「Less than an hour passed.」

Qin Feiyang materialized next to a small tree in the garden. He then hid behind it, assessing the surroundings. This garden was situated right behind the assembly hall. Within it, several narrow pathways wound their way through. Every ten meters or so, a guard was stationed. At the end of the path stood a grand hall, more than ten meters high, with three tiers in total. At the entrance, a good dozen guards stood arrayed on either side, their eyes fixed straight ahead, as if guarding something sacred.

Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed with a brilliant light as he silently approached a guard from behind. With a swift reach of his hand, he covered the guard's mouth and pulled him into the ancient castle.

"Where is this?" Once they were inside, the guard was stupefied.

Qin Feiyang shoved him aside. "If you don't want to die, tell me where Meng Tong is staying," he said coolly.

"This voice… It's Qin Feiyang!" The guard trembled as he turned to see Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King, his face instantly turning deathly pale. Suddenly, he started shouting, "Help! They're here!"

HUH! Qin Feiyang and his group were taken aback. Is this guy an idiot? Doesn't he know no one outside can hear what's happening in here? Of course, he definitely doesn't.

Fatty sneered, "Don't bother. Even if you scream yourself hoarse, no one will hear you."

"Someone save me!"

"If anyone hears me, reply!"

The guard didn't believe Fatty and started screaming like a madman. When his voice finally gave out and he saw that no comrade had come to his rescue, he finally believed. Despair washed over him.

THUD!

He collapsed to his knees, begging, "Gentlemen, I'm just a lowly person. If there's any issue, take it up with the Family Head. Please don't make things difficult for me!"

Qin Feiyang said, "Just tell me where Meng Tong is, and I'll let you live."

"You want to harm the Young Miss?"

"No, I can't tell."

"If I do, even if you don't kill me, the Family Head will." The guard shook his head.

Qin Feiyang said, "So obstinate. White-Eyed Wolf, unleash your ultimate move!"

"Hehe." The Wolf King immediately smirked deviously.

The guard trembled with fear, his face full of terror. The method the Wolf King had used against Chief Meng in the tavern was now common knowledge. Everyone in White Fox City knew that his so-called ultimate move, his so-called Holy Water, was nothing more than a spray of urine.

Seeing the Wolf King heading towards him, the guard quickly cried out, "Wait, wait, I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"

Fatty barked, "Then speak quickly!"

The guard said, "The Young Miss stays in the grand hall on the side of the garden."

Fatty demanded, "Be more specific!"

The guard's eyes flickered. "Third floor, the room on the far left," he said.

Qin Feiyang asked, "What about your old Family Head?"

"I don't know about that. Only the Family Head and the Young Miss know."

"Sirs, I've told you all I know. Can you let me go now?" the guard asked.

"Yes, we'll let you go right away." Fatty nodded, walked up to the guard, swiftly pulled out a dagger, and slit his throat.

Let him go? Impossible. If they truly let him go, he would undoubtedly go straight to the Meng Family Head.

Qin Feiyang took out a Shape-shifting Pill, transformed into the guard's appearance, and put on the guard's animal-hide clothes. Immediately after, he left the ancient castle, brazenly heading towards the grand hall.

"Meng San, you're not at your post. What are you doing here?" The guards at the door all looked at him in confusion.

Qin Feiyang replied with a smile, "The three chiefs have arrived. The Family Head sent me to summon Miss Meng."

One of the guards inquired, "Why have they come?"

"I do not know." Qin Feiyang shrugged.

The guard then said, "Alright, you can go in, but please be quiet. Don't disturb the Madam."

There's a Madam too? Qin Feiyang was secretly surprised but maintained his composure. He walked into the grand hall and made his way directly to the third floor. A moment later, he stood before the door of the room on the farthest left and knocked lightly.

"Who is it?" A crisp voice rang out from inside. It was Meng Tong's voice.

Qin Feiyang said, "Young Miss, the Family Head wants you to come to the assembly hall."

In a short while, Meng Tong opened the door and walked out. "Did Father say why he wanted me?" she asked.

"He didn't say." Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"Then let's go!" After Meng Tong closed her door, she headed towards the stairs.

Qin Feiyang stepped behind her and placed a hand over her mouth. The next moment, they both appeared in the ancient castle.

The sudden turn of events made Meng Tong's expression change. When Qin Feiyang let her go, she immediately shouted, "You certainly have some nerve, daring to kidnap me, this Young Miss!"

Fatty said, "You better drop that 'young miss' act of yours for Master Fatty, and quickly!"

"Hm?" Meng Tong raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Qin Feiyang and the others. "Why is it you?"

At that moment, her face turned pale. Though she didn't recognize the disguised Qin Feiyang, she instantly recognized the Wolf King and the Burrower.

The Wolf King snickered, "Welcome to hell."

"Hell!" Meng Tong turned pale and glanced around the room before letting out a cold laugh. This is clearly just a secret room, yet they call it hell? Are they taking me for an idiot, easy to fool?

However, when she noticed Meng San's corpse, her eyes suddenly trembled. She turned her head towards Qin Feiyang and said harshly, "Who are you? Why are you impersonating Meng San?"

