Chapter 082 Breaking the Leg
Despite Ji Lianxing's seemingly gentle and weak appearance, Lin Fei knew perfectly well that this woman was an absolute witch. Seeing Ji Lianxing turning her anger on him, Lin Fei was utterly speechless.
Meanwhile, Mo Qianshan, the young master of Shanhe Manor, was completely unaware that he had been used as a pawn. His eyes were fixed on Lin Fei with jealousy. If looks could kill, Lin Fei would probably already be dead under Mo Qianshan's gaze.
"Cousin!" Ji Lianxing said softly, in a tone that was impossible to refuse, "Please let him and the young Taoist priest be alone for a while!"
"Alright!" Mo Qianshan obviously couldn't refuse Ji Lianxing's request, so he could only nod in agreement and glare fiercely at Lin Fei: "You stinking Taoist, if my cousin loses even a single hair, I'll make sure you don't leave this Shanhe Manor alive!"
After saying that, Mo Qianshan slammed the door shut and left the room.
Lin Fei naturally didn't take Mo Qianshan, that arrogant young master, to heart. After Mo Qianshan left, Lin Fei said to Ji Lianxing, "I wonder if Sister Ji has anything else to instruct me on?"
Ji Lianxing, abandoning her usual teasing demeanor, spoke with utmost seriousness: "Are you really going back to Southern Tang? Those Twelve Fiends of Zi and Wu are no joke. Once they accept a job, they'll fight to the death. If that Pig of Hai hadn't died at your master's hands, I'm afraid he would have been hunting you down again once you returned."
This pig is indeed a big problem. Although Lin Fei was fortunate enough to break through to the Acupoint Realm, he still has no chance of winning against a Dharma Aspect Realm expert.
Not to mention, the Pig (亥) is only ranked last among the twelve evil spirits (子午十二煞).
Lin Fei's expression also turned serious. After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "Thank you for the reminder, sister. Whether that pig can escape from my master's clutches is still uncertain. Besides, even at the Body Tempering Realm, I managed to escape from him, let alone now that I've entered the Acupoint Realm. No matter how rampant the Twelve Fiends of Zi and Wu are, they wouldn't dare to act lawlessly in the Southern Tang Kingdom, would they?"
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you anymore," Ji Lianxing said calmly. "Go south from here, and three hundred miles away is Zhanlong Ferry. After crossing Zhanlong Ferry, you'll reach the border of the Southern Tang Kingdom. Go there yourself!"
Lin Fei had expected Ji Lianxing to try and keep him there, even resorting to some means. He was prepared to force his way out and even fight with Ji Lianxing. But he hadn't expected Ji Lianxing to agree so readily.
After a moment's thought, Lin Fei clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ji Lianxing again and said, "Sister Ji, I will repay your life-saving grace in the future. Farewell!"
After saying that, Lin Fei turned around and walked out of the house.
"You brat, wait until you can get past the Dragon-Slaying Crossing!" After Lin Fei left, Ji Lianxing revealed a sly smile: "The Dragon-Slaying Crossing isn't so easy to get past these days!"
……
Lin Fei left the room and walked straight out of Shanhe Manor.
He was now desperate to return to Southern Tang, and every second counted. With each passing day, the likelihood of the demon-slaying operation ending increased. At that point, he would have no chance to distinguish himself.
Therefore, Lin Fei was unwilling to linger any longer at Shanhe Manor, and even avoided the heavily guarded main gate to prevent unnecessary trouble. After all, Lin Fei still vividly remembered Mo Qianshan's hostile gaze, and perhaps he had already arranged for someone to wait for him at the main gate to cause him trouble.
Lin Fei arrived at a wall, leaped over it, and cleared the several-meter-high wall.
"Three hundred miles south of here is Zhanlong Ferry." Lin Fei calculated for a moment: "At my current pace, I can get there in less than half a day. If I'm lucky, I can find a passenger ship to Nan Tang before dark."
Just as Lin Fei was about to leave, a strange shout rang out: "You stinking Taoist priest, sneaking around and climbing over the wall, you're definitely not a good person! Men, seize him for me!"
As soon as the voice fell, a group of people holding sticks surrounded Lin Fei; they were all servants of Shanhe Manor.
The leader was naturally Mo Qianshan, who already regarded Lin Fei as his mortal enemy.
Lin Fei frowned slightly, already showing some displeasure. In his perception, these servants were nothing more than ordinary people. A few of them seemed to have practiced martial arts, but they were only at the Opening Meridian stage.
Lin Feike never had the habit of fighting with ordinary people, so he said, "Young Master Mo, I did not want to trouble you, so I climbed over the wall. Please let me leave."
Mo Qianshan sneered: "If you just tell me to move aside, wouldn't this young master of the manor lose face?"
He pressed on aggressively, showing no intention of letting Lin Fei leave: "You stinking Taoist priest, you're quite clever. You knew I would definitely stop you at the main gate, so you specially climbed over the wall. Don't you know that I've arranged men all around Shanhe Manor? Today, even if you had wings, you wouldn't be able to fly out of my Shanhe Manor! Tell me, what did my cousin say to you, you stinking Taoist priest, after she left you behind alone?"
Lin Fei naturally wouldn't tell Mo Qianshan about his conversation with Ji Lianxing. He simply said, "This humble Taoist and Miss didn't say anything. Miss only told this humble Taoist the way to leave. Please let the young master pass, or don't blame this humble Taoist for being impolite!"
Lin Fei was never one to cause trouble, but he was certainly not one to back down either. His reluctance to fight Mo Qianshan was entirely out of consideration for Ji Lianxing, since this guy was still somewhat useful to her.
"You filthy Taoist priest, how dare you threaten me?" Mo Qianshan sneered. "I now suspect that you, this wicked Taoist priest, entered my Shanhe Manor with ill intentions and stole my valuables! Now take off all your clothes so I can send people to thoroughly inspect you!"
Removing all of Mo Qianshan's clothes was undoubtedly an insult to Lin Fei, and Lin Fei would never do as Mo Qianshan instructed.
Seeing Lin Fei standing there, seemingly ignoring his words, Mo Qianshan flew into a rage, yelling, "This wicked Taoist priest stole valuables! Men, break his legs! Lock him in the dungeon!"
As soon as Mo Qianshan finished speaking, the villagers rushed forward.
It seems that these farmhands also want to make a good impression on their master. After all, the Taoist priest in front of them looks weak and doesn't seem like a powerful figure.
Seeing the surrounding servants surge forward, Lin Fei frowned, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted, "All of you, get out of the way!"
This sound was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
