October is the time for maple leaves and red forests.
The small town of Maple Grove was established and became famous for this reason.
Whenever the maple leaves are in red, many people come here to enjoy this once-a-year breathtaking scenery.
On his way to Zhenlong Sect, Su Chen had to pass through the small town of Maple Forest.
The town as a whole is not big, and you can see the end of a street, which is basically dominated by inns.
Su Chen also fell in love with the magnificent sceneries he encountered on the road and planned to stay for a day or two to see the red maple forest.
In the small town, red leaves are flying everywhere, and the road is covered with a thick layer, like a carpet, extending into the distance.
When Su Chen arrived here, it was dusk, which made the maple forest even more beautiful.
Just when you are worthy of the responsibility, you will have a feast of surprises in the world and a glimpse of the beauty of the prosperous world.
When night falls, the inns in the town light up lanterns, illuminating the area in front of their doors.
When you walk into an inn at random, you will be greeted by the noise and the smell of food.
"Sir, do you want to be a top-notch person or stay in a hotel?"
The waiter, who was wearing a gray cloth coat and a small hat, saw Su Chen walking in and immediately shouted to greet him.
"Stay one night."
Su Chen planned to leave tomorrow, but when he looked around the lobby, he raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and changed his words: "Two days."
"Good!"
Su Chen casually chose a seat by the window and sat down, looking out the window as if admiring the maple leaves illuminated by the lantern.
"one two three……"
Although his eyes were looking out the window, he was counting the numbers in his heart.
"Heh, it seems like a lot of people are waiting for me."
Let's just say it feels too ordinary. After coming out of the Medicine School and all the way here, I didn't notice anything strange. It turned out that I was waiting here.
From the moment he walked into this inn, many people eating in the lobby looked at him, and some glanced at him and then looked away.
But some of them still looked at him vaguely after retracting their gaze.
Su Chen noticed that these people were all disguised, but the evil aura on their bodies could not be disguised. Only soldiers on the battlefield and desperadoes who had been licking blood from their swords all year round could have this evil aura.
The former is naturally impossible, so the only option is the latter.
Is it possible for these desperadoes to come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery?
And even now, Su Chen still felt those hidden glances still lingering on him.
As time went by, outside the window, I also felt like I was being watched, but I couldn't be sure how much.
Even under the gaze of many eyes, Su Chen still looked as normal as he finished eating the food brought by the waiter.
It wasn't until Su Chen went upstairs that he felt those eyes disappear.
Downstairs, the people who had just looked at Su Chen showed more or less contempt.
A thin man, who looked very shrewd, said disdainfully: "Is this the person whose head the Huang family wants to take even if they pay a lot of money?"
"A mere boy, is he still worthy of our action?"
For Su Chen's sake, after they received the news, they immediately rushed with all their strength and finally got here before him. They even disguised themselves in order not to alert the target.
I thought it was such a big fish.
Is this the result?
That's it?
Opposite, a man with a simple face took a bite of food and said calmly: "Don't be careless. Since the organization asked us to come, it has its own reasons."
"Besides, you can also notice it."
The honest man glanced around, "Many people are coming for him."
The shrewd man nodded, "I don't know whether this young man dug up the ancestor's grave or slept with his aunt."
"It actually attracted so many colleagues..."
"Do you think they are all like you?"
The honest man glanced at him and shook his head, but his eyes were shining.
He didn't take it lightly because the target was a teenager. He was able to get so many people to act, not because he angered so many people, but because he was worth it.
Of course, this is not worth that.
This young man must have something special about him that made the Huang family willing to pay such a high price to take his life.
Many people have also noticed this. Just a young man has caused so many assassins to be dispatched. If it is not because he is extraordinary, then he has done something that makes the Huang family angry and resentful.
But these have nothing to do with them. Their mission is to take down Su Chen's head.
They are peers and opponents. After all, there is only one Su Chen, and they come from different organizations.
That night, the storm started.
The evening wind suddenly blew, blowing the thick dark clouds from the sky, covering up the stars in the sky.
After a while, it started to rain lightly.
Su Chen was practicing in the guest room. After a while, he heard the sound of the door being pried open. He raised his eyelids slightly to look. The door was quietly pushed open, and then several figures swept into the room like ghosts without making any sound.
However, just when they were about to take action, several more figures rushed in. Both parties were startled, looking at each other, and were stagnant in place.
Then not long after, another wave came in.
A very dramatic scene unfolded. As people continued to come in, more and more people were in the room. They were all wary of each other and were in a stalemate. They did not dare to communicate loudly for fear of waking up Su Chen on the bed.
However, they didn't know that Su Chen, who thought he was asleep, had opened his eyes and was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his chin in his hands, looking at them with interest; the rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder from time to time. Flashing by, Su Chen took this opportunity to see clearly how many people there were.
All we can say is that the actual situation is much more than expected.
"Since everyone wants to take his head, why don't we all rely on our own abilities!"
Perhaps they felt that continuing this stalemate was not an option, and they were all wearing black clothes and covering their faces, so it was hard to tell who was who, so some people couldn't help but lower their voices.
As soon as this eye appeared, it was immediately recognized by everyone.
"Okay, tell me, how to do it?"
"Why don't we capture the person first, and then we can compete with each other. The winner will get his head!"
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He thought they would continue to be in a stalemate like this, but someone still had some brains.
Others couldn't help but nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with this plan.
"I agree."
"I have no opinion."
"I can too."
…
All passed unanimously.
But the sound that sounded in the room next made them feel like they were facing an enemy.
"You make decisions for me, why don't you ask the parties involved for their opinions?"
Su Chen's voice rang in the room, and everyone was suddenly startled and looked at the bed.
Only then could he vaguely see figures sitting cross-legged on the bed. It had obviously been like this for a long time.
"Damn it, have you been discovered?"
Someone swore that in their line of work they could not be exposed in front of others.
"Don't panic, he only has one person. As long as we can capture him, it doesn't matter whether he wakes up or not!"
Some people reacted quickly.
