《Sutra of Bian Que》


 C1

    At night, the moonlight was bright, illuminating the land.


    Zhang Lin Xuan stood on the hill with his sword raised.


    The evening breeze brushed against his thin face. The hair on his forehead fluttered with the wind, revealing his bright eyes.


    He was waiting for someone, someone who had caused him so much pain in the past twenty years.


    He wanted to end things here today.


    Suddenly, there was a burst of music. Four monks wearing monastic hats were lifting a sedan chair with a red cloth and golden edges to rise into the valley. They then gracefully stopped it on the hill opposite Zhang Linxuan.


    "Child, you really dare to keep your promise!" A voice that was as loud as a bell rang out from the other side, as if a strong gust of wind was blowing past. Zhang Linxuan felt a sharp pain in his ears as blood energy surged within his chest. Zhang Linxuan immediately used the "Mystery Mantra" that Taoist Iron Sword had imparted to him to adjust his breathing, using his Qi to resist.


    "Grandmaster Tian Chan has good inner strength, your Demonic Sound God''s Cry is indeed powerful!" But I''m not afraid of you either! " Zhang Jingxuan smiled.


    Grandmaster Tian Chan''s hearing was also quite astonishing. Zhang Lin Xuan was at least a thousand feet away from him, yet he could hear every word clearly.


    "As expected, a young hero comes out. Back then, even your father Zhang Fu Quan had to cover his ears when he heard my Demon note. If it wasn''t for the , I wouldn''t even want to kill you! "


    "Cut the crap. Let''s get to know the grudge between us for killing our father!"


    Zhang Linxuan pulled out his Clear Brilliance Sword and displayed ''Meteor Chasing Moon'' as he leapt high into the air, thrusting towards Grandmaster Tian Chan''s palanquin.


    Grandmaster Tian Chan sat in his sedan, the sedan''s curtain constantly flapping in and out as it was blown by the sword qi.


    He used both of his hands to force his hands to reach out towards his chest. The buddhist beads in his hands transformed into countless stars. Through the curtain of the sedan chair, they directly rushed towards Zhang Lin Xuan.


    In an instant, Zhang Linxuan saw dozens of specks of light accompanied by a strong gust of wind rush towards him, and he hurriedly brandished his sword and used the ''Meteor Shower''. After a burst of sparks, Zhang Linxuan was completely unscathed, and he immediately used ''Cloud Trace'', turning around in the air and swinging his sword towards the sedan.


    When Grandmaster Tian Chan saw this scene, he inwardly exclaimed that this was not good. He hastily waved both of his arms and used "Great Slaughter in all directions", causing a white light to erupt. The golden red cloth sedan was shattered by his inner force, and even the four vassal lords were not spared, their heads and torsos flying everywhere.


    Zhang Linxuan, who was about to reach the sedan chair, was shaken by the inner force of the array formation until he was like a broken kite, falling straight down the cliff.


    At this moment, Zhang Lin Xuan''s mind was in a state of shock, and his ears were ringing. Looking at the cliff in front of him, he picked up the Light Wind Sword and made his final move, using all of his strength to pierce into the cliff, which was covered with rocks.


    Sparks flew in all directions as the sword broke into several pieces. Zhang Linxuan once again fell into the bottomless abyss.


    The first ray of sunlight in the morning was like golden threads in the sky. It was exceptionally bright, and the quiet valley immediately became filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers.


    Huang''er led the horse along the rugged mountain path, looking at the quiet and serene scenery of the valley with great joy.


    The woman''s natural love for beauty made her stop. She tied the horse to a tree and walked to the roadside where there were wild flowers to pick the flowers. She immediately saw a light blue yellow stamen flower. She gently plucked it and placed it at the tip of her nose to smell it. In that instant, a fragrance unique to wild flowers filled her nose, causing her to exclaim, "So fragrant!"


    The scene before her caused her to be overjoyed. All the fatigue from the journey that she had gone through had now been swept away. She lay in the sea of flowers, watching the fluttering butterflies, listening to the droning sound of the bees'' hard work, and the gentle cry of the birds coming from the trees on both sides of the mountain road.


    Suddenly, a scholarly young man appeared before Huang''er''s eyes. The girl''s vigilance made her suddenly stand up, her almond-shaped eyes looked up, pretending to be calm as she asked: "Who are you? "Why are you sneaking behind people''s backs?!"


    Wearing a crown on his head and a long white silk robe with a jade belt tied around his waist, the young man held a folding fan in his hand and revealed a faint smile on his face. Looking at Huang''er''s handsome face, he said lightly, "Please do not be angry, Miss.


    Huang''er saw that this man was so good-looking and spoke some dirty words. She could not help but shout, "Look at you, you''re a genius, yet you can''t say such things. Do you think I''m a girl that can be bullied?"


    "I dare not, dare not. I, Mu Rong Feng, do not have any disrespectful thoughts towards this young lady. I only admire your looks! " The scholar quickly bowed in apology, but his eyes were still fixated on Huang''er''s face. The evil smile on his face didn''t fade in the slightest.


    Seeing the evil smile on his face, Huang''er knew that he had a bellyful of evil tricks up his sleeve, so she stopped talking to him. Her delicate body leaped up and landed in front of the horse. She took the sword from the horse and drew it with a swoosh. The blade of the sword shook and she shouted loudly: "Would-mouth bastard, let''s see how this lady will get rid of a disaster like you!"


    Seeing that Huang''er was serious, Murong Fengyi didn''t move at all. He lightly clapped his hands, but still sloppily said: "Beautiful woman, good technique! Even your anger is so beautiful! "


    Seeing that he was still as frivolous as ever, Huang''er could not tolerate him any longer. She held her sword technique and used "Liu Xu Wandering" to stab towards Murong Feng. This move seemed to be aimless, but it was actually filled with killing intent.


    However, just as the sword was about to touch his body, Murong Feng suddenly moved a foot to the right. Huang''er saw that the stab missed and quickly turned into a slice, slicing towards the back.


    Seeing the blade of the sword coming towards him, Murong Feng remained unmoved. He picked up the paper fan and gave it a knock, causing a buzzing sound. Huang''er felt a strong force push her back and almost fell to the ground.


    Mu Rong Feng still stood there with an evil smile on his face. With a ''shua'' sound, he opened up the fan, waved it and said, "Now that we have competed, what do you think of my skill, you beauty!? Do you want to try again?! "


    Huang''er was infuriated. She had never been humiliated like this before. She said in a stern voice: "I won by a fluke, yet you are still so happy. I will let you experience my true power!" Huang''er''s hand went from low to high, slowly raising her sword. She turned to her side and slowly raised the sword''s edge, using "A life and death moment". Immediately, a thin crack appeared on the ground, heading straight towards Murong Feng, rapidly spreading out.


    The smile on Murong Feng''s face instantly disappeared. He suddenly understood in his heart: Destroying Sword Technique!? Seeing that the situation wasn''t looking good, Murong Feng immediately jumped off the ground and landed thirty meters away. He turned the fan in his hand and smiled as he said to Huang''er: "This one will take my leave first!" I''ll see you again! "


    Huang''er looked at the back view of Murong Feng and said indignantly: "You sure ran fast!"

 C2

    On Lin An''s street, a young man dressed in white stood before the door of the "Soft Fragrance Pavilion". After looking at the signboard, he directly entered.


    He walked into the hall and called out to a turtle, "Call your bawd over here!" Then he found a place to sit down and leisurely looked at the beautiful person walking past him.


    "Sir Murong!" You are such a rare sight! You haven''t come to our Soft Fragrance Pavilion for quite a while! " After a while, the old procuress came down the stairs. When she saw the young man in white, she hurriedly greeted him.


    Murong Feng quickly stood up and saluted back, "Thank you mother for your concern! This one is very well! "


    The old procuress looked around and pretended to shout, "I wonder which lady has caught Young Master Murong''s eye today, I''ll definitely introduce her to you!" He then leaned forward and whispered, "There are too many people here, let''s talk in my room!"


    Murong Feng followed the old procuress into the room. The old procuress served him some tea and asked, "Cat, have you heard anything from the martial arts world recently? The boss got someone to deliver a message, saying that he wants us to ask about a strange martial arts book, what''s called the¡¶ Bian Que of the Heart¡·?! "


    Mu Rong Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip, smacking his lips as he glanced at her, and said: "Two days ago, when I was passing Chenzhou, I heard someone mention that Bian Que was actually a famous doctor from the Spring and Autumn War Country. His surname was Qin, his name was slow, and his calligraphy was slow, but because his medical book was superb, he gave him the name of a Fairy Doctor from the Yellow Emperor''s era. Qin Slow''s medical skills were outstanding, he was proficient in all subjects, and he had scouted three subjects. The people all knew that he had written and , in fact, before he was assassinated, he was still in the process of writing another strange book called . This book was later acquired by a man named Wu Lin Qi, who studied it for several years before using his martial arts skills to re-write the . It was rumored that the martial arts techniques recorded in this book were truly marvelous. After mastering it, one could pluck objects from the air, walk through mountains and rivers as if they were walking on flat ground, and the remnants could be regenerated. Some people even said that the current Empress Xie was guided by an expert to use the techniques from the to allow her to sit on the throne of the Empress. Every time this reappears, the martial arts world would definitely stir up a storm of blood! "It seems like the world is going to change!"


    After the old procuress heard this, she said, "The people of this world cannot escape fame and fortune!"


    Seeing that Murong Feng had left, Huang''er lost her mood to admire the flowers. She turned around and got on her horse, preparing to set off for Lin An. Suddenly from the woods came the sound of breaking branches and a heavy object falling, followed by a faint groan.


    Huang''er immediately rushed over and saw a thin and weak youth with bloodstains all over his body lying on the ground, shouting in a hoarse voice, "Water! "Water!" After saying that, he immediately fainted!


    Huang''er immediately dismounted and went to check, then took the water bag and a pill from the horse''s back. She held his head and fed him some water before taking it. She then found a flat ground for him to lie on and took care of him, planning to wait for the youth to wake up before leaving.


    In less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, the youth slightly opened his eyes. He saw a delicate and pretty girl sitting on the ground with her hands on her knees, gazing into the distance.


    "Auntie." "Mom!" Zhang Lin Xuan raised his hand and called out.


    Seeing that Zhang Lin had woken up, Huang''er got up and walked over, squatting down as she said, "Young master, you''ve woken up. I''ll go get you something to eat!"


    Zhang Linxuan said with gratitude, "I thank Miss for saving me!"


    Seeing that he was about to get up to thank her, Huang''er quickly stopped him and said: "We are all children of the martial arts world. "Lie down and rest. I''ll go get some rations for you!"


    She brought out dry rations. It was likely that Zhang Lin Xuan hadn''t eaten for the entire night, and with the physical exertion of his wounds just now, he had wolfed down his food. It was only when he was halfway through that he remembered that he had been rude to an outsider.


    Seeing that he had eaten half of it, Huang''er suddenly stopped and asked: "Did you choke?! "Come, I have water here!" Thus, he passed the water bag to Zhang Lin Xuan.


    Zhang Linxuan received the water bag and nodded his head to thank her. He cupped his hands across his chest and said, "I have yet to ask for Miss''s name. I wonder if you can tell me your name? I will definitely report you one day!"


    Huang''er saw his serious manner and could not help but smile. She also cupped her hands and said, "Again, Huang''er. May I have your name, sir?"


    When she finished speaking, she felt that she had been too negligent. Didn''t he just say that his surname was Zhang!? Instantly, her face flushed, and she turned her head to smile.


    Zhang Lin Xuan quickly said, "It''s not a problem, it''s not a problem!" Miss, there is no need for you to worry. Next is Zhang Lin Xuan. Thank you for saving my life! I wonder how did this young lady manage to get here?! "


    Huang''er stood up and looked at Zhang Linxuan''s injuries. She said, "I was about to rush to Northface City. I wonder how young master fell off that tree?!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan had fought with Grandmaster Tian Chan last night and had fallen into the valley. Fortunately, he had fainted on the thick branch of this old tree, and fortunately, she had found out that Grandmaster Tian Chan had killed his father, as well as his intentions in wanting the ''Flat Magpie Heart Sutra''.


    "Grandmaster Tian Chan is truly a Grandmaster. To bully the weak, isn''t he afraid of ridicule from the rest of the martial arts world?" Huang''er said angrily after hearing this.


    Zhang Linxuan said, "In the martial world today, the human heart is not the same as it was in the past. His name and interests made people crazy. Sometimes, he would not even let his relatives go! "For example, for people like Grandmaster Tian Chan, there are many like the crucian carp in the martial arts world. It''s just that some people have probably hidden it a little deeper!"


    Huang''er sighed and said: "I didn''t expect you to see through all of this at your age. Aren''t you being too sentimental?"


    As the two of them spoke, Zhang Lin Xuan could faintly hear the sounds of fighting from afar. Zhang Lin Xuan immediately pulled Huang''er up a large tree.


    Not long after, Grandmaster Tian Chan, who was wearing a dark red monk robe, stepped on a branch and with a few leaps, disappeared into the distance. Next, a man in black followed closely behind with a saber in his hand.


    After the two of them had left, Zhang Lin Xuan and Huang''er descended from the tree.


    Huang''er asked, "Where do you plan to go next?"


    Zhang Lin Xuan said, "When I heard that Miss Lin An was about to go, I was also about to go find an old friend of mine. I wonder if Miss Lin would be so convenient?!"


    Huang''er said, "Yes! It would only take half a day to get here! You and I are travelling together, so we can be companions. Very good! "


    As soon as the two met, Huang''er packed up her luggage, then led her horse and chatted with Zhang Lin Xuan for some time as they made their way to Northface City.

 C3

    By the time Zhang Lin Xuan and Huang''er arrived at Lin An City, the lanterns had already been lit.


    The two of them led the horses through the bustling crowd. Huang''er looked at the bustling night scenery and the dancing and singing citizens of Linan and sighed. "The Mongolian people are slaughtering people within Song territory, and the people in the capital are still living a life of drunkenness and sleep. This is not like a merchant girl who doesn''t know her country''s hatred. The people should know their country''s hatred, and calmly sing ''Courtyard Flowers''!"


    Zhang Linxuan said, "Miss Huang is truly a chivalrous person. I admire you for worrying about the nation!" But now, as the times went on, the imperial court was in danger and could only beg for peace and make amends. The Son of Heaven was willing to serve as a puppet, indulging in matters of the heart, paying no heed to the political affairs of the court, and allowing the powerful minister, Shi Mi Yuan, to do whatever he wanted. Speaking of Shi Mi, you sure are good at bullying the common people! "


    Huang''er said worriedly, "No wonder the citizens are getting drunk today. Sigh, at this moment, the Great Song Dynasty is facing a similar crisis and was defeated by these incompetent dog officials!"


    The two of them chatted about current affairs as they walked. When they arrived at a restaurant, they saw a pair of father and daughter who were selling songs. They were standing by the door and begging the shopkeeper for help.


    The shopkeeper''s face was filled with impatience as he continuously chased them away.


    "Hurry up and go, stand by the door like a bereaved star! "Don''t block my way to do business!" The boss said.


    The woman hugged her lute and said with a bitter face, "Boss, please, we just need to go for a walk. If no one asks us to sing a small song, we can leave immediately, okay?"


    The old man kept bowing to the shopkeeper and kept saying, "Boss, please do me a favor! "Nice to meet you, Boss!"


    "Sigh, it seems like it won''t be easy for all of you. Fine, fine, we can only take a walk and not disturb others from eating. The people eating here are either rich or noble!" The shopkeeper went soft on the inside and kept reminding her.


    The woman kept thanking him, and then supported the old man into the room.


    Zhang Lin Xuan and Huang''er walked into the restaurant. They found a table and sat down, ordering some dishes and wine. As he was waiting for the dishes to arrive, he heard a burst of teasing and screams from the ladies upstairs. He then heard the old man shouting hysterically, "I''ll kill you all!"


    The head storekeeper repeatedly said, "Not good, something big is going to happen!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan and Huang''er followed him upstairs. They saw the old man lying on the floor beside the table. The singing woman was so frightened that she collapsed onto the floor, her face pale.


    The one who hit him was a man in a vassal uniform. He contemptuously said, "This old man is too weak, I just lightly touched him, and that''s all. Everyone said they want to swindle me?!" His accomplices chimed in, "That''s right, that''s right! "You should ask around, are our Nanny Mo''s people that easy to provoke?!" With that, he left.


    The surrounding people whispered, but no one dared to help, they could only curse, "God damn the Mosha Faction, if they do all sorts of evil deeds, they will get their retribution sooner or later!"


    Just as Zhang Lin Xuan was about to step forward and stop the group of depraved people from the Mosha Faction, he was stopped by Huang''er, who shook her head at him.


    The shopkeeper sighed, "Hey, I told you not to come in, but you guys insisted on coming in. Look at it now, is something wrong?"


    The woman slowly regained her senses. She saw the old man lying on the side and couldn''t stop crying.


    Huang''er stepped forward and comforted the girl, "Miss, please find an old man a doctor!"


    The woman wailed, "Daddy and I just came from our hometown yesterday. We were wondering how much money we could earn from singing in the capital. We didn''t know that we would encounter such a situation today." After he finished speaking, he hugged his head and cried.


    After Huang''er heard what had happened, she took out a silver ingot from her waist and gave it to her, saying, "Take it, Miss. Go and see your father!"


    The woman stood up and quickly thanked him, then knelt down and kowtowed again. Huang''er hurriedly went to stop him.


    Thus, Zhang Lin Xuan helped the old man and the storekeeper rushed over to help him up. Everyone sent the old man to a nearby hospital for treatment. After the doctor checked his pulse, he said, "This old man has suffered slight internal injuries. He should be able to get some medicine and recuperate!" When the woman heard about her father''s illness, she cried and Huang''er went to comfort her. The woman became dejected once again. She complained about her own life and about the injustice the heavens had done to her. She was miserable and miserable as she sobbed and sobbed.


    It took Huang''er half a day to calm her down. He then paid for a month''s rent in an inn on the street, and the woman thanked him profusely for his kindness. She wanted to know Huang''er''s name, so she could repay her kindness in the future.


    Because Huang''er had matters to attend to at Lin An, she bid farewell to Zhang Lin Xuan and left in a hurry. As she left, she reminded Zhang Lin Xuan to take care of the father and daughter pair tonight.


    After Zhang Lin Xuan and Huang''er parted ways, he arranged a room for the father and daughter to stay in. The strain of the day''s journey, combined with his physical condition, soon made him go to sleep.


    Zhang Linxuan slept until midnight. Suddenly, he heard the sound of someone poking at a window. Zhang Lin Xuan immediately focused and closed his eyes, continuing to pretend that he didn''t know anything.


    Sure enough, someone held a blow-pipe and blew the incense into it.


    A moment later, the sound of the latch being wrenched could be heard. Then, someone crept up to Zhang Linxuan''s bed and saw him sleeping soundly, gently taking out a steel knife from behind him.


    Zhang Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. He saw a black-clothed man raising his saber to slash down on him. Then, he kicked at the black-clothed man''s abdomen.


    When the black-clothed man saw that Zhang Lin Xuan was still awake, he immediately flipped backwards, dodging Zhang Lin Xuan''s kick. When Zhang Linxuan saw this kick flying through the air, he hurriedly got up and sent out a "Breaking Mountain" attack. When the black-clothed man saw this palm strike, he did not dare to meet it head on and instead flipped to the side, dodging the attack.


    Zhang Linxuan saw that this person''s saber technique relied on brute force and his techniques were strange. He didn''t seem to be part of any of the factions in the Central Plains. Thus, he calmed down and began waving his palms to tangle with him.


    In less than ten moves, the man in black had already lost. Thus, Zhang Linxuan''s palm struck Lin Ming''s right wrist. The saber of the black-clothed man was jolted away and he fell to the ground.


    The black-clothed man saw that his defeat had been decided, so he turned around and fled.


    As soon as Zhang Linxuan saw that he was an expert, he prepared to meet him head on and fight. However, he heard the cry for help from the father and daughter pair in the room next door. While he was distracted, he saw another black-clothed man pull up the black-clothed man who had been fighting with Zhang Lin Xuan. He then disappeared into the distance like a wisp of smoke.


    Zhang Linxuan hurriedly ran into the room next door. There was no sound, only silence. There was no trace of the woman. The old man was lying motionlessly on the bed. Zhang Lin Xuan looked at his surroundings and then lit a candle. As he looked at the scene in front of him, he sucked in a breath of cold air.

 C4

    The old man was lying on the bed, his mouth was covered by a cloth, his eyes were gouged out, his body had been cut several times, and his intestines were already flowing out.


    As Zhang Lin Xuan saw this miserable state, he nearly vomited. Just as he was about to move forward to take a look, he suddenly heard a voice from the rooftop. "Brother Zhang, don''t panic. Follow me!"


    As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan heard this, he knew it was Murong Feng, the "Flying Leopard Cat". He opened the window and jumped onto the roof. Under the moonlight, he saw a white figure. With a few leaps, Murong Feng was already more than 1000 feet away.


    Zhang Lin Xuan hurriedly executed his Qing Gong and leapt into the air, chasing after her.


    Just as he was about to leave Lin An city, Zhang Lin Xuan saw Murong Feng waiting for him.


    He quickly went up to Mu Rong and asked, "Brother Mu Rong, where is he?!"


    Murong Feng waved his fan, pointed at Zhang Linxuan, and said, "Little brother, we haven''t seen each other for a long time, and yet you''re asking me for someone the moment you see me. You''ve truly disappointed this brother!"


    Seeing him act in such a casual manner, Zhang Lin Xuan was suddenly enlightened. He smiled and said, "Oh, could it be that Brother Murong already knows where they are?!" Hurry up and tell this little brother, that I can go and save that woman! "


    "Hmph, you''re going to save her?!" Murong Feng laughed coldly.


    "It''s more like I''m here to save you!" He took the fan and pointed at Zhang Lin Xuan as he spoke.


    Zhang Lin Xuan was startled and asked, "Brother Murong, why do you say that?!"


    Seeing the puzzled look on Zhang Lin Xuan''s face, Murong Feng waved his fan and sighed, "At this very moment, a wine and wine at night is truly a wonderful thing!"


    Zhang Linxuan could tell from his expression that he must have been addicted to alcohol.


    The two things that his brother liked the most were fine wine and beautiful women! Everyone who knew him knew that if there was anything that needed his help, there would be wine first.


    But at this late hour, where could he get any wine for this drunkard to drink?!


    Zhang Lin Xuan quickly went up to stop him, begging for mercy, "If it were any other time, I would''ve obeyed you. But it''s already so late, where can I go to find you some wine?!"


    Murong Feng purposely ignored him, looking casually into the distance as he said sinisterly, "That will depend on whether or not some people have good intentions!"


    Zhang Linxuan knew that Lin Ming was talking about him, and thought to himself, ''If I meet this good brother of mine, I should consider myself unlucky!'' She quickly pulled his hand and said, "Yes, full of sincerity!"


    When Murong Feng heard Zhang Linxuan''s words, he immediately became spirited. He excitedly said, "I know of a place that definitely has good wine and beautiful women! Beautiful wine and beautiful women, it really is a perfect match! " As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together in excitement. As he saw Zhang Lin Xuan still standing there without moving, his anger flared up and he used his fan to prod him. He grit his teeth and said, "Let''s go, you''re just like a log that''s not moving at all. Why would I become sworn brothers with you!"


    After he finished speaking, he used the movement technique and floated a few dozen feet away. As Zhang Lin Xuan saw Lin Ming''s shadow closely follow behind him, he shouted out, "Brother Murong, I''ve come to find you this time because I have something to ask you!" Murong Feng said from a distance: "If you have anything to say, then drink it first!" Then, he could hear him grumbling, "Hey, why is it so slow?!"


    Murong Feng, the nickname given by the martial arts people was "Flying Leopard Cat"! This nickname was not for nothing. His lightness skills were first-rate. In the martial arts world, those who were faster than him were not more than one palm. That day when he was sparring with He Daoqing, the eldest disciple of the Karakorum Clan, he didn''t even touch the hem of his clothes. Afterwards, He Daoqing was punished by the Sect Leader at the back of the mountain for three years before being released by the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sect. Hearing that He Daqing was searching for his opponent, he decided to compete with Murong Feng again.


    Zhang Lin Xuan struggled to catch up to Murong Feng. Finally, he was able to see him in the time it took to make a cup of tea. Zhang Lin Xuan panted as he approached. Murong Feng looked at him with disdain. He pointed with his fan and asked, "Brother Zhang, what do you think of this place?"


    Zhang Linxuan looked up and saw that the sign had the words "East Flowers Sect" written on it. Guards with heavy armors were standing at the door, with patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time.


    At this moment, Zhang Lin Xuan came to a realization: Oh, so this drunkard wanted to go to the Imperial Palace to secretly drink some wine.


    Then, as if nothing had happened, he said, "Great! But I don''t care if someone gets drunk, I''ll definitely slip away first! "


    Murong Feng said, "Don''t worry, you won''t be able to catch me with these rice bags filled with wine! Cut the crap, why don''t we go up?! "


    With that, he leapt up onto the city wall. Zhang Linxuan smiled and shook his head before following him up the city wall.


    The two of them landed on a fake mountain. Zhang Lin Xuan was about to ask how he knew where the wine cellar was when Murong Feng pulled him to a corner and gestured for him to keep his mouth shut. A group of soldiers marched past them in a neat formation.


    After the soldiers had left, Murong Feng stood up and walked out. He looked around and beckoned to Zhang Lin Xuan. Zhang Lin Xuan hastily went up to greet him. Murong Feng whispered to him, "Just follow me!"


    They tiptoed across a long bridge. When they were about to reach the end of the bridge, they suddenly heard the sound of a woman''s voice. Murong Feng hurriedly pointed to Zhang Lin Xuan under the bridge, and Zhang Lin Xuan nodded his head.


    At this moment, two ladies dressed like palace maids walked over. One of them was carrying a lantern while the other was carrying a tray with a few dishes and a bottle of wine as he walked towards Zhang Linxuan and the others.


    The two of them hurriedly jumped under the bridge.


    The sound of the two palace maids stepping on the deck was exceptionally distinct in this silent night. A palace maid said softly, "When I saw Imperial Physician Wang taking the empress''s pulse, my face was filled with terror. Did His Majesty ask if the empress''s illness could be cured? He said that unless he could find a medical book that was rumored to be from Jiang Hu, even Hua Tuo would not be able to do anything about it! " He then heard another palace maid laugh, "If Hua Tuo can''t do it, then let''s find a small magpie!" The first palace maid to speak said: "You are right, you are looking for this ! "So the Emperor sent them."


    As the two ladies crossed the bridge, their voices became indistinct. Murong Feng wanted to get up and chase after the two palace maids so that he could find out who the emperor had sent to search for the . Murong Feng patted him and scolded softly, "Wood, what are you thinking about?!"


    Zhang Linxuan snapped out of his daze and said, "It''s nothing, I was distracted!"


    After the two of them returned to the surface of the bridge, Murong Feng brought Zhang Lin Xuan and stealthily made their way to the inner palace.

 C5

    Along the way, the two of them saw many imperial guards. The interior was complex, and there were countless bridges and pavilions. The two of them were also afraid of attracting the imperial guards'' attention, so they suffered greatly.


    After finally finding the imperial kitchen, Murong Feng saw that the emperor hadn''t touched many things, so he scolded in a low voice, "The people outside are living a life of suffering. The emperor is still living a luxurious life here, wasting so much food. This is outrageous!" He picked up a roasted goose and began to eat.


    As Zhang Lin Xuan saw Murong Feng acting this way, he thought to himself that since he had already entered, he didn''t bother asking anymore. He picked up a plate of food and started eating.


    Murong Feng took two bites, wiped his mouth and said, "How can we drink without wine?" He then walked out of the room and called out to Zhang Linxuan, "Brother, I''ll go find a few jars of Imperial Wine. I''ll be right back!"


    Zhang Linxuan''s mouth was filled with food that he had yet to vomit. He nodded and humphed, before continuing to stuff more food into his mouth.


    After a while, Mu Rong Feng walked in proudly with a jar of wine in his hand. His eyes were filled with self-satisfaction.


    He placed the wine carefully on the table, picked up the goose he had just eaten, and began to eat and drink again. He took a bite of the roast goose, then lifted the jar of wine, opened the seal, and lifted his neck to take a bite. How comfortable! As Zhang Lin Xuan saw Lin Ming''s expression, he thought to himself: It looks like tonight I''ll be sleeping in a drunken stupor!


    Sure enough, Murong Feng was already drunk! He started to ask loudly, "Brother Zhang, have you enjoyed your drinking tonight?" Zhang Lin Xuan knew that Lin Ming was almost drunk and hadn''t spoken to him. He smiled to himself and said, "Based on the tone in his voice, the imperial guards will definitely come to check on the situation in no time at all."


    Murong Feng picked up the jar and continued talking to himself. "What do I still feel like missing? Let me think, I''ve got good wine and good cuisines. Oh, I remember now, I still need beauties?!" Then she would be all by herself, giggling foolishly.


    Zhang Lin Xuan rubbed his stomach. He couldn''t keep it up any longer. He laid down on the side and said in a soft voice, "Brother Murong, be careful. Don''t attract the imperial guards outside!"


    Murong Feng took a sip, let out a burp, and said leisurely: "What the hell is the Imperial guards? Kill them one by one, and you and I can drink here without worry." Tonight, we are the emperor''s men! Shall we drink our wine and go watch the beauties?! "


    As Zhang Lin Xuan saw Lin Ming''s words, he secretly complained in his heart. And then he thought, [There are a few chances to get to the inner palace in my lifetime. I might as well get drunk and make a ruckus!]


    Then, he snatched the wine jar that Murong Feng had not finished and finished it in one gulp! Murong Feng opened his drunken eyes and saw that the jar of wine had been taken away by Zhang Lin Xuan. "As he raised his head to scold Zhang Linxuan, he saw that this boy had picked up the jar of wine and gulped down half of it down in a single gulp. Murong Feng clapped his hands in joy and laughed heartily. How did you figure it out, brat? I can''t tell that alcohol is pretty good! "


    It''s so hard to learn. From the moment Zhang Linxuan had let go of all pretenses to drink, the two of them had truly treated each other as if they were home and played around with each other. After a while, heavy footsteps could be heard from outside.


    As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan heard this, he was done for! This was a sign that the imperial guards were coming to capture them! Then he heard a deep voice say, "You must catch him alive!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan looked at Murong Feng. He had actually fallen asleep with half of the pig''s elbow in his hand! Zhang Lin Xuan understood. If he didn''t think of a way to leave now, he was afraid that he would have to wait for the imperial guards to come in and capture him! As a result, he pulled Murong Feng onto his shoulder and rushed towards the window. With a loud ''bang'', the entire window was smashed into smithereens, and the two of them fell heavily onto the ground. Murong Feng did not make a sound, and while drunk, he probably did not feel any pain.


