"From today onwards, Zhanchen Tower will cease to exist in the martial world."
When Zhang, the leader of the alliance, announced this matter in front of the martial arts practitioners who had come to help, it should have been a happy occasion, but everyone remained surprisingly calm.
Some were even at a loss.
"They'd rather die in a way that lets everyone vent their anger. They're usually the most troublesome in the martial arts world, how come they can't even beat a Hun?"
"Why couldn't she make it through? That woman who always had a flower in her hair is gone just like that? I was arguing with her just a few days ago, saying that I would attack her after the Huns were defeated."
Some of the female warriors couldn't hold back their tears. The martial arts world scattered like birds and beasts. Jiang Tianxin, who was recuperating next door to Huo Xiaolong, dragged her injured leg to the window and asked...
"Brother Pomegranate, can our Zhanchen Tower retire now?"
The man sitting outside the window nodded.
"Yes, it's possible. Haven't you heard? Everyone from Zhanchen Tower is dead."
"Finally, I'm out of those gloomy, deep forests. Brother, can you ask your landlord if there are any vacant houses here? I'll buy them all."
"Everyone in our building has moved here. It's good to have a big tree to lean on, and the martial arts alliance leader is protecting us."
The man turned his head and asked
Do you have that much money?
The girl smiled and took out the book from her bundle. This was one of the two books she had brought from the Jiang residence years ago; she had given the other one to Huo Xiaolong.
Tianxin opened the book cover, and inside, instead of pages, was a large gold brick.
"Is that enough, bro?"
"Did you bring this gold brick from home?"
"OK."
"Does anyone else in the building know?" Shiliu still wanted to ask. After all these years, had no one noticed that this child had so much money?
"No one reads books in the building except my senior brother, who is reading storybooks."
"..."
The main reason for their loss is their lack of education, right? But the people from Zhanchenlou still can't live in the red-light district. First, there isn't enough space. Second, Jiang Tianxin also wants to stay away from the red-light district; she doesn't want to cause trouble for Mingzheng.
Inside the ancient doctor's clinic, Liu Xiaohua was wrapped up in three layers of gauze, with an extra layer of gauze on her stomach. Thousand red fruits were applied to her wounds, but at least the woman could open her eyes and see people and talk.
Those senior brothers and sisters whom Jiang Tianxin thought were beyond saving were also covered in injuries, but they were still alive.
"I'm still alive?" Liu Xiaohua looked at Tianyang, who was busy taking care of them, in disbelief. Could it be that the city was lost and this child had also gone to see the King of Hell with her?
“I’m alive, Senior Sister, don’t overthink it,” Jiang Tianyang replied.
Where is your senior brother?
The woman looked around, trying to see if her beloved was still there. Finding him missing, she struggled to her feet, and Tianyang immediately put down the towel he was holding and came forward to help her.
"Your senior brother is dead?" Liu Xiaohua asked anxiously, holding her junior brother's hand.
"No, my senior brother went to Fengyue Tower to buy food. Doctor Gu said you would wake up today, so he went to buy you some of your favorite foods."
"really?"
"really."
The young boy sat by the bed, feeding her water sip by sip, and then continued...
"Senior sister, we don't need to live in the deep mountains and forests anymore."
Perhaps due to the lack of sunlight for many years, the people of Zhanchen Tower all had deathly pale faces. Coupled with their serious injuries, they looked rather frightening, especially at night.
"Leader Zhang told the outside world, 'We have all died in battle.'"
"At least they gave us some dignity."
Seeing Shiyi walk in carrying a lunchbox, Liu Xiaohua finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"I never imagined that I would one day be able to live in the sunlight."
"real."
The stern-faced man stepped forward, took the water from his junior brother's hand, placed it on the table, and then pulled the woman into his arms, saying...
"We made it through."
Back then, when they were under their master's tutelage, they felt that they might not live to see tomorrow. After their master died, they felt that they would have to live in the deep mountains and forests for the rest of their lives. But that was alright, as long as no one tormented them.
But human nature is always greedy. It wasn't just Liu Xiaohua and Eleven; all the assassins from Zhanchen Tower would often go to the foot of the mountain to look out. They were like woodlice in a dark corner, greedily watching those who could live openly and honestly in the sunlight.
“Tianyang and Tianxin bought us houses in Pingyang. Everyone in the building has one.”
"My fellow students are all still alive."
"Xiaohua, we did it."
I remember that year, we were just a boy and a girl, our faces soaked with rain, our wounds stained crimson. We stood there in the pouring rain, watching our master's gruesome, cold body die, our faces expressionless. But we didn't feel much joy. With our master's passing, we also uncovered the true master behind the Zhanchen Tower.
This building serves only the most distinguished people in the Great Yan.
Even if they could all run away together and disappear from the world, there would still be other Zhanchenlou in the martial arts world, doing the same things as them.
Children will still walk the same paths they walked back then.
So Eleven, Xiao Hua, and Zhang Mengzhu agreed that if anything happened, they would put on a show, since the martial arts world was just a bunch of hooligans anyway.
Jiang Tianyang stepped outside, leaving the two of them alone to enjoy their time together, while the young boy happily went to the brothel to find his sister.
As soon as I stepped inside, I saw my sister and Huo Xiaolong sitting there gesturing and arguing, both of them injured and still not at peace.
"Jiang Tianxin, you're really tough."
"Of course, my senior brothers and sisters beat me up every day."
"You're having such a miserable time?"
"It's alright, you'll get used to it after a while. The main problem is that there are a lot of senior brothers and sisters here, there's nothing I can do about it."
The girl in white walked out of the room carrying a medicine jar and approached Jiang Tianxin and Wang Dani'er.
"Come on, lift your leg up, it's time to change the dressing."
Two large birds were circling in the sky, his own little black bird and war eagle. The sunlight shone into the yard, so bright that you could breathe out. Several girls were still playing and fooling around in the yard, not behaving themselves even while getting their dressings changed.
Wang Dani kicked over the medicine jar, and the girl in white was so angry that she pointed at her nose and couldn't speak. Her sister stood the medicine jar up and handed it to her. Then Huo Xiaolong peeled an apple for his girlfriend.
That's great.
My sister said she wanted to be a young lady again, not like the young lady in the Jiang family, but a peaceful one. In all these years at Zhanchen Tower, Jiang Tianxin's hands have never been stained with blood. Everyone has protected her very well. So, she wants to be a young lady again and bring the people from Zhanchen Tower over to live with them.
“Jiang Tianxin, I’ve noticed you’re quite wealthy. You bought a whole street of houses just like that,” Huo Xiaolong said.
"Don't you have one too? I gave it to you before."
"You'll give me money? When?" The girl put her legs on the stool opposite her and sat up, saying to her.
"When you gave me the ginseng pills."
"ah?"
Jiang Tianxin looked at her in disbelief and asked...
"You didn't forget to look through the book I gave you, did you?"
Huo Xiaolong shook his head.
"No, that book is too thick; it gives me a headache just looking at it."
"Why don't you go in and search now?"
