Chapter 1230 1230: Seeing Through the Jackals
Jin Zongfan was perplexed and could only return to his room to sleep.
However, just after Jin Zongfan lay down on the bed, he heard someone knocking on the door loudly.
Jin Zongfan frowned slightly; he did not like being disturbed while sleeping.
But he was more worried that the knocking would disturb Lin Fei upstairs.
So, Jin Zongfan got up and asked at the door, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Qiu Qiming." Qiu Qiming's distinctively lowered voice came from outside, sounding mysterious, making Jin Zongfan even more curious.
Then, he agreed to come.
Jin Zongfan opened the attic door and saw Qiu Qiming standing outside.
"Young Master Qiu, what business do you have so late?" Jin Zongfan asked Qiu Qiming.
Qiu Qiming looked towards the inside of the attic and asked, "Where's Lin Fei?"
Jin Zongfan replied, "Young Master Qiu, my master is already asleep. If there's nothing urgent, come back tomorrow to see my master."
After speaking, Jin Zongfan was about to close the door.
However, Qiu Qiming stopped Jin Zongfan from closing the door and said solemnly, "Sect Leader Jin, I am looking for Lin Fei not only for something important but extremely important.
Take me to see Lin Fei immediately, otherwise, it will be too late."
Seeing Qiu Qiming's serious demeanor, Jin Zongfan suddenly wondered if Qiu Qiming really had something important.
"Young Master Qiu, what exactly is so important?" Jin Zongfan couldn't help but ask.
Qiu Qiming said, "Something significant happened outside, don't you know?"
"Something significant happened outside?" Jin Zongfan was even more puzzled.
Qiu Qiming said, "I was just at Jinghua Grand Hotel in Thousand Dragon City, enjoying myself with a few beautiful ladies (equivalent to hostesses), when suddenly, a large number of cultivators appeared, searching the entire hotel. They were all looking for Lin Fei."
"Searching for my master?" Jin Zongfan was astonished. His master hadn't gone to Jinghua Grand Hotel to look for ladies, let alone looking for ladies, which was not illegal. How did this concern his master?
"Young Master Qiu, why are they looking for me?" At this moment, a voice came from the attic.
Qiu Qiming and Jin Zongfan saw that at some point, Lin Fei had already appeared in the attic on the first floor.
As soon as Qiu Qiming saw Lin Fei, he quickly walked over and said, "Lin Fei, I was just at Jinghua Grand Hotel when I heard the City Lord's Mansion and the nine great families had sent out a large number of cultivators to search for you, saying that you broke into the City Lord's Mansion and injured the City Lord's two sons."
At this point, a smile appeared on Qiu Qiming's face: "This clearly sounds like someone with ulterior motives is framing you, Lin Fei. How could you break into the City Lord's Mansion to injure the City Lord's two sons? It's utterly baseless."
Needless to say, Qiu Qiming did not believe that Lin Fei would break into the City Lord's Mansion and injure the City Lord's two sons.
However, Jin Zongfan's expression became tense; he didn't agree because he had gone to the City Lord's Mansion with Lin Fei tonight.
Although Jin Zongfan did not enter the City Lord's Mansion in the end, Lin Fei did enter the City Lord's Mansion.
Recalling the commotion in the City Lord's Mansion and the many cultivators in Thousand Dragon City rushing to the City Lord's Mansion, along with Lin Fei's warnings to him afterward.
Jin Zongfan suddenly understood. Could the commotion in the City Lord's Mansion be because Lin Fei injured the City Lord's two sons?
But didn't Lin Fei say he was friends with Yuan Hong? So why would he injure the City Lord's two sons?
"Young Master Qiu, I injured the City Lord's two sons because they intended to cause me harm." Lin Fei did not hide anything and explained to Qiu Qiming.
This froze the smile on Qiu Qiming's face.
"Did you really do it?" Qiu Qiming managed to react, asking Lin Fei.
Lin Fei nodded, "I did it, Young Master Qiu. You should leave quickly to avoid being implicated by me." Lin Fei looked at Qiu Qiming sincerely and said.
Qiu Qiming, able to run back from the hotel to convey the message to Lin Fei, showed that Qiu Qiming had a good heart.
Especially when meeting Lin Fei only today, it was indeed commendable.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Qiming patted his chest and said, "Lin Fei, even if you did injure the City Lord's two young masters, it doesn't mean I'll tell them you're here." Lin Fei smiled: "Thank you."
However, Qiu Qiming worriedly said to Lin Fei, "But Lin Fei, the City Lord and the nine great families of Thousand Dragon City have set a trap for you, and if you stay here, it's only a matter of time before they find you."
"Hehe!" At this moment, two cold laughs came from outside the attic: "So someone is daring enough to injure the City Lord's Mansion's two young masters."
Lin Fei, Qiu Qiming, and Jin Zongfan immediately turned their gaze outside the attic, only to see a young man dressed elegantly, with an impressive bearing, but his eyes gleamed with a cold light.
This man was Huang Shutong.
"Huang Shutong, Lin Fei and I are from big families in Ten Thousand Swords City, with no grudge or grievance. You wouldn't expose Lin Fei's whereabouts, would you?" Qiu Qiming looked at Huang Shutong and said.
Huang Shutong sneered: "No grudge or grievance? Qiu Qiming, don't you know that my Huang family and the Yue family have a longstanding relationship? This kid killed the four heads of the Yue family and replaced them, and my Huang family cannot just sit back and watch.
The most despicable thing is because of him, I lost the person I love most, Yu Yao, so I will never let this kid go."
"What?" Qiu Qiming said in surprise, "Did Lin Fei kill Yue Yuyao?"
Lin Fei frowned slightly, who was Yue Yuyao?
Seemingly understanding Lin Fei's confusion, Jin Zongfan quietly told Lin Fei, "Yue Yuyao is the eldest daughter of the Yue family. Huang Shutong has always been infatuated with her."
Lin Fei finally understood.
"Young Master Huang, what you said about Yue Yuyao, I did not kill her. But if you want revenge for the Yue family, then go ahead!" Lin Fei looked at Huang Shutong without any fear and said.
Huang Shutong's eyes flashed with hatred and fury, glaring at Lin Fei, gritting his teeth: "If it weren't for you causing Yue Yuyao's family to shatter, she wouldn't have sold her body, letting Wan Jingxuan ravage her. It was you who ruined the Yue family and ruined the Yu Yao I loved."
With a swish, a sharp Sword Light appeared in Huang Shutong's hand, its threads possessing the power to rip gold and tear cloth.
However, what surprised Lin Fei was not the sharp sword in Huang Shutong's hand but what Huang Shutong had just said.
Yue Yuyao sold her body, letting Wan Jingxuan ravage her, what did that mean?
Why did Yue Yuyao sell her body, letting Wan Jingxuan ravage it? Was there an ulterior motive?
"Huang Shutong, what nonsense are you talking about? Yue Yuyao has some close relationship with Young Master Wan, how can it be Lin Fei who ruined her?" Qiu Qiming said speechlessly towards Huang Shutong.
Huang Shutong pointed his sharp sword at Lin Fei and said, "Because Yu Yao wanted revenge, she sold her body to Wan Jingxuan, that beast, hoping Wan Jingxuan would kill that Lin boy to avenge the Yue family."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fei completely understood that the elder daughter of the Yue family secretly sought out powerful forces to deal with him.
And accompanying Wan Jingxuan to Thousand Dragon City was indeed a case of befriending a wolf and was perilous as Wan Jingxuan could strike at any moment.