    When the soldiers who had rushed over saw that the assassin had disappeared, they shouted, "The assassin has run away! Be on guard!" For a moment, the whole house was filled with the sound of "the assassin has run away. Pay attention and be on the alert".


    In a short while, all the imperial guards had assembled, and each of the courtyards had doubled their strength. As Zhang Lin Xuan saw how ready they were to fight, he couldn''t help but laugh to himself in his heart!


    On the roof, the cool breeze was blowing gently. After the cool night wind blew, Murong Feng''s wine slowly woke up. The sky was starting to turn white.


    Murong Feng woke up. He looked down at the bustling soldiers, then looked up at the sky and said: "It seems that we won''t be able to leave today. We need to find a place to sleep for the night and leave the inner palace tonight!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan asked, "It''s almost dawn. You have to hurry up and think about it, otherwise the arrows of the imperial guards will not be useless!"


    Murong Feng smiled and said, "I will definitely do what I promised you! "Now, I''ll take you to see a beauty!" Then, he stood up, pointed at the manor that had the most strict protection, and said: "Let''s go, I''ll bring you to live the life of a deity!"


    As he said this, his feet pushed off the ground and he made a detour towards the mansion that they were most curious about.


    At this time, Song Lianzong was already standing in the great hall, pacing back and forth as he scolded loudly: "How dare you! You even dare to barge into the palace! You must capture the assassin alive! I have to dismember his body to serve as an example! " He then pointed at the general who was standing to one side and reported, "What are you all doing? We are the imperial guards of a hundred thousand men. How can we allow a small thief to come and go as he pleases?" Then he turned to an eunuch beside him and said, "Dong Aoqing, go and check on Princess Jia and see if she''s all right." The eunuch answered and hurried out the door.


    At this moment, a well-dressed old man in his sixties entered the room. He did not kneel down and shout "Long live the Lord!" He cupped his hands and said, "This old man has heard that your wife is causing trouble and can''t sleep at night. I have come to check on you.


    Li Zong walked down the steps, held the old man''s hand and said respectfully, "I''m really sorry for troubling you, my dear father. Please go back and rest quickly!"


    The old man didn''t hold back and left after cupping his hands together. He left the hall, walked outside, and said a few words to a high-ranking officer beside him before leaving in a hurry!


    At this moment, Zhang Lin Xuan and Mu Rong Feng were leaning against the roof while watching from the sidelines. After the old man left, Murong Feng whispered in Zhang Lin Xuan''s ear, "This is the official that everyone is scolding, Shi Mi Sheng!"


    After the old man left, Song Lizong was so angry that he pounded the writing desk with his hand. Then he said bitterly, "What I''ve lost must be reclaimed thousands and thousands of times!"


    At this moment, a young man in gorgeous clothes came in with a cricket cage in his hand.

 C6

    There was no place for him to vent his anger. Now, an unlucky fellow had appeared! He patted the paper and shouted: "Jia Ruidao, what standard of conduct do you have? Face-lord, you actually dare to lift a cage bird, do you not know your sin?! "


    When Jia Ruidao saw Long Yan''s anger, he quickly put down the cricket cage and knelt down, kowtowing and begging for mercy.


    Li Zong said, "On the account of you being muddle-headed and being the noble uncle of the country, I''ll remember this debt first. The next time you commit a crime, I''ll punish you severely!"


    Jia Ruidao kowtowed like a chick pecking rice. He seemed to have forgotten what he had come here for as he walked away dejectedly.


    Seeing this hilarious scene, Zhang Linxuan almost laughed out loud.


    Murong Feng, who was standing to the side, clapped his hands while holding a fan. However, his eyes remained unmoving, as if he was in a trance.


    Zhang Lin Xuan was also sitting off to the side, bored. He couldn''t help but let out a yawn! Murong Feng quickly used his hand to cover his mouth, almost choking Zhang Lin Xuan to death. Murong Feng glared at Zhang Lin Xuan and pointed at a corner of the rafters. Then, he walked over to the rafters and laid down with his eyes closed. He was actually sleeping!


    Zhang Linxuan looked at him and shook his head helplessly. He lowered his head and saw that the emperor was reading a book. The maids on both sides of him were also standing there motionlessly. There probably wasn''t much to see in a short period of time. It would be better to find a place to rest and slip out of the house at night. Thus, he found a piece of citron tree opposite of Murong Feng and fell asleep.


    As Zhang Lin Xuan was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt someone prodding him with something. He quickly stood up and struck out with his palm. Murong Feng knew that this kid wasn''t awake yet and thought that someone was ambushing him. Thus, he picked up the fan and tapped it against Zhang Lin Xuan. Then, he softly said, "Are you awake yet?!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan blinked, and Murong Feng opened up his acupuncture points, then pointed downwards.


    Zhang Lin Xuan looked down. The lights were already on in the Imperial Palace. When he looked outside, he could see that it was almost dark. This was a really dark sleep.


    At this moment, the emperor was pacing up and down with his hands behind his back, occasionally glancing outside as if he were waiting for someone.


    "Do you know who he''s waiting for?" Murong Feng asked Zhang Linxuan in a soft voice.


    Zhang Linxuan was surprised for a moment. Then, he asked, "Who is he waiting for?"


    Murong Feng couldn''t help but chuckle, "She''s a beauty!"


    Zhang Linxuan said, "Waiting for a beauty is very normal. What are you laughing about?"


    "You''ll know when the beauty comes!" Murong Feng bought it intentionally.


    The night was darkening. The Emperor was still waiting for the beauty to arrive, but he was sitting on the Dragon Throne, feeling restless and restless.


    Finally, after a short while, the eunuch surnamed Dong brought a man in a black cloak into the hall. Eunuch Dong kneeled down and reported, "Long live the king. This servant will not disappoint you. I have found a beautiful woman to relieve your worries. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"


    He walked down the steps and reached out his hand to pull the black cloak off the woman''s head. At this time, the woman spoke tenderly, "My name is Tang An An [1] and I pay my respects to Your Majesty! I hope that Your Majesty will respect his dignity! "


    After hearing his words, the Liang Sect hurriedly took away the hand that was about to be lifted off the ground.


    The eunuch at the side shouted, "How dare you make trouble for the people! His Majesty would only personally remove your cape if he saw you! Don''t not know what''s good for you! If you anger her, it will bring disaster upon your entire family! "


    Li Zong said to his eunuch, "Dong Aoqing, don''t scare a beauty! "I am a person who cherishes the fairer sex, don''t you use me to scare people everyday?!"


    When the eunuch heard the last sentence of the emperor, he immediately fell to the ground, trembling and trembling. He cried out, "This servant doesn''t dare! This servant knows my wrongs. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"


    Without even giving him a glance, Li Zong said to Tang An, "Miss, can you take off your cloak so that I can take a look at your appearance!"


    Tang An An replied, "An''an was originally a common woman. I heard Eunuch Dong say that His Majesty had been sitting in the palace all day and was very bored, so I sent a lowly servant to dance a song for His Majesty to relieve him of his toil and boredom. Therefore, we do not dare to alarm His Majesty to personally do such a thing for our daughter.


    Liang Zong hurriedly said, "I definitely don''t blame the Lady. It''s just that when I saw the Lady Fang Rong, I couldn''t help but lose control of my emotions. It''s all because I lost my composure!"


    He saw Tang An An slowly take off his black cloak, and then as he was about to do a blessing, he was grabbed by the head of the Rizong Sect. Liang Zong stared at her and said infatuatedly, "There really is such a wondrous woman in this world, how wonderful!" Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng happened to have their backs facing Tang An xiaojie. Murong Feng stood there looking left and right, unable to see the beauty''s face even after a long time. He was afraid of alerting the guards below, so he didn''t dare to move. Mu Rong Feng was like an ant on a hot pan, an ant that didn''t dare to move. Zhang Linxuan was also very curious. Just what sort of extraordinary woman was she that caused even the Emperor to be dumbfounded?


    Eunuch Dong coughed at the side, which brought Rizong back to his senses. Li Zong cleared his throat and continued, "I''ve heard that Miss has many talents. Why don''t we dance a song and enjoy it?"

 C7

    Tang An raised her hand to gently stroke the cape on her head. The cape slowly fell down, revealing a black bun. There was a bamboo gold hairpin on each side of the bun and a string of glass beads on the tip of each hairpin.


    Murong Feng was looking at Tang An''s back as he leaned his neck forward with his eyes wide open. Zhang Lin Xuan was holding his breath as he stood to the side, hoping to catch a glimpse of Tang An''s appearance.


    After Tang An''an gently removed her cape, he saw that she was wearing a long, pink, draping dress. Her shoulders were slightly exposed, her waist was slightly swaying, and she was slim and graceful. She looked at Li Zong with burning eyes, and her head was slightly lowered as she turned to face Eunuch Dong and softly said, "I''m afraid that this is boring. Would it be good for me to ask Young Eunuch Dong to invite some musicians to accompany me?"


    Eunuch Dong, who was standing at the side, immediately said, "Good, very good. This old servant will do it immediately!" After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left.


    After a while, a group of musicians sat down by the side, and the sound of music from Sheng''er rang out. Tang An picked up a pair of cloud sleeves and lightly pushed them away. His graceful figure was like a flower blooming in the spring wind, slowly spreading out.


    Murong Feng was excited and lost himself in thought. He hurriedly stood up, clapped, and shouted, "Good!"


    The sudden voice frightened Tang An so much that he fell to the ground. With a trembling voice, he said, "There''s someone on the roof!"


    Hearing this, the sect leader hurriedly helped Tang An An to hide inside the hall. When Eunuch Dong saw that the emperor was safe and sound, a large number of imperial guards surged in. Archers were already nocked and ready to be shot. He ordered, "Don''t move. Wait for me to capture them alive!" After saying that, a great roc spread its wings and leapt onto the roof beam.


    Seeing that Eunuch Dong was about to pounce on him, Murong Feng patted the dazed Zhang Lin Xuan and said: "The good show is over, we should leave now!" With a palm strike, a large hole was created in the ceiling. The two of them pulled Zhang Linxuan along and jumped onto the roof. Then, the two of them hastily performed a lightness technique and fled. Eunuch Dong, who was right behind him, was in hot pursuit. They had to put in great effort to get away from Eunuch Dong. It took them about twenty miles away from the palace.


    Seeing that Eunuch Dong did not continue chasing them, the two of them stopped in the middle of a rocky area. Zhang Lin Xuan was already panting from exhaustion. In terms of Qing Gong, he was slightly inferior to Murong Feng. Murong Feng also bent down and lightly breathed out as he scolded, "I didn''t expect this eunuch to be so skilled. He scared me to death. I was afraid that if you weren''t careful, you''d be in trouble if he caught you!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan was lying down on a large rock as he panted. He adjusted his breathing and said, "I feel like that Eunuch Dong wasn''t chasing after us with all his might. He almost caught up to me several times. Why is he like this?! "


    Murong Feng snorted disdainfully. He leaned against a stone with Zhang Lin Xuan on his back and said, "Do you know Zhuge Liang''s stratagem of an empty city?!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan turned his head to look at him and said, "I know, but what does this have to do with Sky City''s scheme?"


    Murong Feng explained, "Sima Yi actually knew that Zhuge Liang was an empty city, so why did he pretend not to know?!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan thought for a moment and was suddenly enlightened. He said, "Take good care of yourselves as you feed the bandits!"


    Murong Feng picked up his fan and fanned it. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You''re still not too stupid!"


    Zhang Linxuan suddenly remembered the incident with Tang An and asked, "Brother Murong, did you clearly see Tang An''s face just now?"


    Murong Feng leaned his body forward and said, "I saw it. It''s a beauty!" Could it be that you want to go back and have a look again?! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan stood up and sat down cross-legged in front of him. He said, "Don''t you think that she looks very much like a person?!"


    Mu Rong Xuan put away his fan and sat up straight. He turned his face to the side and asked, "Who do you think you are? You want the person you like? Or like your sworn sister?! "


    Zhang Linxuan anxiously said, "That''s not it. It''s just like the woman we chased last night!"


    Murong Xuan turned around and looked at Zhang Lin Xuan, saying with a hint of understanding, "Sigh! I didn''t notice it if you didn''t say it, but now that you mention it, I remember! Although I only saw her from a distance last night, now that I think about it, she does look alike, but Don Anthea is much more beautiful than she is! However, you can''t usually tell if someone is not careful when it comes to dressing up! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan said, "They are exactly the same. Oh right, didn''t you say last night that you wanted to tell me the identity of that woman? "What is her background?!"


    Murong Feng stood up and said, "I only know that they are from the Moho Sect and that woman is their Holy Maiden! How did you get entangled by them? It''s very troublesome to get entangled by them! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan told Murong Feng exactly how he and Huang''er had met and lived in the inn.


    Zhang Linxuan was puzzled and asked, "You said that they are members of the Moo Gate, then why are they still so ruthless towards their own people?!"


    Murong Feng sighed and said, "That''s because you saw that terrifying corpse and were deceived. It was actually a shop assistant from that inn that had a similar figure as that old man!"


    Zhang Linxuan retorted, "How can you be so sure?!"


    Murong Feng threw up his hands and said with a helpless expression, "Because I saw a person in that group wearing the clothes of a shop assistant!"


    Zhang Linxuan cupped his fists and said, "I''m impressed! "Brother Murong is truly amazing!"


    Murong Feng shook his hand and said: "Little brother, don''t put gold on my face. It''s just that I have more experience in the martial arts world than you!"


    "Oh right, did you come to Lin An to look for me for something important?!" Mu Rong Feng asked.


    Zhang Linxuan said, "The truth is, I came here to ask you a few things about the Black Fiend!"


    When Murong Feng heard the two words "Black Fiend", he tightened his grip on his fan and asked with a face of surprise, "How did you know about the Black Fiend?!"


    Murong Feng asked with a puzzled expression, "What does the Black Fiend have to do with this person?!" Then, he turned to Zhang Linxuan and said, "Little brother, we''ve almost finished resting here. I can see that you have a lot of questions, so why don''t we find a place to continue our conversation at night?"


    Zhang Lin Xuan said, "Alright! We''ll drink and chat later, and we won''t have to worry about that anymore, I want to get drunk with you! "


    Mu Rong Feng slapped him hard with his fan and said, "With your alcohol tolerance, you think you can get drunk with me?!" I''m afraid you won''t hear anything I say later. "Let''s go!"


    Thus, the two of them took advantage of the darkness to once again arrive at Lin An City. At this moment, many of the inns in Lin An city had already been boarded up and had fallen asleep. The two of them had almost knocked on the doors of all the inns in Lin An city.

 C8

    The innkeeper reluctantly opened the door. It was as if the two of them had seen a buddha and felt extremely grateful ¡­


    But Murong Feng asked for two jars of wine and some side dishes. The boss looked reluctant as he said, "The two guests definitely have wine, but it''s already late in the night and the workers in our kitchen have finished their work. So this dish."


    Murong Feng took out a silver ingot and said, "We don''t have a high demand. Take a look at what''s in the kitchen and bring it to the guest room!"


    When the shop owner saw the silver, he immediately put it away and smiled, "Good, good, good! I''ll do it right now! "


    Not long after the two entered the room, the boss brought the dishes over. A plate of peanuts, two jars of cooking knives, a roast chicken, and a plate of stewed beef.


    The two of them had not eaten for a whole day, and their stomachs had long since protested. Picking up their chopsticks, they started to eat and drink to their heart''s content.


    Halfway through the alcohol, Murong Feng suddenly asked Zhang Lin Xuan, "How did you know about the Black Fiend?!"


    Zhang Linxuan put down the wine cup that was just about to reach his mouth and said, "I also heard my master talk about this."


    Murong Xuan quipped, "That old-fashioned master of yours, Taoist Iron Sword?!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes! But my Master also doesn''t quite understand what kind of organization the Black Fiend is. "


    Murong Feng said: "The Black Demon Sect is a mysterious assassination organization with decades of history. After so many years, no one knows their real identity and who is the mastermind behind them. They are usually no different from ordinary people. Whoever has seen them, no matter how far you go, they will kill you. Their methods were cruel and unruly. Most of the time, they would dismember the corpses of the dead, or burn them to nothing. Furthermore, after killing the target, they would leave a keepsake on the dead body to show that they were the Black Demon! There were also people who pretended to be the Black Fiend to kill and get angry, but in the end, they were killed by the Black Fiend, and their corpses were quietly hung on the city gate to show off their might.


    Zhang Lin Xuan slightly nodded his head and said, "No wonder my master said that it''s not time for me to take revenge yet. This Black Fiend is so savage! I will kill all of these devils who kill without batting an eye in order to avenge my father''s death! "


    Murong Feng was shocked and asked: "Could it be that the Zhang Quan is your father and the Black Fiend killed your father?!"


    Zhang Linxuan ruthlessly pounded the table with his hand, saying, "If I don''t avenge this grudge, then I swear I won''t be a human!"


    Murong Fu then said, "Oh, no wonder! Why did the Black Fiend want to kill your father? Did someone order the Black Fiend to kill your father? "


    Zhang Linxuan shook his head and said, "It''s because of a martial arts manual that doesn''t even exist. Someone ordered the Black Fiend and Grandmaster Tian Chan to slaughter my entire family. Fortunately, I''m in my master''s temple, otherwise, my Zhang family would have been exterminated!"


    As Zhang Lin Xuan spoke to here, his face was covered in tears. Mu Rong Feng patted Zhang Lin Xuan and comforted him, "I''m very sad about what happened to you, but there''s no absolute in everything. I recently heard that there''s a little guy called Hua Hua, who is known for being knowledgeable in all sorts of things.


    "That''s great! Brother Mu Rong, I''ll have to trouble you with this matter!" Just as Zhang Lin Xuan felt that he was about to lose all hope, he heard Murong Feng suddenly say this. He stood up, picked up his wine bowl, and said.


    Murong Feng replied, "You and I are brothers, it''s only right!" He picked up a bowl of wine and finished it in one gulp.


    Then he went on: "This little one is called Hua Zhaoge, although he doesn''t have much place in the Gang, but there are too many people who want to find him, so he hid himself and didn''t want to see anyone easily, moreover he has a strange personality and isn''t easy to deal with. You and I should rest early, tomorrow we can go see him!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan also finished his wine in one gulp and said, "Brother Murong is right! Tomorrow, we will definitely find that Little Flower! "


    Eunuch Dong did not manage to catch up with the two bandits. As he was on his way back to the palace, he thought to himself that he should return to report back to the sect.


    When he reached the waiting door, he found a black shadow following him. Eunuch Dong purposely slowed down his pace as the shadow got closer and closer. Eunuch Dong suddenly turned around and struck out with his palm. This palm seemed soft and weak, but there was a strong inner force hidden within it. There were twenty-four variations that people could not avoid.


    Unexpectedly, the man in black did not dodge but instead jumped up and struck out with his palm in a diving motion. The force was so great that a sandstorm kicked up on the street behind Eunuch Dong.


    Eunuch Dong saw the man coming, so he gave it his all. The stones under his feet cracked. The man in black suddenly withdrew his force. Eunuch Dong staggered and his force was like a sea of mud.


    The man in black smiled and said, "Eunuch Dong, we haven''t seen each other for ten years and your power has not declined at all. You have even improved a lot. You are getting stronger with age!"


    Eunuch Dong laughed coldly and said, "This bastard''s kung fu is not worth mentioning in front of you! "Say it, what are you trying to do by following me around in the middle of the night?"


    The man in black said, "Eunuch Dong is really modest. Our martial arts are just 50 steps and 100 steps. I came looking for you late at night because I wanted to discuss something with you. "


    Eunuch Dong saw that the man in black had stopped talking, so he asked, "You never leave empty-handed. Just tell me!" What do you need my help for?! "


    The man in black smiled at the sky and said, "Eunuch Dong sure likes to joke around. We''ve known each other for ten years, am I a thief?!" As the saying goes, near the enemy, near the enemy, then you are no longer a thief?! Back then, I helped you secretly. Do you think you are close to the body of the Emperor? Oh, that''s not right. Back then, he was still just a prince! "


    Eunuch Dong flung his sleeves and said angrily, "I don''t want to argue with you. What business do you have with me tonight?!"


    The man in black turned to Eunuch Dong and said word by word, "Bian ¡ª Magpie ¡ª Heart ¡ª Sutra!"


    Eunuch Dong laughed and said, "Do you think I''m a three year old child? Has anyone ever seen the Bian Que Heart Sutra before? I heard rumors about it from the martial arts world." With that, he prepared to leave.


    The man in black casually asked, "Then why is the king still looking for me?"


    Eunuch Dong stopped in his tracks. He turned around, gritted his teeth and said, "How did you know?!"


    The black clothed man raised his sleeves and said, "I had thought that we would cooperate once ten years ago, so we should be honest with each other. Sigh, I am very disappointed with you!" "Dong Song Chen, Eunuch Dong!"


    Once Dong Song Chen saw that his secret had been exposed, he could not suppress his anger and suppressed his anger. He asked, "How did you know that the Emperor was also looking for the Bian Que Heart Sutra?"


    The black-clothed man said in a relaxed manner, "Do you want to know? "First, agree to one of my conditions!"


    Dong Song Chen asked anxiously, "What conditions?"


    The man in black said, "Come back tomorrow night and we''ll talk!" After he finished speaking, with a leap, he was already ten feet away!


    Dong Song Chen looked at the shadow as it disappeared, and felt humiliated. He gritted his teeth, shook his sleeves and walked into the Imperial Street.

 C9

    The red board of the Dragon''s Might Escort Office was particularly dazzling under the morning sunlight.


    People were streaming in from the street, but Huang''er didn''t want to get up. Liu Qing had called her a few times already. Since she was in the escort office now, she had a lot of things to decide for herself.


    Usually, these matters were handled by her second senior brother, Cai Daoping. Now that she was here, he completely relinquished his authority. He said that he wanted to train her and prepare her for the entire escort team.


    Thinking about this, Huang''er got angry. She sat up and said to herself: "What do you mean for my own good? I think it''s because he saw me coming that he wanted to go out and drink and gamble!"


    Liu Qing was about to wake Huang''er up again, but saw her sitting on the bed with an unhappy face, so she smiled and said: "First Miss, getting up from the bed isn''t good for you. It''s easy for you to get old!"


    Huang''er was still angry and said, "It''s none of your business!"


    Liu Qing curled her lips before continuing to smile and say: "Okay okay okay, First Miss, I don''t care, but a customer came to the escort office and wanted you to talk to him personally!"


    Huang''er got out of bed and said reluctantly: "Why do you want me to talk to him personally? Where''s Second Brother? "


    Liu Qing replied: "He went out early today! "Ever since you came, senior brother Cai has rarely stayed in the escort office!"


    Huang''er humphed and continued: "This time, when I go back, I must properly report him to my father. "Liu Qing is always at the escort office. Who is in charge of the escort office''s business?"


    Liu Qing replied, "Miss, when you didn''t come, Brother Cai was at the escort company all day!"


    Surprised, Huang''er said: "Oh! I didn''t know he was so good! "


    Liu Qing urged, "My lady, let''s go quickly. Otherwise, the owner will be worried!"


    As the two women talked, they went into the lobby of the escort office to meet the owner.


    This time, the dart was sent to the Western Xia. The dart was expensive, so the head of the escort office was asked to conduct an interview. The owner was an old man with a thick Western Xia accent. When he saw that it was a girl, he smiled and said, "I didn''t expect a young lady like you to be able to run such a large escort company. I''m truly impressed!"


    Huang''er cupped her hands and said, "I dare not! Long Wei Escort Office was started by my father, and this branch is under the management of my second senior brother Cai Daoping. Since he has matters to attend to today, he is temporarily absent, so I can only temporarily replace him! "


    The old man waved his hand and said, "It''s alright. It''s just that the goods I''m entrusting are rather valuable, so it''s better if the head of the escort company checks that there''s no mistake. Silver is not a problem!"


    The old man then asked the servant to bring over a three-foot-long walnut box, which he slowly placed on the table. As the old man gently opened the box, a shining sword appeared before Huang''er''s eyes. The sword''s shape was a straight sword, the sword''s blade was about three fingers wide, about three feet long, the sword''s hilt was about two inches long, the handle was gold-plated, and the end of the handle was embedded with agate and jasper.


    When Huang''er saw the sword, she said, "The Western Xia Country used their sword crafting techniques to look down on the Central Plains. Why did you send this sword to the Western Xia?!"


    The old man said, "The Western Xia is indeed famous for forging swords in the Central Plains, but the Western Xia is a small and narrow place. In order to truly forge a peerless sword, one must not only have an extremely high skill, but also the right time and the right time to do so. This sword looks ordinary, but it''s the only reason this old man came all the way to the Central Plains! "


    Huang''er seemed to hear this and nodded her head: "Just like how she sacrificed Mo Xie''s life to her sword all those years ago!"


    The old man said with praise, "Of course! "This lady is very perceptive!"


    Huang''er picked up her sword and checked: "Send it to where in the Western Xia?"


    The old man said, "The crown prince of Xixia, Li Chou, from the Zhongxing Manor!"


    After sending off the old man, Huang''er told the escort to arrange the schedule. Huang''er decided to take the darts herself so that she could go back to see her mother.


    Just as Huang''er was about to explain the situation, she heard a burst of noise coming from outside the escort company''s office. Huang''er frowned and called a servant over to investigate the situation.


    Not long later, a disheveled and disheveled little flower with tattered clothes rushed into the hall with a dog beating stick. The three servants behind him tightly embraced his waist, but he strode into the hall, and the three people were carried forward more than three feet by him.


    The escort took a look and shouted at Little Flower: "Little Flower, don''t be rude here or don''t blame me for being rude!"


    Xiao Shuren didn''t even look at Xu Yingying''s head as she casually found a chair, sat down on it, and said to Huang''er while raising her feet: "I heard that Miss Huang received a dart to the Western Xia Country this morning, right?"


    Huang''er was greatly shocked when she heard this. She had just arrived at Lin An City the night before and hadn''t gone out at all yesterday. How did he know that her surname was Huang?


    Huang''er composed herself, calmly and harshly saying: "Who are you? You dare to break into my Dragon Might Escort Office? How did you find out about me taking the dart? "


    The little girl Hua acted like she didn''t care and said, "It seems like Miss Huang has a lot of questions. You''re lucky to have met me today. I''m here to solve people''s puzzles! However, I have to pay the price for solving people''s confusion! "


    Huang''er couldn''t help laughing when she heard this. "I''ve seen many braggart before. You know everything, so how can you prove it?"


    Little Flower said, "Have we never tried to face it? "Aren''t you curious how I recognized you as soon as I entered the hall?"


    Huang''er crossed her arms in front of her chest and seriously said, "I was curious at first about how you could call me by my name the moment you entered the room. I thought about it later, this isn''t strange at all."


    Little Flower laughed and asked: "Really?! "Why weren''t you curious after that?"


    Huang''er smugly smiled, then pointed at her head and said: "You''ll know after thinking about it! It was a pity that many people were blinded by their own eyes! "He thinks that what he sees is everything, and this is what it means to be self-centered!"


    Little Ming Hua clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Miss Huang, then how did you come up with that idea with your brain? Explain it to everyone!"


    Huang''er continued: "Firstly, Long Wei Escort Office, the world knows that it was opened by my father, Huang Zhenglong. As a beggar, of course you know who the boss of the escort office of the inn is. Even if you don''t know it, don''t you know that the other disciples of the gang don''t?"


    Little Flower heard Huang''er''s analysis clearly, the cynical confident smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he let go of his leg which was resting on the chair. However, this did not mean that he had lost, so he continued, "Then why can I recognize you as Miss Huang with a single glance?"

 C10

    Huang''er smiled and said: "This is simpler, which is the second thing I want to say. After you entered the escort mission, the only girls in the hall are Liu Qing and me, although you are called Xiao Hua, you have a lot of experience, and normally the most important skill is to observe people''s expressions. Do you see whether I''m right or not?"


    Little Flower stood up and gave Huang''er a thumbs up: "Miss Huang is really intelligent! "You''re right, but how do I know you took the Western Xia''s dart?"


    Could it be that I was also able to see through your words? "


    Huang''er frowned, lowered her head and thought for a long time, but didn''t say anything.


    "Although you and I are about the same age and you are very smart, but unfortunately, you still lack experience in the martial arts world, so you definitely can''t see as much as me. It''s not surprising that you can''t think of this at the moment, but I have a habit of being nosy as long as I''m happy, so does Miss want to know the name of the dart you''re about to give us?!"


    Huang''er asked: "Oh, what else did I say about this dart?"


    Little Flower let his dog beat stick dance in a circle and placed it behind his back. He then said, "I''ll ask you first, the dart you guys took was a Western Xia sword, right?"


    Huang''er nodded and said, "It is indeed a Western Xia Sword! How do you know that? "


    Little Flower gave a mysterious smile, but did not answer her question. He continued, "Do you know that the sword you gave me is called the Father-murdering Sword?!"


    Huang''er had a puzzled look on her face as she asked hastily, "Why do you call it Father Slaughtering Sword?"


    "That sword was the sword that Brother Ning used to kill his father, Li Yuanhao. Later on, the Western Summer Country viewed that sword as an ominous object and did not allow that sword to appear again in the Western Xia. However, the martial artists of the Central Plains coveted this sword. This sword was exquisite, sharp, unparalleled, and priceless. The jasper and agate on the handle were Li Yuanhao''s favorite things. The key point was that there was a secret hidden within the sword. It was about a secret that would shock the entire martial arts world. As for what it was? I can''t tell you! "


    Huang''er listened in rapt attention, and when he finished, she said, "You''re saying that I took this dart to solve a problem?!"


    Xiao Shuren sighed and said, "Once the martial arts world learns that this sword has reappeared, all the powerful warriors will move. I am very worried about Miss Huang''s situation!"


    Huang''er humphed, and said seriously, "Once my Longwei Escort Office accepts the dart, we will have to deliver it even if it will be extremely difficult! I want to see what kind of blind things dare to hit on my things! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng had been searching the streets for Little Flower. As neither of them had ever seen Little Flower, they were like headless flies that wandered around everywhere. When they saw someone who looked like a beggar, they immediately went forward to ask about it, and everyone shook their heads to show that they had never seen Little Flower before. Some people thought that they were looking for a beggar child nearby, so they brought the two to take a look.


    When they reached the door and stepped out onto the street, they kept looking around. It was very strange today. There were not even a single beggar on this street! It was almost noon. The two of them searched for half a day and were very dejected. Their stomachs were already growling, so they decided to find a wine house to worship their five viscera temple.


