In the next three days, Lin Changqing brought the young part-timers to modify the courtyard during the day. In the next two days, he specially transplanted a few large trees, enveloping the entire courtyard in green shade.
There was a rockery, a small pond, plants, flowers, and stone slabs. The entire courtyard had become different.
Lin Changqing also cleaned and repaired the house from the inside out. He added brand new furniture and supplies. The modified house and courtyard were pleasing to the eye, finally giving Lin Changqing a sense of belonging to home.
Lin Changqing settled the accounts for the young men and dismissed this group of grateful youths. In the future, these youths would not have to worry about survival.
The purpose of Lin Changqing's modification of this courtyard was naturally not only to live comfortably. His true goal was to hide from the eyes and ears, mislead the public, take the initiative to dispel doubts, and so on.
With the trees blocking the small courtyard, Lin Changqing had more privacy and it was more convenient for him to do things. He no longer had to use all his strength to sense if anyone was paying attention to him.
There was a large number of green plants in the small courtyard, and [Thorn Vine] could blend in and move freely. It had the talent [Spiritual Energy Conversion] and had the effect of gathering spirit. When the conditions were ripe, it could help Lin Changqing and his pets cultivate the [Myriad Spirit Technique].
The defense of the [Thorn Vine] was very powerful, enough to protect the safety of the small courtyard. Even if its main body went out with Lin Changqing, the huge clone it left underground was not weak.
Then, Lin Changqing hired a group of outsiders to enter the courtyard and searched inside and out. He let those who did not pay much attention to Lin Changqing and the small courtyard to eliminate their doubts and stop staring at Lin Changqing and the small courtyard.
Lin Changqing could clearly sense that the number of people paying attention to him and the small courtyard had decreased by more than half. The group of young men had also told him that there were often people asking them some questions after they finished work.
This meant that Lin Changqing's actions were still effective.
As for those people who wanted to fight to the death with Lin Changqing, Lin Changqing would wait for the time to be ripe and completely end it with them.

In the dead of night, Lin Changqing would continue to bring his pets to the Land of Resentment to clean up the mutated creatures.
After the first night of cleaning up the periphery of the Land of Resentment, the number of mutated creatures had decreased a lot. The subsequent nights were not efficient.
Shuling did not suggest that Lin Changqing continue to go deeper into the Land of Resentment. It could sense the array formation that enveloped the Land of Resentment. It was divided into several layers. If he continued to go deeper, the danger would increase greatly.
If it did not take action, the risk was very high. If it took action rashly without understanding this array formation, it might destroy the array formation and cause unpredictable serious consequences.
Lin Changqing could only continue to bring his pets to the edge of the Land of Resentment to clean up the mutated creatures.
After a few days of fighting, Lin Changqing and his pets had reached the peak of the Advanced Force Refinement Realm. After a few more battles, they would be able to break through to the Strength Refinement Realm.
————————-
In these three days, Lin Changqing used the broken net to capture the spatial bag once a day, but he still failed.
The modification of the small courtyard was completed. Lin Changqing had spent a lot of money, and the knowledge that Shuling urgently needed could not be found anywhere. He was prepared to do the gang missions in the Knife Gang from today onwards, accumulate contribution points, and exchange for the various resources in the Knife Gang.
Lin Changqing reported to the gang's base, then went to the White Tiger Hall to see if there were any good missions to do. Before he could read a few mission introductions, a gang member came to look for him, saying that Manager Fan from the gang's base wanted to see him.
Manager Fan's full name was Fan Le'an. In this gang's base, he had a lot of power. He asked someone to look for Lin Changqing, so Lin Changqing had no choice but to go.
When Lin Changqing saw Fan Le'an again, Fan Le'an seemed to have forgotten about the murder of Leader Lu.
Fan Le'an said to Lin Changqing with a pleasant expression, "Changqing, you're familiar with Fengjia Town, right? I hear you've lived there for years?"
Lin Changqing recalled the memories of his predecessor. His predecessor had indeed struggled to survive in Fengjia Town for many years. "Manager, I've lived in Fengjia Town for a period of time, so I'm more familiar with that place. I haven't been back in many years. I think there have been many changes."
Lin Changqing was very wary of Fan Le'an and the Lu family. He could tell from Fan Le'an's current attitude that something bad was going to happen.
"It's fine as long as you're familiar with that place. There's a mission in the gang now. A large number of people have gone missing in a village under Fengjia Town recently. The villagers reported it to the government, and the government handed the mission to us and asked us to send people to investigate.
"I also know about your situation in White Tiger Hall. You've contributed a lot to the gang. You've tamed the wolfhound of the White Tiger Hall, which has the bloodline of the demon race. Its strength is comparable to the strongest leader of the gang.
"Changqing, you're familiar with the situation in Fengjia Town and have enough strength. You also have a tracking spiritual dog. You're the best candidate to carry out this investigation mission.
"Therefore, the gang has handed this mission to you. Please report the results of the investigation within seven days so that we can report it to the authorities to close the case." Fan Le'an handed the mission scroll to Lin Changqing, not allowing him to refuse at all.
"Yes, Manager. I'll get right on it!" Lin Changqing took the mission scroll and left.
As a mission arranged by Fan Le'an, Lin Changqing didn't want to do it at all, but he had no choice but to lower his head. Based on the actual situation, it was normal for the gang to assign tasks to its members. As long as it was not too obvious, they could not reject it.
One of the advantages of this kind of specific mission was that the gang would give out more contribution points.
Lin Changqing believed that there was no one more suitable than him in the entire gang for the task that Fan Le'an had arranged for him. Therefore, he did not want to be entangled with Fan Le'an. He took the mission and left immediately.
Lin Changqing came to the entrance of the White Tiger Hall. He thought for a moment and left without looking for Cheng Lihu.
Cheng Lihu could not go against the gang's rules. The mission Fan Le'an had arranged was reasonable, and there was nothing to be picky about. The only thing Cheng Lihu could do was to send someone to help Lin Changqing complete the mission.
Lin Changqing felt that other than Cheng Lihu personally going out, sending others to do missions with him would only be a hindrance and wouldn't be of much use. As the hallist, it was impossible for Cheng Lihu to accompany him on missions.
He was carrying out missions alone with his pets. When he encountered danger, it was easier for him to use his full strength.
Lin Changqing went to the business district again and bought some things that he could use when he went out. He also took out the flying dagger he had forged in the blacksmith shop.
The forging techniques in this world were advanced, and the blacksmith's skills were extraordinary. Lin Changqing's exquisite flying dagger, which he had spent a lot of money to forge, was worth it.
Lin Changqing had all his belongings on him. He did not return to the small courtyard. Instead, he left the county city and quickly rushed to Fengjia Town along the familiar road.
