Li Yan paused, his gaze still unfathomable as he looked at him.
Xiao Rui gathered his courage and pushed against him, but when he noticed that the person didn’t resist, he quickly shoved him to the side and stood up.
“You, you, you…”
He stammered for a long time, unsure of what to say.
“You should rest well. I’ll be leaving now.”
After saying this, he hurriedly left, clutching his neck nervously.
As the door closed behind him, a long time seemed to pass before Li Yan suddenly recalled something, his breath turning sharp.
Several kilometers away, Luo Xiao unconsciously yawned.
Wondering if the weather had gotten colder and if he had caught a cold, he quickly tightened his collar and moved forward.
With some money now, he wanted to find a better place to stay. Otherwise, he felt like he might as well be competing for food with beggars.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
Once Luo Xiao left, Fu Yuling closed the door and entered her space. There hadn’t been much change. The scenery was still nice, but it felt like time stood still.
This reason made Fu Yuling dislike staying there for too long.
She brought her tools inside. There was a specific area where she cultivated toxic strains of medicine.
She had kept them because some illnesses required poison to treat them, so she didn’t eradicat this area.
But now, it seemed she needed them.
Ever since the last three men intruded, she began to worry about the situation spreading here. Now, she had to prepare for the worst.
What if something happened? If she wasn’t ready and any of her four little cubs faced a problem, she would regret it.
She examined the materials she needed and began to focus on measuring them out, only starting to grind them after confirming everything.
Inside, it felt like time didn’t pass, but once outside, one would realize how much time had actually gone by.
After about more than an hour, she finished all her preparations. She set aside the toxic materials and took the other prepared powder in her hand. After confirming its scent, she stored it away.
He Wen and the others had gone to Mother Fu’s house. This was the perfect time for her to head to town to deliver her things to Li Jian.
Thinking that it had been a while since her last visit, Fu Yuling quickly left her house.
…
On the other side, An Ping followed He Jingsi to the train station, where they stood in a concealed corner.
“A part of the Black Tiger’s forces has been suppressed by us, so they’re definitely furious. A couple of days ago, Li Yan mentioned that their people had gone to Zhuangjia Village, so be cautious when you get there.”
An Ping handed over some items to He Jingsi and carefully advised him.
Receiving the items, He Jingsi caught sight of someone not far away and turned his face away.
An Ping looked over and muttered, “Why are people from the Fanying family at the train station?”
Since they learned that someone from the Fanying family had arrived, some forces in Jiang City had begun to feel wary. However, when they realized that the Fanying family seemed to be searching for someone, they gradually relaxed their vigilance and even started inquiring discreetly about who they were looking for.
“Let’s go.”
The train was already crowded. He Jingsi walked over without looking back and went straight on.
An Ping sighed. He looked at the swirling clouds in the sky, and for a moment thought of the current situation.
He wondered where these forces would go from here.
After standing for a moment, he blended into the crowd and left.
