"Five thousand gold coins, five third-grade spiritual stones, and two intermediate herbs. It seems that this assassin is not very rich."
Su Xing knelt down beside the woman's body, took off the storage ring from her hand, and after tossing around for a while, placed all the wealth of the woman on the ground.
"Huh? What is this?"
He suddenly pulled out a copper-colored token-like thing from a pile of things, with the word "无" engraved in the center of the token.
By this time, Su Ying had also recovered from the shock and walked to Su Xing's side.
"Wu... Tianmen? Why do they appear here?"
Seeing the token in Su Xing's hand, Su Ying couldn't help but change her face and exclaimed.
"Sister Su Ying, do you know what this token is?" Su Xing saw Su Ying's reaction and quickly asked.
He was not very familiar with the term Wutianmen, and had never even heard of it.
"Hmm..." Su Ying pondered for a moment with a complex expression. Although her expression was hesitant, she finally explained to Su Xing what Wutianmen was.
"So, Wutianmen is one of the most famous assassin organizations on the mainland, and I have become their prey?"
Su Ying saw Su Xing's expression of worry and quickly explained: "You don't have to worry too much. This woman is holding a copper token, which means that she is not an official member of Wutianmen yet, but an intern who is still undergoing assessment.
.Wutianmen should not record such a person."
Su Xing thought for a while after hearing this, and then mused: "Our whereabouts have been exposed now, and it is not appropriate to go to Yangshan City when the road ahead is unknown. The first priority is to return to the house as soon as possible."
The two of them immediately reached an agreement and got on their horses to prepare to return home.
But before leaving, Su Xing carefully used his spiritual sense to examine the token of Wutianmen, and sure enough, he saw a faint wisp of gas on it.
"Wutianmen is indeed the number one assassin alliance in the mainland. Even the whereabouts of the intern members must be traced."
After that, he used his soul power to forcibly eliminate the mechanism used by the Wutian Sect to track the location of its members, and rode back towards Casterly Rock City with Su Ying.
…
Late at night, Su Mansion.
"What did you say? Su Xing and Su Ying are back intact?"
In a magnificent house, Su Yilong, who was originally in a good mood and was wiping his sword, suddenly froze when he heard Su Peng's report.
When he heard the news, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and the palm of his hand holding the cloth trembled slightly.
In front of him, Su Peng was kneeling on the ground with one knee, his eyes staring straight at the ground, his lowered head not daring to raise his head at all.
Su Yilong's room suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that the sound of their breathing became very clear.
"In other words... the assassin of Wutianmen failed?"
Su Yilong slowly put the sword aside and looked down at Su Peng thoughtfully.
Feeling the oppressive eyes falling on his shoulders, Su Peng raised his head tremblingly, looked at Su Yilong, and said with lingering fear: "I'm afraid so...Father."
"Crack!"
A loud slap echoed in the empty room.
A red palm print suddenly appeared on the left side of Su Peng's face, but although he complained, he kept silent for fear of angering his father again.
Under Su Yilong's palm, the wooden chair handle made of precious mahogany made a breaking sound, and cracks appeared on the surface of the handle.
"You mean...the deposit of three thousand gold coins and five third-grade spiritual stones was also wasted?"
His tightly clenched teeth creaked, his eyes were full of anger, and he spoke word by word.
"I followed your instructions and went to look for the woman in front of the dense forest, but I couldn't find any trace of her... Maybe it wasn't that she missed, but that we were plotted by her!"
"Crack!"
…
After Su Xing and Su Ying returned to Su Mansion and informed Su Yicheng of what had happened, Su Yicheng immediately decided not to let the two risk going to Yangshan City, and sent a close aide to replace them that night.
In the next few days, the atmosphere between Su Xing and Su Ying also eased. Every day when Su Xing was instructing his 12 or 13-year-old cousins in the open space of Su Mansion Square, Su Ying would always watch from a distance.
Stand in the gallery and watch.
Wan Jianzong's two-week vacation soon passed halfway, and before he knew it, Su Xing had been at home for a week.
