Chapter 960 - 952: Omission
"I’m not living a life completely cut off from the world. I still have connections with them. Even here in prison, there are some people you can use. As long as they get enough benefits, they’ll definitely help you get things done. The people here are all desperados, they’re not afraid of dying, so what else would they be afraid of?" the old man said.
Just as Xiao Yifei was about to remind the old man that "you’re one of them too," the old man continued, "But I’m different from them. I’m very afraid of dying now. I want to live and get out of here, even though I know it’s almost impossible."
This man in front of me is truly hard to read! He must be someone with means, otherwise, at his age, who would be willing to help him and cooperate with him? Xiao Yifei no longer dared to underestimate this person; rather, he shouldn’t underestimate anyone here.
The people who end up in this place must have been the ones the outside authorities had no solution for, and thus exiled them here. Like Liu Rui’s father, he must be a very smart person, and his fighting skills might not be weak either.
Then I’m probably the weakest one here, having neither intelligence nor physical strength, thought Xiao Yifei. It’s best to hurry up and find Liu Rui.
This time, with the old man’s guidance, Xiao Yifei didn’t get lost and smoothly walked out of this house. He suddenly realized how coincidental it was that he unwittingly came to this place, then happened to meet this somewhat mysterious old man, who easily told him such a great clue.
All of this can’t be described as coincidence anymore; it felt like someone deliberately arranged it all, unless there was heavenly assistance, how could such a favorable thing occur?
Perhaps heaven saw Xiao Yifei struggling alone to find the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle and decided to help him!
Isn’t this how many martial arts novels write it? Someone accidentally falls into a cave and discovers a master of supreme martial arts living there, who then takes him as a disciple, and finally, he becomes a supreme master himself. Xiao Yifei certainly hopes such a good thing could happen to him.
As Xiao Yifei continued forward, he discovered that the house ahead seemed to have quite a few people in it, hearing the sounds of voices. Yet, he dared not approach rashly, so he could only hide far away alone.
