Chapter 468: What I see is what I have
Steward Fei didn’t panic when he saw Liang Yu’s gaze; proving the truthfulness of the information he provided was actually very simple.
He just needed to take Liang Yu to the scene to see it with his own eyes.
Steward Fei immediately told Liang Yu his idea and offered to take him there at night so he could see for himself that he wasn’t lying.
Liang Yu frowned, his eyes full of suspicion, as he stared directly at the other party and questioned him.
“Such a small reason can’t convince me. It’s still early before dark, so why wait until night? There must be some hidden reason.”
At this moment, Steward Fei’s eyes flickered, but it wasn’t because he was truly involved with the Black-robed Man; rather, his own injuries, though temporarily stable, still needed time to recuperate.
So, he could only explain.
“Sir, some matters are indeed not suitable for daytime. Night offers convenience, and acting at night can avoid many people and reduce unnecessary trouble.”
“Furthermore, my strength is not as profound as yours, Sir. The injuries I sustained from the recent confrontation with that Black-robed Man are only temporarily suppressed and still require some time to recuperate.”
Liang Yu snorted, crossing his arms. He naturally understood what the other party was saying.
Moreover, the Black-robed Man had just tried to kill him, ruling out the possibility that the other party discovered him and then put on a show of suffering in front of him.
Then, the situation just now was that the two of them hadn’t come to an agreement, and the Black-robed Man truly intended to kill Steward Fei.
The reason Liang Yu was so certain was also very simple: first, his and Hui Nian’s arrival here was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Before this, he and Hui Nian were still in West Sand City, and the distance between the two places goes without saying; if it weren’t for his fighter jet, they would have had no chance of arriving so quickly.
If all of this was the other party’s plan, then either there was a diviner among the Black-robed Men who could predict today’s events, or the demon god behind them had made a move.
He wasn’t afraid of the former, but if it was the latter, he could only flee. However, he hadn’t heard of such fortune-telling at the moment, so the possibility was small. Therefore, he leaned more towards his own view.
As for the injuries he mentioned, in Liang Yu’s opinion, they were not a problem at all; it was a simple matter to heal them. Despite this, he still didn’t relent.
“Don’t try to fool me with such words. I think you have an ulterior motive.”
“Or are you trying to secretly tip them off, exchanging your broken body for their survival?”
The other party sighed helplessly and said in a lowered voice.
“To be honest, the entrance to that place is heavily guarded during the day, making it impossible to get close. Only at night, under the cover of darkness and during the guard change, do we have a chance to enter.”
Liang Yu listened to these words and pondered for a moment, still not completely dispelling his doubts.
“I still need to weigh how much truth and falsehood there is in what you say. What if you’re deceiving me and leading me into danger?”
The other party quickly said, “Sir, how dare I deceive you? If the matter is accomplished, it will benefit both of us. If I deceive you, what could I gain?”
“Moreover, Sir, you should have seen that I refused them, and the other party clearly didn’t want me alive. If it weren’t for you, Sir, I would already be a corpse.”
“My life was given by you, and I naturally follow your lead.”
Then, under Steward Fei’s barrage of flattery, Liang Yu felt a bit lightheaded.
After the two quickly cleaned up the bodies and traces at the scene, he followed Steward Fei to another secluded small courtyard.
Upon entering a room in the courtyard, Steward Fei found a comfortable spot and sat down cross-legged, while specifically explaining to Liang Yu.
“Sir, I’m afraid we can’t go back to the Zhang family. The Black-robed Man’s family head’s guest is now dead, and it won’t be long before the family head sends people to arrest me.”
“This courtyard is a hiding place I secretly set up; they won’t find it for a while.”
“Please, Sir, protect me. Once night falls and I’ve recovered, I will go with you.”
After speaking, Steward Fei began to heal his injuries, while Liang Yu didn’t reply a word. Instead, he looked around, as he didn’t fully trust Steward Fei.
Liang Yu thoroughly searched inside and out and surveyed the surrounding environment, indeed finding nothing unusual.
It seemed he was just being overly paranoid. He secretly scoffed at himself for being too suspicious, perhaps he was too tired recently, which led to such groundless worries.
The night sky, like a vast dark curtain, slowly enveloped the entire courtyard.
Liang Yu kept a close eye on Steward Fei the entire time; he made no subtle movements and continued to recuperate from his injuries.
As the night deepened, Steward Fei stood up and stretched his limbs, a healthy color returning to his face. He nodded to Liang Yu, signaling that they could depart.
The two walked in the darkness, their footsteps barely audible.
Moonlight spilled onto the flagstone path, casting long shadows. The Cultivation Field was getting closer, and they could vaguely see the training equipment glinting coldly in the moonlight.
When they arrived near the Cultivation Field, Liang Yu indeed saw densely patrolling guards.
The two stayed in a dark spot, and according to Steward Fei, they were to wait until the guards changed shifts, at which point they could sneak in.
But Liang Yu had no intention of truly wasting time with him. After confirming the general location, he told him to wait there and be careful to hide, as he found it more convenient to act alone.
Under the cover of night, Liang Yu, now invisible, quickly swaggered to the center of the Cultivation Field.
According to Steward Fei, the other party’s location was near the central area, and he heard there was some significance to this chosen spot.
But Liang Yu didn’t care about any of that. After confirming the direction, he began to sink downwards.
At the same time, he counted the distance he was descending in his mind until, at about fifty meters, he was finally no longer enveloped by the pitch-black soil.
He didn’t see the Black-robed Man, but in front of him were boxes piled as high as a small mountain. These should be the items they had brought in.
Liang Yu then opened one of the boxes and looked at the contents, not recognizing them. He felt it was some kind of material, with some lingering, un-dissipated energy on it.
Although he didn’t recognize them, adhering to the principle that since he had come, he shouldn’t leave empty-handed, Liang Yu unceremoniously took the items.
He successively looked at several more boxes, still finding materials he didn’t recognize. Liang Yu had lost interest in looking further at this point.
Take them, take them all.
He took all the materials from the boxes, leaving only empty boxes scattered on the ground.
As for the matter of theft, Liang Yu’s stance was that he didn’t know.
He had simply discovered a treasure trove. These were all his hard-earned gains, and since there was no one else nearby, everything he saw was naturally his.
