HBWnovel Chapter 064 Face
Chapter 064 Face
Chapter 064 A Thousand Faces
"That brat, so secretive, what's he up to?" Leaving Zhao Family Village, Mingci was even more frustrated, because Lin Fei hadn't revealed a single detail about the plan to deal with the White Lotus Sect. He'd only told him to wait for Lin Fei's signal a hundred miles away.
However, Mingci herself had no choice but to obey Lin Fei's instructions and wait for Lin Fei's signal at a place a hundred miles away from Zhao Family Village.
……
Inside Zhao Family Village, Lin Fei had transformed himself into the appearance of a tea stall owner. This was all thanks to his Thousand-Man Mask, which allowed him to freely change his appearance, a disguise that only those with exceptional eyesight could see through.
In other words, unless one is a master with superhuman vision, to outsiders, he is no different from the person he is impersonating.
Lin Fei's transformation made communication with the people in Zhao Family Village much easier. At least people wouldn't keep their distance from him and refuse to say a word to him.
However, he still hadn't found any clues about the White Lotus Sect.
Du Zizhan's intelligence was absolutely accurate. In other words, the White Lotus Sect's branch altar was definitely located within Zhao Family Village. It was simply well hidden, so much so that even ordinary townspeople were completely unaware of it.
"Grand Steward, Grand Steward, please have mercy! My granddaughter is only thirteen years old, please, Grand Steward, spare my daughter!" Just as Lin Fei was standing by the tea stall, at a loss, a sudden cry caught his attention.
Not far away, an old woman was kneeling in front of a large, fat man, kowtowing and weeping.
The fat man, dressed in fine clothes, kicked the old woman away, shouting, "Get out! It's a blessing your granddaughter has only been blessed once in eight hundred years if I've taken a liking to her! You old hag, stop arguing with me and get out of here!"
"Master Steward! Master Steward! You are the master steward of Zhao Dashan's family, you can't do such a heinous thing!" the old woman cried out, kneeling down and throwing herself at him again.
"If it weren't for your reputation, I wouldn't be giving you so much money!" the fat man sneered. "Three hundred taels of silver is enough for you old codger to live on for eight generations! What, you're still not satisfied? Get the hell out of here and stop interfering with my business!"
As he spoke, a group of men dressed as servants rushed forward and dragged the old woman aside, pulling and hitting her. The servants, with a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old and fair skin, followed behind the fat man and swaggered away.
The people around seemed a little afraid of the fat man. Only after he had walked away did the people sitting at the tea stall dare to start talking: "Zhao the Great Philanthropist is really unlucky to have such a steward!"
"That's right! Zhao, the great philanthropist, has been providing free medical care and medicine to benefit the villagers. He has worked so hard to build up his reputation, but sooner or later this fat-headed fellow will ruin it!" A guest at the next table chimed in.
"That's right, how come I didn't think of that!" Lin Fei slapped his forehead. "The White Lotus Sect is so well hidden that even ordinary people who become believers probably don't know they've joined the White Lotus Sect! It seems we'll have to ask the local bigwigs for information!"
"Hmph, you damned fatso, you're unlucky to have fallen into my hands. I'm doing this to rid the world of evil and avenge that suffering old woman!" Lin Fei thought to himself, and secretly followed after them.
"I'm not saying anything more, I'm not saying anything more. That damn fatso has done so many bad things, he'll get his comeuppance sooner or later!"
"Old tea master, bring some tea, we've run out of tea!"
"Old tea master, old tea master! Hey, where is he? That old geezer, he's always sneaking away from his business!"
……
But where is the old tea master now at the tea stall?
……
The fat steward and his entourage walked to the edge of a small alley when the fat steward suddenly felt the urge to urinate: "You lot, wait here for me for a while, I'll be right back."
With that, he disappeared around the corner of the alley.
When he returned, he was humming a little tune, looking extremely relaxed.
"Oh, Steward, what has made you so happy?" someone immediately flattered.
"It's nothing, it's nothing," the fat steward waved his hand with a smile, "Put that girl down!"
The fat steward at this time was no longer the same fat man as before, but was transformed by Lin Fei using the Thousand Illusion Mask.
The real fat steward had already been dealt with by Lin Fei at the end of the alley, who acted on behalf of Heaven to eliminate evil and uphold justice.
The servants exchanged glances, their eyes filled with lewd expressions, and laughed, "Master Steward, you have quite the taste! Are you planning to take this little girl right here and now?"
As they talked, they untied the bound girl and lewdly said, "I wonder if we, the lowly servants, will have the honor of feasting our eyes? Or, like last time, will the steward let us have some soup after he has eaten the meat?"
Lin Fei wondered how many heinous things these guys had done in the past. He wished he could eliminate them all, just like he had dealt with the fat man.
However, in order not to alert the enemy, Lin Fei suppressed his anger and said, "Get out, you useless bunch!" As he spoke, he walked towards the little girl.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!" the girl shouted in terror, retreating to the corner and curling up into a ball.
"Is she really that scary?" Lin Fei rubbed his chin, somewhat annoyed. This girl was panicked; if he got any closer, she'd drive him crazy. "You guys, go and untie the ropes binding her!"
The servants were completely baffled, but they dared not disobey orders. They had no choice but to go up and untie the ropes binding the little girl.
Seeing that the little girl still looked terrified, Lin Fei waved his hand in annoyance: "Little girl, you can go now!"
The little girl seemed not to have heard what Lin Fei was saying at all, or perhaps she simply couldn't believe what the fat man was saying. She continued to murmur as if she had lost her soul, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer!"
Lin Fei glared at her, annoyed, and secretly used a bit of his sharp tongue to say, "Little girl, aren't you leaving yet!"
Lin Fei's shout seemed to bring the little girl back to her senses, but she still couldn't believe his words: "You, what did you say? You're letting me go?"
Lin Fei glared at him, putting on a fierce look: "Why don't you get lost? Do you really want to be my concubine?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl disappeared in a flash, as if fleeing for her life.
The servants nearby looked at each other in disbelief, unable to believe that their head steward could do such a thing.
