...

Chu Yunxuan wasn't in the mood to look at what was inside the box. Just knowing it was a heart made her feel a bit nauseous. If she were to see it with her own eyes, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Qin Fang didn't care either and casually tossed the box into the Props Box, out of sight and out of mind.

Chu Yunxuan wasn't surprised about its sudden disappearance and couldn't be bothered to ask any questions, pretending she was completely unaware.

She climbed onto Qin Fang's back again, and Qin Fang utilized the Traceless Snow Stepping Technique to quickly carry them towards the seaside.

Before long, when Qin Fang stopped, they were already standing on the beach by the sea.

Unfortunately, the sun was already fully up by then, making it impossible for them to see the sunrise. And the beach wasn't as nice as expected, with scattered patches everywhere, far less comfortable than a continuous stretch of fine sand.

Even the few better spots were clearly ruined by tourists, either littered with trash or simply unappealing to even approach...

"What a pity..."

Seeing the scene, both Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan couldn't help but shake their heads, expressing such a sentiment.

"Next time, if we get a chance, I'll take you out to a deserted little island to really enjoy the sunshine, the waves, and the golden sandy beach..."

Qin Fang gently wrapped an arm around Chu Yunxuan's slender waist and comforted her in a whisper.

The beach was a bit disappointing, and the temperature was quite low at this time of year. The sea breeze was biting cold against their faces, making it truly not the right time to go swimming.

"Okay, I'll be waiting..."

Hearing Qin Fang's words, Chu Yunxuan immediately nodded with a cheerful smile.

"Let's head back then. I bet Wu Jian is getting anxious from waiting..."

There's nothing much to see here, and the mood for admiring the mountain scenery had been ruined by the two massacres. It was about time to head back to the resort. Otherwise, with Qin and the others not returning for so long, Wu Jian was bound to get worried!

Unlike their rushed departure, the return trip was leisurely. They walked back, taking the opportunity to enjoy the mountain scenery.

Of course, they avoided places where people had died.

About two hours later, they returned to the resort, and as expected, Wu Jian was anxiously waiting, almost about to send people into the mountains to look for them.

Even though Little Qing Mountain wasn't very tall and the mountain range wasn't very large, the cell phone signal inside wasn't great. Plus, with the rain last night, it was natural for Wu Jian to worry about not finding anyone.

"Finally, you're back... I was worried sick!"

Seeing Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan appear, Wu Jian's tense face finally broke into a smile, though he still couldn't help but say this, showing that the night was a real trial for him too.

"We're both perfectly alive, what could possibly happen..."

Chu Yunxuan gave Qin Fang a glance and nonchalantly retorted.

When they returned just now, they were holding hands, strolling leisurely back, in perfect relaxation and contentment, as if they'd had a great time last night.

"You two... sigh, forget it, I won't say anything!"

Seeing his cousin's reaction, Wu Jian suddenly felt like he was worrying unnecessarily, so he didn't bother to say more.

"By the way, Brother Qin, someone is looking for you..."

But then Wu Jian remembered something and immediately said.

"Who?"

Qin Fang was also puzzled. If someone wanted to find him, they could come directly to him, so why approach Wu Jian?

"Young Master Qin, it's me..."

Just as he was speaking, Shen Liang walked over from the side.

"I'll go check it out..."

Seeing him, Qin Fang understood. It was likely Shen Liang hadn't been able to find them last night due to the heavy rain and had to wait at the foot of the mountain.

After nodding to Chu Yunxuan, Qin Fang walked over.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Fang was a bit puzzled. Normally, Shen Liang could handle minor issues himself without needing to bother him.

But seeing Shen Liang come to him now indicated it wasn't a minor issue.

"Tu San has come to Dragon Country..."

Shen Liang immediately reported, "and he might be coming for you..."

As expected, this news was indeed explosive, even shocking Qin Fang deeply.

"Are you sure?"

Qin Fang's eyebrows furrowed, then he asked.

This news is crucial and must not be overlooked, especially the latter point, whether Tu San is targeting him, Qin Fang cannot ignore it further.

"It's uncertain for the moment, but it seems Tu San heard someone say you are the murderer of Han Long..."

Shen Liang shook his head, not very confident himself but still shared the information he got with Qin Fang. The specific judgment still rests with Qin Fang.

Hearing this, Qin Fang felt it was very likely that Tu San was indeed coming for him.

