"Creak!" The wooden door opened from inside out . Then, a figure slowly stepped out from the door . She was half a step in front of where Fang Zhengzhi was .
From location and angle, she was in the position for an ambush .
However, when Fang Zhengzhi saw who stepped out, his mind changed completely and he was completely thunderstruck .
This was because a woman stepped out . Furthermore, it was an extremely attractive woman . Three white flowers were embroidered on her inky-green dress, which covered her petite figure . Her long hair came all the way down to her waist .
Her curvy eyebrows and her dark eyes made her extremely attractive in terms of appearance . More importantly, this woman exuded a particular aura .
It may be because of the aromatic smell of medicine she gave off but Fang Zhengzhi felt as if this woman was like a heavenly spirit who had come down to the mortal plane .
She was terrifyingly pure!
Dao Hun…
Dao Hun was a woman?!
This notion flashed past in Fang Zhengzhi's mind . Could the Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall and one of the most powerful people in the Holy Region actually be a woman? And such a young one too?
Right when Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about this, the woman turned around and looked at Fang Zhengzhi with her black eyes, which revealed a plain and elegant look .
Of course…
The woman looked at the metal bar which Fang Zhengzhi raised high above his head . Then, her elegance and calm disappeared . Instead, a look of shock crossed her face .
"Thud!" A dull sound .
The woman blinked her eyes and then, her body shook . Afterward, with a 'thud', she collapsed on the ground .
"Is it done?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the woman on the ground and he felt strange . This was way too simple .
It was akin to saving money for a few years so that you could buy a nice estate in the city . After you had saved the required amount, you realized that one of the estates was being sold at a huge discount . An estate which required 1000 taels of silver now only needed 100 .
Surprised?
A delightful surprise .
However, you would surely question whether the feng shui of this estate was good . If not, could it be that something had happened there? Did someone hang himself in this house?
This was what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking .
He was prepared to fight viciously but instead, he solved this problem with a single whack from his metal stick . This made him doubt the girl's identity .
Could he have made a mistake?
Was this not where Dao Hun lived?
However, the signboard with the word 'Dao' and its quiet location indicated that this was no place for an ordinary disciple to stay .
Wait a moment .
Could she be a servant?
"Oh no, oh no… I did not expect that servant would come out . " Fang Zhengzhi did not know what to do . It was all too normal for the Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall to have servants .
While this girl did not seem to be an ordinary servant, it was no surprise for the Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall to possess a female servant of this caliber .
In fact, since he first came to this world, Fang Zhengzhi had always dreamt of being served by a hundred beautiful female servants . However, until now, he did not even have a single one .
Of course, he won his bet with Chi Guyan . However, as the 'captain' of his team of female servants, she had never served him once .
Hence, in Fang Zhengzhi's mind, he would occasionally neglect certain details, such as the fact that prominent figures would have female servants opening their doors for them .
"Have I been exposed?" Under normal circumstances, Fang Zhengzhi knew that his cover would have been blown . After all, while that whack was not loud, it did cause a commotion .
Hence, if Dao Hun were inside, he would have come out with guns blazing .
This was what he had thought . After he knocked the girl unconscious, he prepared for battle and waited for Dao Hun to rush out before administering another whack .
However…
Not a single sound could be heard from the block .
"Could it be that Dao Hun is not at home?" Fang Zhengzhi blinked his eyes . It was rather late, so where could he be if he were not at home?
Of course, this was not something that he should be concerned about . Without wasting any time, he dragged the woman into the room and realized that in the entire building, there was not a single soul .
With such a beautiful woman lying unconscious in front of him…
Should he not do what all men would do?
A smile crept across Fang Zhengzhi's face but he quickly suppressed this thought . After all, this was not a good time . If Dao Hun rushed back now, he would be screwed .
He walked out of the wooden door once more and carefully brought Yan Xiu inside . Then, he closed the door and sighed in relief .
He was not yet exposed!
While he had successfully made his way to Dao Hun's house, and got hold of a beautiful hostage, his first step was successful .
The next thing he had to do was to get her to talk . He hoped he could obtain useful information from her, such as when Dao Hun normally came home and what was his daily routine .
Know yourself and know your enemies and you shan't fear a hundred battles .
Importantly, he had to subdue this woman first . Hence, he did not tie her with any ordinary ropes . Before he came to the Yin Yang Hall, Fang Zhengzhi had already made his preparations .
Silvery-white chains appeared in Fang Zhengzhi's hands . These items were very ideal for tying people up . Normally, even a Sage could not break free from them .
Without wasting any word, he tied the girl up and walked through the courtyard of this pavilion . As he walked to the main room of the pavilion, he could smelt medicinal aromas .
Then, Fang Zhengzhi saw a purplish-golden cauldron in the center of the main room . A fire burned underneath the cauldron . Evidently, someone was cultivating pills .
"What a… powerful cauldron!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the giant cauldron made from purple gold . On it, eight beast heads were carved into it . Without even looking, he was sure that the quality of this cauldron was supreme . Compared to the Heavenly Oasis Saint's black gold cauldron, it was way superior .
Furthermore, from the aroma of the medicines in the cauldron, he estimated the quality of the medicines inside was good too . They were much better than the ones the Heavenly Oasis Saint made .
