Chapter 1977: 1977
AST 1977 - Specialized for Assassins Restraint, the Shang Clan?



Qing Shui dashed over again after the opponent had evaded, being even faster than before . At the same time, he used the Heavenly Vision Technique .

Dragon-capturing Hands!

Simultaneously, Qing Shui continued dashing forward and punched the man’s shoulder with no mercy .

Bang!

The skinny man was thrown away while holding a dagger in hand . He gaped at Qing Shui, looking surprised, and disappeared like a spirit .

Qing Shui’s expression remained unchanged . Under the Heavenly Vision Technique, any hidden assassins would be revealed . Without looking around, Qing Shui already knew where the assassin was . He only used the spiritual sense to detect the opponent and now, he was guessing where the opponent had come from .

Why would he get tailed upon his arrival at the Great Shang City?

The assassin moved once again, thrusting his sharp dagger to Qing Shui’s neck .

Qing Shui turned his body around and made one big step to the left, giving out an elbow strike .

This move was rapid and precise . It was absolutely out of the assassin’s expectation .



Qing Shui’s elbow strike hit the main Acupoint on the assassin's chest . Although it was not fully powered, blood still came spurting out from the assassin . Just as he was thrown out, Qing Shui stood before him in a flash and grabbed his neck .

“Tell me . Why are you stalking me?” Qing Shui said in a cold tone .

“You are the Battle God Inheritor!” The assassin looked pale .

“Who asked you to follow me?”

“I'm from the Shang Clan . I have to be clear of every stranger or suspicious men and the reasons they come here . ”

This man did not hide anything . Qing Shui could feel that he was being honest . Besides, Qing Shui had just arrived at the Great Shang City by ‘falling from the sky’ . Hence, he reckoned it was not somebody with other motives . This man should be here to only gather information . It was not a big deal if he was from the Shang Clan .

Qing Shui wanted to finish off the opponent badly, but once he did that, the Shang Clan would probably figure it out . By then, he would have conflicts with the Shang Clan .

The man seemed to be an important person in the Shang Clan . He was very strong but he was also being restrained by Qing Shui . He was defeated easily .

The skinny guy was very dumbfounded at the moment . As the Ci Demon Inheritor, he had killed a lot of stronger men with his dagger . He was swift in the dark and danced on the tip of knives . His life was dangerous and exciting . He had walked through all these years without getting harmed .

Out of his expectations, he was defeated by someone who looked young .

“Give me a reason not to kill you . ” Qing Shui stared at the man .



“I've killed many but I've never killed any public citizen . The Shang Clan is not an evil family, so I only kill those who deserve it . At least, those who are involved,” The skinny man uttered slowly .

The assassin had a sharp observation . Within such a short period, he had understood something in Qing Shui’s eyes, despite not knowing his personality . He had analyzed rapidly and said that without further hesitation .

“I am new here, thinking about opening a clinic . However, I am not familiar with this place and I don't want to plead for help . Get me a place which is not too far off . ” Qing Shui demanded after thinking .

“Senior, no problem . ” The skinny man knew he was safe for now and everything could be negotiated .

Qing Shui released his hands and tapped on several points on the man’s body . The skinny man’s pain was greatly reduced, his previously pale face and sweaty body felt like in Heaven . His entire body was soothed at once .

“I know you are the Ci Demon Inheritor . I don't care what you do . Just remember my words . I wish nothing like this will happen again . Otherwise, I will kill you no matter who you are . ” Qing Shui said while letting him lead the way .

“I know . Don't worry, senior . I would never ever dare to offend you again . ” The man was respectful and obedient . In his mind, Qing Shui was a scary old monster .

“Also, don't mention a word about today’s incident . Or else, I will blame it all on you . You can leave my words behind . You can even ignore it . ”

“I won't! I definitely won't!”

……

……

Yushang Street!

It was one of the largest and busiest streets in Great Shang City . Yushang Street might not be the most crowded, but it was certainly the highest-ranked one . The quality of goods here was much better and people on Yushang Street were all rich . The buildings appeared grand and the shops were luxuriously decorated .

“Senior, I have a small room here . Hope you don't mind . ”

Along the journey, Qing Shui learned that the skinny man was named Lang Ci . At the moment, Lang Ci was pointing at a door while talking to Qing Shui .

The house was not very huge . There were two big rooms . It was slightly more than 50 square meters but was very tall, as tall as its surroundings . This was a small-scale, boutique herbal trading shop .

“Is this shop yours?” Qing Shui asked .

Lang Ci’s mouth twitched before he replied with a fake smile, “Yes, it's mine . Just a small business . ”

“I wonder if the Shang Clan know about it . ” Qing Shui asked again while smirking .

“They don't know . I bought this myself . ” Lang Ci twitched again .

“Alright . I want the three lower floors and you can use the upper ones for your herbal trading . I don't want it for free . I can help you with one thing that doesn't go against the principle . Remember, I'm a doctor, probably with good skills . So, you don't have to rush to realize this promise . ” Qing Shui suggested .

Lang Ci had a brief thought and nodded happily, “Thank you, senior . You want to open a clinic . you can take as many herbs as you want from my place . ”

Next, Lang Ci entered the building and ordered his man to move the things to the upper floors . He even shifted his shop sign three floors higher .

There was a main staircase especially for going up by the side for external use .

Soon, floor one to three were emptied out . Qing Shui looked at the clean and vacant space . The marble floor could reflect his shadow . There was an outer and inner room which could be used as a bedroom or hidden treatment room . Meanwhile, second floor and third floor could be bedrooms .

Soon after, Lang Ci made his man gather the equipment for a clinic and racks for medicine . They were of the best quality . In a short while, it appeared like a proper clinic . Qing Shui was impressed by Lang Ci’s efficiency and decisiveness, without the slightest procrastination .

It was noon when they had settled down . At noon, Qing Shui received a signboard . Three words were carved nicely on the sign, ‘Imperial Cuisine Hall’ .

Qing Shui was not in a hurry . After all, it was not official yet . Besides, it was already noon time .

“Lang Ci, let's get something to eat . ”

“Okay . How about the Jade Fragrant Restaurant?” Lang Ci replied .

“Anywhere you say . I'm new here so I'm not familiar with this place . ” Qing Shui nodded .