    The two of them had just arrived at the door of a restaurant and were about to enter when a slightly plump middle-aged man dashed towards them. The pedestrians on both sides of the street were frightened by this fatty''s sudden rush. Mu Rong Xuan was currently talking to Zhang Lin Xuan about going to another place to look for it after dinner. Suddenly, he was attracted by the screams of the crowd. Just as he was about to turn around and look, he was met with a sudden collision by the fatty. Murong Feng saw that the fatty was about to send him flying, so he hurriedly spun around like a top and used "Chasing Wind Chasing Moon".


    Zhang Lin Xuan saw that Murong Feng had safely landed on the ground and was about to rush up to ask the fatty why he was not looking when he was suddenly grabbed by a large hand. A strong force clamped onto his back, preventing him from moving at all. Zhang Linxuan thought to himself, I''ve finally found you! He took a step back and threw forward with both hands on his wrists. The vassal was shocked, and was about to use his other hand to wrap his arm around Zhang Lin Xuan''s waist. As if Zhang Lin Xuan had grown a pair of eyes behind him, his hands loosened up and he suddenly turned around to sweep a leg across the room. The vassal was sent flying far away.


    Zhang Linxuan saw that the situation wasn''t looking good. Although this kind of move that relied on brute force wouldn''t cause any internal injuries, once he took a punch, he would at least lose an arm or a leg. As such, he steadied his stance and circulated his inner strength through his entire body, executing the ordinary move of the Great Ancestor''s punching routine. He channeled his inner strength into his palms and struck out with both palms, making it seem as if they had both been struck by a club. Although their bodies were sturdy, they were still pushed back by more than three feet by Zhang Lin Xuan''s palms. The two of them stood still, wiped the blood from the corner of their mouths and rushed forward again. Pan, who had been beaten to the ground, now stood up and said something to them viciously. The two of them immediately stood behind the first, forming a line, with their hands on the former''s shoulders. They muttered something, and their faces gradually turned the color of a pig''s liver. As Zhang Linxuan saw this, he immediately understood in his heart that this was definitely a type of internal technique of the Secret Sect. Although he had seen Grandmaster Tian Chan''s skills, now that the three of them had combined their inner force, it was definitely not any worse than his. Thus, he was about to immediately run away.


    At this moment, the vassal in front of him slowly raised his hands. Suddenly, his eyes opened, and he saw that Zhang Lin Xuan had already dashed more than three meters away. He immediately pushed out his palms, and a surge of wild energy rushed towards Zhang Lin Xuan. Wherever the palm wind passed by, tables and stools would be shattered to pieces. With the wind from the palm, it was like a leopard chasing after Zhang Lin Xuan. Zhang Lin Xuan wanted to use this opportunity to change the direction of his movement, but the wind behind his palm was already within reach. If he stopped for a moment, then his life would definitely be lost here.


    After putting the fatty down, Murong Feng was about to ask him why he was walking in broad daylight like he was a reincarnation. Fatty pointed behind him as he mumbled indistinctly. His face turned pale as he started to run again. Murong Feng thought he was using a deceptive trick to trick him, so he took the chance to escape. So she rushed forward and grabbed him, saying: "What a shitty person, how could he be so uncultured?! Today, let me teach you a lesson in place of your parents! "

 C11

    Fatty shook his hands as he gasped for breath. It was not easy for him to unravel a sentence. "You." You. No. Misunderstanding! I''m not. Yes. "It was intentional!"


    Murong Feng released his grip and said, "Then tell me clearly, why are you running around the streets like a madman in broad daylight?!"


    Fatty straightened his neck and pointed at the back. "It was sent by Old Lady Mo!"


    Murong Feng pulled Fatty away and immediately saw Zhang Lin Xuan dashing towards him.


    Seeing that the situation wasn''t good, Murong Fengyi pushed the fatty away. He took two steps forward, picked up Zhang Lin Xuan and soared into the sky before landing gracefully on the rooftop.


    The three vassals were all gasping for breath, sweating profusely as they sat to the side. From the looks of it, they had used up all their strength and collapsed.


    At this moment, the fatty saw that the three vassals were no longer able to defend themselves, so he quickly ran up to them and fiercely kicked them a few times. He muttered under his breath, "Now I want you guys to chase after me!" Then they searched through their clothes.


    Not long after, he found several gold ingots from the three vassals. After counting them, he hurriedly put them into his sleeves and spat at them, "You three liars deserve it!" Then he swaggered away!


    Murong Feng flew down from the rooftop and landed right in front of him, blocking his way as he asked, "Why are you being chased by them?!"


    When the fatty saw Murong Feng block his path, he ignored him and said angrily, "Good dog won''t block his way! I''ll have to trouble you to get out of my way! "


    Mu Rong Feng pushed him and said, "Friend, what you did was wrong! It wasn''t easy for the two of us to help you settle the three vassals. You don''t even have the word ''thank'', and you still call me a dog. Aren''t you being too rude! " After saying that, she pushed him a few more times.


    Seeing Murong Feng''s overbearing attitude, the fatty''s eyes were filled with panic. However, his mouth didn''t spare anyone as he stammered, "You." You don''t want too much. It''s too much. You pissed me off, or I''ll do it. Find someone to accept it. I''ll take care of you! "


    Murong Feng chuckled and stuck a fan into his bulging belly. "Oh? Is that so?! "Then I want to see who you will find to deal with me today!"


    Fatty took a few steps back and quickly took out a small crossbow. Then, he shot a Dysprosium into the sky. The pedestrians on the street were startled by the noise, and a moment later they were surrounded by a crowd.


    While the two of them were still in a stalemate, the three officials who had collapsed to the ground had already recovered. Noticing that something was wrong, they stealthily slipped away.


    Seeing that Murong Feng was purposely teasing the fatty, Zhang Lin Xuan walked over and pulled on Murong Feng as he said, "Let''s go. Why do you need to lower yourself to the same level as him!"


    Murong Feng didn''t move at all. Perhaps he was fighting with the fatty, but with a wave of his hand, he pushed Zhang Lin Xuan behind him and said to the fatty: "I won''t fight with you today, lest others say that I am bullying someone without martial arts skills. But I must wait for your call for help! I want to see what kind of ability you have to dare to act so atrociously in front of me! "


    Then he said to the crowd, "That damn fatty, I helped him out with good intentions, and he even called me a dog. Does everyone want an explanation?!"


    After the crowd heard what Murong Feng said, they all started to point at Fatty.


    "This fatty is clearly not a good person!"


    "Right, an evil face!"


    "Yo yo yo, isn''t this the fatty who''s been gambling for a while?!" "What''s wrong with that, you won''t pay if you lose?"


    "What?! We won''t pay him if we lose? Beat him up!"


    Fatty saw that everyone was criticizing him, so he waved his hands and shouted, "It''s not like that! It''s not like that! "


    Another person said, "Look, his mouth is quite tough!" Another person followed up, "Those who like to gamble are not good people!"


    After Huang''er had sent Hua Xiao away, she was alone in the room, thinking hard: Who is this person who wants us to send the darts? Why did he want us to send this patricide sword to the Prince of Western Xia? Was there some kind of conspiracy? She stared blankly at the name of the person who had signed the escort note, "Ding Shitong."


    Suddenly, a faint tweaking sound of dysprosium entered her ears. She immediately realized that this was the signal for their escort to call for help. Something must have happened to second senior brother outside!


    She quickly stepped out of the door, called Xu Que who was playing dice with the escort, and rode off in the direction of the Dysprosium''s cry with her weapon.


    The fatty was sitting on the ground with a depressed look on his face. The noon sun was scorching him up, but a lot of sweat was already dripping down his face. Murong Feng was still playing with him, so he squatted down to look at him and said: "Hey, Fatty, have you called the person over yet?!" Everyone''s getting hungry from waiting! " The surrounding people probably could not hold it in any longer, and they all advised, "It''s fine if you are apologizing to this young master, but there''s no point in wasting time like this!" Yeah, how big a deal is it?! Forget it! "


    The fatty raised his head, narrowed his eyes and looked at the surrounding onlookers with a bitter expression before standing up abruptly. Due to him standing up too fiercely, he almost fell down, causing the crowd to let out a cry of alarm. The fat man steadied his hat, pointed at Murong Feng and said, "When my Junior Sister comes, you''ll be the best!" He then looked at the sky, then looked left and right before sitting down on the ground.


    Hearing that, Murong Feng laughed out loud and said, "Is your junior sister very powerful? As a seven foot tall man, you still need to rely on a woman to support you. Aren''t you afraid that everyone will laugh? " Fatty disapproved and turned his head to sit on the ground without making a sound ¡­


    When everyone saw his actions, they all said he was a scoundrel. They advised Murong Feng not to lower himself to his level, so why waste time on him? Just do whatever you have to do, and let him go.


    Zhang Lin Xuan stood to the side, not saying anything. He went to the shop beside them that was buying steamed buns and bought two steamed buns for each of them. The fatty took the steamed bun and started to gobble it down, completely looking down on the surrounding crowd of people.


    Huang''er led her escort Xu Yu along the path of Dysprosium. After searching for a while, she still did not see where her second senior brother was. She was about to turn the horse around to look elsewhere. He heard a passerby saying, "That fatty was too funny. He was already in his thirties, and he sat on the ground like a child!" "Another person said," "That''s right, and even said ''wait for his junior sister''. He, a man, still has to rely on a woman to stand up for him, it''s not shameful!"


    Huang''er understood what he meant, so she said to the passerby: "Where is the fat guy you were talking about?"


    "Yes."

 C12

    The passerby pointed and said, "It''s less than one kilometer to the left of this street corner. There are a lot of people gathered there. We can see them from afar!"


    Huang''er thanked the passersby and galloped off in that direction. Xu Que knew this young miss had a short temper. If he didn''t remind her, something big would happen. He quickly shouted from behind: "Young lady, if there is anything you want to ask first, then we will talk!"


    At this moment, Huang''er''s heart was filled with anger. She could only hate her second senior brother for not being able to live up to his expectations, causing the Huang Family and the Long Wei Escort Office to lose all their face.


    In an instant, Huang''er arrived at the place where the crowd was. She could see the crowd pointing at her from afar. Her second senior brother was really sitting on the ground in the middle of the crowd, eating steamed buns with his head lowered.


    Huang''er immediately dismounted from her horse. She was about to rush into the crowd and pull this disgraceful Second Senior Martial Brother away. It wouldn''t be too late for her to teach him a lesson when she returned. Who would have thought that the moment he walked into the crowd, he would see Cai Daoping standing opposite of Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng, whom he had just met two days ago? For a moment she couldn''t figure out why they were together.


    Zhang Lin Xuan stood to the side and watched Murong Xuan casually tell everyone about this fatty''s "crimes." For a moment, he felt too embarrassed to go up and stop him.


    All of a sudden, he saw Huang''er walk into the crowd in a flustered manner. He hurried over and greeted her, "Miss Huang, it''s really fate that we could meet each other here!"


    As soon as Huang''er saw Zhang Linxuan, she immediately forced a smile and said, "That''s right, Brother Zhang, it''s a pleasure to meet you!"


    At this time, Xu Ying arrived. He walked up to Cai Daoping, picked him up and was about to leave the crowd.


    Who knew that Cai Daoping would still not let him go? He was lying on the ground with a steamed bun stuffed in his mouth as he talked.


    Xu Que also felt a bit embarrassed and said softly: "Shopkeeper, let''s go back and talk, okay?"


    Cai Daoping finally swallowed the steamed bun, cleared his throat and said, "I''ve been bullied by others, how can you just let it go like this?"


    Huang''er could not hold back her anger any longer. She shouted at Cai Daoping, "If you don''t mind, let''s face it!" If you don''t leave now, we won''t be able to manage you anymore! "


    Murong Feng originally understood most of what was going on when he saw Huang''er arrive here. When he heard her reprimanding Cai Daoping, he completely understood that the girl he met that day was this fatty''s junior sister!


    So he said loudly: "Oh, so this is the fat one''s junior sister! Such fate! "


    Huang''er had been busy greeting Zhang Lin Xuan and hadn''t paid any attention to this'' prodigal disciple ''. Now, seeing that he was still mocking her, she said, "You dressed like a beast, just what kind of ability do you have to bully honest people? "If you''re capable, try competing with me again!"


    Murong Xuan wasn''t angered by her and continued, "I''ve already experienced your martial arts, so it''s normal. But your martial brother''s skills are amazing, he''s just acting shamelessly! Could it be that your sect''s best martial arts are all shamelessness? "


    Huang''er said angrily: "What a man. I will show you my martial arts skills!" After he finished speaking, he raised his sword and stabbed towards Murong Feng.


    As Zhang Lin Xuan saw this, he immediately pulled back Huang''er''s sword and said, "My sworn enemy should be resolved, not tied up. Brother Murong is a good friend of mine, can you give me some face and let me explain this matter to you calmly and clearly?!"


    Huang''er was stunned and said, "You are friends with this lecherous guy?"


    Zhang Linxuan said, "Miss Huang, please don''t misunderstand. Brother Murong may look a bit dissolute on the surface, but he is a true gentleman!"


    Huang''er rolled her eyes at Murong Feng and said: "A man of honor?! I have never seen a gentleman teasing a lady from a good family! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan looked at Murong Feng and said, "Brother Murong, which family did you tease?!"


    Murong Xuan smiled and said, "Miss Huang, that day when we met by chance, it could only be considered fate. Going up to get to know each other, isn''t that considered flirting?!"


    Murong Feng and Huang''er were in a heated argument. Cai Daoping, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly said, "Junior sister, are you here because of my matter or because of this bastard?!"


    Huang''er suddenly felt that she had been wrong when she heard her senior brother say this. Thus, she asked Zhang Lin Xuan about what had just happened.


    Listening to Zhang Linxuan''s narration, Huang''er looked at Cai Daoping and pretended to be angry. She said, "You must have been chasing after your loss because you lost a gamble with someone!"


    Cai Daoping, who was sitting on the floor, tried to defend himself, "Those three vassals cheated me, joining forces to deceive me! Otherwise, with my skills, I wouldn''t have lost to them. Then when I wanted to expose them, they came after me, flustered and exasperated! "


    When Murong Feng heard this, he sneered at Zhang Linxuan and said, "It seems that there are some people who don''t appreciate the kindness of others. It''s a pity that we went all out to help him, but he actually said we were bullying him! Does everyone think that heaven is right?! " As he spoke, he began to persuade the crowd.


    The fat Cai Daoping was about to argue, but was pulled back by Huang''er. "Aren''t you ashamed of yourself enough?!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan walked over and asked Huang''er, "Is he really your Second Senior Apprentice Brother?!"


    Huang''er said, "Yes! is my father''s second disciple! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan scratched his head and said, "Then why doesn''t he have any martial arts?!"


    Huang''er immediately understood, and replied: "He was originally not so fat, but his martial arts was on par with my eldest senior brother He Daqing''s. Then, during the course of a dart protection, he was ambushed, his head hit by a heavy blow, and when he woke up, everything was normal. Even his martial arts were all gone, and his intelligence was affected a little. Later on, he heard that there was a godly doctor called "Jian Hua Tuo" who could cure him, but unfortunately, he never got the chance to see him again. My father also liked second senior, so he arranged for him to come to Linan to take care of the escort office''s business. Who knew that he would gradually get addicted to gambling here. That''s why what happened just now, I apologize to the two of you on behalf of my second senior brother.


    As he finished speaking, he cupped his fists towards Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng.


    Seeing Huang''er apologize to him, Murong Feng said bitterly, "You know how to apologize now? Weren''t they so domineering just now? Furthermore, the apologies are not for show. There must be actual action! "


    When Huang''er saw Murong Feng''s face, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said to him, "What kind of actual action do you want?!"


    Seeing that his scheme had worked, Murong Feng rubbed his belly and said, "Look, the two of us have run away because of your second senior brother. We''ve also suffered. Shouldn''t you treat us to a meal?!"

 C13

    On the side, Zhang Linxuan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Miss Huang, Brother Murong is joking, please don''t bother with him!"


    Huang''er said, "Isn''t it just treating you to a meal?! Alright, I''ll invite you! Otherwise, I''m afraid that some people will say something about our Karakorum''s people behind our backs! "


    Xu Ying took over: "Our young miss has just arrived and doesn''t know much about Lin An city. I''ll take you to Guangfu Restaurant to have a taste of the delicacies there. What do you think?!"


    Murong Feng curled his lips and said, "Inviting someone to eat and not even taking master out? Isn''t that a bit too insincere?!"


    Huang''er retorted, "Who said I''m not going?! "It''s just that Chief Xu has some knowledge of Lin An''s location. He can just arrange it. I will definitely come!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan hastily said, "That''s good!"


    The crowd, who had watched the fight twice, found it boring and walked away in twos and threes. Xu Que brought the group of people and set off for Guangfu Restaurant.


    Huang''er had never even glanced at Murong Feng before she had been busy discussing the sights of the streets and the groceries at the side of the stalls with Zhang Lin Xuan, causing Zhang Lin Xuan to feel very uneasy. He had originally wanted to follow them, but Huang''er had brought him along to look at the oil-paper umbrellas, the child''s rattle, and then the jade ornaments. Everyone was delayed by the two of them just like that for less than an hour.


    Murong Feng felt bored as he watched them play, so he put his hands on Cai Daoping''s shoulders. Cai Daoping, who was originally very calm, suddenly jumped up and quickly pulled Murong Feng''s hand away. He said seriously: "Brother Murong, I, Cai Daoping, am not as good as Long Yang. Please show some respect!"


    At the side, Xu Qingfeng burst into laughter as he saw this. Zhang Lin Xuan and Huang''er rushed over and asked, "What''s so funny?!"


    Murong Feng was so angry that he couldn''t even say a word. He let out a long "chi" sound and said, "You''re crazy!" before hurriedly walking to the front.


    Cai Daoping innocently replied, "It is, after all. I only like women!"


    As soon as Huang''er heard this, she pointed at Murong Feng and then at Cai Daoping, then burst into laughter. Zhang Lin Xuan, who was standing to the side, didn''t even have time to react before he asked her what she was laughing about.


    Murong Feng was afraid that Zhang Lin Xuan would be misled by them, so he took two steps back, grabbed Zhang Lin Xuan''s hand, and started walking. As Zhang Lin Xuan walked, he said in a daze, "Brother Murong, why are you holding my hand?!"


    Behind them, their Huang''er heard the conversation and laughed even harder. Murong Feng angrily shook off Zhang Lin Xuan''s hand and walked forward with an angry and pale face.


    Thus, Zhang Linxuan walked back, wanting to ask what Huang''er was smiling at. Huang''er laughed even more uncontrollably, unable to keep her balance. As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan came over, she did not think too much and grabbed his arm, gasping for breath. She would smile from time to time, and only after a long time did she recover.


    As Zhang Lin Xuan was asking that question, Huang''er laughed, almost lying down on the ground. Zhang Lin Xuan grabbed her hand and pulled her up. He heard Huang''er say breathlessly: "He is as good as Long Yang!" As he spoke, he held his breath and his body trembled. From time to time, he would let out a light laugh.


    Suddenly, Cai Daoping glanced at Zhang Linxuan, then pointed at him and hurriedly said, "Why are you holding my Junior-apprentice Sister''s hand?!"


    Zhang Linxuan saw that he had held onto Huang''er just now and had not let go of her hand. He was so frightened that he quickly let go of her hand. His face flushed red as he stood there motionlessly.


    Huang''er stood at the side and walked a few steps forward shyly. She bit her lips and pulled her second senior brother forward with her head lowered and a blush on her face.


    Cai Daoping pointed back at Zhang Linxuan, unwilling to accept this. He turned to Huang''er and said, "He took advantage of you. How about you just leave like this?!"


    Xu Yingying, who was walking behind, patted Cai Daoping''s head and said, "Shopkeeper, with your temper, if it was anyone else, they would have been beaten half to death. Look at Eldest Miss''s current reaction, do you still need to worry?"


    Huang''er glared at Xu Yingtou. Her delicate body twisted as she angrily said, "I won''t care about you anymore!" After which, he walked to the other side of the crowd.


    Cai Daoping rubbed his head, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "That''s true!"


    Murong Feng gloated loudly at Huang''er, "Don''t worry Miss Huang, it''s alright, my stupid brother definitely won''t despise you!"


    Huang''er picked up a chestnut beside her and threw it at Murong Feng. She shouted, "None of your business!"


    Murong Feng laughed loudly, "Someone is embarrassed!"


    Huang''er didn''t pay any more attention to him. She slowly walked forward with her head lowered, occasionally glancing at Zhang Lin Xuan behind her. She thought to herself, ''He really does look like a fool!''


    Zhang Lin Xuan was like a child who had done something wrong. He lowered his head and followed behind Xu Yingdao and Cai Daoping. He didn''t dare to look in Huang''er''s direction. Suddenly thinking that he had run into a middle-aged woman, Zhang Lin Xuan hurriedly apologized. Who knew that the middle-aged woman would say, "Have you lost your mind or what?!" After saying that, he left resentfully.


    Cai Daoping, who was standing at the back, took a look, shook his head and said, "Why is my junior sister so confused? She has taken a fancy to a fool!"


    Xu Ying looked at Zhang Lin Xuan and said, "How do you know he''s a fool?!"


    Cai Daoping was momentarily at a loss for words. He glanced at Zhang Linxuan and said nothing more.


    It was already past noon by the time the five of them arrived at Guangfu Restaurant. There weren''t many people in the restaurant. Xu Yingdong was a regular customer here, so the boss gave them a room.


    Due to the small incident just now, both of them were eating in silence. They didn''t dare to say anything as the atmosphere became extremely awkward.


    Cai Daoping and the other two people were drinking cups together. They looked at the two of them from time to time. The other two people also looked at them silently. Not long after, after three rounds of drinking, Cai Daoping was already in a slightly tipsy state. He lifted up his wine cup and walked over to Zhang Linxuan, patting him as he lowered his head to eat his rice. He looked at Huang''er and said, "Young Hero Zhang, what do you think of my Junior-apprentice Sister?!"


    Zhang Linxuan swallowed the rice that he hadn''t finished and said, "Miss Huang, I''m very impressed by your talent and intelligence, as well as the fact that you''re from a prestigious clan!"


    Cai Daoping pouted, shook his head and said, "No, no, no! I didn''t mean that. What I mean is, what do you think about my Junior Sister being your wife?! " As he finished speaking, he sat down on a nearby chair, grinning as he looked at Zhang Lin Xuan''s face.


    Huang''er, who was quietly eating at the side, immediately stood up when she heard her senior brother say so. She threw away her chopsticks and quickly walked to Cai Daoguang. She hit him with her fist and said, "If you dare to speak any more nonsense, I''ll tell my father!"

 C14

    When Cai Daoping heard that his Junior Sister was going to complain to his Master, he was so scared that he immediately went to his seat and quietly drank his wine.


    Seeing Cai Daoping''s appearance, Murong Feng said to Huang''er, "Miss Huang, don''t be embarrassed. It is natural for young girls to be in love with each other. Besides, my brother Zhang is also not bad. Don''t you think so? "Leader Xu!" As he spoke, he called Xu Yingdao.


    Xu Que was just about to pick up his wine cup and see Murong Feng calling him, so he smiled and waved his hand: "I won''t say anything about the love you youngsters have for each other, but with my experience as an experienced person, I''ve done it before!"


    Huang''er had a sullen face as she coquettishly said, "Uncle Xu, you should join forces with them to bully me!"


    Xu Bao stood up and said: "Big miss, I don''t have any! I mean to meet someone I love! It''s not that you and Young Hero Zhang have ever gotten along before! You better not misunderstand! "


    Huang''er turned her face to the side, pouting, "You''re still talking about this, too!"


    Xu Yingdao agreed immediately: "Okay, okay, okay! "Don''t say it, don''t say it!" After saying that, he drained the cup of wine in one gulp.


    Cai Daoping said that they were friends after all, so he suggested a drink and a drink together. In order to change the topic, Huang''er was the first to agree and raised her glass.


    At this moment, Cai Daoping was like a different person from the fatty who was acting shamelessly on the ground. His words were extremely smooth, and he had perfect control of his speech, making him look like a normal person.


    Murong Feng looked at Zhang Lin Xuan, meaning that there was something wrong with this fatty! At this time, Zhang Lin Xuan had already been released from his predicament, but he still didn''t dare to look directly at Huang''er. As everyone drank their cups one after another, Zhang Lin Xuan was soon half-drunk.


    Strangely, Cai Daoping seemed to get more spirited as he drank, his eyes were glowing, his words were reasonable, and his mind was clear. Murong Feng could not stand him any longer and asked, "Brother Cai, why is your style so different from before?"


    Cai Daoping raised his head and drank the wine in his cup. Smiling, he said, "I only have a clear mind when I have drunk a certain amount of alcohol. However, it can only last for a moment. Brother Murong, don''t think that I''m just pretending to be stupid!


    Murong Feng gave a dubious nod and said with a smile: "In the boundless universe, there is nothing without wonder! "Besides, we should be more compassionate when Brother Cai is suffering from such a serious illness. How could we dare not believe it?"


    At this time, Huang''er spoke up from the side: "Second Senior Brother, since you are awake now, I have something to tell you! It''s a very strange thing! "


    Cai Daoping put down his wine cup and asked, "Oh, what''s so strange about that?"


    Huang''er told Cai Daoping about the old man holding his sword this morning.


    "What''s strange is that right after that person with the dart left, a little flower who claims to know all the secrets suddenly barged in, saying that this sword is called the father slaying sword, it was the sword that killed the former king of Western Xia, Li Yuanhao. Because his son killed him, it was called the father murdering sword, and it also contained a secret that would attract the people of the Jianghu to seize it. But since the dart has been accepted, for the sake of the Longwei Escort Office''s prestige, I have decided to personally take the dart, what do you think?! "


    Cai Daoping paused for a moment before saying, "The key now is to find Little Flower! And then we''ll make plans! "


    As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan heard that Huang''er had seen Little Flower, he immediately asked, "Miss Huang, since you''ve seen Little Flower before, do you know where he is? We''re really looking for him right now! "


    Huang''er shook her head and said, "This person''s behavior is weird. I''ve just arrived at Lin An as well. Uncle Xu, do you know where he is?"


    Xu Que said helplessly, "People in the martial arts world know that it is not easy to find him. I''ve only met him a few times. "However, they say that the Beggar''s Gang will be having a meeting soon. When the time comes, we''ll go to Jun Shan Island to have a look. Maybe we''ll meet each other."


    Murong Feng stood up and said, "Right now, it''s still three months away from the day the Beggar''s Gang starts. We can''t possibly wait for three months before we go look for him, right? It would be better to wait on the side and take the initiative to attack! Since you guys have met Hua Pi today, it proves that he is still in Rian today. Leader Xu, do you know where the Cupid Gang Linan Division is?! "


    Xu Que frowned and said, "I don''t know where the entrance to the division is. Since Brother Murong said we should attack first, then we should use this method to find them!"


    Huang''er looked at Murong Feng and said unhappily, "Normally, you don''t have any form, but now you can spit out ivory from a dog''s mouth!"


    Murong Feng waved his fan and said, "It''s rare to see Miss Huang approve of me. I appreciate it!"


    Huang''er coldly said, "Shameless!"


    Elder Zhuang sat on a dilapidated wooden chair in the temple and said to a beggar standing to the side, "I heard that your senior brother Shi Hu Chen has come to visit you recently. Is the news accurate?!"


    The little beggar girl bowed with both hands as she said, "Brother has received news. I saw senior brother at the Dragon Might Escort Office. Also, I saw two people looking for senior at Lin An city. It seems like senior brother''s news about Lin An city is correct!"


    Elder Zhuang stroked his white beard and said with a worried expression, "Your senior brother does things too ostentatiously. He will definitely bring disaster upon himself in the future!" "You can never learn it!"


    The little beggar girl replied, "I will definitely remember Master''s teachings!"


    At this time, an old beggar hurried into the dilapidated temple and shouted out to Elder Zhuang, who was sitting on a chair, "Not good!" Elder Zhuang immediately stood up to greet the flustered old beggar, asking him what had happened.


    The old beggar said, "The brothers on the street reported that four men and a woman appeared. When they saw the brothers of the Beggar Gang, they beat them up, saying that they wanted to meet the leader of Linan Branch. If they don''t come out soon, they will fight whenever they see the brothers of the Beggar Gang.


    Elder Zhuang asked anxiously, "Do you know the other party''s identity?!"


    The old beggar continued, "Only two people I know. They are Manager Cai from the Longwei Escort Office and Chief Xu. The other two are men and women that I''ve never seen before!"


    Elder Zhuang sat down on the chair and stroked his beard as he said thoughtfully, "The Long''s Might Escort Office has nothing to do with this gang, could it be that this trouble was caused by my disciple who likes to cause trouble?!"


    Elder Zhuang then asked the old beggar, "Have you seen this tiger official?!"


    The old beggar shook his head and said, "Ever since he left the Dragon''s Might Escort Office, someone saw him heading northwest. There was no news of him since!"


    Elder Zhuang self-deprecatingly said, "This lowly disciple, it wasn''t easy to get to Lin An, but he didn''t even look at me, this old thing. He really is a good disciple!"


    "Master, you''re too stingy, isn''t this disciple here to see you?!" A voice drifted in from outside.


    Everyone turned around and saw Little Flower standing outside in the yard with a smile on his face.

 C15

    Elder Zhuang glanced at Little Flower and turned his head to sit on the wooden chair, not saying another word.


    Little Flower called out as he walked into the run-down temple. He bowed his head and greeted Elder Zhuang with a bow, saying, "Disciple greets Master!"


    Elder Zhuang snorted and leisurely said, "You still know that you have me as your master?!"


    Xiao Shuren immediately said, "Disciple was delayed by some matters today, so I came to see master now. I hope master will forgive me!"


    Elder Zhuang''s anger had yet to dissipate as he said in a stern voice, "I dare not hope that you will come visit me often. I only hope that you do not reveal your true abilities. Once there is a fatal disaster, you will regret it too late!"


    Little Fu Hua replied, "I was worried about my disciple, so I didn''t come in time to see him. I feel guilty!" This disciple will remember Master''s words in his heart! "


    Elder Zhuang''s face slightly relaxed as he sternly said, "After you succeed, you will travel all year round. I will never teach you again sooner or later. I hope you will understand!"


    When Xiao Ming Hua heard the teachings of her Master, she saw that her Master, who had brought her up by herself, had added a lot of paleness to her temples, and her heart was filled with grief.


    Elder Zhuang continued to say, "You and I have lived our lives together for the past half year, and have gone through many hardships. We understand you very well, and recently, Master has been feeling uneasy, feeling that something big is about to happen. Disciple, in the martial arts world, you have to be careful! Maybe Master is old and likes to nag, but everything is for your own good, you have to understand Master''s good intentions! "


    Little Ming Hua held back the tears that were about to roll down her face as she said with a trembling voice, "Disciple will have to trouble you!"


