Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 127 Entrustment

Aside from the subtle aroma of tea, the air was refreshingly clean.

"Sigh~"

Inside the reception room, Lanminghua had one foot on a chair and was drinking tea.

Originally, it wasn't his business, but since he was already there, he came along.

Qin Ming looked at the elderly Tianlian Sect Leader and asked, "Sect Leader, why did you summon me...?"

Compared to a few years ago, this Tianlian Sect Leader seemed to have aged considerably. In Qin Ming's opinion, the other party would probably only last for five years at most.

The Sect Leader of Tianlian seemed to be fully aware of this as well, saying, "I invited you here, Pavilion Master, because I have a request..."

……

Before long, the two left the Tianlian Sect.

Qin Ming looked at the three secret techniques in his hand and sighed. These were the ultimate martial arts of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, and also secrets that were not passed on to others.

There are three doors in total.

He had mastered most of the others, and Jiang Huilian had also learned them.

Only these three books: the eleventh level of the Heavenly Lotus Divine Skill, The White Lotus Appears Once, and The White Lotus Purifies the World.

"I have already passed on 'White Lotus Blossoms' and 'White Lotus Great Law' to Huilian. My days are numbered. If I lose them, I will trouble the Pavilion Master to pass them on on my behalf."

This is a commission, and also a trust.

Although there was no reward, it was only not explicitly stated that these three top-tier martial arts manuals were themselves a reward.

The Heavenly Lotus Sect is definitely among the top six sects in terms of martial arts foundation alone, with a total of four top-tier martial arts manuals!

It should be noted that the other six major sects only have one or two techniques at most, and that includes the most core cultivation methods.

"Sigh, more trouble..."

"Rotten Life Hua sighed."

Qin Ming remained silent. Xuanwu Kingdom had always been like this; no force remained strong forever. Even the Heavenly Dragon Gang did not become the number one gang in the world from the beginning, but rather accumulated its strength little by little.

It has experienced occasional periods of decline, but its fundamental strength remains, preventing it from being directly replaced.

If the Tianlian Sect, one of the six major sects, were to truly decline, countless other sects would likely follow suit, inevitably causing a great upheaval.

……

Approaching the northern part of Xuanwu Kingdom.

Halfway through the flight, Lanminghua got off the train (Dragon) halfway.

"I'm not going to Plum Blossom Manor. That old man there is just as boring as my senior brother. I'll just go down here. See you later, handsome."

Qin Ming ignored him; this guy had already taken over as the leader of the Tianlong Gang.

The reason was that his senior brother was ambushed by that Crown Prince, and his martial arts skills were greatly diminished.

So they forced Lanminghua into becoming the gang leader, while they themselves retreated to the background.

The daily life of this scoundrel Hua over the years can be described in five words: "Escape from the Dragon Gang".

After landing on the ground, Lanminghua looked around, mainly to determine the direction. He could see an inn in the distance from the air.

We walked along the straight official road.

Inside the inn, a group of fierce-looking figures sat in different places, seemingly belonging to several different gangs.

The atmosphere between them was heavy.

squeak~

"Oh? Is business that good?"

Everyone, "?!"

Upon seeing Lanminghua walk in through the door, the group of people did not seem to recognize the leader of the Tianlong Gang.

Lanming Hua is usually either under the watchful eye of the Tianlong Gang or wandering around like a beggar. Unless you know him well, it's really hard to associate the leader of the number one gang in Xuanwu Kingdom with his appearance.

He walked over to a table with empty seats and sat down, giving the other three a dejected look. "You don't mind sharing a table with me, do you?"

Among the three, there was a bald, burly man, a tall, thin man carrying a long spear, and sitting opposite Lanminghua was a swordsman wearing a bamboo hat.

They were all dressed in the standard attire of martial arts figures, characteristic of the Xuanwu Kingdom.

The other people in the inn sneered, while some showed pity.

The man in the straw hat raised his hand, calming the two restless individuals down, "Don't cause any unnecessary trouble."

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

Seeing that no fight had broken out, Xiao Er slipped to Lanminghua's side.

"Just something to eat, stir-fried beef noodles, iced milk tea, and a roast goose leg, the left leg, please."

"..."

The waiter then carefully examined Lanminghua and said, "Pay first, then eat."

"What the hell?!"

Lanminghua leaned in and glared at the other person (with a fly-like face), "Does Xuanwu Kingdom have a system of paying before eating? Don't think you can rip me off just because I'm from out of town! I'm a local!"

Seeing that the waiter had cornered them at the kitchen door, the manager behind the counter finally gestured to the waiter to serve the food first.

Lanminghua then returned to his seat and sat down.

"This time, we'll play it by ear. If that old man isn't here, then..."

Your food is here!

"Let's start..."

"Here's your goose leg, iced milk tea, and stir-fried beef noodles!"

"Delicious! Great, great...burp!"

Three men in straw hats...

Seeing Hua's wretched fate, like a starving ghost reincarnated, the three of them had their plans disrupted and could only stare at him, waiting for him to leave.

The waiter, seeing that he had finished eating, instantly appeared and said, "Sir, here is your bill..."

"Hiss~ Burp." After finishing the last sip of milk tea, Lanminghua casually pulled out a few manuals. "Money is fine. I have a few manuals here to pay for my meal."

In his hand were several abstract manuals with their covers.

Chrysanthemum Acupressure Technique, Blood Demon Knife Technique, Indestructible Vajra, Kamehameha...

Those who don't know their stuff might actually get ripped off by him. There are actually some excellent martial arts techniques among them, but in Xuanwu Kingdom they are either obscure or commonplace.

In short, it's difficult to practice or even life-threatening, so most people wouldn't bother practicing it.

However, if you were to actually sell them, they would be enough for a meal, provided you could actually sell them...

Waiter, "..."

Look at the shopkeeper behind the counter.

The shopkeeper raised his hand and made a gesture in front of him.

"catch him!"

Several figures emerged from the kitchen.

"Huh?! It's just a meal, hey hey hey! Look, you guys forced me to use my ultimate move!"

"Hum hum!"

A group of people, eager to fight, slowly approached.

"Lanminghua, "..."

Whoosh!

The next moment, Lanminghua had already run out. Of the thirty-six stratagems, retreat!

"Don't let him get away!"

"Chase!"

Seeing that Lanminghua had finally left, the three men in straw hats didn't bother to pay any more attention and simply stood up.

"Never mind! Let's go up the mountain!"

"Boss! You...!!"

"Ok?"

The man in the straw hat glanced at his subordinates, then suddenly felt a cold breeze blow past his crotch and shivered.

Looking down, his face darkened...

The others in the inn sneered, but soon someone noticed something was wrong.

"Where's my belt?!"

"My knife!"

"Damn it! It's that beggar from earlier!"

"Damn it! Kill him!!"

"Chase!"

In an instant, everyone joined the pursuit.

Lanminghua casually threw a bunch of things on the roadside, creating a commotion, and then managed to escape smoothly in no time.

At the same time, Qin Ming also arrived at Plum Blossom Manor.

"My master is not here."

Outside Plum Blossom Villa, Qin Ming paused.

Although it took him some time, plus two days for Qingfeng's letter to be sent back, the Plum Blossom Hero should still be around.

This Plum Blossom Hero was naturally reclusive; otherwise, he wouldn't have built a mountain villa in this remote and sparsely populated place in Xuanwu Kingdom.

Despite his immense strength, he wasn't actually very well-known throughout the Xuanwu Kingdom.

However, since the guards all said so, he couldn't possibly force his way in.

Turn around and leave.
