It would take a lot of time to deal with the aftermath of the Jimo Villa, but Li Ye and the others couldn't stay here for long, so they could only gather up the corpses hastily, and Cui Keli wrote to Cui Shulin to let him arrange the people of the Cui family to come and take over the things in the Jimo Villa as soon as possible.
When leaving the Jimo Villa, Cui Keli bowed three times on the ground towards the villa in front of the gate. When this Confucian scholar looked up, his expression had returned to normal, however, Li Ye and the others wouldn't know what he had sworn in his heart.

In the carriages carrying goods, Yang Feng held a straw plucked from the roadside in his mouth and rested his hands on the piled goods of the carriage. A tiny smile appeared on his face as he saw his fellows follow the carriages with dusty faces.
These fellows were armed with knives. Some of them were young, only in their teens and some wer
Yang Feng's limbs were stiff. Just now, he said to the black-robed childe that swordsmen always violated the law by violence and that there wouldn't be vicious murder incidents in broad daylight, expect the Penglai Taoist sect that was very powerful and that even the Pinglu government couldn't control. But now, in his sight, Skinny Monkey was falling down with his life uncertain and the Big Master of the carriage gang fell on the ground, his right arm flying away from his shoulder. "How could this happen?" "Who wanted to fight against the carriage gang?" "Are they the bandits coming for robbing the goods of the carriage gang?" When Yang Feng saw the childe with a gloomy look, he understood. He looked familiar. He was the incapable childe who was beaten by Yang Feng because he injured a fellow of the carriage gang at the courier station yesterday and who said to destroy the carriage gang
Thanks to Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang's prompt assistance, everyone at the carriage shop was unharmed with the exception of Big Master and the skinny guy, who were already under attack in the first place. To most people, that was only a crisis without much real threat. Big Master came up to Li Ye and the others to express his gratitude once his condition stabilized. His broken arms would never be normal again, but with the help of the Cultivation Pill, he was able to make a nearly full recovery from his injuries. Li Ye then asked Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang to continue guarding Cui Keli and the carriage gang, continuing the journey towards the east, while he made up some excuses to leave and went in pursuit of those from Wang family. Li Ye never told them about his plan truthfully, as he still couldn't reveal his true identity and intention before his preparations were finished. Otherwise, his actions would be made known to Penglai sect.
Mu Qingliu, the Taoist in white robe, looked up to the sky in the east as he walked out of the villa, then shifted his horsetail whisk to another side and sighed. "I heard that the new commissioner of Pinglu, Li Ye, has arrived in Qi Prefecture. He suppressed both the Wu family and the Huafuzhu Mountain sect in one day, and has gained control over the court and the Jianghu of Qi Prefecture." "In just one day..." "This Prince An might be a newcomer, but he's definitely not to be underestimated. It's truly impressive for a young man in his early twenties to be so experienced and vicious, surprising everyone with his actions before they even realized he'd taken any." He was impressive indeed, because not even the head of the Penglai sect had time to react. Mu Qingliu also heard that Prince An established a department called the Black Office to gain control over the Jianghu of Pinglu, all sects must submit to them reg
Wang Lingyu buried his face in his arms, feeling wronged."What's the point of beating up a hundred weaklings like me? Why don't you beat up those who bullied me instead?" Wang Hanshan still couldn't suppress his anger, he sat down in his sandalwood chair and said, "That small carriage shop had at most thirty people, and their leader was only at Level 1 of Qi-refining. How were they tough to handle? Who exactly were those two Taoists and that young man?" "They definitely weren't anyone significant! They dressed like beggars! Also, they were only using one peach wood sword, not even one spiritual sword! The thought of those people just makes me angry!" answered Wang Lingyu still covering his face. Wang Hanshan slammed the armrest of his chair. Had he slammed any harder, it would have shattered to pieces. If Wang Lingyu's mother never spoiled him till he became such a good-for-nothing, he wouldn't be saying such stupid things right now.
Sharp fragments sliced across Wang Hanshan's face and blood started oozing out. His big eyeballs were fixed at the corner of his eyes, filled with despair and fear. The pit next to his face was as deep as an abyss that seemed to lead straight to hell. Wang Hanshan felt as if he was summoned by Yama, as if his soul had already left his body and fallen into that pit. Wang Hanshan started breathing heavily as soon as Li Ye loosened his grip. Staring at that pit by the side, he still couldn't believe Li Ye's punch didn't kill him. He knew that if Li Ye wished, he could easily have killed him. As for Wang Lingyu, he'd already passed out when Li Ye's fist hit the ground. Li Ye squatted in front of Wang Hanshan and said with a smile, "To deal with ordinary people, violence only comes after courtesy. In order to make a soldier trust my capabilities, I must instead show my strength through violence first. I wonder if my qualification me
The carriage gang entered a small town. Although some unpleasant things happened on the way, there was no reason to turn back without getting the goods delivered. Moreover, Cui Keli's carriage was bringing up the rear of the carriage convoy, plus with Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang around, the fellows of the carriage gang who had seen them fight felt very safe. Because of gratitude, the fellows of the carriage gang including Yang Feng talked with Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang warmly all the way. Besides asking them for guidance on cultivation, the opportunity to talk with the fairy Taoist would give them a chance to boast about that later on. But Yang Feng and the others were soon disappointed to find that no matter how warmly they talked to her, the fairy Taoist was always lukewarm. Although she didn't treat them with arrogance, she absolutely didn't plan to get close to them. When they talked to her, she just answered them politely. However, the
When Xu Xianjian stood up, Wei Nianci's charming eyes curved into a half-moon shape with brilliance and encouragement and her coquettish mouth curled slightly. She was waiting for a good show and desired to stir up trouble. "Brother Xu, why are you standing up?" Lyuluo was shocked by Xu Xianjian's sudden action. She blinked her big eyes in surprise and looked at Xu Xianjian with puzzlement. Xu Xianjian said with a fake smile, "Nothing. The black-robed childe is so cordial that I want to make friends with him." After looking at Wei Nianci and Xu Xianjian, Lyuluo soon understood. Although she was young, she wasn't stupid, otherwise, Wei Nianci couldn't take her out. "Brother Xu, please don't go!" After saying that, she glared at Wei Nianci. Her cousin was very nice, but she thought highly of herself. She liked to see men fight for her and enjoyed it. Therefore, she still didn't want to get married in her twenties. "Sister Wei, pl
Frankly, Wei Nianci was more beautiful than ordinary women. She had a charming appearance and enchanting temperament, so she did appeal to the ordinary men. Usually, there were fewer women than men in Jianghu, which couldn't meet the needs. Therefore, it was not surprising that Wei Nianci was popular for her charm. The person standing in front of her now, however, was Su Emei. A thought came in Wei Nianci's mind as she saw Su Emei's face. "She is as beautiful as Chang'e." Wei Nianci's confidence was shattered and she finally understood that Li Ye naturally wouldn't look at her differently with such a fairy in the front. It was said that the one who had seen the ocean would think nothing of rivers; the one who had seen the splendid clouds in Wushan would never be interested in clouds elsewhere. And now, the sea and Wushan were in the front. Wei Nianci felt helpless. Lyuluo had already sat down. She looked up and pulled Wei Nianc
