They hadn't expected that Qing Xuanzi and his disciples would bring such food. Although it looked simple, in this turbulent era, having such a meal was already quite good.
The old man smiled and said, "Thank you, but no need, we've already eaten."
Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "Then we'll eat."
After saying that, they slowly began to eat, and the other person nodded and smiled at them.
Rong Jiaojiao had already bitten into a steamed bun, then stuffed in a piece of meat, and mumbled, "Mmm, delicious!"
The train moved slowly through the night, the lights in the carriage were dim, but the master and apprentice ate with great relish.
After finishing their meal, Qing Xuanzi and Rong Jiaojiao packed up their things and prepared to rest.
Qing Xuanzi lay on the lower bunk, closing his eyes to rest, while Rong Jiaojiao climbed to the middle bunk. With a talisman, the bed was spotless. She lay down on the bed, intending to continue cultivating for a while, but unexpectedly fell asleep shortly afterward.
The elderly man and the young man opposite also lay down, and the carriage gradually quieted down.
The train rattled along, and for the next two days, Rong Jiaojiao and the others spent most of their time cultivating and did not interact with others.
Two days and two nights passed peacefully, and they were just one more night away from reaching the capital when trouble struck in the latter half of the night.
Rong Jiaojiao was cultivating the Soul Refining Technique when she heard footsteps approaching. They were very light, but they carried a well-concealed killing intent.
She released her spiritual senses, and there were two people walking lightly down the corridor in the carriage.
Both men were dressed in Zhongshan suits and looked like cadres from their workplace, but they were both holding short daggers in their hands.
Their movements were very agile and light, clearly indicating that they were trained professionals.
Rong Jiaojiao had never seen such a scene before, so she immediately perked up and enveloped the cubicle with her divine sense.
She also saw that her master, the young man opposite her, and the two young men on the upper bunk had all opened their eyes.
The two people in the corridor went straight to their cubicle.
The person in front of him had just stepped in when he was kicked out, and at the same time, he fell to the ground and stood guard at the carriage door.
Just as the two men outside were about to storm in, the two young men on the upper bunk rushed out to meet the two men in the corridor, and for a moment the four of them fought fiercely.
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes were bright and sparkling. Her divine sense enveloped the entire carriage, and many passengers who heard the fighting poked their heads out of the carriage to look into the corridor.
She sent a telepathic message to Qing Xuanzi, asking, "Master, should I take action?"
Qing Xuanzi shook his head and mouthed, "Wait a minute."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, but a hint of excitement flickered in her eyes as she kept her senses focused on the fight outside.
She used her spiritual power to draw several soul-stabilizing talismans on the heads of several people, waiting to use them if things went wrong.
Outside the carriage, the fight between the four men was extremely intense.
The corridor was narrow, but they moved with incredible agility, their fists and feet striking each other with loud "bang" sounds.
The four of them moved with a fierce intensity, clearly indicating that they were highly trained experts. Rong Jiaojiao was quite excited watching them.
Just then, a man in a Zhongshan suit was kicked back a few steps by the young man. He then reached behind his waist and pulled out a gun.
The young man who had been standing at the door of Rong Jiaojiao's cubicle immediately warned, "Be careful!"
Despite his reminder, he did not leave the cubicle.
But in that moment of distraction, the people who had been pretending to watch the show from the upper bunks on either side attacked the young man guarding the gate from the left and right.
One man grabbed the young man, while another man leaped over the young man guarding the door into the cubicle, brandishing a pistol and about to shoot the old man on the other side in the head.
At this critical moment, Rong Jiaojiao activated the Soul-Fixing Talisman. Apart from the three young men in the same cubicle as Rong Jiaojiao, the other three people, whether they rushed in or were fighting at the door, were frozen in place, their eyes blank and motionless.
The three young men didn't understand what was happening, but they reacted quickly by binding and searching the person. Their actions were swift and precise, clearly demonstrating that they were well-trained.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, someone went to find the train police.
One of the young men gathered up what he had found and said to the young man guarding the gate, "Captain, four men, two guns, a dagger for each of them, and a poison pill for each of them."
The youth team leader nodded: "Throw them all in here, and take them all down with us when we leave the station at dawn."
"yes!"
The young captain looked at the rather composed old man: "Are you alright, sir?"
The old man smiled and nodded: "I'm fine."
His gaze remained fixed on Qing Xuanzi, who was lying motionless, and Rong Jiaojiao, who was lying on the middle bunk watching the commotion. He wondered which of the two had helped them.
The youth team leader had the same idea, but seeing that Qing Xuanzi had his eyes closed, he clearly did not want to get too involved in the matter.
Looking at Rong Jiaojiao's smiling face and her mischievous appearance, the young captain had a sudden thought and felt that it was very likely that this little girl was the one who did it.
He smiled slightly and tentatively said, "Thank you for your help, young comrade."
Rong Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow and grinned, "Uncle, what did you say? I don't understand."
The youth team leader smiled, thinking that it seemed he didn't want to admit it, but that made sense, this era wasn't very friendly to people like them.
"So it wasn't a junior colleague. I wonder which expert helped them. I'd like to ask how long this situation will last?"
Rong Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said, "I guess they'll wake up in an hour at most."
"Thank you for your guess, young comrade!"
The young man's lips curled up. It wasn't that he wasn't curious, but rather that he knew of the existence of special departments and that there were extraordinary people in the world. He never expected to be fortunate enough to receive help.
His two companions looked bewildered, while the old man's expression held a hint of understanding.
A short while later, the train police arrived. The young man showed his identification and said a few words to the police before the police left, and the atmosphere in the carriage gradually calmed down.
Many passengers witnessed this and began to discuss it.
Some were terrified, some were curious, and some were relieved that they hadn't gotten involved in the trouble.
Qing Xuanzi has been cultivating from beginning to end. If there is any danger, even if Rong Jiaojiao doesn't take action, with Xiao Jin around, no one without the cultivation of the Earth Master realm can harm him.
An hour later, the four people who had been blocked woke up and realized that not only were their hands and feet tied, but their mouths were also gagged. They glared angrily at the three young men.
The three young men remained calm and unperturbed, completely ignoring their gazes. The youngest even laughed and said, "Enjoy this time while you can still glare at people. You'll be in for a surprise when we get to the station."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of fear crossed the eyes of the four bound men, but they quickly regained their composure.
They were clearly aware of their situation, but also understood that resistance was futile.
A few hours later, the train arrived at the station, and a railway police officer came ahead of time to help the three young men carry the four people who were tightly bound off the train.
