stop, as he asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Cheng Tianxi was also staggered by the change of events, shivering uncontrollably, his voice trembling, "Fang Zhixing, what on earth did you do to make the Young Sect Master betray us?"

Upon these words!

Cheng Tianen also suddenly realized the stark truth, goddamn, he and his brother were sold out by Xue Nanjie!
