Chronicles of Daoist Fan - Chapter 103

An hour later, inside Lingling’s room.

”So that’s why you had disappeared for such a long time…” Ling’er came to this conclusion after I told her that I have been tangled with a mafia group. I had also told them how they wanted me to seduce the young miss of Sheng family.

If there was any lie in what I had said, then it was the fact that I couldn’t, due to my own personal reasons, seduce Sheng Yin. We talked with each other and made relations but didn’t make love.

If in the future they met Sheng Yin and saw her become intimate with me, they would think that she had naturally fallen for me. At that time, I would have numerous girls around me and it would be a hassle keeping it a secret from each other.

I had to quickly reach Meridian Opening and practice a bewitching technique. That would solve all things. My improvement was already speedy, however. I had broken through to fifth rank.

Now, I really wanted to have a fight with someone or something because that was the best way to familiarize with and grasp newfound powers. Still, I planned to wait until tomorrow.

”So what are we going to do now, big brother?” Chunu was sitting beside Ling’er, their shoulders touching.

Lingling had been more than a little surprised by how quickly my sister became able to move around. However, she mistook the heat on Chunu’s body as an increasing fever, worrying more instead.

”We can’t stay in this Martial House. Blood Fang mafia will target you two as well,” I answered my sister’s earlier question. ”They have the Wang clan behind them, so they don’t fear the elders of this Martial House. I think elder Gamu is actually one of Qin Mao’s men.”

The last sentence was my paranoid thought. I couldn’t help but think that it was the truth as time went by.

However, where to go? I didn’t have much money at the moment, it all went on buying my sword and the stuff that was in the bags lying on the floor.

I rested my chin on my right palm, leaning on the springy couch as I thought deeply. We couldn’t stay in hotels, everything was expensive in this city. The CangGong courtyard had to be under constant scrutiny by now.

Heck, Qin Mao himself might be there. The chances were low as city guards patrolled around that place from time to time. A luxurious abode such as CangGong courtyard was, of course, in a high-class place.

It all depended on the criminals’ reach. If they could bypass the guards by bribing or threatening, then that would be dangerous.

Hmm… maybe I was thinking too much. These guards, although only being practitioners, were fierce and commanded by the City Protector Long Jung himself. No way they could be threatened or bribed by mere criminals.

‘Still, I should check on Feng Yi later.’ Just as I had this thought, Ling’er spoke her mind. She had also been thinking.

”If its so, then I… might know a place.”

Lingling, clad in pure white robes, stood up and came beside me. She sat really close to me, crossing her thighs. Her weight sank on the couch’s covering, making long creases she leaned towards me, whispering, ”Do you remember that thing about finding a young miss to take advantage of her?”

Ah yes, that thing! We did have a talk about it.

”Yes.” I spoke aloud. There was no need to whisper, only making Chunu sad here. Look at her, she felt isolated.

”You don’t have to hide it Ling’er,” I said and stood up. I patted my sister and rubbed her forehead. It wasn’t as hot now.

”Little Nu knows how I’m like.” I put on my sly smile and turned my head to Lingling who felt somewhat guilty for acting secretive. ”So then, tell me who did you find?”

Lingling also stood up and picked her sheathed sword that was lying on the bed. Unlike me, she and Chunu liked to tie their swords to their waists. Ling’er did just that and faced us. She then closed the windows, and blew out the other lanterns, keeping only one lit.

What was this foreplay now? Chunu and I were confused. I helped my sister stand up and she leaned on me, gazing at Ling’er picking up the bags from the floor. Finally, she opened her mouth and these words brushed past her careful yet enticing lips, shocking both of us.

”Third young miss of Fu clan, she owes me a favor.”

Clan, she said. CLAN! Just how, where and when did she get to know a person with such powerful backing? I had many questions but kept them sealed under my throat.

”She won’t help us get rid of the mafia group but we can hide in a place she owns.”

Good enough. I wasn’t really concerned about myself as I was a master in hiding from my enemies. I could practically take anyone’s identity if I really worked on it.

Lingling opened the doors and we exited one by one.

It was midnight, all silent. No one would see us leaving the corridor, or so we had thought. Who the heck was that in the empty hall? He seemed lost, having vacant eyes.

”Goddess Chunu…” I recognized that voice.

We didn’t hide. It was just one creep. I walked over and the girls followed me. The simp trainee from earlier noticed us only when I was about to punch him. He was half-asleep, running towards the girls while completely ignoring me.

I didn’t even have to punch him as he immediately stumbled and cried in pain. However, I was too late to seal his damn mouth.

”Let’s go. Someone will come come to check now.” I waved my hands in irritation and ran ahead. But, I suddenly realized that Chunu couldn’t run in her state.

I went back, untied my sword from my back, and made Lingling carry it. Her hands were already full with the bags but they were small and not that heavy for a Viscera Purifying practitioner.

”Big brother, I ca-” Her legs were still a little shaky.

”No you can’t, we’ll only be delayed if I don’t do this.” I held her hand, turned over and pulled her to my back.

”Mmkay…” My sister’s soft breasts pressed on my back as I lifted her thighs. Carrying her, I started walking downstairs. Chunu laid her chin on my shoulder and hugged my back.

The lighting wasn’t so bright around the staircase and the ground floor was empty as well. We heard some hard working practitioners still training inside their rooms.

However, these rooms had thick walls, so the sounds were subdued. Otherwise, Lingling would have heard Chunu’s moans when I was ‘treating’ her.

I let Ling’er lead me after we left the five-story pagoda. As we came outside, we heard distinct noises of summer crickets mixed with the howling of an occasional wind.

I looked up and found no stars on the night sky. The clouds had covered their radiance from being seen. It might rain tomorrow, maybe in just a few more hours.

To our left was the Mission Hall and the Resource Hall while to our right there were more pagodas behind a large training ground.

We went straight, reaching the trees and then the meadow before the temporary dorms. There was no one in that building.

”Shh.” I suddenly stopped Ling’er. With my spirit sense, I had seen someone. It was Zhao Peng, returning to the Martial House.

With nowhere to hide, he immediately saw us. First, he mistook us for intruders but when Ling’er showed her trainee token, he started getting annoying.

”Shu Lingling and Zui Fan, it’s forbidden to move around after midnight,” He said. Finally someone who was not a simp.

I knew that rule but it was easy to byass. ”We are going on a mission.” I came before him. I actually wanted to take an impossible mission before leaving. That would explain if we didn’t return in the future but it was already so late.

Zhao Peng seemed suspicious and kept staring warily at Chunu who was already fast asleep on my back. ”Why now?” He asked.

”Do you have a problem with that?” I narrowed my eyes. As a rank 2 Viscera Purifying practitioner, he was only getting in trouble by blocking my way. I didn’t want to fight at this hour as it would only make a commotion but if it came to that, then I might break his bones.

Thankfully, this Zhao Peng was mindful of my rank. He knew that he couldn’t win against me and went his way. There was also Ling’er and not to mention Chunu who was at rank 8. He didn’t want to wake her up.

I snorted. ”Let’s go.”

The gate before us was closed but as practitioners, it was a child’s play to leap over. There were no gatekeepers because anyone who intruded the First Sky Martial House had to face about a 1000 strong trainees. It was like stepping to a dragon’s lair, only a fool would try to trespass.

”It’s in the western district.” Lingling’s voice entered my ears as we started running. The streets of Xuahour at night were dangerous. The quicker we reached that place, the better it would be.

I also planned to go to the forest at noon to hunt down a few demon beasts. There was also the thing about meeting Bina and Lina in the evening. I also had to go check on Feng Yi.

‘Ah, I will be very busy tomorrow.’
