Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15991

Chapter 15989: Discovery

Once they returned to the courtyard, they all went to their rooms to rest. After returning to his room, Wu Lingfeng’s smile vanished. He immediately took out a jade slip, entered some information into it, and then took out a communication array. He placed the jade slip on the array, activated it, and finally let out a long breath.

Although the communication array showed some energy fluctuations, they weren’t strong. He had just circulated his spiritual energy, which could mask the array’s energy fluctuations. Even if others sensed the energy fluctuations in his room, they would only assume he was cultivating and wouldn’t suspect anything.

However, Wu Lingfeng dared not let his guard down. He kept his energy circulating, his eyes fixed on the communication array in his hand. He had just sent a letter to the sect, informing them of his discovery—the tavern owner.

When the tavern owner shared a drink with him and bowed respectfully, Wu Lingfeng inadvertently noticed a flame-like mark on his wrist. The mark wasn’t large, barely bigger than a thumbnail, but Wu Lingfeng recognized it immediately. He recognized the mark—it was the mark of the Flame Pirate Gang. His Qingyang Sect had killed many of their pirates; Wu Lingfeng himself had killed several, and all those pirates bore this flame mark on their wrists.

The tavern owner also had the exact same mark. This was no coincidence; the owner must be a member of the Flame Pirate Gang, perhaps even their spy within the Qingmu Sect.

This was highly likely. The owner was just an inconspicuous tavern owner, but he interacted with many cultivators daily. He could easily gather intelligence from them and then pass it on to the Flame Pirate Gang. This way, the Flame Pirate Gang would have a thorough understanding of the Qingmu Sect, making it much easier for them to deal with them.

As for whether he would be discovered, that’s really unlikely. Even if someone saw the mark on his wrist, they wouldn’t know what it was. In this area, very few people have actually seen the Flame Pirate Gang, and those who have are all disciples of various sects, whether large or small. The Flame Pirate Gang generally doesn’t attack rogue cultivators because they don’t have much to gain, so rogue cultivators haven’t seen that mark. And sect disciples wouldn’t come to a small tavern like this to eat. Even if a sect disciple did come to this tavern one day and happened to know the flame mark, it wouldn’t necessarily reveal the tavern owner’s identity. The tavern owner only needs to be careful not to let his flame mark be exposed to the sect disciple. After all, sect disciples usually wear their sect’s uniforms, and there are almost no sect disciples who truly hide their identities. So the tavern owner isn’t worried about being discovered at all.

If it weren’t for a stroke of luck, Wu Lingfeng wouldn’t have seen that mark. Having seen it, he had to report it to the sect.

Just as Wu Lingfeng was thinking about these things, a jade slip appeared in the communication array. Wu Lingfeng immediately picked it up, glanced at its contents, and breathed a sigh of relief. The jade slip was very simple, telling him that the Qingyang Sect would send someone to help him, and that he shouldn’t worry, just wait for the sect’s arrival.

Wu Lingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, then put away the communication array and began to try cultivating. He discovered that this time he received even more rewards, and he took another big step towards the Royal Palace level.

The next morning, Wu Lingfeng and the others got up early again. After breakfast, they went to work. Around noon, Wu Lingfeng suddenly received a paper crane. He took it, opened it, and after reading its contents, he put it away. He then went directly to Huo Lei and said, “Boss Huo, someone I knew came here today and asked me to meet him. I’ll ask for leave this afternoon.”

Huo Lei immediately waved his hand and said, “Just go. Everyone has their troubles. Just go.” Wu Lingfeng responded, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Huo Lei, turned around, and after a few steps, flew away. The others were all curious as Wu Lingfeng left.

Huo Lei glanced at everyone and then said, “A friend of Lao Wu’s came to see him. He’ll go see everyone and then get back to work.” Everyone responded and continued working, no one taking the matter to heart.

Meanwhile, Wu Lingfeng soon flew back to the area where the rogue cultivators lived. He went straight to the teleportation array and saw a person standing beside it, looking around anxiously.

Wu Lingfeng immediately went over and asked the person, “From your hometown?”

The person glanced at Wu Lingfeng and then nodded, saying, “Yes, are you Brother Feng?” Wu Lingfeng was using the alias Wu Feng here, so the other person addressed him as Brother Feng.

Wu Lingfeng asked, “How is things back home?” “It

‘s fine. The water in the Clear Water River is still as clear as ever.” This was a code word; “home” obviously referred to the Qingyang Sect, and “clear” in the Clear Water River referred to the Qingyang Sect, confirming his identity.

