Chapter 339: Lingering Fear

Right now, that was indeed what Gu Ying was doing. As soon as he arrived, he directly destroyed the blood tower’s lair, causing this organization to be without a leader. In a short period of time, they would be unable to organize an effective counterattack. Then, after the other party reacted, he continued to eliminate the new commander.

 

That was why he seemed to be wandering aimlessly on the route. Today, he had committed a crime in the nearest city, and two days later, he had appeared thousands of miles away.

The distance between Xu City and Lin City was the same, but MO Ruyue had a feeling that Gu Ying should be in Lin City.

The first murder case happened in an unknown small town, about the size of a county. However, no one would have thought that such a small town would actually be the lair of a huge organization like the blood tower.

Following that, there were murders in cities of all sizes. They were almost all arranged according to the rule of “small and big.” Among the three cities, Sun City was the largest and Forest City was the smallest, so MO Ruyue’s eyes were cast here at the first moment.

 

With the big black horse around, it only took a few hours to travel from the county to Ping City. However, MO Ruyue did not plan to settle down in Ping

City. She merely stood on a small hill ten miles outside the city and looked at Ping City from afar.

If Duanmu Xize knew that she had come to Ping City, he would definitely send someone to keep an eye on her. At that time, she would be bringing danger to Gu Ying. How could she make such a low-level mistake?

MO Ruyue carefully listened to the movements around her to make sure that no one was following her. Then, she turned her horse around and set off for Lin

 

Lin City was only a hundred miles away from Yueyang Prefecture’s capital, Ping City. However, because it was located in a small basin surrounded by mountains, there was only one road leading to the outside world. Therefore, the scale of the city was not large, and it was not prosperous.

The pace of life of the people in the city was also very slow, and they seemed to have a feeling of being aloof from the world. The surrounding scenery was very beautiful, which made MO Ruyue think of an article called “the Peach Blossom Land” that she had read before.

The Peach Blossom Land was also located in a valley, and there was only one small path that was connected to the outside world. The people inside were content and happy, and they lived a quiet and peaceful life. Everyone looked very happy.

However, Forest City was different. The road leading to the outside world had an eye-catching mark, and the city people’s indifference to the world seemed more like a kind of helplessness and resignation to fate after a fruitless struggle.

MO Ruyue’s appearance did not attract too much attention. She was wearing a bamboo hat that covered her face and was dressed in men’s clothes. She looked like a swordsman who was walking in the rivers and lakes. However, the big black horse she was leading attracted many people’s attention. After all, such a handsome horse was not common here.

She went directly to the building with the sign of “Xiangyun Restaurant”, tied the big black horse to the horse-tying post in front of the door, and then prepared to walk in.

 

“Young Man, you’re from outside, right? We can’t stay in this restaurant.

There’s an inn not far ahead. Let’s go there!”

There was a grocery store diagonally opposite the restaurant. The shopkeeper inside had already had his eyes on MO Ruyue when she walked over. Seeing that she was going to go in to stay, he immediately came out to dissuade her. “Isn’t this restaurant open for business? Why can’t I stay here?”

MO Ruyue had used medicine to change her voice in advance, so she sounded like a young man.

“Well, you don’t know, but this restaurant also exists in other cities. I don’t know who it offended, but seven or eight bloody cases have happened in succession, and all the people inside have died. How unlucky!”

The shopkeeper came over and whispered, his eyes couldn’t help but look into the half-closed door of the restaurant.

“In the past, I found it strange. Even the inns in this small place are rarely full, but such a big restaurant has opened here, and there is not even a single person to be seen every day. It has been open for several years, and the shop has not closed down. I don’t know what the shopkeeper is planning.”

He continued to ramble on and told them some more information about the restaurant.

 

In fact, he was just trying to find something to talk about. He always felt that this young man had a very good cold fragrance on him. It was refreshing, and once he smelled it, he felt that his whole mind was a lot clearer.

He knew that many rich young masters liked to wear incense and make it smell nice. It seemed that the young man in front of him had a good family background. Otherwise, how could he afford such elegant incense and hold such a handsome horse?

It would be great if he could come to his grocery store to take care of the business, even if it was just to buy two small things.

The shopkeeper didn’t notice that he was already distracted. His body was still unconsciously leaning towards MO Ruyue.

“Thank you for telling me, but I don’t mind. As long as I live well, it doesn’t matter.”

MO Ruyue had come to this restaurant in the first place, so she naturally wouldn’t back out just because of the manager’s words.

“Young Man, do you not want to live well? If you want to live comfortably, it’s the same at my house. There’s a separate courtyard and servants to serve you. Isn’t it better than going to that unlucky restaurant?”

The shopkeeper didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he just wanted to stay with this young man for a while longer. The fragrance on his body was really too tempting, making people feel a kind of desire. This was the first time he had such a feeling.

MO Ruyue’s face sank. This time, she was too lazy to even reply.

She couldn’t stop such a lecher in her men’s clothes, which was the most unlucky thing. Now he better not provoke her again, otherwise she couldn’t guarantee what she would do.

It was just that the shopkeeper seemed to be in a daze. Seeing that MO Ruyue was ignoring him, he didn’t know where his daze came from, but he directly reached out to grab MO Ruyue’s hand, wanting to make her stay.

Just as their hands were about to touch, MO Ruyue’s hand moved as fast as lightning. She suddenly grabbed the shopkeeper’s wrist and twisted it behind his back. A cry of pain escaped his mouth. The pain of his wrist almost breaking made the shopkeeper come to his senses.

“Since you’ve given me some useful information, I’ll let you off this time. If you still don’t know what shame is, don’t blame me for crippling you.”

 

MO Ruyue said coldly. When she saw the shopkeeper sweating profusely from the pain, he hurriedly nodded. Only then did he release his hand and push him forward.

The moment the shopkeeper regained his freedom, he immediately ran to his grocery store.

He didn’t dare to have any other thoughts now. Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the city, and it was just past noon. There were only two or three pedestrians on the street, and no one had noticed what had just happened.

If people knew that he had feelings for a man that he shouldn’t have, he wouldn’t be able to stay in this city.

Once he thought of the consequences, he felt a wave of fear. He only wished that he could hide far away and not meet that terrifying young man again.

MO Ruyue then walked up the steps and pushed open the half-closed door. The door shaft had not been oiled for a long time, and it made an ear-piercing squeak, breaking the afternoon silence.

The sunlight that shone through the door cast down countless tiny light pillars, and when they gathered together, they became a few relatively larger light pillars. The dust particles in the air swirled and danced because of the airflow. MO Ruyue could even hear the sound of the dust particles colliding with each other.

There was no one behind the counter of the hotel, and there was no trace of the waiter in the lobby. The entire restaurant was filled with a rotten smell. Other than the fact that there were no cobwebs, there was no trace of a living person at all.

Even without the series of murders at “Lucky Inn,” this inn’s business was destined to be completely lost. This place was probably just a communication station, and it didn’t matter how many business deals it could make..
