re starving, but they were tall and strong-looking, giving the impression that they wouldn't be easy to mess with.His appearance alone scared off a large number of people who had wanted to attack them...Having been discovered, Shen Li immediately jumped down from the roof. There was no light on the rooftop, and the person was hidden in the shadows. He couldn't see the other person's appearance at first.

The moment he landed, Shen Li's first reaction was to retreat. He hadn't expected to be discovered so quickly.

A master was hidden in Gu Liusheng's mansion after all.

Just as Shen Li was about to run, the other party

caught up and followed closely. He had no choice but to turn around and fight back.

The moment he turned and saw the other person's face, Shen Li's whole body trembled. His pupils dilated involuntarily, and he gasped in surprise.

"Big Brother Zong!"

"I'm Shen Li, Senior Brother Zong. Don't you recognize me"

With each of Shen Li's cries, Zong Yu attacked relentlessly, every strike aimed at his vital points.

Seeing the situation, Shen Li closed his mouth. When he was punched in the shoulder by Zong Yu and his internal organs trembled with pain, he finally mustered all his strength to face Zong Yu's attack.

He used to find it hard to match him in terms of skill, but relying on the ingenuity of his martial arts moves, he could barely manage a draw.

It's been a few months, but Zongyu's moves have suddenly become orthodox and well-structured, like he's been taught proper martial arts.

Combined with his monstrous power, after just a dozen exchanges, Shen Li was overwhelmed and forced to retreat. He was slammed against the wall by Zong Yu, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Shen Li temporarily lost the ability to move, being trampled under Zong Yu's feet. He had a cold expression, looking down at him from above.

"What country are you a spy from"

"I'll keep your whole body if you don't speak."

Shen Li frowned tightly, looking at the man in front of her as if he were a completely different person, utterly baffled.

In the past, Zongyu often wore a stern expression and remained emotionless when interacting with outsiders. However, he didn't carry the same heavy aura of killing intent or hostility as he does now.

It seems like they're not very talkative, but overall they seem normal.

Now, he looked like a sharpened blade that had been opened. A sword that killed without hesitation, cold and merciless.

In just a few short months, what happened to Zong Gege

Outside Bai Cui Garden, Fang Jinxiu and Fu Mingshu had waited for almost two hours, gradually losing their patience.

"Not quite."

"With Shen Li's abilities, he could find someone in the Bai Cui Garden in no more than half an hour. Regardless of whether he found anyone or not, he should be out by now."

"How come there's still no news by now."

They looked at each other, both seeing the same suspicion in each other's eyes.

Although I'm reluctant to think this way, but.

"Shen Li is in trouble."

Fu Ming's face was grim. "That incompetent Gu Liusheng, how could the people around him possibly catch Shen Li."

Shen Li's martial arts were not like those flashy, worthless techniques found in the Jianghu. He was forged through real battles, honed from a young age amidst the corpses of his fallen enemies. There were very few people in this world capable of defeating him.

Fang Jinshu closed her eyes, then suddenly stood up.

"What if our operation tonight is a trap itself"

Fu Ming only realized it later, his surprise evident as he exclaimed, "You're saying Gu Liu Sheng set a trap inside, intentionally waiting for Shen Li to jump in!"

How is this possible Gu Liu Sheng, that prodigal son, couldn't possibly have such intelligence. He's only good at business, he certainly doesn't have such foresight.

Fang Jinshu stared at the open gate of Bai Cuilin Garden, her voice cold. "Gu Liusheng is not here, but Gu Feng is."

Two young servants walked out from the gate of Bai Cui Garden and headed straight towards where they were hiding.

It seemed like their hiding was a joke, as if the other party had known all along they were here.

Fu Ming's face flushed red and white as he saw two servants approaching. He felt embarrassed; tonight, he had acted like a clown.

Fang Jinshi was surprisingly calm. It wasn't worth getting angry at this point, the other party had already dug a hole and was waiting for them to walk right into it.

No wonder Gu Liusheng was so open and unrestrained about his whereabouts.

"Two honored guests, my young master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Please come in."

Fang Jinxiu was about to follow the two people inside, but Fu Ming stopped her.

"Wait, aren't you afraid it's a trap if we go in"

Fang Jinshu's eyes were firm. "Even if it's a trap, I'm going in."

"Fame is all I have left. I have no other choice."g Jinxiu.Think about it, she recruited so many people from the village to work, thirty catties of grain and sixty wen for each person. A total of twenty-five people, that's seven hundred and fifty cat...
