Chapter 86: Ominous Signs of Murder

  Yang Guang and Li Pangzi left with a flick of their sleeves, the former expressionless, the latter's face gloomy, extremely disappointed.

  Before long, Hu Banzhen walked over with a gloomy face.

  Three people met in secret at a secluded corner of Fog Willow Town.

  "Hu Bansi, is this your plan? Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!"

  Li Baozi rushed up fiercely, grabbed Hu Banshan's collar with one hand, and slapped him in the face without saying a word.

  Bang!

  The sound is extremely loud.

  Hu Banzhen's face turned pale and iron-green, with a deep palm print left on it. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light, but he forced himself to hold back, and smiled apologetically:

  "Li Gongzi, this matter can't be blamed entirely on me. Yang Fan's medical skills indeed exceeded our expectations. At the critical moment, even Liu Manxiang, that cheap goods, went back on her word and abandoned the agreement we had previously made."

  "Hmmph!"

  Li Pangzi's anger had not dissipated, and he glared at him fiercely, sneering: "Who was it that made the plan sound flawless in the first place? Now we don't even have any dignity left on our faces. When we return to 'Yangjia Village', we'll still have to endure Yang Lian's ridicule and mockery."

  "Li Pangzi, let him go for now. This matter is indeed beyond expectation. The two Yang brothers are not easy to deal with. The previous Yang Fan doesn't need to be mentioned, and the current Yang Lei is completely arrogant and lawless, looking down on others, but in front of elders, he pretends to be extremely well-behaved, really cunning to the extreme."

  Yang Guang's expression was faintly discernible as he mentioned Yang Yue's name, his face clearly revealing a look of detestation.

  Li Pangzi let go of Hu Banzhen, also with a deeply hateful and resentful look: "This matter must have Yang Lei's involvement, relying solely on Yang Fan, how could he have such great ability."

  "Thank you, Master Yang. What should we do now?"

  Hu Banzhen said with a slightly frightened tone.

  When facing Li Baozi, he was superficially flattering, fearing not the person himself, but the power behind him, and in his heart actually despising and hating.

  However, when facing the new generation of "Southern Neighbor Yang Family", I unconsciously feel a pressure and have great respect for their true strength.

  The situation is already set, and all that can be done is to temporarily avoid its edge and seek another opportunity. At present, the Yang brothers are not ordinary, with the elder brother's medical skills being quite good, and the younger brother rising to fame as a genius.

  Yang Guang murmured.

  "Should we take action against their families or wait for an opportunity to get rid of Yang Fan."

  Li Pangzi's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

  Yang Guang said firmly, "Absolutely not! This is a great taboo in the cultivation world. Unless there's a deep and bitter hatred, one cannot harm the worldly relatives of cultivators. Besides, it's not just the Yang family that has relatives."

  As a cultivator, they usually leave behind some relatives, friends or descendants in the mortal world.

  In the Xianxia world, there is an unwritten rule that the grudges between cultivators cannot be extended to the mortal realm.

  Not only does Yang Fan have a family in the secular world, but Yang Guang also has an elderly mother who is enjoying her life.

  Hu Banshen also nodded and said, "This matter cannot be violated. The Yang brothers are both stubborn and decisive in their killings. If they are forced to desperation, the consequences will be unthinkable..."

  Li Pangzi gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I hate these two brothers to death. If there's a chance in the future, I'll get rid of them and capture that beauty Yang Hui Xin to play with..."

  At this moment, a sly little beggar walked over from afar and came before Yang Guang, saying respectfully: "Young master, I have something to report to you."

  The little beggar hastily leaned in close and whispered a few words into Yang Guang's ear.

  Yang Guang listened and his eyes flashed with a sharp glint, then he coldly sneered: "As expected..."

  ……

  On the other hand, Yang Fan left the town mayor's mansion with gold, silver and jewels awarded by Liu De-gui, amidst the pursuit and praise of the crowd.

