This face looks a bit familiar

"Boss, it's them." In front of a herbal tea shop, Tian Shu led Xie Zi and the others to Li Fucheng's group, who were resting.

'Hmm... six people, all wearing straw hats and straw shoes. The women have good figures too. And they're all outsiders. They really do seem like the group Senior Brother Ma Qing mentioned.' Nodding, Xie Zi turned to Da Leng and said, "You and Bie Niu stay here and keep an eye on them. I'll go report to Senior Brother."

"Okay, leave it to us." Da Leng patted his chest and guaranteed.

Nodding, Xie Zi turned and blended into the crowd, slowly departing.

A cup of tea later, in a large manor outside the town, Xie Zi used a secret signal to meet Chen Yuanzhou, who was inhaling Colorful Moth Powder.

"Senior Brother, I've found Ma Qing."

"Oh?" Chen Yuanzhou, his face flushed, exhaled a breath of green turbid air. "Are you sure?"

"There are six people in total, all wearing straw hats and straw shoes, just as you described."

"Very good." Chen Yuanzhou stood up, tidied his slightly messy hair, put a packet of grayish-white powder from beside him into his bosom, and said, "Let's go, take me to see them."

"Yes, this way, please."

Using a few special contact signals, Xie Zi led Chen Yuanzhou to the town's market and successfully found Da Leng and Bie Niu, who were still on watch.

"Senior Brother. (Senior Brother)" Upon seeing Chen Yuanzhou, Bie Niu and Da Leng quickly bowed.

"Where are they?" Chen Yuanzhou asked.

Bie Niu immediately replied, "They went into the pickle shop. Tian Shu is watching them inside."

Nodding, Chen Yuanzhou walked directly into the pickle shop and saw Li Fucheng and his group of six.

"Senior Brother, these pickles look so crisp. Let's buy some to try."

"Sure, they look good to me too."

After picking out a jar of pickles, Li Fucheng's group left the shop.

Just as the owner was about to put the money into the cash box, he suddenly heard a voice call out, "Wait."

The startled owner looked up with some displeasure, but upon seeing who it was, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Oh, it's Master Chen gracing us with his presence. Forgive our lack of preparedness, forgive our lack of preparedness."

"Cut the nonsense. Give me the copper coins those people just paid."

The owner's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but without any hesitation, he immediately handed over the money with both hands. "It's all here. Master Chen, please take it."

Casually taking a copper coin from the owner's hand, Chen Yuanzhou's eyes sharpened. 'It really is the Three Treasures Coin from the Huainan Region.'

After confirming, Chen Yuanzhou threw the copper coin back into the owner's hand, glared at him, and said, "Don't tell anyone you saw me, or you know what will happen." With that, he turned and left the shop.

Tian Shu, who had followed behind, also slapped the table and roared, "Did you hear me? Old man, dare to say a word..." After speaking, he gestured with his fist at the owner.

The owner, who had been threatened for no reason, repeatedly said yes. Only after the two troublemakers left did he let out a long sigh, feeling his back was completely drenched.

"What is this..."

Chen Yuanzhou, walking out of the Pickle Shop, found Xie Zi and the others again and said, "Find two people and stir up some trouble around them."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Xie Zi nodded smartly and quickly turned to leave.

Although Chen Yuanzhou was now seventy percent sure that this group of people was the same one Gu Louqing had encountered before, he chose to test them again to be more certain. Gu Louqing had mentioned that there was a young girl in this group who could even fool Ghost Cry Granny, so they were likely just a bunch of reckless youths.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Fucheng and the others, who had almost finished browsing the entire market, were preparing to find an inn to stay in when they heard a commotion ahead.

"Bang!" "Clang!" "Thump!"

The sounds of tables and chairs falling, and bowls and plates shattering, rang out one after another.

"Aiyo! Martial Grandfather! Stop smashing, stop smashing! I'll kowtow to you! Please!"

"Damn it! You dare to open a shop when your Sesame Paste is so hard to eat? I'm flipping your shop to get rid of a scourge for the people of Sunset Glow Town! Ptooey! You greedy merchant." As he spoke, Martial Grandfather kicked over another table.

The owner could do nothing but kowtow and beg for mercy.

