The alley was dark.
At the same time, it was silent.
The figure that walked into the alley stopped five steps away from the figure in the corner who was wearing a hat.
The two of them looked at each other in the darkness without saying anything.
Time passed quietly.
After some time, the figure in the hat said, “This is the back alley of the Qin residence. Young Master, did you take the wrong path?”
The young master who walked in from the alley had a faint smile on his face. “I didn’t go the wrong way. I’m very familiar with the road in MO City. I’m also very familiar with the trifurcation in the road outside the city. Are you familiar with them?”
The figure in the hat did not answer. He looked at him a few more times before walking closer and whispering something.
The two of them looked at each other and leaned closer.
One of them lowered his head and tilted his ear, while the other whispered.
Luo Qingzhou stood on the wall like a ghost and watched.
When he saw their faces clearly, he did not approach them to listen to what they were saying. He turned around and floated back.
After returning to his room, his soul returned to his body.
Then, he opened the door and walked out. He said to the little girl in the room,
“Xiao Die, I’ll go out for a while. You can sleep first.’
Xiao Die’s obedient voice came from the room. “Oh, Young Master, come back and rest early.”
“Okay.”
Luo Qingzhou was about to leave. After some thought, he turned around and returned to the house. He stared into the mirror and took out the mask that he always wore every time his soul left his body.
Previously, he made a mental note to try the mask during the day with his physical body, but till now, he had not tried it. He did not know how effective it would be.
He unfolded the mask and put it on.
It felt the same as when his soul had put it on. There was a trace of coldness, but it was very soft and comfortable.
Just as he put it on, the mask suddenly tightened.
Then, the face reflected in the mirror suddenly changed. Even his demeanor and temperament seemed to have changed.
“Interesting…”
He was secretly delighted. As expected, this mask could not only be worn by the soul. When he wore it in a physical state, it was even more powerful than the disguise technique. It was as if he had become a different person.
He did not delay any longer and immediately left.
In the alley in the backyard.
The two figures pressed against each other and talked for a while before separating.
One of them continued to stick to the corner of the wall and observe the surroundings.
The other man walked quickly out of the alley and disappeared into the night.
The street was empty.
Song Zhe did not take the main road. Instead, he passed through various quiet and dark alleys. As he walked quickly toward the Song residence, he recited the few most important things mentally.
Of course, he could not remember everything word for word.
However, he was sure that he remembered everything that the mole told him.
Thinking about the secrets he had just heard, he was filled with excitement.
If the Song family had those things, they would be able to destroy the Qin family very soon.
No wonder his mother was so serious and cautious. She assigned this task only to him, and she did not let anyone else in the Song family know about it.
Even his little sister did not know.
“Oh, the Qin family. I didn’t realize until today that although our families seem harmonious on the surface, we are sworn enemies.’
“No wonder Mother always told me to make friends with the younger members of other families, but she has never asked me to make friends with the Qin family…”
“She’s only telling me all these now. Is it because she is afraid that I’ll expose everything because of how young and rash I was back then?”
“I wonder if Mother instructed Zixi to befriend the Second Young Miss of the Qin family…”
“Tsk, tsk. I’ve met the Second Young Miss of the Qin family once. She’s so beautiful that her beauty outshines the moon and puts the flowers to shame. With just one glance, one can’t help but fall in love with her… Unfortunately, she’s so sickly and frail. She’ll probably die after I toss her about on the bed for a while. How boring… Hehe, those little girls are still the best.”
“I wonder what the young lady of the Chengguo Residence looks like. I heard that she’s only 12 or 13 years old. Tsk tsk, I’ll be able to see her tomorrow. At that time…”
Hmm?
He suddenly stopped and looked at the exit of the alley in front of him.
It was empty, and there was nothing unusual.
However, Song Zhe’s intuition as a martial artist told him something was not quite right.
His heart skipped a beat, and he slowed down. His muscles tensed as he clenched his fists and held his breath. He walked forward step by step cautiously.
Swoosh!
When he was two steps away from the exit, he suddenly exerted strength in his legs and jumped out at lightning speed. Then, he suddenly turned around and looked at both sides of the exit. His entire body was tense, and he was ready to attack!
However, there was nothing on either side of the exit.
Song Zhe landed on the ground and froze for a moment. Then, he laughed at himself.
So he was merely scaring himself.
Who could possibly be waiting for him here in the middle of the night? There was no enmity between him and others, and he did not have any treasures that others coveted.
The Qin family was still in the dark about everything too.
He shook his head, turned around, and prepared to continue forward.
However, just as he turned around, a fist suddenly appeared in front of him!
His expression changed drastically. At this critical moment, his body suddenly erupted with its greatest potential. His head hurriedly leaned back, and at the same time, his hands quickly crossed up to intercept the fist!
Bam!
The fist landed lightly on both of his palms.
No, wait!
There was something off about the strength of this punch!
BANG!
Before he could react, another fist suddenly smashed into his stomach with a terrifying force!