    Elder Zhuang straightened his voice and stroked his beard, asking, "Are you going to deal with some troublesome matters when you return to Lin An?"


    Little Flower called out, looking around. The beggar walked out, and Little Flower whispered into Elder Zhuang''s ear, "I came back this time to investigate the [Flat Magpie Heart Sutra]!"


    When Elder Zhuang heard these four words, he was immediately shocked and his face paled as he said, "Oh, what did you discover?!"


    Little Flower said, "I got an idea now!"


    Elder Zhuang got up and said with a sigh, "Back then, there was someone who stirred up the entire martial arts world just to compete for this < < Magpie Heart Sutra > >. I thought that after so many years, everyone would have forgotten about this matter. "As a person in the know, you must not pursue this matter any further. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire!"


    Hua Xiao said sadly, "Master, you also know that people are in the martial arts world and cannot control themselves. Even if I want to leave now, I''m afraid it''s too late! "


    Elder Zhuang was stunned, "Why do you say that?!"


    Xiao Shuren looked up at the ceiling and said: "Friend, you''ve followed me for most of the day, can you show yourself now?!"


    A wanton laughter came from the rooftop. Then, a man wearing night clothes jumped into the yard. When the beggars outside heard the laughter, they rushed into the yard with their dogs and surrounded the man in black.


    Little Flower walked out of the run-down temple under Elder Zhuang''s lead. Elder Zhuang waved his hand to indicate to the other brothers not to move first, and then said seriously: "Friends from the martial arts world, how may I help you?!"


    The black clothed man turned around, cupping both his hands, and said: "As the saying goes, do not visit the Three Treasures Hall unless it''s something important! I only came here for one purpose: Let Little Flower tell you the secret of the < Bian Que Heart Sutra >! "


    He was dressed entirely in black, and his voice sounded as hoarse as a piece of scrap metal. The gold-plated mask he wore was extremely eye-catching under the sun''s rays.


    After Elder Zhuang examined the man in black for a while, he said, "Since your esteemed self wants to know the secret of the so-called < Bian Que Heart Sutra >, can you take off the mask on your face to express your sincerity?!"


    The black clothed man immediately laughed wildly, and after a long while, he suddenly stopped, and then pointed at Elder Zhuang: "Old man Zhuang, what should I do? "I don''t want to cause any more trouble today. Tell your beloved disciple to tell me his secret, and when I find out, I will leave without any worries. Otherwise, I will massacre your Brotherhood branch!"


    He took a few steps forward and with a loud voice, he said: "How could we allow a shameless bastard like you to act so arrogantly here, could it be that you want to bully our gang?!"


    The black clothed man stood there motionlessly with his hands behind his back. He laughed dryly and said, "Ignorant disciple, if it wasn''t for the fact that I want to know the secret of the < Magpie Heart Sutra >, killing you would be as easy as chopping a melon. I advise you not to not know what''s good for you! Hurry up and speak your mind otherwise don''t blame this old man for being impolite! "


    Little Flower saw that this guy''s tone was so arrogant. He originally wanted to teach him a lesson to vent his anger, but who knew that he would keep on being rude. Thus, he used the "Predator Dog Repellent Palm" that Elder Zhuang had taught him and slapped towards the black clothed man.


    This set of palm techniques was a set of palm techniques that Elder Zhuang had come up with after he went out to beg for dog bites countless times. This palm technique didn''t seem to have any tricks to it, but it seemed to have its own moves. It defeated an opponent with surprise at every turn, making it impossible to guard against. The whole set of palm techniques was based on three, with the instinct to the left and the instinct to the right; when you saw through his path, he did it in reverse. In this way, no one would be able to guess or make a move.


    The black clothed man stood motionlessly as he saw the cry of the flower clap towards him.


    Little Flower saw that the palm was about to land on the black clothed man''s body, but the black clothed man did not move an inch. He guessed that there must be a trick behind this. Thus, he had to retreat in order to advance. His palm strike had a left-to-right force, and he used the other hand to strike out with full force.


    At this moment, Little Flower''s palm was about to land on the black clothed man''s chest. The black clothed man calmly raised a hand. It seemed to be extremely slow, but his grip was just right, accurately grabbing Little Flower''s hand and tossing it away. At this moment, Little Flower was like a kite, without any weight, and he heavily threw Little Flower onto the broken wall of the temple, falling onto the ground.


    The man in black tightened his wrist, then looked at Elder Zhuang and said, "Zhuang Yaner, you are considered one of the top figures in the martial arts world. I didn''t expect your disciple''s martial arts to be so poor." Then he said to Little Flower, "Young man, stop being so stubborn, tell me the secret, I will never kill you, and I will also treat you well. I will absolutely not be like those bandits in the village, and I will also never be like him, wearing rags all day long, eating with me, drinking with beautiful women, everything, what do you say?!"


    When Elder Zhuang saw how much this person despised him, he shouted, "Ignorant madman, today, I, Zhuang Shenglong, will fight you to the death!"


    The black-clothed person laughed mischievously, and said provocatively: "Zhuang Yang''er, just forget about your body! If I fight with you, I''m afraid people in the martial arts world will say that I am bullying the weak! "


    Zhuang Shenglong walked to the opposite of the black clothed man and rolled his sleeves as he put on a posture. He spread out his hands and said: "I, Zhuang family, have not fought for many years, today, let''s have a good fight! Cut the crap, come on! "

 C16

    The black clothed man sneered and said, "Zhuang Yang''er, you haven''t made a move in so many years, how about I let you make a few moves first?!"


    Elder Zhuang gave a loud shout but didn''t say anything else. His figure flashed as he consecutively used several ultimate moves.


    When the black-clothed man saw that Elder Zhuang was about to attack him, he only dodged without attacking him. Just as each palm was about to hit him, he dodged like a ghost.


    Elder Zhuang had already used more than ten moves in a row, yet his opponent''s clothes weren''t even touched at all. He was secretly shocked in his heart: It seems that his opponent isn''t an average person! As a result, he focused his attention and sank his Qi into his Dantian. He focused his mind and continuously made several palm strikes.


    The black clothed person calmly dodged a dozen of Elder Zhuang''s palms and floated to the side saying, "Zhuang Yang''er, I''ve let you go for a long time. I can''t help but want to make my move!"


    With that, he suddenly pushed forward with both of his palms, and a gust of wind, which was mixed with the tiles on the yard wall, flew towards Elder Zhuang like a huge dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, wanting to swallow him up.


    Elder Zhuang''s body swayed in the gale of the palm like force. He quickly took a step forward and sunk into his dantian, using his strongest technique, the "Thirteen Kongtong Movement", to defend himself. He was not easy to pass down, and even Little Flower had not yet succeeded in teaching him. He had originally planned to teach Little Flower to him after he grew up, but Little Flower had never been by his side. Furthermore, someone had to give him some pointers and take care of him. Therefore, when Elder Zhuang used this skill, he was already supported by the others to sit on the ground and exclaim in surprise.


    When the black-clothed man saw Elder Zhuang use the "Thirteen Forms of Kongtong," he smiled sinisterly, then struck out with a single hand. Although the power behind this palm strike was not as great as the one just now, it was superior to all of the Zhen Qi condensed in the palm strike, and had an extremely strong penetrative power.


    When Elder Zhuang saw the speed of this palm, his brain hurt from the sound wave that came first. He wanted to circulate his power to defend himself, but his brain went blank from the sound wave, as if he was an idiot and couldn''t move.


    After everyone heard a ringing sound, Elder Zhuang stood motionlessly where he was without moving. His four limbs were stiff and his seven orifices were covered in blood. The palm energy passed through Elder Zhuang''s body, leaving a transparent hole with five fingers. After a while, his body crashed onto the ground.


    Little Flower saw his master miserably killed by the black-clothed man, grit his teeth in grief, struggled to stand up, and staggered to Elder Zhuang''s side. Seeing his master, who was still teaching him in Dunton just a moment ago, now lose his life, he couldn''t help but be filled with grief and indignation, suddenly turning around, his bloodshot eyes stared fiercely at the black-clothed man, and shouted with a trembling voice: "I will fight to the death with you today! Hand over your life! "


    With that, Little Flower channeled the rest of his true qi through his body and suddenly soared into the air, using all the strength in his body to continuously send out a few palm strikes.


    When the man in black saw Little Flower attacking him without sparing his life, he was shocked and quickly dodged to the left and right.


    Little Flower Blossom repeatedly struck the air. She knew that the black-clothed man wanted to know about the secret of < The Bian Que Heart Sutra >, so she didn''t dare to hurt him. She couldn''t help moaning in her heart when she realized that her zhenqi was almost exhausted.


    The group of brothers who had been standing in front of the door earlier all joined in the battle as well.


    The black clothed man chuckled and said: "Truly a praying mantis trying to block a chariot. It seems like I am going to massacre your gang today!" After saying that, he turned around, and the cloak worn by the black clothed man caused the surrounding gang members to tumble over several times.


    The eyes of the gang members were bloodshot. They helped their injured brothers to put them aside, and then they all raised their sticks to surround the man in black.


    After the black clothed man broke through a few waves of attacks, he jumped out of the encirclement. Then, he extended his hands and a black hurricane, which was like a demonic wind, once again attacked the crowd.


    Little Flower knew how powerful this palm was and quickly dodged it with a flip of his body. However, everyone had already lost all reason. They gathered together again and charged towards the black-clothed man without a single care in the world.


    This palm would truly take the lives of everyone present. When he thought about how his master had gone through so much difficulty to take care of this division, although he didn''t have the ability to help his master, at the very least, he couldn''t let his master suffer such a calamity before his death. This thought only lasted for a split-second. At this moment, Little Flower no longer cared about thinking about it and hastily leaped in front of everyone.


    When the black-clothed man saw this scene, he was also stunned. He wanted to immediately retract his palm attack. However, he didn''t turn his head to shoot. Although he had retracted his force, he couldn''t retract the palm energy that had just been shot out even if the Daoist Immortals came.


    It looked like the black dragon''s gale was about to hit Little Flower.


    At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in purple silk clothes flew out from behind the broken temple. He landed behind Little Flower and used his palm to hit the wind. The man in black took a few steps back. The black clothed man looked at Little Cry Flower in surprise, then suddenly realized that there was a person standing next to Little Calling Flower. "He was dressed in purple silk clothing, and his face was pale. His face was like a woman''s, and the rouge on both sides of his face was enough to make a man shiver.


    The man in purple did not say a single word. He picked up his cries of flowers and jumped onto the roof of the broken temple like a meteor ¡­


    The black-clothed man was shocked, seeing this person dressed like a eunuch, he became suspicious. He then looked at the purple-clothed man standing on the roof, holding Little Flower in one hand, smiling as he looked at him.


    The black clothed man exclaimed: "Who are you? How dare you interfere with our business?! "


    The eunuch smiled sinisterly, but he did not reply. He picked up Little Flower, turned around, and left in a flash.


    The man in black immediately jumped up to give chase, but the eunuch was quick. In a moment, the man in black was no longer able to see the two of them.


    After resting for a while, he walked in front of Little Flower and said with a smile: "Young Hero is a true hero, he sacrificed himself to repay the debt of gratitude, and was loyal to him. We thought it was too much of a pity for such a genius to die, so we couldn''t help but take action!"


    Xiao Shuren struggled to get up to thank him: "Thank you for your righteous act just now, this junior will not forget the grace of saving my life!"


    The purple-clothed eunuch laughed, twirling his orchid fingers and said: "Our family is originally incomplete, and only wants to serve master in the palace, and does not want to get involved in the conflicts in the martial arts world. Today we have made an exception, in the future, do not ever talk about meeting me in front of other people, do not forget this!"


    Little Hua lowered her head and agreed.


    The eunuch in purple looked at the two of them and said sternly, "Then we will bid our farewells and meet again!" Just as he was about to leave, Little Flower called out to him. Little Flower stubbornly asked, "I have to trouble you to tell me your name, or else we won''t be able to live through it!"


    The purple-clothed eunuch raised his head and laughed a few times before leaping into the forest. From afar, he could still hear a poem he recited, "Floating ducks have no roots, but night doves sleep on branches." The bitter rain brings with it the autumn wind, and the cry of the sword of the martial arts world! "

 C17

    Little Flower looked at the departing back of the purple robed eunuch and was secretly glad that he had met such an expert. Otherwise, he would have been wiped out by the calamity that had befallen him today.


    Since the man in black had to search for the secret of the < Bian Que of the Magpie > from a young age, he didn''t try to kill her. Little Flower waited for the eunuch in purple clothes to leave before enduring the pain of losing his teacher. He calmed his heart, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate his Qi to regulate his breathing.


    Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng were walking around the streets, constantly threatening the beggars whenever they saw them. Some of the tough beggars couldn''t help but start fighting Murong Feng when they saw him provoking the gang.


    After Murong Feng sent out a group of beggars that he had just fought, he said to the rest of the people, "I say, all of you are too ungrateful. Every time we meet this kind of situation, all of us are like unmoving lords. As he finished speaking, he patted Zhang Lin Xuan''s arm and said, "Heh, wood person, I worked and helped, so you owe me a great deal. Next time, it''s your turn to help out yourself!"


    Zhang Linxuan smiled and said, "Brother Murong, your kung fu is peerless. There are many capable people!"


    Huang''er sarcastically said, "Some people flaunt their skills in front of others just because they have put in a bit of effort. They are afraid that others won''t know how amazing they are!" This was what it meant to attract attention! Anyone who does this generally has an inferiority complex. I said, Great Hero Mu Rong, I didn''t know that you have such an inferiority complex! "


    When Murong Feng heard Huang''er''s words, he instantly felt angry. He flung his sleeves and hastily walked forward.


    Zhang Lin Xuan saw that Lin Ming was truly angry and hastily ran forward to console him.


    Seeing Murong Feng''s expression, Xu Yingdao smiled at Huang''er, "I think Young Miss and Brother Mu Rong must have been enemies in their past life. If the two of you didn''t bicker for a long time, we would have felt very lonely!"


    Huang''er said with a straight face: "Who is his enemy? Who the hell is his enemy!"


    Cai Daoping, who was standing on the other side, drank a mouthful of his wine and pretended to be serious as he said, "Yes, my junior must not be enemies with Great Hero Murong. She is truly enemies with that wooden man!"


    Huang''er playfully hit Cai Daoping, pouted and said, "Hmph, I''m not talking to Second Senior Brother anymore. You''re always teasing me!" After saying that, he sped up his pace to chase after the two people in front.


    Xu Yingtou and Cai Daoping looked at each other before simultaneously looking up and laughing out loud. Huang''er, who was walking in front, saw that the two people behind her were making fun of her and blushed. She hurriedly lowered her head and chased after the two people in front of her.


    Zhang Lin Xuan was trying to persuade Murong Feng, and upon hearing the laughter behind him, he hurriedly turned around to look. Huang''er lowered her head and blushed like a docile and cute kitten as she obediently followed behind him.


    Looking at Huang''er''s expression, Murong Feng knew that the two old men behind her were making fun of them. He pretended to sigh loudly and spread out the fan. He looked ahead and said, "Hey, some people have such strong mouths, but I didn''t expect their faces to be so thin. They even know how to blush?"


    After these past few days of contact, he knew that Huang''er had a very strong personality. If he didn''t stop Murong Feng now, the two of them would definitely argue again. Originally, everyone was just joking around, but if they were to offend a side, then the situation wouldn''t be tidied up. Therefore, he said to Murong Feng and Huang''er, "Brother Murong, Miss Huang, please stop bickering. Right now, the most important thing is to find Little Flower and find out about the Black Fiend and the Annihilation Sword. But we''ve been searching for a long time, and we still don''t know where the Bastard''s Division is. Is our method not working?! "


    When Murong Feng heard Zhang Lin Xuan''s words, he frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, he suddenly put away his fan, glanced at Huang''er who was tilting his head to the side with confidence, and said, "Miss Huang, how is it? Your mouth is so sharp, but have you thought of a way?! "


    Huang''er saw Murong Feng''s complacent expression and was filled with unwillingness. Her forehead rose as she stroked the hair on her shoulders and pouted: "What''s so amazing about that? Just stand to the side and don''t say anything. I''ll find it in less than an hour!"


    As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan heard this he was able to find Little Flower Bai. He found this unbelievable, so he asked Huang''er, "Miss Huang, is that true?!"


    Murong Feng placed both hands on his chest, a look of disdain on his face. He saw Zhang Linxuan eagerly looking at Huang''er and gave a cold snort. He said, "Don''t blow your bullshit too much. Won''t you feel embarrassed if you can''t round it up later?!"


    Without waiting for Huang''er to speak, Zhang Lin Xuan stepped forward, patted Murong Feng''s arm, and said, "Brother Murong, I believe in Miss Huang. She said she definitely will!"


    Murong Feng rolled his eyes at Zhang Lin Xuan and nudged him with his elbow. He said, "It seems that you''ll definitely be a deaf person in the future!"


    Huang''er, who was standing at the side, was too embarrassed to go over, so she did not hear what they were saying. She said to them: "I will go alone and find out where the Cousin Lin An''s Division is located. You guys can go to the teahouse in front of us and strike a blow. When I find a place, I will use Dysprosium as my signal. I will leave marks along the way, marks that my second senior brother and Xu Dai will recognize! "


    As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan heard that Huang''er was going to barge into the branch of the Beggar Gang alone, he hurriedly tried to stop her crazy thoughts. Seeing the three youngsters discussing something, the two people who were far behind immediately approached them to inquire about the situation.


    Both of them listened to Huang''er''s thoughts. Xu Que looked at Cai Daoping and asked, "Shopkeeper, what do you think about this matter?"


    Cai Douping took a sip of his wine and said, "Since young, Junior Martial Sister has been crawling around in the martial arts world, trying to break into the side of the gang. Don''t make such a big fuss! However, Junior Sister, you must remember this! " He then turned around and told Huang''er, "If you encounter an emergency, remember to make sure you don''t cry out Dysprosium!"


    When Huang''er saw how trusting her second senior brother was, she was extremely happy and agreed to his request. Then he said to everyone, "Everyone, rest assured. You will drink some tea and eat some pastries in the teahouse. After hearing the ringing sound of Dysprosium, come and join me!" As he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Lin Xuan with a deep and meaningful glance, then turned around and left.


    As Zhang Lin Xuan watched Huang''er''s figure skipping away, his heart was filled with worry. Murong Feng teased, "Brother Zhang, you don''t have to worry. Your future wife will definitely be fine. Even if something happens, as long as she says the Long''s Might Escort Office''s signboard, the gang won''t dare to do anything to her!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan looked into the distance and said to Murong Feng, "Brother Murong, please don''t say that she is my fianc¨¦e. We are all friends. Isn''t it normal to be worried about your safety?"


    Murong Feng smiled and said, "You''re being stubborn now, but your words and actions have betrayed you. Do you understand?!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan didn''t continue speaking. He turned to the other two and said, "Let''s go to the teahouse and find a table next to the window. What do you think?"

 C18

    After Zhang Lin Xuan said this, he immediately thought of how he had ignored Murong Feng. So he said to Murong Feng, "Brother Murong, you go first!"


    After the four of them ordered tea and pastries, they sat at a table near the window and drank their tea. In order to stay awake, Cai had to keep drinking.


    The other three were drinking tea, eating cakes and chatting with each other. Only Zhang Lin Xuan was standing off to the side, completely focused on looking out of the window. Occasionally, he would hear the sound of an artillery barrage that would cause him to stretch his neck out to look around.


    When the other three saw him like this, they couldn''t stop teasing him. In fact, even he didn''t know why he always felt worried for Huang Jiahui even though he hadn''t known her for long. As long as he met her gaze, his heart would pound wildly and his mind would be a mess. Especially when he saw her smiling face, his heart was filled with joy. If he didn''t see her, he would feel like he was living a long life. He always hoped that in the next second, she would appear as a familiar figure.


    At this moment, Huang''er had gotten a tattered coat from somewhere, and on her head was a tattered felt hat. She had a huge face, and she held a stick in her hand, and whenever she touched a beggar, she would ask, "Brother, I want to find the owner of our territory. Do you know where he is?" "All the beggars shook their heads.


    She questioned all the beggars who were two kilometers away, but found nothing. Just as she was about to give up and return to the teahouse, she inadvertently discovered that she was being followed.


    She calmed herself down and didn''t walk far before seeing an alley in front of her. She pretended that nothing had happened as she walked into the alley and discovered that there were many forks in the word "Well" in the alley. Thus, she walked for a distance before stopping. After confirming that her pursuer had caught up with her, she quickly turned left at a fork in the road.


    The one following Huang''er was a middle-aged beggar. His eyes were bright and full of spirit. When he suddenly realized that he had not seen Huang''er, he quickly withdrew his legs and walked forward.


    When he reached the fork in the road, he was stopped by Huang''er, who had been lying in ambush.


    Huang''er walked up to him and asked, "Why are you following me?"


    The middle-aged beggar disdainfully replied, "You''ve been asking us all over the streets to find out where the Linan Division is. Of course, I''m here to find out what exactly you want to do!"


    Huang''er said, "I''ve also just arrived at the precious location. I must find the organization first!"


    The middle-aged beggar revealed a stiff smile and said, "Lady really knows how to joke, you are not the disciple of the Beggar Gang, why would you look for some organization for no reason?!"


    Huang''er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Hey, isn''t this uncle of yours simple? "How do you know I''m not from the gang!"


    The middle-aged beggar snorted and said: "If you were a disciple of my sect, would you dare to treat me like this?!"


    Hearing his words, Huang''er looked him up and down and saw that the middle-aged beggar''s clothes were in tatters, and his hair was dirty. He looked no different from an ordinary beggar, except that the cloth around his waist had a few more seams on it than the others.


    Ever since Huang''er was young, she had heard her father, Huang Zhenglong, talk about the ''Beggar''s Gang'' and had forgotten about it. Thus, she silently counted the pockets of the middle-aged beggar. There were actually seven pockets.


    Huang''er immediately understood. This person must be the Deputy Helmsman of the Beggar Gang at Lin An Branch!


    Therefore, he hastily undid the middle-aged beggar''s acupoints and apologized profusely, "I was blind to not recognize Mt. Tai, please forgive me!"


    The middle-aged beggar stretched his back and said indifferently: "Alright, little girl. I, Song, already knew that you weren''t from the Beggar Gang, so you don''t have to pretend! Speak, what business do you have with our Beggar''s Gang?! "


    Seeing that her trick had been seen through by this crafty beggar, Huang''er didn''t try to hide it any longer and said: "I came here to look for the Little Flower!"


    The middle-aged beggar was stunned. "I didn''t hear about his arrival!"


    Huang''er said, "It seems that Senior''s information isn''t well-received. We''ve met this morning!"


    The middle-aged beggar exclaimed and then muttered to himself, "I can''t. I should know when he''s here!"


    At this moment, a beggar with a flustered expression ran over and whispered into the beggar''s ear. The middle-aged beggar''s expression suddenly became heavy, and his eyes were filled with horror.


    After the beggar that came to report the news, he gestured for him to leave first. Then, he said to Huang''er, "Something big just happened to me. I urgently need to go back now. Farewell!" With that, he cupped his hands and was about to leave.


    Huang''er said, "Senior, how about I go with you?"


    The middle-aged beggar''s mind was in a mess as he said, "Fine, you can follow me, but I can''t guarantee that Little Flower will definitely be at this rudder!"


    As soon as Huang''er saw the beggar of the year, she guessed that a great event must have occurred in the Beggar''s Gang. Otherwise, with the power of the middle-aged beggar, he wouldn''t have appeared in such a chaotic situation, so she answered: "Rest assured, Senior, if he really isn''t with you, then it is the will of the heavens. Don''t force him!"


    Huang''er followed the middle-aged beggar for about an hour. It was already dusk, and they had walked through many streets. When they arrived at the entrance of a desolate and dilapidated old temple, they saw many ragged beggars standing in front of the door to welcome them.


    Seeing that the time was right, Huang''er took out Dysprosium from her sleeve and threw it into the sky. There was a loud bang, and a plume of white smoke appeared in the sky.


    The beggars saw Huang''er''s signal and immediately surrounded her with their sticks.


    The middle-aged beggar glared at Huang''er and said loudly, "Speak! Just why did you send the signal?! "


    Huang''er calmly said: "Fellow brothers, I do not have any ill intentions. I am only notifying my friends that I am here and that they should come to meet me! Everyone, don''t be nervous! "


    The middle-aged beggar sneered, and said: "As long as you don''t have any malicious intent, then in order to protect ourselves, we will have to inconvenience the lady now! Come on, tie her up for me! Wait until her accomplices arrive and we can discuss it after we confirm it! "


    Out of the four people in the teahouse, only Zhang Linxuan was looking outside with a dazed expression. Even a small sound could cause him to immediately become alert. The other two people had already finished their tea. The waiter had already refilled their cups of water for them three times. Only a few people had left to drink their tea. Cai Daoping was already drunk to the point of collapse. The other two were bored out of their minds as they looked in that direction. Occasionally, they would speak a word to each other.


    Suddenly, an explosion sound faintly came from the northwest sky. Zhang Lin Xuan immediately stood up to look, and then a cloud of white smoke appeared in the sky. He shouted to the other three people, "I''ve found it! I found it! "

 C19

    Murong Feng heard Zhang Lin Xuan shouting and quickly got up to check out the situation. He saw a white fog appear in the northwest corner of the sky. He rubbed his chin and said, "This Miss Huang is not bad at all!"


    Xu also went to the window, after confirming that it was the Dysprosium Tincture by Huang''er, he patted Cai Daoping, who was sleeping.


    At this time, Cai Daoping was sleeping soundly. He was woken up by Xu Yingdao and felt extremely unwilling. He slowly got up and was about to stretch to clear his mind. In the end, Zhang Lin Xuan couldn''t help but pull him up and run out.


    Huang''er was tied up by a few beggars and dragged into the courtyard of the ruined temple. As soon as Huang''er entered the courtyard, she was frightened by the scene before her.


    There were at least forty to fifty corpses lying in the yard. Most of them were missing arms and legs, and some of them had even turned into a pile of meat paste. The room was filled with the smell of blood.


    The middle-aged beggar slowly squatted in front of an old man. His trembling hands tightly held the old man''s hand as he cried.


    Huang''er saw that the old man was bleeding from his seven orifices, and his eyes were wide open. His chest had been penetrated by someone else''s palm strike, leaving a hole with five fingers.


    The middle-aged beggar called over the first person to see what had happened, and asked, "Have you found any survivors?"


    The beggar shook his head and said, "When I came here, I just happened to see a man in black jump over the wall and run away!"


    The middle-aged beggar hastily asked, "Did you see what the man in black looks like?"


    The beggar said, "I only saw him wearing a golden mask! I think that he isn''t someone to be trifled with. It''s possible that he was too busy doing other things to notice me, otherwise I might not be able to keep my life! "


    Hearing his words, the middle-aged beggar patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, I understand! "Go back to your work!" He tidied up his depressed expression, walked to Huang''er and said: "Miss, you saw it too, it''s not that we don''t believe you, but when your friends come, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer!"


    Huang''er said, "I came here to look for Little Flower. I just didn''t want to cause any more trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn''t care about any of you!"


    The middle-aged beggar looked at Huang''er and said, "What a boastful tone you have there! I, Song, am also going to help these dead people take care of their aftermath. I don''t have time to waste on you, if I confirm that it wasn''t caused by you and your friends later on, I will definitely apologize to you! It''s just that I''m afraid I''ll have to inconvenience Miss Mu right now! "I''ll be going now!" Having said so, he instructed the beggar next to him to shake his head and take good care of the situation, but he didn''t want to make things difficult for Huang''er. He then went to the dilapidated temple to busy himself with other matters.


    Little Ming had been recovering from his injuries in the forest for a long time. When he opened his eyes, he saw the blood-red sun slowly setting over the mountains. He looked at the blood-red sun, suppressing the pain in his heart, and decided that he would arrange for his master''s future affairs before he investigated the black-clothed man''s background.


    Zhang Lin Xuan and his group followed the mark left by Huang''er and arrived at the entrance of the ruined temple. He saw a lot of beggars going in and out of the broken temple, looking very busy.


    As soon as Zhang Linxuan saw that there were beggars standing in front of the door, he hurriedly said to the other three, "It seems like this is undoubtedly Lin An''s division!" Then, he shouted as he walked, "Miss Huang, are you inside?!"


    Mu Rong Feng teased Xu Ying, "How anxious is this kid?!"


    Just as Zhang Linxuan was about to enter, he was stopped by two beggars holding sticks. They said, "Young Hero, please wait!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan looked at them and said, "Did you send a girl here not long ago?" We are her friends! "


    When the two beggars heard that Zhang Linxuan was the young lady''s friend, they took up their sticks and blocked his path. They shouted to the others, "Quickly report this to Elder Song!"


    Zhang Linxuan saw that something was wrong and anxiously asked, "Where did you hide that girl just now?!"


    "Master Zhang, I''m inside!" Hurry and save me! " A yellow voice came from the courtyard and entered Zhang Lin Xuan''s ears.


    As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan heard Huang''er''s voice and knew that Miss Huang was in a bad situation, he grabbed the sticks from the two beggars and flung them far away.


    When Murong Feng saw that Zhang Lin Xuan and the Beggar Gang had started fighting, he said to Leader Xu: "Take care of Shopkeeper Cai, I''ll go help him!" After he finished speaking, he jumped to Zhang Lin Xuan''s side and said, "Little brother, I''ve come to help you!"


    Zhang Linxuan turned around and said, "On behalf of Miss Huang, I thank you very much!" Finished. The two of them got into position, ready to fight with the dozen beggars around them!


    At this moment, a middle-aged beggar walked out from the yard and shouted, "All of you, stop!" Then, with a wave of her hand, Huang''er was pushed out of the room by two beggars.


    As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan heard someone call out to him to stop, he looked over and saw Huang''er tied up in all kinds of bundles, standing beside the middle-aged beggar with an embarrassed expression on her face.


    At this moment, the middle-aged beggar said to Zhang Linxuan and Murong Feng, "Friends from the underworld, I wonder if you have any advice for us today?"


    Before Zhang Lin Xuan could say anything, Murong Feng took out a fan and leisurely said, "You are the so-called Elder Song, right?!"


    Elder Song looked at Murong Feng and said, "I am indeed, may I ask how may I help you?!"


    Murong Feng smiled and said, "I don''t dare to accept your advice. Your Beggar Gang can be considered a big sect in the martial arts world. With so many lords tying a little girl, aren''t you afraid of being laughed at by others?!"


    Elder Song replied: "It''s a stopgap measure, please forgive me!"


    Murong Feng calmly replied, "Oh? Is that so?! Then I hope that Elder Song can enlighten me on what is called an expedient plan?! "


    Elder Song said, "We were attacked today, and you guys happened to be looking for our division''s position in Linan City. It''s hard to say if this attack has nothing to do with it!"


