Trouble

Fang Yu didn't know why the Sun Household was searching for Chun Shisanniang's whereabouts, but he guessed it was related to the power struggle between the Wu, Hu, and Sun families.

Above the Grain Gang is the Hu Household. Now that the Hu Household is in trouble, the Wu and Sun families will definitely be the first to be suspected. Considering the recent situation, the Sun Household is probably the most likely suspect.

Uh! Okay, actually there's no need to doubt it anymore. Xu Fang is a member of the Sun Household, so this was definitely done by the Sun Household.

So, it's very likely that the Sun Household's search for Chun Shisanniang was to distance themselves from the situation; of course, there could be other reasons as well.

In any case, the search for Chun Shisanniang will definitely be fruitless.

Of course, some superficial work still needs to be done.

As before, Fang Yu called Zhou Daqing and others to Scholar Zhang's stall and asked him to draw about ten pictures. Then, each of them took one and went around searching for the woman, so that everyone on the street would know that Xu Fang was looking for "Chun Shisanniang". Since Xu Fang was looking for her, it was actually equivalent to the Sun Household looking for her. Perhaps this was the attitude that the Sun Household wanted to express.

As the days went by, Fang Yu continued as usual, practicing Cultivation Method and shopping, steadily improving his skills in both areas.

As for the search for Chun Shisanniang, it has been ongoing, but as time goes by, the hope of finding her is getting lower and lower.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

He was practicing his Cultivation Method at home when the courtyard gate was kicked open, and his younger sister Xu Ying, walked in.

"You released him?"

Faced with Fang Yu's question, Xu Ying nodded and looked around his courtyard. "You live here?"

"Hmm!" Fang Yu nodded, invited Xu Ying to sit down in the courtyard, and then called Jiang Yue out to meet him, where they chatted for a while.

After chatting for a while, Fang Yu learned that the reason Xu Ying stopped carrying bags was because all the experts in the Four Seas Hall had died. She, a former senior member of the Four Seas Hall and a minor leader with Eighth Grade cultivation level, was sent back to the Four Seas Hall to continue as a minor leader in order to maintain the operation of the Four Seas Hall.

"I heard you're working for the Liu Household now?"

"Hmm! What's wrong?"

"The Liu Household is nothing special, nothing like the Hu Household. Four Seas Hall is short-handed right now, so come work for me. It's better than being the Liu Household's eyes and ears!"

"Well!"

Fang Yu really hadn't expected that his younger sister Xu Ying, was there to recruit people.

"I can't do it. I'm quite happy being an informant, and it's very free. But I can't stand all those rules in your gang. They'll stab you three times and stab you six times at the drop of a hat. Besides, the Four Seas Hall was just massacred. Who knows when they'll do it again? I'm not going."

Xu Ying was displeased. "It's still better than what you are now. Let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So many people want to get in but can't. If you miss this chance, you'll never have another one like it."

Fang Yu still shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going!"

"Hmph!" Xu Ying was furious when she saw that he was determined not to go. She got up and walked outside. "You're hopeless! Just stay here and rot in the street!"

"Take care!" Fang Yu saw him to the door, then continued practicing his Cultivation Method.

The reorganization of the Four Seas Hall also means that the investigation of the murderer Chun Shisanniang by the Grain Gang has temporarily come to an end. After all, the Grain Gang has such a large business to attend to, and it is impossible to put all its energy into finding the murderer.

Fang Yu searched for over a month, and then Sun Dongrong found him, very unhappy, "You've really disappointed Sixth Master!"

Fang Yu said in a panic, "Please tell Sixth Master Rong that I have really done my best. My brothers have almost turned the entire Bei'an Prefecture upside down, but we still haven't found Chun Shisanniang. I guess she has already left Bei'an Prefecture."

"Incompetence is incompetence, don't make so many excuses!" Sun Dongrong sneered, then changed the subject, "Have the Embroidered Robe Bureau contacted you recently?"

Fang Yu shook his head repeatedly. "No!"

Sun Dongrong instructed, "If anyone from the Embroidered Robe Bureau contacts you, be sure to report it immediately!"

"Yes!" Fang Yu nodded immediately.

Sun Dongrong gave a few more instructions and then left.

Fang Yu, however, sensed something was amiss. Sun Dongrong's sudden mention of the Embroidered Robe Bureau might mean that more people from the Embroidered Robe Bureau were coming from Long City.

If the Embroidered Robe Bureau arrives, they must be investigating a major case, which is most likely related to the Sun Household.

'This is really troublesome!'

Fang Yu sighed, feeling as if his identity as Xu Fang was about to be ruined.

There are just too many troubles, one after another, giving him absolutely no time to practice martial arts in peace.

'Why don't we just change our identity?'

A thought popped into Fang Yu's mind, and then he found it hard to contain himself.

He lacks nothing now except a stable training environment, but Xu Fang's identity is too dirty, and all sorts of troubles keep coming his way. Before, he didn't know much about this world, and his strength was not good enough, so he could only barely cope.

His martial arts cultivation has now reached the Sixth Grade, giving him some ability to protect himself, and he also has a fairly good understanding of this world.

This is the perfect time to adopt a clean identity and live a peaceful life.

Thinking of this, he paused, then turned and walked towards the car dealership.

In just a short while, he arrived at the carriage shop and inquired whether there were any caravans heading to Long City.

"There is a large merchant caravan heading to Long City tomorrow. If you wish to join them, you only need to pay one tael of silver."

When do we depart, and where do we meet?

"Tomorrow at 5 AM outside the South Gate!"

Thank you for your help!

After leaving the car dealership, Fang Yu returned home. He glanced at Jiang Yue, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to tell her.

Jiang Yue isn't a good person either; he's capable of hiring someone to commit murder. He only married Xu Fang because of her status.

Now that he's changing his identity, he naturally can't carry this burden anymore, so he'll just let it fend for itself.

With the money he had given her before, as long as Jiang Yue didn't squander it, it would be enough for her to live on for the rest of her life.

As for Xu Fang's mother, Xu Ying will naturally take care of her, so he doesn't need to worry about her.

Before we knew it, the second day had arrived.

Fang Yu got up as usual, dressed, and instead of practicing martial arts, he pushed open the door and left, heading towards the south gate.

Soon, he exited through the south gate and spotted a caravan bustling about in the distance.

This caravan was large, with more than twenty large carts, all bearing the flag of "Distant-Pacifying Escort Agency," and each of the caravan members had the Qi and Blood of Ninth-Grade Village Brave.

The lowest cultivation level of the bodyguards is the seventh grade, and the leader of the bodyguards has the vitality and blood of the fifth grade.

'As expected of the top escort agency in Long City, their strength is truly formidable!'

Fang Yu thought to himself, found a bodyguard, explained that he wanted to go to Long City with the caravan, and handed over one tael of silver.

The bodyguard collected the money and pointed to a group of individual travelers not far from the caravan and said, "Go over there and just follow the caravan later. Remember, we are not responsible if you fail to follow or get lost."

"Understood! Understood!"

Fang Yu nodded repeatedly and then walked towards the group of casual tourists.

The distance between Bei'an Prefecture City Long City is not far, only about two hundred li. However, it is still somewhat dangerous for ordinary travelers to travel alone. Even if they take the official road, they may encounter bandits. Therefore, the best way is to go with a large merchant caravan. With the protection of the escort agency, as long as they can keep up, they can basically reach Long City safely.

After a short while, the caravan set off, and Fang Yu followed along with the many individual travelers.
