Martial Emperor Reborn（Completed）

The few of them quickly arrived at the entrance of the noodle house. The person in charge of monitoring Zhou Han and the others immediately came forward to report the situation.    

    

"Mayor, Kong Yang and his men are eating noodles at the leftmost table." The man said.    

    

This noodle house was rather famous in Nanjiang City. Many nobles would visit this place, so they were not surprised that Kong Yang and the others would be here to eat with the Mayor.    

    

"Oh, is the person wearing the bamboo hat here?" the mayor asked.    

    

"That person is... That person is truly strange. Even if I had to eat noodles, I wouldn't take off my bamboo hat. " The man reporting the situation replied.    

    

The Grand Master immediately said, "City Lord, let's go to the box on this side of the city. If we can see from there, we can see in that direction. When the time comes, we'll have our men go and remove that person's bamboo hat."    

    

"Yes." The mayor nodded in agreement. He was naturally familiar with this noodle house.    

    

Immediately, the few of them walked into the noodle house. Upon entering, many people started chatting with them.    

    

The waiter quickly came over and greeted them, "City Lord, do you want to go to the box upstairs?"    

    

Naturally, the waiter did not dare to disrespect the Mayor. Naturally, he did the same with Zhou Han and Kong Yang.    

    

However, when they had asked Kong Yang and Zhou Han for their seats, they had not asked for one. Instead, they had sat outside.    

    

"Yes, I want the upper room to the right." Grand Master said directly.    

    

"Then come with me." The waiter quickly led the way and quickly brought them to a private room on the right side of the second floor.    

    

Sitting at the window of the private room, the Mayor and Grand Master were able to see most of the scenes below, including Kong Yang and Zhou Han's table. The man wearing the bamboo hat was also within their line of sight.    

    

This position satisfied them.    

    

When everything was ready, the mayor ordered a man he had already chosen to move out. In order to prevent the enemies from discovering anything, that man didn't come to the second floor with them, but sat at a table below and pretended to order a bowl of noodles. When the mayor gave his order, he immediately walked towards Kong Yang and the others.    

    

Very soon, that person arrived at the vicinity of Kong Yang and the rest. Kong Yang and the rest didn't discover anything, and this naturally made the City Lord happy.    

    

Seeing that Kong Yang and the others weren't on guard at all, the rest of them naturally became more bold. They pretended to accidentally fall and directly ran into Luo Yuan, who was wearing a conical bamboo hat.    

    

It happened so suddenly that even though Luo Yuan knew what was going to happen, he was caught off guard.    

    

Of course, this was also because he was very weak. If it was Lin Long, he would have seen through his opponent no matter how hard he tried to hide his movements.    

    

The person who pretended to fall didn't only crash into Kong Yang, but was also dancing as he crashed into him. In an instant, the bamboo hat on Kong Yang's head was sent flying.    

    

Well done, I will definitely give you a raise for this! The mayor was satisfied with this situation.    

    

At this time, his eyes were naturally wide open as he looked at the person wearing the bamboo hat, and so was the Grand Master.    

    

In that instant, a somewhat ordinary face appeared before their eyes.    

    

On the right side of this face was a new scar that made this ordinary face look somewhat ugly.    

    

This face was somewhat unfamiliar to the mayor and Grand Master. It was as if they had never seen each other before.    

    

But it didn't matter, as one of the painters they brought was already starting to draw a portrait of the other.    

    

The painter had just finished drawing when the other person beside them exclaimed, "I've seen this person before!"    

    

"Hmm, where have you seen him before? Do you know who he is?" The mayor quickly asked.    

    

"I saw him at a drugstore in the city, but he didn't have the scar on his face at the time." the man replied.    

    

"I guess this scar is a new wound. In order to prevent others from seeing it, this person always wears a big bamboo hat." Grand Master couldn't help but say.    

    

"Grand Master is right." The city governor nodded in agreement.    

    

How could the two of them know that Lin Long was the one who just injured them? He could have said that he had an idea at the time.    

    

This way, he could finally find a reason for him to wear the conical hat.    

    

"But since you met him at the medicine store, the person at the medicine store might not know him." The Grand Master frowned.    

    

After all, the other party might have gone to buy the ingredients. If that was the case, there was a high chance that the people at the medicine store didn't know the other party.    

    

"City Lord, Grand Master, don't worry. At that time, the medicine store's shopkeeper was chatting happily with him, as if they knew each other. As long as we ask the storekeeper, we should be able to find out who he is." the man said.    

