Fight, fight, fight
"Okay, angry out of shame!"
"How dare these two people speak so arrogantly here!"
"How arrogant! Too arrogant! With so many of us, how could we be afraid of you two?!"
The people around the campfire suddenly jumped up in anger, and drew their swords and pointed them at the two girls not far away.
Yu Linhuan waved at Jiang Jingyuan without even turning his head, then rushed forward with his sword in hand.
Jiang Jingyuan retreated silently and corrected himself in his heart: "It's not two, it's one..." These people were nothing to Yu Linhuan. It was like cutting melons and vegetables. He was afraid that before Yu Linhuan could vent his anger, they would all be chopped to pieces.
The girl in the light green dress quickly shuttled into the crowd in front with a sword in hand.
In the light of the orange-red bonfire, she moved as light as a startled swallow as she passed by the standing figures, with a cold light flashing in her hands. The figures who passed by her opened their mouths in fear and slowly fell backwards.
Jiang Jingyuan was watching from behind and felt that what Yu Linhuan had just said was not an exaggeration at all. These people didn't even have a chance to attack with their swords before they were killed by Yu Linhuan's sword, whose figure was so fast that only an afterimage was left.
"This is a true cultivator..." Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help but feel emotional again.
The fighting style of a real cultivator is completely different from her style of simply using condensed spiritual power to hit people. Her fighting style is too clumsy. She can only kill others in one blow when she launches a sneak attack. It is completely thankless to fight others head-on, but she has no way to adjust and change in a short time.
Jiang Jingyuan sighed inwardly, and suddenly felt a chill on her back, and a strong wind rushed straight to the back of her head.
Jiang Jingyuan paused for thought.
Behind her, a man raised a long knife and chopped towards Jiang Jingyuan's back with a ferocious look on his face:
"Just die for me!!!"
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes moved slightly, thinking that he treated her as the powerless person who was being protected.
Was he trying to distract Yu Linhuan to protect her, or was he just trying to drag someone down with him when his death was imminent?
Seeing the long knife covered in dried blood and filled with murderous aura about to chop the person in front of him in half, the man holding the knife with both hands subconsciously revealed a crazy smile on his face, and seemed to hear the screams of the person in front of him struggling in pain.
Die!
Die!!!
Blood debt must be paid with blood, go to hell——
However, the imagined scene of the long sword splitting the girl in half did not appear. The iron-black long sword covered with dried blood was blocked by a force before it was about to hit the girl's flying hair, and it could not get any closer. The hideousness and madness on the face of the man holding the sword froze instantly.
He widened his eyes and saw the girl in front of him turned around slowly. A slender white hand slowly raised up and grabbed his neck in an irresistible way, although it looked very slow.
"Dang..."
The iron-black long sword covered with dried blood fell to the ground. The girl in front of him had an indifferent expression, and her pair of dark eyes looked at him calmly, as if they were the endless abyss or the gaping mouth of some ancient giant beast. Looking into their eyes made people feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar, and the hairs on their bodies stood up.
Jiang Jingyuan grabbed his neck, and the invisible spiritual power in his hand suddenly compressed. "Crack...Crack..." The tendons and bones in that neck were instantly broken into pieces, and the head with wide-open eyes on the neck suddenly tilted to one side.
Jiang Jingyuan was sharp-eyed. Before the blood from the man's seven orifices could drip onto her hands, she threw the person away in disgust.
These people were also easy for her... Jiang Jingyuan turned around and saw, not surprisingly, a large number of people lying on the ground, and Yu Linhuan standing by the bonfire that had not yet been extinguished, polishing his sword.
It was obvious that Yu Linhuan was still angry. She took the handkerchief and slashed the long sword fiercely, then threw the blood-red handkerchief into the crackling bonfire next to her.
The long sword hummed, and she sheathed the still smelling long sword in her hand. She turned her head and spat in hatred, her face grim. "Well, another handkerchief is stuck in there."
Jiang Jingyuan glanced around and at the collapsed figures on the ground to make sure no one had escaped.
Suddenly, Yu Linhuan leaned over from beside her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you think it's dangerous here?"
Huh? Jiang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said honestly, "It's quite dangerous."
Yu Linhuan smiled when he heard this, paused, and then gave her another flattering smile and asked, "Then do you want to hire me to protect you? Until I get you out of Grandma Forest!"
He wants to recover some health... Jiang Jingyuan understood.
Yu Linhuan looked at her nervously.
Jiang Jingyuan turned to look at her, smiled and said, "Okay, then you must protect me well."
Even if she wasn't hired, she should have thanked Yu Linhuan just for the time he pulled her earlier.
The purpose of expressing gratitude is simply to encourage the other party to make the same choice as much as possible next time.
"Of course!" Yu Linhuan beamed again, and said confidently, "We at the Baizhexiantang have experience with this kind of thing!"
As they spoke, the two of them took out their communication cards and added each other's contact information.
Jiang Jingyuan used a message card to transfer some money to Yu Linhuan.
In fact, many transactions among the immortals use magical tools or some rare treasures as rewards, but Jiang Jingyuan does not have enough magical tools in her hands now, and she does not know what kind of magical tools would be appropriate. It would be better to give a sum of money directly. She thought Yu Linhuan would not refuse.
