Jun Chengning watched the figure in plain white leap and disappear.
This strange girl suddenly stepped forward and saved him.
His words contained a lot of disrespectful remarks towards himself.
Then it suddenly disappeared again.
Was this done intentionally by someone with ulterior motives, or was it just a coincidence?
A group of men in black rushed in from a distance, slowly approaching the area at an extremely fast speed.
Upon seeing the boy in white, the group of people all bowed their heads and knelt down.
"We are late in protecting our master, please punish us!" The voices were so unified that they startled all the birds in the forest into flight.
Jun Cheng rubbed his forehead with one hand. He didn't want to admit that these stupid subordinates were his subordinates.
It seems this group needs to be retrained and reworked.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the woods.
The newcomer was dressed in a blue robe, with a blue silk scarf tied around his head and long hair flowing down, looking every bit the scholar.
He walked over, bowed to the young man in white, and said, "Lin Ziye greets his master."
"No need for formalities," the white-clad youth said with a gentle wave of his sleeve, and all the men in black withdrew.
Lin Ziye saw so many corpses lying on the ground, and noticed that Jun Cheng's robes were torn in many places and bloodstains seeped through.
He took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Juncheng.
"Master, you are truly skilled in martial arts. You killed so many people all by yourself," Lin Ziye sincerely admired.
Jun Cheng took the porcelain bottle but did not immediately apply the medicine to himself. Instead, he put it in his sleeve pocket. It wasn't that his injury wasn't serious, but rather that he was a clean freak and wanted to go back to wash up before applying the medicine.
He glanced at Lin Ziye, then slowly parted his thin lips, "I didn't kill these people alone."
Lin Ziye was surprised for a moment. Could there be someone else here?
"She was a strange girl who appeared out of nowhere. Her swordsmanship was exceptional, reaching the pinnacle of skill." He said, still recalling the scene that had deeply shocked him.
"A strange girl with unparalleled swordsmanship suddenly appeared?" Lin Ziye pondered, searching his memory for any trace of the girl.
But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a single rumor about that girl.
Could it really be a girl who suddenly appeared?
But that doesn't make sense. A girl with such excellent swordsmanship must have some reputation. It's impossible that there wouldn't be a trace of her.
Could someone have deliberately orchestrated this to get close to their master? But that doesn't make sense. Shouldn't a honey trap involve a beautiful woman who can easily lower someone's guard? A girl skilled in swordsmanship would only increase the danger to others.
Lin Ziye looked at Jun Cheng with a puzzled expression, but Jun Cheng only gave him a dismissive glance.
He suddenly realized, "I will find out the girl's background and identity as soon as possible."
He bowed slightly to the young man in white, then turned and left.
This girl is too strange. He couldn't wait to find out her background and identity.
Jun Cheng whistled, and as soon as the whistle sounded, the sound of horses' hooves echoed through the forest. Soon, a tall and mighty black horse appeared in front of Jun Cheng, standing still with its tail swishing back and forth. It tilted its head slightly, looking at the person in front of it, as if inviting its master to mount the horse.
Jun Cheng smiled and walked over, patted the horse's head, and the black horse immediately bent its knees and waited.
He gently patted the horse's head. "There's no need for that. Although I'm injured, I can still mount the horse."
After speaking, the white-clad youth lightly leaped onto the horse, gripped the reins tightly, slapped the horse's rump, and the horse immediately galloped away.
All that remained was the sound of horses' hooves and a cloud of flying sand.
The forest returned to its former tranquility, and the birds that had been startled away flew back to the treetops, chirping and chattering, seemingly discussing something again.
