Lone’s ruckus caused everyone in the inn, from the innkeeper to clerk, to complain without stopping.
On the other hand, Lone laughed happily. He was especially overjoyed when he saw the deflated expression from that clerk.
Qin Wushuang also felt helpless. He knew that with Lone’s personality, he would never swallow the discontent he had suffered overnight. If he did not vent the annoyance in his heart, he would feel uncomfortable.
After this ruckus, he felt much more comfortable.
Of course, after this disturbance, certainly they could not stay at that inn. Thus, they could only search for another one. Bao Bao laughed:
Second, I didn’t know that you know how to use your brain well.

There was a trace of pride on the corner of the Purple Flame Electric Beast’s mouth. His back appeared much more straighter than usual when he walked. He said with a laugh:
I’ve always known how to use my brain, ok?

With the crystal stones, everything was completely different after they found another inn. Immediately, the three of them were taken care of.
…
At one of the branch hideouts of the Green Tree Gang, that little thug with the name Hook was reporting to his Manor Master about the news they had received.

Manor Master Xiao, we clearly saw that guy exchanging his equipment at the door of the pawn shop. He put the goods from the storage bag into a storage ring. Then, he gave that storage bag to the pawn shop.
Hook had described everything he saw in detail.

Who are the targets?
Manor Master Xiao appeared to be rather scholarly and refined. However, when he moved his eyes, he still revealed some bandit like temperament of a local thug.

It’s three young men, the oldest isn’t older than twenty-five. There is a young teenager that doesn’t look older than fifteen.
Hook described with smiles of exultation. From his years of experience in locating targets, most likely such people were young and inexperienced. Perhaps, their family was doing well and they wanted to make their own living. Thus, in their eyes, such people were fat sheep.

You weren’t discovered by them, right?
Manor Master Xiao asked cautiously.

Ha, Manor Master, you know that we were scouting across a wall. From that angle, only we can see them and there is no way they would notice us.
Hook appeared extremely confident.
Manor Master Xiao nodded:
Great, indeed they must be fat sheep since they have a storage ring. However, before learning their identities, we can only take their money, and not their lives!

Hook nodded obediently:
Manor Master Xiao, shall we report to the Ringleader? Or is it enough to have only you go?

Manor Master Xiao smiled lightly:
How could we trouble the Ringleader with this small matter? I am enough to make the trip. For this matter, you and Biao Zi must keep your mouth shut.

If the target were men of deep experience, perhaps this Manor Master Xiao would ask the Ringleader for advice. However, the information showed that the targets were young and inexperienced men. Thus, Manor Master Xiao could not help but conceive of some ill-intentioned thoughts. He decided to act alone without the Ringleader. He had longed after a storage ring for a few years. Since he had never acquired one, how could he miss this golden opportunity bestowed by heaven?
Hook had been the Manor Master’s trusted aide for many years. He had thoroughly understood that the Manor Master wanted to seize this business that had come to the door. At the moment, he said smartly:
Please rest assured, I will not breathe a word.

Manor Master Xiao was extremely satisfied:
You two are both my trusted aides. After the business is done, you will get your share.

A trace of overwhelming gratitude at the generous favor flashed across Hook’s eyes, he said:
Thank you Manor Master.

Manor Master Xiao nodded:
Ok, there is no time to lose. Let’s go look now. I better make sure Biao Zi did not lose that person.

However, Hook said:
Manor Master, Biao Zi is best at tracking, he will not lose them. Those three guys did not seem to be experienced people at all. Otherwise, they would never have fallen into the circumstances where they had to pawn their properties.

Manor Master Xiao said seriously:
Regardless if they are experienced people, we cannot let down our guards. In the Ironwood State City, our Green Tree Gang is known to everyone. However, if the target goes outside of our territory, it will become difficult. Or if they became targeted by other mighty powerhouses, we can only let go this meat.

Although the Green Tree Gang was one among the list of other powerhouses operating in the Ironwood State City, they were definitely not the strongest. After all, they could only be counted as a local bully in the state city.
This Manor Master Xiao was only a tiny Manor Master. Above him, there were Elders, Guardians and the high Ringleader. Thus, his position was not at the core level of the Green Tree Gang.
Because of this, his resource had always been scarce. For example, he had longed for this storage ring since he had never gotten one.
Thus, this time, he was more than determined to grab hold of this fat and juicy meat.
…
With a squeaking sound, the door was opened. Bao Bao walked in and laughed when he saw Qin Wushuang meditating on the bed:
Boss, so hard working, are you not going to rest at night?

Qin Wushuang did not open his eyes and said with a smile:
I am resting.

Bao Bao opened the door and looked around, he then circled the room a couple of times. A strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Qin Wushuang seemed to notice Bao Bao’s expression without opening his eyes:
Bao Bao, do you have something to say.

Bao Bao laughed:
Boss, it seems you’ve noticed too?

Qin Wushuang laughed:
If that little vermin’s methods could hide from us, then we shall stop from making our way into the Xuan Yuan Mound.