Han Long was indeed killed by Qin Fang, but Jiang Rou, this woman from the Demon Sect, is not clean either. Especially after Han Long's death, her aggressive power grab makes Han Long's death seem deliberately arranged...

Qin Fang was particularly attentive to the relationship between Tu San and Jiang Rou; it seemed far from a simple employer-employee connection. There seemed to be something else, but he was unclear about the specifics.

However, Qin Fang's act of killing Han Long indeed tarnished Tu San's longstanding reputation, which for a freelancer is quite displeasing, even a stain.

To wash away this stain, Tu San would definitely spare no effort to trace this murderer...

The Assassin's Alliance over there naturally won't submit to Tu San; they won't leak Qin Fang's identity, but it's uncertain for others...

"Could it be Elder Long?"

Qin Fang's first suspect naturally was Elder Long, the only one privy to this matter. Now that Tu San is on the chase, he's most certainly suspect.

"Unlikely..."

But thinking it over, Qin Fang felt it was improbable.

Elder Long's family and business are large; he wouldn't risk his life foolishly.

If Tu San learned from him that Qin Fang killed Han Long, he would link it back to Elder Long revealing Han Long's location to Qin Fang, granting no mercy to Elder Long...

Elder Long understands this better than anyone and wouldn't do something so stupid, so the informant must be someone else.

But no other insiders remain, so the only possibility is... Someone deliberately framed him!

This possibility was almost certain; Qin Fang could fully confirm this point.

He had too many enemies, and it couldn't be ruled out that someone acquainted with Tu San simply blabbed and pinned the blame on Qin Fang.

Only, this person might not have realized that Qin Fang truly is the killer of Han Long... by luck's irony!

"Alright, I've got it. Keep gathering information and report to me anytime!"

After pondering, Qin Fang sent Shen Liang away to continue covertly gathering information. With people like Tu San involved, there wasn't much Shen Liang could do. Rash interference might risk his life, so gathering intelligence was safer...

"What's wrong?"

When Qin Fang returned to Chu Yunxuan and Wu Jian, Chu Yunxuan noticed a slight change in Qin Fang's expression and asked with concern.

"Nothing, just a minor trouble I can handle..."

Qin Fang smiled, displaying a nonchalant façade, yet the heaviness in the depths of his eyes remained.

The Bloody-handed Demon Tu San, a name feared throughout the underground world, ranking among the top ten on the villains list, a terrifyingly twisted character.

Once, Qin Fang dared only to secretly plot against him, knowing his skills were far inferior, and facing Tu San directly was utterly hopeless.

But now such a fearsome thug has his sights set on him, even entering Dragon Country specifically for him, making Qin Fang extremely alert...

Not out of fear though; on the contrary, Qin Fang was somewhat excited and eager this time.

The Bloody-handed Tu San, having ruled the underground world for a while now, broke free from the Black Fist Alliance, and after numerous killings over years, earned such a feared name.

His notoriety mainly comes from his countless murders, ruthless means, leaving no survivors, as for his strength... Mainly still at Grandmaster Level, not having reached the Grandmaster-level Tier.

If forcibly categorizing his prowess, Qin Fang estimates it to be at the Master Level Peak cultivation, whether capable of fighting against Grandmaster-level is yet to be decided, since Qin Fang only utilized gunmanship against Tu San, not fully displaying his actual strength...

Tu San seeking Qin Fang this time certainly won't end amiably.

With Tu San's nature, he never spares the innocent, regardless if Qin Fang is Han Long's murderer or not, he won't let him go.

Thus, a battle between Qin Fang and Tu San is almost inevitable.

Qin Fang's current strength barely matches Master Level Late Stage, yet if an unlimited blood burst occurs, it would compare to Master Level Peak.

Tu San's power is similar, maxing out at the edge of the peak. The outcome of their duel is uncertain as Qin Fang holds an advantage by possessing the full set of Traceless Snow Stepping Technique, whereas Tu San's movement technique is incomplete. This advantage nearly levels the playing field.

"Looks like the Berserk Potion needs to be quickly concocted..."

Considering this, Qin Fang recalled the formula for the Berserk Potion. Simply a draw wouldn't meet Qin Fang's expectations, especially with battle situations evolving swiftly, unforeseen events could arise.

If equipped with the Berserk Potion, the surging strength he'd unleash would suffice to match Tu San, possibly even killing him... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to vote on Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
