Concerns

"I knew it, Senior Brother beating Disciple is easy peasy!"

"Haha, Big Brother has great insight. I bet that brat never expected this. Being ambushed by a Senior Brother from the same school, tsk tsk..."

"Finally, I can sleep soundly tonight!"

Shi Ba and his two companions linked arms, feeling incredibly pleased with themselves. Shi Ba, in particular, felt an urge to burst into song.

It didn't matter if he sang well or not; he was just in a good mood.

The heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart was finally lifted. He felt completely at ease, and even the fatigue from days of constant worry vanished.

After leaving Langshi Wine House, Shi Ba walked towards the shadow in the alley and called out.

"Master Li is mighty! Little brother is immensely grateful. If you don't mind, please come upstairs, and let me treat you well."

As he spoke, he made up his mind to spare no expense. Not only had he eliminated the great threat of Lin Yin, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to befriend Li Qianjiang.

After all, being able to kill Lin Yin, who had achieved Inner Strength, made him feel that Li Qianjiang was underestimated within the gang!

However, facing his warm invitation, the figure standing at the alley entrance waved and then walked into the alley on his own.

The two behind Shi Ba looked bewildered. Shi Ba was also a bit confused, but he didn't overthink it. He quickly called out and chased after him.

"Let's go see. After all, it was an ambush on a Disciple from the school. We shouldn't discuss it in a crowded place like a wine house."

Excitement and nervousness flashed across Shi Ba's face. He thought he had guessed Li Qianjiang's concerns and quickly called his companions. The three of them hurried towards the alley.

Who knew, they might even get to see Lin Yin's corpse!

Thinking of this, Shi Ba and his companions grew more excited, quickening their pace. In a short while, they entered the narrow, deep alley one by one.

If not for the crescent moon hanging high, the few people entering the alley might not have been able to see the path clearly. They immediately noticed the Black Shadow standing not far away.

The shadow was still walking, heading deeper into the alley.

"Brother Li!"

Shi Ba called out and quickly followed.

As they ran, they went deeper into the alley. The surroundings grew darker. Gradually, Shi Ba began to feel that something was not quite right. However, before he could suspect anything, the figure ahead suddenly stopped, standing in the middle of the alley.

Suppressing his doubts, Shi Ba walked forward.

A blue robe, a straight posture. This body shape and Outline were indeed Li Qianjiang. As he got closer, Shi Ba completely dispelled his doubts.

He walked up familiarly and patted Li Qianjiang's shoulder.

"Master Li..."

The moment his palm touched his shoulder, Li Qianjiang fell straight to the side, revealing another relatively slender figure in front of him.

The familiar face was expressionless, but the indifferent gaze sent Shi Ba's soul into a frenzy, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Lin Yin..."

Shi Ba wanted to scream, but the next moment, "crack," his throat felt as if it were being choked by an invisible hand, and he could only let out a half-hearted "h."

Before he could scream, Lin Yin had already moved!

His body shot out like a taut bowstring, closing in on Shi Ba as fast as lightning. He clenched his right fist, and his protruding knuckles instantly struck Shi Ba's carotid artery.

A light "crack" sound, the muffled thud of a shattered throat bone seemed to echo throughout his entire brain. Shi Ba's eyes bulged, his body went limp, and he slid to the side.

"Brother Ba!"

The two behind them saw this, their hearts shattered, and they turned to run!

Lin Yin's internal energy surged. His toes tapped on the bluestone slab road of the alley, as if he were walking on air. In just a few steps, he caught up to the backs of the two.

He formed his left hand into a blade with his fingers, and the edge of his palm sliced across the back of the neck of the person in front of him, the force easily penetrating the bone.

"Crack--"

The second person's forward momentum abruptly stopped, his body stiffened, and he fell to the ground, silent.

The last person climbed onto the wall, intending to escape over the high wall. As soon as he climbed up, he felt a numbness in his back. He saw Lin Yin press one hand on his shoulder blade, his thumb pressing hard on his "Tian Zong Acupoint."

The person trembled all over, making a "gurgling" strange sound in his throat. His arms went limp, and he fell from the edge of the wall. As he fell, blood foam seeped from his mouth and nose. He only gasped twice before he died.

The deep alley returned to silence, a faint smell of blood spreading in the wind.

Lin Yin flicked the blood drops from his fingers, glanced at the three still-warm corpses, his figure flickered, he took the belongings from the three, and rushed towards the alley wall.

He stepped up, easily leaped over the wall, and his figure disappeared into the night, as if he had never appeared.

The crescent moon was still cold and clear, shining on the dark red patches on the bluestone slabs, like ink accidentally spilled, slowly seeping into the dark crevices.

Lin family's small house.

Without disturbing his Mother, who was dozing on the table, Lin Yin carefully latched the door.

He gently spread the quilt over his Mother, then lit the candle in the room.

The dim yellow light illuminated a handsome face without expression. His slightly fair skin still showed a hint of youthfulness.

No one would have thought that such a seemingly weak youth had just killed four burly men in succession.

He felt no discomfort after killing, nor was he particularly happy. Only worry for the future filled him.

Lin Yin frowned slightly.

Li Qianjiang... Shi Ba...

He didn't know how these two were connected. What happened tonight had caught him off guard.

No one would have expected that Li Qianjiang, a martial arts disciple, would be involved with a low-level thug from the Black Scorpion Gang.

He felt fortunate.

Luckily, he had found the Langshi Tavern based on Li Qianjiang's few words. He had gone with a tentative attitude, not expecting to actually draw out the mastermind behind it all.

The three, Shi Ba and the others, were like rusty iron nails firmly embedded in his heart.

The deaths of the three did not bring Lin Yin any relief. Instead, his inner tension and sense of crisis exploded.

"I wonder if those three bastards told that guy about my situation..."

Recalling the burly man who had given him a suffocating feeling that night, Lin Yin's internal alarm bells rang loudly.

Li Qinhu, the second-in-command of the Black Scorpion Gang. His strength was rumored to be unfathomable. Although he was the second-in-command, he was the Black Scorpion Gang's top enforcer.

Li Sihhu was Li Qinhu's distant cousin. This guy had even cruelly killed a gang leader based on mere suspicion.

This was information Lin Yin had gathered before. As the heat died down, Lin Yin focused on martial arts, gradually forgetting the person who had once made him most wary.

Now, the sudden appearance of Shi Ba and his group, along with Li Qianjiang's actions, made Lin Yin feel the crisis again.

If Li Qinhu was still standing behind these people, Lin Yin wouldn't know what to do.

He couldn't gamble.

Lin Yin looked at the pile of silver on the table. The gleaming silver was enough to make anyone ecstatic, but his heart, currently filled with crisis, couldn't feel any joy.

He turned to look at his Mother, who was sleeping soundly on the cutting board on the other side. Lin Yin's thoughts raced, and he quickly formed a plan.

Perhaps it was time to find a safer place. With this sum of money, he could even temporarily close his Mother's shop!