Before Song Zhe could straighten his body, he was sent flying by the punch. He flew back into the alley and landed heavily on the ground.
An intense pain suddenly assaulted him!
His stomach churned, and his vision suddenly turned black. His blood surged, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood!
Fortunately, he had succeeded in refining the skin, and he had some experience in refining the flesh.
This punch was not enough to defeat him!
Song Zhe endured the pain in his stomach and bit his tongue hard to wake himself up. He flipped his body and got back up.
BANG!
Unexpectedly, the attacker was even faster!
Just as he stood up, the other party’s third punch was already thrown!
This punch hit him squarely in the chest!
Song Zhe was sent flying again. At the same time, he heard the sound of his ribs being broken.
He fell to the ground in a sorry state. His eyes widened as he watched the figure follow him like a possessed ghost. With a bang, that figure punched his already broken ribs…
Song Zhe’s mouth gaped open, and a large amount of blood instantly gushed out of his mouth and nose. His chest had already collapsed.
He let out a desperate cry and raised his trembling hand as if he wanted to beg for mercy.
He did not want to die!
He was still young. He still had a lot of family assets. He also had many delicate and cute little beauties waiting for him. He still…
BANG!
The figure punched him heavily in the face again!
His young and handsome face instantly caved in. His eyeballs bulged out while his face was shattered. His features were twisted, making him look terrifying.
However, he was still alive.
There was a large amount of blood in his throat. He squeezed out this word in fear and despair.
However, his attacker did not say a word, nor did he ask for money. He did not even tell him why he wanted to kill him. He only raised his fist and punched his body one last time…
BANG!
With this punch, Song Zhe’s head exploded, and he died.
The figure retracted his fist and searched his body for a while. He found a money bag and poured over 20 gold coins and some silver. Then, he threw away the money bag and left.
A moment later.
A black shadow suddenly floated up from Song Zhe’s body. His eyes were dull and he was in a daze. He continued staying in that position for a while before he rose into the air and prepared to float away.
Right at this moment, a flickering fluorescent figure suddenly rushed out of the darkness in front of him. With a puff, he punched the black shadow’s body, directly shattering the soul of the confused black shadow into nothingness.
Then, the flickering figure quickly returned to the corner of the alley and entered the body of a physical body.
Then, the figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the alley.
In the backyard of the Song residence.
In a room, the mistress of the Song family—Sun Qiaoxiang—was sipping tea at the table with a calm expression.
The maidservant stood at the door, holding her breath in concentration, awaiting her instructions.
Fifteen minutes passed.
Sun Qiaoxiang put down her teacup and looked out of the window.
The bright moon outside the window shone in the courtyard. It was completely covered in snow.
It was silent outside.
Another 15 minutes passed.
Song Qiaoxiang picked up her teacup and took a few more sips.
Not long after.
She stood up, put down her teacup, and walked out of the house. She looked at the door.
Another 10 minutes passed.
The composure on her face vanished. She suddenly became a little nervous.
Song Qiaoxiang frowned and led the maid out of the courtyard. They walked through the long backyard to the back door. She opened the door and looked outside.
After a while.
Her expression finally turned ugly. She said with a trembling voice, “Go, inform Old Master to call Bodyguard Fang and the other guards over. I need them to go out with me.”
The maidservant agreed and hurriedly ran away.
Not long after, a group of people carried lanterns and hurried out of the Song residence.
“Old Master! Madam! Come quickly!”
In an alley not far from the mansion, a guard suddenly shouted.
Everyone’s expressions changed as they hurried over.
When the light illuminated the dark alley and the terrifying corpse with a dented chest that was beyond recognition on the ground of the alley, the crowd immediately let out a few terrified screams.
A few maidservants fainted on the spot.
Sun Qiaoxiang’s face was ashen white, and her lips were trembling. She walked over shakily and stopped in front of the terrifying corpse. With just a glance, she recognized it to be her son. Then, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground.
When Luo Qingzhou returned to the Qin residence, he did not return to the small courtyard immediately. Instead, he entered Moonlight Rain Court alone, took off his clothes, and went into the lake.
Although his clothes were not stained with blood, he needed to take a shower to feel at ease after having killed someone.
He soaked his body in the warm lake water and then sat down, leaning against a rock in the shallows. He sighed in contentment and closed his eyes, replaying the process of him killing people and destroying their souls tonight in his mind.
He wanted to see where there were flaws and where he needed to pay attention.
In which aspects he could do better the next time he attempted this?
Just as he was thinking with his eyes closed, he suddenly heard footsteps at the door.
Then, a crisp and sweet voice sounded. “Little Chanchan, why are you so shy? It’s just a bath, come in quickly. This lake is a natural hot spring. I come here every night after midnight to soak for a while, it is very comfortable. You will understand how comfortable it is after you try it once. I guarantee that you will want to come again next time. Let’s go down naked. You can massage me, and I will massage you.. Let’s have fun together, okay? Hehe…”
