You Promised to Be an Idle Son-in-Law, How Could You Become a Land Immortal? Chapter 227 - 195: Who I Am Is Not Important

Shaless scoundrel?

Liu Lang glanced at Chen Yi and chuckled. "Boss, she’s calling you nas."

Chen Yi had heard her, of course. His eyes fixed on Fang Hongxiu and her group as he chuckled softly.

"As the saying goes: ’Strangers the first ti, acquainted the second, and sharing a bed the third.’"

"Hundred Households Fang, this counts as our third eting. Why don’t we just be open about this?"

"Let take that man, and you can all pretend tonight never happened. How does that sound?"

Fang Hongxiu glared at him, gritting her teeth. "You lecher! Don’t even think about it!"

However, she knew she and her subordinates were no match for the man before them. She quickly gave an order:

"Old Liu, take him back to the Governnt Office! The rest of you, with !"

The words had barely left her mouth when Fang Hongxiu drew the long blade from her waist and charged.

The other three Imprisonnt Officers followed close behind her.

Only one more experienced-looking Imprisonnt Officer tried to circle around with the man in black.

Seeing this, Chen Yi shook his head, saying nothing more.

After signaling Liu Lang with a raise of his hand to go after the prisoner, he turned to face Fang Hongxiu and the other Imprisonnt Officers alone.

His Cultivation had now reached the Middle Sixth Grade. His Punch, Step, and Spear Daos had all reached Great Success, and even his Saber Dao was at the Minor Success Realm. He was on a completely different level than Fang Hongxiu and her officers.

It only took a single exchange.

Using the Wandering Dragon and Phoenix Step Technique, Chen Yi wove through the four of them. With his hand as a blade, he struck each of them on the back of the neck.

Fang Hongxiu and the other three collapsed to the ground without so much as a grunt.

On the other side, Liu Lang had done the sa, knocking out Old Liu and hoisting the Xiao Family’s Hidden Guard onto his shoulder.

"What now?"

Chen Yi glanced around. "Let’s head back first," he said.

He then led Liu Lang straight back to their residence on Chuansi Street.

Liu Lang laid the man in black on a table. He glanced at the man’s face, noting he was just an ordinary-looking, middle-aged man, then turned his attention to his injuries.

"This guy’s lucky to be alive."

"Three puncture wounds that went straight through him. One in the chest, one in the lower back, and one on his thigh. Tsk, tsk."

Chen Yi had no ti for his comntary. He called for Zhang Dabao to bring the Silver Needles, then motioned for him to open the man’s shirt.

After observing the man with his Qi Observation Skill, he deftly placed four needles.

As his True Essence flowed, he used the technique of Controlling Needle with Qi to quickly staunch the bleeding, repair the man’s ridians, and accelerate the healing of his wounds.

After about an hour,

Chen Yi finally removed the Silver Needles. "Bandage his wounds," he instructed.

Zhang Dabao hurried forward with a towel and gauze.

Seeing this, Liu Lang asked curiously, "Boss, do you know who this man is?"

Chen Yi put away his Silver Needles and sat back down, resting. He sized up the middle-aged man as he said, "A Hidden Guard of the Xiao Family."

Liu Lang was a little surprised.

Hidden Guards, to put it simply, were Death Warriors trained by the Xiao Family.

Their Cultivation might not be exceptionally high, but their identities were always kept absolutely secret.

An ordinary person would be lucky to have even heard of them, let alone know one.

’It seems the boss’s status within the Xiao Family is quite high.’

As he mulled this over, Liu Lang asked, "If he’s one of the Xiao Family’s n, wouldn’t he be safer in the hands of the Imprisonnt Departnt?"

Chen Yi shook his head. "If I’m not mistaken, the people hunting him belong to the Evil Demonic Dao."

"Black Tooth?"

"If Black Tooth had been the one to strike, this man would already be dead."

"That’s true."

After a mont of thought,

Chen Yi’s brow furrowed slightly as he gave his next order. "In a little while, I want you to go to the Spring Rain Building and wait there."

Liu Lang blinked. "The Spring Rain Building?"

"Weren’t you just telling last night to spend less silver there? Why now..."

Chen Yi shot him a glare, cutting him off. "A Hidden Guard from the Xiao Family was being hunted by the Evil Demonic Dao. That ans he must have uncovered so information."

"If I were Black Tooth and Lou Yuxue, I’d make my move tomorrow... or the day after, at the latest."

"So, I need you to keep an eye on things for at the Spring Rain Building. The mont you hear anything, have Wang Ji notify imdiately."

Liu Lang understood and nodded in agreent.

Chen Yi was about to say more, but he saw the middle-aged man’s eyelids twitch. Realizing he had regained consciousness, he simply said:

"If you get the chance, find out where they’re keeping that thirty thousand taels of gold."

"Be careful. Don’t let them notice you."

"Don’t worry."

After Liu Lang had left the residence, Chen Yi turned his gaze to the middle-aged man pretending to be unconscious.

After a mont’s thought, he pulled a bottle of Immortal Drunk from his robes. He slowly twisted the stopper open, a smile on his face as he spoke:

"I don’t have any ill will toward the Xiao Family. On the contrary, we’re on the sa side."

"But to keep those people from doing sothing desperate, the Old Marquis can’t know about this just yet."

Realizing he’d been found out, the middle-aged man’s eyes snapped open and he stared at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was expecting this. He clamped a hand over the man’s face, bringing the open bottle of Immortal Drunk with it.

The middle-aged man realized the danger, but under the influence of the Immortal Drunk, his already grievously injured body grew even weaker.

After struggling for a mont, he managed to force out the question, "Who... who are you..."

Chen Yi chuckled. "Who I am isn’t important."

He paused, then offered no further explanation, only a comforting word. "Just get so sleep."

"By the ti you wake up, this whole affair should be settled."

The middle-aged man vaguely heard his words before losing consciousness completely.

’This man, this man... How can he act this way? The burning of the Three Towns’ sumr grain is at stake!’

Chen Yi, of course, was unaware of the man’s thoughts. But now that all his plans and arrangents were in place, it wouldn’t do to have the Old Marquis intervene prematurely.

He then summoned Zhang Dabao and gave him instructions. "Tomorrow, find a place with no connection to the Hundred Herbs Hall and get him settled there."

Zhang Dabao bowed in acknowledgent, then stepped forward to remove the disguise from Chen Yi’s face.

Chen Yi let him work, his mind already turning over other matters. He continued giving orders, "Tell Wang Ji to find several other residences in the city."

"Also, find everyone involved with the residence in the East Market. Have Wang Ji give them so silver and arrange for them to leave Shu State for a while."

Zhang Dabao committed each order to mory. But, being a young man, he couldn’t quite hide his concerns. He hesitated before speaking:
