After all that had happened in the Phoenix Bamboo Town, the Divine Operator Department had made a windfall. Every morning at dawn, there would be a long line of people waiting for the opening of the dojo and asking the old Taoist for his approval. Naturally, Li Jiantong was extremely busy. His business was booming, and every time he calculated his debts, it would always be until midnight.

Ever since she had become sensible, she had always been tired of her father's actions. She felt that she was also very evil and had become his accomplice, so she secretly resolved to leave her father, to leave this family, to roam the world in the future, always doing good deeds, and atone for her father's sins.

In the middle of the night, when Li Xian'er heard the sound of snoring, she took out her bundle from the cupboard, felt the darkness, and tiptoed towards the main entrance. Just as her hand touched the door latch, she was startled by a voice from behind her.

"Xian'Er, it's so late. Where are you going?"

Xian`er trembled as she slowly turned around and saw her father standing behind her with a candle in his hand. The face looked even more grim and terrible in the flickering candlelight.

"Dad, it's so late already. Why are you still not sleeping?" Xian'Er timidly asked.

"Dad would like to ask you this. Why aren't you sleeping at such a late hour? Where are you going?"

Seeing that her tracks had been seen through, Xian'er threw her bundle on the ground and sat down angrily.

"I want to leave!"

"Where to?"

"I don't know where to go, but I just need to leave this place."

"You can eat and drink this, can't you? What do you have to do? "

"Father." At this moment, Xian'er's eyes flickered with tears, "It's been so many years. You've done so many bad things, can you still sleep at night? Are you so at ease? "

"Didn't father do all this to earn more money to support you and the family? Don't you understand Dad? "

"Do you still think I'm a child to be fooled?" Xian'er wiped her tears and continued, "You used to say that those you killed were all bad people and all of them should die. But this time, she's already so pitiful. Why don't you let her go?" Back then, the county governor had ordered that no gambling, fortune-telling, or making mistakes in Haidu County. He had ordered the two of us to run around and not be able to live peacefully, to starve to death. I don't want to live like this any longer. "

"You really want to leave?"

"Yes." Li Xian'er said as she dried her eyes.

He had lost his wife and his body was crippled, so he could not afford to lose his daughter again. After he heard this, he contemplated for a moment before replying, "Fine, it seems that my daughter has grown up and understands a lot. My daughter, what you said is reasonable, your father promises you that he won't continue on with the job. I'm prepared to leave with you in a few days."

Xian'er had never expected that Li Jun would reply her in such a manner.

"Really, Father? "Are you really going to go with me and never do this again?" She jumped up from her chair.

"Yeah, why would dad lie to you?" He gently caressed Xian'er's head and pulled her into his embrace, but in his heart, he had his own plans. Indeed, it had been a bit too noisy during this period of time. If the Withering Moon Palace really did come looking for him, especially for the shadow ghost, the Yin Yang mirror alone would not be able to do anything to him.

"Ah, Xian'er, my good Xian'er, this time father will listen to everything you say. In two days father will take care of this shop, and we'll go far away, okay?"

"Wow, wow, wow!" Dad, you're so nice. If only we had done this earlier, there wouldn't have been so many innocent people dying. Father, you must promise me, once I find a place to stay, I will give these people who have died in vain more money, alright? "

"Good — good — good — Father will do as you say."

Li Jun lightly patted her chest as she inwardly laughed: "This girl is too kind-hearted, she is too gullible."

Xian`er smiled innocently, burying her head deeply into his embrace like a spoiled child.

The moon rose even higher. The bright moonlight shone down on the town, on the rivers and the mountains.

At this moment, there were two night travelers wearing black cloaks as they hurried through the forest. The mottled shadows of the moon were reflected on their bodies. The bugs in the mountain were chirping as if they were guiding them.

Suddenly, a dozen or so figures jumped out from the forest and surrounded the two. From their figures, these people were tall and sturdy. The sabers in their hands emitted a cold light under the moonlight.

One of the bearded man pointed his sword at the two of them and shouted: "Who are you? He actually dares to barge into our Hurricane Stronghold's territory and tactfully hand over five taels of silver. No, ten … "I'll let you two off for ten silver taels. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Sister Bing, it seems like we've encountered bandits." One of the men in black casually said.