A quiet pavilion and an independent living space . A top-quality cauldron with top-quality pills inside…
If you said this was not where Dao Hun lived, no one would believe you!
Fang Zhengzhi knew that his guess was correct . However, after he walked through the main room on the first floor and climbed onto the second floor, he realized that something was amiss .
This was because the second room was decorated in pink and purple .
Could Dao Hun have unique tastes?
As Fang Zhengzhi thought about this, an idea popped into his mind, making him deeply uncomfortable, Of course, this was just a mere guess . He did not even know if it were true .
However, Fang Zhengzhi still had his doubts . On the second floor, there was a room with a single bed inside .
Where did the female servant live?
Could it be that the unconscious female servant shared Dao Hun's bed?
Fang Zhengzhi felt as if he had stumbled across a great secret . He felt like he had gotten hold of Dao Hun's Achilles' Heel . Of course, these were all guesses .
The true secret… .
He had to wake the girl up first .
…
Just when Fang Zhengzhi was doing as he pleased in the pavilion, the herb farm not too far away shone with a flaming light . Rage filled the atmosphere .
"Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, spare us! We would never dare to steal the herbs in the herb farm . Fang Zhengzhi came! He stole the herbs!" The four Yin Yang Hall disciples knelt down in the barren herb farm and kowtowed non-stop .
"Ten acres of farmland… he actually did it!" One of the elders, whose hair was white, looked at the dissipated white fog and gritted his teeth .
"Decades of hard work and he destroyed it all in a single night!" Another old man, whose hair was blacker, was infuriated too . His eyes shone with a cold light .
"Despicable!"
"We must catch him!"
"We'll shatter his body to avenge Ninth Elder and take back our land!"
The two Yin Yang Hall disciples behind the two elders gritted their teeth too . They could not wait to kill Fang Zhengzhi to release their anger .
"Revenge, yes . We must take revenge . However, the Yin Yang Hall is located inside the mountains . How can we find him after he stole our herbs?" Another Yin Yang Hall disciple asked helplessly .
"I fear that now that he knows where our herb farm is, we can't predict when he will come next . If he's bent on destroying our herb farm, how can we protect the remaining dozens of acres?" Another Yin Yang Hall disciple said anxiously .
"Guard it tightly! We'll get 200 disciples and get them to work on shifts . We can't let Fang Zhengzhi destroy our herb farm!" The elder with white hair said .
"Yes, Sixth Elder! I'll arrange it!" One of the Yin Yang Hall disciples stood up .
"No need!" At this moment, a voice came from afar . Then, a figure appeared in front of Sixth Elder .
From the moment the voice sounded until its appearance in front of Sixth Elder…
It only took the blink of an eye .
"Greetings master!" When the two Yin Yang Hall disciples behind the two elders heard this voice, they bowed immediately .
"Hallmaster!" The two elders turned around and bowed too .
"While the cost of the land is not cheap, I don't think Fang Zhengzhi is after our herb farm . Tell me, what did Fang Zhengzhi say when he first appeared?" The figure pointed at the four kneeling disciples .
"Yes… he started by asking… where's the main door? Yes, that's what he asked . Then, he said he wanted us to bring him to see master . However, how can we do that? Then, we ran… no, we reported to our superiors straightaway!" One of the disciples replied, his voice quavering .
"Main door? See me?" When the figure heard that, he thought for a bit . Then, he nodded his head and said, "There's no need to guard the herb farm . Continue as if nothing has happened . "
"Hallmaster… should we lower our guard?" When one of the elders heard that, he looked at the disciples' confused faces and asked in a tiny voice .
"Yes, Fang Zhengzhi is crafty . Since he's here, he's prepared . If I am right, he's here for me!"
"Here for Hallmaster?"
"Yes, he can't destroy the Yin Yang Hall alone . Hence, he wants to decapitate our sect first," replied the human shadow .
"Should we lay a trap for him?"
"No need, let him find me . Spread my order . Get everyone to talk about where I live . He'll naturally come for me like this . "
"Yes, master!" When the Yin Yang Hall disciples heard this, they immediately understood .
To catch the thieves, one must catch their leader first .
This principle was simple . However, if one could not catch the leader, then it was akin to sending oneself to a sure death . Fang Zhengzhi was evidently on a path to death .
…
Yin Yang Hall . The solitary pavilion .
Fang Zhengzhi did not wait in the main room downstairs . Instead, he chose the room on the second floor . Like this, he could monitor what was going on outside .
More importantly, there was a bed there . Yan Xiu could lie on it to rest . He did not have to lie on the cold hard ground .
"Are you awake?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the woman who was slowly opening her eyes . He took a pill, placed it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed .
"Mmm mmm…" The woman's mouth was stuffed with cloth and naturally, she could not shout . All she could do was to struggle helplessly as she looked around her .
"There's no use struggling . You can't break open these chains . If you want to live, answer my questions . If not, I don't mind killing you," said Fang Zhengzhi as he chewed his pills .
However, as he said that, he noticed the look in her eyes . He could clearly see that she did not show much emotion when he said the word 'kill' . Instead, she looked at him calmly .
It seemed like…
She was a truly loyal servant!
A smile crept across Fang Zhengzhi's face as he said, "Of course, if you don't fear death, we can talk in another way . How about I ravish you completely first?"