    When Zhang Linxuan heard that the branch of the Beggar Clan had been attacked, he asked, "Little Flower, are you still alive?!"


    Elder Song said: "We still haven''t found his corpse. I hope he''s still alive!"


    Then, he turned around to look at Huang''er, then looked at Zhang Linxuan and the others, and asked, "Are you really looking for Lil ''Hua?!"


    Murong Feng continued to ask, "Did any of you see the murderer''s face? How many people are there in total?! "


    Elder Song sighed and said: "Those who were attacked on the spot were all silenced! Otherwise, we wouldn''t have been so passive! "

 C20

    Murong Feng chuckled and said: "Elder Song, you haven''t even seen your opponent''s face clearly, yet you''re so sure that it''s us?!" Please forgive me for not agreeing with you! "


    Elder Song''s face reddened, he knew that he was in the wrong, but he did not lose face in front of his subordinates, and said: "Just now, this lady''s actions were very easy to cause people to misunderstand, especially when she immediately released Dysprosium upon reaching our rudder, we then tied her down, where it is inappropriate, please forgive us!" After saying that, he walked up to Huang''er and untied her.


    Huang''er waited for Elder Song to untie her rope and gave him a glare. She gave him a fierce snort, then said: "I didn''t expect the people from the Beggar Gang to be so stupid!"


    Elder Song stood there not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Zhang Linxuan hurriedly walked over to Huang''er''s side and asked with concern, "Miss Huang, they didn''t make things difficult for you, right?!" Huang''er looked warmly at Zhang Lin Xuan and shook her head.


    Elder Song straightened his expression and said: "My lady''s teachings are correct. I, Song, did not consider the situation thoroughly and wronged my lady. On behalf of the Beggar to help Lin An, I apologize to my lady!" As he finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Huang''er.


    Seeing that Elder Song was sincere in apologizing, Huang''er didn''t make things difficult for him anymore.


    He didn''t know when, but Cai DaoPing and Xu Dazhi had already walked up. Seeing that they had reconciled, Xu Dazhi took a step forward to reveal Huang''er''s identity and why he was here.


    When Elder Song saw that it was a friend from the martial arts world, he explained the situation inside the temple, and then said: "As long as I see Little Flower, I will definitely inform him of the purpose of your visit, because I have to take care of the affairs of the dead, so I won''t let you in, so that you won''t feel uncomfortable looking at him!"


    With that, Elder Song bid farewell to everyone and hurried into the temple.


    After Zhang Lin Xuan and the others understood the situation, they no longer planned to wait here for Little Flower. Murong Feng suggested that since Little Flower couldn''t be found now, why not go back to the escort office and take a look at that patricide sword and maybe find some clues about it. As for the matter of Zhang Lin Xuan searching for the Black Fiend, there was no such thing as Little Flower. The only thing he could do was search for Little Flower at the Jun Mountain Meeting. He would definitely be there during the annual Beggar''s Gang Great Meeting.


    They looked at each other and stayed silent for a while. They couldn''t think of a better way for a while and all agreed to Murong Xuan''s suggestion.


    Thus, everyone looked at the solemn and sorrowful atmosphere outside the broken temple, and then returned to the Longwei Escort Office through the same road.


    At this moment, the sky had already darkened, and the lanterns by the street all lit up at the same time.


    On the street, Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng were walking behind the other three. Murong Feng was fanning himself with a paper fan as he looked around at the night scenery of the street. Zhang Lin Xuan, however, was staring at Huang''er''s back.


    Seeing Zhang Lin Xuan''s shy appearance, Murong Feng felt like his lungs were about to explode from anger. Thus, he ruthlessly shoved Zhang Lin Xuan from the back. Zhang Lin Xuan wasn''t paying attention at the moment and staggered a few steps forward, nearly knocking Huang''er over. Zhang Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Murong Feng, vexed. He grumbled softly, "What are you doing?!"


    Seeing Zhang Lin Xuan''s expression, Murong Feng gritted his teeth and said, "He really is a fool!"


    Huang''er walked behind Cai Dao Ping and Xu Yingying, and she had always vaguely sensed that someone was looking at her from behind. As she turned her head slightly, she quickly glanced behind her and discovered that it was Zhang Lin Xuan who was looking at her from behind. Seeing his silly appearance, Huang''er quickly covered her mouth and thought to herself: Actually, Zhang Lin Xuan is quite a nice person. When she felt that Zhang Lin Xuan had been pushed up by Murong Feng and was about to knock her down, her heart tightened and she immediately stood there stupidly. However, Zhang Lin Xuan had tried his best to control himself from touching her.


    It wasn''t easy for them to get to the Longwei Security Office, but as soon as Cai Daoping entered the office, he seemed to have no intention of being restrained outside. As soon as they arrived at the main hall, they loudly asked Liu Qing to prepare food, saying that they had starved to death.


    After a long time, Cai Daoping still didn''t see Liu Qing coming over, so he hastily called the servant standing outside the door to ask if he saw Liu Qing. The servant said that he saw Liu Qing helping in the kitchen near dusk, but he hadn''t seen her for some time. She liked to stay in her room when she had nothing better to do and didn''t like coming out. But ask the cooks, they should know.


    After a while, two of the kitchen staff arrived at the lobby. There was a man and a woman, both about fifty years old.


    When Cai asked about Liu Qing''s whereabouts, both of them said that they hadn''t seen her for a while after dinner.


    Thus, everyone came to her room. Huang''er knocked on the door, but there was no response. Cai Daoping, who was at the side, shouted loudly, "Liu Qing, are you in the house?!"


    Seeing her second senior brother being so rash, Huang''er couldn''t help but frown. She hastily made a silent gesture towards him, afraid that she would alarm the people in the room!


    After a while, there was still no sound from the house. Murong Feng made a gesture to have everyone disperse. Then, he pointed at the room, pointed at himself, and pointed at the roof. Zhang Linxuan nodded at him, indicating that he already understood.


    Murong Feng received it and walked over to the edge of the roof. With a leap, he jumped onto the roof. Seeing that Murong Feng had already silently reached the roof, Zhang Lin Xuan walked up to the opposite wooden door and pressed his hand on it. Then, he placed his hand on the door latch, and with a tap, everyone heard a crisp crack from behind the door. The door was opened, and the bolt that fell to the ground was broken in half by Zhang Lin Xuan''s palm strike.


    Xu Que walked in front with the candle in his hand. Everyone held their breath and carefully followed behind. Except for the faint breathing of the others, everything in the room was eerily quiet.


    Xu Que led the group to Liu Qing''s window and suddenly found a man in white clothes. His back was facing the crowd and was motionless.


    Everyone was shocked when they saw the man in white. This was because no one noticed anything amiss after entering. Seeing such a strange person walking in so suddenly, no one understood how he came in.


    After all, everyone here was from the martial world, so there was no need for them to scream or panic.


    Everyone was stunned as they saw the man in white slowly turn around. Huang''er''s heart was in her throat, but the experience in the martial arts world made her suppress her emotions, clear her throat, and asked with a trembling voice, "You ¡­ Is Human... Also... Or is it a ghost?! "


    The man in white turned around slowly and said, "Why are all of you playing tricks here?"

 C21

    When the crowd heard this man in white, they finally understood that this man in white was Murong Feng.


    When Huang''er saw that it was Murong Feng, she got angry and said sarcastically: "It''s the middle of the night and you still like to sneak around as a ghost. Don''t you know that people can scare people to death?!"


    This time, Murong Feng ignored her. He took the candle from Escort Xu and lit it up. Everyone looked around. All the items in the room were neatly arranged without any signs of a fight.


    Cai Daoping walked around the room a few times, and then stopped in front of Liu Qing''s wardrobe. He looked at the wardrobe door, and then used his hand to pull a small item by the door.


    Murong Feng saw Cai Daoping standing motionlessly in front of the wardrobe. He thought Cai Daoping had gone stupid again and wanted to go over to tease him. However, when he walked over to take a look, he saw that Cai Daoping had pulled out a piece of green cloth from the gap in the wardrobe.


    Murong Feng immediately stepped forward to open the door of the wardrobe. The closet was filled with Liu Qing''s usual clothes. Other than this green coloured shirt, everything else was arranged in a neat and orderly manner.


    Xu Bao moved his head forward to look at the situation in the wardrobe and said: "That girl, Liu Qing, usually likes to clean up, so it is impossible for her to mess up her wardrobe. Unless she changed her clothes in a hurry in an emergency, then she would throw all her clothes in the closet!"


    Huang''er asked Xu Yingdong, "Did Liu Qing say that she had relatives or friends in Linjian?!"


    Xu Que shook his head and said: "I remember that Liu Qing was brought here by the master at Chengdu City, she should not have any relatives or friends here. She usually stays at the escort office and rarely goes out, even if she has something to do, she would greet the people at the escort office!"


    Huang''er listened to Xu Yingtou''s narration and analyzed it: "Then based on what Xu Yingtou said, we can be sure that Liu Qing''s departure was premeditated. As for why she wanted to leave, everyone should gather our thoughts and analyze it together! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan stood motionlessly in front of Liu Qing''s dressing table. Murong Feng saw that he was born there, so he lightly tapped him with a fan. Murong Feng wanted to make things difficult for him by saying, "Brother Zhang, it''s time for you to show off!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan was lost in thought as he looked at the dressing table. After being knocked by Murong Feng, he broke out of his thoughts and asked in a daze, "What were you saying just now?!"


    Murong Feng asked, "Everyone is looking for where Miss Liu Qing went, but you are just standing there daydreaming. What are you thinking?"


    Zhang Lin Xuan touched his hair and said, "I was looking at the dressing table just now and didn''t see Miss Liu''s comb. I was thinking that if Miss Liu had really gone out and heard Xu Ying say that she was a tidy person, she should be combing her hair! But why hadn''t she combed her hair? This also confirmed what Xu Yingdao was thinking. She left in a hurry! Then, we will combine two things: firstly, she rushed out without informing anyone about it, and secondly, she changed her clothes when she went out! "


    Huang''er used an appreciative gaze to look at Zhang Linxuan. She smiled and said, "I didn''t think that Young Hero Zhang would be able to observe so much!"


    Murong Feng, who was standing at the side, held his breath and said in a sour tone, "Yo yo yo!" Miss Huang sure knows how to flatter people! Brother Zhang, after saying so much, you still haven''t come to a conclusion! "


    Huang''er said: "Isn''t this simple? Everyone, think about it. Under what circumstances would Liu Qing change out of her clothes and leave the escort company quietly?!"


    After saying that, Huang''er looked at everyone with great pride.


    Xu Que saw Huang''er''s confident look and said: "Eldest Miss, if you know the answer, then tell us! I am a straightforward person and do not like to beat around the bush! "


    Seeing that no one answered, Huang''er continued: "If you want to understand why Liu Qing went out in such a hurry, you might as well push it back. Firstly, why would she change her clothes? The answer is that she did not want others to see her, so she could only do it in secret! "


    Murong Feng retorted, "She wanted to do it in secret so that no one else would see. I don''t agree. What if she went out to meet her lover and didn''t want to tell you?!"


    Huang''er said: "What you say seems extremely reasonable, but don''t forget, she was in a hurry to change clothes, and then quietly went out! Besides, when a woman goes out, if she knows a lover, she should dress up. Haven''t you heard that women dress up for those who please themselves? It''s a bit far-fetched for you to say that! Therefore, this is only your subjective judgment, and cannot be used as a basis! "


    When Murong Feng heard this, he couldn''t accept it. He cupped his hands and said, "We are willing to listen to Miss Huang''s brilliant idea!"


    Huang''er knew that Murong Feng''s words were spiteful, but she didn''t pay attention to them and said: "She only has one reasonable explanation: She must have received an urgent order and needs to immediately carry it out, but she doesn''t want to reveal her true identity, so when no one was paying attention to her, she secretly changed into night clothes, sneaked out of the escort company, and went on a mission!"


    After Murong Feng heard Huang''er''s deduction, he clapped his hands and said, "Miss Huang is really imaginative. "But this is only your deduction. There is no other evidence that can prove your deduction. Solitary evidence cannot become evidence, so everything is just speculation!"


    Huang''er said, "Based on the current situation, that is indeed the case! Everyone in the room must remember that what we see and hear is not to be mentioned to outsiders! Leader Xu, please remember to tell everyone not to mention anything about Liu Qing''s disappearance tonight!


    "I really wonder what Liu Qing''s true identity is?" We should pay more attention to her in the future! " Huang''er said softly to herself as she lowered her head to think.


    Everyone carefully searched the room for a long time, but was unable to find any clues. Cai Daoping stood at the side, complaining that it was time to worship his five viscera temple! Thus, everyone carefully put the items inside Liu Qing''s room back into their original places, left the room, and went to the main hall to eat.


    Dong Song Chen paced back and forth in the corner of the street, but he still hadn''t seen the man in black from last night. At this point in time, there was no one else on the street other than the soldiers and the gendarmes who were patrolling the street. Dong Song Chen looked further out into the distance. Other than darkness, there was nothing else, so he started to walk in circles again.


    After an unknown period of time, two black spots appeared on the rooftop in the distance. Under the yellow and white moonlight, the two black dots headed towards Dong Song Chen, getting closer and closer. When they got closer, they saw that it was the man in black who wore the gold mask last night, leading a skinny figure.

    The black-clothed man wearing the gold-plated mask landed in front of Dong Song Chen. He took a deep breath and said mockingly, "Eunuch Dong must have been here for a long time, right?"


    Dong Song Chen turned around and looked at him and the other man in black, then flung his sleeves and said: "I am a man who keeps his word, unlike you, I will make you wait here bitterly! Why did you bring someone with you tonight? What kind of medicine is this?! "


    The man in black took two steps forward as he saw Dong Song Chen''s anger. He looked into the distance and said, "Eunuch Dong, we are working together, so don''t show off in front of me like you did in the palace. I won''t do that. As for the question you just asked, I''ll give you an answer right away! " After he finished speaking, the man in black turned around and looked straight at Dong Song Chen.


    Dong Song Chen looked at the man in black and chuckled. He then stroked his hair and said: "Is that so?! I want to see what tricks you can pull! " After saying that, he looked up and down at the skinny man in black beside him.


    The masked man in black spoke a few words to the other man in black. The skinny man in black gently took off his nightcap, and a pair of jet-black hair slowly slipped out from under it. When Dong Song Chen saw this, he sucked in a breath of cold air. But what he didn''t expect was still happening. He saw that after the woman had taken off her hat, she slowly took off the black cloth covering her face. It was actually Tang An''an!


    Dong Song Chen was so frightened that he retreated a few steps, pointed at the girl in black and asked: "Why did you bring Miss Tang here?! "What exactly do you mean?!"


    When the man in black saw Dong Song Chen flustered, he seemed to enjoy it and laughed out loud. He then placed his hand on the woman in black''s shoulder and said to Dong Song Chen, "I didn''t expect that Eunuch Dong would be scared too. It''s wonderful!"


    When Dong Song Chen saw the black-clothed man teasing him like this, he realized that he had lost his composure and steadied his mind. He then realized that the ''Miss Tang'' standing in front of him was somewhat different from the ''Miss Tang'' he knew.


    The man in black saw that Dong Song Chen did not say anything, so he patted the woman in black lightly. He walked up to Dong Song Chen, pointed at the woman in black and asked, "Eunuch Dong, what do you think of this Miss Tang?"


    He then turned to the woman in black and said, "Hurry up and greet Eunuch Dong. In the future, your days in the palace will depend on Eunuch Dong''s support!"


    The woman walked up to Dong Song Chen and made a ''blissful'' gesture. She then said to him, "This little girl pays her respect to Eunuch Dong!" After saying that, he glanced at Dong Song Chen from the corner of his eyes.


    Although Dong Song Chen was castrated, he was still a man. His body trembled when he was bewitched by the woman in black, but he pretended to be calm on the surface. He pinched the knuckles of his index finger with his thumb, then raised his hand in a gesture of abstinence. He then turned to the masked man in black and said, "You want me to bring her to the palace to confuse the Emperor?!"


    The black clothed man walked beside Dong Song Chen and said: "The Southern Song Dynasty is too impudent. Why don''t you and I work together to control the Emperor. After this is done, we can have him give in to us. We can divide the world equally, what do you think?"


    Dong Song Chen looked at the man in black and walked to the side saying, "I am afraid it is not that simple." "Tell me, which country did you come from?"


    The man in black chuckled and said, "Eunuch Dong, I shall do my best not to ask too much about this. I know every move you make in the palace like the back of my hand. As long as you achieve this goal, I''ll help you find the < Bian Magpie Heart Sutra >!"


    When Dong Song Chen heard that the black clothed man was going to help him find the < Magpie Heart Sutra >, he could not help but burst out laughing. Dong Song Chen said: "Didn''t you come to find me for the < Bian Que Heart Sutra > last night? Why are you so keen to help me find the < Bian Que Heart Sutra > now?!" Friend, don''t you have the truth in your mouth?! "


    The man in black sneered and said, "Do you know why so many martial artists are fighting over the < Bian Que Heart Sutra >?! If you knew, even if you lost your life, you would still go and snatch it right?! "


    Dong Song Chen said: "Isn''t it just a martial arts manual?! Our house is not sparse, only you so-called Jianghu people will treat it as a treasure, a bunch of grass and villagers. In the palace, as long as I want it, the Emperor will grant me what I want. As for you guys, if you want to compete for this < Magpie Heart Sutra >, you can compete for it yourselves. We don''t have the mood to fight over it! "


    The black clothed man shook his head and said, "I''m really pitiful for you. To think that you were still working hard for the Emperor, he didn''t even tell you the most important secret of the < Bian Qilin Heart Sutra >! Eunuch Dong, although you have heard of the rumors of the < Bian Que Heart Sutra >, but the most important part, which is the part that you need the most, is something that you still do not know! "


    Dong Song Chen was stunned again. He looked at the man in black and did not say a word. He thought to himself, "There are too many bizarre things tonight. Everything is out of my expectations. It seems like this man''s background is not simple!" So he asked: "What''s the most important part? We are very curious! "


    The black clothed person paused before replying, "Everyone knows that the < Bian Que Heart Sutra > is a martial arts technique, and once practiced, the martial arts will advance at a tremendous pace. Everyone knows this, but everyone underestimates the < Bian Que Heart Sutra >. This was the main point of < The Bian Que Heart Sutra >. In terms of the status of Eunuch Dong, he could be said to be below one person and above everyone else. But as a man who had once stood at the peak of heaven, this wasn''t what he wanted the most, was it?! Do you think I''m right? "Eunuch Dong!"


    The man in black dragged on the word ''father-in-law'' for a long time. Dong Song Chen clenched his fists when he heard it, his eyes were round, the muscles on his face were twitching, and his chest was heaving.


    The black clothed man saw that his sore spot had been poked, and continued: "Eunuch Dong, as long as we find the < Bian Magpie Heart Sutra >, once we master it, I will call you Brother Dong. What rights, money, beauties, everything a man should have, you and I will have a life like this!"


    Dong Song Chen calmed down after a long time, and said hysterically: "I have been sent to the palace by my parents since I was young, humiliated and still alive, but I do not blame my parents, but I do not blame fate for being so unfair to me, so I will fight against fate, when I serve my master, I will try my best to please them, and I just hope that when I grow old I will be able to return to the past. So when I am free, I will secretly find all kinds of martial arts manuals in the palace, and learn them to use them. After twenty years of hard work, I have finally found the opportunity to defeat fate!"

 C23

    When the black clothed man saw that his plan had succeeded, he stepped forward and comforted, "Brother Dong, as long as you and I work together, there will still be good days ahead. We will definitely overcome this obstacle easily."


    Dong Song Chen let out a long breath and said, "Alright, you and I are just using each other. Don''t put on an act!"


    The man in black said, "Brother Dong, since everyone understands, then we should all come to an understanding!"


    Dong Song Chen pointed to the woman in black beside him and asked, "Where is she from?"


    The black-clothed man said, "This woman is the Saint Daughter of the Maw Faction!"


    When Dong Song Chen heard the black clothed man say "Ma Nu Faction", he immediately asked: "What is your relationship with the Ma Nu Faction?!"


    The black-clothed person said, "Don''t waste your time and effort by wanting to know my identity. Even she doesn''t know my identity. But to show my sincerity, I can tell you this: I have nothing to do with the Mosha Faction! "


    Dong Song Chen pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "I''m not interested in your identity, I''m only interested in the < Bian Que Heart Sutra >!"


    The black clothed man laughed coldly: "Sure! As long as you help me place the Holy Maiden by the side of the Emperor, everything else will be up to you! "


    Dong Song Chen said coldly to the woman in black, "Just wait for me here tomorrow night!" After saying that, he leaped and landed on the city wall far away. With another leap, he disappeared without a trace.


    After Dong Song Chen left, the man in black said to the woman in black, "After you enter the palace, you must follow that old fart first. We can only attack him after we''ve done our job! "


    When the girl in black heard this, she nodded. Then, the two of them left the place one after the other.


    The next day, Huang''er got up early. When Liu Qing walked into Huang''er''s room with the washing water, Huang''er was sitting on the dresser facing the copper mirror, combing her hair.


    Huang''er saw Liu Qing and said: "Liu Qing, where did you go last night? Why didn''t we see you when we returned to the escort company?"


    Liu Qing turned around and placed the washbasin on a stool. Slowly, she turned around with an embarrassed smile and said, "Eldest Miss, last night, I went to the night market to buy some things with Little Red, the little girl from the tailor shop next door!"


    Huang''er heard this and said, "Oh, is the night market fun? Can you take me to play tonight?! "


    Liu Qing froze for a moment, looked at Huang''er and said: "Why did Eldest Miss think of going to the night market?"


    Huang''er used a silk scarf to tie her hair up and turned around to look at Liu Qing. Liu Qing''s face revealed a guilty expression, and she was very much aware of what was going on. She said: "I heard from Xu Yingtou that Lin An''s night market is quite fun, so I came to Lin An with great difficulty. I also want to take this opportunity to see it!"


    Seeing that Huang''er insisted on going, Liu Qing didn''t dare to stop her. She said: "Since Big Miss wants to go, I''ll go with her again tonight!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng got up and walked out of the room. They saw Xu Dazhi cultivating in the courtyard. Xu Que practiced the "Great Ancestor Long Fist". His moves were wide open and wide open. One could see that he was very good at it. To the side, Zhang Lin Xuan couldn''t help but clap his hands together and cheer.


    Xu Que was immersed in his practice. When he heard the applause, he noticed that the two of them were already there. He stopped practicing, wiped his forehead with a cloth, and asked: "Young heroes, did you have a good night''s sleep?!"


    Murong Feng cupped his hands and said: "Not bad! I''m worried about the escort! The escort leader''s Great Ancestor Long Fist is truly amazing, this junior truly admires you. "


    Xu Que let out a breath and waved his hand. "My little trick in front of the two of you is a real joke!"


    Zhang Linxuan said from the side, "The most precious thing is that Chief Xu has already started practicing early in the morning. It could even be said that he has heard the song of a chicken!"


    Seeing the two of them flattering him like this, although he was happy in his heart, he still said: "This old man is only humble, unlike the two master teachers, I do not practice hard, if I meet a strong enemy, how would I defend myself?!"


    Mu Rong Feng saw how humble Xu Yingdao was, so he said, "You''re being too serious, do you have a task to protect your dart in the near future?!"


    Xu Que forced a smile and said, "The business of the escort office is sparse these days. There are no darts for half a year. Aside from the one Miss took down yesterday, there is nothing else!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan suddenly remembered that he was looking at a sword. He quickly said, "Today, let''s take that father slaying sword and have a look. Just what sort of secrets are hidden within the sword?!"


    When Murong Feng heard this, he was filled with interest and agreed. He said that people are good at doing things, but he couldn''t see through it. Perhaps if everyone looked at it together, they might be able to see some clues.


    Xu Yu revealed a troubled expression and said, "Normally, you can''t easily open up the things that we are asked to escort. Therefore, we must discuss this matter with our young miss! "


    The three of them were standing in the yard discussing the matter of looking at the sword when Liu Qing walked in from the side door. He shouted to the escort leader: "Leader, everyone is invited to the hall for dinner!"


    Murong Feng saw Liu Qing walk in, so he waved his fan around Liu Qing''s body. Liu Qing stood there shyly without moving as she looked at Murong Feng with a strange expression.


    When Zhang Lin Xuan saw Murong Feng''s rude behavior, he stepped forward and pulled him away, saying, "Brother Murong, why are you treating a girl like this?!"


    Mu Rong Feng looked at Liu Qing''s face and asked Xu Ying, "Who is this person?!"


    At this moment, Xu Que reacted and quickly said, "This is our little girl from the escort office. She is called Liu Qing."


    Murong Feng nodded and said, "From the accent of Lady Liu Qing, she should be from the Southwest region, right?!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan pushed Murong Feng and said, "You''re not from the government, so why are you looking for someone else?!"


    Murong Feng cupped his hands towards the silent Liu Qing and said, "Lady Liu Qing, this one is rude. Please forgive me!"


    It was probably because she had met someone unfamiliar. Lady Liu Qing seemed very bashful and did not say anything. She just walked out with her head lowered.


    After everyone had finished eating, Huang''er led everyone to a secluded room. She opened the walnut box and took out the father slaying sword.


    Murong Feng picked up the sword, tapped the blade with his hand, and listened to the sound produced by the sword. Then, he waved the sword and said: "This sword is definitely forged by Western Xia. The sword body is transparent, the sound is thick, and the size is moderate. It is indeed a treasure sword.


    Seeing how obsessed Murong Feng was with the sword, Zhang Linxuan reminded him, "Brother Murong, we didn''t come here to ask you to test the quality of this sword, we''re here to look for clues!"

 C24

    After Zhang Lin Xuan''s reminder, Murong Feng realized that he had lost his composure. He hastily cleared his throat and said, "I heard from Miss Huang that the person who placed the dart in my hands was an old man from the Western Xia Empire. Even if we find out where he is, he might be long gone. "


    Zhang Linxuan took the sword from Murong Feng''s hand and slowly stroked it with his fingers. He felt that the sword seemed to be very bright, but it didn''t seem to be smooth enough. He felt that it was a bit sharp, but he wasn''t sure.


    Murong Feng saw that Zhang Lin Xuan was holding onto a sword and had not been able to find anything, so he said, "Brother Zhang, do you think that this sword is a lady? I touched it again and again! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan saw Murong Feng sneer at him, so he put the sword down with a blush. He saw Huang''er pick up the walnut box and look left and right, and even look right into the box, but he still couldn''t find anything.


    Cai Daoping and Xu Dazhi also picked up their treasured swords and wooden boxes, but they also did not discover anything. Since the two of them had to deal with the daily affairs of the escort company, they left soon after.


    The other three looked for a long time, but didn''t find anything. Huang''er was very discouraged. She sat at a table, holding her cheeks in a daze.


    Zhang Lin Xuan took a piece of felt cloth and placed it on a table in the main hall, then laid down on it. Under the sunlight that seeped through the window, he held onto the walnut box with both of his hands as he examined it from left and right. His eyes were blurry, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep. Murong Feng had long since given up on trying to find his way to the bridge. He should have known how to change the course of events, and maybe not having thought about it for the time being, he might even be able to find an answer at a moment''s notice. Then, he fell into a deep sleep on a cabinet in the corner.


    Of course, Zhang Lin Xuan wouldn''t believe his story. This was just an excuse that he didn''t want to think about.


    The warehouse didn''t seem to be big, but it relied on proper placement. Everything was arranged in a categorical manner, making it easy to see through.


    Just as Zhang Lin Xuan was about to fall asleep, Huang''er, who had nothing to do with him, suddenly shouted out, "Mouse!" before curling up to the side, shivering in fear. Huang''er''s sudden shout frightened Zhang Lin Xuan, who was about to fall asleep. The walnut box in his hand tumbled from his hand to the ground. The walnut box was strong enough to roll a few times on the floor, then it stopped where it was, in the sunlight coming through the window.


    Zhang Lin Xuan didn''t bother with the box falling onto the ground. He quickly got up and ran over to check on Huang''er''s condition. When Huang''er saw Zhang Linxuan so nervous about her, she felt as if she were drinking sweet dew. Zhang Linxuan asked her with concern if she was all right, and she said that she was fine.


    After Zhang Lin Xuan saw that Huang''er was safe and sound, he walked over to pick up the wooden box. When he bent down to pick up the wooden box, he found that the wooden box had been beaten. A small crack had appeared where the two pieces of wood met. Under the illumination of the sunlight, a layer of snow-white objects could be vaguely seen in the crevices.


    Zhang Linxuan picked up the wooden box and loudly said to Huang''er, "Miss Huang, we''ve found something!"


    Huang''er, who had been scared to death, heard that something had happened. She quickly walked over, picked up the wooden box and looked at it, saying, "Nothing much, it''s still the same as before. What did you find out?"


    Zhang Linxuan pointed to the crack and said, "Miss Huang, if you look carefully, what have you found?!"


    Huang''er held the wooden box close to her eyes and was delighted to find that there was a layer on the walnut box!


    Murong Feng had been sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the two of them. As soon as he heard that there was a layer in the wooden box, he sat up, ran over, and grabbed it. He looked around and asked anxiously: "Where? Where are the layers?! "


    Huang''er was unwilling to be outdone, so she took it over with both hands, pouting, "Who told you to sleep just now? I won''t tell you! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan knew that if he didn''t stop it now, the two would start arguing again. He quickly said, "Don''t argue anymore. We''ll find out once we open it, won''t we?!"


    Thus, the three of them walked over to the Eight Immortals Table that Zhang Lin Xuan had just slept at. Zhang Lin Xuan used his dagger to gently pry open a piece of wood. When he slowly opened the board, he saw a folded piece of paper the size of tofu. Zhang Lin Xuan opened the paper layer by layer, and all three of their eyes were as wide as lanterns.


    When Zhang Linxuan had removed the xuan paper and placed it flat on the table, everyone was dumbfounded. They saw that on the paper, there was a painting of a mountain, with a few lines of words written beside it. Everyone looked at these few lines of text and felt that it was very strange. This was because these lines seemed to be Chinese characters, but no one knew how to read them. The meaning of the words were even more unknown.


    The three of them then opened up the other three sections as well. There was also an unknown mountain drawn on each piece of paper, but the words next to it were still unknown.


    Huang''er said that she could call Xu Bei over to take a look. He often travelled to the north or south, so he had a lot of experience in the martial arts world.


    This is most likely Western Xia," he said. "As I said in the martial arts world, this is the Western Xia language created by the king of Western Xia, Li Yuanhao. The special feature of it is that it looks like a Chinese character at first glance, but isn''t, and the pronunciation and meaning are very different.


