Chapter 1931 Temple Fair
"That's true."
Wan Shufang shook her head and threw away the messy thoughts in her mind. Qian Er received the order, accepted it and left the private room.
He sent someone to deliver the message and soon received a reply, and they agreed on a location. On Chen Changli's side, he made preparations in advance and set up an ambush at the agreed place, waiting for people to take the bait and then arrest them.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the appointed day arrived. The people from Tiancang Pavilion were ready for battle.
On the other side, in a rich and luxurious house, there was singing and dancing. At the first seat, a man was eating pork elbows and drinking wine. When he heard the report from his subordinates, he sneered and the fat on his face trembled.
"Heh, a bunch of ignorant kids, they still want to plot against me, Turlu. Since they want to play, then I will play with them. Pass on my order, start, and leave no one alive."
"Yes, master." The subordinate took the order, saluted and quickly retreated.
Looking at the person's back as he left, Turlu waved his hand and drove the dancing girl away.
"Bah, you little girl. I could kill your father back then, and I can kill you now." Turlu sneered, obviously disdaining Minghe's little tricks.
As early as when the news came from Tiancang Pavilion that the jade pendant was found, he had already thought of how to fight back.
That night, there was a melee between the two sides, and the people from Tiancang Pavilion fought back, thus they were able to escape by chance. Before they fled, they heard Turlu's arrogant voice.
"People from Tiancang Pavilion, go back and tell Chen Changli and Wan Shufang that they are too naive to plot against me, and the little girl from the Luo family is not qualified either."
As he spoke, Turlu burst into laughter. His wild laughter echoed in the dark night, appearing somewhat terrifying. Everyone in Tiancang Pavilion was injured and gnashed their teeth, but they could do nothing about Turlu and could only flee in a hurry.
Back at the teahouse, Chen Changli's face darkened when he heard the reports from those people. He became even more curious about the other party's identity: "Who is this person?"
"Since he knows our identities, we have most likely been exposed long ago, which led to the failure of our plan. It seems that we need to make other plans."
After saying this, Chen Changli glanced at Qian Er and said calmly, "Manager Qian, you should also prepare early to avoid retaliation from the other party. I think his strength should not be underestimated. I'm afraid he will be a tough opponent."
"Don't worry, sir. I will make proper arrangements." Qian Er clasped his fists towards Chen Changli and looked at Minghe. However, the plan had failed and Minghe was also having a headache, so he was not in the mood to pay attention to him.
There was a bustling noise coming from outside the private room window. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang tilted their heads to look outside. People were coming and going on the street, moving things, banging and hammering, as if they were preparing for some grand ceremony.
"Why is it so lively outside?" Wan Shufang looked puzzled. She said this to Qian Er. Noticing that everyone's eyes were on her, Qian Er chuckled.
The fat face was filled with a trace of joy, and he said in a loud voice: "You are lucky. You came by coincidence. The annual feast in Biqiu City is in these two days, so everyone is extra busy preparing for the feast."
Hearing this, Chen Changli was slightly stunned: "Feast? What feast?"
The sacrificial ceremony in Kali Town still left him with lingering fears. From the moment he entered Bhikkhu City, he felt that there was something weird about this place. Could it be that there was also some sacrificial ceremony?
As he thought silently in his heart, Chen Changli's eyes became fierce, and a glare scared Qian Er so much that he forgot what he wanted to say. He swallowed and finally calmed himself down.
"It is a traditional feast in Bhikkhu City. During this period, many activities are held throughout the city for the people to have fun, such as martial arts competitions, martial arts competitions, and temple fairs. It is very lively every year."
Qian Er explained, fearing that Chen Changli and his party might not understand as they had just arrived, so he introduced each activity again. At temple fairs, young men and women often went to make wishes and pray for blessings, and most of the participants in the arena competitions were martial artists.
"Also, there will be many exquisite stalls selling all kinds of things during the feast. The feast will last for five days. If you are curious, you can go and have a look."
After hearing this, Chen Changli and the others immediately showed an expression of understanding, but when they thought about what happened today, they suddenly became worried again.
"Changli, this time, we failed to catch the person behind this, and were instead outwitted by the other party, causing serious damage to Tiancang Pavilion. I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome later." Wan Shufang raised her head and met Chen Changli's gaze. She also saw the solemnity in his eyes.
Originally, this time, Minghe used a strategy to try to lure those people out and catch them in a trap, but he didn't expect to fail.
Minghe was so angry when this matter was mentioned that she slammed the table.
"Damn it, these people are so insidious and cunning!"
Minghe was so furious that Qian Er couldn't help but wipe his sweat. Worried about bringing bad luck to himself, he dared not say anything. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked out the window.
There were still crowds of people outside, and the people were working diligently, preparing everything for the banquet. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang frowned and stared at the ground for a long time, but their brows never relaxed.
"Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, what should we do now? We can't just let that man continue to get away with it." Minghe was eager for revenge and couldn't help asking.
Her voice pulled the two back to their thoughts. Wan Shufang sighed and said, "Minghe, now is not the time to worry about this. What we should worry about now is the feast."
"I'm worried that during the feast, those people will appear and cause chaos..."
Those people were targeting them, but if innocent people were to be harmed in order to catch them, that was something neither Wan Shufang nor Chen Changli wanted to see.
Hearing Wan Shufang's words, Qian Eryi slapped his head and said, "So this is what you are worried about."
He raised his head and saw Chen Changli and Wan Shufang frowning. He smiled and waved his hand to comfort them, "If it's this matter, you two don't have to worry."
Qian Er looked relaxed. He thought they were worried about not catching the person behind the scenes, so he didn't dare to say anything. But he never thought that they were worried about the safety of Bhikkhu City.
These words immediately made Chen Changli and Wan Shufang look at Qian Er with puzzled expressions.
"The banquet is in chaos, and it's easy for trouble to arise. Why did Manager Qian say that?"
Hearing Wan Shufang, Qian Er was slightly startled. Seeing the puzzled expressions of the others, he seemed to have just remembered that they were not familiar with Biqiu City. The smile on his face also contained a little regret: "It was my negligence that I forgot that the Pavilion Master and the two of you were not familiar with Biqiu City."
"We have four great Dharma protectors in our Bhikkhu City. Their abilities are unmatched. So no matter how powerful the opponent is, it is impossible for them to defeat the four Dharma protectors and sneak into Bhikkhu City to cause trouble."
Qian Er opened his mouth to explain, and when he mentioned the Four Dharma Protectors, there was an added hint of pride and admiration in his expression, as if they really were some kind of banished immortals that could not be surpassed.
"The Four Dharma Protectors?"
