Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 242: Sleepless Night (4)
When Shen Qinglan escaped back to the dilapidated house, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, kicked the wooden door open with a foot, only to find the room empty.
"Could it have been my imagination just now?" She frowned and was about to head back to the front yard to find Duan Yunfei when she sensed someone approaching.
The fierce wind blew through, and the door she had kicked open slammed shut with a "bang".
"Little girl, you sure escaped quickly!"
Two shadows landed in front of her, their voice carrying a hint of disdain.
Shen Qinglan sneered, "Lightning didn’t send you to the underworld, and yet you’re in such a hurry to get there yourselves."
"Such arrogance from a wild girl, but you are unlucky to have run into us today." One of them said, "Rest assured, considering your young age, we’ll leave your corpse intact."
"Is that so?" Shen Qinglan chuckled, "Thank you then, for your kindness, I’ll leave your corpses intact too."
The other one impatiently said, "Stop wasting time with her, they’re waiting over there, let’s finish this quickly."
There were two "bang" sounds, and the two who were about to draw their swords suddenly fell straight to the ground.
"For the sake of the Heavenly Dao, I was willing to let you off, but you are so reckless with your lives?" Shen Qinglan sighed softly as she holstered her gun.
She had just taken a few steps when she heard a "boom"—a loud explosion—at the spot she had just been standing, struck by lightning.
Shen Qinglan: ...
If she had been a bit slower...
If not for the sake of the thunder and lightning, she really wanted to curse the heavens.
"Qinglan!"
Shen Qinglan turned her head to see Duan Yunfei running toward her.
She met him and asked, "Did you handle things on your side?"
"It was just a few ants, all taken care of." Duan Yunfei grabbed her wrist and asked, "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine." She glanced at the bodies on the ground, "It’s just that these two corpses might need dealing with."
"Leave it to me!"
Duan Yunfei took a small porcelain bottle from his chest, poured the powder over the bodies, and a sizzling sound ensued, the bodies melting into blood and washing away with the rain.
She had heard of Corpse Dissolving Powder in her past life, but had never seen it.
The last time Xuan Ming took it out, she meant to ask but forgot, and now seeing it again, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of irony.
This is truly the perfect thing for destroying bodies and wiping out traces!
Duan Yunfei pulled her along to head back, "Let’s get back to the inn to wait out the rain."
In the inn, aside from the mess of toppled tables and chairs, none of the shadows were to be seen.
"All taken care of?" Duan Yunfei asked.
"Yes." Xuan Ming nodded, "All settled."
"This place is no longer safe to linger." Yan Yijie said, "We should leave here as soon as possible!"
No matter how strong their martial arts, they couldn’t withstand this continual depletion of inner strength!
One batch after another, who knows when it will end.
"Yes." Duan Yunfei agreed with a nod, "Everyone pack up, let’s leave here as soon as possible."
After packing, just before leaving, Xuan Ying specially left a piece of silver as compensation for the damaged tables and chairs.
On the carriage, Yan Yijie pondered, "Those people just now, although wielding scimitars, didn’t seem to be from the Heavenly Killer Sect."
Duan Yunfei said in a low voice, "Someone likely knows of Qinglan’s grudge with the Heavenly Killer Sect and disguised themselves as members to mislead us."
"People of the Jianghu, though most assassins do not reveal their identities, would never stoop to such despicable acts." Le Zhao sneered, "Of those who would do such a thing, I can only think of one person."