    When everyone heard this, they felt that Xu Yingdao was right. After all, the one who entrusted the darts to them was from the Western Xia. Then he asked if he knew these Western Xia languages.


    Xu Que shook his head. He said that very few people in the Central Plains could recognize this kind of Western Xia language. Even some of the Western Xia people that had lived in the Central Plains for a long time could not.


    When everyone heard this, all the joy from earlier was swept away.


    Xu Que said, "Everyone, there is no need to be discouraged. There are many talented people in Lin An city. If we are lucky, we might be able to uncover the secret!"


    At this time, he saw Cai Daoping walk in. He took an envelope and handed it to Huang''er, saying that Little Flower had left Lin An. Elder Song sent a letter to Huang''er.


    Huang''er took the note and looked at it. It read: The date of the Monarch. The time to uncover the secrets!


    Zhang Linxuan looked at the slip of paper and said, "It seems that we must attend the Beggar''s Gang Great Meeting!"


    Mu Rong Feng waved his fan and said disdainfully, "This little guy is called Hua. He always likes to act mysterious because he''s a little smart!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan advised, "Everyone in the martial arts world knows that he has an eccentric personality. We have requests from others, there''s nothing we can do about it!"


    Huang''er said, "Little Flower seems to be unreasonable, but there is a reason for everything he does. I think he must have his reasons for doing this!" It would be nice if we could stop by for the Bastard''s Lodge! We can also use this opportunity to make more friends! "


    Murong Feng disdainfully said, "They''re all beggars, what do they have to make friends with?!"

 C25

    Huang''er rolled her eyes at Murong Feng as she retorted, "You''re underestimating me!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan ignored the two as he worriedly said, "I had originally planned to meet Little Flower in person so that I could ask him some questions. But who knew that ¡ª ah!" Saying so, she let out a soft sigh from the side.


    When Huang''er saw how depressed Zhang Lin Xuan was, she consoled him, "Sir Zhang, you don''t have to be too conflicted. It just so happens that we''re going together to the Dongting Lake. We have company along the way!"


    Murong Feng said from the side, "That''s right. To be accompanied by a beauty, what kind of amorous and happy life do you have? "As a true man, you have to sigh all day long. Even if you don''t care about how you look like in Miss Huang''s heart, I don''t know how to describe you!"


    Seeing that Murong Feng wasn''t serious, Huang''er said to Murong Feng, "What are you thinking about in your head day and night? It''s just some dirty thoughts. Even if you are, please don''t think that others are the same way, okay?!"


    Murong Feng spoke with a fearless demeanor, "Perverted, human nature is not what it should be. I''m just speaking the truth. I don''t want some people to act like a righteous man on the surface and have a stomach full of male bandits and prostitutes!"


    Huang''er shook her head in disappointment after hearing his'' big reasoning ''. She said, "The truth is not that someone like you can use it as a cloth to hide your face, but what you have read seems to be for nothing. Unlike you, whose mouth stinks like an old lady''s, you should be more concerned about the things you should care about!"


    When Murong Feng saw that Huang''er was angry, he threw down the words, "A good man doesn''t fight with a woman." Then, he pulled Zhang Lin Xuan out of the warehouse in a flurry of anger.


    Seeing that Murong Feng was truly angry, Huang''er packed up the things in the room and took the four chapters Xuan paper out of the warehouse. She hastily went to look for Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng.


    When Murong Feng saw Huang''er interactively apologize to him, he also forgave her. Actually, Murong Feng knew that if it wasn''t for him talking about the relationship between Huang''er and Zhang Lin Xuan every day, Huang''er would have been very open-minded. He reminded himself that he wouldn''t be able to make fun of her next time.


    Since it was still a long time before the day of the Beggar''s Gang, Murong Feng and Zhang Linxuan had discussed that they would bid farewell to the people in the escort office after lunch. It was impossible for them to spend a few months in someone else''s escort office and eat and drink for free. As Zhang Lin Xuan heard this, he nodded his head in agreement. Although he was reluctant to part with Miss Huang, he thought that it wouldn''t be long before he and her would be on the road together for the meeting of the Beggar''s Gang. Thus, he felt relieved in his heart.


    Having made up their minds, the two of them mentioned their farewell at lunch. Hearing that they were about to leave, Huang''er said: "Although we are strangers, but this time we are searching for the secret of the father''s sword, you two have helped us a lot, we in the martial arts world have intersect through our hearts, if you two of us are not doing anything important, then why not stay in our escort company for a month or two?"


    Murong Feng refused: "Brother Zhang and I have already discussed this. The business of your escort office was already in a bad mood, and we were still staying here for free. In our hearts, we are not going there either."


    Seeing that Murong Feng was being so polite, Huang''er said: "Sir Murong, aren''t you underestimating our Long Wei Escort Office?! Even if the escort office doesn''t open for three years, we can still run it. The East Mountain is not bright, but the key is that this route cannot be cut off, because this is the capital of the Great Song Empire, and business dealings will definitely require the escort company, as long as we can endure the loneliness, sooner or later we will get better, so, you don''t have to worry about the future of our escort company, and furthermore, we, the people of the Jiang Hu are more concerned about being outspoken, since we want to keep you guys here, you shouldn''t be so bashful with us! "


    Huang''er''s narration made Murong Feng convinced. If he insisted on leaving, it was as if he didn''t want to give face to the Kunlun Sect and the Long Wei Escort Office. Thus, he turned to look at Zhang Lin Xuan.


    Zhang Lin Xuan lowered his head as he sat there without saying a word. Murong Fengyi already understood: This boy would definitely not let go of his love for another person like Miss Huang! Then, he stood up and cupped his hands towards the other three people and said, "Then, I, Mu Rong Feng, and Brother Zhang will be troubling you for a long time!" He then glanced at Zhang Lin Xuan.


    Zhang Lin Xuan then stood up, cupped his wine cup towards everyone and said, "This little brother''s mouth is stupid, and does not know how to speak. I hope that everyone can support this little brother a little. Thank you for taking him in!" Let me toast everyone! " After he finished speaking, he drank the cup of wine.


    Huang''er was overjoyed to see that the two of them were willing to stay, so she also drank a cup of wine. The other three people looked at each other and understood what the two young men were thinking. At that moment, the crowd was filled with cheers and laughter.


    Fire trees and silver flowers filled the sky as birds chirped and birds chirped non-stop. The night in Lin An city was a bustling scene.


    Xu Que led the crowd on the street. Huang''er looked at the assortment of groceries on the street and was filled with joy.


    Liu Qing was also brought out by Huang''er, and asked Liu Qing many questions. Liu Qing''s response was also very fluent. If he hadn''t seen her in the room personally last night, it would be hard to know that she would have secretly slipped out of the escort office to do other things.


    Zhang Lin Xuan, Murong Feng, and Xu Ying were walking together. As Cai Daoping was sometimes like a 7-8 year old child, it was not easy to find him. Therefore, everyone decided that he and the rest of the escort team would stay at the escort office.


    Now that Zhang Lin Xuan could see Huang''er every moment, his face was twisted in a smile. Every movement within her heart was like a beautiful dream with gold edges, leaving him with an endless aftertaste.


    Murong Feng was no longer surprised to see Zhang Linxuan so infatuated with Huang''er. Someone else had deliberately set up a pair of black and white erratic lamps in the air.


    Murong Feng pretended to speak to Xu Yingdao beside him, "Escort leader, I don''t know who would release the Black and White Impermanence at this time. Are they trying to say that someone''s soul is about to be taken away?!"


    Xu Que knew that Murong Feng was talking about something. He laughed and then he was speechless.


    Zhang Linxuan saw that Murong Feng was making a fool of himself again, so he turned to Murong Feng and asked, "Brother Murong, if you like a girl, how would you explain this to her?!"


    Murong Feng laughed heartily. He looked at the backs of the two girls in front of him and said, "I''ve always been straightforward. Don''t miss out on anything that I like. After this village, there won''t be this shop anymore!" Didn''t Li Taibai say that life is full of joy? Life is the same, but I haven''t met a girl that I like at first sight! "


    Zhang Lin Xuan seemed to understand and nodded his head. He said, "Oh, so Brother Murong is just talking about military matters on paper!"

 C26

    When Murong Feng saw how much Zhang Lin Xuan was looking down on him, he opened up the fan and placed it in front of his chest, fanning his face as he said, "I don''t want to be bothered by feelings. With my looks and my talent, if I wanted to find a pretty girl, I could drink a cup of tea!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan saw that Murong Feng wasn''t even blushing when he told the lie, and said, "I believe that with your face, you should be able to do it!"


    Murong Feng saw that Zhang Lin Xuan didn''t believe in his own abilities and tried to defend himself. "I can tell you this: the first thing you need to do after a girl is to have thick skin. If people were as bashful as you are, girls would have long been caught by someone as thick-skinned as me!"


    Zhang Linxuan couldn''t win against Murong Feng at the moment. He stubbornly said, "Keep boasting!"


    When Murong Feng saw that he couldn''t convince Zhang Lin Xuan, he pointed at Xu Dai and said to Zhang Lin Xuan, "If you don''t believe me, you can ask the escort and see if I''m right or not!"


    Xu Que saw that the two of them were going to give their opinions, so he said: "I''m a rough guy. If you want to know how I deal with the girls at the Spring Festival, I have a lot of experience, but if you want to ask me about my experience chasing the girls, I really don''t have it!" After saying that, he threw his head back and laughed out loud.


    The five of them walked on and on, the bustling crowd coming from all over the place. When they came to a vaudeville stand, they saw a short fat man in a hat performing a naked ring of fire. The little man came and went freely in the blazing circle of fire, attracting applause from the onlookers.


    Huang''er was curious and asked, "This dwarf is really powerful. Could he have practiced some kind of magical technique? You guys have seen him walk around in the circle of fire for a long time, but his skin is still unharmed!"


    Mu Rong Xuan saw through the flaw and said, "Let him take off his hat, do you think he will agree?!"


    Xu Que gave Murong a big thumbs up and said, "Brother Murong is so amazing. He caught on to the key point at a glance!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan suddenly understood what they meant. He anxiously looked at the two of them to confirm his answer and asked, "Are you saying that he put a layer of something on the surface of his own body?!"


    Murong Feng asked back, "Otherwise, do you really think he knows any mystical techniques?!"


    Huang''er saw the three of them conversing among themselves and didn''t take her to heart. She wanted to pull Liu Qing to another place and take a stroll.


    Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure walking past him outside the crowd. However, he couldn''t recall it in a short period of time, so he hit his disappointing head.


    Seeing Huang''er''s actions, Liu Qing asked: "Miss, why did you hit your own head? Do you have a headache?! "


    Huang''er said, "I feel so familiar with the figure of this person who just passed by. I always feel like I''ve seen him somewhere before!" However, this useless brain of mine will not be able to remember this moment.


    Liu Qing looked around and asked: "Which one?! Show me, maybe I''ve seen it too?! "


    Huang''er pointed at the figure of an old man who was about to turn into an alley.


    Liu Qing looked at the old man''s figure and said loudly: "Isn''t that the owner who sent the escort team to Western Xia yesterday?!"


    After Liu Qing said this, Huang''er suddenly remembered. She pulled on Zhang Lin Xuan''s sleeve and pointed at the old man as she shouted, "That Western Xia person!"


    Zhang Linxuan was currently talking with Murong Feng and Xu Yingtou about how he had been burned when he was young and had learned alchemy from the Iron Sword Taoist.


    However, when Huang''er called out to him like this, he looked in his direction and saw an old man with green clothes walking into an alley.


    Xu Ying looked and was sure it was the old man who came to carry the dart yesterday. Everyone immediately pushed their way through the crowd and ran towards the alleyway.


    When everyone rushed into the alleyway, there was nothing but pitch black darkness. Zhang Lin Xuan had told Xu Yingtou to protect the two ladies while he and Murong Feng chased after them.


    The two of them ran to the next intersection in the alleyway, but still did not see the old man. Murong Feng pointed at the rooftop. Zhang Lin Xuan knew what Murong Feng meant. He thought to himself: "This old fellow is going up to the rooftop again!"


    Sure enough, Murong Feng leaped up onto the rooftop, bent over, and rushed away.


    Zhang Lin Xuan saw that Murong Feng had already started his search, and he began to search through the alleyway.


    At this moment, the alleyway was exceptionally quiet. Compared to the hubbub on the streets outside, the atmosphere inside was so different that it felt like it had fallen into a tranquil dream of its own.


    Zhang Lin Xuan held his breath as he tensed up his nerves, trying his best to clear his mind of all distracting thoughts. He looked around cautiously, and even after walking past several alleys, he still did not see the figure of the Western Xia old man. Aside from the occasional slight sound of Murong Fengyi flying in the wind above him, the surroundings, other than the dense cluster of houses, were still deathly silent.


    It was not yet late at night, and what was strange was that there was no one in this alley. The most important thing was that there was not even a dog barking! Zhang Linxuan suddenly discovered this strange phenomenon.


    Thus, he lightly leapt onto the wall of a house. He discovered that the door and windows of this house were all tightly shut, and there were no lights in sight.


    The more Zhang Linxuan saw, the more bizarre he felt. His true essence sank, and he agilely landed in front of the door. He even turned his head to listen for any signs of movement in the room. He nudged the door, and it creaked open. The house was empty. Zhang Lin Xuan then proceeded to search through the other rooms. What was strange was that no one was at home in this house.


    Could it be that all of them went to the night market to play? Zhang Lin Xuan scratched his head as he thought to himself. Then he planned to go back to the kitchen.


    As soon as Zhang Linxuan walked into the kitchen, the fragrance of food entered his nose. Zhang Lin Xuan hastily lit the fire and took a look. There were some ingredients for cooking on the stove, and the oil in the wok had yet to solidify. Zhang Lin Xuan tentatively touched the wok''s inner wall and found that it was still warm.


    Zhang Lin Xuan thought to himself: This family left home not long ago!


    Thus, he used the firelight to search the surroundings of the house for a long time, but he didn''t find any traces of fighting. It didn''t seem like he was suddenly robbed.


    Zhang Lin Xuan was thinking about the problem in front of him. Suddenly, a light noise came from the house. Zhang Lin Xuan thought that Murong Feng was in the vicinity, so he stood up to reunite with him.


    He immediately extinguished the fire and stepped out of the door. He looked around to see where Murong Feng was. As he concentrated on his surroundings, a refreshing fragrance of flowers wafted into his nose.


    This sudden fragrance of flowers caused his heart to tremble. At this moment, Zhang Lin Xuan had already closed his eyes and was completely immersed in it.

 C27

    Zhang Linxuan seemed to have been possessed. He stood there motionless. Under the pale moonlight, his face revealed a very strange expression, as if he was enjoying the show.


    In the pitch-black sky, there was a bright moon. A woman dressed in red was standing on top of the roof of the household that Zhang Linxuan had just searched for.


    The woman in red wore a white veil, and her stern face was barely visible in the breeze. She had been staring at Zhang Linxuan the entire time. After a while, when she saw that Zhang Linxuan had started to dance, she took out a golden copper bell from her waist and shook it. Zhang Linxuan was like a zombie as he slowly walked out of the courtyard.


    Huang''er and the rest waited outside the alleyway for a long time, but still no one came back.


    Thus, she discussed the situation with Chief Escort Xu and told herself to go in and see what was going on. Xu Que was stubborn, so he could only let her into the alley.


    When Huang''er entered the quiet alleyway, she couldn''t help but break out in cold sweat. The night wind was blowing on her body, causing her to shiver. The moonlight shone in the alleyway. The greyish white walls appeared pale. The place where the moon was hidden seemed so unpredictable.


    Under the brown night sky, Huang''er was constantly bolstering her courage in her heart. She was constantly flying up and down in a huge group of houses, looking for the other two people.


    When she jumped onto the roof again, she saw a white figure flying towards her at lightning speed. She guessed that it was Murong Feng. With a few leaps, he arrived in front of the man in white.


    Murong Feng saw Huang''er from afar and thought to himself: "Why did this woman run in here?!"


    When Huang''er arrived in front of Murong Feng, she asked anxiously, "Hey, have you seen Master Zhang?!"


    Murong Feng shook his head and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He took a deep breath and said, "Isn''t he just looking for him on the ground?!"


    Huang''er said, "I''ve never seen him before, not ever!"


    Hearing that, Murong Feng was stunned and said, "This kid is so stupid. Could something have happened to him?!"


    Huang''er''s heart skipped a beat as she said to Murong Feng, "That shouldn''t be the case. But I noticed something strange along the way. This area is filled with houses, but I didn''t see anyone. Not even a dog barking. It''s as if it''s hell. It''s scary!"


    Murong Feng nodded and said, "I also noticed it a long time ago. That''s why I came back to reunite with him. I was afraid that some unforeseen event would happen. Who knows what might come! "


    When Huang''er saw that her discovery had coincided with Murong Feng''s, she couldn''t help but worry for Zhang Lin Xuan''s safety. She anxiously asked, "Then what should we do next? If Sir Zhang''s whereabouts are unknown, how can we find him?!"


    Murong Feng looked at Huang''er''s worried expression and comforted her, "Don''t worry too much. With Brother Zhang''s skills, ordinary people wouldn''t be able to do anything to him!"


    Huang''er was on the verge of tears as she complained, "If we just ignore this matter, what if he gets killed by someone?"


    He turned to the side and said softly, "Miss Huang, I know you''re worried about Brother Zhang''s safety, but there''s no point in being anxious here. Time is the most precious thing right now, you have to think of a way, not crying here!"


    Huang''er wiped away her tears and asked Murong Feng in a tearful voice, "What can we do now? There are all houses in a radius of several miles. Are we going to search one by one?!"


    Murong Feng said, "Of course not. We can calculate from the moment Brother Zhang and I entered the alley until the time we meet up. It will probably only last a quarter of an hour. Including the time when Brother Zhang was captured, it will be within the range of the enemy''s movement!"


    After Huang''er heard Murong Feng''s analysis, she asked, "What if they directly kill Young Master Zhang? Then how are we to find them? "


    Murong Feng turned around with a smile and said: "This probability is extremely low because all these people have been gathered in one place by some unknown means. They should be targeting all the people in this area and not just a single person! If it was only for one person, why did the other side have to take all of them away? Isn''t that superfluous?! "


    Huang''er thought about it for a while and felt that Murong Feng''s words made sense. She looked around and said, "Then, how should we delimit the area to find Young Master Zhang?!"


    Mu Rong Feng pointed at a house and said, "Do you see that house with red glazed roof tiles? We''ll start from that one and gradually search. We should be able to find some clues! However, remember, when the other party gathered so many people in one place, they should need a very big place. So, I am sure that they should be in an empty plaza. "


    Huang''er nodded and said, "We should pay attention to our surroundings. It is quiet now. As long as we don''t miss any sound, we can definitely find Master Zhang."


    Seeing that Huang''er had returned to her normal state, Murong Feng joyfully said: "That''s right, this is the Miss Huang that I know! "Follow me!"


    Finished speaking, Mu Rong Feng carried Huang''er and jumped over the roof towards the house with the red glazed roof tiles.


    At this time, the woman in red guided Zhang Lin Xuan into a massive underground square.


    Many torches were lit around the square, and many people like Zhang Linxuan were standing inside. These zombie-like people were guarded by a few warriors in red uniforms with steel blades at their waists. In the deepest part of the underground square, there was a tall altar. On top of the altar, there was a huge octagonal bronze cauldron. The sides of the cauldron were covered with yellow talisman paper.


    Behind the cauldron stood a few elderly elders gathered around a Daoist with a broken head. The middle-aged cultivator had a birthmark on his gaunt face, and his thin eyes were filled with craftiness. He stood in front of the elders with his head held high and his chest held high, appearing extremely arrogant.


    The middle-aged Daoist looked at the woman in red and asked, "Holy Maiden, where did you find the last person?"


    The woman in red daintily said, "Dao leader, you don''t need to worry about where I found it. Now that we have gathered 499 people, let''s begin!"


    The middle-aged old Daoist said, "Holy Maiden, don''t be impatient. The time has not come yet. If the time is wrong, these people''s lives will be wasted for nothing!"

 C28

    The woman in red disdainfully said, "Merely 500 people. As long as you use my Soul-Summoning Bell to ring, you can easily attract thousands upon thousands of people!" With that, he took the bronze bell and walked to the front of the altar. He shook it, and all four hundred and ninety-nine people kneeled on the ground in unison.


    When the few elders saw this scene, they all nodded in agreement.


    The woman in red calmly walked towards the altar. The people standing on the altar all lowered their heads to welcome her.


    When the woman in red reached the high altar and raised her delicate hand high, all the warriors immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison, "Long live the Holy Maiden! The Mosha Sect had unified the Central Plains! The Mosha Sect can rule the world! " Although there were only a hundred or so warriors, the slogans were so clear that even the ground shook, and a lot of earth fell from the ceiling.


    When the middle-aged Daoist Priest saw this scene, he looked at the ceiling in horror and quietly asked a one-eyed old man in green clothes beside him: "Is the place you''re building reliable?!"


    The one-eyed old Daoist looked at him and said, "This place is only temporarily used. It doesn''t matter if it''s unreliable. As long as you use the blood of these 499 people to refine this Jade Urn Pill, we will completely bury you here. "


    The middle-aged Daoist looked around, and then squatted on the ground, covering his face as he cried out, "I''ve done something wrong today. If my senior brother knew, wouldn''t he have cut me into a thousand pieces?!"


    When the Holy Maiden saw the middle-aged Spirit Master''s frightened look, she sneered and said: "Don''t worry, your Martial Brother Taoist Iron Sword is cultivating in seclusion and won''t be able to come out for a while. Besides, your little life is in the hands of our sect, if you dare to do anything that would deceive us, I will make you beg for death!"


    When the middle-aged Spirit Master saw the Holy Maiden''s overbearing appearance, he suddenly stood up and loudly said, "Fine, then you can kill me right now! If you kill me, I''ll see who can refine the Jade Pellet for you. If you don''t have the Jade Pellet, then you can just wait for Grandmaster Tian Chan to enter the coffin! "No, they should be waiting for the eagle to peck them!" With that, he laughed complacently.


    When the Holy Maiden saw the middle-aged Spirit Master acting so arrogantly, she became so angry that she could not endure. She fiercely glared at him and then said a few words to him.


    The one-eyed old man took out a small bronze bell from beside him. The middle-aged Daoist looked ashen, and began to sweat profusely. Who knew that the one-eyed old man would say: "Daoist leader, I haven''t even started to shake, how did you end up like this? If you are so afraid of pain, then why don''t you listen to our Holy Maiden''s words?! "


    The Holy Maiden impatiently said, "Don''t waste your breath with him! Let him know what happens if he goes against me! "


    The one eyed old man smiled charmingly, picked up the bronze bell, gritted his teeth and shook it vigorously.


    The middle-aged Daoist Priest had long since been scared stiff. When he heard the bell ring, he immediately felt as if his body was being scratched in the heart, and his entire body was itching to fight. His hands continuously scratched wildly at his own body, and in a few moments, several bloody scars appeared on his body.


    When the one-eyed old man saw the middle-aged Spirit Master in such pain, he looked as if he had seen his own painting. He looked at the middle-aged Spirit Master''s pained expression with satisfaction as he constantly spoke words of vow. Every time he spoke, he would ring the bell, causing the pain of the middle-aged Daoist Priest to worsen. The entire hall echoed with the wails of the middle-aged Daoist Priest.


    When the Holy Maiden saw that the middle-aged Spirit Master was about to faint, she immediately stopped the one-eyed old man from ringing the bell.


    At this moment, the middle-aged Daoist Priest was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. His clothes were drenched in sweat, and the dirt that stuck to the ground had turned him into a disheveled beggar.


    The middle-aged Daoist Priest lay paralyzed on the ground, gasping for air, his face as pale as paper. The one-eyed old man walked to his side and gave him a kick. "Don''t play dead, or I''ll ring the bell again!"


    When the middle-aged Daoist Priest heard that he was about to ring the bell again, he clenched his teeth and struggled several times before slowly standing up.


    When the Holy Maiden saw that the Daoist Priest had stood up, she said in a delicate voice, "Daoist Priest, you can concoct pills now, right?"


    The Daoist Priest tidied his messy hair and stubbornly said, "The time is not up yet. When it is time, I will naturally begin!" After saying that, he picked up the compass and circled around the cauldron once, then angrily stood to the side without saying anything.


    Mu Rong Feng and Huang''er searched around the surroundings of the red-colored glazed roof for a long time, yet they still couldn''t find any signs of human life. The surroundings were as quiet as ever.


    At first, Huang''er was able to keep her composure, but later on, she became more and more agitated. Finally, when she could not find him, she sat on the ground, covering her head as she sobbed.


    Murong Feng shook his head helplessly when he saw her expression. He walked up to her and said, "Do all women like to cry?"


    Huang''er was already impatient, but Murong Feng suddenly gave her a sarcastic remark. She immediately stood up in a flustered and exasperated manner as she cried, "If anything happens to Sir Zhang, I will never forgive you in this life!"


    Seeing her expression, Murong Feng squatted down and said: "Don''t worry. If something happens to Brother Zhang, I''m more worried than you! But what''s weird is that you''ve only known my Brother Zhang for a few days, and yet you want to die after not seeing him for just a short while. A girl, aren''t you ashamed? "


    Huang''er stopped crying and said, "I didn''t know Master Zhang for a few days, but we are both honest. What can we say? He doesn''t seem like someone with a lot of tricks!" After saying that, he looked at Murong Feng and continued, "I can''t explain it to you. Do you know what it means to be close to someone at first sight?!"


    Murong Feng shook his head.


    Huang''er continued, "That''s because you haven''t met the right person. It''s like they met each other in your last life. His image, voice and style are all the same to you!"


    Murong Feng disdainfully replied, "Miss Huang, you''re so beautiful. I didn''t expect that the perfect man in your heart would be a retard!"


    Huang''er''s tears turned into a smile. She immediately said with a rigid face, "Don''t think that I will forgive you just because you said so. Now we have to find Young Master Zhang quickly. If we hesitate a little, I''m afraid ¡­"


    Murong Feng naturally knew that time was of the essence, but he couldn''t do anything about this young miss Jin. After coming over to persuade her, she had already made up her mind to continue searching. Who knew she would start crying again? Women are really troublesome! Murong Feng said in his heart.


    However, he could only restrain his anger. Forcing a smile, he said to Huang''er, "Miss Huang, if you continue to cry here, I estimate that my Brother Zhang''s situation might really make you cry!"


    Of course, Huang''er was aware of the formidable relationship between them. However, when she thought of the fact that Zhang Lin Xuan had been captured, she couldn''t stop her tears from streaming down her face.

 C29

    The Holy Maiden had been standing in front of the altar for a long time, waiting for the middle-aged Daoist Priest to open the altar for concocting pills. The Holy Maiden had been standing in front of the altar for a long time, waiting for the middle-aged Daoist Priest to open the altar for concocting pills.


    Who knew that the normally scheming and scheming Grandmaster Tian Chan would be severely injured in a sneak attack a few days ago? As the chief protector of the Mos Clan, if he were to ignore him in Song Province, he was afraid that he would not be able to report back to the Sect Leader even if he returned to Fu Fan.


    The Holy Maiden paced back and forth on the spot, analyzing the chaotic situation in front of her. She raised her head to look at the middle-aged Daoist and thought to herself: "Now that the Elders have the Soul Summoning Bell, I guess this Taoist doesn''t dare to act rashly. It''s more important to go to Eunuch Dong first."


    Thus, he called the one-eyed old man over and said that he had something he needed to attend to and wanted to go out. If the dog-Daoist didn''t open the altar again in an hour, he would use the Soullander Bell to deal with him until he was willing to refine pills!


    The one-eyed old man looked at the Taoist who was pretending to be innocent and nodded his head.


    The Holy Maiden looked with satisfaction at the five hundred expressionless faces of the crowd below. She took out a red medicine bottle from her waist and said to the one eyed old man, "Remember to sprinkle it in front of these people one hour ago, or else they will be in great trouble when they wake up. Remember this well!"


    The one-eyed old man took the medicine bottle and said to the Holy Maiden: "Rest assured, I will handle this matter well!"


    After the Holy Maiden finished giving out her orders, she directly walked out of the crowded underground square.


    After Murong Feng calmed Huang''er down, the two of them continued to search from house to house, trying to find some useful clues.


    Suddenly, a light sound rang out, giving Murong Feng a shock. He hurriedly patted Huang''er, who was about to open the door to another room.


    Huang''er turned her head and was about to curse at Murong Feng for scaring him to death when she saw Murong Feng point a finger at the ceiling. Huang''er hurriedly focused her attention and listened. Sure enough, she heard someone rushing over!


    This person''s Qing Gong was not bad, but when compared to Murong Feng, it was like comparing an Elementary Scholar and a Elementary Scholar.


    Murong Feng heard the man''s footsteps getting closer and closer to the rooftop. He reckoned that the next landing would be near, so he pulled Huang''er''s arm and jumped onto the rooftop.


    At this moment, the Holy Maiden was rushing towards the street in front of the imperial palace in a hurry. Suddenly, a man and a woman emerged from the ground, startling her.


    The Holy Maiden looked at Murong Feng and Huang''er and asked sternly, "Who are you people?! How dare you block my way?! "


    Murong Feng saw that her face was covered by a white veil. There must be something amiss for her to suddenly appear here. He might be able to find out the reason from her. So, he stepped forward and said, "I still want to ask who you are. How could he be here?! "


    The Holy Maiden could tell they were people from the martial arts world just by looking at their clothes. However, the two of them appearing here now, whether by coincidence or intentional, he decided to investigate their background first. "Friend in the martial arts world, I am only passing through here, what do you two mean by blocking my path?"


    When Murong Feng heard this, he smiled and said, "There''s no one within miles of us. You suddenly came out and said that you were just passing by. Do you really think we''re three years old?!"


    After the Holy Maiden heard this, she laughed and said, "I have urgent matters to take care of today. I don''t want to be entangled with you, so if you know what''s good for you, quickly get out of my way. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being rude to the two of you!"


    Huang''er said, "Tell us honestly, where did you come from and where did all the people from in this area. Otherwise, I would have to be rude to you!"


    When the Holy Maiden heard this, she smiled and said, "Such a young age and big tone. Look at this move!" After saying that, he waved his hand and four shining flying daggers flew towards Murong Feng and Huang''er.


    Huang''er welcomed them with both hands and firmly gripped the two throwing knives in her hands. Mu Rong Feng''s body was too lazy to move. He waved his hands with the paper fan and sent the two throwing knives flying far away.


    When the Holy Maiden saw that the two of them were not ordinary, she pretended to use her hands to attack their middle path. Before she had even used half her hands, she had already forcefully leaped over their heads, intending to escape.


