"Think more positively, find something meaningful to do, like making money. Making money is so much fun! Or why don't you tell your Su Nu Sect to stop doing this kind of thing, and we can open the Tianxia Medical Clinic and work hard to make money?"

"None of what you're saying exists. I am the legendary healer of this martial world. The illnesses you mentioned are nothing to me. My Su Nu Sect's Su Xin Jing has the effect of strengthening the body. Those stinky men can't hurt me at all. You can rest assured."

"I do have some lingering resentment towards my husband, which is why I specialize in killing those unruly men. If they were well-behaved, they wouldn't have fallen into my hands. What you say may be true, but I still stand by my idea."

"Girl, I really like you. Are you really not considering joining my Pure Maiden Sect?"

The woman took another sip of tea, her face still smiling, clearly not feeling that Cen Xi had offended her.

"I won't join. I don't like men, and I especially don't like sleeping with men."

Cen Xi looked at her and said calmly.

"Then why were you following that man in bed the whole way?"

The woman still smiled, clearly not believing what she said.

"I... I followed him because his build and appearance are similar to mine, and maybe there's something I can use him for. I'm being hunted down and desperately need another identity to make my way in the world. So he became my target."

Cen Xi sighed and said helplessly.

She felt that if she didn't make things clear, this woman would talk to her forever.

"Oh, I see. Then you should join the Pure Maiden Sect. Once you join us, I will protect you wherever you go. Those people will definitely not dare to do anything to you."

She continued her persuasion.

"Heroine! I... I really have absolutely no interest in your Su Nu Sect. Besides, our martial arts skills are about the same, or rather, I should be a notch above you. Are you sure that you'll be the one protecting me, instead of me protecting you?"

Cen Xi sighed, looking up at the sky speechlessly. Why couldn't she get over this trope?

"Your martial arts are better than mine? I can't tell. Come on, let's go outside and have a match. I don't believe your skills are better than mine."

The woman stood up and looked Cen Xi up and down. She didn't believe that someone so young could be more skilled than her. She was very confident that her Pure Heart Sutra was invincible and that she would have few rivals in the martial arts world.

"No interest, sister. If we keep talking, it'll be dawn soon, and we won't be able to sleep tonight."

"If you can't sleep with me tonight, you can sleep with me tomorrow. You choose one: either join the Pure Maiden Sect, or you beat me. Otherwise, don't even think about going back."

Seeing that nothing worked, the woman started to act unreasonable.

"I choose to join the Pure Maiden Sect, but I have one condition."

Cen Xi forced her eyelids open and replied.

"What are the conditions?"

Have you ever heard of Jun Jianchou?

"Yes! Who doesn't know the young master of the Jun family in Shangyang City? Is he related to you?"

"Hmm! Didn't you say there are no good men in the world? If you manage to get him into your bed, I'll admire you, and I'll definitely be a member of your Su Nu Sect from now on."

"If you can't, then don't bring this up again."

Cen Xi felt that Yu Kuang, as her good friend from her past life, should be willing to help her get rid of this trouble.

Even if I'm unwilling, I can only apologize.

There was nothing she could do; he was the only person she knew in the world.

"Alright! Let's make a gentleman's agreement. It will last for one month. If I win over the young master of the Jun family after one month, you will have to become a disciple of my Su Nu Sect."

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Cen Xi got up, yawned, and walked out. She decided that she should try to change her overly curious nature in the future.

This woman is too difficult to deal with.

"Hey! You still haven't told me your name. What's your name? My name is Zhu Yanniang. You can just call me Yanniang from now on. If you ever have any serious illness or minor ailment, you can come to me."

"I also have a lot of poison here. Each bottle will cause unbearable pain. Since you are being hunted, you must need it. Here, I will give you a few bottles."

Just as Cen Xi reached the door, a bunch of bottles flew towards her. Without blinking, she swept them all into her sleeve.

Then he turned to Yan Niang and said:

"Thanks, my name is Cen Xi. Let's chat again when I have time. I'm really too tired today."

"By the way, since the person in your bed is dead anyway, could you give me his identification?"

"You still want to disguise yourself as him?"

"Just in case!"

"Okay, here you go."

Zhu Yanniang clearly really liked Cen Xi, so without saying a word, she threw the man's bundle to Cen Xi.

"Thanks. Although I disagree with some of your views, you are still a person worth befriending. See you in Shangyang City in a month."

Cen Xi smiled, took the bundle, yawned again, and walked out the door.

"See you in Shangyang City."

Yan Niang stood up, waved to Cen Xi, and her excitement was almost blinding.

Cen Xi returned to her room, flopped onto the bed, haphazardly pulled the blanket over herself, and fell asleep like a log in no time.

She slept for a full day and night, and didn't leave Qinshui Town until the morning of the third day.

The day before yesterday, she heard that Yu Kuang was in Shangyang City. Cen Xi wanted to change her plans, but she couldn't help but want to see him make a fool of himself, and she also wanted to know if Yan Niang could win him over.

The key point is that she felt there was no point in just avoiding him; it wasn't her style. So, after leaving Qingshui Town, she didn't change her plans.

More than ten days later, Cen Xi finally arrived at Feifeng Ridge, two hundred miles away from Shangyang City, in a leisurely manner.

"Block! I planted this tree and opened this road. If you want to pass through this area, you must leave some money to pay the toll."

Cen Xi was chewing on beef jerky when a deep voice suddenly rang out, startling her so much that her hand trembled and the beef jerky spilled all over the floor.

"Great hero! I am the manager of the Wen family's trading company in Shangyang City. I remember we paid a toll here. May I ask what brings you here today?"

As soon as the dark-faced man finished speaking, an old man immediately emerged from the convoy and began to negotiate with him, all smiles.

"Enough with the nonsense. I'm the new mountain king of Flying Phoenix Ridge. The one before me was already dead, so what you handed over doesn't count. What good stuff do you have? Hand it over now, or you'll lose your lives."

The dark-faced man brandished his broadsword, looking fierce and menacing.

"This...this..., please be lenient, sir! This batch of goods is for the imperial use! It is to be sent to the court, and I would never dare to give it to you, sir. How about this, sir? If you let us pass today, I will prepare a thousand taels of gold and personally visit you in the future, how about that?"

The shopkeeper gave an awkward twitch of his lips and said.

"Manager, there's no need to be polite with these bandits. My Hengwei Escort Agency isn't one to be trifled with. Step aside and let me handle this!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, the bodyguard who had accompanied them finally spoke.

Cen Xi watched with great interest. She thought that the bodyguard believed that the bandit was not good at martial arts, so he stepped forward to help.

Otherwise, it would definitely hide in its shell and remain silent.
