The Eastern Continent Swordsman
CH. 81 – Puppet Master Behind Dalang

Actually, Zhou Fu had no business with the death of that noble family. If only he had continued on his way to the Shen Shen residence, it would have been much better. But when he begins to suspect the mastermind behind the death, his attention is drawn to the case. A possible case would have made him believe the suspicions of Patriarch Yuan Kai back then.

“Sorry, it seems like I can't keep my promise Patriarch Yuan. I will be a little longer here,” Zhou Fu muttered inwardly just as he looked at the corpses of one member of that noble family.

Unfortunately, while he was still performing the introductions on the two healers handling the case, a bearded person came over. The bearded man was furious and showed his displeased expression to Zhou Fu. From the style of speech, it is clear that the person is an important and powerful person, or it can also be said to be a person who feels he has power.

“Sorry, Sir. Whoever you are, I want to straighten out this family death case!” zhou Fu replied in response to the bearded man's anger.

“Did my ears not hear wrong? Hey, what can a little boy like you do? Go back to your mother's armpit if you really still want to live a good life!” hardik the bearded man to Zhou Fu who was still considered an inexperienced boy.

“Master, believe. I discovered the irregularities of the bodies of one member of this family. And it is a mistake if a healer actually gives an incorrect explanation to the citizens!”

“Ha ha ha, talk you digress everywhere snot boy! Wipe your snot back and get out of here. This place is not the playground of children snot!” the bearded man ruffled his waist as he invited his guards to laugh at Zo Fu.

“If you are satisfied with his laughter, please leave here because I really still have business with these two healers! You better not bother me!” Zhou Fu started to get annoyed and spoke in a serious tone.

Instead of taking it seriously, the bearded man was even more petrified laughing at Zhou Fu. “Ha ha ha! What can a boy like you do?!”

“I can make Master a corpse like them, if Master seriously asks me what can I do. But of course I won't do it, so you don't have to worry. Just give me time to complete the question and answer with these healers, my Master's life forgive!” said Zhou Fu while pointing towards the two healers who until now still showed an unsettled expression.

“Bags you little boy! If only my mood wasn't very good, I'd finish you merciless! Thank you to me because I will spare your life tonight!” firmly the bearded man with one finger pointed at Zhou Fu's forehead. He was angry at Zhou Fu, but seeing that Zhou Fu was still quite young, he thought that Zhou Fu might just be a child of a new noble who still did not understand manners.

“Master Ye, we've done our job. Can we go back home?” one of the healers was seen showing a pleading expression towards the bearded man whom he called Mr Ye. Mr. Ye was the leader of the village.

“Of course, you can go home. Don't mind the boy doesn't have this manners. I'm the one who authorized this area. Go home!” mister Ye exclaimed as he gestured for the two healers to leave the residence of the noble family who died together.

“I told you I still want to ask you guys!” Zhou Fu directly blocked the steps of the healers using his sword.

Seeing the situation, Master Ye was furious and called his three bodyguards to teach Zhou Fu a lesson.

“Fucking boy! I had to ask for my forgiveness to come back! Guards, teach him manners! Looks like his parents forgot not to teach manners since childhood!” cry Mr. Ye while calling his three bodyguards to get closer.

Three of Master Ye's bodyguards advanced in unison to teach Zhou Fu a lesson, but at the same time Jing's bodyguards came with Feng Yaoshan. Master Ye looked back and saw the arrival of two men towards where he was. Master Ye was aghast in shock when he saw the figure of the young man wearing the attributes of a First Class Noble. He bowed with trembling, followed by two healers at the place.

Feng Yaoshan frowned, as he did not understand the circumstances, he could only comb the room, observe the people in the place and still not understand what was going on.

“Rise! Who did you say that was? Little bumpkin? She?” Feng Yaoshan asked as he pointed his index finger towards Zhou Fu.

Master Ye got up then nodded his head, “right, Young Master! I'll get it done soon! Sorry for this little commotion!”

“Boy Child! You're powerful enough, aren't you?! Get this bearded uncle out of here! He's been interfering with my business from earlier!” Zhou Fu pointed his index finger at Feng Yaoshan.

“Bags watch your mouth! How dare you give orders to Young Master!” Master Ye glared showing a wrathful face at Zhou Fu.

“Ehm... How yes... As he said, Master has disturbed him. Get out of here!” feng Yaoshan's orders while scratching his non-itchy head.

Meanwhile, Master Ye was immediately aghast in shock when he heard the orders from the First Class Master Nobles. The bearded man looked still confused by the circumstances. He asked Feng Yaoshan if Feng Yaoshan had not mistakenly given the order.

“If you still love your life, apologize to the boy before you leave!” feng Yaoshan replied in response to Master Ye's question which was still confused.

Mr. Ye began to break out in cold sweat, if someone as powerful as the First Class Nobles obeyed the orders of the teenager who a moment ago he called a snot boy, he could not imagine the level of caste where the teenager was.

“I'm lazy to see his face, no need to apologize. Just get out of here as soon as possible because my business is with these healers!” murmured Zhou Fu with a disinterested expression towards Master Ye.

Master Ye's body trembled violently, he repeatedly bowed and thanked Zhou Fu before he stepped his feet out of the place with a trembling body. Master Ye felt quite lucky when one leg had stepped out and nothing happened to his body. He had thought that at least his body would be thrown sharp objects as punishment for his disrespect for the mysterious teenager who might be very powerful.

“Hey, what mess did you just make, little brother?” feng Yaoshan asked half-grumbled at Zhou Fu when Master Ye and his bodyguards had left.

“Looks like I'm interested in this family death case. You don't mind if we stay overnight?” Zhou Fu asked as he reopened the hood covering the four corpses in front of him.

“Huft, even if we object, can it stop you?” said Feng Yaoshan while grunting in annoyance.

“Alright, you guys look for lodging. I'll catch up after my affair with these healers is done!”

Feng Yaoshan is raising both shoulders as if the body cue means ‘ah, whatever you say!’. Afterwards, the noble's son left the house with Jing's bodyguards. Along with this, the two healers looked terrified and began to prepare some confessions that they had arranged in their heads.
