Chapter 325: Chapter 318 The Flaw of Being Too Perfect_1

“`

Massacring a family, even if just a local gentry, is absolutely an unethical act.

Fang Lian, the young master of the Fang Family, now temporarily in charge of the Fang Family, had a very sensitive identity.

He naturally shied away from such reputation-damaging, immoral affairs.

Qin Niu was also pondering over how to deal with this matter.

Conceding some interests to a person of power? This method seemed fine, but it might not catch their fancy.

To be honest, he was reluctant to throw up the rich meat that had just reached his mouth.

He set off to Black Tiger City with He Lao Er.

The greatest threat to the He Family now was the escaped He Jun.

There’s a saying, “The barefoot are not afraid of the shoe-wearing.”

In the past, compared to the He Family with its large home and business, Qin Niu was just a barefoot man.

Now that the He Family had been exterminated by him, He Jun had become the barefoot man.

An enemy in the dark while I’m in the light poses a huge threat.

Qin Niu wasn’t afraid, but his two fiancées, Xiao Qing, and Green Ox would surely die if they encountered He Jun.

He would not rest easy until this man was disposed of.

“He Lao Er, this time I am helping you take the position of the He Family’s head, the biggest obstacle being He Lao San in the city. Do you need me to get rid of He Lao San for you?”

“Please, Master, help me get rid of Lao San!”

He Lao Er said respectfully.

“However, it’s not good to make a move inside the city, this matter may need further planning.”

Qin Niu was actually just testing He Lao Er’s attitude.

He had wiped out the He Family, and He Lao Er was willing to be his servant, never showing the slightest anger or hatred from beginning to end, which was very contrary to human nature.

Even a coward, afraid of death, would not be so compliant.

At the very least, he would show some resentment in secrecy.

He Lao Er’s perfect performance, in Qin Niu’s view, was actually the biggest flaw.

“I can lure Lao San out of the city, and then, Master, you can kill him.”

He Lao Er proposed this naturally.

Qin Niu stared into He Lao Er’s eyes and saw that his gaze was honest and his demeanor calm.

“Your plan is excellent.”

The two rode on horses and soon arrived at Black Tiger City.

After Qin Niu took a healing elixir that Fang Lian had given him, at first he felt a burning pain in the injured area. Gradually, the part became hot, and he could feel the injury rapidly healing.

Healing Pills might be expensive, but their effect was indeed remarkable.

Currently, the city gate was still closed.

No entry or exit was allowed at night, a rule that applied only to ordinary people.

Qin Niu was now a first-class noble, fully entitled to have the city guard open the gate for him in the middle of the night.

“Open the gate.”

He called from below the city wall.

“Who goes there?”

“First-class noble Qin Niu!”

Qin Niu lifted his identity badge high above his head, and after the soldiers on the city wall checked it, they opened the gate.

At night, only the smaller side gates were opened, as was customary.

“Much obliged.”

Qin Niu casually tossed some silver pieces over to the three city guards who had opened the gate, and their faces immediately lit up with smiles.

“Thank you, Master Qin!”

The soldiers guarding the city were insignificant figures.

This was itself a thankless job, and people with any significant status or position wouldn’t stoop to playing ‘doorkeeper’.

Qin Niu used to look up to these city guards in his weaker days.

Now, on the other hand, they could only look up to him as if gazing at the stars.

With He Lao Er in tow, he successfully entered the city, still some time away from dawn.

The streets inside the city were silent.

“Do you know where He Jun lives?”

Qin Niu asked He Lao Er casually.

Under Qin Niu’s gaze, He Lao Er was docile, not daring to lift his head.

“He Jun is an Innate Realm powerhouse of my He Family, with multiple residences in the city. Although I hold a position in the family, I am not privy to the affairs of Innate Realm powerhouses. He Lao San, who manages the city’s assets, might know about this.”

“`

“Lead the way!”

Qin Niu coldly spat out two words.

“Yes!”

He Lao Er didn’t dare to disobey and, after discerning the direction, led Qin Niu to where He Lao San lived.

“Lao San holds an official position in the city and sometimes stays in the official residence. Would you now like to go to his home or the official residence?”

“Let’s go to his home.”

After Qin Niu finished speaking, he added, “Just proceed directly, I will follow you secretly.”

“Understood.”

He Lao Er honestly led the way at the front, walking straight ahead without ever looking back to check.

Qin Niu watched He Lao Er’s retreating figure but did not actually follow him.

Instead, he went straight to seek out Xiao Qing and Wang Wanyan.

“Fourth, can you sense the location of that Termite on the carriage?”

“Yes!”

Fourth wiggled the antennas on top of his head.

As an Insect Master, tracking a person should be an easy task.

Qin Niu had left a Termite on the carriage in the beginning just in case there were any emergencies so he could promptly find Wang Wanyan and Xiao Qing.

Now, it had indeed come in handy.

Under Fourth’s guidance, Qin Niu quickly arrived in front of an inn.

Wang Furen was merely an ordinary rich peasant from the countryside, not even qualifying as a wealthy household, so naturally, he could not afford to own property in the city.

The doors of the inn were closed.

Qin Niu knocked on the door knocker, and after a while, a somewhat groggy voice came from inside.

“Who is it?”

“Staying overnight.”

Qin Niu replied with just two words.

“Coming, coming.”

Hearing that there was business, the inn’s staff quickly opened the doors.

Qin Niu looked around and spotted the He Family’s carriage.

“Which rooms did the guests who arrived on that carriage last night stay in?”

“Uhm… it involves the privacy of our guests; we can’t reveal that.”

The server refused to tell.

“Can you tell me now?”

Qin Niu took out some silver pieces.

“Honored guest, please don’t make it difficult for me; our inn has rules against disclosing guest information.”

“Humph, open your eyes wide and look carefully. If you prattle on, I’ll tear down your inn.”

Qin Niu took out his waist badge.

“Oh my, so you are Master Qin! Those guests are staying in two rooms upstairs; I’ll lead you there right now.” After seeing Qin Niu’s waist badge, the server nearly wet himself with fear.

A first-class noble like that wielded absolute authority in Black Tiger City, and he, a mere inn server, would never dare to offend even slightly unless he was tired of living.

Upon reaching the second floor, Qin Niu directly called out, “Xiao Qing, are you asleep?”

“It’s the Master!”

Xiao Qing, elated to hear Qin Niu’s call, rushed to open the door. At the table inside sat Wang Wanyan, who now stood up with delight at the sight of Qin Niu.

“Ah Niu!”

Wang Wanyan ran over and flung herself into his arms.

“You have nothing to do here now; go downstairs!”

Qin Niu ordered the server bluntly.

“Yes!”

The server quickly turned and descended the stairs, understanding that this esteemed Master Qin must be acquainted with that incomparably beautiful young lady.

He didn’t dare linger and intrude.

Such celestial beauty, only a noble person like Master Qin deserved to possess.

The server’s heart was full of envy.

“You and your father will stay in the inn for the time being; the matter with the He Family hasn’t been completely resolved. I came especially to check on you both to ease your minds,” Qin Niu said, embracing her.
