Chapter 161
The two came out of the gambling stone workshop. Because the time was still early, Chen Zi Ya suggested finding a place that sells animal sundries, and the two would eat before going back.
Lin Zhangqing readily agreed. In fact, strolling around the stall square and the gambling stone workshop took a total of about three hours. It is indeed too early to return to the passenger ship now.
Because he was not in a hurry, he did not specifically ask for directions. Both of them were strolling around, just to kill time.
However, Lin Zhangqing has never relaxed his vigilance. After all, the two just came out of the gambling stone workshop. Who knows if they will be targeted by people with intentions, so his divine sense has been paying attention to the surrounding environment and characters.
Now he actually found a person who shouldn't appear here more than a hundred meters away, the middle-aged female cultivator of the Qi family, Qi Zhanfei's mother. Lin Zhangqing didn't know if this was a chance encounter or if she was specifically following the two of them.
So he decided to try it. He just happened to see the dining hall, and the two walked in, paid two spirit stones, each got a big bowl of animal sundries, and started to bury their heads and eat.
In fact, Lin Zhangqing's divine sense has been paying attention to Qi Zhanfei's mother. Now he can be sure that she is coming for the two of them.
She didn't know that Lin Zhangqing's divine sense was so powerful, otherwise she would definitely not have come so close, and although her cultivation was high, she obviously had no experience in tracking people.
The destination was too obvious, and Lin Zhangqing easily judged that she was following the two of them.
If the Qi family knew that Qi Zhanfei's death had something to do with him, then it should be Qi Daoxiong or even True Person Chen Shan who came. After all, he and Chen Zi Ya represented Great-Grandmother True Person Yunxia to a certain extent.
And now only Qi Zhanfei's mother came by herself, that was obviously her own meaning. Nine times out of ten, it was because he rejected Qi Zhanfei, causing him to go out alone and die, thus venting his anger on the two of them.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to lower his head to eat, he said: "Junior Sister, listen to me, be careful not to be too surprised, we are being watched, it is Qi Zhanfei's mother, at a position about 150 meters to our left."
Lin Zhangqing knew that Chen Zi Ya had soaked in Purple Spirit Liquid, and her divine sense must be more than 150 meters.
Chen Zi Ya was stunned when she heard this, and then took advantage of lowering her head to eat, her divine sense extended and probed in the direction Lin Zhangqing said, and soon found the middle-aged female cultivator.
"Senior Brother, what should we do now?" After confirming the situation, Chen Zi Ya asked a little nervously.
Lin Zhangqing lowered his head while eating and said: "This woman is following us, it must be because of her son's death, venting her anger on us.
Relying on ourselves, we are definitely not her opponents. We can only go to the Garrison Office of Qiyun City and ask your Junior Uncle-Master to make the decision."
Chen Zi Ya heard Lin Zhangqing say this, and her heart settled a little. She lowered her head and continued to ask: "The distance from the market to Qiyun Prefecture is still more than ten miles. Will it be too dangerous for us to go out like this?"
Lin Zhangqing thought for a while and said: "Who said we are going to Qiyun Prefecture by ourselves? Finish eating quickly and follow me. You will know what's going on in a while?"
Chen Zi Ya blinked. Seeing that Senior Brother was so confident, she felt much more at ease.
Then she continued to bury her head and eat. Soon the two finished the two big bowls of animal sundries and left the dining hall, walking towards Wanbao Pavilion.
As soon as he stepped into Wanbao Pavilion, a clerk in his twenties, who looked shrewd and capable, greeted him immediately.
"Hello, two guests, welcome to Wanbao Pavilion. I am your shopping guide this time. You two can just call me Xiao Du."
Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "I want to buy something."
"Okay, two guests, please go to the second floor, please this way!"
Clerk Xiao Du led Lin Zhangqing and the two to a small box and sat down. A maid immediately served two cups of spirit tea. Lin Zhangqing nodded to her to express his gratitude.
Xiao Du then asked: "What do the guests want?"
"I want a first-grade flying boat, which needs to be faster, and can carry two or three people."
Xiao Du nodded hurriedly: "Yes, guests, please wait a moment, I will go get it for you to have a look." After speaking, he retreated.
