Translator: 549690339

J inzhou City.

Princess Ping'an had already returned to the capital overnight with Ye An, escorted all the way by the Dragon Suppression Guard. The haste of her return made Xia Zhiqiu more certain that something must have happened at the Prince of Ping'an's Mansion in Capital.

However, Xia Zhiqiu didn't make any other moves. All he needed to do now was wait for the order from the Capital, and then he could leave Jinzhou City and return to the Capital.

At this critical moment, it was natural not to do anything so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. As Zheng Wanchun was already following Xia Zhiqiu, he also made preparations to leave Jinzhou City.

It was unclear whether it was because the words of Princess Ping'an were left behind or because Xia Zhiqiu was full of reverence for the high monks of Jinshan Temple. In any case, they were all pleased with the hosts and guests.

During this period, compared to before, Zheng Wanchun's meetings with Liang Sheng became even more frequent. After all, he could see that Liang Sheng's “condition” was deteriorating and that he might not have much time left. If he went to the capital, it would be difficult for them to meet again in this lifetime.

As for Flower Mother, just as Liang Sheng had anticipated, she had once again created the opportunity for a chance encounter, only this time her methods were much more sophisticated.

She was like a gentlewoman who stopped after a brief taste, Liang Sheng couldn't help but feel a bit more favorable toward her compared to the last time he had seen her and ignored her.

For some reason, she would always inadvertently encounter Liang Sheng, and gradually, they would chat and get along better and better.

Liang Sheng couldn't help but admire Flower Mother for achieving this. In order to maintain her image, she had specifically rented a mansion not far from Shengde Building, but he didn't know if she had bought or rented it.

However, Flower Mother still had to return to the Lifeless Sect headquarters regularly to report on her progress. She didn't know that her whereabouts had long been clearly known to Liang Sheng, who was almost aware of the location of the Lifeless Sect headquarters.

With the help of the Attribute Panel Concealment, as long as Liang Sheng does not mess up, Flower Mother, who is in the Postnatal Sixth Realm, will never be able to discover that she is being followed by him.

In the blink of an eye, another half month had passed, and Zheng Wanchun was more relaxed. He inadvertently revealed that in a month's time, he would be leaving Jinzhou City with Xia Zhiqiu.

Liang Sheng calculated the time secretly, preparing to implement his plan. After that, he would solve the problem and be free as a bird in the sky and a fish in the vast sea.

Zheng Wanchun was about to leave Jinzhou City, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Shengde Building.

At this moment, it was sunset. Zhang Rongjun had finished his work at the teahouse and finally had time to find Liang Sheng. Before he knew it, they started talking about the scene of Princess Ping'an going to Jinshan Temple to pickup the Prince.

“Brother Sheng, it's such a pity that you didn't go to Jinshan Temple. Who would have thought that the Prince of Ping'an would be stranded among the common people and at the Jinshan Temple of all places?”

Zhang Rongjun marveled at the story. After all, in this world, merchants and businessmen can only strive for wealth but not for high culture.

If they achieved success in martial arts, wealth would come easily to them, just like why Liang Sheng, as the tavern owner, had no more wealth than Zhang Rongjun but had a much higher status than him.

That's because he was a disciple of the martial arts family, the Liang Family's Younger Generation. Reality was that cruel.

Liang Sheng didn't care about this. After waiting for Zhang Rongjun to stop talking about it, he smiled and said, “Alright, it's really boring to listen to you talk about this. How about 1 take you to visit Sheriff Zheng today?”

“County Government Office Sheriff Zheng?”

Zhang Rongjun naturally knew who the other party was, so he was more than willing to hear Liang Sheng's invitation. At the beginning, it was said that Niu Ben, the local ruffian, was afraid of Liang Sheng, but it would be more accurate to say that he was afraid of Zheng Wanchun.

“Where are we going? What do I need to prepare?”

“Don't be so nervous, it's just old friends getting together. Too formal would be no good. 1 already arranged to have drinks with him before you came looking for me today, and it will be at your favorite place.”

Zhang Rongjun tacitly smiled and naturally knew where Liang Sheng was talking about, “I'll pay for everything tonight, and you better not try to steal.”

Liang Sheng naturally wouldn't oppose, and the two immediately got in a horse carriage. The carriage swayed and went to a place, and as for the direction, it was naturally towards Yichun Building.

However, when they passed by the mansion that Flower Mother had invested heavily in, Liang Sheng couldn't help but smile when he noticed the sedan at the door.

After observing and summarizing the patterns for so many days, today was supposed to be the day when Flower Mother wouldn't leave the Mansion. Seeing the sedan proved that there were no surprises.

