Cultivation Starts From Simplifying the Exercises

  Chapter 56 Closing the Door

  Chen Fei's expression changed involuntarily, but he didn't panic. Instead, he let the little boy enter the courtyard and closed the gate.

   "Do you know where Uncle Chi is now?" Chen Fei sat opposite the little boy and asked.

   "I don't know either, but Uncle Chi didn't come to see me today."

  The little boy licked the candied fruit left on his finger, and said: "Uncle Chi said, if he doesn't come to me one day, let me come to you and tell you to run quickly, that's all."

   "So good, this is for you!"

  Chen Fei took out a tael of silver, the little boy's eyes widened, and he quickly hid the tael of silver in his arms. After bowing and thanking Chen Fei, he bounced away.

  In the courtyard, Chen Fei frowned slowly.

   This child should be Chi Defeng's second move, used to warn Chen Fei, but unexpectedly it was actually used. The key now is who caught Chi Defeng.

  In the past month, Chen Fei stayed quietly in the house to practice, and except for going out occasionally, he didn't conflict with anyone. And Chi Defeng also lived in seclusion, at most helping Chen Fei buy some medicinal materials.

   "Is it still the shallow water gang?"

  Chen Fei remembered that a month ago, he was targeted by gangs for selling pills. If you want to talk about suspicion, it is estimated that the shallow water gang is the biggest.

   It’s just that they all took the initiative to hide, and that Qianshui gang still chases after them like this?

  Chen Fei returned to the alchemy room, packed up all the things, and put them in the space. For safety reasons, this courtyard can no longer be inhabited.

  After a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei eliminated the traces in the courtyard and left here.

   "What news does the guest officer need?"

   "I want to find someone."

  In a house in an alley, Chen Fei was wearing a bamboo hat, covering most of his face.

  Here is Xingfen City, which specializes in inquiring about news. As long as the money is enough, most of the less secret news can be found. There are several such spots in Xingfen City.

  Chen Fei was not sure if he could be helped here, so he could only come here with the attitude of giving it a try.

   "Can the guest officer describe the characteristics of this person?"

  Chen Fei briefly talked about Chi Defeng's appearance after his disguise, and did not leave any portraits. The main reason is that Chen Fei doesn't trust such a place very much.

   They can sell information to you, and of course they can sell your information to other people.

   "Guest officer, wait a moment, I'll have someone check it out."

  The shopkeeper passed the note in his hand behind him, and a quarter of an hour later, another note came up from behind.

   "How?" Chen Fei couldn't help but lean forward.

"found it."

  The shopkeeper glanced at the note, looked up at Chen Fei, and said, "Fifty taels, the guest officer will know the whereabouts of this person."

"Can!"

  Chen Fei nodded, took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket and put it on the counter. The shopkeeper took the money away with a smile and handed the note to Chen Fei at the same time.

  Chen Fei opened the note, and there were three words written on it, Qianshui Gang!

  Chen Fei's eyes narrowed involuntarily, unexpectedly, it was really Qianshui Gang who did it. Or was it because of the matter of the elixir? Or for other reasons.

   "Someone saw your friend being taken away by the Qianshui Gang. He should have suffered some injuries."

  The shopkeeper picked up the teacup slowly, took a sip, and said, "If you want to save your friend, we can also build a bridge between them. But in the end, we can't guarantee it."

   "Is the information of Qianshui Gang for sale?" Chen Fei didn't answer the shopkeeper's words.

   "Of course, if the price is right, any news can be bought and sold."

"How much?"

   "Three hundred taels, we can give you the specific news of the Qianshui Gang, and we can even give you the place where your friend is currently imprisoned." The shopkeeper nodded with a smile.

"it is good!"

  Chen Fei took out a bank note and put it on the counter. The shopkeeper picked up the banknote and checked it, but found nothing wrong. After tapping the table a few times, a piece of paper was handed up from behind.

  Chen Fei took the paper, scanned the ten lines at a glance, and frowned slightly involuntarily.

   "Guest officer, is there anything else you need?"

"No."

  Chen Fei shook his head, got up and stood up, just about to go out, turned to look at the shopkeeper, and asked: "I came here to inquire about the news, the shopkeeper won't sell it again?"

   "Hahaha, the guest officer was joking, this shop doesn't do this kind of thing, please rest assured." The shopkeeper laughed loudly, and said firmly.

   "I feel relieved when the shopkeeper says so."

  Chen Fei showed a smile on his face, nodded slightly, turned and left the shop.

  The shopkeeper saw Chen Fei walking away, tapped the counter three times, and immediately someone appeared behind the shopkeeper.

   "The alchemist the Qianshui Gang is looking for is here. You sell this news to the Qianshui Gang, and the price should be higher."

  The shopkeeper recalled what Chen Fei said just now, and couldn't help showing a sneer on his face, saying: "The man just now is probably a young man, send someone who is more active to follow, and then the position can be sold for another price."

   "Let's do it, little one!"

  The person who came came bowed down, gave orders in the back hall, and a person walked out immediately. The kind that looks ordinary and disappears when thrown in the crowd is suitable for tracking others.

   "Go."

  The shopkeeper glanced at the man and nodded in satisfaction.

  The man showed a flattering smile on his face, bowed to the shopkeeper, and then left the shop.

   "Another sum of money has entered the account."

  The shopkeeper couldn't help showing a smile on his face, leaning comfortably on the chair, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea in it. Integrity? What is that, does it smell like money?

  The shopkeeper rose up, hummed a few ditties casually, stood up, and wanted to take a break, when suddenly there was loud shouting from the back hall, but it stopped abruptly after a while.

  The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, his nose moved slightly, and a **** smell wafted into his nose.

   At this moment, the face of the shopkeeper really changed drastically. There were several experts in the bone-forging realm in the back hall, but they were silent at this moment.

  The shopkeeper is in a meat training environment, so he dared not stay there any longer. Just as he was about to run away, he saw a person walking out from the back hall.

"It's you…"

  The shopkeeper looked at Chen Fei as if he had seen something strange.

  Chen Fei glanced at the shopkeeper, stepped forward to close the door of the shop with a cold expression, and the whole shop was plunged into darkness. Only the faint light from the gap in the door shone on the shopkeeper's face, showing a mottled appearance.

  When Chen Fei closed the door, the shopkeeper wanted to run away, but these two legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they were too heavy to move.

"what are you going to do!"

  The shopkeeper swallowed, pointed at Chen Fei, and growled in a low voice, but his trembling fingers couldn't become stiff no matter what.

   "Just now you said that you would not sell my news, you broke your promise." Chen Fei looked at the shopkeeper, shook his head and said.

   "Do you know who is behind this store? If there is something, we can discuss it!"

  Looking at Chen Fei's attitude, the shopkeeper's eyes widened in fear, and he planned to take out the backer from behind to stabilize Chen Fei.

   And the shopkeeper did not lie, such a place of buying and selling information is naturally offending people. If the background is not strong enough, this shop will not be able to gain a foothold in Xingfen City.

  Chen Fei nodded, the shopkeeper just put a smile on his face, the next moment, a cold light lit up in the room.

  The shopkeeper's body froze, his heart was pierced, his eyes fixed on Chen Fei, and Chen Fei looked at each other expressionlessly.

  The shopkeeper's hand hangs to the side weakly, as long as Chen Fei moves forward, he can activate the mechanism under the counter. However, Chen Fei was standing in the distance.
