From their point of view, I had mercilessly rejected the leaders of the three parties, which meant that I wouldn't have a good ending. From this point, it was enough to prove that I had a guilty conscience and didn't have the ability to refine top-grade panaceas. I was just trying to make myself look good.
"Only in this way can I explain why I can resist the temptation. Even if I become the Chief Visiting Minister of a martial arts sect and even get the shares of the Hong Group worth tens of billions, it won't be long before the truth is out. By then, all the glory and wealth will be gone. Therefore, anyone with a little bit of intelligence will know how to choose."
After all, from Zhu Bingjia and Ling Li's respectful attitude, everyone understood the value of those panaceas. Anyway, they wouldn't believe that I had refined those panaceas even if they were beaten to death.
Although I wasn't recognized, I didn't want to prove myself. Because after meeting the young talents of the Medicine King Valley, I realized that the panaceas I had refined had reached the super level of the martial arts world!
Because of this, I had to keep a low profile. Otherwise, it would be easy to get into trouble. With my current martial arts strength, I was invincible in Jianghu. However, when facing the martial arts masters, I still felt a little weak.
Although most people wore masks to attend the trade fair, it didn't guarantee their personal safety. It was like entering a casino and leaving after winning a lot of money.
Even if the three parties didn't do anything to me, there would always be some ignorant scoundrels asking for trouble …
As soon as we walked out of the trading hall, Grandmaster Chen received a call. It turned out that something had happened at the new location of the martial arts dojo, so he was asked to go there. I was worried about Guan Ruolan, so I didn't go with him. I left the underground black market alone.
I thought that the Guan family hadn't eaten yet, so I found a restaurant and prepared to take some food to them. After all, except for Guan Ruolan who had just recovered her strength, the elders of the Guan family were all ordinary people. As the saying goes, 'Rice is steel'. If I skipped a meal, I would be starving.
Just as I was ordering, I suddenly felt a sense of danger. Soon, I heard an almost inaudible sound of something breaking through the air. I moved as fast as the wind.
"Pak."
A dark black dart was stabbed into the solid wood table next to him. The dart's body shone with a faint, cold light.
After a few seconds, the originally light yellow dining table turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, a crisp explosion sounded.
This sturdy table was actually split in two. The originally noisy hall quieted down. Everyone couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air. They were so scared that their bowls and chopsticks fell to the ground.
I didn't explain anything to them, and strode out of the restaurant. Even though that guy ran very fast, I still chased after him relentlessly. With the support of the two powers, my whole body seemed to be flying. Although it couldn't compare to any qinggong martial arts, it wasn't too far off.
In just one or two minutes, I could see the person in front of me clearly. I sped up and grabbed his shoulder, pulling off his robe. His body stiffened and he turned around. It was the face of a monster, with sharp fangs that glowed with blood. His eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets. It was a strong visual impact.
My heart skipped a beat. In that short moment, he waved his hand, and a hidden arrow flew towards me.
My instinctive reaction was to dodge, but I found that this hidden arrow had a tracking effect. I clenched my fist and condensed my astral energy.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself." The monster coldly snorted, revealing the indifference of victory in his grasp.
This arrow was the famous hidden weapon of the Tang Sect, the Heart Chasing Arrow. It was best used in a short distance. Once the Heart Chasing Arrow locked onto the target, there was no way to escape.
Even if the target was one or two levels higher than the user, it would still be difficult to gain an advantage!
The Tang Sect was originally famous for their hidden weapons. In Jianghu, they were known as the Southern Tang Sect and the Northern True Martial Sect. The prestige of the Tang Sect in Jianghu was enough to compete with the True Martial Pavilion.
In comparison, the Tang Sect wasn't as mysterious as the True Martial Pavilion, but it was the palace of martial arts that tens of thousands of warriors yearned for. After all, the method of fighting the enemy head-on was somewhat rigid. By using hidden weapons, one could completely kill without leaving a trace. This was also one of the highlights that many warriors favored.
In the next moment, I heard the sound of metal clashing. The person was obviously stunned. When he looked, the Heart Chasing Arrow that he was so proud of had already landed on the ground with a clatter.
He was shocked and angry at the same time. Without saying anything, he opened his mouth and sprayed an ink-colored liquid towards me. Although it was very fast, my reaction was faster and I easily dodged the poison attack.
Then, I surged an earth-shattering energy and locked it on his body. This guy was like a ferocious beast that was ready to attack, and my energy became an invisible cage.
"Roar." From his mouth came a sharp roar that sounded a little panicked.
"Hmph, pretending to be mysterious."
I raised my hand and covered his face. Very quickly, under the strong suction force, a realistic beast mask was torn off, revealing a delicate and handsome face. It looked like a sixteen or seventeen year old youth. However, on the left side of his face, there was a shocking brand, as if it had been burned by something like a soldering iron.
Aside from that, he was still quite handsome.
He panicked and covered the brand on his face, and glared at me. "What are you doing?"
"Heh, I think you have nothing better to do. Is it fun to scare people?"
I didn't answer him and asked him back. This mask was very intricately made. When I held it in my hand, it felt very real. If it was a child who saw it, he would probably have a psychological scar in his entire childhood.
"That is my freedom." The person said disapprovingly.
"Oh, according to what you said, tearing off your mask is also my freedom." I said indifferently.
"Stop talking nonsense. Since my assassination failed, if you want to kill me or torture me, it's up to you." The youth said angrily. He really couldn't understand why I could block the arrow with my fist.