Li Fucheng, who walked over and saw this scene, frowned. Tang Tingshuang behind him had already knitted her brows and her phoenix eyes widened. If their young master hadn't told them to keep a low profile earlier, she would have rushed forward already.

Thinking about their encounters along the way, and Tang Tingshuang's still-unhealed wound, Li Fucheng was just about to say, "Let's leave," when he suddenly remembered something Brother Wang had told him back then.

"You were able to travel safely from Huainan all the way to Jiangbei. Do you really think it was because you were skilled enough?"

Thinking of this, Li Fucheng suddenly said, "Tingshuang, Xiao Ni, go up and help."

Tang Tingshuang was stunned for a moment, but then her brows immediately relaxed, and she happily said, "Yes!"

The reason he made this decision in the end was that Li Fucheng wanted to confirm if Third Uncle was really nearby. If he was, he really wanted to see him and pour out all the hardships he had endured on this journey. It had been too difficult.

"Thugs! Stop!" Tang Tingshuang shouted charmingly and charged forward.

Not far away, seeing Tang Tingshuang charge forward, Chen Yuanzhou was completely certain that this group was definitely the one Gu Louqing had encountered before. He stopped watching and told Xie Zi and the others, "Keep an eye on them," before turning to leave.

"They're really not taking our Yellow Gang seriously!"

In a magnificent hall, after listening to Chen Yuanzhou's description of the events, a tall, thin man roared.

Gu Louqing, on the other side, also said after a moment of thought, "They suffered a loss but still meddle in such affairs. It seems they are truly confident in their own strength."

"Heh! I think they beat our Hall Master Gu and feel that no one in our Yellow Gang can deal with them, so they are so arrogant."

Hearing the sarcastic tone, Gu Louqing immediately drew the Purple Copper Saber from his waist and yelled at a man holding a folding fan opposite him, "Meng, if you have the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one. Stop disgusting me here."

"Let's go! Who's afraid of who!" The man closed his folding fan and stood up abruptly.

"What are you arguing about!"

Just as a fight was about to break out, a middle-aged man slowly walked into the hall.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the two who were just on the verge of conflict immediately turned and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Deputy Gang Leader."

"I heard the person was found?" Cheng Qingheng asked, glancing at Chen Yuanzhou.

"Reporting to Deputy Gang Leader, yes. A group of six, they should be from Huainan. I've already sent people to investigate them."

"How old do they look?"

"The leader is about sixteen or seventeen, and the ones following are about the same age."

Cheng Qingheng pondered for a moment after listening. "Sixteen or seventeen years old, yet they could suppress Lao Liu? Which sect's genius disciple is this..."

Gu Louqing's face turned green and then purple as he listened, but he didn't dare to retort. He could only lower his head and remain silent.

"Lao San."

Hearing the Deputy Gang Leader call him, Chen Yuanzhou quickly replied, "Yes."

"Take me to see them. Such young geniuses are rare. I need to confirm it personally."

"Yes!"

Cheng Qingheng was decisive. After speaking, he had Chen Yuanzhou take him to the town.

They arrived at the market, and Chen Yuanzhou found that the group led by Li Fucheng hadn't left yet. Moreover, a young man in a white robe had joined them, and they seemed to be chatting happily.

"Deputy Gang Leader, those wearing Straw Hats are the ones we're looking for."

Cheng Qingheng nodded and looked towards Li Fucheng.

At that moment, Li Fucheng had just taken off his Straw Hat and cupped his hands towards the White Robe Youth. "I am Gu Qingyue of the Azure Cloud Sect. Thank you for your righteous intervention just now."

"You're too kind. I originally wanted to make the first move, but I didn't expect Brother Gu's people to steal the spotlight. However, it's not a loss to get to know a chivalrous person like Brother Gu because of this, hahaha! I am Zhou Guican of the Linqi Sect. It's a pleasure to meet all you chivalrous individuals."

'Heavens Sword - Zhou Guican!? What is he doing here?' Chen Yuanzhou was stunned. This disciple of the Linqi Sect had been very prominent recently, having challenged many gangs in the Shanxi-Shaanxi Region. Now he had actually come here.

Although Cheng Qingheng was also surprised by Zhou Guican's name, he was even more surprised by Li Fucheng's face.

'This face looks so familiar... Where have I seen it before.'
