When Xia Fan returned to the inn, the inn was already closed.

Instead of awakening the inn's staff to open the door for him, he chose to turn back into the room through the window.

A faint candlelight was lit in the room. When Xia Fan saw Shi Xiaofei lying on the table at the first glance when he flipped through the window.

"Senior, are you back?"

Shi Xiaofei was not asleep completely. After hearing the creaking sound by the window, he immediately raised his head vigilantly, and then he saw a familiar figure in front of him.

"Here I'm back."

Xia Fan sat in front of Shi Xiaofei, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea.

"Senior, are there any important gains tonight?"

Shi Xiaofei looked energetic and the sleepiness on his face disappeared.

"Catch the murderer, the murderer is indeed an insider among the powerful clan." Xia Fan took a sip of cold tea and said in a brief manner.

"Senior, can you tell me about it in detail?" Shi Xiaofei said curiously and excitedly.

"There is nothing to say, it's just a story about a man taking revenge." Xia Fan put down the teacup and yawned lazily. "It's getting late, so you should rest early."

After saying that, Xia Fan walked straight toward the bed.

"……All right."

Seeing that Xia Fan was unintentional to talk, Shi Xiaofei could only regretfully give up asking questions to avoid causing the other party to be unhappy.

When Xia Fan sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced, he suddenly asked Shi Xiaofei who was tidying up the floor.

"Xiaofei, is your adoptive father's surname Cui?"

"Yes." Shi Xiaofei replied subconsciously, and then he quickly reacted. "Huh? Senior, how do you know? Senior, I remember that I didn't seem to have told Senior."

"It's okay." Xia Fan said calmly. "I just want to remind you that this trip to Zhaixing Tower may have some twists and turns."

"Senior, do you know something?" Shi Xiaofei said with a keen mind. "Is it related to the previous murderer?"

Unfortunately, Xia Fan stopped talking.

In fact, when Wei Anshan talked about the past, Xia Fan accidentally thought of someone.

Shi Xiaofei's adoptive father.

He remembered Shi Xiaofei said that his adoptive father had committed a confusing thing when he was young and was abolished from his martial arts and expelled from the sect.

And what kind of confusing thing caused Zhaixing Tower to punish such a severe punishment?

Therefore, Xia Fan easily contacted Shi Xiaofei's adoptive father to the man Wei Anshan hated him to the bone.

Cui Xingping.

Time is right, events are right.

Everything seems too coincidental.

As expected.

When he confirmed from Shi Xiaofei that his adoptive father's surname was Cui Hou.

He was almost certain that Cui Xingping was probably Shi Xiaofei's adoptive father.

Therefore, he kept silent about Shi Xiaofei when he returned to the inn. It was nothing more than that he did not want Shi Xiaofei to be deeply troubled for his adoptive father's affairs without 100% confirmation.

What's more, Wei Anshan's one-sided words alone cannot completely convince Xia Fan. He will not easily express his opinions and conclusions before he thoroughly understands the truth of the matter.

no way.

He has experienced too much news about the reversal and reversal in his previous life. If he is not careful, he will lead the rhythm and press his IQ to the ground and rub it repeatedly.

One night passed.

Since the murderer of the family has been resolved for the time being, Xia Fan naturally had no reason to continue staying in Fu'an County. After breakfast, he and Shi Xiaofei were preparing to go to the Minshan Mountains.

Who knew that as soon as I went out?

They met someone.

Ding En.

"Stay here!"

Ding En came with a slide rod, which is a stretcher tied to two bamboo poles, and a lounge chair made of bamboo strips in the middle.

After all, he was seriously injured last night, and now he is difficult to walk down and can only ride a slider before he can go out.

Seeing his blood-deep face, he knew that he was forcing his body to meet Xia Fan.

“What’s the point?”

Xia Fan looked at Ding En who deliberately stopped them. He was not surprised that Ding En could find him. After all, he was also from a powerful local tribe. It was easy to find an outsider who had no concealed his behavior.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your help yesterday..."

"etc!"

Before Ding En finished speaking, Xia Fan spoke out and stopped him.

"I already know your purpose, but I don't need you to be grateful. If you really have to thank me, then let's be honest."

“…real?”

Ding En said in a daze for a moment.

here we go again.

Shi Xiaofei beside him silently recited in his heart.

"Well, I'm a little nervous recently. If you really want to thank me, it's better to give some real money and silver." Xia Fan said seriously. "In this way, since I have accepted your love, you don't have to feel indebted. Everyone has their own place. Wouldn't it be nice?"

"But how can your kindness be measured by money and common things?"

After hearing this, Ding En couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It's okay, I'm a vulgar person, so you can feel at ease to give back to me with money and vulgar things, I don't mind."

Xia Fan said with confidence.

"...Okay, since you have said that, I won't say much." Ding En sighed helplessly, then slowly took out a jade pendant from his arms and threw it to the follower waiting by the slide rod and said. "You take this jade pendant to go to the mansion to find the butler to get a thousand gold silver note, just say that this is the order of the young master."

"Okay young master."

The entourage took the jade pendant and immediately stood up and returned to the mansion.

"I hope you can wait for a moment, and the followers will soon receive the money and goods you want."

Ding En bowed to Xia Fan with difficulty.

"One thousand gold, your family is really rich. It is worthy of being the largest landlord in the local area!"

Xia Fan shook his eyebrows and said.

"Haha, it's just a little money and vulgar things. For a hidden master like you, it's not easy to want to do anything at your fingertips." Dington said ashamed.

"Don't say that, have you never heard of a penny stumping a hero?" Xia Fan said unconsciously. "Walking in the world, you have to make a living even if you are a master of martial arts. If you are not ashamed of robbing and stealing, and don't want to show up on the streets and do not have a good background, where does the money come from? It is impossible to work for others when you work, so you can maintain your life like this only when you are a hero and righteous person."

“What you said is really thought-provoking…”

Ding Enqiang squeezed out a smile and praised him.

"Okay, okay, don't be polite with me. This time you just think I'm collecting money and doing things, so that you can feel much more at ease."

Xia Fan waved his hand.

After a while, Ding En's entourage rushed back with a stack of silver notes.

Xia Fan took the silver notes and handed them over to Shi Xiaofei for protection. Then he greeted Ding En and left with the horse.

Ding En did not stop and persuade him anymore, just watched them drift away until they disappeared at the end of the street.

"Young Master, several distinguished guests suddenly came to the mansion. The master, who is young, is here to notify you to go back to the mansion."
