C898 A Strange Courtyard
It seemed like there was only one possibility. The door was often opened and closed. Thinking of this, Ye Bufan turned around and returned to the courtyard. He squatted down and looked at the weeds on the ground.
The weeds were lush and there were no signs of footsteps. From this point, it did not seem like there were many people coming and going.
A puzzled expression appeared on Ye Bufan's face. He stood up. He looked straight ahead. There were a total of three dilapidated houses in the courtyard. The door was covered with spider webs. The spider webs were very complete. There was not a trace of damage.
This was a strange courtyard!
Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was running for his life. It didn't matter if the courtyard was strange or not. Ye Bufan felt that it was a little strange for him to waste his time here. He wouldn't get anything anyway. Why did he need to do something meaningless?
In the next moment, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard. It was quiet outside. He could not hear any noise. It was as if this alley did not belong to the same world as the bustling main city. He could feel the long-lost silence here, and it made him feel at ease.
To be honest, Ye Bufan really did not want to leave this heart-warming environment. He returned to the noisy world again, but perhaps it was a fate that cultivators had to experience. He was destined to live a life of uneasiness, and Ye Bufan was no exception.
Luckily, he remembered the path he had taken before, or else Ye Bufan might really have gotten lost. Even so, it took him quite some time to return to the entrance of the inn. Ye Bufan let out a light breath. Whenever he thought of the hundreds of people he had chased just now, he would feel extremely depressed.
Anyone would feel unhappy that he had inexplicably become the target of someone else's revenge. Up until now, Ye Bufan still firmly believed that they had mistaken him for someone else.
Walking into the inn, Ye Bufan was surprised to see Hu wolfing down food on a table leaning against the wall. It was as if he hadn't eaten for half a month. Looking at this shameful appearance, if it wasn't for the fact that he was looking for Hu... How could he be so unlucky as to be hunted down by hundreds of people?
This heartless guy still had the face to eat and drink here!
Ye Bufan kicked Hu's back. Hu was caught off guard. He was sent flying along with the table. He angrily got up from the ground. Ignoring the fact that his body was covered with food, he turned around and cursed, "Bastard! Do you want to die? How dare you kick me?!"
When Hu saw Ye Bufan standing in front of him with a dark face, he was instantly dumbfounded. The rest of his words were stuck in his stomach. He raised his head and punched the air awkwardly.
"You are quite arrogant, kid." Ye Bufan originally wanted to make Hu suffer a little, but he didn't expect Hu's words to be so harsh. Suddenly, a fire started burning in his heart. He thought of the unfortunate incident that happened just now. He couldn't suppress the anger and anger in his heart any longer.
There were quite a number of people eating in the inn. They had all put down their chopsticks the moment Ye Bufan attacked. They were watching the show that was going on in the inn with great interest.
Hu's expression was tearless. He couldn't believe that he had scolded his brother-in-law, Ye Bufan. He didn't know what death was.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't know it was you. Just go around me." Hu was on the verge of tears. He looked at Ye Bufan pitifully with a begging expression.
Ye Bufan frowned and looked around. There were too many people here. Hu was not young anymore. He knew what face meant. If he were to teach Hu a lesson in front of so many people, it would inevitably leave a shadow in his heart. He thought for a moment. Ye Bufan put on a stern face and said coldly, "Come, follow me."
Hu lowered his head and listlessly nodded. He obediently followed behind Ye Bufan.
Back in the room, Ye Bufan still had a cold expression on his face. Hu quietly closed the door and said with a dry smile, "Brother-in-law, don't be angry. I won't do it next time."
"Do you know why I kicked you?" Ye Bufan felt relieved in his heart. After all, Hu was still a young man. He was at the age of causing trouble. Besides, Ye Bufan had no right to restrict Hu's freedom. However, although the main city seemed lively, it was actually filled with danger. There seemed to be a terrifying mouth outside. If one was not careful, one could die without a burial ground.
"I shouldn't have scolded brother-in-law." Hu lowered his head and said carefully.
Ye Bufan sighed and said lightly, "Hu, I am not blaming you for scolding me. I should not have sneaked out. I have many enemies in the main city. If you are targeted by them, it will be troublesome. Your strength can be used to deal with ordinary opponents, but if you encounter a powerful enemy, it will be hard to tell whether you will live or die. "
Hu's face revealed a touched expression. He said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, I know I was wrong. It's too boring to stay in the room. I want to go out for a stroll."
"Forget it. Next time you want to go out, don't forget to tell me, so that I won't worry about you." Ye Bufan said in a slow tone.
Hu nodded in a hurry, as if he would be blamed by Ye Bufan again if he was late.
"Oh right, brother-in-law, I accidentally bumped into a man and a woman on the street. They seemed to be talking about you, and they are planning to make you a scapegoat..."
What, scapegoat?
