"Creak!" The wooden door opened from the inside. Then, a figure stepped out from the wooden door. Her position was exactly half a step in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
In terms of distance and angle, it was definitely the best position for a sneak attack.
However, when Fang Zhengzhi saw the person who walked out, he felt as though his worldview had been changed, as though he had been struck by lightning above his head.
That was because the person who walked out was actually a lady. Furthermore, she was extremely beautiful. She wore a jade-green dress with three white petals that accentuated her exquisite figure. Her long hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall.
She had curved eyebrows and jet-black eyes. From her appearance, she looked delicate and pretty. Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi could sense a special aura from her.
He wasn't sure if it was because of the medicinal fragrance that was emanating from her body. In any case, Fang Zhengzhi had an illusion that the lady in front of him was like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world. She was completely untainted.
Terrifyingly pure!
Dao Hun …
Was she a lady?!
This thought flashed across Fang Zhengzhi's mind. The Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall, one of the most powerful people in the Holy Region, was actually a lady. Furthermore, she was such a young lady?
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about this, the lady turned around and looked at Fang Zhengzhi with her jet-black eyes. There was a sense of calmness and elegance in her eyes.
Of course …
When the lady noticed the metal rod in Fang Zhengzhi's hand, her calmness and elegance disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by an unexpected look of shock.
"Dong!" A dull sound was heard.
The lady's eyes widened slightly. Then, her body started to sway slowly. Then, with a "plop", she fell to the ground.
"That's it?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the lady on the ground and was slightly surprised. It was way too easy.
This kind of feeling was like you saved up for a few years and prepared to go to a big city to live in a four-door courtyard. In the end, you finally saved up enough money, but when you ran to the place, you found that there was a big discount. The four-door courtyard that originally cost a thousand taels of silver was now only a hundred taels of silver.
Was it a surprise?
Of course it was a surprise.
However, you would definitely question whether the fengshui of this courtyard was not very good, or whether something had happened, such as a person being hanged to death or something.
That was how Fang Zhengzhi felt.
He was already prepared for a massacre, but the problem was solved with just a sneak attack. This naturally made him question the woman's identity.
Could there be a mistake?
This wasn't where Dao Hun lived?
However, with such a huge signboard with the word "Dao" on it and such a secluded place, it couldn't be the residence of an ordinary disciple no matter how one looked at it.
Wait a minute.
Was it possible that she was a maid?!
"I miscalculated, I miscalculated … I didn't expect a maid to appear." Fang Zhengzhi understood immediately. It was normal for the Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall to have a maid.
Although the lady in front of him did not look like an ordinary servant, it was not surprising for the Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall, Dao Hun, to have such an elegant servant beside him.
In fact, ever since he was born in this world, Fang Zhengzhi had always dreamed of having a hundred maids. However, until now, he did not have a single maid.
Although he had won the bet with Chi Guyan, Chi Guyan, the captain of his personal maids, had never served him for a single day.
Therefore, Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously neglected some details. He did not expect that important figures would have a maid to open the door for them.
"Have I been exposed?" Fang Zhengzhi felt that under normal circumstances, he should have been exposed. After all, although the sneak attack that he used to knock the woman out was not loud, it was still quite loud.
Therefore, if Dao Hun was really in the attic, he should have charged out.
That was what Fang Zhengzhi thought. Therefore, after knocking the woman out, he immediately prepared for battle. He was waiting for Dao Hun to rush out and attack again.
However …
There was no movement in the attic.
"Is Dao Hun not at home?" Fang Zhengzhi blinked. The sky was getting dark. Why didn't he return home at this hour? Did he go out to fool around?
Of course, this was not what he was concerned about at the moment. Without further delay, he dragged the woman on the ground through the door and found that there really was no one in the attic.
Such a beautiful woman had fainted in front of him …
Should he do something that a man should do?
Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a smile, but he quickly suppressed this thought. After all, this was not a good time. If Dao Hun suddenly returned, he would be dead meat.
He walked out of the wooden door and carefully carried Yan Xiu in. When he closed the wooden door, Fang Zhengzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
He still had a chance if he was not exposed!
Since he had successfully snuck into Dao Hun's house and got a hostage, although it was just a maid, it was the first step to success.
Next, he just had to pry open the maid's mouth and get some useful information from her. For example, what time did Dao Hun return home? What were his habits, etc.
As the saying went, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never slack off.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to control the woman first. Therefore, the rope he used could not be an ordinary hemp rope. Fang Zhengzhi was well prepared for this trip to the Yin Yang Hall.
A silver-white chain appeared in Fang Zhengzhi's hand. This was a powerful binding weapon. Normally, even a Sage would not be able to break it.
Without further ado, Fang Zhengzhi passed through the courtyard of the attic and walked towards the attic. Before he entered the main hall, he could already smell a strong medicinal aroma.
Then, Fang Zhengzhi saw a huge purplish-gold cauldron in the middle of the main hall. The fire in the cauldron burned brightly. It was obviously concocting pills.
"What an … impressive cauldron!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the huge cauldron made entirely of purplish-gold and the eight beast heads carved on it. He did not need to look closely to know that this cauldron was definitely of the highest quality. It was much better than the treasure of the Heavenly Oasis Old Man, the Black Gold Cauldron.
Furthermore, judging from the medicinal aroma in the cauldron, the quality of the pills inside was definitely not low. It was also much better than the "treasures" made by the Heavenly Oasis Old Man.
