Chapter 20: Discontent

Chapter 20 Discontent
“Drink, all of them!”

Inside a restaurant, Pu Liao was pushing cups with a few people, his demeanor looking extremely unrestrained.

“It’s getting a bit late, and the store is closing soon, let’s not go here today.” A guard asked with a smile.

“This wine hasn’t even been finished yet, what closing time!” Pu Liao turned his head sideways and spat a mouthful of thick spit onto the ground.

Several of the guards glanced at each other, and someone secretly skimmed their lips. Although Pu Liao was now injured and had difficulty with his legs and feet, the Zhang family didn’t unload him, but continued to keep him in the Qingzheng Medical Center.

Just with a broken leg, Pu Liao’s life would be like this, although he was still their leader, his reputation was not as strong as before.

After half an hour, Pu Liao was full of wine and food, a person trembling, limping toward their own residence.

At this moment, the night was quiet and there were no pedestrians in the county. Pu Liao was not afraid, and even let out a few hums.

In the last few days, he had been in a good mood, and even though he was dragging an injured leg, he still couldn’t hide his mood. This kind of eating and drinking on the wine table has also been going on for several days.

“Crunch!”

The door of the old room pushed open with a sound, Pu Liao entered the house and locked the door, lit up the candle, and was just about to take a sip of the tea on the table, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person sitting in the corner at the moment.

Pu Liao’s drunkenness was instantly awakened and he broke out into a cold sweat, grabbing the long sword in his hand, he took a serious look at the figure, and it was actually Chen Fei.

“Why are you here with me!”

Pu Liao’s heart was shocked, but he pretended to be calm and drank in Chen Fei’s question. His eyes rolled from side to side, searching for a way to get away.

Chen Fei suddenly appeared here, so the assassination was probably yellow. Chen Fei was obviously only at the Skin Cultivation realm, so how could he not be hurt at all?
Pu Liao couldn’t understand what was going on, but now he wanted to stabilize Chen Fei first.

“Why did you send someone to kill me? When I first encountered that group of bandits, I still carried you back.” Chen Fei looked at Pu Liao expressionlessly, this was something that Chen Fei had never been able to figure out.

To say that there was a fault between the two, the biggest thing was just the matter of imparting the gongfu in the first place. Could it be that just because of this matter, so he had to have someone kill himself?
“When did I ask someone to kill you!”

Pu Liao looked at Chen Fei with a bewildered look on his face and said, “What kind of person plants evidence on me, it’s simply a bloody mouth!”

“Your emotions are so much different from usual, it seems like it’s really you!”

Chen Fei held his long sword and began to walk towards Pu Liao step by step. Since he couldn’t ask why, Chen Fei simply stopped asking. In this world, there were many things that did not have much of a reason in the first place.

“It has nothing to do with me, if you want to kill me, you can’t find such a poor excuse!”

Pu Liao saw Chen Fei approaching, his heart panicked and hissed, “I was at fault for deliberately making things difficult when I first imparted the technique. I can make amends and apologize to you, and even set up a few tables at Yan Fei Building tomorrow to admit my mistake in public.”

Pu Liao shouted as he stepped backward.

“No need.” Chen Fei shook his head.

“If the Zhang family finds out that I was killed, they will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. Everything must be based on evidence, if you have evidence that I had people kill you, I will die without complaint. But for you to find a random excuse like this today, I am not convinced!” Pu Liao was horrified and shouted.

Chen Fei stopped, and when Pu Liao saw this, he let out a slight sigh of relief, and was just about to speak when a cold light flashed through the dimly lit room.

Pu Liao’s body suddenly froze, a bloodstain appeared on his forehead, his eyes looked at Chen Fei, he thought he had stabilized Chen Fei and could escape this.

“With me, there is no need for evidence.”

Watching Pu Liao gulp down his breath, Chen Fei’s figure flashed and left the room.

A few moments later, Chen Fei returned to the courtyard he had rented.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Chen Fei sighed slightly. He only wanted to cultivate in peace and quiet, but this world, obviously, did not give Chen Fei this opportunity.

