The people from the Green Blade Sect, Lin Miao didn’t move against them. Of course, when he first infiltrated, he killed quite a few, but for the remaining ones, he wasn’t confident he could take them all down.

Especially Du Heng, who was at the top of the Blood Fusion Realm. Lin Miao wasn’t sure he could kill him. Once he got into a tough fight, it would be difficult to escape.

In the cave on the back mountain, he still had Mr. Xie to bring back.

So, before the Green Blade Sect people could arrive, he decisively looted the spoils and left. After all those killings, should he leave these valuables for the Green Blade Sect?

He looted all the valuables from Ye Mi Yuan and the Huang Family members.

This is just collecting a bit of interest first.

The rest of the account can be settled later.

...

Inside the cave.

In the emergency medicine Lin Miao prepared, he used rhino horn (which he plucked from the Xu Family), which is very effective in reducing fever. Lin Miao also gave him some anesthetics so Mr. Xie could rest well and have a good sleep.

When he woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Mr. Xie propped himself up and saw a pot hanging over the fire beside him, with a pot of porridge boiling inside, giving off a delicious aroma.

Mr. Xie swallowed a bit of saliva; the porridge smelled so good that it made his mouth water pathetically.

"Xie, you’re awake." Lin Miao came in cheerfully from outside, holding some clothes that looked like a servant’s.

Mr. Xie was currently wearing the clothes of a Green Blade Sect disciple, which he obviously couldn’t wear out. It would be troublesome if discovered.

He needed to change into ordinary clothing.

These were naturally things Lin Miao had picked up from the manor last night. After all, there was everything in that manor.

Including this pot in front of them, and the cooked food inside, were all conveniently taken.

In the middle of the night, the Green Blade Sect people didn’t dare pursue him. If they were split up, they would surely die. Even in the manor, they didn’t dare move alone, so it was easy for him to take these things from the kitchen. Both he and Mr. Xie needed to eat, especially Mr. Xie, who was so badly injured and needed something nutritious.

"Boss, making you worry again." Mr. Xie said as he saw Lin Miao, propping himself up with his hands, grinning despite the pain in his legs making him grimace.

"Just lie down and don’t move; the porridge needs to simmer for a while. I’ve put in a lot of cured meat."

Mr. Xie sheepishly smiled, "I could smell it."

"Mr. Xie, you really lucked out this time," Lin Miao reminded, "but in the future, when you leave the city, you can’t go alone anymore; safety has to be a consideration." Lin Miao said.

"Hiring bodyguards costs a lot of money, and we can’t ensure the loyalty of these guards. If it weren’t for running into so many of them this time, I wouldn’t have been caught..." Mr. Xie said.

"Let’s eat first. After eating, I’ll take you back to the city to recover. Don’t say that I didn’t give you an opportunity this time..."

Mr. Xie blushed.

This secret was only known to him and Lin Miao, but Mrs. Luu didn’t even look at him. He was just being one-sidedly affectionate.

"Boss, I still have matters unfinished..."

"It’s fine, I’ll handle the remaining matters. If necessary, I’ll hire someone else to share your work; we’re indeed short-handed."

"Can I bring two people over?"

"You’re not thinking of poaching from Yuanheng Pawnshop, are you?"

"Not really, just two brothers from before who weren’t happy at work and want to leave to find a better job."

"What about their character?"

Lin Miao prioritized character when employing, as the ability could be nurtured later on, but character issues were fundamental and must be impeccable.

"Their character is quite good, just a bit better than mine used to be."

"Alright, let them come. The salary will start at eighty percent of yours. If they perform well, we’ll discuss. If I find them slacking off, I won’t give them any face."

"Deal."

"The porridge is ready. I forgot the chopsticks, so you’ll have to make do." Lin Miao handed Mr. Xie a bowl of porridge and said, "Be careful, it’s hot."

"No problem, I’m not afraid of heat..." Mr. Xie eagerly drank it, burning his mouth in the process.

Lin Miao also served himself a bowl and slowly started drinking it; the night took its toll on him as well, and he was hungry too.

A pot of porridge, quite substantial in quantity, was split between the two of them, and they finished it all.

"In a while, I’ll carry you out. You know what to say when entering the city, right?" Lin Miao reminded him.

"I know, say I accidentally fell off a cliff on the mountain and broke my leg," Mr. Xie nodded and glanced at the rest of his injuries, "These are just scratches, going into the city is mainly to see a physician for my leg."

"Right, there are people at the city gate. We can’t hide our whereabouts, but don’t be too worried. Once inside the city, they won’t dare to act rashly." Lin Miao said.

"Boss, we can’t keep hiding from them forever, can we?"

"No need, I’ll find a way to deal with it."

...

Returning to the city, the soldiers at the gate naturally inquired about Mr. Xie’s leg, to which Mr. Xie responded as they had rehearsed.

There were no flaws.

In fact, unless you’re a wanted criminal, they wouldn’t bother with you.

Lin Miao also entered the city soon after.

The two of them returned to the city separately. Lin Miao found a large cart heading into the city, offered some silver coins, and had them take Mr. Xie along.

This kind of thing is simple.

He couldn’t let the people at the city gate see him entering the city with Mr. Xie, otherwise, those who came afterward would definitely suspect he was the one who rampaged in the manor.
