Youth is always full of ignorance and excitement. Many people have had fantasies like "she likes me", and many of them really do.

As the little princess of Yunjian Pavilion, Lin Xiaoran has countless admirers, and the young man is just one of them. The young man is definitely not the only one who even thinks that Lin Xiaoran may like him as well.

But the young man is definitely the most determined among all people.

It just seems a bit... used in the wrong place...

It is human nature to admire young girls. But to admire an eight-year-old girl is a bit...

Ahem, it’s actually understandable, right?

In short, he, who was still a teenager at the time, embarked on the journey of seeking to become stronger.

And what about Lin Xiaoran?

After the young man left, she felt lost for a while, after all, a good friend suddenly disappeared from her sight. But not long after, she forgot about it, and wanted to find her mother, so she sneaked down the mountain by herself.

Everyone knows what happened next. Lin Xiaoran walked until he became a beggar, and then he met Feng Shao, and began to focus all his energy on Feng Shao...

The young man didn't know any of this. He only knew that the girl he wanted to marry was about to get married.

So he went straight to Wuling City.

He wanted to ask Lin Xiaoran if she still remembered him and if she was willing to marry Feng Shao. If she still remembered and was unwilling to marry Feng Shao, then even if it would offend the entire Yunjian Pavilion, he would take her away.

As for the other answer, he didn't think much about it.

At this moment, the young man was thinking more about Lin Xiaoran now, how graceful she has become. Thinking of the good times in the past, he couldn't help but smile. But when he thought of the dim future, his heart was shrouded in a haze again.

As a result, he has been in a bad mood recently and often quarrels with the three guards.

Sure enough, after the young man opened his mouth, the three guards immediately became furious and could not help but shout, "Who are you, kid? You have always been sarcastic to us brothers along the way. We brothers have tolerated you all the way because of Lao Zhou's face. But if you insist on not knowing what is good for you, don't blame us brothers for being rude!"

The young man sneered: "Okay! I want to see how you can be rude to me!"

"you!"

Just as they were about to fight again, a soft yet helpless female voice suddenly rang out from the middle carriage: "Can you guys stop arguing? Meeting is fate, and being able to walk this path is also our destiny. Why do we always quarrel over trivial matters? Wuling City is about to arrive, do we have to fight on the road?"

Hearing the female voice, the leader of the three guards snorted coldly and said, "For Miss Zhou's sake, I will let you go today. But boy, remember this, don't be so arrogant when you go out!"

The young man was about to retort, but he heard the woman say, "Brother Mo, please be magnanimous and stop arguing."

After hearing this, the young man was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Then let's do as Miss Zhou wishes!"

The businessman surnamed Zhou also tried to smooth things over at this time, saying with a smile: "You are all young men full of vigor and vitality, and it is inevitable that you will get anxious and angry over trivial matters. If you respect me, Old Zhou, then wait until we get to Wuling City and have a meal together. Let's sit together, have a meal, drink some wine, and any conflicts will be resolved!"

The guard leader laughed and said, "Old Zhou, you are the only one who knows how to talk! Well, since we are almost at Wuling City, I won't argue with this guy."

The young man remained silent, just looking far ahead.

After about half an hour, the tall and majestic walls of Wuling City finally came into view. Seeing them from afar, the merchant named Zhou couldn't help but show joy on his face and said to everyone, "We are almost there! Finally, we are almost there! In another half an hour, we will be able to enter the city!"

The leader of the guards also looked relieved: "We are so exhausted on this journey! We must take a good hot bath after we enter the city!"

Just when everyone was feeling relaxed after seeing Wuling City, the young man suddenly shouted, "Attention! There are enemies!"

As he said this, the young man jumped off the carriage, drew his sword, and looked back eagerly. The others couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment when they saw this, because they didn't notice anything.

After a moment, a slightly sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Boy, I didn't expect you to be able to detect me, you are really extraordinary! No wonder the young master values ​​you so much!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, because they didn't see the other person at all, but the other person's voice was clearly heard here, which showed that the other person was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

The young man had a serious look on his face, and replied, "You chased me and killed me together, so you think highly of me?"

"Of course!" the sharp voice laughed, "Before you, few people could receive such high treatment!"

