No, it's not...
Zhao Tianba quickly shook his head: "Brother Zhang risked his life to save the beauty, I admire him greatly, how could I dare to have any improper thoughts about you?"
"Let's get down to business."
Zhang Xiaojiang spoke calmly.
"Yes, yes..."
Zhao Tianba took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his inner tension.
"You said... you want me to impersonate your bodyguard?"
Zhang Xiaojiang asked.
Zhao Tianba nodded emphatically: "I have found out that they conduct transactions every few days, and the woman's identity is secretive; it's difficult for ordinary people to detect her whereabouts."
"Leave this to me."
Zhang Xiaojiang nodded: "I will send some experts to protect you secretly, to prevent you from being exposed. As for you... you shouldn't go out in the near future, so as not to arouse suspicion."
Zhao Tianba was stunned and cursed inwardly.
hateful!
How can someone who hasn't fully recovered from their injuries participate in an auction of this caliber?
"Please rest assured, Brother Zhang, I will leave this place once I have fully recovered from my injuries."
Zhang Xiaojiang nodded, then asked, "How are your injuries now?"
"I'm much better now, thank you for your concern, Brother Zhang."
Zhao Tianba answered respectfully.
"Um."
Zhang Xiaojiang nodded slightly, his tone steady: "At the upcoming auction, there's likely to be a rare nine-leaf spirit herb. You must get your hands on it. Don't be impatient; if you arouse suspicion, your situation will become very dangerous. Yes, keep that in mind!"
"That's great."
Zhang Xiaojiang nodded, indicating his satisfaction.
"Oh, by the way, here's a pill for you. It will greatly help you recover from your injuries!"
He took out a fragrant medicinal pill from his storage ring and handed it to Zhao Tianba.
"Thank you so much, Brother Zhang! I am deeply grateful!"
Zhao Tianba was deeply moved and filled with admiration.
Taking the pill, Zhao Tianba swallowed it in one gulp. A warm current instantly swept through his body, making him murmur, "Comfortable, so incredibly comfortable!"
Although it is not a top-grade elixir, it can quickly restore a person's vitality and has a miraculous effect on healing injuries.
Under the influence of the elixir, Zhao Tianba's injuries rapidly improved.
"Brother Zhang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have already lost my life at the hands of that old man. I, Zhao Tianba, swear that I will repay your life-saving grace with loyalty for the rest of my life!"
Zhao Tianba knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Xiaojiang to express his respect.
"Get up."
Zhang Xiaojiang reached out and helped him up.
Zhao Tianba stood up and respectfully left the room.
Zhang Xiaojiang stood by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, a sly smile playing on his lips.
He had decided that once that old man left Qingzhou City, he would immediately take his life and seize the Nine-Leaf Spirit Grass.
"I'd like to see just what you're capable of to challenge me!"
Zhang Xiaojiang's lips curled slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
Suddenly, the sky roared, and a thick bolt of purple-gold lightning struck down, hitting Zhang Xiaojiang directly.
Zhang Xiaojiang was shocked and quickly dodged.
"This lightning tribulation is too much! It descended directly; if you were hit, you'd be severely injured, if not killed!"
Zhang Xiaojiang felt flustered.
This thunder was no ordinary thing; the terrifying pressure it contained was astonishing!
Zhang Xiaojiang's body trembled, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
This tribulation lightning is incredibly powerful; even a Nascent Soul stage expert would likely find it difficult to withstand!
"I'm not reconciled!"
Zhang Xiaojiang gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
He didn't believe that a mere Nascent Soul stage youth could contend with him!
"Break it!"
Zhang Xiaojiang circulated his profound energy, activated his divine soul power, and unleashed a sword technique.
A jet-black longsword appeared out of thin air, slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and struck at the thunder.
