"Ah well, let's just take it one step at a time..."

Thinking too much is useless anyway. What's meant to come will always come. He can't avoid it even if he wants to, so he might as well open his heart and wait for what is about to happen.

At least from the situation just now, it was clear that Song Qingshan is very reliable. Sensing that Monk Wukong might harm Qin Fang, he immediately came over to Qin Fang's side.

With such a superb fighter by his side, Qin Fang's safety is even more assured...

Of course, Qin Fang's own strength is also extremely formidable. Although it is unlikely that he would defeat Song Qingshan, self-preservation is not an issue at all. If he uses some unconventional methods, even killing is possible.

Shangguan Tianling is a prime example...

Song Qingshan has succeeded in reaching Grandmaster Level, his cultivation has skyrocketed, almost equating to that of a Master Level Late Stage expert. In terms of strength, he is on par with Qin Fang's master, Cai Pingyuan, except that Song Qingshan is younger. If the two were to fight, the chances of Song Qingshan winning would be greater...

Now there's no point in staying in this mountain anymore, Qin Fang immediately took Tang Feifei, who was still drowsy, and left the mountain with Song Qingshan.

"Young Master Qin, what happened?"

Once they descended the mountain, Chen Da came over anxiously to inquire.

Qin Fang had suddenly asked if anyone had left the mountain halfway, which was a clear indication that something had happened, but they had been watching below the whole time and hadn't noticed anyone going up the mountain.

"It's all right now..."

Qin Fang smiled. Monk Wukong possessed the Reed Crossing River Technique, moving high and swiftly; it was no wonder Chen Da and the others didn't detect anything. If not for witnessing it with his own eyes, Qin Fang wouldn't have believed that such a movement technique that allows one to virtually fly over walls existed in this world.

Chen Da and the others were in charge of ground surveillance; they mostly wouldn't notice someone overhead. Moreover, the noise made during rapid movement was not significant. Although the trees in this mountain were not lush, they still provided enough cover.

"By the way, Brother Da, give Tiger a message when we get back, have him check if anyone has been secretly investigating me lately..."

However, Qin Fang clearly wouldn't take Monk Wukong's words as blowing wind past his ears. Shaolin Temple has a legacy of a thousand years. Even though they do not appear in public, it doesn't mean their connections are lacking.

It's only been a few days since Monk Wukong managed to trace him and even knew his whereabouts like the back of his hand; Qin Fang could not avoid paying attention.

Regardless of whether Monk Wukong and his fellow Secular Disciple brother are on the same side, Qin Fang needs to be extra cautious...

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

It's obviously not good news not knowing who the enemy is.

Monk Wukong, Qin Fang had met him just before. Such an obvious appearance was very prominent; it would be easy for Qin Fang to find out about him.

But Monk Wukong's fellow Secular Disciple brother is different!

Since he's a Secular Disciple, he does not bear striking identifiers like Monk Wukong, he might not even be a monk. Among the millions of people in Ninghai, finding such a person would be quite difficult.

Qin Fang is also trying to take precautions; he can only figure out a way to deal with that person slowly after pulling him out. If necessary, Qin Fang would not hesitate to eliminate this potential threat.

From the way Monk Wukong acted before, it seemed he didn't mind at all if Qin Fang dealt with his fellow Secular Disciple brother...

"Understood, I'll get on it right away..."

Although Chen Da had left the army, the style of his actions remained as decisive as when he was in the military. Once an order was given, he executed it immediately.

The reason why wasn't his concern.

With the deaths of Song Gang and Cao Chun, the knot in his heart was fully unraveled, and now he was even more resolutely loyal to Qin Fang, to the point where he wouldn't even frown if Qin Fang ordered him to kill someone.

...

Somewhere in Ninghai.

"Shen Wuben, I just received news that Qin snuck out of the hospital and went to a small hill on the outskirts of the city, and our men are watching him!"

"Also... my men have spotted a foreign monk, and he looks very much like the one you described!"

After the failed deception in Yangcheng, the Buddha Bone Relic was taken away from Yangcheng, and Shen Wuben quickly followed to Ninghai and activated his connections, soon tracing things back to Qin Fang.

But as he investigated, he found Qin Fang's identity to be very special, and for a moment he was somewhat hesitant to make a move... However, he quickly got in touch with Li Rui, and after the two joined forces, Qin Fang's whereabouts had been under their control.

The "person with ill intentions" that Monk Wukong warned Qin Fang about was obviously this Shen Wuben. Shen Wuben seemed to have guessed that Monk Wukong might appear and specifically arranged for men to keep an eye out for him. As a result, Monk Wukong was spotted by Shen Wuben's sent men as soon as he emerged.

Even though Monk Wukong could move swiftly, he still needed to eat and find lodging. He couldn't really roam the mountains and temples at night, begging for food like in the ancient times.

"Monk Wukong has come so soon?"

Hearing the news, Shen Wuben immediately showed a rather somber expression on his face; he was quite wary of this fellow apprentice brother.