At this time, everyone finally saw a figure at the end of the road. The man was dressed in black, even his face was covered with a layer of black cloth, only his eyes were exposed, and each arm had a set of steel claws, which were flashing a frightening cold light in the moonlight.

One of the guards whispered to the leading guard, "Brother, where do you think this man came from?"

The leading guard had an unpleasant expression on his face and gritted his teeth, "How should I know? But just looking at this man's posture, I know he is not easy to mess with. We brothers have been in this business for so many years, I'm afraid we are going to fail here today, right?"

The young man looked at the person who came and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid you have followed us all the way. Why don't you take action yet?"

The man smiled and said, "I have a habit. If I can't kill with one strike, I'd rather not strike at all. You seem to be defenseless, but in fact you are ready to fight back at any time. Am I right?"

The young man nodded slowly: "Amazing, you can't even hide this from you, you are worthy of being the assassin of Qingfeng Tower."

When they heard the three words "Qingfeng Tower", everyone's face changed.

Qingfeng Tower is a famous assassin organization in Dongzhou, active in both the cultivation and secular worlds. Both cultivators and warriors have heard of their name.

Qingfeng Tower rose to prominence more than a thousand years ago. It is rumored that it was founded by the abandoned disciples of Ziqing Holy Land at that time. At the beginning, Qingfeng Tower appeared as a killer organization. Because of its many masters, it killed countless masters of both cultivation and martial arts, which made many sects at that time very afraid. Later, because of its unscrupulous behavior, it finally aroused public anger and attracted many sects to attack it, and the strength of Qingfeng Tower began to decline.

After the first owner of Qingfeng Tower was wiped out by the righteous forces, the second owner took the initiative to ask the righteous forces for a handshake and peace. No one knows what means he used, but he actually made the righteous sects at that time give up the pursuit of Qingfeng Tower and even acquiesced to the existence of Qingfeng Tower.

However, it was also from that moment that Qingfeng Tower began to move from darkness to light.

Although Qingfenglou is a famous assassin organization, it does not only do assassin work, but also collects intelligence. However, due to the agreement with the righteous sect, Qingfenglou is still a little cautious about providing intelligence.

For example, Qingfeng Tower can tell you which sect holds the skills you want, and it can also tell you what opportunities may be hidden in a secret realm, but it will never tell you what color underwear Xiao Ruoyao is wearing today.

As long as they dared to provide this kind of information, Lin Fengtian would lead his men to destroy the entire Qingfeng Tower the next day, and no one would dare to dissuade him.

In other words, as long as it does not harm the interests of the big forces and does not damage the face of the big forces, Qingfeng Tower can provide any intelligence. And Qingfeng Tower is able to deal with many forces by relying on this ability to collect intelligence.

As for the assassins' services, there are also restrictions. Some people from all the major sects are blacklisted by Qingfeng Tower. Anyone on the list cannot be touched by Qingfeng Tower. People outside the list, if they belong to a powerful force, can be injured but not killed; if they do not belong to a powerful force, there is no taboo, they can be killed if they want.

As for the independent cultivators, there is no need to mention them at all.

In the eyes of Qingfeng Tower, the young man was a casual cultivator who could be killed at will.

The young man said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, do you still want to do it?"

The other party smiled and was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed. He looked up at the sky and saw a girl in white floating in the air with a sword.

The girl looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, with an indifferent expression and a frosty face. The girl looked down at the assassin from Qingfeng Tower and bowed, saying, "Are you from Qingfeng Tower?"

The man thought to himself: Isn’t what you are asking nonsense?

But even though the girl was only at the Xiantian realm, she was surrounded by murderous intent and sword energy, making people feel like they would be killed if they stepped within five feet of her. The man swallowed his saliva and answered honestly: "Yes, I am from Qingfeng Tower, and I am the seventh of the Ghost Gate, Ghost Claw."

The young girl said calmly, "Senior Ghost Claw, this place is under the jurisdiction of Wuling City. Please do not commit violence here, so as not to hurt the harmony."

Gui Zhua was unwilling to give in, but he couldn't help but be secretly shocked by the extraordinary sword energy of this girl. He couldn't help but think that the legendary free and easy sword fairy was probably just like this?

He couldn't help but ask, "But I don't know who the girl is?"

The girl said, "I am the eldest disciple of Wuling City Lord Feng, and my master gave me the name Feng Lingxue."
