The wind blew against the willow trees as the stream flowed. Dawn slowly rose, and the village entrance was filled with people. They were all carrying their precious things. Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing had to reject them for a long time before they could convince the villagers to take them back. The two of them had planned to leave early, but unexpectedly, they met the villagers who came to thank them for their gifts. As the news of the two of them leaving spread, the villagers quickly gathered together to see them off.

The gyrfalcon was also somewhat troubled. Although he was happy with the enthusiasm of the villagers, he was afraid that he couldn't leave if this went on. Moreover, at this time, Tian Jue was still talking to the little girl, the little girl was called Mo Li. Hai Dongqing did not know what the two of them were talking about and did not care. When the villagers saw that the two were about to leave, they hurriedly left, the Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue were not very good at refusing people, so they decided not to be polite anymore and kept walking forward. Tian Jue turned back three times a step, looking at Mo Li with a smile as he waved his hand, he wanted to see, after all, he didn't know when they would see each other again.

Before Tian Jue left, Mo Li gave Tian Jue a red bean. Tian Jue picked a wild flower somewhere and gave it to Mo Li. After walking for a long time, Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing passed through the mountains and rested in the shade of a tree. Tian Jue stared at Red Bean, the corners of his mouth curving upwards.

"What do you think Acacia is?" Tian Jue looked at Hai Dongqing and asked. Hai Dongqing scratched his head. He knew that red beans represented lovesickness, but he did not know what lovesickness was.

"Maybe it's because people who admire each other want to meet, but they can't." When the gyrfalcon saw the look of despise on Tian Jue's face, he immediately explained unwillingly. Tian Jue nodded as if he had thought of something.

Letting either of the two people explain lovesick would be too difficult. The two of them had read a lot of books, but there were many things that could not be understood through writing. Lovesick was one of them.

After leaving the village, Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue travelled for another two days. Although they did not have a fixed goal, they continued to walk along the same path.

The two of them did not calculate the time nor did they calculate the distance. They only felt that they had walked a long way.

The scorching sun was hanging in the vast sky, and the two of them were tired from their journey. They passed by a small forest and saw the shade. Thus, they sat down to rest.

According to the previous route, they could reach a place called Hexi Village before nightfall. Another ten miles would be under the jurisdiction of the Chen family. The Chen family here was on the same level as the Ocean Viewing Sect. Hexi Village was a large village with about a hundred people living there. It was located right at the border between the two territories. This area was not managed by any sect, but they were all commoners, so it would be fine to stay here.

Just as Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue were discussing how to combine the martial arts of the third-rate families, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps. Tian Jue frowned as he pulled out his sword.

Hai Dongqing's injury had not healed, but it did not affect his sword movements. However, it was inevitable that his strength would be greatly reduced. There were three people's footsteps that the two of them heard, and five people's footsteps behind them.

The gyrfalcon signaled Tian Jue to hide in the bushes to observe the situation. Tian Jue was also curious.

"Don't look at me so strangely, I'm injured and shouldn't be impulsive." The gyrfalcon rolled his eyes at Tian Jue before he turned and hid behind the grass.

Actually, logically speaking, the footsteps should be far away, ordinary people or even people with good hearing wouldn't be able to hear it. However, Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue had received their father's teachings, and unless they had strong martial power and deliberately concealed their own people, they would not be able to escape their ears.

Just as the two of them hid, they saw three fifteen to sixteen year olds who were wounded rushing past them. Anxious and fearful expressions hung on their faces, and they looked to be in a sorry state.

The three of them had their own characteristics. One was fat, one was thin, and the other was medium built.

"Sixth brother, hurry up and leave! If you catch us, we're dead for sure!" The skinny young man said to the fat young man anxiously.

"Third brother, fourth brother, I can't move anymore. Let them kill me!" The fat youth was panting from the exhaustion. His forehead was full of sweat, and his robe was completely soaked. He truly couldn't walk anymore, and sat on the ground with his butt down. It seemed as if he wanted to kill him or cut him into pieces.

"You idiot, if you die here, how will your fourth brother and I return to the Chen family to report to our father?" The middle-built teenager was furious as he saw this. He quickly grabbed the fat teenager's collar.

The fat youth saw that the medium height teenager had gotten angry and climbed up with difficulty. At that moment, Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue walked out from the grass.

When the three of them saw Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue, they immediately pulled out their swords and looked at the two of them vigilantly.

"Don't worry, the three of us are disciples of the Ocean Viewing Sect. We are passing through here." Tian Jue cupped his fists as he explained.

"So it's a disciple from a sect. I am from the southwest Chen Clan. I was on duty and was chased by the Devil Dao. I hope you can help me." The medium built young man cupped his fist and bowed.

"Brother Chen, even if you don't say it, we two brothers will not stand by and do nothing. You two hide in the underbrush and leave the rest to the two of us." The three of them did not put on airs when they heard this. They did not care about their status and hid within the thickets of vegetation, keeping their auras low.

Just as the three of them hid, five people dressed like farmers caught up to them. Seeing Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing resting in the shade of a tree, one of them went forward and asked: "Little brother, have you seen the three injured youths?"

