“Master, you are here!”

As soon as Xu Ning sat down, the male stall owner greeted him.

Xu Ning frequently visited this stall, so the stall owner quickly recognized him.

“Three large bowls of wontons, that’s all, thanks.”

Xu Ning said to the male stall owner.

“Please wait for a second.”

The male owner smiled happily and turned around.

Soon after, the male stall owner brought over a bowl of hot wontons to the table.

.

“Here, call me when this bowl is almost finished, and I will bring you the next bowl.”

“Thank you.”

Xu Ning said.

The male stall owner was quite mindful. If three bowls of wontons were served together at once, they would get cold.

Xu Ning grabbed a spoon and was about to start eating.

‘What?’

Suddenly, Xu Ning sensed something.

He looked to the side.

There was a noodle stall, and that stall was also full of people.

At the corner of the stall, there was a man in a gray coat eating noodles. He looked more than 30 years old. His appearance was unremarkable, so he blended into the crowd.

However, Xu Ning looked at him for a moment.

Xu Ning turned his head back seemingly mindlessly and continued swallowing his wontons.

The moment Xu Ning turned his head, the man in gray also cast his gaze over, staring at Xu Ning’s back.

‘Was I noticed, or was it just a coincidence…’

The gray-clothed man had a doubtful look on his face.

He lowered his head, causing his hair to cover his eyes, but he kept his gaze on Xu Ning.

Afterwards, Xu Ning didn’t look around, he just ate the wontons one bite at a time.

After one bowl was finished, he began to eat another bowl. After three bowls were eaten, Xu Ning paid and left.

Xu Ning did not look at the noodle stall again.

‘Maybe I was worrying too much…’

The gray-clothed man felt a little more relaxed when he saw Xu Ning leave quickly.

After Xu Ning paid the bill, he waited for a while for Xu Ning to leave before he got up and paid his bill.

Once Xu Ning left the stall, Xu Ning did not immediately return to the camp, instead he turned around and went to the night market.

The sky had dimmed, and lanterns had been hung up in the sky.

The gray-clothed man followed Xu Ning from far behind.

‘Do Black Armored Guards have this much free time…’

The gray-clothed man watched Xu Ning stroll around various stalls and buy a few small nick nacks.

Finally, after shopping for less than half an hour, Xu Ning left the night market.

After leaving the night market, Xu Ning went to Camp Site Three.

He was now directly south of Maple Lane. If he wanted to return to the camp, he had to go through Maple Lane and cross a bamboo forest.

The grey-clothed man followed Xu Ning the whole journey.

The man had excellent stalking skills. Xu Ning did not seem to notice him at all.

When there were many people nearby, he got closer to Xu Ning, and when there were fewer people, he got further away from Xu ning.

Soon, Xu Ning finally arrived at the bamboo forest, and he just went in.

This area was dimly lit, and the road could only be seen with the help of distant road lights and moonlight.

The grey-clothed man did not hesitate. He continued with his pursuit.

‘What?’

The gray-clothed man walked quickly, but suddenly, he noticed that Xu Ning had disappeared.

He felt a little anxious and walked faster, but he still did not catch up to Xu Ning.

‘I lost him?’

The man was a little upset.

Suddenly, the gray-clothed man felt a cool breeze blowing behind him.

He turned his head subconsciously.

He saw a human face under the moonlight.

It was Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was holding a knife behind his back as he looked at the gray-clothed man with a smile.

The gray-clothed man subconsciously took a step back.

‘I was noticed!’

The gray-clothed man realized that he had already been exposed.

As soon as he was about to flee, he saw Xu Ning stepping forward.

Xu Ning pulled out the knife behind him and slashed across the man’s escape path.

The blade trembled.

A corner of the man’s grey coat was cut off.

‘Such fast reaction speed.’

Xu Ning was a little surprised.

Although he used a short knife, his Gale Knife Technique was still in the intermediate realm.

Even with his intermediate realm knife technique and the explosive power of his inner enrichment realm, the gray-clothed man still avoided his strike.

‘This person is also in the inner enrichment realm, and he has also mastered some type of body technique!’

Xu Ning could already tell how strong this man was.

‘I have to leave quickly!’

The man in gray wanted to escape.

After avoiding Xu Ning’s strike, he turned around and went into the denser bamboo forest.

Xu Ning obviously did not want him to escape.

Although the gray-clothed man had mastered some external skills and was flexible in his movements, Xu Ning was in the intermediate realm in the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic, causing his physical fitness to be twice as strong as that of an inner enrichment realm warrior, making his speed extremely explosive.

‘So fast!’

The gray-clothed man felt the wind blowing from behind. He could hear Xu Ning’s footsteps getting closer and closer.

The grey-clothed man knew that he was about to be overtaken, so he clenched his jaw and fled in another direction.

He knew that his strength lay in his body technique.

However, Xu Ning was obviously not bad either. His intermediate realm in the Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic gave him precise body control.

The distance between the two was getting closer.

Xu Ning jumped around in the bamboo forest.

The man was within Xu Ning’s reach.

Xu Ning slashed with his knife, cutting the gray-clothed man’s right arm.

The wound was deep, and Xu Ning could feel the blade touching the bone.

The gray-clothed man screamed, and his whole body became unbalanced after his right arm was injured. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Xu Ning grabbed the man’s neck and pushed him to the ground.

The gray-clothed man had a severe wound, his mouth turned white, and his eyes were full of fear.

“I’m…”

The gray-clothed man was about to open his mouth to explain, but he saw Xu Ning put away his short knife.

“I’m not listening.”

Xu Ning hit the man in the neck with his fist.

The huge impact force made the man fall unconscious.

Xu Ning had a lot of power. If the one receiving his punch was a normal person, they might have already died.

After seeing the gray-clothed man faint, Xu Ning tore off the sleeves of his coat and tied it to his injured arm to prevent him from bleeding to death.

Xu Ning could guess who the man was; he was either from Dayuan Trading Company, or one of Chen Ren’s people.

Xu Ning knew that the grey-clothed man had no intention of killing him; he was merely stalking him.

As for why he was stalking him, Xu Ning didn’t know, neither did he care either.

He would let the professionals deal with this.

Xu Ning dragged him back to Camp Site Three.

Outside Qu Dayou’s study.

Xu Ning knocked on the door from the outside.

“Come on in.”

Qu Dayou said.

“Master.”

Xu Ning entered the house and explained, “Master, someone was following me.”

“Oh?”

Qu Dayou raised his eyebrows, but he did not look surprised.

“Does the person following you know you found him?”

Qu Dayou asked.

“He knows.” Xu Ning replied, “I have knocked him unconscious and brought to the confinement room.”

“…”

Qu Dayou nodded silently.

“Master, why are they doing this?”

Xu Ning asked.

Both of them knew who was behind the person that was stalking Xu Ning.

“I’ve told you before, we are going to take action against Cai Qinghan and Dayuan Trading Company.”

Qu Dayou said, “My guess is that they have also noticed this, and so since you’re our foundation at Maple Lane, it’s normal for you to be targeted. They want to use your whereabouts to infer clues about our actions.”

“But master, I’m just a small character.”

Xu Ning asked, “Why don’t they find out what our camp is doing instead?”

Qu Dayou laughed. “How do you know that the spy is not from our camp?”
