Chapter 185: Qin Yi's Shock
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Qin Yi felt a little stifled as he looked at the large locked door. Wasn't the kid still here the last time he came? How did he disappear in such a short time?
"Bam, bam!"
Qin Yi rapped on the door again, hoping to inquire more from the old man.
"What's wrong with this person? I've already told you I didn't know!"
The old man shouted as soon as he opened the door.
The corner of Qin Yi's eye twitched violently. ‘If I didn't take into account your age, and it was another person, I'd beat you up until even your own mother won't be able to recognize you!’
"Where did the previous owner go?"
Qin Yi stated huffily as he sent a wave of pressure towards the old man.
The old man who was originally extremely impatient suddenly shrunk back in shock. He felt like a heavy weight had been placed upon him, and he didn't dare to continue with his scoldings.
"The owner of this mansion is the Nie family. It'd been this way for the past few hundred years..."
The old man replied a little apprehensively.
"Nie family? Heavenly Dragon Lake's Nie family?"
Qin Yi asked again, obviously unconvinced.
"That's right. This mansion is used for keeping the Nie family's ancestral tablets. This old one is only a keeper of the mansion."
The old man nodded hurriedly. Since the man at the door knew the Heavenly Dragon Lake's Nie family, that meant that he must be someone from the martial world as well. In that case, he would probably give the Nie family some face.
"Then, what about the young man who was living here before you? Where did he go?"
Qin Yi felt extremely frustrated. If he knew that this was going to happen, he would have assigned someone to keep an eye on the young master.
"This old one really doesn't know where the previous person moved to! When I came here, the mansion was already empty!"
The old man replied. At the same time, he secretly raised his head to observe Qin Yi's expression.
Qin Yi furrowed his brows with annoyance and shifted his body. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot without even leaving his shadow behind.
By the time the old man raised his head, there was nobody before the door. The old man heaved a sigh of relief as he quickly closed the door and dodged back inside.
Qin Yi came to the village, and began questioning the villagers to see if he could find out where Bei Feng had gone to.
But despite asking dozens of people tirelessly, he still failed to find out any news about Bei Feng. Finally, he arrived at a carpentry shop.
"Ah, so you're Bei Feng's friend? He's already moved out to Qingcheng. As for his exact address, I'm not too sure either."
Xia Zhen smiled amiably at Qin Yi and said as he turned around to pour the guest a cup of tea. But as he turned around, the stool was empty. Where did the guy go?
The color on Xia Zhen's face drained with crazy speed as his heart leaped violently. He hurriedly ran out of the shop and cast his gaze at the empty street. Not mentioning a person, there wasn't even any signs of a ghost!
"Sh*t! Could it be that I've bumped into something dirty?"
Xia Zhen's face was completely pale. Although science had proved that ghosts and spirits did not exist, common villagers like himself were still very fearful of such supernatural entities!
***
The first thing Qin Yi did when he arrived at Qingcheng was to head towards the base of Wulong Gang.
Xiong Wubi was in an extremely good mood lately. His Wulong Gang had successfully turned into the boss of the underground world in Qingcheng!
‘I really don't understand what the hell those Bei Feng's Guards fellows were thinking. There's such a good business going on here, but they actually abandoned it to manage some security company.’
Xiong Wubi felt that those people had all been hit in the head by a bat. How can a security company be as lucrative as running an underground gang!
"Ah!"
"Ow!"
"Who the hell are you?!"
A series of painful shouts came from the hallway. Qin Yi continued marching forward with an expressionless face, leaving a bunch of people groaning on the ground in his wake.
"Find this person for me by 6 pm tonight. If you can't find him, there's no reason for your gang to exist anymore!"
Qin Yi kicked open the office door and stated frostily as he stared at the flabbergasted Xiong Wubi. Then, he threw a picture onto Xiong Wubi's desk, knocking over the tea cup.
Seeing the large bunch of men fallen and groaning outside, Xiong Wubi almost pissed himself in his fright. Where did this barbarian pop out from?!