  Before leaving, he had promised Liu Zhenchang that he would go to his house for dinner in the evening.

  "It's finally settled."

  Yang Fan let out a light breath, Tie Niu and Nan Gong Yu caught up with him, congratulating him.

  Nangong Yu smiled and said: "Young master's great kindness, I won't forget it. In the future, I will definitely recommend your 'Pu Ai Medical Hall' to fellow martial artists."

  Yang Fan bid them farewell with a kind face and parted ways soon after.

  At this moment, an old man in a linen robe with a medicine basket on his back, with a smile on his face, rushed to Yang Fan's side.

  "Zheng Medicine Master."

  Yang Fan was slightly surprised.

  "Yang Gongzi's medical skills are not ordinary, and he will surely become a famous doctor in the immortal world in the future. This old man will come to visit him again later and exchange some medical techniques."

  Zheng medicine master smiled and said, very much appreciated Yang Fan.

  "Zheng was wrongly praised, while Yang was sought after in vain."

  Yang Fan's face showed joy.

  "Right, Yang Medicine Master, three months later, the new star of this generation of 'Rain and Fog Manor' will go to 'Ghost Corpse Mountain' to find treasures in a thousand-year-old tomb. It's also a good experience. I and several other medicine masters have been invited to follow them, responsible for treating injuries and detoxification, just in case, and we'll get some pay too. If Yang Medicine Master is willing, when the time comes, I will strongly recommend you to go together, it's also a rare opportunity for medical practice exchange."

  Yang Yao Shi lowered his voice and said to Yang Fan.

  "Ghost Corpse Mountain?" Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, then his heart stirred and he replied: "Thank you, Master Zheng, for the offer. I'll consider it for a while."

  "Alright, it's settled then. I'll come visit you in a few days, Young Master Yang."

  After Zheng finished explaining these things, he left alone.

  "Rainy Fog Manor? Ghost Corpse Mountain?"

  Yang Fan returned home with a thoughtful expression.

  "Rainy Fog Manor" is a nearby force of Xianmen close to "Yang Family Fortress", the two forces are evenly matched, but Rainy Fog Manor's overall strength slightly surpasses Yang Family Fortress by half a move.

  The successive masters of the Rainy Fog Manor were all warlike, advocating for actual combat and training among their juniors. Every few years, they would send three younger brothers to a certain place for actual combat, which had become a convention.

  As for "Ghost Corpse Mountain", it is a rather controversial place, where there are rumors of many ghosts wandering around, with ancient tombs hidden underground that contain some rare treasures. In Yangjia Fortress and Rainy Mist Mountain Villa, this generation considers it a small forbidden area.

  Before long, Yang Fan brought these gold and silver treasures back home, gave some silver coins to the servants behind him, and sent them away.

  As soon as he entered the house, Yang Fan saw a young man standing proudly in the main hall with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a black robe and had an extraordinary air about him, with a hint of arrogance on his face.

  It's Yang Lei.

  "Little brother..."

  Yang Fan was slightly taken aback.

  "Can't I just go back?"

  Yang Lei's handsome face with clear-cut features had a hint of a smile on it, and he didn't look like a sixteen-year-old boy at all.

  He slowly said: "Yang Guang and Li Pangzi have both arrived at Wuliu Town, how could I not come? Besides, it's been a long time since I've reunited with my mother and sister."

  Yang Fan found that his mother and sister were both in the kitchen through sensory perception, so he pulled over a stool to sit down and said in a low voice: "You've come at just the right time."

  "Big brother, what's going on? Is there something I can help you with?"

  Yang Lei's inexplicable way.

  Yang Fan raised his hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he said word by word:

  "Help me kill him!"

  "No problem! Big brother is still the same as before, saving the world isn't your style."

  Yang Lei smiled and agreed to his brother's request without hesitation, seemingly excited.

  Yang Fanqi said: "Don't you ask, who is the person I want to kill?"

  Second update, summoning votes.