The next afternoon, the news of Pu Liao’s death spread throughout the North City Medical Center. “It can’t be those bandits doing it again, it’s only been quiet for a few days ah, and here it comes again!”

“It’s possible that it wasn’t, the ones who killed before were all big families. Pu Liao was just a guard, he shouldn’t have been targeted.”

“Who’s to say, or else we should stay within the medical center lately, there are more people here and it’s safer.”

Inside the North City Medical Center, the people were talking a lot, and Liu Jun even came over to report this matter to Chen Fei.

No one would implicate Pu Liao’s death with Chen Fei, the alchemist.

Many people knew that Chen Fei had just broken through the Skin Cultivation Realm not long ago, and his main focus was on refining pills, and he had no grudge against Pu Liao.

No matter how you look at it, there will be no conflict between the two, and Chen Fei doesn’t have the strength to kill Pu Liao.

Chen Fei as usual refining qi and blood pills, improve the proficiency of the grass still pills. In his mind, he was calculating to go to the dark market at night and hand over the batch of herbs.

As soon as the herbs arrived, Chen Fei could refine the Grass Returning Pill and sell it in the Dark Market.

Last night’s incident, although it was a scare, Chen Fei’s desire for strength was constantly increasing. Dangers were all unknown when they would come, and only by being strong enough could they be avoided.

Towards evening, Chen Fei was just about to set up the furnace to refine the last qi and blood pills of the day when he was suddenly notified to head to the Zhang family.

Chen Fei was a bit surprised, thinking of that eldest lady, Zhang Sinan, there was a possibility that she wanted to inquire about the matter of the North City Medical Center, or the death of Pu Liao, which was also a possibility.

After simply packing up, Chen Fei arrived at the Zhang family.

With a high mansion and a golden roof and stone walls, the Zhang family’s mansion looked magnificent. This was Chen Fei’s first visit to the Zhang family, entering through the small door, he followed a subordinate to a separate courtyard.

Chen Fei looked up and saw that Zhang Sinan was currently talking with Zeng De Fang.

“Greetings, Elder Zeng!” Chen Fei stepped forward and arched his hand.

“Are you still used to staying at the North City Medical Center?”

Zhang Sinan turned her head towards Chen Fei and looked him up and down. Compared to the time when the disaster relief was in progress, Chen Fei at this moment appeared quite a bit stouter, making him look a bit smoother.

Originally, he was dark and thin, making people a bit displeased. If it wasn’t for his alchemy skills, Chen Fei wouldn’t have been able to catch Zhang Sinan’s eye in any case.

“Thank you for your concern, Missy, everything is fine.”

“Have you found anything in the North City Medical Center?” Zhang Sinan asked flatly.

Today, Zhang Sinan also heard about Pu Liao’s death and remembered this person Chen Fei and the mission that was assigned to Chen Fei in the first place. So he called Chen Fei here to ask for clarification.

“Everything in the North City Medical Center was taken over by Steward Sun, and it was difficult for me to have access to it.” Chen Fei told the truth.

“This person, Sun Shu, is naturally cautious. For Chen Fei to suddenly go to the North City Medical Center like this, it’s normal for Sun Art to be on guard.”

Seeing Zhang Sinan frowning, Zeng De Fang opened up for Chen Fei.

And the truth was also true, Sun Shu would not trust Chen Fei at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that Chen Fei had been honestly refining pills lately and hadn’t meddled in other matters, the North City Medical Center wouldn’t be this calm today.

“I said at first that if you discovered the problem, the formula for the Light Spirit Pill, I can even make the decision to give it to you. But if you never make any progress in this matter, I can’t help but say that I will have to let you return to your original place at that time, and the proportion of the pills split will have to be changed back to the original 30%.”

Zhang Sinan was a bit dissatisfied and said with a cold expression, “Think it over yourself! If there is nothing else, go back first.”

Zhang Sinan gave an expulsion order, clearly dissatisfied with Chen Fei’s performance.
