Chen Li flicked the wick of the oil lamp, sat down, and after a sip of tea, he was ready to continue studying the arrow avoidance talisman.
It's a pity that I still can't calm down no matter what.
He simply stood up and walked around on the same spot.
Regarding this matter, he suddenly felt that he had to think carefully about it.
First, are you really being monitored?
Second, if he is indeed being monitored, what is Qiao Guanyuan’s purpose?
Third, is this purpose malicious to him and does it pose a threat to his personal safety?
Fourth, if you don’t take any action, let it be monitored, bury your head in the sand like an ostrich and pretend not to know, is it the current optimal solution?
Fifth, if it is not the optimal solution, what should be done to achieve the optimal solution?
Finally, and most importantly, if the worst happens, do you have the strength to break the situation?
Of course, the premise of all the following questions is that you are really being monitored.
As for this issue, Chen Li found that it seemed not difficult to confirm.
If it is finally confirmed that it is still a misunderstanding, the worst thing to do is to apologize. If it is really malicious...
Thinking of the huge power of the Linghu Gang, he couldn't help but become more worried and scared the more he thought about it.
He is no longer alone now. He has concerns in this world. If he is surrounded by the Linghu Gang and is outnumbered... wouldn't they both die?
Chen Li's eyes flickered, and suddenly his face became grim. He took a few silent notes and stuffed them into his sleeves, then put on all the talismans and amulets. Finally, he picked up the long sword and walked out of the talisman-making room with light steps.
He put his ear to the door and listened quietly to what was going on outside.
The night is already dark.
It was extremely quiet outside, with only the occasional quiet chatter coming faintly from afar.
He gently pushed open a crack in the door, and when no one was paying attention, he hid in a dark corner in a flash. He was somewhat lucky to have chosen a gray robe, which was not conspicuous at all in the dark.
…
"Is your face still hurting?" Zhang Shouyi asked with a smile.
"Hiss, it started to hurt again as soon as I said it. That person was so cruel. My head is still a little dizzy even now." Wang Fugui said while gasping: "It's been all day and night. When is this day?"
It’s the head.”
"Who said the gang is tight lately? Although it's harder now, once the Giant Bear Gang is wiped out, we will be prosperous. If we stay up for a while, we can take a nap in the middle of the night." Zhang Shouyi comforted.
At this moment, a figure suddenly stepped out of the shadows.
The two of them were startled and just opened their mouths to scream.
When Chen Li coughed slightly, the two of them were in a daze. Before they could react, Chen Li stepped behind him and punched each of them hard in the back of the head.
The two of them had no power to resist and fell to the ground neatly.
Chen Li picked up one person's collar with one hand and quickly walked to a remote corner.
After walking more than a hundred meters, Chen Li stopped in a small forest.
He first collected all the magic weapons and talismans on the two people, then took out a mute note, and with a flick of his hand, the mute note burned out of thin air, and finally turned into a colorless light shield, covering everyone in it.
Chen Li slapped the casual cultivator he had beaten a few more times during the day.
Fortunately, the previous punch to the back of the head was not heavy. Wang Fugui groaned and woke up with a splitting headache.
"You!" Wang Fugui and others looked horrified when they saw Chen Li clearly.
"Let's continue asking the questions we didn't finish during the day. We have plenty of time now." Chen Li said expressionlessly: "Why are you monitoring me?"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what a misunderstanding. Didn't I tell you during the day that it was Lin Gui we were monitoring?" Wang Fugui was panicked and shouted to Qu Dao.
"Pop!" There was a crisp sound.
Chen Li slapped Wang Fugui hard again, hitting Wang Fugui with such force that his head buzzed and his mouth was filled with blood. Even the skin on his face was torn from the slap, revealing bright red muscles.
"wrong answer."
"I really didn't lie..."
"Pa!" Chen Li slapped him hard again.
Wang Fugui's teeth fell out from being slapped, and his eyesight turned black. He felt that he could no longer feel his face, and he was completely deaf in one ear.
"The answer is wrong again. There is one last chance. Why are you monitoring me?" Chen Li asked again.
Looking at Chen Li with an expressionless face and murderous eyes, Wang Fugui, who was beaten to the point of collapse, could not help but feel the fear of death in his heart.
He felt that if he answered wrongly this time, he would really die.
"I... I don't know... it's none of my business. It's all... the orders from Gang Leader Qiao. We are just following orders." Wang Fugui finally couldn't stand it any longer and said in a trembling voice, with tears and mucus mixed with blood flowing from his nose.
"That's a good answer this time. Think about it again. Think about it again. Why would Gang Leader Qiao spy on me? There must be a reason?" Chen Li said thoughtfully.
"I...I heard from Brother Zhang that Gang Leader Qiao is not happy with you and thinks you are a destabilizing factor." Wang Fugui said.
"do not like!?"
Just because you don't like it?
He stays at home every day, never leaving the door or taking any steps forward. He neither attracts anyone nor wants to provoke anyone, so he has become a factor of instability?
Chen Li smiled, with a hint of coldness in his smile.
"By the way, who is Brother Zhang!"
Wang Fugui tilted his head with difficulty and looked at Zhang Shouyi lying beside him.
"Understood!" Chen Li nodded.
"You...will you let me go?" Wang Fugui trembled, his eyes full of hope and desire to live.
Chen Li couldn't help but avoid his sight.
next moment.
As soon as there was a "squeak" sound, Chen Li reached out and pinched his neck.
Looking at the corpse with its head weirdly tilted and twitching violently.
"I'm sorry! I have no choice." Chen Li said softly.
At this moment, Zhang Shouyi, who was lying down, suddenly stood up and tried to run away.
However, just as he stepped forward, he saw a sword light flashing across the sun like a rainbow. His body shook, and his head fell to the ground. The headless body swayed in place for a few times, and then fell to the ground.
"I have noticed that you are dishonest a long time ago. I thought you would lie down until I made a move and attack you secretly." Chen Li said softly to the falling head.
It's a pity that there will be no response.
"Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?"
Chen Li sighed, found a clean place, and sat down, casually holding the sword he had just killed with in his hand.
The sword was spotless and not stained by any blood.
This time he was not as excited and nervous as the last time he killed someone.
Very peaceful.
Even my heartbeat didn't speed up much.
It seems like I'm used to it.
This damn world forces him to kill people.
When the corpse gradually stopped struggling, Chen Li stood up, peeled off the cleaner robe of the two corpses, put it on his body, and then tore off a strip of cloth and carefully covered his face.
