Chapter 164 Mysterious Organization

When Jiang Fengyue returned to the Snake King's courtyard, Xue Bing had not yet woken up, and Lu Xiaofeng was also taking care of her with great concern.

The Snake King was overjoyed to see Jiang Fengyue and rushed forward, saying, "You've already met Gongsun Lan?"

Jiang Fengyue nodded.

The Snake King breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "That's wonderful! It seems you truly have the ability to escape from Gongsun Lan's clutches."

Jiang Fengyue shook her head and said with a wry smile, "It's just a pity that it wasn't me who escaped, but Gongsun Lan."

The Snake King was taken aback, then exclaimed in astonishment, "She can escape? She can escape after all?"

Jiang Fengyue drew two short swords from her waist, with two fluttering ribbons tied to their hilts.

He said in a deep voice, "If she hadn't escaped, I wouldn't have ended up with two swords in my hands."

The Snake King recognized the two swords; he knew them all too well. Gongsun Lan's sword overlapped with the terrifying figure in his memory, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

His head started to throb again. He leaned on the wide chair and sat down, muttering, "It's her sword—"

Jiang Fengyue extended a finger and pressed it on the Snake King's temple, channeling her internal energy. In no time, the Snake King's headache subsided.

Jiang Fengyue sighed and said, "Don't think about this anymore. I already know where her hideout is. I'll set off to find her tomorrow."

The Snake King asked in surprise, "You're going to kill her?"

Jiang Fengyue shook her head and said, "I have no grudge against her, so I can't guarantee that I will kill her for you. But from now on, she will not bother you again."

The Snake King smiled wryly and said, "That's enough."

Suddenly, a heavy voice came from the darkness again, saying, "I'll go too."

The speaker was Lu Xiaofeng. He hadn't slept for a day and a night in order to take care of Xue Bing, as if he was afraid that Xue Bing would leave him at any moment.

Seeing the weathered Lu Xiaofeng, Jiang Fengyue sighed and said, "Old Lu, you should stay here with peace of mind. You not only have to take care of Miss Xue, but also ensure the safety of the Snake King."

The Snake King asked in surprise, "My safety? Is someone going to come and kill me?"

Jiang Fengyue nodded and said, "The Embroidered Bandit will come to kill you."

The reason is that the Embroidered Bandit is not Gongsun Lan, but Jin Jiuling. In order to sow discord between Lu Xiaofeng and Gongsun Lan, Jin Jiuling will definitely try to kill the Snake King and then frame Gongsun Lan.

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and asked, "The Embroidered Bandit? Who exactly is the Embroidered Bandit?"

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "Once Xue Bing wakes up, perhaps everyone will know the answer."

Xue Bing may not have seen Jin Jiuling's true face, but she can definitely prove that the person who attacked her was not from the Red Shoes organization.

Lu Xiaofeng was moved and said, "Alright, go ahead, I'll wait for you."

The two remained silent. The Snake King poured them a cup of wine, and Jiang Fengyue and Lu Xiaofeng clinked glasses and drank it down in one gulp.

As soon as he finished drinking, Lu Xiaofeng fainted, and Jiang Fengyue quickly stepped forward to support him.

Jiang Fengyue turned to look at the Snake King and asked, "You drugged it?"

The Snake King waved a small jade-green bottle in front of Jiang Fengyue. It contained white powder. He sighed, "A harmless sleeping pill."

He continued, "I've had headaches and insomnia for over a decade. As the saying goes, 'long illness makes one a doctor.' Although I can't cure it like you did, I've discovered this medicine that can help people get a good night's sleep."

Jiang Fengyue looked at Lu Xiaofeng, whose eyes were heavy with puffiness, and sighed, "He really needs a good night's sleep. I'll leave after he wakes up tomorrow, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Orochimaru nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have them prepare a room for you."

Jiang Fengyue was drinking tea in a teahouse, with all sorts of pastries laid out in front of him. When he was bored, he would take a piece and sip it slowly. If he felt choked, he would drink a sip of tea.

He sits in a window seat and comes here every day as soon as he wakes up. He has been here for three days now, and even the waiter at the shop recognizes him.

Of course, no one looked down on him because of his strange behavior, because he was too extravagant. He not only ordered the best pastries in the shop, but also gave the waiters some silver coins from time to time.

Who wouldn't like someone who spends money and causes little trouble? If the waiters hadn't seen Jiang Fengyue's serious expression, they might have rushed to serve her meticulously.

Jiang Fengyue kept his eyes fixed on the window. From his position, he could see a large garden, and he was staring at the corner gate of the garden.

After waiting for three days, they finally reaped a reward today. As dusk approached, Jiang Fengyue spotted a beggar-like man carrying a small sack on his back, which was clearly filled with something.

The beggar walked into the garden without even knocking, as if it were his home. But how could a beggar possibly afford such an exquisite garden?

Jiang Fengyue knew that it was not a beggar at all, but Gongsun Lan disguised herself to avoid being noticed. Gongsun Lan's disguise skills were not bad. Although she could not compare to Wang Lianhua in the past, she was still a first-class disguise master in the current martial arts world.

Gongsun Lan was confident that no one would recognize her. She was very satisfied with her disguised appearance. The female butcher, the peach blossom bee, the five poisonous women, and the enchanting old woman—these famous figures in the martial arts world were all her own creations.

Of course, Gongsun Lan has decided that she will never use the identity of Granny Xiong again, because Jiang Fengyue left her with a great psychological shadow that day.

Upon thinking of Jiang Fengyue, Gongsun Lan couldn't help but look behind her, but she didn't see anyone.

The moment Gongsun Lan entered the garden, Jiang Fengyue vanished in a flash.

The waiter was so frightened he thought there was a ghost, but when he saw the silver ingots on the table, his eyes lit up again. With money, even a ghost can be a king.

Jiang Fengyue didn't follow too closely. He knew that Gongsun Lan's awareness of counter-tracking was not weak, so he only kept a distance from which he could see Gongsun Lan's figure in the distance.

With his lightness skill, he would never lose Gongsun Lan, especially since when he fully unleashed his inner strength, he was not only still but also made no sound.

Gongsun Lan was indeed very familiar with everything in the garden. She walked quickly, passing through a grove of flowers and across a small bridge, until she arrived at a small building built next to a lotus pond.

Jiang Fengyue wasn't in a hurry. She slowly walked to the side of the small building. There was a large ginkgo tree next to the building, which faced the windows of the building.

He swiftly leaped up the tree, confident that not a single leaf would fall from the tree at the moment of his arrival.

After dusk, the sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the small building illuminated the interior.
