C4 Dawn

White River Town.

The streets of the shops were bustling with noise and activity.

"Cake, cake, delicious cake!"

"Come and have a look, come and see the real Pu'er, the authentic good tea!"

"Divination, calculated as a small payment of a few liang, calculated as not paying at all!"

Of course, in this bustling city, other than the shouts, there were also a few neighbors who were chatting about recent events in the teahouse tavern.

At Pleasant House.

A few cups of tea.

Chatterbox.

Not deep.

"I heard that Mayor Li's son seemed to have been killed!" An old man wearing a grey robe softly said to his friends.

"I also heard about this matter. It was said that he grew up in the Liu family's metal shop. It seems to be done by a youth named Sun Yan!"

"Then he will be in trouble. Not only will he be in trouble himself, but the Liu Clan will also be in trouble!"

"Hur hur, that may not be the case!" At this time, an old man who seemed to know something said, with a chuckle.

"Oh, Old Zhang, so you're saying!" The grey robed old man from before had a suspicious look on his face, as if his interest had been piqued.

"Don't you know? It's just a few days ago, an immortal came to us! "

"I know. Isn't it just the son of Mayor Li that was chosen? Isn't he going to send him to cultivate to become an immortal?" The gray-clothed elder said, "But what does this have to do with anything?"

"What kind of relationship? Hah, what kind of relationship is that?" The man named Old Zhang could not help but sneer, and continued: "That immortal did not choose Li Ba alone, but two people. The remaining person, is Liu Hu, and you said that with the protection of the immortal, how could their family be alright?!

"So that's how it is!"

"..."

At this moment, in another teahouse, not far from the old man and the others, in a teahouse, a black-robed young man wearing a bamboo hat suddenly lit up his eyes when he heard the old men's words. After that, he stood up, paid the money, and left the teahouse!

On the way, he intentionally avoided a few patrolling officials and guards before returning to his inn. Very soon, he closed the door and windows, and with great care, he slowly took off his bamboo hat!

And this person, was actually — Sun Yan!

He slowly laid on the bed, and looked at the sky above the room. After a long while, Sun Yan's expression, as though he had some strong suspicions, made him softly sigh.

"It seems like it is a wise decision to go to the teahouse to inquire about the information. However, I am not too sure why he is doing this. Could it be that it has something to do with immortals?" Otherwise, why would he hide the matter that he was chosen by the Immortal from me? " Sun Yan muttered, and a faint unease appeared in his eyes for some reason!

"Now, if I want to find out the truth, I have to see him again!" Speaking to himself till here, Sun Yan was probably a little tired. He immediately emptied his mind, and his eyes gradually closed, but before he could fall asleep, a wave of chaotic noises suddenly entered his ears!

This made his mind stir, and he immediately got up and went to his own door. He listened carefully, and suddenly heard the footsteps of several people, but among the footsteps, there was the inn's voice, and even though the shopkeeper was speaking softly, Sun Yan's ears were sharper!

"Right, right. The person in the portrait. He's been living here for two days!"

"Honored officials, I'm not hiding a fugitive. It was all an accident, please take him away quickly!"

"I'll take good care of everyone in two days!"

Listening up to here, if Sun Yan still did not know what was going on, then he was an absolute idiot. With that, he no longer hesitated and turned his eyes around slightly, as his gaze immediately landed on the room's window!

… ….

In the blink of an eye, night arrived!

Although the cold air was not very threatening, it was still difficult to endure. That was why after nightfall, the people of White River Town had long since turned off their lights and went to sleep!

However, late at night, a thin figure slowly appeared in a patch of dense grass. He carefully observed his surroundings and looked in a direction. Using the darkness of the night, he started to move quickly …

Before long, they had arrived at a place called the Liu Family Metal Shop.

He took a look at the metal shop and fell silent for a moment. Then, he sneakily crawled in through the window!

This iron grade equipment shop could not be considered big, but it had two rooms. One was where Liu Hu's father lived, and the other was where Liu Hu lived.

However, the moment he entered, he felt as if he had been discovered by someone inside. He heard a deep and powerful voice suddenly shout in fear, "Who is it!"

"Liu Hu, don't shout, it's me!"

"You?!" Liu Hu was familiar with the sound, but he quickly reacted, with some surprise, he immediately lit a candle in the vicinity, and when the light lit up again, he finally looked at the person from Qing Yun, but at the moment, he was even more confused, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sun Yan?!"

