With a smile playing on her lips, Jiang Chaoyu saw the fugitive getting closer and kindly warned him, "You've been tricked!"
The wind howled, raising waves on the sea and adding a touch of grimness to the impending battle.
A flash of cold light appeared, and Jiang Chaoyu flicked her wrist, swinging her soft sword towards the fugitive. The moment the soft sword was swung out, it was like a venomous snake emerging from its hole. The long blade gleamed with a chilling light, just like the scales of a venomous snake. It moved swiftly towards the fugitive, drawing a graceful arc in the air, like a leaping venomous snake, accurately coiling around the fugitive's ankle.
By the time the fugitive realized what was happening, it was too late. Jiang Chaoyu forcefully pulled back her sword, and the fugitive was instantly knocked down. Jiang Chaoyu then swung her sword at his lower body, successfully slicing him down.
"Aaaaaaah!" the fugitive screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
Before the fugitive could even react to Jiang Chaoyu's attack, the pain had already alerted him. The pain left him drenched in sweat and completely powerless to fight back.
As Jiang Chaoyu watched him writhe on the ground in agony, she said coldly, "I told you, you can't stay."
Without uttering a single word, Jiang Chaoyu pierced his throat with her sword. The fugitive never imagined that after killing so many people and facing so many masters, he would die at the hands of this little girl. Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover.
Jiang Chaoyu took out a smoke bomb and sent a signal into the air. Xu Ninghui, who was still worried, smiled when he saw the smoke bomb; it seemed he had succeeded.
Seeing the fugitive's unseeing eyes in death, Jiang Chaoyu slightly raised the corners of her mouth, curled into a cold smile, and said sarcastically, "He did so many bad things, and he still died with his eyes open."
Seeing him like this, Jiang Chaoyu remembered what Xu Ninghui had told her: most of the fugitives' hands were stained with women's blood. Enraged, she stabbed the fugitive a few more times, saying, "You beast, go to hell!"
At this moment, Jiang Chaoyu was the only one on the boat. Suddenly, she realized that her boots seemed to be wet. But where did the water come from on the boat? Looking around, she realized that the foot of the bed had leaked during the fight, and water was constantly seeping in from the stern.
As the waves crashed against the stern, water began to pour into the boat, which was slowly sinking. Jiang Chaoyu sensed something was wrong; if left unchecked, it might be submerged in no time.
She had a bold idea in her mind. Previously, her spatial teleportation technique couldn't take living people with her, but now that the fugitive was dead, she wondered if it would be possible.
Jiang Chaoyu looked at the fugitive and thought to himself with certainty, "This is the only way now!"
Grabbing the fugitive, he closed his eyes and thought about the location on the shore, "Spatial displacement, in!"
Just as Xu Ninghui was eagerly waiting for Jiang Chaoyu to return by boat, he discovered that Jiang Chaoyu had appeared beside him at some point, along with a dead fugitive.
Each teleportation consumes a lot of energy, and Jiang Chaoyu looked extremely haggard at the moment.
Xu Ninghui turned around and saw dried bloodstains at the corner of Jiang Chaoyu's mouth, her hair slightly disheveled, her hands supporting her on the ground, panting. He rushed forward and, just as Jiang Chaoyu was about to collapse, pulled her into his arms, "Senior Sister!"
"I caught the fugitive, but I'm so tired now, let me sleep for a while." After saying this, Jiang Chaoyu felt that she was really too tired and wanted to rest, so she closed her eyes.
Seeing that Jiang Chaoyu had closed her eyes, Xu Ninghui became anxious and shook her, "Senior Sister! Wake up! Wake up!"
Already feeling nauseous from the fishy smell, Jiang Chaoyu was further enraged by Xu Ninghui shaking her, and slapped his arm. "I told you I wanted to sleep, why are you shaking me!"
Although Xu Ninghui was still a little sore from the beating, seeing that her senior sister still had the strength to talk to her relieved her worries, and she immediately cheered, "Okay!"
