Everyone has their own style of handling things.

If it were Li Yan, even if the other side helped to resolve the situation, he certainly wouldn't show a good face, because he knows they probably have ulterior motives.

But Sha Lifei is completely different.

"Oh, so it's you... hahaha."

Hearing the other's identity, Sha Lifei laughed heartily a few times and quickly stood up, "Please, have a seat, have a seat, I've long admired your name."

As he spoke these pleasantries, he prepared tea and poured water.

With a grin and a smile, as if he had met an old friend.

"It's nothing, really."

"Wu Xiang Gongzi" was also adept at seizing opportunities, sat down unceremoniously, and smiled, "In this icy world, it's been hard on the road. I've wanted to meet you brothers long ago, but unfortunately, fate only brought us together today..."

The two chatted casually, appearing very familiar with each other.

And Sha Lifei was shrewd, talking about the scenery of Guan County, discussing the weather on the road, in short, rambling but deliberately not mentioning the previous incident.

Sometimes in verbal sparring, it's about who can remain calm.

Sha Lifei wasn't in a hurry at all.

After all, the other party had come voluntarily, they must be seeking something.

Sure enough, "Wu Xiang Gongzi" shook his fan and said with a smile, "We're all fellows in the pugilistic world, some things don't need to be hidden."

"Do you know why the government wants to make things difficult for you?"

Sha Lifei raised an eyebrow, "Please enlighten us."

"Wu Xiang Gongzi" took a sip of tea and said calmly, "It's simple, people from the Shu Prince Mansion came to Guan County, and happened to see you. They fear you might hinder their plans, so they made the government create trouble."

"If you don't resist, you'll be taken to the government, randomly charged with escaping from prison, and executed immediately."

"If you do resist, you'll have to flee Guan County."

"I see..."

After hearing this, Sha Lifei's doubts were instantly resolved.

The Shu Prince Mansion should know their capabilities, with just a few Government Officials, even adding soldiers outside, they couldn't capture them, so why make such a fuss.

Turns out they wanted to drive them away.

It seems something is definitely happening in Guan County...

Sha Lifei's eyes twinkled, he sipped his tea calmly, and asked, "Then why have you come?"

"Naturally to cooperate!"

"Wu Xiang Gongzi" shook his fan and stated righteously, "The King Shu acts contrary to order, the things naturally cannot fall into his hands. How about a partnership between us?"

"Oh?"

Sha Lifei's expression remained unchanged, "Fine, but the ugly words must come first, how should we split the spoils?"

Of course, he didn't know anything, he was completely bluffing.

However, after "Wu Xiang Gongzi" listened, he was startled for a moment, then shook his head and laughed wryly, "Turns out you don't know."

"Forget it, you'd best not get involved in this..."

Saying this, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands, and turned to leave.

"Hey~ don't go!"

Sha Lifei was in a hurry, trying to stop him.

However, "Wu Xiang Gongzi's" skills were truly amazing, appearing to be walking leisurely, yet Sha Lifei couldn't even grab the hem of his garment.

As soon as he stepped out, the man was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone in the room looked at each other in astonishment.

"Guest, the wine and dishes are served."

The waiter happened to enter the room with a staff member, carrying food and wine.

No one spoke, and only after the waiter left did Sha Lifei close the door and frowned at Wang Tianzuo, "Old brother Wang, I'm afraid something big is happening in Guan County, have you received any news?"

Wang Tianzuo shook his head, "None."

"I often travel to various places, on the lands of Guan County, I have some little reputation, but I haven't heard of any big events recently."

"If there is, it must be extremely secretive."

Saying this, his expression turned somewhat hesitant, advising, "'Wu Xiang Gongzi' is the leader of the Chengdu underworld, for him to take such an interest, to come in person, and attract the Shu Prince Mansion, it is definitely not a trivial matter."

"Gentlemen, it's best not to get involved in this matter."

He originally thought that the fame of the Twelve Primordial Spirits would make them disdainful of his words, but to his surprise, Sha Lifei nodded in agreement, "Old brother Wang is right, we have other matters to attend to, we can't be bothered with them."

Wang Tianzuo breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again, "By the way, you gentlemen came to Guan County this time, what important business do you have?"

"If convenient, give a shout, let's see if this old man can be of any help."

Sha Lifei's heart stirred, and with a grin, he said, "We do need old brother's help, we're looking for someone."

"Looking for someone?"

Wang Tianzuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Who are you looking for?"

"A Great Han, full beard, has many identities, name unknown, loves to wear luxurious clothes, fond of mutton..."

Sha Lifei recounted the features Li Yan had told him.

"Good!"

Wang Tianzuo nodded, "I will ask my friends to look for him right away, what grievance does he have with you?"

"No grievance, really."

Sha Lifei laughed, talking nonsense, "Just owes us some money..."

...

Late at night, the Taoist Temple was pitch black.

Li Yan lay on the bed, eyes open, having difficulty falling asleep.

The information he received this time was truly astonishing.

That blind old Taoist,

was actually Cheng Jianxian!

This truly made his jaw drop.

Legend has it that he was one of the Ten Grandmasters, suppressing the Shu for decades, a celestial-like existence...

Could it be that he failed in Ascension?

But why conceal his identity and teach a disciple with a different surname?

That Gousheng, his identity is probably not simple...

All sorts of doubts surged in Li Yan's mind.

This journey to the Shu was like the weather in this place, shrouded in clouds and mist, with many things still unclear to him.

He carefully recalled what Mingshanzi had said earlier.

After failing in Ascension, Cheng Jianxian didn't do anything else, but locked himself in a room, poring over various historical books.

Could it be that Cheng Jianxian discovered something...

A sleepless night.

Dong dong dong!

The next day before dawn, the bell of the Taoist Temple rang.

Soon after, the sound of Taoists performing morning lessons reached his ears.