"Un, it's me!" The person who had come was naturally Sun Yan.

"Didn't you leave this place? Why did he come back? Don't you know you're wanted outside! " Liu Hu frowned, and quickly replied.

However, when he heard Liu Hu's somewhat impatient words, a strange feeling appeared in Sun Yan's heart. He did not immediately reply to Liu Hu, but only looked into Liu Hu's eyes, as if he wanted to see something …

"What's wrong?!" Being stared at by Sun Yan like that, Liu Hu asked with some astonishment.

"Nothing! I just want to tell you something! " After pondering for a moment, Sun Yan said.

"What is it?!" Liu Hu was stunned, but his eyes seemed to contain something.

"Before!" Sun Yan was silent for a moment, then said with a complicated expression: "I have a guess, I don't know, whether I should say it out loud …"

"Speculation?" "Hahaha!" Liu Hu's expression changed, he seemed to not know what was going on, but he walked to his own door and laughed: "Even you think that it's a guess, I think, I'll say it after you figure it out, what do you think?"

"Do you believe me?" Suddenly, Sun Yan asked.

But when the question reached Liu Hu's ears, it made his body tremble, as though he did not have an answer to the question!

However, the most unexpected thing was that, at the same time, the surroundings of Liu Hu's room, were quickly being gathered … Unexpectedly, it was filled with soldiers, as though they only needed a single command, and would rush forward to capture Sun Yan!

… ….

Within the room.

Sun Yan looked around, his eyes extremely bright, as if he already knew something that he might not … In the end, his gaze landed on Liu Hu, sighed, and said: "Looks like this guess of mine, I can't not say it!"

"Still!" Suddenly, Liu Hu interrupted Sun Yan, and in the midst of all this confusion and conflict, he opened his mouth: "It's better, don't say anymore!"

Sun Yan remained silent and his gaze did not leave Liu Hu.

Now, facing Sun Yan, Liu Hu took in a deep breath, followed by a cold laugh, as though the simple and honest side of his body, had suddenly disappeared. Instead, it revealed a sinister look, causing Sun Yan's heart to tremble, as though he had recognized the wrong person!

"You?!" Sun Yan had only said one word, but that Liu Hu seemed to have lost all patience. He immediately faced his own door and knocked twice!

"If it's that weird, it's that weird... Your fate is not good! " The moment he said that, before Sun Yan could even react, countless torches lit up outside of Liu Hu's window. At the same time, at the big gate, Liu Hu actually instantly opened the door, and with a move of his body, he quickly retreated. Immediately after, in a blink of an eye, he closed the door tightly once again!

In this entire process, Liu Hu was extremely cold and detached, his speed extremely fast, as if he had planned this long ago!

And so, it was as if Sun Yan was the only one left in this room. But for Sun Yan, the predicament was not only that, if he looked again, he could completely see that, in Liu Hu's room, other than the walls, almost all the other exits, including the location where Liu Hu left, were being targeted. As a result, there was only one road left for him!

As for Sun Yan, who was in the room, he still remained silent as he watched Liu Hu leave …

… ….

Meanwhile, outside the house.

In front of the group of soldiers that surrounded the house, there was a fat man wearing a high-grade black official's uniform. He, was Li Ba's father, the mayor of White River Town — Li Ao!

And when he saw Liu Hu emerging from the house, his eyes shifted and he immediately turned to Liu Hu and asked: "How is it inside?"

Hearing that, Liu Hu pretended to be trembling, and half knelt on the ground, and said: Reporting to the mayor, I've already taken the bait!

"Alright!" Li Ao's expression revealed a slight ruthlessness and extremely strong hatred. Almost at the instant he said this word, his gaze moved to the surrounding officers and soldiers, as if he was hinting at something!

Of course, Li Ao had followed these soldiers for a long time, so how could he not know what they meant?!

Thus, at this moment, they started their operation without any hesitation. A group of people quickly picked up a few boxes of oil from the back, and immediately spilled it all over the room. Then, another group of people threw all the torches they had lit into the room.

Looking at this great fire, Li Ao's hatred seemed to gradually rise with it. He thought to himself in his heart, 'Kill my son, and I'll make you die without a complete corpse!'

Liu Hu's eyes reflected the intensity of the fire. He looked calm on the outside, but from the depths of his expression, it was clear that he was somewhat baffled!