Wu Lingfeng nodded and said, “Follow me.” The man responded and followed Wu Lingfeng. As they walked, Wu Lingfeng whispered to the man, “My hometown sent you to help me, but it’s best if we don’t see each other too often. I’ve joined a gang now, so it’s inconvenient for me to come out. I’ll take you to that tavern in a bit. The tavern owner is from the Flame Pirate Gang. I’ll take you there for a drink. Remember the owner, then rent a house near the tavern and keep an eye on him. But you also need to have some work to support yourself. It would be best to pretend you like to drink and go for a couple of drinks every day. How about that? Can you do it?”

The man immediately said, “Don’t worry, I guarantee it. I can draw talismans, so I’ll pretend to be a talisman master, making a living by drawing talismans. This job is relatively easy, and the income is quite stable. I’ll also pretend to be drinking and go to his place for a drink, then he won’t suspect me.”

Wu Lingfeng nodded and said, “That’s good. Remember, don’t arouse his suspicion, and don’t stare at him too much. You absolutely cannot expose yourself, otherwise, once you are exposed, I will also be exposed, and our plan will be completely ruined, understand?”

The man nodded and said, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems.”

Wu Lingfeng nodded. At this time, they were almost at the tavern, and then a smile appeared on his face. He followed the man, chatting and laughing, into the tavern. The waiter in the tavern recognized Wu Lingfeng. When he saw Wu Lingfeng arrive, the waiter was stunned for a moment, and then immediately greeted him with a smile, saying, “Master Wu, you’ve arrived. You’re here early today.”

Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, “I have… ” “A friend has come, so I’ve come to entertain him. Where’s your boss?”

Just then, the owner walked in from the backyard. He was taken aback when he saw Wu Lingfeng, then smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Wu, what brings you

here during the day?” Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, “A friend has come, so I’ve come to entertain him. Old Lu, this is the owner of this shop, he’s also a friend of mine. You like to drink, you can come here for a drink sometime, his wine is quite good.”

Then Wu Lingfeng said to the shop owner, “This is my friend, surnamed Lu. He’s a talisman master, much better than me, and he also likes to have a drink.”

After the two exchanged greetings, Wu Lingfeng said, “Please prepare four dishes for us, and four jugs of wine.” The owner waved his hand, and the waiter immediately went to make the arrangements. Wu Lingfeng and the man found a table and sat down. Since it was daytime, most people were out working, so the tavern was empty. The two casually found a table, sat down, and chatted and laughed.

Soon the waiter brought the food and drinks. The two ate, drank, and chatted, while the owner stood behind the counter calculating the bill. After Wu Lingfeng and the man finished their food and drinks, they paid the bill and left. The owner even gave them a discount, and both parties were satisfied.

Afterwards, Wu Lingfeng took the man to a broker’s office and rented a house near the tavern. The house wasn’t great, but it was enough, and the man settled down there.

After the man was settled, Wu Lingfeng returned to the courtyard. Not long after he arrived, Huo Lei and the others returned, and Wu Lingfeng immediately greeted them. Huo Lei, seeing Wu Lingfeng, immediately smiled and said, “Old Wu, you’re back? How did it go? Where’s your friend?”

Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, “I rented a house for him here, and he’s settled in. Because he likes to have a drink, I rented a place for him next to the tavern. By the way, he’s a talisman master. Although he can’t draw very powerful talismans, he can still manage ordinary ones. I’ll introduce you to him sometime.” “Let’s get to know him.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Lei immediately smiled and said, “Okay, how about this, after dinner, we’ll go to the tavern and you can introduce him to me. It would be good for us to have a talisman master friend. If we could buy some talismans from him at a low price, it would greatly improve our combat strength.”

Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, “Alright, then I’ll take you to meet him tonight.” Huo Lei was naturally very happy. Soon everyone finished their meal, and Huo Lei led Wu Lingfeng and Li Tong towards the tavern.

Midway through their journey, Wu Lingfeng went to check on the man’s house, but found no one there. They immediately went to the tavern, and as soon as they entered, Wu Lingfeng saw the man. He immediately led Huo Lei over, and upon arriving, he smiled and said, “I went to your place and saw you weren’t there, so I guessed you must be here. Come, let me introduce you. This is Huo Lei, the leader of our Green Wolf Gang. This is Brother Li Tong. Boss Huo, this is my friend, Lu Yi, a talisman master.”

Huo Lei, Li Tong, and Lu Yi quickly greeted each other and then sat down.