Fatty shook his head. "You really are dumb. Isn't it obvious who he is?"

"Hm?" Meng Tong asked, shocked and doubtful.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she hurriedly stepped back and exclaimed in anger and surprise, "You are Qin Feiyang!"

Qin Feiyang said, "Yes, I am Qin Feiyang. Tell me, where is your grandfather in seclusion?"

"What?"

"You want to kill my grandfather?"

"What a joke. With your meager strength? Even all of you combined wouldn't be a match for my grandfather."

"I advise you to release me immediately. Otherwise, every last one of you will die without an intact corpse!" Meng Tong sneered.

"A prisoner, and still so arrogant?" Qin Feiyang and the others were taken aback.

"You guys don't hit women, I will!" Lu Hong stood up and went to slap her.

But at that moment, Qin Feiyang grabbed her wrist and shook his head. "Don't waste time."

Fatty said, "Yes, if we take too long, it will arouse suspicion." As he spoke, Fatty's hand shot out like a flash, his palm a blade, striking forcefully at the back of Meng Tong's head.

"How dare you!" Meng Tong yelled in anger and counterattacked. But she was only a one-star Martial Ancestor; how could she be Fatty's opponent? She was directly knocked to the ground, unconscious.

"Hurry up and change," Qin Feiyang urged Lu Hong and then turned around.

Fatty also turned around. But the Wolf King and the Burrower were staring straight at Lu Hong and Meng Tong.

Qin Feiyang's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Watch it, or I'll gouge your eyes out."

The two beasts smirked awkwardly and quickly looked away.

RUSTLE!

Behind him, the sounds of clothing being removed echoed. Fatty turned his head sneakily to take a look. But before he could see anything, Qin Feiyang rapped him sharply on the head. He glanced at the restless Wolf King and Burrower and snapped, "Behave, or don't blame me for getting rough!"

"TSK! We won't look if we don't want to."

"It's just a woman, what's the big deal?" the two grumbled disdainfully.

"Damn it! You lot might not want to look, but Master Fatty does!"

"I, Master Fatty, have grown this old and still haven't seen a woman's fair, smooth skin." Fatty pouted, his face full of dissatisfaction. This Boss is really getting in the way.

"Done." A moment later, Lu Hong's voice sounded.

Fatty turned around eagerly. He definitely couldn't see Lu Hong's body, but he could still take a look at Meng Tong's!

However, when he looked at Meng Tong lying on the ground, his face immediately fell. Meng Tong was wearing Lu Hong's clothes. All the parts that should be covered were covered properly.

He raised his head to look at Lu Hong, his eyes full of resentment, as if blaming Lu Hong for dressing Meng Tong.

Seeing this, Lu Hong rolled her eyes and snorted, "I didn't realize you were so perverted. Looks like I'll have to be warier of you from now on."

"Yes, yes, he's a total lecher! You definitely need to guard against him."

"A person shouldn't be too depraved, right, Brother Butterball?" The Wolf King and the Burrower also jumped in to tease him.

"Get lost!" Fatty glared at them angrily.

What a buffoon. Qin Feiyang glanced at Fatty and the two beasts, then turned to look at Lu Hong. He scanned her from top to bottom and nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, Lu Hong and Meng Tong looked like twins; it was impossible to tell them apart.

Qin Feiyang said, "Be alert."

Lu Hong nodded.

Then Qin Feiyang led Lu Hong out of the ancient castle.

Next, Lu Hong walked ahead and Qin Feiyang followed, quickly exiting the grand hall.

"Greetings, Young Miss." The guards at the door bowed in unison.

Lu Hong nodded and walked towards the assembly hall opposite them. When they reached an empty spot, they turned and headed for the Gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, they encountered wave after wave of guards, but no one dared to block their path.

They left the City Lord's Mansion without any trouble and entered the Trading Pavilion across the street.

A woman came up to greet them. It was the same young woman who had served Qin Feiyang before.

Lu Hong spoke coldly, "Take this Young Miss to the warehouse."

"The warehouse?" The young woman was taken aback but didn't dare to question further. She turned and led the two upstairs.

Without any pause, the three of them arrived at the sixth tier.

"Greetings, Young Miss." A middle-aged man with a square face came up to meet them, bowing to Lu Hong.

Lu Hong asked, "Has anyone come to buy medicinal herbs recently?"

"No." The middle-aged man shook his head. "Is there something the Young Miss requires?"

The young woman said, "The Young Miss wants to go to the warehouse."

The middle-aged man was startled. "May I ask what the Young Miss wants to do in the warehouse?" he asked, puzzled.

Lu Hong snapped, "Do I need your permission for my actions?"

"No, of course not." The middle-aged man shook his head hastily and said to the young woman, "You can go about your duties now."

"Yes." The young woman acknowledged the order and went downstairs.

"Young Miss, please come with me." The middle-aged man smiled and gestured for them to follow as he turned and walked down the hallway to the right.

So the warehouse is on the sixth tier, along with the VIP room. Qin Feiyang mused. The Trading Pavilion's warehouse should have battle manuals, shouldn't it? He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