Those eyes just now belonged to Xie Yunyin. He had only come to the dock to do a mission, but he never expected to see his benefactor, Jiang Chaoyu. However, it seemed that he had learned her secret. Seeing her weak appearance, he felt a little sorry for her, but his mission was not yet completed, so he could not go forward. Therefore, he silently watched the person beside him take her away.
Xu Ninghui was only concerned about his senior sister. Under normal circumstances, he would have been able to detect Xie Yunyin's presence. He gently wiped the bloodstains from Jiang Chaoyu's mouth with his sleeve, picked her up, and carried her back to the pavilion. As for the fugitive, others had already come to meet him and bring him back.
Back in the attic, Xu Ninghui gently placed Jiang Chaoyu back on her bed in her own room. Looking at her sleeping face, he couldn't help but admire Jiang Chaoyu. She was incredibly capable of killing a second-level fugitive all by herself.
And incredibly, the fugitive was subdued in less than fifteen minutes. It was definitely a good decision to cooperate with my senior sister.
After watching Jiang Chaoyu fall asleep, Xu Ninghui quietly left Jiang Chaoyu's room.
After closing the door, just as he turned around, You Zhenghong appeared in front of him, his huge face right in front of him. Xu Ninghui was so startled that he almost screamed and quickly covered his mouth, afraid of disturbing Jiang Chaoyu inside the room.
Immediately afterwards, he bowed to You Zhenghong and said, "Uncle-Master." Afraid of disturbing the sleeping Jiang Chaoyu, he said to You Zhenghong, "Uncle-Master, may I speak to you in private?"
You Zhenghong moved to the outer hall of the pavilion, sat down, and asked Xu Ninghui, "I heard you captured a second-level fugitive this time?"
Xu Ninghui stood opposite You Zhenghong and replied, "Yes, this mission was all thanks to Senior Sister. If she hadn't gone to the ship to capture the fugitive, the mission probably wouldn't have been so successful! However, Senior Sister was injured by the fugitive and is resting now."
Although You Zhenghong was listening to Xu Ninghui's report, his eyes were actually scrutinizing him. Perhaps it was because Xu Ninghui was dressed in black that the handprint on his chest was visible.
"You're injured too, so rest early today. I know you were there for other things, but you and your senior sister are still relatively inexperienced. I'll think of other rewards for you. Also, remember to go to your master for medicine tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ninghui felt it was extremely unfair and retorted to You Zhenghong's words, "But the Crescent Moon Sect only said that whoever caught whom could do so, without any preconditions. Isn't this unfair now!"
You Zhenghong coldly stared at Xu Ninghui, "A mere second-level fugitive, you can't beat him. Your senior sister is also injured. If we really hand over the deputy minister to you!" After saying this, You Zhenghong stood up from his seat and said softly, "How long can you hold out?"
You Zhenghong's words pierced Xu Ninghui's heart. He was absolutely right. When they encountered the fugitive, both of them were injured, but Xu Ninghui still wanted to fight for Jiang Chaoyu. This time, Jiang Chaoyu had done the most. "Uncle-Master, it was Senior Sister's achievement. She was capable."
Upon hearing this, You Zhenghong acknowledged Jiang Chaoyu's abilities, but added, "Your senior sister is still lacking in experience; this time, she's merely trying to find the best candidate from among the other disciples."
Xu Ninghui didn't know what to say, but he thought that if his senior sister heard these words, she would be very sad.
"Then, Master, what do you think is the time for me to reach the required level?" Jiang Chaoyu came down the stairs. She had been asleep, but had a nightmare in which she was being chased and couldn't escape. Suddenly, she woke up with a start. After checking the time, she realized she should go back. She hadn't expected to overhear all this.
Hearing Jiang Chaoyu's voice, Xu Ninghui knew that what he was worried about had happened; his senior sister had heard it after all.
You Zhenghong already knew that Jiang Chaoyu had woken up. His words just now weren't just for Xu Ninghui, but also for Jiang Chaoyu. Actually, there was no such thing as establishing another deputy cabinet. He had just heard the rumor from someone and decided to let it go. He didn't expect the two of them to take it seriously.
