"Miss, there is a man and a woman ahead, and they seem a little strange."

In the Li family's convoy, the guard leader looked at Zhou Tong and the other man and reported with a frown.

"What's so strange about that?"

A charming and lazy voice was heard from the center of the convoy.

"Hmm... I can't really put it into words, I just felt that the boy looked familiar, and the girl seemed to be ill, rolling on the ground with her hands covering her head!"

"What level of cultivation do they have?"

"I can't tell, but the girl has the aura of a cultivator, so she shouldn't be weak. The boy is just an ordinary person, perhaps the girl's servant."

Zhou Tong raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Although he was far away, he could hear the other party's conversation clearly.

He scanned the fleet roughly with his mental power and found that the strength of this fleet was quite considerable.

Three Samsara Realm masters and twelve Life and Death Realm masters, this is already comparable to a first-rate force in the Eastern Continent.

It can only be said that Zhongzhou's strength is far behind that of other continents.

"Let's go take a look."

The woman's voice sounded again, causing the guard leader to hesitate.

"My lady, our mission this time is very important. It is best not to provoke strange people to avoid any trouble."

"What? Will those two men be a threat to us?"

“Not really…”

"Then listen to me and ask the doctor in the team to check on the girl's condition. It's not a bad thing to make friends."

"As you command."

The guard leader sighed. His eldest daughter was good in every way except that she was too kind-hearted. She and his wife were exactly like each other.

If not, the power of the Li family would not have been taken away by others...

In the blink of an eye, the convoy arrived in front of Zhou Tong.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhou Tong said vigilantly, like a weak person.

"Don't be afraid. We are a passing caravan. We saw that your companion seemed to be in pain. We came to ask if there is anything we can do to help."

"Thank you for your concern, this person is my cousin!"

He pointed at Zhong Ningxue and said, "My cousin is very miserable. Not long ago, her whole family was killed by her enemies, and she herself was cursed and became like this."

"We were planning to go to Zhongzhou to seek refuge with distant relatives, but we were hit by a natural disaster. We are so unlucky!"

Zhou Tong was so possessed by the spirit of acting at this moment that he almost believed his own performance.

Zhong Ningxue widened her eyes and even forgot the pain for a moment.

She didn't know why her master pretended to be pitiful in front of a group of weaklings, but she knew that she'd better cooperate obediently, otherwise, something even more uncomfortable would be waiting for her.

She has already experienced Zhou Tong's dark side.

"How pitiful! We also want to go to Zhongzhou together. If you don't mind, why don't we all go together so that we can take care of each other."

The door of the car in the center of the convoy suddenly opened, and a tall figure appeared.

She was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, a mature lady with a graceful demeanor like an orchid, and her walk was like a willow swayed by the gentle breeze, making her very lovable.

Those bright eyes were a little deep, with a hint of sadness in their calmness, which made people want to explore them.

"I've met the young lady!"

As soon as she appeared, everyone bowed to her and seemed to respect her very much.

"No need to be polite!"

The woman waved her hands and looked over the crowd. However, when she saw Zhou Tong, her whole body couldn't help but tremble violently and she showed a surprised expression.

"You...you are..."

She pointed at Zhou Tong and looked very excited, unable to speak for a moment.

"Miss, do you know me? That shouldn't be the case. I'm just a nobody."

Zhou Tong said this calmly, calming the other party down.

"I'm sorry... I got the wrong person. There are many people in this world who look alike."

The woman looked a little disappointed and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Xinrou, and I am the owner of this fleet."

"Are you from the Li family, a weapon-making family in Zhongzhou?" Zhou Tong asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Is that so?"

There was a glimmer of sadness in the other person's eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't ask so many questions. This is not something you outsiders should know!"

The leader of the guards interrupted the conversation and pointed at Zhou Tongdao: "Since you want to go with us, you can't eat and drink for free. You should join the guard team. As for your cousin..."

"Just let him stay with me."

Li Xinrou made the decision, leaving the guard leader no choice but to say nothing.

"Thank you for taking me in, young lady."

Zhong Ningxue said politely, then followed him into the carriage.

For some reason, she had a splitting headache just now, but now it felt much better.

At the same time, her mental strength became stronger, which made her very excited.

All I can say is that although Zhou Tong’s methods are cruel, they are really effective!

As soon as she stepped into the carriage, Zhong Ningxue saw a portrait hanging above Li Xinrou's head, and her eyes widened involuntarily!

"This is..."

She held her breath. The person in the portrait was none other than Zhou Tong himself!

"Why do you still have my cousin's portrait hanging? Do you know him for a long time?"

She asked straight to the point.

Hearing this, Li Xinrou was stunned at first, and then smiled helplessly.

"This is not your cousin. His name is Wumingshi. He is a guest official of the Lingxiao Empire in the Tiandao Realm. He is also a hero who stands tall and proud!"

As she spoke, a hint of longing flashed in her eyes.

Not long ago, her convoy passed by the capital of Lingxiao Empire and witnessed the shocking battle with her own eyes.

When Zhou Tong's portrait appeared in the Heavenly Declaration, Li Xinrou felt as if struck by lightning and was deeply attracted.

The Most Powerful Saint Killer, what a great title!

A real man should be like this!

Every time she thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

If they had such a strong person by their side, they would not be bullied.

"Anonymous... guest?"

Zhong Ningxue's face twitched slightly. Although she didn't know what happened, she was sure that the person in the portrait was Zhou Tong himself!

But she didn't dare to tell the truth anyway. Her intuition told her that if she let it slip, the consequences would not be good.

"I see. No wonder you took us in... Could it be that you like this anonymous person?"

"How can I be qualified?"

Li Xinrou smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that even Queen Lingxiao is devoted to him, what chance do I have?"

"I just thought, if a guy like this could help us once, I would do whatever he wants..."

"Stop right there!"

Just as the two were talking happily, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the carriage, followed by the anxious voice of the guard leader.

"My lady, it's bad, we've encountered a treasure-hunting group!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Xinrou's expression changed immediately!

"You damned bandits, get ready for a fight!"

“Yes, sir!”

The guard leader responded in a serious tone without hesitation.

At this time, outside the carriage, Zhou Tong stood behind the guard leader, looking at the hundreds of thieves in front of him with an amusement look.

These people have clearly been lying in ambush for a long time.

"You bold thieves! We are from the Li family of Zhongzhou. How dare you offend us at will?" the guard leader shouted angrily.

However, after hearing this, the other party was not surprised but burst into laughter.

"You bunch of bereaved dogs, stop flattering yourself. Do you think I don't know that you were kicked out of the Li family more than ten years ago?"

"You are not even considered collateral branches now. Even if I kill you all, the Li family won't even frown!"

Hearing this, the guard leader's face suddenly darkened, but Zhou Tong's eyes widened!
