MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill-Chapter 100 Zhou An: No longer low-key

Chapter 100 Zhou An: No longer keeping a low profile

 Under the dark street, there is a woman in black currently running towards her.

 Behind the woman in black is a human-shaped object made of unknown metal.

 The humanoid object holds a man in its hands.

The jolting sensation increased sharply while running, and the unconscious man gradually woke up.

Yu Hang transitioned from vague consciousness to wakefulness, looking at the rapidly regressing streets around him with a look of shock on his face.

 He remembered that when he was in the dark in the room, he was knocked unconscious by a puff of smoke.

Yu Hang raised his head and looked around. He happened to see the woman in black running in front and couldn't help shouting.

 “Who are you? What do you want to do?”

 The receding scenery around him suddenly stopped. Mi Mo turned his head and looked at Yu Hang who was waking up, showing a mysterious smile.

"you're awake."

Yu Hang always felt that the current scene was very dangerous, especially the iron bump behind him, which hurt a little.

Moreover, the woman in front of me seemed to exude a dangerous aura.

"Shouldn't I... wake up?" Yu Hang asked cautiously.

 Since the emergence of the Beast Cult, he felt that he was very unlucky and encountered danger one after another.

Although the danger is saved every time, it is thrilling enough every time.

Now that he was kidnapped for no apparent reason, he felt that he would have to go to the temple to burn incense someday.

 Of course, the most important thing is to solve the current dilemma first.

“It’s okay if you wake up, just faint immediately.” Mi Mo said seriously.

With these words, Yu Hang could feel that Tie Qiao behind him raised his hand, as if he wanted to knock him out.

“Wait! Give me a reason at least!” Yu Hang said quickly.

Mi Mo paused for a moment, thought about it, and showed an interested smile: "The reason is very simple. I want your friend to participate in this casting competition, but he seems to be very casual, so I can only force him."

"Why?" Yu Hang said speechlessly: "Why do you all have to force him?"

He felt particularly helpless. His brother was actually a very low-key person, but trouble always came to him.

“He is very strong.” Mi Mo tapped her white chin with her finger and said, “I am here to make things happen this time, so I want to make things as complicated as possible.”

 Making trouble?

Yu Hang didn’t know what this meant. He always felt that there was something wrong.

Before he could speak, he heard a gust of wind. He turned around and saw Tie's hand falling on his neck.

 The feeling of dizziness came again.

Yu Hang fainted immediately before he had time to prepare.

 “You talk a lot.”

Mi Mo didn’t say anything more and quickly evacuated with Yu Hang.

 …

 The next day.

 When the first light of the morning shone in, Zhou An walked out of the room.

 After I came back last night, I just spent a while thinking about how Chef Ding could solve the problem.

Originally, he wanted to ask Yu Hang how to improve his skill of reading hundreds of volumes. After all, Yu Hang was also a scholar.

But there were too many things that happened last night, and Yu Hang was not in a very good mood, so he wanted to wait until one night to talk about it.

This morning was just fine.

 He planned to find Yu Hang first to see if he could get any clues about his proficiency.

 “Dong dong dong!”

At this time, not many people came out yet, and the alley was quiet.

 Zhou An gently knocked on the door.

The old wooden door made a clanging sound.

 Zhou An couldn't help but frowned when he found that no one responded.

“With Lao Yu’s temperament, I should get up and study at this time.”

Although it is very early at this point, Yu Hang should already be studying.

Even if something happened last night, given Yu Hang’s character, he would not waste his morning reading time.

"Strange."

Zhou An thought this in his mind and knocked on the door harder.

As he knocked harder, the door was pushed open by Zhou An.

 “No lock?”

Zhou An was stunned for a moment, then looked at the scene in the room.

 He saw the empty house and found no trace of Yu Hang.

 Zhou An walked in with his feet raised.

 The next moment, he saw the letter paper placed on the table.

 “Something’s wrong.”

Zhou Ansheng had a bad feeling, came to the table and picked up the envelope.

 After opening the envelope, he saw a letter filled with words inside.

 “Is he unlucky again?”

 Zhou An suddenly had this idea and subconsciously opened the letter.

 There is a lot of content in it, but most of it is nonsense.

After Zhou An read all the contents, he put the letter away with an expressionless face.

 The above content is very simple, just tell him that Yu Hang has been kidnapped. If he wants Yu Hang to be safe and sound, he should participate in the Yunlai Mansion's Dao Casting Competition.