However, when she looked up, she saw Yu Linhuan staring down at the message card in his hand with a serious expression. She paused, wondering if she had given the wrong amount or if the money was not enough.
Jiang Jingyuan thought about it and asked directly, "Is this price suitable?"
The young woman in green in front of her clenched the message card in her right hand. She took a deep breath, raised her face, and smiled brightly. She said, "Suitable...suitable..."
Her voice was a little restrained, as if she was suppressing some strong emotions.
Jiang Jingyuan paused, then couldn't help but say, "If it's not appropriate, then..."
"No!" Yu Linhuan suddenly interrupted her with a high note.
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned, not understanding what she was saying, and said, "Go ahead."
Yu Linhuan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, tears welled up in them. She raised her head to hold back her tears, then looked at Jiang Jingyuan in front of her solemnly and said, "It's so suitable..."
Tears welled up in her eyes again, and Yu Linhuan said tearfully, "I'm telling you, I'm telling you... I like the big patrons from Yuan Country the most..."
Jiang Jingyuan: “…?” No, then why are you crying…
Seeing that Yu Linhuan had already swiftly put away the message board and turned to walk beside her, with a serious expression on his face and a smile on his face from time to time, Jiang Jingyuan did not say anything more about it. As they walked, he asked doubtfully, "Is it only Yuan Country?"
Yu Linhuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously and said, "The people of Yuan Country are all good people."
Seeing Jiang Jingyuan beside her showing some interest, she immediately said, "Other tasks are complicated and don't pay much, only the big bosses in Yuan Country are so generous!"
Jiang Jingyuan was a little surprised when he heard this and asked, "But when I was in Yu Country, I saw gold and silver everywhere. It was much more luxurious than Yuan Country. Aren't the people of Yu Country generous?"
Yu Linhuan's mouth twisted into a cold, disdainful smile. She snorted sullenly and said, "Little pay, lots of work—that's what they're talking about. When we first talked about the reward, everyone in Baizhetang was so excited, rushing to go. But when we got there, we found things were several times more complicated than we'd originally thought. But now that we were there, we couldn't bear to pay for the trip, so we just had to bite the bullet and do it."
Uh, why does it feel so unsurprising... Jiang Jingyuan was silent.
Not surprisingly, both sides.
Having asked all the questions, Jiang Jingyuan simply continued, "What about Lin Country and Chen Country?"
Jiang Jingyuan had long been familiar with the customs of Lin Country, but she didn't know much about Chen Country... She just didn't seem to have heard any rumors about being stingy or greedy.
"Lin Country?" Yu Linhuan laughed when he heard this and said, "It's good enough that they don't compete with us for business. How could they be willing to spend money to hire us to do things?"
Yu Linhuan smiled briefly and then stopped. With a complicated expression, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly tired and dejected, and asked Jiang Jingyuan, "Do you know about the new spiritual canal that Chenguo built a while ago?"
Jiang Jingyuan nodded blankly. Is that what it comes to?
"That's what we built." Yu Linhuan said with a complicated expression, "Hehe." "The Chen Kingdom values military power. Their own people are always training soldiers and horses, or practicing day and night. They asked us to do the hard work of repairing the Lingqu Canal and building the city..."
As she spoke, deep resentment appeared in her eyes.
Jiang Jingyuan fell silent again.
Indeed, although every country has countless cultivators, and there are some with advanced cultivation who can cut mountains and rivers with a single sword strike, which monarch would be willing to let them do such menial work? But if it were cultivators from other places, it would be different. They would be willing to use them however they wanted without any regrets...
Besides, the reward is not something that is difficult or requires one to fight against many people alone, so the reward will definitely not be that high.
Normally, cultivators from other places wouldn't do such things for such a small amount of money, but this is the Baizhetang! They even do business with Yuguo where the money can do the work of several people, so how could they refuse Chenguo's business, which is still reasonable?
The two of them thought of this at the same time and fell silent.
After a moment, Jiang Jingyuan suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "What about outside of these countries? Isn't business in those immortal sects also difficult?"
Yu Linhuan was silent again, then spoke with difficulty, "Do you know what the biggest difference between them and the Lin Kingdom is?"
"What is it?" Jiang Jingyuan asked curiously.
The sky gradually darkened, and the temperature in the deep forest plummeted. Yu Linhuan raised his head, closed his eyes, and said sadly, "The biggest difference is that the people in the Immortal Sect make money from us, and we can't refuse!!!"
Jiang Jingyuan: "???"
Jiang Jingyuan looked at her blankly.
Yu Linhuan counted them one by one with a distorted expression, saying, "We've tried not to go to Baiwen Tower, but we still need the talismans from Tianlu Pavilion and the elixirs from Beigui Shuangque, right? And those incense from the Lin family's Hanxiao Tower, we have to keep some on hand, right? And as for the Shenzhao Sect, we don't ask them for fortune-telling, but we want to get the latest information they deduce, so we have to make some arrangements..."
"Also, we often have to rely on specialized sects like Longyin Pavilion and Huamen..."
The more Yu Linhuan spoke, the uglier her expression became. In the end, she was speechless and became completely distraught.
