I have something to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chun furrowed his brows deeper, realizing that the girl was here for Qin An. After a moment’s thought, he prepared to inform Qin An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened, and Qin An came out, looking calmly at the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in and speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was turning dark, and the girl had come alone; Qin An didn’t know the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the girl’s demeanor, it seemed serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was still shrinking but cautiously walked into the room, afraid to meet Qin An’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An said slowly, \"I’m not a man-eating tiger; raise your head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, the girl quickly raised her head, her limbs trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had personally seen Mr. Wang flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The usually arrogant Mr. Wang ran at the sight of this gentleman, proving that he was even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though just a commoner, the girl clearly understood that she couldn’t offend this gentleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the girl’s fearful appearance, Qin An tapped his fingers on the table and said, \"Speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear had accumulated over a long period, especially in Ding County, and couldn’t be solved in a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it couldn’t be solved, it was better to discuss some serious matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl twisted her hands together and murmured, \"I saw Mr. Wang leaving the city last night, knowing there’s friction between you and Mr. Wang. I thought it over and decided to come and tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought about it for a long time and finally decided to come to inform Qin An about her sightings from last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not for any other reason but hoping Qin An would stand up for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An frowned and asked, \"Which direction did he go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the city at this time meant something clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think Mr. Wang was running away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Wang had been operating here for years, and if he fled now, that would be laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl quietly replied, \"To the north.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chun stood up: \"Not good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just spoken when he felt Qin An’s gaze sweep over, calming his mood and sitting back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An said, \"Understood. Now that it’s late, you should head back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl softly acknowledged, gave Qin An another glance, as if wanting to remember him, and then left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the girl left, Qin An looked toward Chen Chun and said, \"She’s just a normal citizen; don’t somehow involve her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chun smiled awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood Qin An’s meaning; the girl was here because of Qin An, and he had been too hasty, almost blurting it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the girl heard something, it wouldn’t be good for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An asked, \"What’s to the north?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chun quickly replied, \"To the north there’s a faction called the River Saber Sect, which has traditionally been connected with the authorities. I suspect Mr. Wang went to the River Saber Sect for reinforcements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An rubbed his chin: \"River Saber Sect, interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Heart Method he received came from River Saber Sect’s Cold Source Heart Skill, allowing him to step into the cultivator threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Zhao Jinsheng harbored greed, but was unexpectedly killed by Qin An, now buried underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long does it take to get from the authorities to River Saber Sect?\" Qin An tapped his fingers lightly on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chun instinctively replied, \"If he set out last night, the night road is challenging; it would take a day. He should be on the way back tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he finished speaking, Chen Chun realized something was off and looked sharply at Qin An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you planning...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An stroked the dagger, got up, and said, \"Let’s depart; today is suitable for killing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The authorities were full of hidden dangers, and Mr. Wang was a major problem, hard to deal with within the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he left the city, today was Qin An’s chance to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he die outside, it was unrelated to him, merely bad luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chun hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and followed Qin An out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep night, no moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingquan River and the authorities were less than ten miles apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Wang was dressed in black, hurrying toward the county town in the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had arrived at River Saber Sect in the morning, explaining Qin An’s matters to them in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always treated River Saber Sect with the utmost respect. Recently, with some disciples going missing, although unresolved, he’d been contributing enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of the money he’d recently collected went into the hands of the River Saber Sect, temporarily appeasing Mr. Liou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had nowhere to turn and went to River Saber Sect alone seeking help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this journey, he put all his family assets on the line, just seeking assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the missing disciples, he repeatedly assured that they would be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Mr. Liou—perhaps swayed by the money—told him to return to the authorities, promising soon to confront Qin An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling reassured, Mr. Wang eased his heart slightly and hurriedly returned home by night road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up ahead, Qingquan River’s outline faintly appeared, with the sound of flowing river water echoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing this river, he wouldn’t be far from Ding County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby was a wooden bridge, and Mr. Wang prepared to step onto it for a swift crossing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin An, your death is impending in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked, Mr. Wang thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Liou was a master at the Body Storage Realm for a long time, unlike Eagle Master, killing Qin An was as easy as flipping his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his good days were approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a splash suddenly rose from the river, revealing a glint of cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>",1358,"2026-06-03T03:46:00.935Z","2026-06-03T03:46:06.308Z",1,"novelbin.me","34e4512cc297fbe8ba6c0e62b470e3e729974a3b34b9fd09b5f98285973e689b","rise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-chapter-23","rise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-chapter-21",632,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-cover.jpg"]
