Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 467 Revenge - Whereabouts of Su Chen

Zhou Leng lived on the second floor of the inn. She opened the window and stared at the house diagonally across the street with sharp eyes.

The house was surrounded by high walls and the gate was closed. The words "Feng Mansion" were written clearly on the plaque on the door in strong and powerful characters.

Zhou Leng quietly observed the Feng Mansion for half a month. She always remained highly vigilant and did not miss any details.

Over the past half month, the Feng Mansion has seemed peaceful and there has been nothing unusual.

Night falls quietly and everything is silent.

At midnight, Zhou Leng decided to sneak into Feng's house to find out what was going on. She changed into a dark nightgown, put on a black mask, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes, and held a sharp dagger in her hand.

Zhou Leng was like a ghost, lightly leaping over the wall of the inn and quietly moving towards Feng's residence. Along the way, she was careful to avoid the patrolling servants and finally successfully sneaked into Feng's residence.

After entering Feng's house, Zhou Leng found that the layout here was much simpler than she had imagined. Compared with the solemn and gorgeous appearance outside, the decoration inside seemed quite ordinary, even a little shabby.

The lights in the Feng Mansion's study were bright, just like daytime.

A large desk was placed in the center, piled with various books and study items.

A man was sitting at a desk, concentrating on the book in his hands, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

On the roof of the study, Zhou Leng was lurking like a ghost. Her eyes were fixed on the man below. Just as she was about to observe further, the man suddenly seemed to have noticed something. He raised his head abruptly, his eyes were like torches, and he looked straight at the roof. His voice was low and powerful, with a hint of warning: "Sir, being so sneaky is not what a gentleman does."

The moment the words fell, a cold light rushed over like lightning, heading straight for Zhou Leng!

Zhou Leng reacted very quickly, her body suddenly turned, spinning rapidly like a spinning top. With a "whoosh" sound, the iron nail whizzed past her shoulder, bringing with it a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Zhou Leng did not pause, she took advantage of the situation and flew up, landing on the ground as lightly as a flying bird, then pushed open the door of the study without hesitation and walked in with big strides. After entering the study, he sat on the chair calmly, as if the thrilling scene just now had never happened.

After the door was closed, Zhou Leng's voice slowly rang out: "Twenty years ago, the Feng family suffered a great disaster, but fortunately someone came to their aid. The head of the Feng family once said that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. I wonder if the head of the Feng family still remembers this?"

When the man surnamed Feng heard this, his face instantly turned extremely ugly. Only a few people knew about this. He stared at Zhou Leng intently, especially the black mask he had been wearing, which made his heart surge. After a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty:

"It is true. Because of this, my study has been explored many times. Countless experts have come in and out of my Feng Mansion as if they were in an empty house. My Feng family is really helpless! If you had come a month earlier, I am afraid that my Feng family would have been wiped out long ago."

When Zhou Leng heard this, his heart sank.

The man surnamed Feng saw that Zhou Leng did not take off his mask, nor did he respond to his words immediately, but continued to remain silent. However, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

After a while, the man surnamed Feng continued, "After I heard what happened to the Su family, I was extremely anxious and rushed to the Su family day and night. Unfortunately, I heard on the way that the Su family had been wiped out. However, God will not let down those who work hard. On the way, I happened to meet a group of people besieging a young man. The young man was already alone and his life was hanging by a thread. Seeing this, I helped without hesitation, repelled those people, and saved the young man."

He paused, and then continued, "After that, I escorted the young man all the way until I sent him to Jinshui Town in Qingyangmen. In order to protect his safety, I asked him to change his name to Chen Lang. After this incident, the grudge between our two families was settled. After this incident, our two families have no grudges and are no longer related to each other."

Zhou Leng was pleasantly surprised after hearing these words. She secretly thought that the boy he rescued might be Su Chen, the younger brother of the original body.

Zhou Leng didn't say any more nonsense. She immediately clasped her fists and saluted to express her gratitude to the man surnamed Feng. Then, she turned and left, her movements as fast as lightning.

After confirming that no one was following him, Zhou Leng breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the inn.

The next day, Zhou Leng got up early and after some inquiries, she finally found a human trafficker at the market. After bargaining with him, she successfully hired a carriage to Yuezhou.

Although riding a carriage would take half a month longer than riding a horse, Zhou Leng felt that this would avoid attracting too much attention. After all, if she, a single woman, rode a horse straight to Yuezhou, it would definitely attract attention, which was not what she wanted. After all, most of the way from here to Jinshui Town was the territory of the Four Seas Alliance.

The driver of the carriage was named Li Wu, a tall man. He was burly, with bulging tendons, giving people a strong and powerful feeling. Such a long journey really requires a driver with enough physical strength and a deterrent body shape.

There was no conversation along the way. When they were about to reach the border of Yuezhou, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting in the bamboo forest ahead. This sound made Li Wu's nerves tense instantly, and he quickly stopped the carriage far away, not daring to move forward a step.

Li Wu walked cautiously outside the carriage curtain and said to Zhou Leng in a low voice: "Miss Zhou, there is a fight going on ahead and the situation is unclear. For safety reasons, we'd better stay here for a while and never attract their attention, let alone investigate or watch. After all, this is the territory of the Four Seas Alliance, there shouldn't be too much trouble, and they shouldn't dare to kill innocent people at will."

Zhou Leng listened to Li Wu's words, was silent for a moment, and then asked softly: "Can't we take a detour?"

Li Wu looked embarrassed and explained, "Miss, if we take a detour, I'm afraid it will take another four or five days, which will delay us a lot."

Zhou Leng thought about it for a while, and finally decided to follow Li Wu's advice and just said "OK".

On this quiet road, a faint smell of blood wafted over from the bamboo forest, as if it was some kind of ominous omen.

After about two quarters of an hour, the bamboo forest finally returned to peace, without any sound. However, Li Wu did not relax his vigilance, and he continued to wait carefully. After another quarter of an hour, when he was sure that there was no abnormality around, he started the carriage again, slowly drove through the bamboo forest, and continued on his way.

Just as the carriage passed through the bamboo forest, a thin figure jumped onto the carriage at an astonishing speed, like a ghost. His movements were as fast as lightning, but his footsteps were extremely light, like a cat. In the blink of an eye, he was behind Zhou Leng, and the dagger in his hand was like a poisonous snake, piercing Zhou Leng's throat.

Zhou Leng's reaction speed was extremely fast. Just when the dagger was about to touch her throat, she suddenly turned sideways and dodged the fatal blow. She quickly made a move, grabbed the opponent's wrist like a gust of wind, twisted it hard, and took the dagger away.

Zhou Leng's movements were smooth and she placed the dagger against the opponent's neck. The sharp blade was pressed against the opponent's skin. With just a little force, she could easily cut the opponent's throat.

The carriage returned to calm in an instant, and Li Wu, who was on his way, did not notice anything unusual.
