The Phoenix Pavilion in the Flower City was crowded with individuals on another regular day. All across the place, a steady onslaught of yells, mumbles, and grumbles could be heard.

Suddenly, the crowd's attention was sparked when they saw an enormous carriage approaching the pavilion, surrounded by burly men riding on the horses.

Several of them became curious about the identity of the individual who was riding in the Phoenix Pavilion's private carriage. Many people had heard of the phoenix pavilion's transportation service, and they knew that only the powerful and wealthy could afford the service of private transportation.

As the carriage came to a halt in front of the pavilion, they noticed a good-looking, silver-haired young man, dressed in an expensive purple robe and holding a feather fan, step out. When he stepped out, he had a haughty expression on his face and looked around the crowd.

People began whispering to one another as they tried to figure out who the young master was.

---------------------------------------------------

As Andy stepped out of the carriage, a sea of people whispering among themselves greeted him. He wasn't bothered by being the center of attraction as he had got accustomed to it.

During this one month, he visited many towns and cities, and he drew attention everywhere he went. He was uncomfortable at first as he was not used to being the center of attraction, even in his time on earth. It wasn't uncommon for people to flatter him, and some girls even started flirting with him. Many of them wanted to grab hold of the thighs of the rich young master.

Following a series of encounters with the crowd, he got accustomed to his surroundings. He accepted the fact that he was Lu An and that Lu An was him. A rich young master of the Lu family.

He stretched his muscles as he'd been sitting in a carriage for the last several hours and felt extremely cramped.

"Welcome, Young Master Lu," he heard a female voice call out to him, and his gaze was drawn to a woman dressed in a tight red robe, steadily approaching him with a smile on her face.

Everyone surrounding the carriage heard the female, and they started whispering among themselves.

"Is he from the Lu family of the Blue Lord empire?"

"Isn't he that infamous young master of the Lu family?"

When Andy heard the whispers, he was astounded to learn that the infamous deeds of Lu An were also well known in the Green Heaven Empire?

He shook his head and fixed his gaze on the young woman in red. When she noticed Lu An's gaze fixed on her, that young lady shuddered for a moment, but she kept a smile on her face as she stood in front of him.

"Did you know I was coming?" Andy inquired, an astonished expression appeared on his face.

"Yes, would you like to follow me inside?" She asked with a smile.

Andy nodded at her and followed her inside.

As he followed her inside, he noticed that this Phoenix pavilion looked exactly like the one in his city. People were crowding around the counters. Some of them even looked at him with mockery in their eyes.

"Lu An, O Lu An, I did not know you were so popular," Andy grumbled as he shook his head and followed the woman to the guest room.

The guest room was big and lavishly decorated, with expensive curtains and a large couch in the middle.

As he entered the guest room, he sat on the couch, looked at the lady in front of him, and asked.

"How did you know I was on my way?" He inquired solemnly.

The fact that they were aware of his upcoming visit to the city surprised him. The reason he chose this city over the Empire's capital was that it was the closest to the Mountain of Abyss.

And he was certain that he hadn't stopped at any Phoenix Pavilion branches during his journey. But then he remembered that this pavilion had been described in the book as being very mysterious.

And, as expected, the young lady replied,

"We have our ways of getting the news; is there anything else we can do for you?"

After a moment, he nodded with a meaningful expression on his face.

"I would appreciate it if you could arrange for a place for me to stay, and," Then he stared at her for a moment and said,

"I'd like you to find someone and, if possible, kill him."

He stared at her as he waited for her response.

According to the book, there is a secret organization within Phoenix Pavillion that deals with assassinations. However, only a few wealthy and powerful people were aware of it.

The woman's face became solemn, and after a brief pause, she replied to him.

"Please wait? I would like to consult with my manager,"

Andy nodded, and she exited the room quickly.

As he gazed at the disappearing figure of that lady, he reflected upon his decision to assassinate Fang Yan.

Fang Yan was the main character in the book, and everything revolved around him. It was later revealed in the book that Fang Yan inherited that saintly inheritance as part of his destiny.

According to the narrative, Lu An was doomed to die at the hands of Fang Yan. Nonetheless, after he'd been transmigrated into the body of Lu An, he would not allow Fang Yan to kill him.

He didn't care about his guilty conscience for killing an innocent person. In a world where people kill each other over minor disagreements. He'd be killing someone who could become a threat to his life.

After he inherited the inheritance of that saint, there was no chance that Fang Yan would become a threat to him, but he didn't want to take any chances.

Andy's thoughts got disrupted when he heard the footsteps approaching him. His gaze drew towards the lady as a middle-aged man accompanied her.

This man was tall, had a mustache on his face, was dressed in a blue robe, and exuded a slightly different aura. There was no doubt about it: he was a cultivator.

Andy's gaze was drawn to the two approaching individuals. The man also cast a glance at the young man sitting in front of him. While he was aware of rumors about the Young Master of the Lu Family, the young man in front of him bore no resemblance to the dandy he had heard about.

The man smiled while clasping his hand.

"I'm Lin Juan, the Pavilion's manager. I heard you wanted to talk about something very important."

Andy nodded but did not get up from the couch as he gestured the man to sit.

It startled the man for a moment but sat opposite to Andy as he signaled the young woman to leave.

The woman exited the room quickly and closed the door behind her.

"I think she would have informed you about my request. Is that possible?" Andy said to the manager without a delay.

"I heard about it; we could certainly make that happen. However, it would be extremely expensive. Is the man you want to assassinate a cultivator?" The manager inquired.

"He's just a mortal like me," Andy said as he looked into the manager's eyes.

The man sighed in relief, and said, "Then it's fine. It would cost one hundred gold coins"

If Andy requested any cultivator to be killed, it would have created a problem for the Pavilion as they are certainly a pain in the ass.

Andy nodded, as he handed the coins to the Manager. After checking the coins, that manager looked at him and said,

"We have prepared a courtyard for you to relax in. I'll send someone to get the precise details."

After the manager left the room, a thin man led Andy to the courtyard.

The Pavilion appeared to have prepared a luxurious courtyard. After leading Andy to the courtyard, the man requested,

"The manager told me to get the details,"

Andy was taken aback for a moment when the man asked him. He quickly composed himself, however, and described Fang Yan in great detail.

The description of Fang Yan in the book stuck in his mind. He still remembers every word described of him.

The man left after obtaining the information. Andy was told that they would finish the work by tomorrow.

Andy took a quick shower and climbed into bed after that man left; he was exhausted from his long journey. He fell asleep within minutes of climbing into bed.

However, his sleep was disrupted by a loud knock on the door. As he gazed out the window, he noticed it was already dark.

When he opened the door, his gaze was drawn to the same skinny man holding a pouch.

Seeing Andy's perplexity, the man blurted.

"The task was not finished; the man you mentioned has been missing for three days. He was last seen entering the Mountain of Abyss three days ago."

When he heard the news, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His slumber was shattered as a loud yell flared up from his mouth.

"WHAT"
