Chapter 1394

No matter where they went, there was always inexplicable provocation and bullying. Bai Susu's personal strength was formidable, so naturally she wasn't afraid, but the ordinary mercenaries in the group couldn't withstand this kind of pressure. The worst part was that they didn't go for the kill — instead, with an air of overwhelming dominance, they would endlessly wound you and force you to seek treatment.

If you didn't get treated, you'd die; but after you were healed, they would wound you again, making you go back for treatment, an endless cycle.

The physicians in the Imperial Capital might offer discounts to local mercenaries, but for mercenaries from out of town, they charged ruthlessly high prices. This was also an unwritten rule within the Imperial Capital — every industry would inevitably suppress outside forces!

In the end, the Bai Heng Mercenary Group, which had once numbered several dozen, declined to only a handful of people. Bai Susu was helpless against the drastic changes within the group, but those who stayed were almost all the elite of the elite.

This also made her resolve: in the future, the Bai Heng Mercenary Group would take the elite route, and she couldn't let such a thing happen again. First, she had to come find Lin Cheng — only Lin Cheng could give her the capital to walk the elite route.

"Let's go, let's find him!"

"Mm."

At the entrance of the Tiejiangpu Sect!

It was already near noon, and today was another day of not opening for business!

In a good mood, Lin Cheng finished his discussion with Li Jian, and the two planned to head to the tavern to eat some fried food and listen to Jueqing sing along the way.

After his training, Jueqing was now one of the tavern's "Three Absolutes"!

The other two Absolutes were the tavern's cuisine, and Lin Cheng himself!

Originally, in the eyes of the diners, Jueqing was at most just part of the background, but now it was different. Having inherited Yang Yuhuan's legacy, and with all sorts of modern melodies from Lin Cheng, Jueqing was fully capable of forming an otherworldly girl group.

Last time, Li Jian had come in a hurry and left in a hurry, and hadn't enjoyed the double delight of fried food and milk tea at all. Combined with the stimulation of all kinds of songs, it would absolutely be a refreshing surprise. This time, Lin Cheng was treating, and he had to make sure His Highness had an unforgettable memory.

"Your Highness, the tavern has new items, I guarantee they're way more satisfying than what you eat in the palace. And that girl Jueqing has learned new songs — Your Highness, you absolutely can't miss it, I guarantee it'll be the unforgettable kind."

"Oh, really?"

Lin Cheng gave Li Jian a grinning "special" look. Li Jian's eyes flashed with a gleam, mistakenly thinking it was a

"Of course, you'll know once you go." Lin Cheng smiled and kept him in suspense.

Then, the two walked together toward the neighboring Flying Fox Tavern, chatting and laughing.

Just at that moment, an eager gaze was suddenly detected by Lin Cheng. In the past, when watched by such an eager gaze, he always ignored it.

After all, he was more or less a celebrity — being watched by fans with such eager gazes was perfectly normal!

But this time, he turned his head to look.

At the other end of the street stood five or six mercenaries; that in itself was nothing, but one young man among them seemed to be waving enthusiastically at him, and he could faintly hear someone shouting something.

"Brother-in-law!"

Uh.

Lin Cheng's face darkened. Who was that? How dare he randomly call someone brother-in-law.

Looking to the side, the one at the head seemed to be a woman in white. Oh, she was even wearing a mask — kind of pretty.

Definitely ugly underneath.

The slender, graceful figure and the mask on her face seemed oddly familiar?

Lin Cheng shook his head, quickly tossing the thought aside. How could he possibly have any connection with an ugly woman?

"What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, please go in first. I think I saw someone looking for me. Little Swallow, take His Highness to the biggest private room, and while you're at it, get your Sister Jueqing to liven things up."

"Okay." The instructed Feiyan quickly nodded.......

"Your Highness, please follow me."