Ye Bufan was shocked and quickly asked, "What did they say? Explain it clearly."
A thoughtful expression appeared on Hu's face, then he said, "When I was wandering the streets, I saw a fat man talking to a woman. I looked at him curiously. At this moment, I heard the three words' Ye Bufan 'in my ears. I quickly got closer.
Fatty said that Ye Bufan happened to be in the main city, so it was appropriate for him to be the scapegoat. The girl said that the Zhou family might not be able to kill Ye Bufan, and Fatty said... We can use the wedding to kill the relatives and friends of the other guests. With so many people gathered together, we can definitely kill Ye Bufan."1
" That's all they said. Then, they left in different directions. I followed that girl all the way to the outside of City Lord's Mansion. This girl entered City Lord's Mansion because there were forty guards standing at the entrance. I didn't dare to barge in, so I came back to report this news to you. "
After listening to the long speech, Ye Bufan fell into deep thought. The news brought back by Hu was too important. He had found the answer to everything he had encountered today.
It turned out that someone had planned this unlucky accident. Damn it! Who on earth set up such a vicious scheme to frame me?
After thinking for a while, Ye Bufan smiled bitterly. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have gone to the wedding to cause trouble. Although he had successfully ruined the wedding, it had brought him endless trouble. Even if there was no need for people to deliberately set him up, there would still be people who would come looking for him sooner or later. At that time, Ye Bufan would also not be able to give a reasonable explanation. The final result would probably not be much different from today's.
The people of the Zhou family and the family and friends of the guests who had died tragically were probably only a small portion of the people who had come to seek revenge. If they were targeted in the future, they would face even more people who had come to seek revenge.
"Brother-in-law, are the two of them your enemies?" Although Hu didn't dare to disturb Ye Bufan's contemplation, he couldn't help but ask.
Ye Bufan calmed himself down and shook his head slightly. He said lightly, "I don't know, but since they set me up and know my name, they must be my enemies."
He quickly recalled the word 'fatty' in his heart. The word 'fatty' made Ye Bufan think of Ye Zhu first. However, Ye Zhu still hoped that Ye Bufan would go to City Lord's Mansion to save his friends. How could he set them up again? Besides, if he wanted to kill Ye Bufan, he could have done so a long time ago. It seemed like there was no need to cause so much trouble.
Therefore, Ye Zhu's suspicion could be completely eliminated. Ye Bufan frowned and thought for a while. Apart from Ye Zhu, he really didn't know a second fatty.
"You said that woman entered the City Lord's Mansion?"
Hu nodded and said with certainty, "I saw it clearly. She did enter the City Lord's Mansion. The guards did not stop her. Instead, they respectfully welcomed her in. It seems like her status in the City Lord's Mansion is very noble. "
Who exactly is this woman?
Ye Bufan once again fell into deep thought. The most unbelievable thing was that she was actually related to the City Lord's Mansion. Ye Bufan had only wandered around the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. Until now, he still had no idea what was going on inside. How could he have provoked those people?
Furthermore, she seemed to know me.
For the whole day, Ye Bufan was stuck in his room, not coming out. Even when he was eating, he did not make any movements. He lay motionless on the bed like a dead man. Without saying a word, Hu was already bored to death. At the same time, his stomach was growling. Although he was hungry, he did not dare to make any sound in the quiet room.
Because an overly loud sound would wake Ye Bufan, who was deep in thought, up. Little tiger understood. The man and woman he met on the street must be Ye Bufan's enemies, not to mention the fact that they were related to City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, the identity of the woman was very important.
Since she was Ye Bufan's enemy and knew his name... At the very least, it meant that they knew Ye Bufan, and Ye Bufan must have an impression in his mind. It wasn't just Hu who thought the same, Ye Bufan also thought the same. He suspected that he had forgotten someone who was not easy to remember.
When the light in the room dimmed, Hu finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He took a deep breath and carefully said, "Brother-in-law, do you know who it is?"
Ye Bufan came back to his senses and shook his head in disappointment. "Not yet. Maybe these two know me, but I don't know them. It is very likely that they are hired by someone who has a grudge with me. That is why they know my name."
Hu nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that he agreed with this guess.
"What time is it now?" At this time, Ye Bufan suddenly asked.
"It's late. It's time to eat." Hu must be very hungry. Speaking of which, he did not forget to eat.
Night? Ye Bufan revealed a thoughtful expression. He used the night as a cover. It was the best time to enter the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion. Of course, the number of guards would definitely increase compared to during the day. However, Ye Bufan still had a chance to take advantage of the darkness.
"Hu, you stay in the room for now. I will go to the City Lord's Mansion and ask around. If you are hungry, you can go down and eat something, but you must not leave the inn. Do you hear me? If I don't see you when I come back this time... I'll definitely punish you severely. " After saying that, Ye Bufan straightened his face.