    

While they were talking, the person who intentionally knocked over Luo Yuan had started to apologize to him.    

    

However, Kong Yang didn't want to accept it. He stood up and scolded the person who had deliberately knocked over Luo Yuan.    

    

Kong Yang was the third young master of the Kong Residence after all. If he did not stand up and cause trouble for the other party under such circumstances, it would be too much of a waste for them to suspect him.    

    

After a round of apology, Kong Yang finally let that person leave.    

    

Kong Yang and the others returned to their chairs. At this time, they naturally pretended that they were no longer in the mood to eat.    

    

Only after receiving Lin Long's instructions did they pretend to have an ugly expression and left.    

    

How could the actions of the City Lord and the others be concealed from Lin Long, who was hiding in the darkness?    

    

Very quickly, Kong Yang and the others saw Lin Long.    

    

"Young master, the mayor took the bait?" Seeing Lin Long, Zhou Han could not help but ask.    

    

"Yes, they've taken the bait. The person who knocked over Apothecary Luo was one of them." Lin Long nodded.    

    

"That's good." Hearing Lin Long's words, Zhou Han and the others heaved a sigh of relief.    

    

On the other side, the mayor had that person bring them directly to the medicine store.    

    

They quickly arrived at a medicine store called Xing An's medicine store.    

    

"City Lord, I saw that person in this medicine store." That person quickly replied.    

    

"Alright, let's go in and ask the shopkeeper inside to see if he knows that person." Grand Master immediately said.    

    

With that, the few of them walked into the shop.    

    

"Mayor, Grand Master, why are you two here?" When he saw a group of people coming over, the medicine store manager quickly came out to welcome them.    

    

"We came here to ask a person to see if you've seen him. You have to answer honestly!" Grand Master said with a stern expression.    

    

"City lord, Grand Master, don't worry. If I've met him before, I will definitely answer honestly." The manager quickly replied.    

    

"Yes." The mayor nodded and said to the painter beside him, "Show him the portrait."    

    

In such a short period of time, this painter had already drawn the face of Alchemist Luo. Although the time was short, the painter had still drawn the face of Alchemist Luo, making the City Lord and the others feel as if they had seen an alchemist wearing a bamboo hat standing in front of them.    

    

The painter immediately took out the portrait and unfurled it in front of the medicine store manager.    

    

Taking a closer look at the portrait, the shopkeeper couldn't help but exclaim, "Eh? Isn't this Master Luo?"    

    

"Master Luo?" "You know him?" the Grand Master quickly asked.    

    

"Yes, this Luo Yuan is an alchemist from a small town in South River City." The manager nodded.    

    

"Oh, then what's his strength like?" The mayor couldn't help but ask.    

    

At this time, he had some suspicions. After all, the alchemists in a small town were rather weak, and if Zhou Han was recruiting, then something was wrong.    

    

"He is quite strong. It would be a waste to be an alchemist in such a small town. In my opinion, he should be entering the Kong Mansion." The manager said.    

    

Hearing the storekeeper's words, the mayor did not suspect anything. After all, with such strength, it was not an accident that Zhou Han had recruited him.    

    

"It must be because of Zhou Han's recruitment that he left that small town," the Mayor thought to himself.    

    

"Yes." The mayor nodded and continued to ask, "Other than that, what else do you know about him?"    

    

"I don't know. He only talked to me about alchemy. As for the matters of life, he never mentioned them to me." The medicine store manager said.    

    

After asking a few more questions and confirming that they couldn't get anything out of him, the mayor and his men left.    

    

After leaving the medicine store, the mayor looked at Grand Master, "Grand Master, do you feel that something is wrong?"    

    

"I don't feel anything wrong." Grand Master replied.    

    

"If that's the case, then that means that Yang Tianming has a grudge with Kong Yang, which is why he's framing the person wearing a conical bamboo hat like this." The mayor nodded and said.    

    

In this period of time, they had found out that the reason for Yang Tianming's foot discount was related to Zhou Han, Kong Yang, and the others, so they thought so.    

    

The two of them didn't think that Lin Long had arranged this.    

    

"City Lord, then this Yang Tianming can't be forgiven!" The Grand Master frowned.    

    

"This matter shall be left to Grand Master!" The city governor immediately said.    

    

"Alright!" Grand Master replied.    

