Chapter 16 Trouble
Li Qian quickly put away everything and began to deal with the body.

More than an hour later.

He buried Manager Zhao's body behind the mountain.

The bloodstains in the room were also cleaned up.

But that faint smell of blood still exists.

But it doesn't matter, it will disappear after a while.

Moreover, he would clean it more carefully tomorrow, leaving no traces.

Manager Zhao was essentially a menial disciple and was not included in the ranks of formal disciples, but he was the manager of the menial hall after all, and was a person of high status among the menial disciples.

If a steward goes missing, the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall will definitely investigate.

Lying on another wooden bed, Li Qian flipped through the booklet in the light of an oil lamp.

Bright Jade Palm.

A more advanced palm technique.

It is much better than sword and jab.

The sword stabbing fist is the most basic type of boxing, which only has the effect of training breath and transforming strength, but its effect on training qi is minimal.

That is to say, he practiced the sword jabbing fist to perfection, which made the sword jabbing fist have the effect of training qi.

Compared with the real internal energy techniques, there is still a big gap.

The energy training effect of Mingyu Palm is much stronger than sword, jab and punch, and it also contains the characteristics of martial arts.

It can be considered a comprehensive martial art.

However, the practice of Mingyu Palm is quite demanding and requires a special ointment - Jinyu ointment, otherwise the practice will progress very slowly.

Once the Mingyu Palm is practiced to a certain level, the palm can be as strong as metal or stone and indestructible.

"It requires plasters, which is very troublesome."

Li Qian shook his head.

Not to mention the price of the Golden Jade Paste, how could he buy the Ming Jade Palm that belonged to Manager Zhao? If he practiced it, it would become traceable, thus exposing the fact that he was the one who killed Manager Zhao.

Therefore, he did not plan to practice the Mingyu Palm.

I feel a little regretful inside, but compared with my own safety, the benefits brought by the Mingyu Palm are nothing.

The next day, Li Qian cleaned the bell tower inside and out again.

As for Ming Yu Zhang's booklet, after he had memorized it thoroughly, he also destroyed it like firewood.

He also chose to bury Manager Zhao's other things in the ground temporarily and had no intention of using them.

Since killing Manager Zhao, Li Qian has become more cautious and low-key.

He practiced martial arts silently, raised chickens and ducks, and grew vegetables, and occasionally chatted with Chen Yong who went up the mountain to exercise.

If the bell did not ring every day, he would have almost no sense of existence within the Divine Sword Gate.

In this way, more than half a month passed before the Miscellaneous Services Hall sent people up to find out what happened. It was obvious that Manager Zhao's disappearance had finally been discovered.

Li Qian responded calmly.

Of course, the people in the errand hall did not suspect Li Qian.

How could a errand disciple who had only been in the sect for two years and might not even have developed internal energy be related to the disappearance of Manager Zhao?
"If no one else in the Oddsman Hall knew about the treasure map, perhaps this matter would have ended here."

Li Qian thought to himself.

But unexpectedly, a few days later, a man in his thirties suddenly came to the bell tower.

"I wonder what's the matter, brother?"

Li Qian asked curiously.

"My name is Yi Zhong, I think you should have heard of me."

The man said calmly.

Easy to weigh?

Li Qian had naturally heard that in the battle power ranking that just ended, Yi Chong ranked first.

As for the original number one Zhang Mingcan, he was unfortunately defeated by Yi Zhong and ranked second on the combat power list. He did not continue to be the number one on the combat power list for three years and missed the opportunity to become a formal disciple.

Moreover, Li Qian learned from Chen Yong that Song Yingying was very close to Yi Chong.

Now this person comes to see me, could he be related to Song Yingying?

Suddenly, he became alert because Song Yingying might know the treasure map. After all, the letter was given to him by Song Yingying.

Although he believed that Song Yingying would not be so stupid as to expose her identity and put herself in danger.

Sometimes, women are very deceitful.

After all, Yi Zhong is still a playboy.

Yi Chong is indeed very handsome and tall, no wonder he is so popular with women.

"Of course I've heard of it. I wonder what Senior Brother Yi wants to say?"

Li Qian nodded and said.

"Chu Yingying is your cousin?"

Yi Chong asked.

"Yes."

Li Qian nodded.

When Song Yingying registered in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, she used the name Chu Yingying.

Even the original identity information was the name Chu Yingying.

"You two don't seem to be particularly close."

Yi Chong chuckled.

"We rarely contact each other."

Li Qian said.

"I don't think so?"

Yi Zhong changed the subject and said with a smile, "You are from Baibi City in Zhanghe County, and you come from the wealthy Li family. It seems that among the relatives and in-laws of the Li family, there seems to be no one with the surname Chu."

Li Qian's heart sank. Did Yi check his background again?

No, Yi Chong is just a menial disciple, not even a formal disciple. How can he have the ability to investigate?
Could it be that there are higher-level people in the Menial Services Hall who are investigating me behind my back?

In this case, Yi Chong, like Manager Zhao, was probably being controlled by someone and most likely came for the treasure map.

etc.
He suddenly thought of a possibility. How could Song Yingying, a chores disciple who had just joined the Divine Sword Sect, get together with a senior chores disciple like Yi Chong so quickly?

Could it be that Yi Chong had a purpose from the very beginning?

"Brother Yi, why are you investigating my background?"

Li Qian said with surprise.

"Do you know Chu Yingying's true identity?"

Yi Zhong smiled slightly and then asked.

"Brother Yi, she is indeed my cousin"

Li Qian said.

"Junior Brother Li, stop covering up for me. Yingying told me a long time ago that her relationship with you as cousins ​​is fake."

Yi Zhong shook his head and said, "She even told me that her grandfather left behind an opportunity. I wonder if Junior Brother Li has gained anything from it?"

Li Qian's heart sank. Is Song Yingying so stupid?

How could one reveal even one's own identity information to others so easily?
"Brother Yi, I don't know what you mean?"

Li Qian said: "Besides, I'm going to ring the bell now."

Having said that, he turned around and walked towards the bell tower.

Yi Zhong did not stop him, just watched.

As a few bells rang, Li Qian put down the ramming rod and did not practice sword jabs as usual.

After all, Yi Zhong is right below.

At this time, Yi Zhong came up and said, "Brother Li, Yingying and I are in love with each other. In a sense, we are already half grandsons-in-law of Elder Song. The practice of martial arts is difficult. You and I have been struggling among these menial disciples. I don't know when we will have the chance to break free from this cage. Why don't we join hands and explore this opportunity? Maybe we will have the chance to become formal disciples in the future."

He spoke sincerely and from the bottom of his heart, no wonder he was able to fool the naive Song Yingying.

Li Qian had no doubt that there must be someone behind Yi Zhong.

The so-called exploring opportunities together was just to make Li Qian relax his vigilance and reveal his flaws.