    Why would Murong Feng be a person? The Jianghu was known as the "Flying Leopard Cat". It was impossible to hide such a small trick from him. As the Holy Maiden leapt into the air, Murong Feng lightly leapt forward and grabbed her foot.


    A woman''s feet were something that a woman of good family hated the most when men touched them. Therefore, when the Holy Maiden was pulled down by Murong Feng, she gave a slight cry before standing still. Then, she swung her palms towards Murong Feng.


    Murong Feng responded. Huang''er, who was at the side, also immediately joined the battle. The Holy Maiden knew that if this continued, she wouldn''t be able to last long against two enemies. Thus, she had to find a way to escape.


    Thus, she used all her strength to strike out with her palm. When Murong Feng and Huang''er saw the power of this palm, they thought that this woman might be just an average person. How could she allow the power of this palm to be underestimated? Thus, the two of them hastily dodged to the side.


    Seeing that the time was right, the Holy Maiden leaped and left Murong Feng and Huang''er far behind.


    When Murong Feng and Huang''er saw that they were about to leave the mountain, they wanted to chase after them. In the end, Huang''er stopped Murong Feng and said, "You stay behind and continue searching for Young Master Zhang. I''ll go chase this woman!"


    Seeing that time was running out, Murong Feng thought that if he said a few more words, the girl would disappear without a trace. He then said to Huang''er, "Okay, be careful!" With that, he immediately landed in the yard.


    Huang''er looked at the receding figure of the woman in red and sighed. Then, she stood up and gave chase in that direction.


    The Holy Maiden leaped several kilometers in a single breath, secretly rejoicing in her heart: I''ve finally gotten rid of these two people! If they were to really fight, he definitely wouldn''t be a match for any of them!


    Seeing that they were not more than a few miles away from the Imperial Street, the Holy Maiden felt slightly more relaxed, so her steps also slowed down. Just as he was about to stop, he turned around to confirm if the two were chasing him. Who knew that when she turned around, Huang''er was already only a few dozen feet away from her? He suddenly became nervous and hurriedly pushed forward with all his might.


    Seeing that the woman in red had suddenly quickened her pace, Huang''er knew in her heart that she had been discovered. She no longer cared about the sound coming from beneath her feet as she chased after her with all her might.


    The Holy Maiden''s qinggong was definitely slightly inferior to Huang''er''s. Although she was older than Huang''er, her father was still the Sect Leader of the Karakorum sect. How could they be compared!? Thus, after a while, Huang''er had already caught up to the Holy Maiden. He only needed to travel one or two li. Huang''er would definitely catch the Holy Maiden.


    The Holy Maiden saw that they were about to arrive at the Imperial Street. If he were to ask Eunuch Dong for help now, he wouldn''t help in order to protect himself. However, with just his skills, he definitely wouldn''t be able to defeat this menacing young lady. If he didn''t want to think of a way out, he would be caught alive in an instant!

 C30

    Murong Feng continued to search for Zhang Lin Xuan at the place where the Holy Maiden was found because he was certain that the sudden appearance of this woman in red was related to Zhang Lin Xuan''s disappearance.


    The reason he wanted Huang''er to chase after the woman in red was due to the circumstances at that time. The reason was that it was only a matter of time before Huang''er caught the woman in red. Of course, if he was able to track down this woman in red, then it would be an easy matter. But if he was able to capture her, then she would refuse to admit that it was related to Zhang Linxuan''s disappearance. In this way, not only would it delay the time, it would also be easy for him to be in a passive state. Furthermore, it was quite unreliable to place a young girl who had recently stepped into the martial arts world in an unknown and ever-changing environment.


    When the middle-aged Spirit Master saw that the Holy Maiden had left, his eyes began to twitch. He thought to himself, "What a good ''Moo Cult''. Not only did he trick me into concocting the pills, he even fed me this darn Gu poison!" Don''t blame me for doing fifteen for you guys doing the first one!


    He laughed contemptuously, secretly praising himself for his talent.


    Therefore, he picked up the compass and purposely circled around the altar. Then, he called for the one-eyed old man and ordered him, "Put the charcoal under the cauldron and light it up!"


    When the one-eyed old man saw that the middle-aged Spirit Master was about to start concocting pills, he felt somewhat puzzled. He looked at the middle-aged Spirit Master and said, "Is it time?"


    The middle-aged Spirit Master knew that he was somewhat unconvinced, and said, "You have the final say, or do I have the final say?! "If you don''t listen to me, don''t blame me if you can''t produce the pill later!"


    The one-eyed old man knew that refining pills was the most important thing in front of him, so he could only obey obediently. He muttered to himself, "I''ll only show you when the pill is refined!"


    When the middle-aged Daoist Priest saw that the one-eyed old man had already arranged for people to prepare the charcoal, he felt very pleased with himself. Then, he quietly took out some sulphur and saltpeter from his four-sided pouch and threw them into the furnace at the bottom of the cauldron while the other elders were talking.


    Not long later, the one-eyed old man came back with several warriors carrying sacks of charcoal. The middle-aged Daoist asked them to just put it on the side of the altar.


    The one-eyed old man asked, "Why did you put it so far away? Can''t we get them closer? "


    The middle-aged Daoist explained, "Charcoal is easy to find, and pill refining is a skill. The fire cannot be big or small, and I must personally control it. Do you want to kill me by placing all the charcoal beside the cauldron?"


    The one-eyed old man quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no! I was afraid you''d be tired of adding charcoal yourself! I am doing it for your own good. As long as you can concoct the Jade Urn Pill, everything else can be settled easily! "


    Seeing that everything was ready, the middle-aged Daoist Priest took the dustpan and placed the charcoal under the cauldron.


    Not long after, the middle-aged Daoist Priest filled up the surroundings of the cauldron. He put down the dustpan, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said to the one-eyed old Daoist: "This old Daoist is in a good mood today, if any of you are interested, you can all come over and learn how to refine the Jade Pills!"


    When the elders heard that the middle-aged Daoist Priest wanted to teach them how to refine a Jadepot Pill, they all expressed their doubts.


    The one-eyed old man said, "We did that to you just now, do you have the kindness to teach us your Dao Sect''s secret recipe, the Jade Pills? I don''t believe it! Unless you''re cheating! You want us to come over and burn us to death! We won''t fall for your trick! "


    The middle-aged Daoist pretended to sigh and said, "You really are called Lu Dongbin. Jade Urn Pill is just a child''s play to my daoists. I want to take this opportunity to teach everyone else. In the future, if you need more Jade Pellets, you don''t need to come find me, and you don''t need any bewitching drugs or poison to plot against me, I just want to have a peaceful and happy day! "


    The one eyed old man was still in disbelief as he said, "Aren''t you afraid that we''ll kill you if we learn it?!"


    The middle-aged Spirit Master giggled, "Of course I''m afraid! But when you learn half of the Jade Gorge Pill, you will have to detoxify my Gu poison! Otherwise, no one can discuss it! "


    When the middle-aged Spirit Master finished speaking, he saw that no one had any intention of coming to watch, so he added, "Once you learn how to refine this Jade Pellet, it would be easy for you or anyone else to use it if you are injured! If your head protector knew that the few of you could concoct Jade Pills, would your position in the Sect increase greatly?! Of course, if you want to learn, I won''t force you! However, this is a rare opportunity. If you guys don''t come, then I''ll begin! "


    The few old men glanced at each other, and after exchanging a few words in their own language, they walked to the sides of the cauldron.


    When the middle-aged Taoist saw that the few old guys had entered the urn, he resisted the urge to laugh and cleared his throat. He said, "Pill refining, the most important thing is the heat. Therefore, everyone must stay close to this cauldron and observe the temperature carefully! Everyone, have you heard it clearly?! "


    The few elders listened attentively to the "crux of pill refining" that he imparted them.


    The one-eyed old man asked, "Then when will the 499 human blood be poured in?!"


    The middle-aged Spirit Master was very "pleased" and said to the one-eyed old man, "You are right. As for when you are going to pour this fresh human blood into the cauldron? I''m very pleased that this elder has such a long-term perspective, but everything has to be done step by step! Don''t be too hasty. Right now, the first thing everyone needs to learn is how to control the heat! Therefore, I will tell everyone about when you poured fresh human blood in! "


    With that, the middle-aged Spirit Master threw the torch into the pile of charcoal. He then said to the other elders, "Everyone, watch the fire closely now. I''ll explain it to you later. We''ll be back soon!"


    When the one-eyed old man saw that he was about to leave, he immediately said, "Please wait a moment, Taoist. I am also going to take my leave. Let''s go together!" As he spoke, he took a few steps to keep up with the Daoist.


    The middle-aged Daoist Priest was about to leave when he saw that the one-eyed old man was about to follow him. He couldn''t help but complain in his heart. How could he not have enough time? If he didn''t escape now, his life would be in danger.


    The middle-aged Spirit Master estimated the time in his heart. He knew that the charcoal would explode soon. Without paying any more attention to the one-eyed old man, he hurriedly walked down the altar and arrived at a corner where he stood and untied his belt.


    At this moment, the one-eyed old man was constantly staring at the middle-aged Daoist Priest.


    Seeing him standing there motionlessly, the middle-aged Spirit Master impatiently asked, "In the end, are you really going to let go of my hand? Why are you always looking at my things? "If you don''t understand, then walk away. If others look at me, I won''t be able to pull them out!"


    The one-eyed old man knew that he couldn''t afford to offend him at this moment. Firstly, he needed him to concoct a Jade Urn Pill, and secondly, he wanted to learn pill refining techniques. But he was also afraid that he would be cheated and run away. Therefore, the one-eyed old man had no choice but to untie his belt and prepare to untie it!


    The middle-aged Daoist saw that he had unbuckled his belt and was taking out the item. He was enjoying the process of unravelling it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the one-eyed old man.

 C31

    When the one-eyed old man saw that the middle-aged Daoist had already untied his belt, he began to untie it from the side and began to untie it.


    Who would''ve thought that the old Daoist would use trickery? He only put on a show and didn''t intend on giving him a slip of the tongue. The one-eyed old man saw the middle-aged Daoist coming towards him at the critical moment. He wanted to free his hands to control the bell, but he couldn''t.


    In that split-second, the middle-aged Daoist quickly reached into the one-eyed Daoist Priest''s waist and took out the bronze bell. Just as he was about to show the one-eyed Daoist that he was finally free, a "bang" sound came from the side, causing the two of them to hurriedly squat down.


    The octagonal copper cauldron had been blown high by the middle-aged Daoist Priest''s simplistic explosive. The aftermath of the explosion had shaken down some of the mud on the ceiling. The underground square was immediately thrown into chaos. When the pitiful old men, who were still foolishly guarding the cauldron, saw the cauldron explode, they hurriedly ran for their lives. However, due to the soil seeping into the cauldron, they were unable to see each other clearly. Who would have thought that just like that, the cauldron fell down from the top of the mountain and smashed into the green-clothed old men. The copper cauldron landed on the ground with a "weng" sound. A few people didn''t even make a sound before being smashed into meat paste.


    When the middle-aged Daoist Priest heard the sound of the copper cauldron hitting the ground, he hurriedly stood up to take a look at the situation. The zombie-like crowd was awakened by the sudden explosion. Many people looked at their surroundings in amazement. Seeing that everyone was awake, the warriors surrounding them raised their swords in an attempt to control them again. Some of the young men began to fight with the warriors who had suddenly awoken and wanted to surround the villagers with their swords.


    After Zhang Lin Xuan woke up, he immediately took part in the battle. He knocked down several warriors who wanted to rush forward, and then looked around. He saw a hole behind him that looked like an exit, so he led everyone towards it.


    All of a sudden, the sounds of fighting shook the sky. Although the warriors had swords, there were still a lot of people on this side. Within a short while, twenty to thirty warriors had been knocked down by the crowd. The crowd was aggrieved, killing these unknown bad guys. As soon as one warrior fell to the ground, more than a dozen of them would immediately trample on him with their feet. Immediately, many warriors cried out in grief.


    When the one eyed old man saw this scene, he immediately became dumbstruck. He stood there stupidly without moving, and then covered his face and started to cry.


    The middle-aged Daoist walked in front of him and said, "You''re already so old, and you still have the nerve to cry? Hurry up and give me the antidote or I''ll make your death miserable! "


    The one eyed old man was already in absolute despair, and did not care about the words of the middle-aged Daoist Priest at all.


    When the middle-aged Daoist Priest saw that he was unmoved, he swung his leg and kicked him.


    The one-eyed elder had originally given up on resisting, but when he saw the middle-aged Daoist being so arrogant, he threw a palm towards him.


    When the middle-aged Daoist saw that this old man was desperately resisting, he immediately used a technique to deal with him. Previously, it was due to the fear of controlling the Gu poison that the little bell didn''t make a move against the people from the Mob Cult. As a noble junior brother of Taoist Iron Sword, he was definitely not an ordinary person.


    After a few moves, he knew more than half of the one-eyed old man''s martial arts, so he started using the Emei Sect''s martial arts skills to greet the one-eyed old man.


    When the one eyed old man saw that he had used the Emei Sect''s skill, he sneered and thought: With this skill, aren''t you going to use an egg to hit a rock?!


    The middle-aged Daoist Priest and the one-eyed old man exchanged a few more blows. Every time he was about to make a move, the one-eyed old man would immediately see through him. The middle-aged Spirit Master exclaimed in his heart, ''Could it be that this one-eyed old man has some deep connection with the Emei Faction?'' How come I''ve never heard of him before?


    The middle-aged Daoist Priest had an idea and used a martial art that Taoist Iron Sword had created.


    Originally, the one-eyed old man was very pleased with himself as he saw Shi Mu use the familiar art of Emei. He felt that he had won for sure. But who would have thought that his move would suddenly change from a gentle palm technique with inner strength to a move that fiercely rushed forward? After a few consecutive moves, the one-eyed old man was caught unprepared.


    When the one-eyed old man saw that he had been defeated, he used his secret technique, "Soulreaver". As a result, he allowed the middle-aged Spirit Master three moves, and before the middle-aged Spirit Master could make his move, he removed the eyepatch that had blocked his blind eye.


    The middle-aged Spirit Master was just about to call out to him again, but when he looked again, he saw that he had taken off the eyepatch. The eyelid of the blind eye had shrunk, leaving only a dry hole. Around the eye socket, the dried up nerves were like the roots of an old tree, giving people goosebumps.


    Just as the middle-aged Daoist Priest was about to move his gaze away from the one-eyed old man''s face, a ray of azure light suddenly flashed out from the empty eye sockets.


    The middle-aged Spirit Master thought to himself, "Not good. This'' Moo Cult ''is most adept at controlling the will of people. If this green light hits me, I''m afraid I''ll have to do the same as the 499 people before me."


    Just at that moment, the middle-aged Daoist instinctively used his hand, and that azure light justly and justly struck the center of the middle-aged Daoist Priest''s palm.


    With a "Ah," the middle-aged Daoist Priest''s palm was solidly pierced by the azure light. The middle-aged Daoist Priest fearfully flipped his palm over and saw that the hole had already become charred black. A stench of burnt flesh slowly entered his nose!


    The middle-aged Spirit Master saw that one of his hands was instantly crippled by this old fart, and the anger that rose up in his heart became uncontrollable. He jumped into the air, and using his entire body''s Qi to his other hand, and using his palm as a sword, he performed one of the techniques of Taoist Tieshan''s "Dang Sword Art" ¨C Indestructible!


    The middle-aged Daoist Priest''s palm immediately turned red like a red-hot iron. Due to the speed at which it was hacked down, there was actually a "weng weng" sound of breaking wind.


    When the one-eyed old Daoist saw that the middle-aged Daoist Priest had already killed to the point where his eyes were bloodshot, and had used a move that left no room for manoeuvre, he was greatly shocked in his heart. It was not easy for him to see a flaw of the middle-aged Spirit Master. He should have been able to defeat him with a single move, but who knew that his fighting spirit was completely gone.


    When the middle-aged Daoist saw that the trap had been set up and the one-eyed old man was about to escape, he shouted, "One-eyed old thief, hand your life over!"


    The middle-aged Daoist immediately used five to six moves. It seemed as if five to six lightning bolts had struck the one-eyed old man under his body.


    The one-eyed old man''s body was struck by the middle-aged Spirit Master''s power, causing his body to twitch five or six times. It was as if his body was cut by an extremely sharp blade at the same time. At the same time, black blood spurted out from his body. His body then fell piece by piece onto the muddy ground.


    At the end of the sentence, his mouth said, "You''re playing dirty!"

 C32

    When the middle-aged Spirit Master saw that the one-eyed old man had broken into pieces, he let out a long sigh.


    Murong Feng was still searching for Zhang Lin Xuan in the dark night, but he was worried about Huang''er''s safety. Just as he was overwhelmed with anxiety, he heard a dull explosion not far away.


    Murong Feng immediately became spirited and leaped onto the roof. He focused his eyes and saw that five miles away, there was some white smoke coming out. For a moment there was a faint noise.


    Seeing this, Murong Feng was overjoyed. With a few leaps, he had already arrived at the location of the incident.


    He saw a large group of people fighting a few red-robed warriors with swords. One of them had the agility to topple several warriors. He was no more than twenty years old, his face was covered in blood, and his clothes were dyed red with blood.


    This person was Zhang Linxuan. He had killed many warriors in a single breath. Looking at the wounded commoners, he didn''t even have time to rest before he immediately kicked one of the warriors who was about to kill one of the fallen commoners.


    Murong Feng saw that Zhang Linxuan was safe and sound and was about to reunite with him. In the end, a martial artist quietly walked up to the back of Zhang Lin Xuan, quietly lifted his steel saber, clenched his teeth, and used all his strength to chop down at Zhang Lin Xuan''s neck.


    With a flash, Murong Feng appeared in front of the warrior and used his hand to grab the steel sabre. The warrior''s mouth dropped open in shock, and he froze for a moment. Murong Feng lifted his leg and kicked the warrior far away.


    Zhang Linxuan sent a warrior flying with a single palm. As he turned around, he discovered that it was actually Murong Feng. He was overjoyed.


    Murong Feng saw Zhang Lin Xuan looking at him with a smile on his face. He slapped him with the fan in his hand and said, "Silly boy, we''ve put in a lot of effort in order to recruit you!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan scratched the back of his head and said, "I''ve made everyone worry!" He then looked behind Murong Feng and said, "I wonder how Miss Huang and the rest are doing outside?!"


    Murong Feng said, "When your Huang girl heard you were missing, she was so anxious that tears streamed down her cheeks. Now that she went to chase after a masked woman in red, I think it won''t be long before you see her!"


    While the two of them were talking, the surrounding red-robed warriors were pushed to the ground one by one by the crowd. Everyone was trying their best to continue using the human tactic, kicking the bodies of the warriors with their feet. At this moment, everyone''s murderous intent was piqued, and they didn''t feel the slightest bit of pity for him. In just a short while, all the warriors had been knocked to the ground. Some were dead, while some were wounded. For a time, howls of agony filled the air.


    Seeing that the situation had settled down, the two called for everyone to report to the yamen and had the yamen''s people deal with the warriors. A few young men ran to report to the officers, and the rest surrounded the warriors, in case they ran away and called for reinforcements.


    After Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng had arranged everything, they were just about to leave when they saw a shaggy haired, stinking Daoist Priest wobbling out of the cave entrance.


    When Murong Feng saw this Daoist Priest, he asked Zhang Linxuan, "Who is this Daoist Priest?!"


    Zhang Linxuan shook his head and said, "I''m not too sure either. But when I came out, I saw that he was fighting with a one-eyed old man. It seems that he''s already killed that old man!"


    Murong Feng suggested, "Let''s go take a look. If he''s with this group of warriors, we can''t let him slip through the net!"


    Thus, the two walked forward to interrogate the middle-aged Daoist.


    After the middle-aged Spirit Master tidied up the one-eyed old man, he was completely exhausted. Adding on the injuries on his hand, he immediately lost all of his strength. However, he was afraid that the red-clothed Holy Maiden might come back. In order to avoid being persecuted by the so-called Holy Maiden again, it was still a three or six stratagem.


    The middle-aged Daoist carefully walked forward, watching the angry crowd beat to death or cripple them one by one. He was scared to death, but fortunately, these people had long been hypnotized by the Holy Maiden and did not know that he was the one who planned to capture them.


    When he walked out of the cave entrance, he wanted to slip away from the cave entrance, but just as he was about to walk out of the wall, he was blocked by two people.


    His body was already very weak to begin with. When he saw that he had been discovered again, the middle-aged Spirit Master sat on the ground in despair. With his eyes lowered, he thought to himself, "Damn, I''m really unlucky!"


    When Murong Feng and Zhang Lin Xuan saw that this ugly Daoist Priest was about to slip away, they stealthily moved forward to block him. Who knew that this Taoist was so timid that when he saw the two of them, he collapsed onto the ground in fright? He hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the Daoist Priest''s face was indescribably ugly. Such a large birthmark, and those rat-like eyes, it was hard to associate them with the image of the person that flashed through his mind.


    So he asked him, "Who are you? Why are you here?! "


    The middle-aged Daoist Priest had originally lost all hope. All he needed to do was wait for them to capture him. At the very least, he wouldn''t be captured by that cruel Holy Maiden again. He could only hear this person ask him a question. Under the pale moonlight, he could not see the outline of this human face, but the voice shook him, causing him to stand up quickly. He looked at this familiar face in a daze and said: "Xuan''er, it''s me!" As he finished speaking, he grabbed Zhang Lin Xuan and began to heartily laugh. He then pushed away Zhang Lin Xuan and carefully examined him. After confirming that it was undoubtedly him, he fiercely hugged him.


    Zhang Linxuan was stunned for a moment. It was true that this voice belonged to Martial Uncle, but it didn''t seem to be Martial Uncle. When the Daoist priest in front of him had calmed down from his excitement, he asked: "You are my Martial Uncle? "But my Uncle-Master isn''t like you!"


    When the middle-aged Spirit Master heard him say that, he pointed at him and smiled, "It has been half a year since I last came out to the martial arts world. Why are you still so stupid? "Look!"


    As he finished speaking, the middle-aged Daoist Priest extended his hand to his ear and gently lifted off the thin mask. A clean-edged, sword-like face appeared in front of Zhang Lin Xuan.


    When Zhang Linxuan saw that it was his own Uncle-Master, he immediately prepared to kowtow. Martial Uncle quickly helped him up and said, "Martial Uncle, today I met with misfortune. I didn''t expect to meet you again. I was truly fortunate!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan happily looked at his martial uncle. He quickly pulled Murong Feng over and introduced him as well, "This is my sworn elder brother, he is known as the ''Flying Leopard Cat'' Murong Feng!"


    Martial Uncle sized up Murong Feng and asked: "You''re a flying leopard cat?!"


    Murong Feng cupped his hands and said, "I am indeed Murong Feng. It is my pleasure to meet you again!"


    Martial Uncle indifferently "Oh." He no longer looked at him and asked Zhang Linxuan, "Why have you come here?!"

 C33

    Zhang Lin Xuan recounted the incident of them meeting that old Western Xia man in the night market and following them all the way here before being escorted to the underground square.


    Martial Uncle nodded and stroked his long beard. He then said to himself, "Oh, this could be considered a good opportunity!"


    Zhang Linxuan saw that his Uncle-Master had said something he didn''t understand, so he asked, "Uncle-Master, why are you here?!"


    Martial Uncle raised the palm in his hand and said: "It''s a long story!"


    Zhang Linxuan knew his Senior Martial Uncle''s personality. As long as he didn''t want to say it, no matter how others tried to force him, it would be of no use.


    Mu Rong Feng saw his two juniors reminiscing about the past, so he didn''t rashly go over to disturb them. But the most important thing right now was that Huang''er wasn''t back yet. As he thought of this, he stepped forward and said to Zhang Linxuan, "Brother Zhang, since Miss Huang has not returned yet, we should think of a way!"


    Once Murong Feng reminded Zhang Lin Xuan, he then remembered that Huang''er''s whereabouts were unknown. He asked for guidance from his Martial Uncle, "Martial Uncle, we have a friend whose whereabouts are unknown. Do you have any ideas?!"


    Martial Uncle asked: "Do you know which direction she left in?!"


    Murong Feng looked around and said, "We''re heading northwest!"


    Martial Uncle took out the compass and looked at the sky. He extended his finger and counted, "Your friend should be fine now, but if you want to find her, you''ll definitely have to suffer some setbacks!"


    Murong Feng looked at this Taoist''s serious expression and felt disdain towards him, but he couldn''t say it out loud. With a face full of smiles, he said, "Taoist, can you figure out where she is?!"


    Martial Uncle made another calculation and raised his head to look at the sky. He shook his head and said, "No, but she should be in the southeast region now."


    As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan saw that his Martial Uncle had already calculated Huang''er''s position, he suggested that everyone follow this direction and search for her.


    Murong Feng didn''t budge. He said that the best thing to do right now was to meet up with Chief Xu and the others. Who knows?


    Seeing that Murong Feng didn''t believe him, the uncle-master hurriedly explained, "Since Great Hero Mu Rong doesn''t believe me, then I will just waste my time talking. When you find this person in the future, you''ll know that my words are accurate and not accurate!"


    After he finished speaking, he was about to bid farewell to Zhang Lin Xuan, saying that he was looking for an inn to stay in so that he could heal his wounds.


    Zhang Lin Xuan told him to stay at the inn where he and Mu Rong Feng had stayed. After he was done with his work, he would go and look for him.


    Zhang Lin Xuan let out a long breath as he watched his martial uncle leave. Then, he and Murong Feng went to meet up with Xu Dao at the entrance of the alleyway.


    Huang''er had thought that she would be able to capture the woman in red within a mile or two. Who knew that this woman in red would be so cunning. After realizing that she had almost caught up to her, she suddenly quickened her steps and then suddenly stopped to look back at him. She made him think that she was playing some tricks again and wanted to stop to see what exactly she was doing. Just as she was about to stop, the woman in red quickened her pace and ran forward. Just like this, he repeated the process several times, making himself feel extremely agitated.


    At this moment, the Holy Maiden was extremely anxious. She would occasionally look back at the girl who was relentlessly pursuing her. Seeing that her method had succeeded, although she could temporarily delay her, it would not be that easy to escape. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the Imperial Street, her heart had already been thrown into disarray. At this moment, in order to prevent the girl from finding Eunuch Dong, she steeled her heart and ran in another direction.


    When Huang''er saw that the woman in red had suddenly changed directions, she hastily ran in front of the woman in red.


    The Holy Maiden saw that Huang''er had predicted her direction ahead of time, and a moment later, she saw that Huang''er was already in front of her, standing there proudly, waiting for her. Terrified, he wanted to flee in another direction.


    When Huang''er saw the woman in red running away, she quickly landed in front of her. The Holy Maiden turned in another direction, and Huang''er arrived in front of her.


    After repeating this three times, Huang''er once again beat him to it. She leisurely said, "I say, are you tired? If you want to run away from me, there''s only one way, and that is to beat me! Otherwise, don''t even think about escaping today! "


    When the Holy Maiden saw this, she thought to herself: It looks like I won''t be able to avoid a fight today! Then, he changed his attitude and said in a low voice, "Alright, I have endured it so many times today, but you have forced me again and again. It seems that I will start a massacre today!"


    Huang''er coldly smiled and said, "Then I''ll see how many taels you have today!" With that, he took a big stride forward and used the "Falling Leaf Palm" to fight with the Holy Maiden.


    Since the Holy Maiden was still thinking about meeting with Eunuch Dong, she was already full of flaws after a few moves. Luckily, Huang''er''s "Falling Wind Falling Leaf Palm" was still not proficient enough, so the Holy Maiden had some time to react. If she were to meet an old man who had been using this technique for a long time, he would be able to kill her in ten moves.


    Huang''er was adept at using the sword. Although she had already learned this technique for a very long time, she had not used it for a long time, so she had always used it. The next move required a period of time before she could recall it, so she basically used one now.


    Even so, Huang''er was gradually gaining the upper hand. In less than thirty moves, Huang''er''s palm struck the Holy Maiden''s chest. The Holy Maiden''s body was like a kite with its string cut, spitting out a mouthful of blood as she was sent flying.


    Seeing that her palm had hit its target, Huang''er hurried to where the Holy Maiden was lying and said: "I''ll see if you can escape now?"


    One of her hands supported on the ground as she struggled to stand up. However, she was pushed back one step by this girl and heard her provocative words. In her heart, she was furious: [I will let you know the price of being arrogant right now!] He saw one of her hands slip into his waist pocket and touch her medicine bottle. She couldn''t help but let out a sneer.


    Huang''er saw that she was half-lying on the ground and didn''t say a word. She couldn''t help but feel that it was strange. She tentatively took a step forward, wanting to see what exactly she wanted to do.


    When the Holy Maiden saw that the time had come, she took out the medicine bottle from her pocket and prepared to open it. She then sprinkled all the powder from the bottle onto this girl''s body in order to repay the fact that she had been chasing her and was still mocking her hatred.


    Thinking of this, the Holy Maiden slowly stood up. Of course, it wasn''t because she wanted to show her unyielding courage. She endured the pain as she stood up, but to take out the medicine bottle so she could throw out the medicinal powder!


    Seeing the Holy Maiden stagger to her feet, Huang''er was greatly alarmed!

 C34

    What surprised Huang''er was that behind the Holy Maiden, there was actually a black-clothed person wearing a gold-plated mask.


    Huang''er couldn''t believe her eyes. She hurriedly rubbed them. Under the pale moonlight, Huang''er couldn''t help but feel a chill from the motionless black clothed man.


    The Holy Maiden saw Huang''er standing still, staring at her with wide eyes. He thought to himself: Could she have found out?! Then, he rejected the idea that he had just made. "If she discovered me, why didn''t she make a move?"


    At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Go and do what you need to do. I will deal with this young lady!"


    The Holy Maiden was overjoyed. So it was him!


    He quickly turned around and bowed to the man in black, "Yes, master!"


    Just as the Holy Maiden was about to leave, the black-clothed man stopped her. He took out a small medicine bottle from his belt and handed it to her. "Pay him immediately. Don''t let him know that you''re injured!"


    The Holy Maiden took the medicine bottle and prepared to leave.


    Huang''er shouted, "Don''t even think about leaving!" With that, he leapt up and ran towards the Holy Maiden.


    The black-clothed man didn''t move. His figure suddenly appeared in front of the Holy Maiden, and he struck a palm towards Huang''er.


    When the Holy Maiden saw that her master had taken over, she no longer paid any attention to him and directly walked towards the Imperial Street.


    Huang''er was surprised to see the man in black standing in front of her. His movement was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was already by his side.


    Huang''er knew that his palm strike seemed soft and powerless, but the hidden strength in it could be extremely powerful. Because she wasn''t confident, Huang''er instantly clamped her legs together and made use of the momentum to roll a meter away from the man in black.