"Why do you ask?" The gyrfalcon crossed his legs and held the dogtail grass in his mouth like he knew he wouldn't tell you.

"Those three have done evil deeds, we want to punish them." The farmer that came forward was not angered by the gyrfalcon's neglect, but continued.

This reaction caused Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing to be slightly shocked. This person really did look like an honest person.

"Your excellency, these people are neither the Heavenly Dao nor the laws of the king, how can they have the power to punish others?" The gyrfalcon stood up and frowned as he took off the Sargasso Grass.

"Although we are not part of the Heavenly Dao nor are we part of the law, we are just doing things with our own chivalrous hearts. Since little brother is unwilling to say more, we won't disturb you any longer. " The farmer stood up and left with his people.

Hai Dongqing blankly stared on the spot. He had a strange feeling that he was closer to this farmer.

Watching them leave, Hai Dongqing really wanted to figure out if the Chen Clan's people had really done something so outrageous that it seemed as if they had done so. She turned around to dig through the thickets of grass and grass, only to discover that there were no traces of them.

Tian Jue looked at Hai Dongqing's unsightly expression, unable to make head or tail of it. Could it be that this fellow believed the Devil Dao with just a few words? While thinking, he walked towards the gyrfalcon. When he walked to the front of the grass, his face turned ugly. "The two of them had focused all their energy on the three members of the Chen family. If the Devil Dao was truly a villain who killed people without blinking, then even if the two of them died, it would have nothing to do with them.

"Do you believe the words of the five from the Devil Dao?" Tian Jue frowned as he looked at Hai Dongqing.

"I believe half of it. At the very least, I don't believe these three members of the Chen Clan are good people." The gyrfalcon said nonchalantly as he walked in the direction of Hexi Village.

Tian Jue thought that the three of them did not have any problems with their character and did not deserve to die for the crime. After thinking it through, he followed Hai Dongqing's footsteps. The gyrfalcon was thinking about whether the five demonic path cultivators were telling the truth or not. He thought about the demonic path that everyone was talking about. 'Sigh, why am I thinking so much? There's no way I can hide the truth.' The gyrfalcon thought about it and shook his head, thinking.

The two of them finally arrived at Hexi Village in the evening. The villagers were quite polite to the two of them. The two of them stayed in a hotel. Seeing that the sky was dark, the gyrfalcon wanted to take a look around the village. Since Tian Jue had nothing to do at the hotel, he might as well follow the gyrfalcon out.

The two of them were suddenly attracted by a tavern. There were many people surrounding the tavern, a middle-aged man was kneeling and crying at the tavern's entrance, an old man was criticizing the middle-aged man, and a young woman was sitting beside a corpse covered in white cloth and sobbing. As the others watched, they shook their heads and sighed. A few women walked forward to comfort the young woman.

"Ai, what kind of evil did you do? A good person just disappeared like that." When Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue heard this, they curiously walked forward.

"Excuse me, what happened here?" Tian Jue walked forward and asked, and the woman who had spoken turned her head to look at Tian Jue.

"Ai, the Shen family's tavern is being run well here. Today, three young men from the Chen family have come." After eating, the Shen family's brat was so young that he found people to argue. Unexpectedly, the three of them were so unreasonable that they beat the Shen family's brat up. The son of the Shen family's wife came to help her husband. Unexpectedly, the son of the Shen family could not take their words lying down and directly went forward to fight with the three of them. The Chen Clan was a clan that trained in martial arts, how could he win against them? The Chen Clan's skinny frame of mind easily killed off those from the Shen Clan.

He didn't panic even after killing three people and still wanted to molest his wife. But at this moment, five people saw him injuring three people and the three quickly ran away. Sigh, these five people have good intentions, but the Shen family will probably have to change their surname and leave this place. And this daughter-in-law of the Shen family … " The woman was about to say something when her husband pulled her over and gave her a fierce glare. Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue looked at the man in surprise. The man smiled apologetically.

Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing did not know why the man did not let the woman continue speaking, but they could not force others either. The gyrfalcon walked towards the Shen tavern, intending to help the kneeling middle-aged man. The words the old man had spoken were probably words that the man didn't know how to teach his son.

"Old man, don't grieve. I don't think there's anything wrong with your grandson's actions. I can seek justice for your family." Hai Dongqing looked at the old man and said. Seeing the old man look at him, she cupped her fist and greeted him. Hearing his words, the middle-aged man gasped for breath and looked at the old man.

"All of you, stop messing around. Today, those five people have caused my Shen family to have no place to stay. If the two of you continue messing around, my Shen family might be destroyed by them. This old servant begs you." As the old man spoke, he was about to kneel down for the middle-aged man to support him, but the middle-aged man instead knelt towards Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing. The two of them looked at this scene in astonishment.

It was said that there were tigers in the mountains, and a family that was willing to be bitten to death by tigers was unwilling to come to a place under the jurisdiction of a sect. Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing discovered today that this was not a fable.

The gyrfalcon was confused as he walked towards the tavern as if he was exhausted. He was thinking about why the law enforcement sect did not care about such things, and why this was different from what he had imagined.