    

Very quickly, the two of them left the noodle house. The moment they left, Grand Master went to find Yang Tianming.    

    

Seeing the Grand Master walk over, Yang Tianming quickly asked, "Grand Master, did you notice that person was not right?"    

    

"Hehe, Yang Tianming, you sure are bold. You even dare to deceive the mayor!" The Grand Master sneered.    

    

"Grand Master, when did I lie to the City Lord?" Yang Tianming couldn't help but ask in surprise.    

    

Let me tell you, the Mayor and I have already met the man wearing the bamboo hat. He is a somewhat famous alchemist in our Southern River City, and the reason why he is wearing the bamboo hat is because there is a new wound on his face. This wound makes his face look ugly, so he naturally does not want others to see it. the Grand Master said.    

    

Yang Tianming was stunned and quickly replied, "Grand Master, I don't think it's that simple."    

    

"That's just because you think we've seen it with our own eyes. How could we believe your lies?" Grand Master said coldly.    

    

He then looked towards the person beside him, "Discount his left hand!"    

    

"Grand Master, please don't!" Yang Tianming was shocked and quickly shouted.    

    

However, the Grand Master already walked out after speaking, while the subordinate beside directly pulled Yang Tianming over.    

    

Very quickly, a miserable scream rang out. After that, Yang Tianming's left hand was broken.    

    

After breaking his left arm, the Grand Master had him thrown out.    

    

There must be something behind this. The person wearing the mask is definitely not a simple person. I must find someone who believes in me! Looking at the Mayor's mansion, Yang Tianming thought fiercely in his heart.    

    

Before he could think of who to look for, a person had already walked up to his side.    

    

"Who are you?" Seeing the man's expressionless face, Yang Tianming couldn't help asking.    

    

"I belong to Young Noble Zhou Han." The man said.    

    

Young Master Zhou Han? After a moment of shock, Yang Tianming immediately thought of the fact that Zhou Han was in cahoots with that man in the bamboo hat.    

    

"What are you doing?" Hearing that, Yang Tianming's expression immediately turned extremely unsightly.    

    

"It's simple. I told you to shut up!" The person before him said.    

    

With that, he directly slapped Yang Tianming. Yang Tianming had no way of dodging at all, so he was directly knocked unconscious by Yang Tianming's slap.    

    

This person was indeed Zhou Han's person, and the reason he had come was because he had received Lin Long's orders.    

    

After fanning Yang Tianming, he directly stuffed Yang Tianming into a palanquin beside him and ordered someone to carry the palanquin to Kong Yang's residence.    

    

Very quickly, he saw Lin Long, Zhou Han and Kong Yang.    

    

"Young master, the person inside this palanquin is Yang Tianming." He quickly replied in this manner.    

    

As he said that, he pulled Yang Tianming out. Seeing that Yang Tianming was still unconscious, Lin Long and the others couldn't help but nod their heads, because this person was indeed Yang Tianming.    

    

"Wake him up." Lin Long immediately replied.    

    

That person immediately woke Yang Tianming up. When Yang Tianming, who was slowly waking up, saw Lin Long and the others standing beside him, his expression changed greatly.    

    

"You all ? What do you want to do? " He was shocked.    

    

Kong Yang sneered, "Yang Tianming, I've never treated you unfairly. Why did you do this?"    

    

"I ?" Yang Tianming, who turned pale, didn't know what to say.    

    

"Master, how should we deal with him?" Kong Yang then looked at Lin Long and said respectfully.    

    

"I'll leave it to you guys." Lin Long said indifferently.    

    

"If we keep him, he might find someone else to cause trouble for Master, so I suggest we just kill him." Kong Yang said directly.    

    

"That's right, kill him immediately." Zhou Han added.    

    

"Third young master, don't kill me. If you don't kill me, I'll repay you with my life!" Yang Tianming, who was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on his back, quickly replied.    

    

"We don't need someone like you to repay us!" Kong Yang sneered.    

    

Following that, a sword directly struck towards Yang Tianming, and without even being able to make a sound, Yang Tianming had already died.    

    

This matter was settled just like that. Next, Lin Long and Kong Yang would naturally focus all their attention on training the Symbol Literature.    

    

Unknowingly, a few days had passed. Soon, the day of the competition arrived.    

    

On this day, every single member of the Kong Family had arrived at the mansion.    

    

The competition was divided into two days. The first day was a competition of mastery of the Cold Talisman paper, and the second day was a competition of alchemy.
