Chapter 144: Joining the Squad

  "Master, I've come to Wan Shou Town this time to buy some exotic beast blood. Recently, I've made significant progress in my study of talismans and I want to practice more. In two years' time, I should be able to become a true talisman master!" Liu Qingwu said with a smile.

  "Ah, very good." The lady smiled benevolently. "Ling Wu, your innate talent is exceptional, something I've never seen before. If you can put aside the obstacles in your heart and focus on the Dao, your future achievements may even surpass mine."

  Liu Qingwu's face turned slightly gloomy, and she lowered her head, saying: "There are some things that I, Liu Qingwu, cannot let go of, nor do I wish to let go of."

  "Poor child." The woman shook her head, and her gaze also became increasingly sharp. "It's not easy to put down what you've picked up. If you can't put it down, then break through the heart demon! I will cultivate you with all my might and help you become the master of the Kunyu Sect as soon as possible. After getting rid of those people you don't like, shouldn't you be able to focus on your cultivation?"

  "Thank you, Master. But these things, I will complete them myself." Liu Qingwu said with a firm press of her lips.

  "Naturally, you have to complete it yourself. The internal affairs of your sect, I won't interfere with either. What I can do is just give you some help in terms of resources!"

  The woman said softly, "Qingwu, Master is still saying the same thing, don't hate all men because of those bad memories. We are women, and it's our fate to find a man to rely on sooner or later. Qingwu, one day you will meet the man who truly loves you. If he appears, be sure not to miss him."

  "Qingwu will not rely on any man, Qingwu would rather be unmarried for life!" Liu Qingwu said stubbornly.

  "You little scamp!"

  The woman also helplessly shook her head, "Let's go, first follow me to rest. Until tomorrow, I'll find a good team for you to join. You should also go to the Tian Nan mountain range to train!"

  "Going for a trial?" Liu Qingwu's face showed a hint of joy, "Thank you, Master, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

  "Come with me!" The woman put down her wine glass and headed towards the second floor, Liu Qingwu lightly turned around and followed her upstairs.

  …………

  Wulin City, the military camp of the heavy armored cavalry.

  Inside Su Yan's barracks.

  In the big yard, Chen Song and Sha Long sat on a stone table, drinking heavily. The dishes on the table had gone cold, but neither of them had any intention of touching them.

  "Damn it! This little bastard!" Salon suddenly slammed his wine cup to the ground, furious, "For a woman, he actually killed his own brother! How many years have we been in the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, when have we ever heard of such a thing?! I'm going to..."

  "Damn it! He's still letting us two squad leaders stand guard for him! This little beast, if I had my way, a slap would be enough to kill him!" Chen Su's face was icy cold as he glanced at the tightly closed door, his voice chilly.

  "Damn it! We still have to serve him well, if he starves to death, Xiao will not let us off." Sala took up two plates of cold dishes and stood up, "Old Chen, you drink first, I'll go see if that little brat is dead yet."

  "How could someone like that possibly die? He must be living a great life. If he's dead, that would be for the best, so I wouldn't have to see him and get annoyed!" Chen Song said coldly.

  Salon kicked open the door with a loud bang, strode into Su Yan's room: "Little rabbit, come and eat, you won't die from eating! - Hmm, where is he?"

  Shalong looked around, but didn't see Su Yan's figure anywhere, and his face suddenly turned cold.

  "Old Chen, something's wrong! Come quickly!"

  "What's wrong?" Chen Song rushed in, his heavy sword already in hand.

  "Damn it, that kid ran away!" Sala shouted in anger.

  "Run away? How is this possible?"

  Looking at the perfectly closed doors and windows, the two of them stared at each other in dismay.

  "Report to General Xiao!" Chen Song was also a leader of ten men, and had a message scroll. He quickly pulled one out, wrote down the message, and then crushed it with a loud noise.

  A brilliant light soared into the sky and flew rapidly towards the distance.

  "Wait! Xiao Daren has arrived, we two won't be spared!" The two exchanged a bitter smile.

  "This is really strange, the doors and windows are all fine, could this kid be an escape artist?"

  …………

  Outside Wulin City.

  A figure drifted down from the treetops like a wisp of smoke and landed lightly in a clearing amidst the trees.

  The figure stopped in its tracks, revealing a young girl with a black veil covering her face.

  "Thud!" The girl exerted herself and slammed the black shadow in her hand heavily onto the ground.

  "Hmm!" A figure let out a mournful hum, and it was indeed Su Yan's voice.

  "Didn't you die?! If you're not dead, get out of here quickly!" The girl said impatiently, her voice extremely hoarse.

  "Who are you? Why did you save me?" Su Yan looked at the girl's shining eyes and said in a low voice.

  "Mind your own business. Scram, I don't want to see you, good-for-nothing." The girl said impatiently.

  "I won't leave, I want to go back!" Su Yan said with a wry smile.

  "What did you say?" The girl's eyes narrowed slightly.

  Su Yan said with a wry smile: "I was bewitched and killed two senior brothers, I am willing to accept any punishment from the sect. Even if the sect wants me dead, I will die willingly!"

  The girl snorted in disgust: "Fine! You won't leave today, tomorrow I'll bathe Qingyan City in blood! The Su family will be wiped out, not a single one left! I always keep my word!"

  Su Yan's body suddenly shook violently.

  "Get out! The farther the better! Remember what I said, don't let me see you again!" The slender figure of the girl flashed and disappeared into the night.

  Su Yan was silent for a moment, and tears flowed down her eyes again.

