Since one of the tires had been pierced, it was a good thing that I had a spare. As a man, it wasn't a difficult thing for me to do, and I easily changed it.
However, some people called the police and didn't allow us to leave. From a certain point of view, I had implicated them. Luckily, those people were only shot, and no one was killed.
Not long after, the police arrived. I didn't want to be taken to the police station, so I called Chief Qu. When he found out that the assassins were targeting me, he was very angry and wanted to issue an arrest warrant.
However, when he heard that I was one of the top fifty assassins in the world, he was a bit shocked, and told me some unwritten rules.
It turned out that the local police station didn't have the right to issue an arrest warrant for the top one hundred assassins in the world. They had to apply to the higher-ups. Once the news was made public, it might offend the authority of the assassin organization, and the consequences would be very serious.
Even if there were small casualties, they could only turn a blind eye to it and try their best to minimize the impact of the matter.
Chief Qu could deal with other things, but he didn't have the ability to deal with this matter. I didn't want to trouble him, so that he wouldn't get into trouble. Anyway, I was fine. After a while of recuperation, the violent energy that came from the Golden Snake Sword was slowly worn down by me.
If I could get my hands on that Golden Snake Sword, it would be great. With the Exquisite Soft Armor, I might even be able to fight against Master Ouyang!
However, I also had to recognize my own advantages. If I could cultivate the Yijin Scripture to the fifth cycle, that Gu Lang wouldn't be my opponent. The first half of the Yijin Scripture was a watershed. It was mainly used to lay the foundation. When I reached the fifth cycle, I would have unimaginable destructive power!
Although I didn't slack off in my cultivation recently, it was only to consolidate my foundation. Most of my focus was on my medical skills.
"Sigh, I'm sorry, Xiao Zhuang. I can't help you," Chief Qu said apologetically.
"It's okay, Chief Qu. I can deal with this myself. I called you mainly because I don't want to go to the police station," I explained.
The group of policemen that came just now wanted to take me there no matter what. They were very arrogant.
After talking to Chief Qu, I handed him the phone. He was scared and bowed. He didn't dare to make things difficult for me.
Just like that, we swaggered out of the orchard. On the way, I received a call from Curator Du.
"Little guy, are you being targeted by an assassin organization?" He went straight to the point.
Curator Du was indeed well-informed. I hesitated for a while before telling him about Leng Yue and Lone Wolf's assassination.
Without any surprise, he told me an old story.
It turned out that Leng Yue's master was Curator Du's old lover. However, due to certain reasons, they had separated more than ten years ago. When Curator Du found out that I was assassinated, he started to investigate the matter and discovered that it was Leng Yue who had accepted the mission.
Back then, when he saw Leng Yue, she was still a little girl. Many years had passed since then, and he was worried about her safety. After all, the assassins in the top fifty were not to be trifled with. Among them, there was no lack of people like Lone Wolf who were jealous of her.
After all, assassins had a kind of sympathy for each other. Leng Yue was a beautiful woman who could be aloof and charming at the same time. It was normal for her to have some pursuers.
To resolve this misunderstanding, Curator Du was thick-skinned enough to contact Leng Yue's master. He asked her not to go against the Dragon King's Temple and not recognize him.
That was why I had seen the scene just now. No wonder Leng Yue didn't hesitate to leave. On the one hand, she was afraid that Lone Wolf would change his mind. On the other hand, she wanted to leave the Exquisite Soft Armor to me!
In other words, in three days, I would have to fight against old man Ouyang. With this treasure, my fighting power would be greatly increased.
I knew it. Leng Yue wouldn't fall in love with me just because she had helped me. Perhaps, she didn't want to admit defeat, so she wanted to get up from where she fell. However, not long ago, she had received her master's order. Of course, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Uncle Du, thank you so much. You saved my life again."
These were my heartfelt words. Compared to the Blood Demon who was always trying to squeeze my benefits, Du Hongchen was the one who was always thinking about me. If it wasn't for him secretly helping me, even if I could survive, the Exquisite Soft Armor would have been taken away.
"It's fine. You've improved very quickly. I've heard about that Lone Wolf. He's only a step away from the top 30 in the world. There's no need to doubt his ability. Of course, you don't need to be discouraged. That kind of person has received professional training since he was young. Coupled with his combat experience, it's not strange for him to be defeated." Du Hongchen consoled.
"Sigh. If it wasn't for his Golden Snake Sword, I wouldn't be able to defeat him. I could at least be on par with him. Uncle Du, how did you get that mid-rank weapon?" I was especially curious about this.
After that, Du Hongchen continued to explain to me that things like refined weapons were just like Inner Cores; they could only be found by chance and not sought. Even a low-rank refined weapon could increase a martial artist's battle prowess by a whole new level, not to mention a mid-rank refined weapon.
In the thousands of years of Hua Xia civilization, there were some extremely famous divine weapons. They were basically the masterpieces of famous ancient blacksmiths. They had spent their entire life's blood and sweat. Of course, there were only a few weapons that could be passed down to the present day!
I could only say that I had lost with honor!
Hearing Du Hongchen's consolation, I felt a little better.
"By the way, I just got the news. This morning, there was a coffee-colored MPV that went near the military area. However, it didn't enter the military area. It seems that Shangguan Jie also went out. I don't know what he's planning," Director Du suddenly said.
"Ah, could it be the Ouyang Family's reinforcements?"
It was obvious that they wanted to avoid the spies. If they went to the military area, then there would be too many people and the news might leak out.
The Ouyang Family was really meticulous. They did everything flawlessly. Now that the military area had blocked the news, the outside world seemed to be normal, but everyone was panicking. All the forces in the province were guessing whether something had happened to the commander-in-chief.
But they only dared to think about it. Before there was any evidence, no one dared to jump to a conclusion. Otherwise, it would be the same as slandering the Ouyang Family.
All these suspicions would surface at the banquet three days later.
I was looking forward to it more and more. I heard Director Du say that the fairy teacher had also received an invitation. This undoubtedly added another bargaining chip. Once the Ouyang Family did something out of line, it would be the same as playing with fire.
It was obvious that the Ouyang family had been forced into a corner. Ever since I had humiliated the Ouyang father and son during the finals, this matter had become a hot topic among the audience. As for whether or not this marriage could proceed smoothly, there were too many things that mattered!