However, part of Su Xing's plan when he went down the mountain to visit his relatives this time was to go to Maple City, the capital of Linzhou.
So on the night of the seventh day after returning home, Su Xing told Su Yicheng the news that he was about to leave.
Coincidentally, Su Ying, who was sitting at the dinner table with her, also spoke up after Su Xing said she was leaving home for Maple City, saying that she also wanted to go to Maple City.
"Maple City happens to be the place I must pass when I return to my sect. The spiritual objects that I couldn't buy a few days ago must be available in the capital."
Su Yicheng didn't try to save his son and daughter, but when he looked at the backs of the two of them leaving together that night, his nose was sore and he shed tears.
Early the next morning, Su Yicheng said goodbye to Su Xing and Su Ying in front of the Su Mansion, and told them that they must go home often.
Along with Su Yicheng, who came to see Su Xing off, there were also the young disciples of Su Mansion. They also came to the door of Su Mansion early in the morning and waved goodbye to Su Xing's retreating figure.
These children, who were only twelve or thirteen years old, looked disappointed and lonely when Su Xing's back disappeared from sight.
…
Yuezhao Sect and Wanjian Sect, as the two largest sects in Linzhou, are located in the two most remote locations in the state.
Wanjian Sect is backed by the Wanling Mountains to the east of Linzhou, while Yuezhao Sect is surrounded by quiet forests in the west. If Su Ying wants to return to the sect, Maple City is the place she must pass through.
Maple City, the capital of Linzhou, is the most prosperous and grand city in the state. The floating population is many times that of Casterly Rock City. There are countless restaurants and merchants in the city, and many famous families live in it.
There are countless people practicing martial arts in the city, and the martial arts atmosphere is very strong. Even among the children walking on the street, many have already entered martial arts early.
But those Qi-gathering realm warriors who were hailed as peerless geniuses by Casterly Rock City were not worth mentioning in this city.
On the second day after leaving Casterly Rock City, Su Xing and Su Ying were sitting in a carriage. They raised the window and looked out. The thick walls and open fire of Maple City were already in full view.
Su Xing saw the shadow of Maple City, but knowing that it would still take some time before he actually arrived, he looked at Su Ying opposite him.
Today, Su Ying put on a light blue dress. Her slender white legs were looming under the skirt, and her slim upper body was leaning against the wall of the carriage. Coupled with that peerless face, the whole
The person seems to be a woman walking out of the painting.
Su Xing was in a daze for a moment, and it wasn't until Su Ying smiled faintly at him that he came back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
It was very rare for Su Ying to take the initiative to speak.
Su Xing smiled awkwardly, and immediately asked the question that had been hiding in his mind since returning home this time: "Sister Su Ying, Queer is not bullied by anyone in Yue Zhaozong, right?"
Hearing this, Su Ying covered her mouth and smiled: "You don't ask how your sister is doing in Yuezhao Sect, but instead you care about a maid?"
"hey-hey."
Su Xing knew that Su Ying was joking with him and didn't mean to look down upon Que'er.
Although Que'er has been Su Xing's maid since she was a child, she grew up with Su Ying and has long been loved by Su Ying as her biological sister.
"Don't worry. As soon as Que'er entered the Yue Zhao Sect, she was noticed by the elders of the inner sect. He said that he hadn't seen such a perfect innate Yuan Body for a long time and that he must cultivate her well, so he took her into the sect. Since then,
"Although I have never seen Que'er again, I heard from some senior brothers and sisters in the inner sect that she is doing well."
She paused slightly and looked at Su Xing hesitantly.
"It's okay, Sister Su Ying, just tell me if you have anything, don't worry about me."
"Okay... I'm afraid of offending you. Before I went down the mountain this time, I specifically asked Que'er about her current state. A senior brother told me that she was in retreat this time to break through the Huayuan Realm and advance to the Immortal Realm.
Prepare."
"Pure Realm?"
When Su Xing heard this, he froze on the spot, his eyes full of horror.
