"You transferred over a thousand men from the family to Gazing Dragon Mountain for the previous operation."
The young man's emotions finally returned to normal. He took a deep breath and said, "But in the end, the number of men you brought back was less than thirty percent. In addition to the two thousand men you brought over, you actually made the family deploy four thousand men for this operation! Most importantly, in the end, you didn't bring anything back for me! You've really disappointed me! "
Steward Bao broke out in cold sweat and quickly said, "Young Master, it's not that I didn't do my best! Originally, Lin Dongpeng was indeed like a turtle in a jar, but who knew … "
"You've already told me about this back then!"
The young man's emotions did not improve after hearing this. Instead, he became even more furious. "Over a thousand men and you, a top-notch expert, surrounded him, but only five of you managed to bring him away! These few days, every time I think about this matter, the anger in my heart keeps rising! "
"Young Master, this group of people is really strange! Especially the young man who led them. He was clearly injured by me, but he still appeared in front of me in the end, full of vigor. Furthermore, he was the one who broke through the encirclement with the heavily injured Steward Long and Lin Dongpeng, and disappeared without a trace! "
The young man raised his brows and asked indifferently, "Then, did you find out the young man's identity?"
Steward Bao was instantly at a loss for words. He shook his head guiltily and said, "This subordinate has been busy searching the mountain for the past few days. I didn't think about finding out the young man's identity!"
"Idiot!"
The young man jumped up from his chair in anger. "You idiot! Since you already met him, why didn't you just kill him? I know, it must be because of your high and mighty heart, right? In the end, you let him go, only to be bitten by him. Not only that, you were bitten by him, but you still didn't know to find out the identity of that person? You're already so old, have you been living like a dog all this time? "
"Yes, this subordinate deserves to die. This subordinate is stupid!"
Steward Bao said. "Young Master, please give me another chance. I will definitely find out the identity of that mysterious young man! Then, I will drag him out and bring him to Young Master! "
"Hmph!"
The young man snorted coldly and said indifferently, "If this Young Master has to rely on you for everything, then I'll really be trash. You don't need to look for him anymore. He's already in Donglin Manor. I'd like to ask you, can you barge into Donglin Manor, bring him out, and hand him over to me? "
Steward Bao's expression changed and he lowered his head without saying another word.
Obviously, it was impossible to barge into Donglin Manor by force. If it was really that easy to break into Donglin Manor, then they wouldn't have had to pay such a huge price to kill Lin Dongpeng at Mount Gazing Dragon!
"But if I don't teach this fellow a lesson, I won't be able to rest easy!"
To be honest, Steward Bao's killing intent towards Qin Yi had far exceeded his hatred towards Lin Dongpeng! If not for Qin Yi's sudden appearance, Lin Dongpeng would have long become a ghost under his knife!
"Naturally, I won't let this matter rest just like that."
The corners of the young man's mouth curled up slightly, his dark eyes surging with thick murderous intent, "However, Lin Dongpeng is not my only target. Lin Dongpeng's expedition this time is for House Donglin's mine. Something happened a few days ago, causing House Donglin to suffer heavy losses. According to Lin Dongpeng's investigation, it's the work of a traitor! "
Steward Bao looked at the young man in confusion. "Please forgive this subordinate's stupidity, but I can't see the connection between the two incidents!"
"Idiot! I, Lin Yangcheng, will not let go of Lin Dongpeng's target! Someone who can touch House Donglin's mine is no ordinary person in House Donglin! If we can capture the traitor of House Donglin, not only will House Donglin suffer heavy losses, but we'll also be able to uncover the mastermind behind all this. Not only will we be able to deal with House Donglin, but we'll also be able to make the mastermind suffer a great deal! "
Steward Bao's eyes lit up when he heard this. "What a brilliant plan, young master! Killing two birds with one stone! This subordinate will do everything in my power to accomplish this task for you, young master! But who is the traitor of House Donglin? "
Lin Yangcheng shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure about that either. However, I think that with Lin Dongpeng's means, he should be able to find out who it is soon! Once he finds out who it is, it won't be long before they make their move! Find a place to hide for the next few days and keep an eye on the situation there. If they make a move, be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! Bring the man back to me! "
Steward Bao's expression grew solemn. "Yes, young master!"
… …
Time flew by in a flash. Another seven days had passed!
During this time, Qin Yi cultivated while sending the Skysnatcher Mole to keep an eye on Eighth Elder Lin Jing's movements.
From the Skysnatcher Mole's intelligence, he'd learned that Lin Jing lived a very regular life. Apart from dealing with family affairs, he spent most of his time in his own residence.
Neither Donglin Manor nor Lin Jing's own residence was a good place to make a move. After all, Lin Jing was an elder of House Donglin. Assassinating him in a place like this would undoubtedly bring him great trouble!
Lin Dongpeng didn't choose to deal with Lin Jing openly because he didn't want the matter to blow up. After all, it was a family scandal. It wouldn't be good if word got out! If Qin Yi really killed Lin Jing in Donglin Manor, Lin Dongpeng wouldn't spare him even if he knew the truth!
As for Lin Jing's own residence, it was his private property. Through the Skysnatcher Mole's investigation, the place was heavily guarded. There was almost no chance for him to make a move!
In other words, Qin Yi's only chance was on the road Lin Jing took from Donglin Manor back to his own residence!
"My injuries have healed and my cultivation has stabilized!"
Qin Yi stood up, stretched his muscles, and said, "With my peak combat strength, I should be able to deal with his two guards first if I use Shadow Kill!"
To be honest, the third form of the Seven Demise Sword Art was a very powerful sword technique. Although it couldn't kill enemies on a large scale like Star Fall, it was still a piece of cake for it!
"However, Lin Jing will definitely be alerted if I do that. If he flees at full speed, even I won't be able to catch up! "