Those two little thugs of the Green Tree Thug thought they had been well concealed and hidden by observing across a wall. Unexpectedly, they did not know that Bao Bao was at the Void Martial Stage and Qin Wushuang’s strong perception power would not lose to elite warriors at the Void Martial Stage. Thus, even across the wall, he already sensed their movements clearly.
Only, Qin Wushuang did not even put such gangsters of the society on his mind. Currently, he had clearly sensed the vermin-like thugs were persistent. One of them was bold enough to follow them here. It seemed that they had chosen to target the head of a tiger.
Hearing Qin Wushuang’s words, Bao Bao also laughed:
Boss, did you already discover them at the pawn shop?


Yes, for sure this Xuan Yuan Mound is not ordinary. Even the local thugs are at the Upper Sky Realm. It seems that it’s not some regular thugs, but a bully from a local gang. A single thug would not have the guts to come and target people with that sort of strength.

Qin Wushuang’s analysis was also reasonable and had evidence.
Bao Bao said:
Boss, should I catch that kid and ask him for some details?

Qin Wushuang gave a cold sneer:
Ask what? Don’t ask, it’ll just be more complicated. For sure that kid is just a tracker. The big fish is still not here yet.

As soon as he had finished speaking, suddenly, Bao Bao raised his eyebrow as he had sensed something. Then, the trace of a smile emerged from the corner of his mouth:
This person is not worth of thinking about, he’s here.

Qin Wushuang almost sensed him at the same time. He nodded:
He’s here.

Then, he instructed:
Go tell Second to not make any reckless moves. If he makes a move, for sure it would turn into an unending bloody situation.


Ok.
Bao Bao walked out and went to talk to Lone.
…

Manor Master Xiao, I already gathered all the information. Those three targets are staying on the east wing of the third floor. All three of them got their own rooms.
That Biao Zi was also reporting the information in detail.
After a moment of silence, Manor Master Xiao said with a sneer:
Ok, you two will wait down here, don’t let anyone interfere. I will go up and greet them myself.

After he had finished speaking, Manor Master Xiao twisted his body and rushed upstairs. The fast speed and the agility of his movements appeared extraordinary.
In fact, this Manor Master Xiao was an elite warrior at the Advanced Stage. In the human countries, such strength would definitely be in the top-tier.
However, he would not even rank among the top fifty in the Ironwood State City.
Manor Master Xiao’s light and graceful body movements was his strength. He had dropped to the ground without a sound and pulled back his body almost like a light leaf.
He slowly dropped into the corridor. Then, he held a thin bamboo straw. Inside this bamboo straw were the necessary knockout drops used by the Green Tree Gang to ambush their targets—Bewildered Sleeping Scent.
All elite warriors at the Spiritual Martial Force would collapse as soon as they smelled this scent. Even the elite warrior at the Refined Void Martial Stage could not help but fall unconsciousness after taking in a few breaths.
This sleeping scent did not possess a fatal effect. Yet, it could make people become muddle-headed and fall asleep. Since the Green Tree Gang was a gang that existed by doing sneaky deeds, the things they did were extremely low. As long as there were profits to be had, there was nothing the Green Tree Gang would not do.
Manor Master Xiao had grasped the direction and suddenly, as if that bamboo straw could play tricks, the front end opening had suddenly become flat. It slowly extended through the cracks of the window like a piece of thin paper.
Whoosh!
He puffed his cheeks and a wave of air gushed out from his mouth. Logically, he would blow the hidden Bewildered Sleeping Scent in the bamboo straw into the room.
However, the things he had expected did not happen. On the contrary, when he had puffed into this straw, it seemed he had blown into a straw with one closed end and one open end. There was no reaction at all!

How is it possible?
Manor Master Xiao was shocked. He puffed his cheeks and blew another mouthful of air.
Yet, this blowing air seemed to have hit a dead end. The mouthful of air hit the closed end and flew backwards. With this, that Manor Master Xiao felt a wave of refreshing sensation in his oral cavity. Next, he smelled a familiar, yet dire scent with his nose.

No!
Instantly, Manor Master Xiao knew it had all went wrong. Clearly, the the
Bewildered Sleeping Scent’ had been blown backof!
Only, as soon the had air blown back, it had immediately entered his oral cavity and his nose. It travelled at a rapid speed and continued to spread to his four limbs. In the blink of an eye, Manor Master Xiao felt his eyes become heavy and his legs weakened as he lost consciousness.
When the window was opened, Qin Wushuang held that bamboo straw with one hand and use the other hand to lift Manor Master Xiao to threw into the room. He called out in a whisper:
Third, go downstairs and grab those two thugs. Don’t hurt them.

With a swishing sound, Bao Bao scrambled downstairs when he received the instruction.
Of course, it was as simple as stretching out a hand for someone as elite as Bao Bao to deal with those two little thugs. Before those two guys had realized what was going on, Bao Bao had sealed their acupoints and brought them back.
Qin Wushuang sealed their mute acupoints and smiled coldly:
You two have been tailing us three brothers since nightfall. You still could not forget us at the middle of the night?

Hearing Qin Wushuang’s words, those two were frightened stiff. They knew that from beginning to end, their actions had been found out. They became even more terror-stricken when they noticed Manor Master Xiao who was collapsed on the ground like a pile of soft mud. They opened their mouth in an attempt to speak, yet they realized they could not even utter a sound!