“Right, tonight the two of us will just drink and not overwork ourselves. After all, our bodies can't handle those enchantresses anymore.”

At this moment, Zhang Rongjun changed the subject and said that he was considering Liang Sheng's well-being. Although Zhang Rongjun's hair and beard were white, he seemed to be in better shape than Liang Sheng. As just drinking was the reason for his visit today, Liang Sheng did not insist on it.

When they arrived at Yichun Building, the madame was no longer Spring Lady, but the former top courtesan, Lady Liu.

Upon seeing Liang Sheng, Lady Liu's mouth turned up at the corners. An important customer had arrived!

“Master Sheng, it's been a long time since you've been here.”

Lady Liu leaned in, but Liang Sheng took a step back, “I can't handle you myself. My old friend here can, though. Just make sure he's taken care of. All the expenses tonight are on him, so manage it.”

Lady Liu leaned into Zhang Rongjun's embrace, and he, being an old hand in this business, didn't mind.

“Bring out the best wine and the prettiest girls tonight, money is no concern.”

With that, he stuffed a stack of silver notes into Lady Liu's bosom, and her eyes lit up.

“Ladies, come out to entertain our guests.”

Liang Sheng and Zhang Rongjun laughed as they were ushered inside by a group of ladies. Once seated, however, the banquet didn't commence.

“Lady Liu, prepare some tea and snacks for now. We need to wait for our esteemed guest, Sheriff Zheng. Once he arrives, we'll start the banquet.”

Upon hearing that Zheng Wanchun was coming, Lady Liu perked up, her enthusiasm rising even higher than before.

In their line of work, having the protection of someone like Zheng Wanchun meant nobody would dare to cause trouble.

Unfortunately, Zheng Wanchun couldn't make it that night. Just as he was about to leave, a beggar blocked his way and handed him a note.

At first, Zheng Wanchun was suspicious, but after reading the note, his expression changed drastically. He sent a message to Yichun Building to apologize for not being able to keep his appointment, and then hurried to the County Government Office with the little beggar.

Yichun Building.

Zheng Wanchun's absence disappointed Zhang Rongjun and Lady Liu, but Liang Sheng took the initiative to lighten the mood.

“Bring out the good food, good wine, and good ladies all at once!”

Soon, the party fell into a drunken haze. Liang Sheng quickly became intoxicated and unconscious, carried off to an upstairs room to rest. Zhang Rongjun fared no better, and after finding a girl, he went straight to sleep.

Just past midnight, with the building bustling outside, the unconscious Liang Sheng opened his eyes. His drunkenness seemingly vanished.

He quietly opened the window and slipped out, using the Attribute Panel Concealment function and his Post-Natal “Eighth” Level without anyone noticing.

In no time, Liang Sheng arrived at Flower Mother's temporary residence, skillfully bypassing the guards on patrol.

The sedan chair outside was still there.

Without wasting any more time, Liang Sheng scaled the wall of the mansion without disturbing anyone. He had already learned where Flower Mother's room was.

When he entered Flower Mother's room, she didn't notice anything until Liang Sheng's murderous intent was revealed, and she suddenly woke up.

“Liang Sheng!”

These were her last thoughts as Liang Sheng didn't hesitate, striking her temple with a single palm.

In her final moments, she couldn't believe that a martial arts waste from the Liang family could so easily take her out.

Holy Sect…

Her consciousness plunged into limitless darkness as Liang Sheng pulled out the Corpse Dissolving Powder and sprinkled it without hesitation on Flower Mother's body. In a short while, Flower Mother disappeared from the world without a trace.

Second Uncle, even though it took me decades to send “Second Aunt” to you, you shouldn't be lonely anymore.

After making sure no traces were left behind, Liang Sheng completely melded into the night, leaving without a sound.

By the time Liang Sheng returned to his room in Yichun Building, the area outside was still lively, and no one knew he had left.

At that moment, a fire suddenly erupted in the southern city. The County Ya Catcher and his men surrounded a mansion, with not just Zheng Wanchun present but even Xia Zhiqiu personally arrived. The Liang and Wu Families' elite forces were already on standby.

“As expected, it's the remnants of the Lifeless Sect. Kill them!”

At that moment, Liang Sheng looked out his window at the faint glow of fire from the southern city, a small smile playing on the corners of his mouth. This was part of his plan.

If he couldn't resolve the problem that had plagued him for so long, then why not just eliminate the people causing the trouble?

I really just want to be a good person, so why do they always force me?
