The sun had not yet risen, but Huiyue had been awakened by the noises of Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang. In fact, they were very quiet, but Huiyue was a very light sleeper.

On the other side, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang stood together washing up, each movement was almost synchronized. Seeing Hui Yue wake up, they turned their heads to look at her, but did not speak.

Looking at their backs, Huiyue had a magical feeling, as if the two were one. After washing, Shu Shuang combed her black hair into a ponytail and then put it up. She didn't want to be caught by her hair during the battle, so Xia Xiao handed her a hairpin. Then they put on soft armor for each other, buttoned the back, and put on a piece of clothing, and they were ready.

Picking up the bread and apples on the table, they began to eat.

"We can be back at noon, come and pick us up then."

Shu Shuang held the apple in both hands, and Xia Xiao wiped the crumbs off the corner of her mouth. It was a simple action, but very heartwarming.

Huiyue was a bit slow to react, she was like a walking corpse without any purpose. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang seized every second and moved frighteningly fast.

The two fruit cores were thrown into the trash can in an arc. Xia Xiao bent down, tied a dagger on his leg, and put a machete on his shoulder.

“Let’s go!”

After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he picked up two quivers in his right hand, a powerful crossbow in his left hand, and went out with Shu Shuang.

"Be careful on your journey."

Huiyue was slightly stunned and chased after him.

At the door of the inn, Xia Xiao hung three bags of quivers and a powerful crossbow on the back of a horse, covered it with a layer of cloth, then sat on the front horse with Shu Shuang and headed out of the city.

With Huiyue's map, Xia Xiao has planned the best route. Although it will take a detour, that location is conducive to concealment.

Seeing them leave, Huiyue stood at the door of the inn for a long time, unable to control herself. What could she do? Just watch them leave?

With his back to the rising sun, the waiter who was leading the horse saw Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang leaving, and couldn't help but sigh and mutter:

"What a shame, these two are pretty cool people, but it's over."

"No!"

Huiyue answered, which made the waiter a little embarrassed, but he did not comment, but returned to his inn and sat behind the counter. It was still early, so he could take a nap.

"You must come back."

Looking at the direction where Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang left, Huiyue's tired face was full of sorrow. She wanted to do something, so she turned around and ran to the Fighting City.

Fighting City is manned 24 hours a day, and there are guards at this time. Although Huiyue is of low status, she is still an insider. After entering, she ran to her own residence. In that dark and damp little room, the other sisters were still asleep, but she tiptoed to take out all her savings and prepared to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

When Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang come out of the bandit’s lair, they will definitely need medicine. Hemostatic powder and painkillers will be the first choice.

She was planning in her mind, but when she turned a corner, she ran into Manager Bin. This white-bearded man frightened Huiyue so much that she quickly stepped back. In Huiyue's eyes, the serious manager had become a demon who only knew how to suck people's blood and flesh and had no emotions at all.

"Where are you going?"

Manager Bin had a cold expression on his face and Huiyue dared not to refuse.

“Buy medicine!”

"Don't waste that money, they won't come back."

A trace of coldness appeared on the old face of Manager Bin. The Tiger Stronghold was under the jurisdiction of Rongcheng. Lin Jing had sent out cultivators to suppress the bandits. Although they won, those guys kept popping up like mushrooms after rain, making it hard to guard against them. Moreover, the three cultivators in the Condensation Realm were all extraordinary, ruthless, and had a very high level of tacit understanding. Not to mention Xia Xiao, even some of the strong men in Rongcheng couldn't deal with them.

Hearing the affirmation in Manager Bin's words, Huiyue burst into tears. Wasn't she a strong person? She didn't sit still in the face of the situation at home, but now she had implicated others, two living lives, only slightly older than her brother.

"Why? Is it because they are strong and will take up places in the local selection?"

Manager Bin stepped forward, forcing Huiyue to have no way out. He raised his hand, and the only thing Huiyue could do in response was the cold sweat on her forehead. Was he going to kill her? When his hand fell, Huiyue closed her eyes tightly. Under Manager Bin's aura, she had no ability to escape.

With her chin pinched, Huiyue had no choice but to raise her head. Manager Bin's wrinkled face was just a few centimeters in front of her.

"There are many things that happen without reason. Just wait and see."

With a snort, Manager Bin turned and left. A lowly maid was not worth his effort.

Huiyue bit her lip, blood was bright red. She was a little confused, but she still walked out of the fighting city in a daze. Those who can survive will definitely be able to!

At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the whole Rongcheng woke up. People were coming and going on the street. Huiyue was walking among them and heard someone say:

"I heard there was a secret operation this morning."

"What is it?"

"To suppress the bandits, the city lord has sent out a secret team to infiltrate the bandits first, and then surround them at noon, to achieve internal and external support!"

"One team might not be enough?"

"Yes, I heard there were only two of them. But they seemed to be the legendary people who came from afar. They were driven to Longgang from the imperial capital more than a year ago. You don't know? Their name seems to be... Xia Xiao!"

"I've heard that guy disobeyed the emperor's order. Although the dynasty doesn't have accurate countermeasures now, he won't live long. Now he's mercifully helping us to suppress the bandits. This is a good thing. We don't have to worry anymore!"

…

Huiyue's pretty face froze, she looked back in disbelief, feeling dizzy and dark.

The one who came from afar... Xia Xiao... She said that the name sounded familiar. So that's it, so that's it! No wonder he has such great accomplishments at such a young age, it turned out to be him.

Putting what she heard yesterday about Xia Xiao together with his identity, Huiyue suddenly understood. She understood that Xia Xiao came to Rongcheng from Longgang because of the local competition, but he won the Yinghu but did not agree to join the alliance. In this way, the city lord and manager Bin wanted to eliminate this competitor.

Huiyue confirmed her thoughts and immediately felt that Manager Bin and the city lord were vicious. They didn't dare to act openly, so they could only use themselves as bait...

Huiyue ran to the man and grabbed his collar with both hands.

"Who told you that? Who told you that?"

The man looked confused and answered hesitantly:

"It's someone from the City Lord's Mansion. Just now."

What a secret operation! Huiyue's eyes were red with hatred. Want to publicize it and then go with the flow? How shameless!

When Huiyue wasn't paying attention, the news had spread completely. Soon, under the special care of the city lord and manager Bin, everyone would know that Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang had volunteered to go and destroy the bandit's nest! And they would go to meet them slowly, because they were all dead bodies anyway, so it didn't matter whether it was early or late.

While Huiyue was anxious and helpless, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang had already circled around the bandit's lair and stopped.