“Xiaoyu, your abilities are too weak to shoulder this responsibility.” At this moment, You Zhenghong revealed the truth. Jiang Chaoyu had gone on three missions in total, and almost failed on two of them. She was injured on both of them. If she wanted to become the deputy pavilion master, she would have to complete three level six missions, two level seven missions, and one level eight mission without any injury.
Jiang Chaoyu was still a little sad when her master exposed her. "I know, but Master, I can do it!"
Seeing Jiang Chaoyu's insistence, You Zhenghong said nothing, only leaving behind the words, "If you can reach the true level to become the Pavilion Master, then I will let you be the one!" before leaving.
Looking at Jiang Chaoyu, who was full of ambition, Xu Ninghui encouraged her, "Senior sister, I believe you can do it."
"Okay!" But after saying that, Jiang Chaoyu was deflated and couldn't help but complain in her heart, "How is it possible to do so many tasks?"
Jiang Chaoyu returned to her room in the Prime Minister's mansion in a sullen mood. She took a shortcut, a path that her master had specially dug so that she could practice at the Crescent Moon Gate every day.
The path was extremely secluded, and there was also an underground passage to avoid people. The next section was an underground passage that led directly to Jiang Chaoyu's room.
Just as Jiang Chaoyu was thinking about how to complete those tasks, she suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be lying on the ground in front of her, and looking at it from a distance, there was a jade staff next to them.
Upon closer inspection, she realized it seemed to be the Second Prince, Zeng Chenhua. Jiang Chaoyu felt like she was somehow tied to the Second Prince, as she kept running into him lately.
However, looking at the jade staff on the ground, Jiang Chaoyu suddenly remembered that the Crescent Moon Sect seemed to have an easy level eight quest, which was to obtain the Second Prince's jade staff.
Seeing Zeng Chenhua unconscious, Jiang Chaoyu felt this task was far too easy. She repeatedly peered over to confirm Zeng Chenhua's condition, and seeing no movement, Jiang Chaoyu slowly moved a few steps away from him, quietly picking up Zeng Chenhua's jade cane, silently praying, "Don't wake up, don't wake up."
Just when Jiang Chaoyu thought she was about to successfully retrieve the jade staff, Zeng Chenhua suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Jiang Chaoyu, who was about to steal the jade staff. At that moment, Jiang Chaoyu was stunned and internally screamed, "No way, I was so close! Aaaaaaaahh ...
Now that they had made eye contact and the other person had seen what she had done, Jiang Chaoyu blinked and could only frantically explain, "Second Prince, you're awake! I was just about to get the jade staff and carry you to see the doctor."
Jiang Chaoyu found it funny when she said this, and kept muttering to herself, "Carry you? The only people I've ever carried are the dead."
Zeng Chenhua always had guards with him when he went out, but this time he didn't and was spotted. He couldn't expose his leg, so he was injured by the other party. Fortunately, he killed the other party, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape. He didn't know where he came from and ended up on this path. He was surprised that he hadn't been noticed even though he had been in the capital for so long. But as he walked, he realized something was wrong. The other party had given him a sleeping drug. He had used his internal energy to resist it for a moment, but he didn't expect it to take effect so quickly after he escaped.
When he woke up, he saw Jiang Chaoyu sneaking around trying to steal his jade staff. When she said she would take him to see a doctor to treat his illness, he had the idea of playing with her.
Zeng Chenhua said softly, "Thank you very much, Second Miss. I don't know where this place is either. I am seriously injured and I'm afraid I don't even have the strength to walk. Fortunately, it is still early and no one will see me, so I may have to trouble you, Second Miss."
She pretended to be extremely weak.
Jiang Chaoyu was stunned. She had thought Zeng Chenhua would refuse her offer, but he agreed so readily. Jiang Chaoyu didn't know what to say, and looking around as if no one else was around, she struggled internally…