  "I'm rolling! I'm rolling!" Su Yan laughed miserably.

  "In the territory of Luoyun Sect, there is no place for me, Su Yan, to stand anymore!"

  "Go to the Tian Nan Mountains! Dying in the mouth of a strange beast is better than living like this!"

  Su Yan struggled to get up and stumbled northward, soon disappearing into the dark night...

  …………

  The next morning, all beasts were calm.

  Outside the gate of Heizijing Hotel, three young men came early, namely Qi Ming, Meng Qiu and Ye Lvgreen.

  Two beautiful figures walked out of the hotel.

  "Green, you've arrived!" The beautiful woman said with a smile as she saw the three of them.

  "Hello, Aunt Xīn Lán." The three boys bowed simultaneously.

  "Let me introduce you. This is my apprentice, Liu Qingwu. And this is Ye Lü Lü, the two of them are Qiming and Mengqiu." Xīn Lán smiled and said.

  "Hello, Light Dance Sister." Qi Ming said with a smile.

  Liu Qingwu hummed a non-committal sound and danced lightly without stopping.

  Zi Ming smiled slightly, seemingly indifferent.

  Meng Qiu looked at Liu Qingwu, and his small eyes suddenly shone with light, saying repeatedly: "Qingwu sister, you are really beautiful!"

  "I naturally know, need you say?" Liu Qingwu said lightly.

  Meng Qiu's face was quite thick, and he just smiled and didn't mind.

  Xinlan looked at Liu Qingwu with a helpless gaze, then turned to Ye Lvgreen and said: "Lvgreen, Qingwu's strength is not weak, but it's her first time entering the mountain. You need to take care of her more on the way, got it?"

  "Don't worry, Aunt Xinlan." Ye Lvgreen smiled and said, "I'll take good care of Qingwu sister."

  Liu Qing danced lightly and proudly, looking at Ye Lü Lü with a smile that was somewhat disdainful. She closed her mouth and didn't speak. She had heard Ye Lü Lü emphasize the two words "take care" extremely heavily, but she didn't care about it either.

  "Walk lightly, enter the mountain, listen to the green, don't show off, don't have friction with other teams, remember?" Xīn Lán reminded anxiously.

  "Yes, Master." Liu Qingwu said respectfully.

  "Alright, you can go now!" Xinlan said with a smile, "Be careful on the road."

  "Not busy, Xinlan Auntie." Ye Lü Lü said with a smile, "One of my friends also lives here, he's alone too, I'll go ask him if he wants to come into the mountains with us!"

  "Are you referring to that barbarian kid?" Meng Qiu hummed, "He doesn't need to be brought along, does he!"

  Liu Qingwu's face sank upon hearing the two words "barbarian", and she coldly swept a glance at Meng Qiu.

  "That...Ling Wu sister, I wasn't referring to you!" Meng Qiu hastily said.

  "There's nothing much to say, I was always a barbarian anyway." Liu Qingwu said coldly.

  Xinlan couldn't help but glance at Liu Qingwu, thinking to herself that this girl was great in every way, except when it came to dealing with men. She had her reasons for doing things this way, and it wasn't right to blame her for anything.

  "Green, you go! Go ask your friend."

  Ye Lü Lü smiled and went up to the second floor, arriving at Lin Feng's room.

  "Brother Lin, Brother Lin!"

  "Is it you?" Lin Feng opened the door and saw Ye Lü Lü, also somewhat astonished. "What's wrong? Why have you come?"

  "Lin Ge, our Whirlwind Beast Hunting Team is going to enter the Tian Nan mountain range today to hunt down some ferocious beasts. I see you're alone too, want to come with us?" Ye Lü Lü asked with a smile.

  "Whirlwind Scourge Squad?"

  "Our Whirlwind Beast Hunting Team, although only three people, is also very famous in Wan Shou Town! Don't believe me? You can go ask around." Ye Lü Lü said with a playful smile, suddenly lowering her voice and saying, "And this time, there's even a little beauty joining us, hehe!"

  Lin Feng also smiled.

  This green leaf is a bit mischievous, but it's still worth befriending.

  Moreover, Lin Feng originally wanted to go to the Tian Nan mountain range to gain some experience, but he basically knew nothing about it. Being able to join an experienced team would be good too.

  "Okay, I'll go with you."

  "It's still the charm of a beauty, hehe. If I didn't mention there was a beauty, Brother Lin would probably still be hesitant!" Ye Lü Lü smiled and turned around, saying "Follow me!"

  "Good!"

  Lin Feng followed Ye Lü Lü down the stairs and walked out of the hotel in big strides.

  "See, I didn't cheat you, did I? Beautiful girl!" Ye Lü Lü said with a playful smile.

  Lin Feng saw Xin Lan, Xin Lan smiled and nodded towards Lin Feng, Lin Feng also nodded in response.

  Liu Qingwu's eyes swept over Lin Feng, her slender body suddenly trembling: "Lin Feng, is that you?"

  "Huh?"

  Lin Feng looked at Liu Qingwu, his eyes suddenly becoming extremely sharp.

  The girl opposite seemed to have never seen before, but that pair of clear and clean eyes, who else could it be besides Liu Qingwu!

  "Yao Qingwu, it's you!" Lin Feng sneered coldly. "I didn't expect to run into you here! This is your true self, isn't it? I said so, the Yao Qingwu I saw that day was completely inconsistent with her reputation!"

  "Light Dance, do you know him?" Xinlan asked in surprise.
