Soon Tong Le and the other man also came over. Tan Manxing and the others were waiting here, and she went to say goodbye to County Magistrate Li on their behalf.
Tong Leren in the yard rubbed his stomach when he saw that he had to wait for a while, and volunteered to go to the kitchen to get some food.
Soon, only Tan Zhi and the other person were left in the courtyard.
Tan Manxing looked clueless as he led Tan Zhi and others to say goodbye to County Magistrate Li and leave.
Tan Zhi rested her chin on her hand and looked at Zhou Yixuan who was sitting next to her. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes and tell him the good news.
"Miss Azhi, didn't your senior sister tell you why you stayed?"
When Zhou Yixuan heard this, a look of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
"Ah? I was so happy I didn't ask."
Tan Zhi scratched his head embarrassedly as he looked at the curious Zhou Yixuan.
"Brother Zhou, if you're curious, I'll ask for you?"
She tilted her head and stared at Zhou Yixuan with bright eyes.
"No, I'm just asking casually like you."
He looked at the cute Tan Zhi, and for some reason his heart was touched, and he quickly shook his head lightly.
After several people left the county magistrate's mansion.
Tan Manxing clasped his fists towards Zhou Yixuan and the other man.
"This operation ends here for the two of you. Tan Zhi and I will not be participating in the rest of the operation. You can stay or leave as you wish."
"What! Senior Sister, aren't we going to act together?"
Only then did Tan Zhi realize that her senior sister was talking about her private affairs.
"Um."
Tan Manxing nodded calmly.
"But we haven't discovered the Red Mask Organization's conspiracy yet."
Tan Zhi bit her lip and said.
"After several encounters, those red-faced men don't seem to intend to harm innocent people, so I won't participate in the subsequent pursuit."
She didn't worry at all about how much negative impact these words would have on her.
She had no relationship with the red-faced man, and she only agreed to it because she decided it was appropriate.
Tan Zhi wanted to say something, but Zhou Yixuan quietly pulled her sleeve.
"Miss Tan is right. If you have something else to do, then leave first. I will blame myself if you get involved in any danger."
"Besides, I don't know where the red-faced man and his men have gone, and I'm going to be wandering around, so it's best if we separate now."
He also said with a fist clasp.
Tong Leren saw everyone saying this and turned to look at Tan Manxing.
"Miss Tan, yours"
"You don't have to pay back the money."
She seemed to guess what he was about to say and interrupted him.
"See you later, both of you."
She ignored Tong Leren's hesitant look and pulled Tan Zhi away after speaking.
Tan Zhi staggered as he was pulled, but did not struggle.
Although she was reluctant to leave Zhou Yixuan, her senior sister's orders were more important after all.
In the end, she could only walk and shout back.
"Brother Zhou, I will come find you later! You must remember me!!"
Zhou Yixuan stayed where he was, looking at the love in Tan Zhi's eyes. His expression was a little unnatural, and his fingers clenched subconsciously.
"Brother Tong, where are you going now?"
He suppressed his uneasiness and looked at Tong Leren who was also staring blankly ahead.
"As for me, you all have things to do, so I'll go home and relax for ten days or half a month, and then continue to drive corpses."
He spoke leisurely with his hands behind his back.
"In that case, let's go together. I want to leave the city too."
This is Tan Manxing's side.
She went to the suburbs and found a place with few people but good sunshine.
After cracking the address in the jade pendant, she began to walk towards the southeast under Tan Zhi's surprised gaze.
That's the Xiangjiang River over there. Could it be that the tomb is at the bottom of the lake?
It took them half a day to reach the nearby woods to rest.
Tan Manxing leaned against a tree trunk and ate the dry biscuits he had bought. Looking at Tan Zhi who was often in a trance, he suddenly spoke.
"Junior sister, are you thinking about Zhou Yixuan?"
"Ah! No, I haven't."
When Tan Zhi heard this, her cheeks immediately turned red. She shyly denied it, and after a while she looked shyly at Tan Manxing.
"Senior Sister, how do you know I'm thinking about him?"
Tan Manxing looked at Tan Zhi, who looked like she was in love, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a rare serious tone.
"Azhi, he is not your beloved, and Master forbids us from falling in love with outsiders."
When Tan Zhi heard the change in address, she knew that Tan Manxing was serious.
He immediately pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly, looking aggrieved.
"Sister~ He is, yes. I like him. I don't care whether Master agrees or not. At worst, I can just give up my martial arts and leave the valley."
"Nonsense, how long have you known him? Is it worth it to ruin your martial arts?"
Tan Manxing, who was not angry at first, became furious when he heard her impulsive words.
"Senior Sister, I was wrong. I will prove that he is worthy."
Tan Zhi spoke stubbornly despite feeling like he was about to be beaten.
Seeing her like this, Tan Manxing's anger subsided.
"Okay, let's put that aside for now. You have to stay alert outside, okay?"
She didn't mention it, so Tan Zhi nodded and changed the subject.
The two were resting when they suddenly heard the sound of horse riding in the distance.
"careful."
Tan Manxing turned over and sat up, protecting Tan Zhi behind him.
When she noticed the movement approaching them, she pulled Tan Zhi and jumped onto the tree trunk behind them, hiding in the shadows.
Tan Zhi also knew that the situation was not right, so she remained silent.
The two men stared vigilantly at the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, Tan Zhi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"It's Brother Zhou and the others!"
When Tan Manxing heard this, his brows furrowed.
Why them?
Although she felt strange in her heart, she did not say it out loud.
Instead, he raised his hand to signal Tan Zhi to calm down first.
Tap tap——
Soon, Zhou Yixuan and the other man came running over on horseback from a distance.
Tan Manxing also discovered that there were many men in black holding long swords behind them.