A quiet attic, an independent residence, a top-notch cauldron, and extremely high quality pills in the cauldron …
He did not believe that this was not Dao Hun's place!
Fang Zhengzhi felt that his guess was correct. However, when he passed through the main hall on the first floor and went up to the second floor, he felt that something was amiss.
This was because the decorations on the second floor were all pink and purple.
Could it be that Dao Hun had a special hobby?
When Fang Zhengzhi thought of this, he shuddered and felt uncomfortable all over. Of course, this was only his guess. He did not know if it was true.
However, there was one thing that Fang Zhengzhi was still confused about. There was only one room on the second floor, and there was a bed in it.
Was there no maid's place to stay?
Or was it that the fainted servant girl had to warm the bed?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had discovered an incredible secret. It was as if he had caught hold of Dao Hun's weakness. Of course, this was just his guess.
The real mystery …
He still had to wake the girl up to find out.
…
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was wreaking havoc in the room, the herb farm a distance away from the room was already on fire and filled with rage.
"Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, spare us! No matter how brave we are, we wouldn't dare to steal the herbs in the herb farm. Fang Zhengzhi really came. He stole all the herbs in the herb farm! "The four Yin Yang Hall disciples knelt in front of the light. Four disciples of the Yin Yang Hall were kneeling in the barren herb farm and knocking their heads on the ground.
"Ten acres of herbal fields … This guy is really ruthless!" A white-haired old man glanced at the dissipating white mist and gritted his teeth.
"Decades of hard work gone down the drain!" Another black-haired elder was also infuriated. His eyes shone with a cold light.
"Damn it!"
"We have to catch him!"
"Tear this fellow into a thousand pieces, avenge the Ninth Elder, and take back our ten acres of medicinal field!"
The Yin Yang Hall disciples standing behind the two elders were also gritting their teeth. They wanted to kill Fang Zhengzhi to vent their anger.
"It's revenge, it's definitely revenge. However, the Yin Yang Hall is in the mountains. This guy must have escaped after stealing our herb farm. How are we going to find him?" A Yin Yang Hall disciple said helplessly.
"What I'm most afraid of is that he already knows where our herb farm is. We don't know when he will come back. If he really wants to destroy our herb farm, how are we going to protect it?" Another Yin Yang Hall disciple said worriedly.
"Guard it closely! Get 200 disciples here and rotate them day and night. We can't let Fang Zhengzhi destroy the herb farm again! "The white-haired elder spoke again.
"Yes, Sixth Elder. I will arrange it immediately!" A Yin Yang Hall disciple stood up immediately.
"No need!" At this moment, a voice was heard from afar. Then, a figure appeared in front of the white-haired elder.
From the moment the voice was heard to the moment the figure appeared in front of the white-haired elder.
The entire process …
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
"Greetings, Master!" The Yin Yang Hall disciples who were standing behind the two elders bowed immediately when they heard the voice.
"Hallmaster!" The two elders turned around and bowed to the figure.
"Even though the ten acres of herb farm is valuable, I don't think Fang Zhengzhi's target is the herb farm. Tell me what Fang Zhengzhi said when he appeared." The figure pointed at the four Yin Yang Hall disciples who were kneeling on the ground.
"Yes … He asked … Where is the door? That's right, he asked us where the door was. Then, he asked us to bring him to see Master. But how could we bring him to see Master? So, we ran … No, we reported this to the higher-ups immediately! "A disciple of Yin Yang Hall who was kneeling on the ground replied with a trembling voice.
"The door? See me? " The figure seemed to be in deep thought when he heard this. After a while, he nodded and said, "There's no need to guard the herb farm. Just act as if nothing happened."
"Hallmaster, you mean … We purposely let down our guard?" When an old man heard this, he looked at the confused faces of the surrounding Yin Yang Hall disciples and guessed softly.
"Yes, Fang Zhengzhi is cunning. Since he dared to come, he must have made preparations. If I'm not wrong, he's coming for me!"
"Coming for Hallmaster?"
"Yes, he doesn't have the ability to destroy Yin Yang Hall on his own. Therefore, he probably wants to capture the leader first," the figure replied.
"Then, should we set up a trap for him?"
"No need. Let him come to me. Pass down the order. Let everyone discuss where I live. I believe he will come to me."
"Yes, Master!" The disciples of Yin Yang Hall understood what was going on when they heard this.
Capture the leader first?
That was true. However, if one wanted to capture the leader without the ability, it was no different from courting death. Fang Zhengzhi was obviously courting death.
…
Yin Yang Hall, in an independent room.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't stay in the hall on the first floor. Instead, he chose to stay in the room on the second floor. This was because he could see what was happening outside from this position.
Of course, another thing was that there was a bed here. Yan Xiu could lie down on it and not continue to sleep on the cold floor.
"You're awake?" Fang Zhengzhi glanced at the lady who was slowly opening her eyes. He casually threw a pill into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Mmm mmm …" The girl's mouth was stuffed with cloth, so she couldn't scream. She could only struggle and widen her eyes.
"Stop struggling. You can't break free from these chains. If you want to live, you have to answer a few questions of mine. If not, I don't mind killing you." Fang Zhengzhi said as he continued chewing the pill.
However, as he spoke, he was paying attention to the woman's eyes from the corner of his eyes. From the woman's eyes, he could see that the woman did not seem to have much of a reaction when she heard the word 'kill'. In fact, she seemed rather calm.
It seemed like …
She was a loyal servant girl!
