244: Tie him up for me

Night fell.

The forest was quiet. After a day of travel, Lin Feng checked his sales progress:

"New Upgrade Martial Pill sales progress (8/10), New Advancement Pill sales progress (5/10), New Healing Pill sales progress (6/10), train exclusive water sales progress (16/30), steamed bun sales progress (2/10)."

Today, only four bottles of train exclusive water were sold; nothing else moved. However, he collected quite a few VIP carriage tickets. Besides Xiao Shen and Wang Yi, Tong Changshan and Little Ice Fox also rode the train. It was just that Tong Changshan seemed to have been stimulated by something, as he didn't buy a VIP carriage ticket this time, opting for a regular carriage instead.

After reviewing everything, Lin Feng entered maintenance mode.

An hour later, outside the forest, Bao Hui suddenly appeared, followed by a group of people.

If Xiong Mao were there, he would definitely recognize them; these were all Bao Hui's trusted subordinates from the Axe Gang, with the lowest rank being Level 2 Warrior.

Bringing a large group of trusted subordinates to the forest late at night, it couldn't possibly be for hunting Ferocious Beasts, could it?

Bao Hui and his group hurried through the forest, though they only stayed in the Outer Circle; they still didn't dare to enter the Inner Circle.

Upon reaching an area with few Ferocious Beasts, Bao Hui stopped and gestured to the people behind him, signaling them to stop and not move.

Everyone immediately froze.

Bao Hui cautiously took a few steps forward and sure enough, he waited for the person he was expecting.

However, the person meeting him this time was not the Director of the Bingyan Office, but a Manager of the Bingyan Office. He also wore a black robe, but his build was shorter than the Director's.

The black-robed Manager frowned when he saw the people behind Bao Hui and said, "Why did you bring so many people?"

Bao Hui had known that it wouldn't be the Director coming today, which was why he specifically brought people.

He wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the Director, but this Manager... everyone was just an employee, who was nobler than whom?

"The Ferocious Beast Forest at night is even more dangerous, Manager Ye, you wouldn't be unaware of this, would you? I wouldn't dare to come without bringing more people." Bao Hui almost had 'arrogance' written all over his face.

"You!"

Manager Ye had no idea Bao Hui would be like this. He was only there to deliver a message; the Director was busy and couldn't leave, so he sent Manager Ye to discuss the time and details of the operation with Bao Hui.

"Forget it, I won't say anything else to you. The Director has already made all the arrangements. The time to act is..." Manager Ye whispered.

Bao Hui still listened carefully, so he didn't interrupt him.

Only after Manager Ye finished speaking did Bao Hui blink his shrewd little eyes and say, "This deployment is very good, but there's still one question: when the time comes, will your people start the fight first, or will my people?"

"Of course it's you, does that even need to be asked?!" Manager Ye felt that Bao Hui was truly unreasonable.

His voice was a little loud, and the people Bao Hui brought immediately became alert, grabbing their weapons. Some drew their swords, making a "sizzling" sound.

This further fueled Manager Ye's anger: "What do you mean by this! Don't you want to cooperate?!"

This was his first time meeting Bao Hui, and he didn't know Bao Hui's way of doing things. He hadn't expected him to be such a troublemaker.

"How could that be?" Bao Hui naturally wouldn't truly fall out with Manager Ye, after all, the Bingyan Office was behind him. So he waved his hand at his subordinates, and they put away their weapons.

"Hmph, if your attitude towards cooperation is like this, don't blame it when no one helps you then." Manager Ye was very angry; as a manager at the Bingyan Office, he was used to being respected, but this Bao Hui had insulted him so much.

"Of course not, my subordinates are ignorant and startled you. I apologize on their behalf."

Bao Hui handled it flawlessly; since it was all done by his subordinates, he kept himself clean.

Manager Ye could only sulk.

"Since the message has been delivered, I'll take my leave now. The timing cannot be late, and those who should be at the front cannot retreat. Understand?" Manager Ye didn't plan to stay here and waste any more time.

"Understood, understood. Please take care."

"Hmph."

Manager Ye snorted through his nostrils, turned his head, and was about to leave when he suddenly took a blow to the head.

His head turned back in slow motion, looking incredulously at Bao Hui, who was behind him, holding the hilt of a double-core broadsword: "You, you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he closed his eyes and fainted.

"So weak, it seems his Warrior level isn't high."

Bao Hui casually threw the sword hilt back to his trusted subordinate, sneering, "Tie him up with a Martial Binding Rope, put him in a sack, and take him back."

"Yes, boss!"

...The next day.

Seven in the morning, at Su Duo's home.

Su Duo had been getting up very early every morning recently, completely different from when her cousin used to be around.

She woke up past six o'clock today as well, put everything she needed into her storage bag, tidied up her messy bed, and then prepared to leave.

"Mom, I'm not eating breakfast. I have something to do, so I'm leaving now!"

Su Duo was wearing a pair of sneakers and casual clothes. She had been dressed like this almost every day recently, leaving early and returning late.

During the day, she mostly cultivated with Ximen Chuifeng. Her Qi Cavity was originally better than Zhuang Sanming's, a low-grade Qi Cavity. After taking that New Upgrade Martial Pill, she had already advanced to Level 4.

She was now a genuine Level 4 Warrior!

It was just that she had been cultivating for too long recently, so she would fall asleep as soon as she got home at night and hadn't had time to tell her Father Su and Mother Su the good news yet.

"Wait, Duo Duo, breakfast is ready. Eat first before you go." Mother Su just came out of the kitchen, holding a pot of porridge.

Father Su also came out, carrying a cage of freshly steamed steamed buns. He quickly placed them on the dining table and then waved at Su Duo: "Come quickly."

"Oh, I'm coming." Su Duo was in a hurry, but for some reason, when she turned around and saw Father Su and Mother Su, she suddenly felt touched.

She came to the dining table. The fragrant meat steamed buns looked very appetizing, and her stomach, which wasn't very hungry, suddenly rumbled.

Su Duo smiled sheepishly and said, "The meat steamed buns are too fragrant, I couldn't resist."

Mother Su smiled and reached out to poke Su Duo's forehead, saying, "You, you're always so impatient and sloppy. You even forget to eat breakfast. What will you do when you go out into the world on your own later?"

Mother Su didn't ask what Su Duo had been doing outside these past few days. Children grow up and their wings are meant to harden; they didn't want to interfere too much.

"Oh, Mom, I can take care of myself." Su Duo mumbled as she bit into a meat steamed bun.
