Since the failed assassination attempt last time, he had gone back into hiding, gathering information and waiting for the next opportunity to strike.
The enemy is in the open while I am in the shadows.
As long as I can keep my patience and avoid being impulsive like last time, I will eventually find the right moment.
The next day.
"Finally going out!"
As Lin Zheyu ate breakfast at a roadside stall, he took out twenty coins from his pocket and placed them on the table.
He had been keeping watch outside the Senluo Temple for so long that the other side finally decided to leave.
"I was dying of boredom!"
Ge Bing stretched his arms wide and took a deep breath, savoring the taste of freedom.
In recent days, his father had not allowed him to go out freely.
If he wanted to go out, he had to be accompanied by a Martial Artist skilled in Qi Blood Three Transformations.
"Mr. Wo, do you think we can catch Liang Song today?"
Ge Bing asked excitedly.
"If everything goes as planned, Liang Song won't be able to escape. The Ya Army is very reliable," Wo Shentao nodded and said.
"Great! Once we catch him, I want to flay him and pull his sinews out, make him wish he were dead!" Ge Bing said viciously.
"Let's go, we should stand guard outside the Ya Mansion to prevent any unexpected incidents," Wo Shentao said calmly.
"Aren't we waiting for my father?" Ge Bing asked.
"Your father will be going directly to the Ya Mansion for the banquet. He's disguising himself now to avoid being recognized by Liang Song; he'll be ready soon."
"We'll go ahead first,"
Wo Shentao said.
The two of them left the Senluo Temple, not noticing Lin Zheyu tailing them from behind.
Lin Zheyu's tracking skills had improved significantly from the start, though they still weren't very professional.
But combined with the perfection level of Turtle Breath Skill and his strong sensory abilities, he followed them from a distance.
Unless there's a Martial Artist with perception stronger than his, or one with extreme anti-surveillance abilities, they wouldn't discover him.
"The Ya Mansion?"
"Why are they going to the Ya Mansion again?"
Lin Zheyu followed Ge Bing and Wo Shentao all the way to the outside of the Ya Mansion, then entered a restaurant more than a hundred meters away.
"The Ya Mansion is hosting a banquet. If they're not here to attend, what are they doing here?" Lin Zheyu wondered inwardly.
The two didn't go to the Ya Mansion; instead, they went to the second floor of the restaurant and ordered a table of sumptuous dishes.
Lin Zheyu didn't believe they came here just to eat.
This restaurant was some distance from the Senluo Temple, and the food wasn't particularly delicious.
It wasn't worth coming all this way just for a meal.
So these two must have a purpose for being here.
"Could it be they're here for Mr. Liang?"
Lin Zheyu speculated, "Could they have discovered that Mr. Liang will be attending the banquet at the Ya Mansion?"
With this thought, Lin Zheyu came down from the second floor of the restaurant.
As he passed by Ge Bing, he subtly moved his wrist and sprinkled some tracking powder on him to avoid losing him later.
Without anyone to assist him in Bafang City, it would indeed be difficult to find someone again without a little trick.
After leaving the restaurant, Lin Zheyu arrived outside the Ya Mansion and hid in the shadows to observe.
If Ge Bing and Wo Shentao were indeed here for Liang Song, then Liang Song would likely be hiding among the guests.
After waiting for over twenty minutes,
an ordinary-looking, somewhat unfamiliar elderly man leisurely approached from afar.
After presenting an invitation, he entered the Ya Mansion.
"It's him!"
"Mr. Liang, you've been hard to find!"
Lin Zheyu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say to himself.
Even though Mr. Liang was in disguise, Lin Zheyu recognized him easily.
Liang Song had cultivated the Turtle Breath Skill but hadn't even reached the second level; he could only hide his strength perfectly from martial artists of the same level.
When facing someone stronger, as long as they're not too much stronger, he can also hide some of his strength.
Although Lin Zheyu was only Qi Blood Four Transformations, his mastery of the Turtle Breath Skill had reached the level of perfection.
Not only did he easily see through Liang Song's strength, but he also noticed Liang Song's well-concealed limp.
A man with a similar demeanor to Liang Song, possessing Qi Blood Three Transformations strength, and also limping—aside from Liang Song, it could be no one else.
"How do I sneak in?"
Lin Zheyu murmured to himself.
The Senluo Temple member he killed had mentioned that Ge Wuning was planning to use the Ya Army's hand to kill Liang Song.
Lin Zheyu didn't know if this was true.
But it's better to be safe than sorry.
Lin Zheyu wasn't worried about the Ya Army taking action; he was concerned that their strength might exceed his expectations.
"I must find a way to sneak in and warn Mr. Liang,"
Lin Zheyu said to himself.
Given Liang Song's cautious and meticulous nature, a warning would make him more vigilant and prevent him from falling into a trap.
The Ya Army is a well-known Martial Artist in Bafang City, holding a reputation as an upright gentleman.
Even if they were to take action, they wouldn't do so in a public setting but would choose to strike from the shadows.
Liang Song's attendance at the Ya Army's event indicated that they were acquainted.
If the Ya Army had malicious intent and Liang Song wasn't on guard, he'd easily fall victim.
"The guards at the gate don't recognize everyone."
"They're lax with guests holding ordinary invitations. Anyone with an invitation can enter."
After observing for a while, Lin Zheyu thought of a way to sneak in.
His figure flickered and disappeared from his original spot.
When he reappeared, he held an ordinary invitation and had transformed his appearance into that of an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
He bore some resemblance to the person he had taken the invitation from.
"Mr. Guo, this way, please."
The guard gestured invitingly, directing Lin Zheyu toward the right-front direction.