"Humph!" The other man in black raised his eyebrows, his eyes emitting a light even colder than the blade. He said with disdain, "If you don't want to die, then hurry up and get lost. If you continue to be conflicted, then you will die without a complete corpse!"

"Hahahaha …" The bearded man laughed maniacally towards the sky, "So it is these two girls. What arrogant words. I would like to see what it means to die without a complete corpse. Brothers, attack!"

Just as he finished his sentence, a cold light flashed and the bearded man's body flew towards the east and west.

This sudden change of events left the group of bandits dumbstruck.

"Quick, run!" As soon as they heard the sound of mourning, the bandits immediately fled into the depths of the forest.

"Hmph, you actually dare to rob someone with such little ability?"

"Isn't that because you, Sister Bing, have a strong martial arts style? How many people in Wu Lin can be your opponent today?"

"Good, since we have arrived at the Hurricane Stronghold, I would like to see what kind of capable people there are."

The two of them were ordered to track down the location of the Yin Yang mirror. This place was still sixty miles away from the town of Phoenix Bamboo Town.

The two of them walked up the mountain road again. Suddenly, they felt something in the air beneath their feet. They fell into the deep pit, followed by a large net falling from the sky, covering them. If it was just a deep pit or a large net, it wouldn't be able to trap the two of them. Right now, the two of them were completely exhausted and had fallen asleep.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Si'er gradually woke up and realized that his body was firmly bound and unable to move. He looked around and saw a strong man sitting in the middle of the hall, with a fierce-looking face, an eagle-like nose, and a beard like a halberd. He had an evil grin on his face as he stared at him.

The bandit leader's name was Qiu Ba, and he stared at Lin in a daze, raising his neck to drink all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, with an evil smile on his face. He walked in front of Lin Yi'er, staring at him with wide eyes, and smacked his lips from time to time.

Lin Zhu'er asked, "Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Is there dirt on my face? "

"You little girl, you're quite pretty. You have tender skin and tender flesh, with a white and red luster. Hmm …" "It's just that my chest is a bit flat." With that, Qiu Ba turned to Leng RuBing and said, "This girl, she can have breasts, but she's not dressed like a girl."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu'er secretly laughed in his heart. Firstly, he felt that this bandit leader really treated him as a girl. Secondly, if it wasn't for the fact that Leng Ruice was still unconscious, hearing someone say so, she would definitely have whipped that person into half.

Lin Si'er's kung fu was not as cold as ice. The hemp rope could not trap him, but he was not in a hurry to escape. He still wanted to observe what the bandit boss was going to do next.

"Old bandit leader, I advise you to stay away from that woman." Lin Zhu'er said with a smile.

Hearing Lin Mu'er's words, Qiu Ba moved closer to him and observed Leng RuBing carefully.

"That's right, Eighth Lord. This little girl is really malicious. She was too ruthless in her methods. Lai San'er was whipped by this evil woman who was half male and half female." The one who said this was one of the bandits who cried in the forest.

"Oh? Was this woman really that amazing? I would like to see how powerful a woman with her arms and legs tied up is. Bring her weapon here! "

The subordinate hurriedly passed the ice-cold whip to Qiu Ba. Qiu Ba looked carefully at the whip in his hand and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. If the whip that was full of sharp barbs were to land on his body … Thinking up to here, Qiu Ba couldn't help but shiver in fear. This woman's methods are so ruthless, but I can't even compare to her.

Seeing that she had woken up, he waved the whip in his hand in front of her eyes and smiled sinisterly, "Hehehe …" Witch, I heard that you're pretty skilled. You used this thing to smash my brother into pieces. Alright then, it's really your turn. Today, it's your turn to taste the taste of this whip. "Heeheehee …"

When she woke up and realized that she was being controlled, she was already flustered. When she saw that this fellow was not only holding onto her weapon, but was even insulting her with his words, she could not contain her anger. Her cold gaze shot towards Qiu Ba as she coldly said the two words, "You're courting death!"

"Alright, you're still being stubborn even when you're about to die. I'll slap your woman to death. Let's see if you still dare to spout nonsense." Qiu Ba raised his whip and lashed it towards Leng Ruice.