 As for the rest, there are no redundant hints.

Of course, this piece of paper is also mixed with a lot of psychological self-narration, just like a person who talks a lot of nonsense.

 “You’re all here to make trouble for me, right?”

Zhou An looked expressionless on the surface, but in fact, he was getting colder inside.

 He just wants to quietly improve his skills, but there are always people looking for things for him.

 The most important thing is that this matter has nothing to do with Yu Hang, but the other party used Yu Hang to threaten him.

 Can't bear it.

As I said before, Zhou An usually doesn’t cause trouble, but once someone provokes him, he must be uprooted.

The leader of the Beast Cult is like this, and County Magistrate Chen is also like this.

 If you want to develop silently, you can only eliminate all hidden dangers around you.

Now that hidden dangers have appeared again, Zhou An feels that it is time to eliminate them.

 He carefully recalled the contents of the letter and soon got some information.

“The other party knew that I had a good relationship with Yu Hang, so they kidnapped Yu Hang in order to let me participate in the Casting Competition.”

"He can't be Lao Zhao, nor can he be someone I'm familiar with, because they know my temper."

“The other party must be a stranger who accidentally encountered my abnormality and then came up with this idea.”

“The most important thing is that this person should be related to the Dao Casting Competition.”

 After sorting through the information that came to mind, Zhou An immediately came up with the answer.

 He did not stop at Yu Hang's room, but took this letter to the blacksmith shop where Blacksmith Zhao was.

 Since he is a person who casts the Tao, he must be from this circle.

 Lao Zhao has a wide circle, so there should be no problem if you ask him to help.

Now that Yu Hang has been kidnapped, Zhou An is still a little anxious.

 When he arrived at the blacksmith's shop, he happened to hear the noise in the blacksmith's shop again.

 Needless to say, that guy Qi Shuo is here again. Outside the blacksmith shop, there were still those guards.

This time when Zhou An came to the blacksmith shop, the guards no longer stopped him.

These guards are also discerning. They know that even their master treats Zhou An with courtesy, so they will naturally not offend him.

Zhou An entered the blacksmith shop smoothly. As soon as he entered, he saw blacksmith Zhao raising his fist and preparing to give Qi Shuo a seal.

 But with the arrival of Zhou An, the two people present stopped.

 Especially Tiejiang Zhao, he seemed to see Zhou An's problem.

 “You have a strong murderous intention.” Blacksmith Zhao said slowly.

 Lao Zhao was actually a pretty good man in his life.

To be honest, from a blacksmith in the market to his current status, he has experienced a lot, so he can tell it at first sight.

 The same goes for Qi Shuo. A shrewd businessman, the most important thing is his eyesight.

This eyesight does not mean having good eyesight, but being able to discover things that others cannot.

"Brother Zhou, what happened to you? Just tell me if you have anything, and I will help you sort it out."

 Qi Shuo should be the first to boast about Haikou.

 No matter whether you can do it or not, only by agreeing first can you create a good impression on the other party.

If you don’t do well later, just say that you have worked hard and tried your best, and the other party will not blame you for it.

　　"Look at this letter." Zhou An put the letter on the table.

Blacksmith Zhao was very curious and picked up the letter while still talking.

 “What mysterious thing are you doing again?”

Qi Shuo also came over curiously.

　　After seeing the contents of the letter, the two people's expressions changed in unison.

 “Who did this!”

 The two of them asked this question together.

 Chao Tiejiang himself is an upright person, he would never do such a thing, and he deeply hates such things.

 He hated this kind of threatening method extremely.

 Qi Shuo has the same attitude.

 He is a businessman, but he has never done anything wrong since he started doing business.

Shopping malls are like battlefields. Although his shopping malls are open and covert, this kind of thing that threatens other people's friends is really in bad taste.

Zhou An's face was cold: "I found out that Yu Hang was missing early in the morning. One of you is in the circle, and the other one has a lot of connections, so I wanted to come over and ask."

Blacksmith Zhao fell into deep thought. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "Zhou An, you think too highly of me. I really can't find a letter, but I thought of a question. The identity of the other party is by no means simple. "

 “How can we see it?” Zhou An asked.

Tiejiang Zhao said: "If you think about it carefully, with your current strength, can someone take Yu Hang away under your nose?"

“In other words, the person who can take him away must either be stronger than you or use a special method. If the person who is stronger than you will not do such a thing, he will take you away directly.”

