At first, they held some prejudice or misunderstanding against Xiaoxi, saying that Xiaoxi was a vicious person.
But after they traveled through time, they gained over a decade of firsthand experience as assassins.
Because the moment they emerged from the three-hole incense burner, they all knew that this time travel was created by Xiao Xi.
Therefore, they discovered that Xiaoxi was the real strong one.
At this point, they feel guilty and reflect on their actions, feeling remorseful for their underestimation or misunderstanding.
They felt both admiration and envy, respecting Xiaoxi's strength while also envying her abilities.
Actually, Lao Wang and Lao Dong are quite skilled now, after all, they have undergone many years of assassin training. The only regret is that their physical condition can't keep up.
Xiaoxi laughed and said, "I accept your apology. Let's all go back to the herb field now. Aren't you tired of standing here talking?"
Old Wang and Old Dong finally came to their senses and, with their keen eyesight, dug a large pit with hoes and buried Ye Bingkun's body.
Old Wang was quite self-aware, saying, "Brother Ye Cheng, do you know that I actually transmigrated into your body? So I understand that we were all involved in this matter today. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone!"
Ye Cheng felt something was off. "That's for the best." Otherwise, he would have wanted to silence them.
"We understand! We all understand. What are the rules for an assassin? We know them very well."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Back in the herb field, Xiaoxi led everyone directly to the small building in the garden.
Old Wang and Old Dong cursed Ye Bingkun again, pointing out how wrong they had been and how badly they had been deceived by him.
They lived such a frugal life, yet Ye Bingkun enjoyed a life of luxury behind his thatched hut.
Xiaoxi noticed that it was almost dusk, time for dinner.
She took out the ingredients, and Lao Wang and Lao Dong conscientiously cooked a table full of delicious dishes.
During the meal, Xiaoxi asked Lao Wang and Lao Dong what their plans were for the future.
Old Wang and Old Dong looked at Xiao Xi with longing eyes.
"If you want to follow Xiaoxi from now on, you'd better accept our utmost respect."
"Anyway, we're all assassins now. Our mindset has changed. We can no longer be the stubborn old scholars we used to be."
Ye Cheng and the others stared in astonishment.
No way, how could all of this be beyond their expectations?
Xiao Xi thought for a moment: too many people were following her, and there was still a large group of them in Shanghai. This place was far away in Beijing; after dealing with her ancestor's affairs, she and her eighth brother would have to go home.
"How about this, you continue to cultivate the medicinal herbs here, and nurture them into high-quality ones for future use in saving lives. This way, everyone's merits will increase."
Old Wang and Old Dong's eyes lit up immediately, and they pulled Xiao Xi along to go see the medicinal herb field.
Xiaoxi went to the medicinal herb field to take a look at the herbs there. They were all common herbs such as Panax notoginseng, Astragalus membranaceus, and Angelica sinensis, and they were all ripe.
"Old Wang, Old Dong, you two should harvest this batch of herbs and sell them. Next, plant the herbs I provide for you."
Xiaoxi took out several cloth bags and handed them to Lao Wang.
"These herbs are extraordinary; they are full of spiritual energy and grow exceptionally fast."
"Once they're ripe, you can eat them too. This will help change your constitution, making it more compatible with your assassin skills."
Old Wang and Old Dong were overjoyed to receive the herb seeds.
They held Xiaoxi in even higher esteem and secretly resolved to cultivate the herbs well, feeling increasingly hopeful for the future.
Before leaving, Xiaoxi instructed Lao Wang and Lao Dong to demolish those dilapidated thatched huts and move into the small building.
She left some gold bars as living expenses for Old Wang and Old Dong, and also gave them a communication stone.
Even if the communication signal is poor in the mountains, you can still make contact using spirit stones.
After settling these people in, Xiao Xi, Ye Lingfeng, and Ye Cheng returned to the capital.
Ye Bingkun is dead, and Ye Lingfeng and the others have avenged themselves. The next step is to find the great demon, the patriarch.