"This... is Bei Feng?!"
Xiong Wubi wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and picked up the photo on his desk. But, as soon as he saw the familiar figure of that terrifying brat, he could not help but shriek aloud.
"Oh? You know him? Quick, tell me, where is he?"
Qin Yi who was about to leave suddenly stopped. With a flash, he appeared right before Xiong Wubi, and his aura gushed forth to pressure the latter!
Xiong Wubi felt his knees go soft and he immediately knelt before the chilly pressure. "Blue Spirit Mountain, the villa estates!" Xiong Wubi shouted, almost in tears. He was afraid that if he responded any slower, he would be slain on the spot. This aura was enough to cause tremendous chills to run down his spine. How many people must one kill to form such a scary and frosty killing intent?!
"Very good!"
Qin Yi nodded with satisfaction. He didn't expect to find results so quickly.
Fortunately, Xiong Wubi had always been keeping tabs on Bei Feng's Guards and was collecting information on their every move—that was because he saw Bei Feng's Guards as his biggest threat in the city!
Although it looked like his business rival had already switched to another area of business, it was still better to guard himself. And of course, as the boss behind this Bei Feng's Guards, Bei Feng naturally was the one he had to watch closely the most.
Without stopping to rest, Qin Yi continued rushing towards Blue Spirit Mountain, and was finally stopped by the guards. No one knew how he did it, but not only was Qin Yi allowed into the premise, the guard even told him Bei Feng's villa's exact position!
At this time, Bei Feng was standing in the yard, practicing the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique. Bei Feng discovered that as his body grew stronger, the difficulty of clearing his vessels had also increased. Of course, the benefits he gained from the cleared vessels were even greater!
"Wanting to incorporate the Ursa Smash into Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique is harder than climbing into the sky!"
Bei Feng sighed. Those two moves had nothing in common with each other at all. He had no idea where to even start from.
"Hm? Come out!"
Bei Feng furrowed his brows and snorted lightly. His voice resounded throughout the seemingly empty yard.
‘Huh? How can this be? I've been discovered?’
Qin Yi could not believe it at all. ‘He's likely not calling out to me, right?’
There was no way his stealth technique could be seen through by an ordinary human.
"Still not coming out? Are you waiting for me to invite you out personally?"
Bei Feng's eyes shone as he stared fixedly at a certain location. Coincidentally, that was the exact position Qin Yi was hiding at!
"How did you discover me?"
Qin Yi looked back at Bei Feng with some shock. He knew that he had been discovered, so there was no point in continuing to hide. He emerged from the shadows of the fake mountain with a face full of disbelief.
Bei Feng did not reply. Although this person had hidden himself well, even managing to retract his blood and Qi aura into his body, how could he hide from Bei Feng's mental power sweep?
"Speak. What are you here for?"
Bei Feng paused his actions and walked over to the luxurious pavilion in the center of the yard calmly.
He had a faint inkling in his heart that although he didn't know what this person wanted, he was probably here under the orders of Qin Wufa.
"The Clan Leader asked me to escort you back to the clan on his behalf and prepare to honor your ancestors in the ancestral worship ceremony at the end of the year! At the same time, Young Master's name will also be added to the family tree!"
Qin Yi replied respectfully. Although he could not feel any traces of cultivation from Bei Feng's body, he somehow felt some trepidation in his heart as he looked at the young man!
‘Impossible... that should be a misconception, right?’
Qin Yi pondered silently. With his strength, he could still fear someone else?
"What's that got to do with me?"
Bei Feng sat down on a stone seat and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Young Master, this is your father's will, and you can't disobey it."
Qin Yi smiled bitterly as he looked at Bei Feng. To most people, a matter like this was a huge blessing which fell from the sky. Almost anyone else would immediately throw everything aside and follow him back to the clan to live in comfort and luxury. But, this young master actually did not care for such a blessing at all!
"Stop. This 'Young Master' form of address is not something that I can measure up to. Also, there's no relation between you and me, so please go back."
Bei Feng blew on his tea carefully and took a light sip.