Not long after, he walked in with a tray, on which were three artifacts.
Lin Zhangqing looked closely, and it was exactly the Light Wind Boat, Swift Wind Boat, and Cloud-Piercing Boat he had seen in the Wanbao Pavilion in Qingyun City before.
Xiao Du was about to introduce, Lin Zhangqing waved his hand and said: "No trouble, just the Swift Wind Boat, how many spirit stones?" Xiao Du was stunned and answered subconsciously: "The Swift Wind Boat costs six hundred spirit stones."
Lin Zhangqing nodded, took out the VIP card of Wanbao Pavilion, and handed it to Xiao Du with six hundred spirit stones.
After Xiao Du took it, he registered the purchase record this time with a secret method.
Returned the VIP card to Lin Zhangqing, and then asked subconsciously: "Do the guests have any other needs?"
Lin Zhangqing was waiting for this sentence from him, nodded and said: "Yes! There is indeed one thing I would like to ask you for help."
Xiao Du said hurriedly: "Guests, please speak."
Lin Zhangqing pondered for a while before saying: "After a while, after we two leave.
I would like to ask you to help us send a letter to the Garrison Office after a quarter of an hour, personally to our Junior Uncle-Master True Person Chen Shan. We are being watched by robbers now, and it is dangerous to go out of the market.
Also, please, be sure to bring back True Person Chen Shan's reply.
We will come back in an hour and a half, and then we will give you a reward of four hundred spirit stones."
When Xiao Du heard this, he looked embarrassed. Just as he was hesitating, Lin Zhangqing said again: "You don't have to be afraid, we will go out to lure away the people who are watching, no one will pay attention to a small clerk like you.
A round trip, you can earn four hundred spirit stones in less than an hour, and this time our Junior Uncle-Master will definitely catch these robbers in one net, without leaving any future troubles. Maybe at that time, he will give you some extra rewards!"
Xiao Du listened to Lin Zhangqing's words and thought for a while before agreeing.
Lin Zhangqing said to Chen Zi Ya again: "Junior Sister, write down the situation we encountered clearly and tell Junior Uncle-Master, and then hand over your identity jade token to Xiao Du as a token."
Chen Zi Ya nodded, took out a jade slip and stuck it on her forehead, and carved the situation they encountered into the jade slip.
And cast a series of spells on the jade slip. After completion, she handed her identity jade token as an inner sect disciple of the Qingyun Sect and the jade slip to Xiao Du.
Xiao Du took the identity jade token and saw that it was indeed the identity jade token of an inner sect disciple of the Qingyun Sect, so he believed that the two were not lying to him.
Coupled with the fact that Lin Zhangqing also held the VIP card of Wanbao Pavilion and the reward of four hundred spirit stones he promised, Xiao Du decided to help them go to the Garrison Office.
Letting Xiao Du not send them off, the two left Wanbao Pavilion. Not long after walking, their divine sense discovered that Qi Zhanfei's mother had followed them.
The two looked at each other and tacitly didn't say anything, just started to stroll aimlessly in the market.
Afraid that Chen Zi Ya would not be natural enough, Lin Zhangqing also held Chen Zi Ya's hand. Her face immediately turned red, but she did not resist, but was very obediently held by Lin Zhangqing.
Seeing Chen Zi Ya's blushing face and her hand being tightly held by him, Lin Zhangqing's heart jumped violently.
This scene was seen by the middle-aged female cultivator following them. Thinking that her son had already turned into ashes.
And these two murderers who indirectly killed her son actually had the mood to be affectionate here, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wished to chop them into pieces and cut them into a hundred sections.
Lin Zhangqing just held Chen Zi Ya's hand like this and strolled around the streets and alleys. Of course, he didn't dare to go to too remote places.
Afraid that the middle-aged female cultivator would not be able to control herself and take a risk, and take action against them directly in the market.
Under such tense and exciting circumstances, the hands of the two held together had never been let go. Now Lin Zhangqing already had a little realization in his heart.
Unknowingly, an hour and a half passed. After strolling around a large circle, the two returned to Wanbao Pavilion again. At this time, Xiao Du had already returned.
Seeing the two, he hurriedly greeted them and led them to the small box upstairs.