"The other party has a special method. If we, the people who cast the path, get something from our elders, we will be able to exert a certain effect. This is probably the reason."

Zhou An understood it, but had no clue.

 “I’m going to find Zhensi.”

  He felt that if he had these resources, he should use them, and since Yu Hang was obviously kidnapped by people in the industry, it was the right thing to do to find a spy.

 When I read novels in the past, I always felt that a protagonist, even if he was extremely powerful, was always alone and would not rely on the power behind him.

 In fact, when a person is extremely powerful, the power behind him must be considerable.

 If you were still fighting alone at that time, it would obviously be fake.

Zhou An is different. If there are such resources around him, he will use them.

"If you have any news, you can tell me. Maybe I can help. After all, I still have some role in the Zhudao circle." Blacksmith Zhao said.

Qi Shuo also expressed his attitude at this time: "The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce can also help you."

 “Thank you.” Zhou An cupped his hands and walked out with a calm expression.

 After Zhou An left, Qi Shuo was a little confused.

“That person is a good friend of Brother Zhou, but Brother Zhou has a calm look on his face, as if he is not angry at all.”

 He felt something was wrong, Zhou An's expression was too plain.

 Chao Tiejiang glanced at Qi Shuo: "You are a businessman after all, don't you know a word?"

“The calmer the surface is, the more it is an erupting volcano.”

"I'm afraid the person who offended Zhou An, whether he is a man or a woman, will have a hard time."

"Oh?" Qi Shuo became interested: "Senior Zhao seems to know Zhou An very well. Can you tell me about it?"

 Actually, Qi Shuo is also very curious.

He knew that Zhou An and Blacksmith Zhao had a very good relationship, but just now Zhou An said he was going to suppress Guisi, and his expression was an understatement, which meant that he had a good relationship with Zhensi.

It is a bit interesting that he is obviously a very low-key person, but he is related to the big shots in Anding County.

Blacksmith Zhao picked up the iron materials nearby and threw them into the furnace next to him.

"Anyway, just don't mess with him. The reason why Wu Youde came here is because the previous county magistrate was killed by Zhou An himself."

Hearing this, Qi Shuo took a deep breath.

He had never heard of such secret information before. It was probably blocked by the secret agents.

"Remember, you can't mention this to anyone again, otherwise you will lose your head one day and you will have no regrets." Blacksmith Zhao added another sentence.

 Qi Shuo nodded quickly, indicating that he was strict with his mouth.

However, his expression was still horrified, and he obviously hadn't reacted yet.

 …

Zhou An didn't know what happened next. He had already arrived at Zhenguisi.

 After he told Zhang Si County about the matter, Zhang Si County immediately started to investigate.

 Throughout the whole process, Zhou An also followed the members of the Zhenguisi.

They first went to the house where Yu Hang disappeared, and then searched all over the county. Until the afternoon, there was still no news.

 The final result was that the other party had left Anding County.

 After returning to Zhenguisi, Zhangsi County looked helpless.

“It’s true that we can’t find it. We have also searched through the information here. It is absolutely impossible for Anding County to have another expert who can hide it from your eyes and ears.”

“There have been a lot of people passing through Anding County recently, all of whom are learning casting. Maybe it’s just like you guessed, it was done by a casting master.”

"The other party probably knows your ability, so they want to force you to participate in this casting competition."

　　When talking in Zhangsi County, Zhou An always remained silent.

This silence is as deep as the night, making Zhang Si County feel uneasy.

 “Zhou An, don’t do stupid things.” Zhang Sixian said.

 He knew Zhou An's temper and was worried about it coming up.

Hearing this, Zhou An shook his head and said, "I'm going to participate in the Dao Casting Competition."

 Zhang Si County was slightly startled.

Zhou An's expression was very indifferent: "Then rescue Yu Hang, catch the person who kidnapped Yu Hang, and kill him."

 The tone was very calm, but the murderous aura in his body became colder and colder.

 “I never want to offend anyone, but maybe it’s just like what Lao Zhao said.”

“If I keep a low profile, it’s like anyone can ride on my head.”

“Why do you have the guts to jump on top of my head, a bunch of trash fish?”

 Hearing this, Zhang Si County hesitated and asked: "Don't you plan to keep a low profile?"

I have a bad cold. I feel dizzy and feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, okay, I have saved the manuscript (proud).
