"We're going to the vicinity of Mount Takaoka." Qiao Suinian didn't hide anything and directly stated his destination.
"Mount Gaogang? That place is probably very dangerous now! What are you going there for?" Ma Baotian couldn't help but ask.
"Sigh, there's no other way. I have relatives over there, so I have to go," Qiao Suinian said helplessly.
As they ate and chatted, Qiao Suinian quickly learned the basic information about Ma Baotian and the others.
Ma Baotian is the head of the Hunyuan Sect. He makes a living by running a martial arts school. The three men and two women beside him are his prized students. They learned martial arts before the apocalypse and awakened their combat professions after the apocalypse. Combined with their martial arts, they complement each other perfectly, making them exceptionally powerful.
Their mission was to protect Yang Beini and help her leave Jinghai City.
Yang Beini's identity is extremely mysterious. She is said to be the daughter of a big shot in Kyoto. Ma Baotian was unwilling to reveal it at all, and Qiao Suinian did not insist.
As for joining their team to escort Yang Beini, Qiao Suinian had even less interest and directly rejected Ma Baotian's offer.
Putting aside the fact that Yang Beini had been glaring at Qiao Suinian every now and then since she sat down, Qiao Suinian had no interest in being a bodyguard for the young lady. He would leave as soon as it was light after a night's rest.
Seeing this, Ma Baotian had no choice but to give up and left Qiao Suinian a business card.
In his view, Qiao Suinian, who possessed a legendary skill, was clearly someone worth befriending.
After eating and drinking their fill, Qiao Suinian and the others were about to rest when Ah Long suddenly came over and said to Qiao Suinian seriously.
"Your name is Qiao Suinian, right? You should apologize to Miss Yang!"
"Huh?" Qiao Suinian almost doubted her ears. "What did you say?"
“I’m telling you, you should apologize to Miss Yang because your arrival made her unhappy!” Ah Long’s tone became colder.
"What, did Miss Yang send you?" Qiao Suinian asked, somewhat puzzled.
"No! But I feel I should come! It's what we martial artists should do to stand up for the weak." Ah Long said with a firm look in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Suinian looked as if she had just realized something and murmured, "Then I understand, you are Boiling Sheep!"
Ah Long was taken aback at first, then his face flushed red instantly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just can't stand seeing a grown man like you bullying a woman!"
Qiao Suinian: "I understand, you are Boiling Sheep who has merged with the soul of the Two-Faced Turtle!"
"I already said I have nothing to do with Boiling Sheep! I just can't stand your behavior!" A-Long's forehead veins bulged.
"Ah Long, don't bother arguing with such low-class people!" Yang Beini snorted coldly, glancing at Qiao Suinian with disgust.
"No, Miss Yang, I can't just stand by and watch you be humiliated. If he doesn't apologize, I'll beat him until he does!"
Ah Long made a move to attack, but fortunately Ma Baotian stopped him in time.
"Ah Long! You're not allowed to be rude to Brother Sui Nian!"
Seeing Ma Baotian speak, A Long had no choice but to lower his raised fist and whisper a threat in Qiao Suinian's ear.
"My master is here, so I'll let this slide for now! You'd better watch out!"
"Give up. Being a Boiling Sheep doesn't end well. Even the hardest-working Boiling Sheep can only push Pleasant Goat's butt from behind." Qiao Suinian shook his head, and A Long almost flew into a rage again upon hearing this.
Time slips away silently, like the hair on the head of a young person who stays up all night; the night is deep.
Qiao Suinian and Feng Zhizhao went upstairs to find two rooms, made a simple bed on the floor, and started to sleep.
Jiang Ping slept in the innermost room, Feng Zhizhao in the middle, and Qiao Suinian slept in the outermost room. Han Yueling and Zuo Fangya were in another room, while the two little skeletons were assigned by Qiao Suinian to guard the doors of the two rooms.
The room gradually filled with even snoring sounds.
A dark shadow drifted past their window, and then a pale face silently pressed against the window, observing the three sleeping people. Qiao Suinian, who was fast asleep just a second ago, instantly opened his eyes.
"Who goes there?!"
With a deep shout, Qiao Suinian swung his dragon-scale club and charged toward the window.
The dark figure seemed to be startled and turned to flee at an extremely fast speed.
Qiao Suinian smashed open the window with a bang and chased after him, but by the time he landed, the dark figure had already vanished without a trace.
On the second floor, there was a grotesque corpse, and the ground was covered in scarlet blood.
Ah Long is dead.
"Frame-up? A very low-level tactic, but it's quite effective." A meaningful smile appeared on Qiao Suinian's face.
Then, the people inside filed out and surrounded the bodies of Qiao Suinian and A Long.
"It was you! You killed Senior Brother A Long!" Wang Guang, A Long's junior brother, exclaimed in shock!
The other members of the Hunyuan Sect also looked extremely grim.
Just as it got dark, A Long and Qiao Suinian had an argument. Late at night, A Long died, and Qiao Suinian was right next to him.
No matter how you look at it, the scene before you makes it seem like Qiao Suinian killed Ah Long in the middle of the night because she harbored a grudge.
Ma Baotian stepped forward and examined A Long's eyelids. His pupils were just beginning to dilate, and the blood was still warm, indicating that he had only recently died.
The cause of death was a fatal stab to the throat. The killer used tremendous force, cutting open the entire throat and revealing the white neck bone. If the cut had been any deeper, Ah Long's head might have been severed.
"Young friend Qiao Suinian, you probably need to give me an explanation, don't you?" Ma Baotian took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but there was still anger in his eyes.
