Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi abruptly opened their eyes, ending their cultivation. After exchanging glances, they both stood up, poised on the tree branch.
The startled Han Yun quickly stood up as well: "What, what happened?"
"Sothing’s coming." Whether it was human or animal was still uncertain.
Han Yun was taken aback and swiftly climbed up a nearby tree. Xiao Hua also hastily ascended a tree without hesitation.
Watching Han Yun clutch an empty water bottle in his hand, Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched. She casually pulled out a piece of talisman paper, splashed so water, and tossed it to him: "Take care of yourself."
A dagger suddenly pierced into the tree trunk beside Han Yun, embedding about an inch deep, just a hand’s distance from his body.
Because of Luo Qianqian’s action, Han Yun shivered in fear—this woman was truly terrifying.
If she tossed it off-target, wouldn’t his death be unjust?
The rustling sound gradually beca distinct, and soon three people in uniform armor appeared where they had just been.
"Still warm, they must have just left." One of them said.
"Footprints are ssy, it’s not him."
"He wouldn’t dare start a fire, would he? You’re overthinking. I suspect he’s long been devoured by wild beasts in the mountains, why search?"
"What do you know? The order from above is to bring back the head. It must an sothing."
"Let’s go, didn’t we search this area a month ago?"
"Let’s go, let’s go..."
Watching the people walk away, Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi exchanged looks, imdiately realizing they ca to search for Han Yun.
It seems, to so extent, that what Han Yun said wasn’t entirely false.
But it wasn’t exactly the truth either.
Both climbed down the tree, looking speechless at Han Yun’s direction. Suddenly, an arrow flew from the forest, embedding into the tree in front of the two.
Han Yun, who was about to climb down, halted his steps, clutching tightly onto the tree trunk, startled by the unexpected event.
Aside from his decent escape skills, he couldn’t fight anyone.
He gripped his dagger tightly, biting his lower lip, for the first ti resenting not learning more from his teacher back then. After being tested by the Imperial Family and finding out he had no talent, he no longer had a teacher.
"Boss was right, there are indeed people here."
The three people from earlier, holding bows and arrows, returned.
Luo Qianqian’s face darkened; she hadn’t noticed anything unusual after seeing them walk away—who would have thought they hadn’t left?
"It’s a pretty little girl here."
"Boss, this ti let us enjoy first."
"Alright, there’s enough people coming out for training nowadays, one less doesn’t matter." The man referred to as boss swept a lecherous gaze over Luo Qianqian before waving his hand: "Just a little girl, don’t hold back."
Recalling the last wave, that woman’s figure—that was called curvy...
Unfortunately, too fierce, she bit her tongue and killed herself.
Luo Qianqian’s understanding dawned, finally realizing what those people ant by gone and never returned in the town at the foot of the mountain.
Obviously, the ones who ventured were more than just those they’ve seen; after all, there are many entry points up the mountain—not a scenic spot with only one entrance for convenient tolls.
On this mountain, it’s apparent that many are searching for Han Yun!
Thinking of the harm those under them might have caused, a flicker of anger appeared in Luo Qianqian’s eyes.
"I’m number one, you’re number two?" Luo Qianqian suddenly held a dagger identical to Han Yun’s.
Number one, naturally the strongest, and two refers to the remaining person.
"Okay." Tang Tianyi replied without courtesy, pulling out a longsword.
Their actions made the three n’s faces light up with surprise: "They have treasures? Let’s rob and split them!"
"Alright."
The three seed to have a good rapport, agreeing with Luo Qianqian’s distribution without objection, standing opposite to the two who stood shoulder-to-shoulder, tossing the bows aside and drawing large knives from their waists.
Luo Qianqian hesitated not. She first raised her dagger, charging toward her target.
It’s said longer is stronger, short is more dangerous.
Where can the difference between a large knife and a dagger be asured in inches?
Seeing her opponent’s eyes sparkling as he raised the large knife, Luo Qianqian’s eyes flashed, her little hand extended to catch sothing in the air, retracting to her direction, her lips slightly parted: "Ice Stab!"
The person hadn’t realized yet when his chest turned cold, and his large knife wouldn’t obey him.
With doubt, he lowered his head, looking at his chest.
A long Ice Edge had pierced through his chest, revealing a sharp edge gleaming cold.
Luo Qianqian halted her charge, a few mocking smiles flashed across her face: "Did you think I’d co over just holding a little dagger and play house with you?"
While the other two were dumbfounded, Tang Tianyi’s longsword rcilessly pierced their chests.
Blood drenched the yellow earth, staining it red-black.
"Turns out, their blood isn’t black. Then why, kill the innocent?"
Confusion flashed through Luo Qianqian’s eyes, disappearing shortly after.
In such an era, perhaps everyone wanted to prove themselves?
Han Yun looked as the two effortlessly dealt with two people, eyes widening as he leaped down a tree, glaring at the bows on the ground before picking them up, imdiately revealing a sneering smile: "Imperial Guards? Do I, a discarded child, have such capability to mobilize this army to kill ?"
"What have I, Han Yun done, to deserve this? My four elder brothers never received such treatnt, right?" Han Yun tossed the bow to Luo Qianqian: "Hold this for . They’re expensive, good for gifting as well."
??? Gifting???
Is this Prince brainless? Are you still daring to give gifts?
"You aren’t body cultivators, why do you have body cultivation traits?" Hanyu curiously looked at the two. If he chose back then, he might have achieved sothing. But he didn’t...
"Your book says too much." Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes.
Han Yun raised a brow: "Thanks for the praise, Qiubqiub."
If Luo Qianqian couldn’t tell Han Yun was teasing, she’d be a fool.
She was instantly enraged, stomping her feet: "Call Qiubqiub again, and you’ll never eat again!"
Han Yun silently shut his mouth.
Tang Tianyi shot Han Yun a look: "Who says non-body cultivators can’t have body cultivation traits?"
Body cultivation is obviously strengthening the body to make it powerful.
And Luo Qianqian’s Ice Stab earlier was clearly spirit cultivation.
"Don’t you feel body cultivation is disgraceful?" Han Yun smiled bitterly: "Isn’t it said only those without talent choose to train the body? But no matter how strong the body is, it can’t resist a spirit cultivation attack."
"What is strong?" Luo Qianqian laughed aloud: "Soul, body, ridians, and mind—all strong, that’s true strength. What you ntioned is single-sided developnt, now it’s all-round developnt in morality, intellect, physique, beauty, and labor, child."
