Xuan'er quickly wiped away her tears and giggled, "It's okay, I'm used to it. Grandpa Danlu always scolds me, and his scolding is so ugly! But after I cry, I will go to him for advice. As long as I can learn how to make pills, it doesn't matter. This way, I can save more people." A happy smile filled her face.
"You are so focused on saving people that you haven't thought about yourself?" Yu Kai looked at the shabby-dressed girl and couldn't help but admire her.
"I... I don't have much to think about. As long as I have enough food and clothes, that's enough. What I want most is to help those who don't have money to buy elixirs. I don't want them to be like my mother and her family, who sold their children for an elixir and were cheated by those unscrupulous alchemists and separated from their wives and children." Xuan'er looked longingly.
"You are greater than me. They say that with great power comes great responsibility." Yu Kai smiled. "But I have never done anything good. I have killed many people and made many enemies."
"I don't think you are a bad person. You must have had your reasons for killing people. If I were in your place, I would kill someone like Master Liu!" Xuan'er smiled bitterly, "Kill him and avenge my parents!" After saying that, tears fell unconsciously again.
"How about I help you get revenge?" Yu Kai asked softly.
"No need. By the way, let's run away quickly! Master Liu is on good terms with the government, and he will definitely send someone to arrest you soon!" Xuan'er said as she walked out.
"Where are we going?" Yu Kai followed her.
"Go to the back mountain. There is the Luoyao Mountain Range where monsters and beasts are rampant. There are many big monsters in there and they dare not enter!" Xuan'er said anxiously.
"You said there are monsters running rampant in there. Wouldn't it be just as dangerous if we go in there?" Yu Kai was a little worried.
"Sometimes humans are scarier than monsters. We'll be fine if we're careful!" Xuan'er ignored the looks of the villagers and pulled Yu Kai away quickly.
I saw that there were still many villagers around who had not left, waiting to see Master Liu come and take revenge.
"Wait!" Yu Kai called her.
"What's wrong?" Xuan'er turned her head.
"You are so kind-hearted and must have helped them a lot in the past. Why didn't they help you just now?" Yu Kai asked puzzledly.
"It's a favor for others to help me, and it's their duty if they don't help me. I don't want them to be implicated either." Xuan'er smiled at them.
"Why do I hear them say that you think you are aloof and that you refuse every marriage proposal!" Yu Kai teased.
"Ah... your ears are so sharp, you can hear it from such a distance!" Xuan'er was a little embarrassed.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a large group of armored guards on horseback followed Master Liu and rushed towards this side, followed by many guards holding spears and running behind them.
"It's the armored guards from the City Lord's Mansion! Let's run!" Xuan'er looked anxious and pulled Yu Kai and ran.
"It's okay, we don't need to run away to deal with them!" Yu Kai looked confident and gave her a reassuring look.
Soon, these armored guards surrounded them and drew their weapons to point at Yu Kai.
"Captain Fang, this man is the thief who stole the holy sword of my Danxiao Sect. He defied the laws of my Shengying Dynasty, stole the holy sword, abducted the slaves from my medicine shop, and even cut off the arms of dozens of my servants. He is simply lawless!" Master Liu said to an armored leader, holding the horse reins.
The leader, known as Captain Fang, bowed to Master Liu and said, "Master Liu, don't worry. This man is so daring. I will capture him right away and return the Holy Sword to the Danxiao Sect!"
"You are slandering me! The holy sword is obviously his!" Xuan'er immediately retorted.
"You are such a good servant, you are still speaking for this thief!" Master Liu raised the whip in his hand and lashed at her.
Yu Kai reached out and grabbed the whip, then pulled him off the horse.
"How dare you!" Captain Fang roared, then jumped off his horse and helped Master Liu to his feet. "Capture him!" he shouted at his men.
"Yes!" Guards armed with spears rushed forward, frightening Xuan'er and making her scream. Yu Kai protected her with one hand and wielded a whip with the other, whipping the guards as they rushed forward one by one.
"You come on too!" Seeing a large number of his men falling down, Captain Fang shouted at the armored guards on horseback.
"Yes!" The armored guards rushed towards Yu Kai together, holding big swords.
"Snap!" The long whip swung and hit an armored guard in the face. A blood mark immediately appeared and the man fell off his horse.
"Pa pa!" The sounds kept ringing, and one armored guard after another was easily knocked away by Yu Kai, falling to the ground and howling in pain.
"This...this..." Master Liu was at a loss when he saw Captain Fang staring at him.
Captain Fang looked at Yu Kai, who looked calm and said, "Are you a Grandmaster?"
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Yu Kai stared at him without any fear.
"It is an iron rule of the Holy Ying Dynasty that all masters above the level must report and accept the arrangements of the court. Why are you here?" Captain Fang stared at him and asked coldly.
Yu Kai looked at Xuan'er.
"Back then, Emperor Yingtian killed Emperor Zhongshu and established the Shengying Dynasty in the far west. Although the other four emperors were no match for him, they sent their men to cause chaos on the border and were ready to attack at any time, so the Shengying Dynasty would always send additional personnel to the border." Xuan'er said in a low voice.
"Captain Fang, he must be a deserter from the battlefield! Catch him quickly!" Master Liu pointed at Yu Kai and shouted.
"I haven't had time to register yet!" Yu Kai said lightly.
"Then come with me to the City Lord's Mansion to register and obey the court's arrangements!" Captain Fang said coldly.
"Captain Fang, we can't just let him go like this!" Master Liu was anxious.
"This man is definitely a master, and he has a holy sword in his hand. I am definitely not his opponent. Take him to the City Lord's Mansion first. Someone from the City Lord's Mansion will deal with him!" Captain Fang said in a voice transmission.
Master Liu's eyes immediately lit up.
"I'm busy! I've been quite busy lately. I'll go there when I'm free. Take them all and get out!" Yu Kai said casually.
"Are you openly defying the imperial court?" Captain Fang drew out his sword, his murderous intent revealed.
"Snap!" A long whip came directly towards him, and Fang Baihu had no time to dodge. A long bloody mark was left on his face, and he fell to the ground.
He covered his blood-stained face and looked at Yu Kai in horror: "You...you are...a Grand Master!"
"What?" Master Liu was also startled and wanted to escape immediately.
A long whip flew over and instantly wrapped around him. In his panic, he was dragged to Yu Kai, who kicked him and made him kneel on the ground.
"Don't you want to avenge your parents? You can do it now!" Yu Kai took a long knife from the side and handed it to Xuan'er.
Xuan'er's hands were shaking a little as she took the long knife and walked towards Master Liu tremblingly.
