The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 459: Someone Came to Find Me!_1

Zhang Chuan expressed some regret as he said, "If what Mr. Li just mentioned really took place, Lin Andong would definitely be looking at a few years behind bars. Actually, if we could just amplify the impact of this issue, the trouble would naturally follow him."

"Let’s not, it’s definitely a double-edged sword. I’m afraid I could end up drawing a basket full of trouble for myself before it even reaches him," Li Qing shook his head and said, "Not worth it!"

It was acceptable to scare them, but it really wasn’t something he could actually do.

Being the person in charge of the construction site and with such an incident occurring there, he would be the first to be impacted.

If the incident’s impact was expanded, there would certainly be those who would come after him first for any injury-related issues on the site.

Then, they would go after Lin Andong for deliberately slandering and stirring up trouble.

After all this, the troubles coming Li Qing’s way might even be more severe.

He certainly did not want to ruin this lucrative business.

"That’s true," Zhang Chuan chuckled, then added, "Given the tough stance of the Dragon Lake Academic Institution, it seems we have no choice but to take this to court. Leave the rest to me; Mr. Li can just wait for the news."

"Then I’ll be troubling you, Lawyer Zhang!" Li Qing politely said.

"Not at all, not at all, taking people’s money, to ward off their disasters, that’s my duty." Zhang Chuan said jokingly with a smile, extending his hand to Li Qing.

After shaking hands with Zhang Chuan, Li Qing left the hotel.

There wasn’t much else for him to worry about; waiting for the trial to begin would be enough.

Crossing the bustling streets, Li Qing entered an old neighborhood.

His motorcycle was parked here.

In the city center, parking spaces were hard to find, so Li Qing had to park a bit further away.

He sat on his motorcycle, turning the key, started the engine, and was ready to leave.

Suddenly, three men and one woman appeared around him.

Two middle-aged men walked straight towards him, a girl with a ponytail and backpack stood to his right rear, and a bleached-blond young man stood to the left front, guarding the exit of the neighborhood.

This positioning almost completely blocked Li Qing’s paths of escape.

Li Qing, who had weathered many a storm, instantly became alert.

These people clearly bore ill intent.

He instantly prepared to launch an attack with Black Arrow, ready at any moment.

Unsurprisingly, these individuals were likely to be helpers requested by the Qi Family.

Although Li Qing had not encountered many cultivators, he felt that these people had the air of cultivators about them.

"Young friend, there’s no need to be so tense, perhaps you should put away the magic artifact first; we mean no harm!" the middle-aged man on the left began, speaking indifferently, "My surname is Dian, given name Chunqiu, from an official organization."

"We’re here today to inquire about a few matters, and it should not cause any trouble for you."

"You’re not hired by the Qi Family?" Li Qing asked warily.

He did not obediently put away the Black Arrow as told.

The fact that they could sense the presence of Black Arrow also proved Li Qing’s guess.

These individuals were all cultivators.

Dian Chunqiu smiled and said, "Although the Qi Family indeed has some influence, they cannot afford to hire me."

"What do you want to inquire about?" Li Qing asked in a deep voice.

Dian Chunqiu moved around the front of the motorcycle and got directly onto the bike, sitting beside Li Qing.

This action made Li Qing tense up instantly.

He sensed a threat like never before.

"I hear fuel is pretty expensive these days, don’t let it run on like that!" Dian Chunqiu reached out and turned off the motorcycle’s ignition, then asked indifferently, "May I know where the young friend has received his training from?"

Li Qing looked nervously at this man, his thoughts racing like lightning.

He indeed had a mentor now.

By rights, he should be considered a disciple of Nine Truth Palace.

But he wasn’t very familiar with the Cultivation World and was even less trusting of the origins of these few people.

Not wanting to cause trouble for Xuan Chen Zhenren, Li Qing thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don’t have any mentor!"

"You wouldn’t be lying to me, would you?" Dian Chunqiu’s smile was full of benevolence, and his demeanor made him easily approachable.

But Li Qing’s guard was up to his forehead by now, and he wouldn’t trust him no matter what.

"I’ve seen the battlefield you left behind, and the scent of Purple Cloud Thunder is unmistakably there. Magic Artifacts with lightning properties are few and far between in this world, and only treasures like sect-defending artifacts could beckon the Purple Cloud Thunder. You say you have no mentor, how can I believe that?" Dian Chunqiu shook his head as he spoke.

Li Qing furrowed his brows fiercely.

This man was indeed no simple character; he could even determine the attributes of the thunder from the remnants left behind.

"Believe it or not, what I said is the truth!" Li Qing said.

"Then, could you explain the origins of your cultivation? This shouldn’t be considered putting you in a difficult position, should it?" Dian Chunqiu asked, toying with Li Qing’s motorcycle keys in his hand.

"Why should I tell you?" Li Qing retorted.

Dian Chunqiu chuckled, "Because we’re officials, my young friend!"

"If you don’t tell me the truth, you could face severe consequences, such as having your cultivation disabled, your Magic Artifacts confiscated, and being imprisoned. You know, there’s this agency and that agency, several agencies to manage ordinary people."

"There are many Cultivators in the world, with great powers, and the potential to cause greater harm to society; logically, there would be an agency to manage and restrain them. So when a wild Cultivator pops up somewhere, it’s natural for us to investigate thoroughly, clarify the situation, register them, and explain the rules."

"How can you prove your identity?" Li Qing asked with a slight shock in his voice.

Though what he said made a lot of sense.

But that still couldn’t dispel Li Qing’s doubts and wariness.

Dian Chunqiu took out a document from his chest, "This is my ID, but I think you still won’t believe it."

Li Qing: ...

That was quite an accurate statement.

He indeed still didn’t believe it.

Because he had never seen what the real thing actually looked like.

"How about this, let’s have a fight. I believe that once you realize you can’t resist, you will trust our identity and come clean voluntarily," Dian Chunqiu mumbled.

Li Qing instantly became tense, the feeling this man gave him was like facing an abyss.

You could not discern any truth or deception from the expression in his eyes or his mannerisms.

Although this man was sitting very close in front of him, in Li Qing’s eyes, he seemed more like an invisible person.

Li Qing’s mind was in chaos; he didn’t know what to do.

The only clear thought was that he knew he couldn’t just surrender without a fight, at least he had to try.

Whoosh!

The moment he made his decision, Black Arrow flew out instantly, heading straight for the back of Dian Chunqiu’s head.

"No, no, no, not me, fight him. His name is Hong Fang Zhenren, he is one of the heads in the north,"

Dian Chunqiu pointed at Hong Fang Zhenren and said with a light smile.

The Black Arrow, which had always been successful for Li Qing, was flicked back just by a flick of the fingers.
