Jiang Wang's hand, which was about to push open the door, paused in midair.
One accident after another would definitely not be an accident.
Who was targeting him?
How did they find out about him?
Jiang Wang asked himself if he had been in Zhao Country for the past few days. He had never done anything that would expose his identity. There should be no possibility of being discovered during this period of time. Finding him should be based on previous clues.
But if the person secretly manipulating these things already knew about his whereabouts, why did they wait until today to act?
Moreover, what was the basis of these numerous "accidents"? Why couldn't he detect any fluctuation of Dao elemental energy?
As these questions surfaced in his mind, Jiang Wang's hand, which had paused in midair, had already grasped a sheathed longsword.
The wooden sheath of the Shenlong Sword was simple and unadorned, but the sharpness of the Sauvignon Longing had already penetrated the sheath.
With the longsword in hand, Jiang Wang strode out of the door —
No matter who it was, he had to face them. Moreover, in this situation where "accidents" frequently occurred, he did not want to implicate the innocent.
Outside the door was a corridor. Jiang Wang quickly turned around. He suspected that if he continued to stay here, the entire inn would collapse.
But at this moment, a small knife suddenly appeared in front of him.
The knife's shape was very strange, and the way it appeared was also very peculiar.
Jiang Wang did not detect any fluctuation of elemental energy, nor did he detect the way it appeared … where it came from, how it appeared, or how it broke through space.
In short, when he caught sight of it, the knife had already appeared in front of him.
It gave off a mysterious aura.
But it only pointed the handle at him, as if it had no intention of attacking.
Jiang Wang looked at it coldly and vigilantly.
He saw the tip of the knife move forward and land on a corridor pillar not far in front of him. It seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and as a result, wood shavings swirled in the air. The knife actually started to carve words. From top to bottom, it wrote —
"I took the amulet on the streets of Linzi. Today, I pay the bill!"
Yu Beidou!
Seeing this line of words, it was not difficult to guess the source of this series of abnormalities.
Come to think of it, even though the bed had collapsed and the door had collapsed today, there was indeed no "accident" that could really endanger his life. Rather than saying that it was a plot, it was more like some kind of prank.
However …
When Jiang Wang saw this line of words, his first thought was, "Didn't I pay for a knife?"
Back then, everyone had agreed to give me a protective talisman for one blade of money, which was why I wanted it.
After the money and goods were settled, why was there still an additional charge?
Yu Beidou seemed to know what Jiang Wang was thinking. Right in front of him, the small engraving knife finished its last stroke. Suddenly, the cold light faded and it fell to the ground, turning back into a knife coin. It flipped in the air and landed in Jiang Wang's hand.
It was the one that Jiang Wang had paid!
No wonder he felt that the shape of this knife was so strange. It was clearly a mutation of a knife coin!
From this, Jiang Wang roughly knew how Yu Beidou came to find him. He had personally given a knife coin, so it was inevitable that there would be some connection between them. If a physiognomist of Yu Beidou's level wanted to do something or capture some traces, he would be completely unaware.
Although he recognized the knife coin, Jiang Wang decisively put his hands behind his back and avoided it.
The protective talisman that Yu Beidou had given him was already gone. How could he accept this knife coin?
He could return the knife coin, but he could not return the protective talisman!
Jiang Wang avoided it with his hands behind his back, but this knife coin persevered. It circled in the air like a wild bee wave and a butterfly landing on the stamen of a flower, insisting on landing in his hand.
The blue cloud mark appeared and disappeared. Jiang Wang gracefully turned around and shook it off.
The knife coin chased after him again, Jiang Wang fled again … One person and one knife coin, turning back and forth in this long and narrow corridor, fleeting and ephemeral.
Jiang Wang still did not know what the protective talisman that Yu Beidou had sold had helped him block. Although according to Chung Geng Sheng, it seemed that something had indeed happened. It was probably a curse, a kind of attack … so he should be grateful.
But then again … hadn't he already paid a knife coin?!
How could Yu Beidou's business be easy to meddle in?
His strength was far from enough, and this person was often involved in some strange things.
Jiang Wang considered himself weak and thin, so he did not want to get involved.
Who knew what Yu Beidou wanted to collect from him?
This knife coin had been chasing after him for a long time, but it finally seemed to understand something. It flew to the front of the corridor pillar and continued to carve —
"Just treat it as doing me a favor, how about it?"
He did not mention paying the bill.
Jiang Wang did not care whether the other party could see or hear him. He decisively shook his head and said, "If you have something to say, don't say it. I can't help you."
This knife coin paused, as if it was shocked by his straightforwardness. It quickly continued to carve, "I'll pay."
"This is not about money!" Jiang Wang softened his tone and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's really not convenient for me right now. You should find someone else!"
The knife coin's carving was very heavy, "Ten primordial stones."
Jiang Wang said without confidence, "I'm not short of money …"
The knife coin hovered in the air for a while and said again, "I'll teach you the top Outer Building level Taoist techniques."
"It's fate that we meet!" Jiang Wang had already taken a step forward with a smile on his face, "If there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to tell me. If I can help, I won't refuse!"
The knife coin drew in the air and erased the carvings on the corridor pillar. It stopped talking to Jiang Wang and flew out on its own.
Jiang Wang tightened his cloak and followed behind in a low profile. When he passed by the inn manager who heard the commotion and hurried over, he casually handed over a gold ingot, "Sorry for the trouble. This is the compensation for the damaged items in the inn."
The manager took the gold ingot in a daze. Before he could say anything, the linen-cloaked man had already walked far away.
The man's footsteps looked calm, but his speed was extremely fast, and there was a kind of natural and unrestrained immortal aura.
He only left behind words with an authentic Linzi accent, which made people feel like they were listening to heavenly music.
He bit the gold ingot in his hand and confirmed that it was of good quality. He couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of someone from Linzi!"
In the room on the top floor that Jiang Wang had smashed open for no reason, two lovebirds were talking on the bed.
The curtain covered the frame bed, making them look like they were hiding in a fortress.
"What was he doing just now?" The woman glanced outside through the gap in the curtain.
"I don't know." The man was still in shock.
The woman asked again, "Was he peeking at us just now? Then in a moment of excitement … he fell down? "
"I don't know." The man was dispirited.
The woman whispered, "He seems to be a Transcendent master …"
"Probably." The man hung his head dejectedly.
"It seems that although this person is Transcendent, he can't be free from vulgarity."
"Sigh." The man sighed.
"Who was he talking to just now?" The woman asked.
"I don't think there was anyone." The man was in a daze.
"Was he trying to hide his awkwardness?"
"Who knows?" The man's heart was as still as water.
"You seem to be frightened." The woman said.
The man forced a smile. "Haha, I'm not scared."
The woman glanced at him. "It's really broken."
The man didn't say anything.
"Should we report it to the authorities?" The woman asked again.
"He's already gone …" The man reacted. "Put on your clothes first!"
…