    The man in black saw Huang''er turn around and leave. He didn''t take the opportunity to attack her again. Instead, he calmly stood to the side and said, "Little girl, good skill. If you stop now, I can spare your life!"


    Huang''er stopped and said, "What a good dog!" If you don''t stop me from chasing after that girl, I can spare your life! Otherwise, don''t blame me for being impolite! "


    The black-clothed man raised his head and laughed. "What a sharp tongued little girl. Your age is so light, this old man can''t bear to lay a hand on you." "I advise you not to cause too much trouble. There are some things in the martial arts world that shouldn''t be left to youngsters like you. If you don''t listen to my advice, it might bring about a fatal disaster!"


    After Huang''er heard the long speech from the black clothed man, she said, "I hate people like you who think they are old. Aren''t you just relying on your old age to show off? I don''t want to waste words with you, don''t waste my time chasing after that woman in red, get out of my way! " After he finished speaking, he was about to walk away from the man in black.


    The black clothed person obviously didn''t listen to her and blocked her path.


    Huang''er knew that he was stalling for time, but once they started fighting, she wasn''t sure if she could win. Not only that, but she also thought that if she didn''t capture that woman in red, then Zhang Lin Xuan''s life would be in danger!


    Thinking of this, Huang''er couldn''t care less and used the Autumn Wind Fallen Leaf Palm to call out to the man in black.


    When the black-clothed man saw how stubborn this girl was, he started to call for her.


    Since Huang''er and the woman in red were also ''Autumn Wind Falling Leaf Palm'' just now, it was very easy to use it this time. Huang''er''s palm made the wind howl, but the man in black only blocked it. Huang''er knew that her goal was to stall for time and didn''t want to confront him. Knowing that she had fallen into his trap, she decided to leave.


    Who knew that the black clothed man was like a dose of dog skin plaster. No matter how hard he tried to dodge, the black clothed man would always be able to pester him.


    After dozens of moves, Huang''er was already drenched in sweat. However, the black clothed man could still deal with it easily.


    Huang''er thought to herself: If I continue delaying like this, it won''t be possible. If I don''t want to come up with a good plan, then the woman in red definitely won''t be able to catch up!


    Thus, a bright idea came to her. Seeing that the black clothed person was once again standing in front of her, she did not use any more moves, only slamming her body against the black clothed person once more.


    The man in black didn''t expect that he would have instinctively avoided her attack.


    Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Huang''er ran forward with all his might.


    The black clothed man saw that he had been careless and allowed this little girl to run away. He no longer had the patience to deal with her. In a flash, he grabbed Huang''er.


    Huang''er felt as if her shoulder was being gripped by an iron claw. She wanted to move but couldn''t.


    This time, the black-clothed man didn''t waste any more words with her. He twisted his finger and pointed at Huang''er''s Shan Zhong acupuncture point.


    Huang''er immediately fainted.


    Under the assistance of the black-clothed man, the Holy Maiden finally shook off Huang''er. She swallowed the pill given to her by the man in black, wiped the blood from her mouth, and hurried on to King Street.


    Dong Song Chen had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw a masked woman in red heading towards him, he knew that she must have been the one who had made the agreement with him last night.


    The Holy Maiden walked up to Dong Song Chen and bowed, "Eunuch Dong!"


    Dong Song Chen looked at her and said angrily: "Just like him, you always like to be late!"


    The Holy Maiden lowered her head to look at Dong Song Chen and said, "I have been delayed by some chores, please forgive me, Eunuch Dong!"


    Seeing that her attitude was not bad, Dong Song Chen did not bother with her, and said: "Forget it, I''m too lazy to bother with you! "Come with me right now and take me somewhere!"


    After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.


    The Holy Maiden followed behind him silently.


    After about a quarter of an hour, Dong Song Chen stopped in front of a house and left.


    When the Holy Maiden saw that Eunuch Dong did not continue walking forward, she stopped and asked, "Eunuch Dong, are we there yet?"


    Dong Song Chen smiled and said, "We''re here!"


    When the Holy Maiden saw that Dong Song Chen was laughing so strangely, she raised her head to see what exactly was happening here. When she raised her head and saw the signboard in front of the door, she was immediately stunned. She saw three words written on the signboard: "Soft Fragrance Pavilion"!


    The Holy Maiden looked at the signboard and was instantly rendered speechless. It took her a long time before she asked hesitantly, "Eunuch Dong, this is ¡­" What... "Place?!"


    When Dong Song Chen saw her shocked expression, he seemed to enjoy it. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "This is a brothel, commonly known as a brothel!"


    Even though she already knew in her heart where this place was, when the Holy Maiden heard the name of this place from someone else, she still felt disgusted!


    The Holy Maiden asked in despair, "What are we doing here?"


    Dong Song Chen covered his mouth and laughed, and said: "What do you think we are doing here in the middle of the night? If I say that you believe us, will you believe us?! "


    When the Holy Maiden saw Eunuch Dong''s actions, she wished that she could slap him hard in his face. However, when she thought of her master''s orders, she suppressed the anger in her heart!

 C35

    Dong Song Chen looked at the Holy Maiden''s furious expression and knew that she did not dare to say anything else. He ignored her and went straight to the door, knocked on it and stood aside to wait for someone to open it.


    The door was opened by the bawd of the ''Soft Fragrance Pavilion''. When she saw that it was Dong Song Chen, she brought the two of them to Tang An''an''s room.


    As they passed by the corridor, the Holy Maiden, with her face covered, walked behind the two of them with a perturbed mood, observing the surroundings of the brothel.


    It was already late at night, and most of the rooms had their lights turned off. Occasionally, there would be a laugh or two. Other than that, there was only the sound of the Brothel Keeper, Eunuch Dong, and his own footsteps. He sighed inwardly at the thought of living in this strange, dirty environment for a while.


    While the Holy Maiden was grieving over her own loss, a reckless person appeared out of nowhere and hurriedly rushed towards her. The Holy Maiden did not come back to her senses for a while, and was knocked back a few steps by this fellow. The Holy Maiden turned around and saw a fat fellow rolling down the stairs like a ball. As if he was anxious to be reborn, he ran out of the ''Soft Fragrance Pavilion''!


    Looking at this fellow''s comical appearance, he could not help but smile. However, thinking about his current situation, he felt that if he could be like this ball-like fellow and roll out and never come back, it would be a very enjoyable thing. However, when he thought of his master''s instructions, he knew that it was just a thought. He had to accept reality!


    When the Holy Maiden saw the old procuress and Eunuch Dong stop in one room, she knew that the person inside must be the girl who looked exactly like her. And then, he quickly walked a few steps to catch up.


    The old procuress knocked on the door a few times, and after the door opened with a creak, a delicate face peeked out.


    When her delicate face saw that it was Dong Song Chen, she hurriedly gave Dong Song Chen a ''blessings'' and said, "This little girl greets Eunuch Dong!"


    Dong Song Chen nodded at her, smiled at her in satisfaction, and then looked at the Holy Maiden.


    When the Holy Maiden standing outside saw this exquisite face, her eyes widened in surprise. She couldn''t help but suspect that she was dreaming. Her heart cried out that this was impossible!


    Seeing that she had completed her mission, the old procuress said to Dong Song Chen, "Eunuch Dong, I''ve completed my mission. I shall take my leave now!" After he finished, he stood still and looked at Dong Song Chen with a smile.


    Dong Song Chen was immersed in the satisfaction of his masterpiece, interrupted by the bawd''s words. He was stunned for a moment, then unhappily took out a packet of silver taels from his sleeve, and indicated that she could leave now.


    When the bawd saw the silver, both her eyes lit up. She happily held the cloth bag in her hands and weighed it in her hand. She was very satisfied. Then, she drifted away like a wisp of smoke.


    When Tang An saw a lady dressed in red with a white veil standing in the corridor, he asked Dong Song Chen, "Eunuch Dong, what is the purpose of this lady standing outside?!"


    When Dong Song Chen saw that Tang An had asked this question, he smiled and pinched the tip of her nose, saying, "This lady is your long-lost sister. I''ve brought her to meet you today!"


    Tang An patted Dong Song Chen on the shoulder and said in a charming voice, "Eunuch Dong, you''re joking again!"


    Dong Song Chen waved to the Holy Maiden and entered his room. He sat on a round wooden stool and started sipping his tea.


    The Holy Maiden walked slowly down the corridor and into the room, staring into Don Anthea''s face. This made Tang An feel quite flustered. He kept checking his own clothes, wondering where they were not neatly tidied up.


    When Dong Song Chen saw that the Holy Maiden had entered the room, he signaled for Tang An''an to close the door. He then said to the Holy Maiden, "You can now take off your veil!"


    After closing the door, Tang An An was about to turn around to see the appearance of his sister that Eunuch Dong had mentioned. When she raised her head and saw the Holy Maiden gently take off her veil, the scene before her shocked her into taking two or three steps back. She then said, "That''s impossible! I don''t have a big sister. Why do you look so similar to me?"


    The Holy Maiden glanced at Dong Song Chen and said with a fake smile, "This is what fate calls us in our previous lives!"


    Dong Song Chen chuckled and stood up, saying, "You guys were reincarnated by Guan Yin Bodhisattva. She must have gotten muddle-headed and lost her memory. She gave you two gifts in a row and ended up like this!"


    With that, he walked up to Tang An An and said, "Didn''t you say you wanted to leave this Sea of Bitterness? Now, I have given you a chance, as long as you teach her to be exactly like you, your identity will be exchanged with hers, and then you will be her, and you will be free, and you won''t have to stay in this place anymore, okay?! "


    Tang An An looked suspiciously at Dong Song Chen, staring into his eyes as he asked, "Eunuch Dong, do your words count?"


    Dong Song Chen said seriously: "We are men, we are men!" How can words not count?! " He immediately covered his mouth, thinking that he had said something wrong, but then said, "Miss Tang, didn''t I have an agreement with you the last time I brought you to see the emperor?!"


    Tang An An An immediately held back his laughter. He paused for a moment before saying, "That''s right. Your Eunuch Dong still remembers this!"


    Dong Song Chen continued: "Look, the opportunity that I mentioned before, isn''t it now?! I hope you can teach her well until I can''t even tell which one of you is which. Then you can be free! "


    "Is that true?!" Tang An asked with a stern expression.


    Dong Song Chen did not continue with his'' generous speech '', and said coldly: "Things have already come to this point, you have no choice. If you hadn''t been able to gain the favor of the emperor last time, I wouldn''t need to go through so much trouble with you now. I hope you take it as that! "


    When Tang An An saw that Dong Song Chen had lost his temper, he stopped talking and stood to the side with a cold expression.


    When Dong Song Chen saw the displeasure on Tang An''s face, he smiled and said, "Miss Tang, please don''t bear grudges against us. As long as you do a good job on this, we''ll both benefit. Why not?"


    With a wronged expression, Tang An said, "I didn''t say that I don''t agree. I just wanted Eunuch Dong to give me a guarantee. Who knew that you would be so fierce towards me? To think that I still trust you so much!"


    When Dong Song Chen heard Tang An''s words, his patience ran out. He quickly pulled the Holy Maiden over and said to them, "The two of you will live together tonight and get to know each other better. I''ve already informed the old procuress. From tomorrow night on, you don''t have to receive any guests." Then he pointed to the Holy Maiden and said, "Tomorrow night, you will begin to come over to learn her every move and singing and dancing. In a month, I will come again to visit you two!" After saying that, he hurriedly opened the door and left.


    After Dong Song Chen had left, Tang An An walked over to the table and sat down softly. He said to the Holy Maiden, "Elder sister, come over and sit as well!"

 C36

    The Holy Maiden unconsciously frowned when she saw how gentle and gentle Tang An An was.


    Seeing that the Holy Maiden had not moved, Tang An tried to persuade her. "You and I are both women, and we are both bitter people, so I hope that we can happily accomplish this task well!"


    When the Holy Maiden saw how considerate Tang An was, she secretly thought to herself that her master had already arranged for her to be here. She thought that if she wanted to rebel against her master, she would be courting death, and just like what Tang An An had said, she would be a woman with a bitter life. When she thought of this, she couldn''t help but feel pity for him and didn''t want to make things difficult for him anymore.


    When Tang An heard this, he covered his mouth with his sleeve and laughed. "Elder sister, aren''t you trying to flatter me for my beauty?"


    When the Holy Maiden heard this, she smiled and said, "How could I have forgotten about this?!"


    Tang An saw his elder sister''s boldness and was suddenly filled with envy. He turned to the Holy Maiden and said, "My younger sister wishes to request a favor from my elder sister. I wonder if my elder sister can agree to it first?"


    The Holy Maiden saw that Tang An''an had something he needed help with, so she took a sip of the tea. Then, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve and asked curiously, "Oh? If there''s anything I can do for you, just say it! "


    Tang An slowly stood up and said, "Seeing how free and easy my sister is, I admire her greatly. I also want my sister to imitate your every word and action, and we also want to reveal all of our secrets." "At that time, even Eunuch Dong would not be able to tell who we are. What do you think?"


    She touched her lips, paced back and forth, and then replied, "Okay, from today on, you teach me your side, I teach you my side. Now, I''ll teach you the first move, clapping your hands like a man and making an oath!" He raised a hand, waiting to strike an oath with Tang An''s palm.


    He saw Tang An An slowly walk over and gently pat the Holy Maiden''s palm.


    When the Holy Maiden saw her like this, she told Don Ang to stop and she came to clap. Tang An An stood there. The Holy Maiden walked over and gave him a casual pat. Tang An An took a few steps back, staggered, and then fell to the ground.


    The Holy Maiden was startled and hurriedly ran over to help her up, asking her with concern if she was alright.


    Don Anthea smiled and said, "It''s fine! It would be better if we became sworn sisters, what do you think?! "


    The Holy Maiden agreed. The two of them held hands. When they thought of how it was like looking at each other''s faces, they couldn''t help smiling in a similar manner.


    At the exit of the alleyway, the Zhang Lin Xuan duo found the anxious Xu Ying and Liu Qing, and explained the situation inside to them.


    When Xu Yingdao heard that Huang''er had disappeared, he was at a loss. He paced back and forth on the side, unable to come up with a good plan.


    Murong Feng saw how worried Xu Yingdao was and said, "There''s no need to worry. We should be able to find her if we continue to search in the direction she left in."


    Zhang Lin Xuan added, "In my opinion, if it''s just the three of us, who knows how long we''ll be able to find such a huge city like Lin An. It would be better to send Liu Qing back to report to second senior brother and organize the rest of the escort team to go with us. Escort leader, you have to mark this place, just in case Miss Huang comes back, tell her to go back to the escort office. In case we look for her again! "


    After Xu Yingtou heard Zhang Lin Xuan''s words, he gave him a big thumbs up and praised, "Young Hero Zhang normally never divulges his talent, but when it comes to critical moments, it''s truly a calm before death!"


    Murong Feng teased, "As long as it''s something about Miss Huang, he will take it very seriously!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan said with a worried expression, "Brother Murong, let''s not joke around at this time!" Let''s hurry up and start! "


    Murong Feng knew he was more anxious than anyone else, so he stopped teasing him.


    Xu Que called Liu Qing to the side and was going to let her go back to the escort office. He told her to call for the shopkeeper to call for Dysprosium as soon as she got back to the escort office so they could know that Liu Qing had returned safely.


    Afterwards, the three of them looked for Huang''er.


    The three of them quickly passed through one street after another, but they still did not see Huang''er.


    It was close to dawn, and a thin layer of white fog had formed on the street. Dogs and dogs could hear each other wherever they went.


    The three of them had already spent an hour searching. Seeing Liu Qing return to the escort office and the ringing Dysprosium, Murong Feng stopped and pointed at the city gate in front of them and said: "We''ve been chasing after them the entire way and didn''t find anything. Did we find the wrong place?!"


    Zhang Linxuan caught up to him and said, "Perhaps we should listen to my Martial Uncle''s suggestions. Perhaps we might be able to find him?!"


    He said to Zhang Linxuan, "Soon it will be dawn, and once daylight breaks, there will be more and more people on the streets. If we try to look for her again, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, so we have to find Miss Huang at daybreak. Right now, we can only try our best to stay alive and gamble once, and we''ll listen to your Uncle-Master!"


    The three quickly adjusted their direction and headed towards the southeast.


    Not long after the three of them left, Murong Feng heard sounds of fighting not too far away, so he hastily gestured to the two people behind him that something was going on.


    The three of them lightly jumped onto the roof and stealthily touched the place where the sounds of fighting came from.


    At this moment, the moon had already set in the west, and the light of dawn had yet to appear in the horizon. The street was silent.


    The three of them moved closer to the voice. Only after a few meters did they see who it was. A man in black was currently fighting with a man wearing a square hat.


    The man in black''s punch was so powerful that it forced the man with the square hat back several meters. He wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but he was hit by the black clothed man in a few moves. Suddenly, the golem spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. It struggled to get up, but to no avail.


    He turned his head and tapped Xu Ying''s head, pointing anxiously at the man wearing the square hat on the ground.


    Xu Que understood what he meant. He looked around and whispered in his ear, "It''s this old man from the Western Xia!"


    After Zhang Lin Xuan heard Xu Yingying''s confirmation, he jumped forward and stood in front of the man in black and said, "Who are you? Why did you let others die! "


    The black-clothed man didn''t say anything further and shot a palm towards Zhang Lin Xuan.


    Zhang Linxuan saw that the black-clothed man had remained silent and began to fight with him.


    When Murong Feng and Xu Yingdao saw the battle in front of them, the two of them also rushed over and surrounded the black-clothed man together with Zhang Lin Xuan.


    The black-clothed man saw that the situation was not good and didn''t want to get entangled with them. He leaped high in the air and landed right in front of the Western Xia old man. He wanted to pick him up and escape.


    Murong Feng smiled coldly and landed on the black clothed man who was about to escape. Seeing that his escape had failed, the black clothed man left the old man and started to fight with Murong Feng.


    When Zhang Lin Xuan saw that Murong Feng had already stopped the man in black, he said to Leader Xu, "Escort leader, bring that Western Xia old man to the side and have Brother Murong and I take care of him!"

 C37

    Xu Que placed the Western Xia old man in a corner and saw that he was on the verge of death and unconscious. He felt his pulse and found that his internal organs had all been shattered by the black clothed man''s palm strike.


    Zhang Lin Xuan and Murong Feng were standing to the side, engaged in an intense battle with the black-clothed man. If the two of them joined forces, they would only be able to tie with the black-clothed man. Mu Rong Feng saw that this person had extraordinary skills. He was an expert, and was rarely seen even in the entire Central Plains martial arts world. Counting them up, there were only the Sect Leaders of a few major sects and a few outstanding disciples. Apart from this, there were very few news about a few masters of the climate appearing out of nowhere.


    The black clothed man saw that the strength of these two was not inferior to his. He had just fought with that old man from Western Xia for such a long time. If this continued, his physical strength would definitely not be as good as theirs. He wanted to leave.


    When Murong Feng saw that the man in black was about to leave, he stood up and gave chase. Zhang Lin Xuan was caught off guard as his chest was solidly hit by the palm. Immediately, his chest turned upside down, and his blood boiled. He had endured for a long time, but was still unable to hold it in, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.


    Just as Murong Feng was planning to split his soul into two, the man in black suddenly leapt up and leapt a mile away. Murong Feng couldn''t care less about Zhang Lin Xuan''s injuries. He stood up and gave chase. By now, the black-clothed man had already run far away.


    Seeing this situation, Murong Feng was not discouraged. He still insisted on chasing after them.


    When Xu Que saw that Zhang Lin Xuan had also recovered from his injuries, he hurried over to check on Zhang Lin Xuan''s injuries. Zhang Lin Xuan wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth and said, "It''s fine! Let''s go and see how his injuries are! "


    With that, he walked in front of the old man and asked Xu Que who was behind him: "Escort leader, how is he?"


    Xu Yingtou shook his head and said, "All of my organs have been destroyed by my palm energy. Other than Sai Hua Tuo, no one else in the martial arts world can cure it."


    At this moment, the Western Xia old man suddenly coughed out another mouthful of blood, then slowly opened his eyes, his lips slightly moving.


    Zhang Lin Xuan saw that Lin Ming seemed to be saying something, so he put his ear close to Lin Ming''s mouth and whispered, "Flower ¡­" Flat Magpie... Xixia... Harajot... "Gao Diliang ¡­" Hearing his words, Zhang Lin Xuan was at a loss for words. He wanted to ask him to say it again, but his eyes widened, and his body suddenly jerked twice before his head drooped down.


    Xu Que curiously walked over and asked Zhang Lin Xuan, "What did he say just now?!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan rubbed the back of his head and said, "He said something that I couldn''t understand. I don''t know what he meant!"


    "Tell me, if we analyze it together, we might be able to figure out what she is talking about."


    Zhang Lin Xuan tried his best to recall what the old man from the Western Xia said just now, "What he said seems to be flowers, a small magpie ¡­"


    "What are you two talking about here?" Murong Feng shouted at the two of them from far away.


    As soon as Zhang Lin Xuan saw that Murong Feng had returned, he hurried over and said, "Brother Murong, did you let that black-clothed man escape?!"


    Murong Feng spread his fan and said: "Em, it''s not that he escaped, it''s because he couldn''t catch up!"


    Zhang Lin Xuan asked in surprise, "There are only a few people in the martial arts world that can make it so that you can''t catch up with them. Then, who is this black-clothed man?!"


    Murong Feng lowered his head and thought for a moment. "In the martial arts world, there are only a few people who are better than me in terms of Qing Gong. However, based on the situation when we fought with him, he shouldn''t be those few. I''ve never seen his palm technique before. Could he be another hidden expert?"


    With that, he walked in front of the dead Western Xia old man, looked at the palm marks on the old man''s body, and asked: "Did you find any clues from him?"


    Zhang Linxuan said, "Before he died, he said a few words that no one could understand. Just now, I was discussing with Chief Escort Xu, and the words he left behind seemed to have no connection at all. Just what do you want us to convey?"


    At this time, the sky was already starting to brighten up. Mu Rong Feng looked at the sky and said, "Let''s talk about this matter after we find Miss Huang. It''s almost dawn. Let''s go down this road and search for her. Perhaps we might even meet her brother from the escort company!"


    The three of them continued to search for Huang''er.


    It was already dawn.


    Hengshui Inn''s shop assistant, Old Zhang, heard the roosters outside crowing and knew that he should get up to open the door. So he gathered up the bedclothes on the table, yawned, stretched, and, blinking sleepily, went to the door and removed the latch that lay between the panels. He was about to put the latch behind the door and open it for the first breath of the morning air.


    Just as he was about to release the latch, the two panels of the door moved as if someone were pushing the door indoors from the outside.


    This frightened Zhang Laoer so much that he lost all his sleepiness. He rubbed his eyes and thought to himself, "Am I seeing things?"


    Curiosity drove him to stealthily walk to the door and peek through the crack in the door. He found a person sitting in front of the door. From the ornaments on his head, he was sure it was a woman.


    Zhang Laoer''s heartbeat suddenly accelerated as he silently prayed in his heart: Don''t be a dead man!


    He looked at the woman through the crack in the door for a while, but did not see any reaction from her. He was shocked, [This is a dead man!]


    He kept saying to himself: Calm down! Calm down! He hurriedly called the shopkeeper up. He had said something big!


    Reluctantly, the grocer got out of bed, went out of the room, half closed his eyes, dressed, and complained loudly, "What is it? "You''ve been howling since early morning, where are you howling?!"


    Second Brother Zhang said shakily, "Shopkeeper, you''re right. It''s mourning. But it''s not me, it''s the person outside!"


    The shopkeeper slightly closed his eyes and opened them wide. "What about the people outside?" "Is this another beggar?!"


    Zhang Laoer looked at the door and shook his head, "It''s a woman!"


    When the shopkeeper heard it was a woman, he quickly looked in the direction of his room and said in a low voice, "Then hurry up and take her away. If you let her stay in front of my door and wake up, I won''t be able to wash her even if I jump to the Yellow River."


    Second Brother Zhang said with an expressionless face, "I observed that this woman should be dead. I stood there and looked at her for a long time, but she didn''t even move!"


    "Dead?!" The shopkeeper thought for a while. "Then we should just open the door, and cause so much trouble!"


    Second Brother Zhang said, "I opened the door by myself. If it''s a dead person and there''s no other witness present, I won''t be able to explain myself even if I were to go to the government office!"

 C38

    The shopkeeper glanced at Zhang Xiao and said with a smile, "I didn''t expect you to be so shrewd all the time!" Then, he suddenly opened the door.


    Then he saw a girl in blue fall from the threshold onto the floor of the shop.


    When the shopkeeper saw this, he was immediately scared and took two steps back. However, when he saw Huang''er''s pretty face, he couldn''t help but smile.


    On the side, Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded as he kept chanting: "Amitabha!" Great Benefit! "If there is revenge, if there is injustice, do not get involved with me!"


    The shopkeeper suppressed his fear and placed his trembling hands on Huang''er''s nose and mouth to test her. Feeling that she was still breathing, he calmed down and said to Zhang Xiao Er: "What are you afraid of, she''s not dead yet! "Hurry up and go to the kitchen to boil some water!"


    Upon hearing that the person wasn''t dead, Zhang Xiaohai clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky, saying, "Thank you, God for your blessing!"


    The storekeeper dragged Huang''er to a table and placed her down on a bench. He helped her sit on one of the benches and waited for Zhang Xiaodong to bring someone over.


    Just then, a well-dressed woman came from upstairs. Seeing the shopkeeper carrying a woman, she hurriedly ran down and slapped the shopkeeper in the face. The storekeeper was caught off guard and pointed at him. "You dead bastard, I won''t be by your side for a while, then you''ll go around flirting with flowers and grass, and see if I don''t take care of you today!" After he finished speaking, he was about to hit the shopkeeper again.


    The storekeeper held Huang''er in one hand while his other hand quickly grabbed the Lady Boss''s hand. He loudly said, "Don''t mess around, I''m saving them!"


    The Lady Boss said, "Are you trying to save him?! You want to hug someone when you save them?! Do you think I''m that gullible? "


    Hearing this woman pestering him, the shopkeeper was furious. He roared, "Why are you so unreasonable, woman? Your life is in danger now. If you don''t mind, I won''t rest until I''m done with you today!"


    At this moment, Zhang Xiaohai carefully walked out of the kitchen with boiling water. Seeing that the couple was having a heated discussion, he walked up to them and explained everything that had just happened.


    When the Lady Boss heard this, she knew that it was a misunderstanding. However, she refused to admit her mistake and quibbled, "Anyone who sees what happened just now will get angry!"


    The shopkeeper knew that she knew he was wrong. It was just that she didn''t admit it due to her face, so he didn''t lower himself to her level. The three of them fed Huang''er some water, and not long after, Huang''er opened her eyes leisurely. Three strange faces appeared in front of them, and after looking around, she asked: "Where is this place?! Why am I here? Who are you all?! "


    When the three of them saw the girl open her eyes and ask so many questions, they couldn''t help but look at each other and smile happily.


    The Lady Boss said, "Miss, do you still know your name? This is the Hengshui Inn in Lin An city. When we opened the door, we found you outside. This Hengshui Tavern is ours, if there''s anything you need help with, feel free to tell us! "


    The shopkeeper laughed and agreed, "Yes, if there''s anything you need our help with, just tell us. We''ll definitely help you!"


    The Lady Boss fiercely glared at the shopkeeper and said, "You always have a warm heart when you see beautiful girls!"


    The shopkeeper saw that the tigress was jealous, so he bitterly walked to the side and sat down on a stool. He looked at her without saying anything, with the attitude of "let''s see what good idea you have".


    Huang''er couldn''t help but smile when she saw the battle between the two of them.


    When the Lady Boss saw Huang''er''s smile, she said to her, "Lady Huang, please don''t take offense. I am a dead man, always dashing about with flowers and grass. I don''t care about his order, he can fly!"


    The shopkeeper spoke to her, "Women are suspicious. It''s better to be a middle-aged woman!"


    The Lady Boss turned to the shopkeeper, who was holding his breath, and asked Huang''er, "Is the Lady Boss feeling better? Can you remember who you are now?!"


    Huang''er had recovered some of her energy. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern. I can remember!"


    The Lady Boss said to Zhang Xiao Er, "Waiter, go to the kitchen and cook noodles for the girl! "She should be better after she finishes eating the noodles!"


    Huang''er stood up to leave, but the Lady Boss didn''t let her leave. She said that her body was still weak. She had to eat something to recover her energy before she could leave. Seeing how determined she was, Huang''er could only agree to eat her noodles before leaving!


    The noodles were served in a moment. Huang''er hadn''t eaten all night, and she was indeed hungry. Although she cared about the noodles, she still finished the whole bowl.


    The Lady Boss was very satisfied with the way she cooked the noodles, so she told Zhang Qingrou to cook the noodles. Huang''er immediately panicked. She felt that this Lady Boss was being too polite, and repeatedly said that she really couldn''t eat anymore, so she gave up.


    Huang''er touched the silver bag on her body and took out a silver ingot to express her gratitude. The Lady Boss repeatedly refused to accept it and said, "We saved you for a lot of money. You are slapping me in the face by doing this!"


    Seeing that the Lady Boss didn''t accept, Huang''er said to her, "Since you are so polite, then I won''t be polite anymore. Thank you for saving my life. My name is Huang''er, and I opened an escort office in Lin An city. If I need anything in the future, I will do my best! I still have matters to attend to at the escort office, so I won''t bother you anymore! Remember, you can come to the escort office if you have nothing to do! Then, everyone, we shall meet again! " With that, he stood up to bid farewell.


    At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.


    He saw that it was the escort from the Longwei Escort Office. Huang''er immediately went up and asked: "Do you have any news about Young Master Zhang?"


    When the escort saw that it was Huang''er, he was overjoyed and said, "Master Zhang and the others are looking for you everywhere in the city!"


    Huang''er said to him, "Then let''s quickly release Dysprosium so they won''t worry! Chief Xu is with them right?! "


    The escort nodded and said yes.


    Huang''er removed the Dysprosium from the escort''s body. Suddenly, a burst of smoke and fire accompanied by a sharp whistle rushed up into the light blue sky.


    After releasing the Dysprosium, Huang''er said to the Lady Boss, "Lady Boss, it seems like I will have to disturb you for a while more!"


    The Lady Boss laughed and said, "It''s fine, it''s fine! As long as you can find your family! "Then I''ll go prepare some food for you!"


    Huang''er said: "You''re too polite!"


    The Lady Boss then turned around and said, "We are businessmen. We have one more friend and one more path to walk! "You don''t have to be so formal!"


    The shopkeeper looked at the two women and sighed, saying, "Hey, I don''t think it''s proper for someone to say that three women are a part of a play!"
