Lin Feng glanced briefly at the entrance of the town before losing interest and walked straight in.

All the players assumed that Seven Heroes Town was full of ordinary people, but only he, who had watched "My Own Swordsman," knew that there were quite a few renowned figures here.

The Young Mistress of Dragon Gate Escort Agency, Tong Xiangyu; the Saint of Thieves, Bai Zhantang; Hero Guo's daughter, Guo Furong; the Hero of Guanzhong, Lü Qinghou; the Sect Leader of Mount Heng Sect, Mo Xiaobei; and the disciple of the God of Cookery from the Capital City, Li Dazui.

These characters were all famous figures, although Tong Xiangyu, Lü Qinghou, Mo Xiaobei, and Li Dazui didn't know martial arts.

However, the Saint of Thieves, Bai Zhantang, and Guo Furong were quite skilled.

Even though their martial arts weren't particularly impressive, in this level 30 novice map, they were already rare experts.

After all, this was just a novice map, and those so-called experts from prestigious sects might not be as formidable as them.

Of course, there were also true experts, like Gongsun Wulong and Hero Guo.

But they were elusive, and Lin Feng didn't know where to find them. It was better to look for opportunities nearby in Seven Heroes Town.

As he pondered, Lin Feng had already reached the center of the town when a robust voice called out beside him.

"Sir, come in and have a bite. Our head chef, Li Dazui, is a culinary master. Once you try our food, you'll never forget it!"

Following the voice, Lin Feng saw a long-haired man in a long gown with a white vest standing at the entrance of a shop named "Tongfu Inn," enthusiastically shouting to attract customers.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, handsome, yet he was humbly bowing and scraping at the door to attract customers. Judging by his expression, he didn't seem to feel the least bit humiliated; on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it.

With just one glance, Lin Feng immediately recognized who he was: White Jade Soup, now known as Bai Zhantang, the retired Saint of Thieves.

He had come here precisely for this person.

Seeing a customer approaching, the man's smile grew even brighter.

"Sir, are you here to stay or to dine?"

To the man's surprise, Lin Feng was neither here to stay nor to dine.

"Brother, could we have a word in private?"

Bai Zhantang looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled expression but still moved to a corner.

Several passing players saw Lin Feng talking with Bai Zhantang and burst into mocking laughter.

"This guy is obviously new here, wasting time talking to a mere waiter."

"Yeah, he clearly doesn't read the game guides. He thinks he can get a quest just because someone looks impressive."

Stolen novel; please report.

"I thought the same before, asked for ages, and got no quest."

"You're lucky. Some players even joined Tongfu Inn without pay, thinking it was a quest, only to find out after more than a month that the biggest task here was doing chores, and without pay, haha."

"Forget him, let's hurry to Eighteen Mile Village. Constable Xing is issuing quests there. If we're late, there won't be any left."

***

Lin Feng ignored the ridicule behind him, his clear eyes revealing the cunning of an old fox, making Bai Zhantang a bit uneasy.

"Little brother, if you have something to say, just say it. If not, I'll get back to work."

Lin Feng, unhurried, spoke softly with a faint smile, "I never expected the famous Saint of Thieves to hide his identity here and willingly work as a waiter."

Bai Zhantang's heart skipped a beat, a flash of shock and fear in his eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be the Saint of Thieves? I'm just a waiter. How could the Saint of Thieves do this kind of work? You're overthinking it, little brother."

"Oh, really? Then I'll just go to the yamen and have a chat with Magistrate Lou about whether you're the Saint of Thieves."

With that, Lin Feng turned to leave, and Bai Zhantang immediately grabbed him.

"Little brother, where did you get this information? Who exactly are you?"

Lin Feng remained calm on the surface, but inside, he was confident of his victory.

In this world, besides him, no player knew Bai Zhantang's true identity.

No one would ever associate him with the Saint of Thieves, so Bai Zhantang could always calmly hide his identity.

But Lin Feng, a transmigrator familiar with the identities of everyone in "My Own Swordsman," only needed to reveal his identity, and the guilty Bai Zhantang would naturally panic, for he truly was the Saint of Thieves.

Clearing his throat, Lin Feng stared intently at Bai Zhantang and sighed, "You want to know who I am? I can only tell you, I come from the Capital City, Department Six."

"Ha! Don't try to fool me. You're just a kid who can't even catch a chicken, claiming to be from Department Six in the Capital City. Who would believe that?"

Bai Zhantang wasn't easily deceived. He could tell at a glance that Lin Feng had no internal energy, clearly just an ordinary person.

Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry, instead, he chuckled, "Do I have to know martial arts to be from Department Six? Can't my father be from Department Six?"

"Your father?" Bai Zhantang was taken aback.

"That's right, my father took over the Saint of Thieves case. I'm helping him find clues. I never expected to find you here."

"Haha, how can you be sure I'm the Saint of Thieves? Even your father wouldn't know how you figured it out!"

"Oh, someone from the Capital City told me."

"Who?"

"Zhan! Hong! Ling!"

What!

Bai Zhantang's eyes widened, stunned. He could no longer afford to doubt.

After all, Lin Feng mentioning Zhan Hongling indicated he was indeed from Department Six in the Capital City. Moreover, if Zhan Hongling told him such things, this kid's father must have an extraordinary identity!

"Who... who is your father?" Bai Zhantang asked, trembling.

Lin Feng smiled smugly, pretending to be mysterious, "You want to know? He's currently in Eighteen Mile Village. Don't worry, I'll call him over, and you'll know his identity when you see him."

"No! No, no, no! Brother, no, Young Hero! Young Master! Young Lord!"

Bai Zhantang was almost in tears, holding Lin Feng's hand and begging for mercy.

"Young Hero, please don't arrest me. I've long retired from the martial world and turned over a new leaf. I haven't been the Saint of Thieves for many years. Please, for the sake of my reformation, spare me this once!"

"What's going on, Zhantang? What happened?"

"Old Bai, what's wrong? Why are you almost crying?"

"You don't need to act pitiful to attract customers. Our inn isn't about to close down, is it?"

Hearing the commotion outside, several people walked out of the inn, curiously asking.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over them, instantly recognizing their identities.

Guo Furong, Li Dazui, Tong Xiangyu, Scholar Lü.

There was no mistaking them; their features were too distinctive and easy to recognize. Besides, the online game guides also had information about them, making it hard not to recognize them.

Seeing everyone asking, Bai Zhantang, like finding a lifeline, whispered to them, "He knows I'm the Saint of Thieves. His father is from Department Six, here to arrest me. Boss, save me."

Ah!

The group was instantly shocked, while Lin Feng continued to maintain an enigmatic demeanor, his expression even more arrogant.

He dared to threaten Bai Zhantang, a martial arts expert, because he knew Bai Zhantang's temperament and character. He wouldn't kill him.

Moreover, they were now wary of his 'father,' so they wouldn't make a move.

This was the advantage of knowing the plot. Of course, this method was only suitable for dealing with good people. If it were a villain, he wouldn't dare to threaten like this; he would have been chopped into pieces long ago.

His current behavior was essentially bullying an honest person.

Though it was somewhat shameless.

But to quickly obtain martial arts secret manuals, this was the fastest way. Otherwise, why would anyone teach him martial arts for no reason?
