Chapter 41: Leaving a Message and Sneaking Out at Night

  Han Likuo didn't have that much time to wait, at most in another four or five months, Mo Dafu would thoroughly expose him, he must possess a certain degree of self-preservation ability before then.

  So he finally decided to cultivate only a few simple and easy-to-learn secret techniques that could be used immediately, and put the others aside for now. He would wait until he had truly escaped from the tiger's mouth before continuing his studies.

  This greatly shortened the time it took to cultivate, allowing oneself to learn several quick and easy-to-learn secret techniques as soon as possible.

  In fact, Han Li was also very clear that even if he mastered all these secret techniques without exception, it didn't necessarily mean he would be a match for his opponent.

  If Mo Daifu didn't lie last time, with the other party's previous overlord identity, I don't know how many ruthless and venomous methods were not revealed in the last conflict. The skills shown by the other party are probably only half of their true strength.

  Even so, Han Li couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart whenever he thought of that ghostly agility, and he was extremely wary of Mo Da.

  He knew in his heart that the limited things he had learned in a short period of time posed little threat to Mo Daifu, almost negligible. However, being captured and manipulated was something Han Li would never do.

  Han Li knew that if he were to engage in another physical confrontation, the only advantage he could gain would be from his opponent's underestimation of him. Only when his opponent became complacent and let his guard down, could Han Li seize the opportunity to strike unexpectedly and gain a slim chance of survival.

  In the following days, Han Li memorized all the Blinking Sword Spectrums and selected several secret techniques that were useful to him at present, starting to study them, trying to figure out a quick way to cultivate.

  After he racked his brains for several days, a complete set of cultivation methods was sorted out from the book. He was very proud of his high efficiency in completing such tedious work in such a short period of time.

  In the following half month, Han Li took care of some trivial matters one by one, making himself fully prepared and leaving no worries behind.

  He first returned the original manual to Lü Feiyu on a certain day, intact and unchanged, and took the opportunity to tell him about the encounter with the Wild Wolf Gang's spy. Of course, he also revealed that he had seen through the identity of the kitchen manager.

  Li Feiyu was overjoyed and surprised after hearing this, he immediately hugged Han Li's shoulders and repeatedly called him "good brother". He was deeply moved that Han Li would give him such a great opportunity for free.

  But he didn't know that Han Li was now busy with his own life, what mood did he have to catch the thief, if he could do it without using his own energy and effort, and also be a good person, why wouldn't he be happy to do so?

  After finishing the matter of Lü Fei's death, Han Li personally went to find several skilled blacksmiths in the city.

  There, they ordered several scabbard short swords of different styles and asked for some minor modifications to be made secretly on them. In addition, there were some unnamed parts that could not be used, and a few small iron bells were also required to be completed in the shortest time possible. For this, Han Li spent a considerable amount of silver, giving him a bit of a painful feeling again.

  A few days later, Han Li received the custom-made items from the blacksmith. Seeing the gleaming short sword and the small, exquisite iron bell, he was very satisfied, repeatedly praising the blacksmith's craftsmanship, feeling that his silver had not been spent in vain.

  That night, Han Li disappeared from his residence without a trace, leaving behind only a note on his bed that read:

  "Mister Mo, you don't have to be anxious or angry. I'm not running away or hiding, it's just that being in the same valley as you is too oppressive and not conducive to my cultivation of Long Spring Skill. Therefore, I've decided to find a quiet place on the mountain to close myself off and cultivate. You can rest assured, on the same day four months from now, I will return on time to meet with you."

  Han Li pays respects

  Leaning against the back of the armchair, Dr. Mo held a note in his left hand, carefully examining it, with a gloomy expression on his face. On the table beside him lay another note, recording the order list that Han Li had just placed with the blacksmith.

  At this time, inside the house, apart from Mo Daifu's right hand fingers lightly tapping on the table with a "popping" sound, there was no other sound.

  Suddenly, he let out a cold snort and the paper slip in his hand turned into scraps, scattering all over the floor.

  He got up irritably, walked a few steps in the house, furrowed his brow and thought about something, after walking back and forth several times, he stopped and muttered to himself:

  "Little rabbit, although I don't know what kind of trick you're playing, no matter what tricks you want to play, you can't escape my palm. This person is mine."

  After finishing speaking, Mo Dafu suddenly turned around and walked to the window. A low, long whistle sounded in his mouth, and a yellow-feathered nameless small bird flew in from outside the window, circled around the room several times, and landed on his shoulder.

  The little bird stood still for a moment, then affectionately rubbed its beak on his face, making a clear "gulu gulu" sound.

  "Alright, I know you're hungry. Here, this is your favorite 'Chestnut Ball'."

  The doctor's gloomy face showed a few smiles, and his eyes revealed a doting gaze. He took out a grain of yellow bird feed from his pocket and stuffed it into the little bird's mouth.

  "Go, as before, and follow that person closely. As soon as he leaves the mountain range, fly back immediately and tell me." Mo Dafu instructed, as if speaking to a human.

  The little bird, upon eating the food, excitedly "chirped" and flew around the room, after hearing his words, circled once, and suddenly flew out of the window, disappearing into the sky.

  "Hmph! With the surveillance of the 'Cloud Wing Bird', which is said to be even faster than a strong bow's arrow, I'd like to see what tricks you can come up with." He muttered ominously to himself.

  "Four months? I've been waiting for this day to come, and it seems like the plan is going to succeed! Now, whoever dares to stand in my way and obstruct the implementation of the plan, I'll kill him. If gods block my way, I'll kill the gods; if Buddhas block my way, I'll kill the Buddhas."

  "Haha! Haha!" Mo Dafu suddenly burst into a mad laugh, his eyes filled with a crazy look.
