C7 Confusion in Peace City

Chapter VII: Confusion Peace City

"The scapegoat?" The old man frowned and said with some disbelief.

He had thought of many possibilities, and maybe this matter was just as troublesome as the others, but he had never thought of such a possibility. After all, the chaos within the Peace City, if one were to speak of it, it actually had nothing to do with those profound energy soldiers.

The battle between them would never come close to them, but all of this seemed impossible. After hearing his own granddaughter say this, the old man started to have some doubts.

"It's fine, if you want to return the rent, it's not something that's unacceptable. My Fang family might not be the strongest in the clan in the Peace City, but we still have some ability, so you just want to take away the account book. Just as Third Uncle said, this is bullying. " The woman calmly said.

"Then the person who gave the order must have a certain position in the Wanfa Battalion. If he couldn't even see this point, how could he have gotten to such a state? So, this was a method to kill, and what kind of person would make such an influential existence not dare to kill him with his own hands? "Could it be that it's not obvious?" Faang Qiaomu analyzed bit by bit.

If he didn't handle this situation well, it was very likely that the Fang Clan would be annihilated.

One had to know that, while a Fang Family might have a certain status in the Peace City, in terms of the entire Qin Empire, this one couldn't be a small family anymore.

Once he was successfully killed, the scapegoat to bear the brunt of the blow would definitely be the Fang family.

At that time, it was unknown whether the people behind the Fang family would be able to protect the Fang family or if they would be willing to protect the Fang family.

If that was the case, how could it be considered a good thing?

"Then what do we need to do next?" The lordmaster trusted Faang Qiaomu quite a bit, and he was well aware that this matter was as his granddaughter had said. The chances were extremely high.

She was the only calm person in the Fang family right now, so her opinion was naturally important.

"It is not difficult to resolve this matter …" Faang Qiaomu paused for a moment before she continued.

On the other side, Lin Yun became nervous as he knew the severity of the situation.

She dragged Xu Yan along and had no intention of enjoying himself as she headed straight for the Fang family estate.

If there wasn't any danger to his life, Lin Yun could still handle it. At most, he would just be targeted for a bit, but in the end, there was nothing left to be said.

Even if he had it now, it could still be considered a skill on the surface, right? However, the current situation made him rather nervous. If he really was targeted and even died, then there would be nothing left.

Honestly speaking, he was not afraid of death. After all, anything could happen on the battlefield, and when facing Barbarian Clan, even General Wanfa Battalion would not dare to say that he would definitely be able to live.

But, if it wasn't a battle, he definitely wouldn't be willing to see himself being killed by his own Qin Empire's people.

"Aiya!"

Suddenly, as he was running away, Xu Yan felt a heavy object hit him. Before he could stabilize himself, he saw a small beggar like sloppy-looking man fall onto the ground.

It looked like you were going to lose money if you bumped into me.

Xu Yan suddenly frowned. There weren't many idle commoners on this street. Most of them were either desperate criminals or merchants.

Why were the two of them so unlucky? Before they even reached the Fang family, something like this had already happened?

"It hit!" "Bang!"

"You're not allowed to leave, you're not allowed to leave, and you even want to escape after bumping into someone?" Xu Yan frowned and started to carefully observe the person.

There was a weird smell coming from his body. It was unknown how many days it had been since he had taken a bath, but his hair had risen to the point where it was covered with mud. He did not look like an expert with a frown.

The most important thing was that after a thorough investigation, Xu Yan did not find any signs of a Spiritual Force on his body. He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary little beggar.

"This Peace City, has it already become so chaotic that even such a person would dare to come out and touch porcelain?" Xu Yan couldn't believe it.

This kind of person could be said to be the lowest level of existence in the Peace City. A complete beggar, yet this kind of beggar dared to go against the crowd, regardless of whether they were humans, was he not afraid of death?

Cultivators rarely made a move against ordinary people, but in the end, it was still a feudal society. A cultivator who could not wait to raise his sword and kill a beggar, would definitely not receive any form of punishment.

"Pay up, pay up! Five taels of silver! If you don't have five taels of silver, I'll drag you to the official right now!"

"Are you all right? Frowning, Xu Yan leaned down and tried to help him up. " However, he was secretly vigilant.

This Peace City was not a good place. If it was an ordinary beggar, then it would be fine, but silver was nothing to cultivators, so he would just give it to them, as long as it did not delay time.

If not, it would be troublesome. Could it be that someone wanted to assassinate him?

Thinking about it again, this time it was going to be very troublesome. In the heart of the vice commander, it must be a dead end. He had already set up a trap. If someone wanted to assassinate him, wouldn't that be unnecessary?

Thinking of this, he felt slightly more at ease.

However, at that moment, Xu Yan widened his eyes and looked at the beggar in front of him in disbelief.

He felt the beggar reach his hand into Xu Yan's chest in the blink of an eye, and a hard thing appeared in his arms.

He withdrew his hand like lightning and the item remained in his bosom.

Xu Yan didn't know what this was, nor did he know what was going on. However, when he saw the smile on the beggar's face, he finally understood a little bit.

It seemed this beggar was not simple. To be able to attack so fast, without a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, it was impossible for him to do so.

Moreover, even after he found out about it, he still didn't have the slightest reaction to it.

But because of this, his heart was finally at ease. Even if this person wanted to kill him, he would still meet with resistance, but in the end, it would not be troublesome.

The difference in strength was huge. Even if Lin Yun and the others worked together, they still wouldn't be his match.

However, he did not do so. In that case, it could only mean that at least from the current situation, he was not his enemy.

"This is five taels of silver. Go find a doctor to see if you have any injuries. If it's not enough, come find me at Wanfa Battalion. I will not go back on my word." Xu Yan smiled.

He did not know the true identity of this beggar, but no matter what, he still had to take care of this scene.

If he was here to help him, he would definitely come into contact with him again in the future. And this sentence, in front of Lin Yun and the crowd, became the best cover for him.

As a result, it did make a lot more sense.
