After everyone finished eating and returned to the city, they saw some martial arts figures looking around on the road, clearly searching for someone.
It must be the one in their car.
Because it was the county magistrate's carriage, even the boldest people wouldn't dare to search it, so they easily brought the man to the prefect's residence.
Previously, it was always the Su family who came to Liu Huan's place for meals, but now the roles have reversed. Liu Huan felt a bit embarrassed to have Su's mother and her large family come over, so she took the initiative to bring her child over herself.
An Ran went to see the person she had saved immediately, which made Su Yi very depressed. Why did his daughter care about a stranger?
Only Anzhi knew why she saved that person. A few days ago, she told him about a girl who had mentioned a great hero who had fallen on hard times and was found on the street.
To repay her kindness, the man gifted her a martial arts manual, and she became a legendary heroine, invincible throughout the land. She said she also wanted to become a heroine.
Anzhi remembered saying to herself, "Didn't you want to be a female general?"
An Ran proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "I, this young lady, will be both a female general and a chivalrous woman."
So when I saw that person by the river that day, my first reaction wasn't fear, but rather that I felt I had to become a female knight-errant.
Coincidentally, that person woke up just as he was safely entering the room, of all times.
An Ran stared wide-eyed at the person on the bed with curiosity. Seeing that the person had a stubble beard, she couldn't help but wonder if this was really a great hero.
Anzhi stood guard beside her sister. After the man opened his eyes, he prepared to pull Anran out, but Anran stopped and whispered, "No rush, I still have something to ask."
The person on the bed found the interaction between the two amusing, but pretended not to know and waited for the girl to ask him questions.
Since An Ran didn't leave, An Zhi naturally didn't dare to leave either, and the two of them stayed until Su Yi came in.
Su Yi noticed that the man's expression was no longer so friendly. "Since you are alright, please leave."
Before anyone on the bed could speak, An Ran panicked, "No! My martial arts manual..."
Su Yi thought he had misheard. "What?"
"A martial arts manual? I saved him, wasn't he going to give me a martial arts manual as a thank you?"
An Ran's matter-of-fact answer caused Su Yi's expression to collapse, and almost made the man on the bed burst into laughter.
The price of suppressing laughter was a fit of coughing. An Ran covered her mouth and took a step back, looking disgusted.
The person on the bed got up, stood by the bed, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "I am Guo Feng, the eldest disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect. Thank you for saving my life."
When An Zhi looked up, his brows furrowed. "This is acceptable?"
Based on what he said and what his daughter said, Su Yi began to regret bringing this person home.
So he said with a straight face, "It was nothing, you can leave if there's nothing else."
Anran was very anxious. "How can this be?"
Guo Feng coughed weakly twice. "I'm really sorry, I'm not fully recovered yet. Could you let me rest until I'm better before I leave?"
An Ran nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, yes, great hero, you should rest first."
Enraged, Su Yi scooped her up and carried her out, saying, "Anzhi, close the door." He put his daughter down in the main courtyard, his expression still grim.
Seeing this, Su's mother asked, "What's wrong? Why are you still angry with other people's children?"
This was the first time Su Yi had ever been so angry. He still kept a straight face and said, "Ask her."
Everyone looked at the father and daughter with puzzlement. An Ran, who had also lost her temper, turned her back and snorted to show her displeasure.
When everyone asked Anzhi, he finally revealed Anran's purpose.
Su's mother's eyes lit up. "Our An Ran actually wants to be a female knight-errant. That's amazing."
Upon hearing her grandmother's support, An Ran happily went over to her side and said, "Grandmother, Wang Yuyan said that if I save everyone, I will receive a martial arts manual. That way, I can become an invincible heroine."
They talked and gestured at the same time, and everyone thought it was childlike.
It was only when she actually went out into the world a few years later that everyone began to regret it, wishing they had nipped it in the bud.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Right now, no one believes she's going to become a female knight-errant.
When Liu Huan heard that the person had woken up, she said, "Since the person has woken up and recovered from their injuries, let them go."
People in the martial arts world have many enemies, and she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Daishi asked curiously, "Hey, did he say where he's from?"
An Ran said loudly, "Guo Feng, the eldest disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect."
Fang Yi chuckled, "So you really are someone from the martial arts world."
No one expected such a coincidence and didn't take it seriously. Only Anran, the hero, visited her every day from that day on.
"Master Guo, do you have any martial arts manuals?"
Guo Feng smiled and said, "Yes, but it's not passed on to outsiders; only inner disciples can learn it."
An Ran found it intriguing, "What is an inner disciple?"
Guo Feng explained to her and told her some things that a disciple should do. An Ran listened with great interest, while An Zhi read a book beside her.
When Liu Huan entered the room, Guo Feng was still talking about the rules of the martial arts world. He was stunned when he saw Liu Huan enter.
He was surrounded by people from the martial arts world, and the women there were all bold and unrestrained, dressed in tight-fitting clothes and short jackets. Liu Huan, dressed in blue-green with her hands on her waist, almond-shaped eyes smiling and fair skin, made him momentarily stunned.
"Master Guo?"
Guo Feng was so engrossed in watching that Liu Huan had to call out to him two or three times before he snapped out of his daze.
"Oh, madam, I was rude."
Liu Huan pulled An Ran closer to her. "I couldn't find you anywhere. So you've come here. Did you disturb your uncle's recovery again?"
Guo Feng immediately denied it, "No, she was just chatting with me to keep me entertained. An Ran is a good girl."
Liu Huan sat down next to An Zhi and then revealed the purpose of her visit.
"May I ask what happened, sir? And are those wandering martial arts practitioners outside related to you?"
It wasn't that she was being presumptuous, but it concerned the safety of her family, which compelled her to intervene.
"My name is Guo Feng, and I'm from the Xuanzhen Sect..."
Guo Feng, the eldest disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect, was recently chosen by the sect leader after the sect leader announced the upcoming election of the next sect leader. Three of his personal disciples, including Guo Feng, were sent on a journey and were to return in a year to compete. Whoever won would become the sect leader.
But just halfway through the one-year period, he was hunted down and prevented from returning to participate in the sect leader election.
If they hadn't met him at the dock, he would probably be dead by now.
After listening, Liu Huan realized that every profession has its own competition, and to become the strongest, one must excel in every aspect.
She said apologetically, "My daughter doesn't know the rules of the game and has bothered you. Don't worry, you can stay until you're healed and no one will kick you out."
Liu Huan used to love reading martial arts novels, and she knew the skills of the martial arts figures. Even if she didn't befriend them, it was best not to offend them.
