Ding -

The arrow did not hit the Iron Spine Tiger, but it made it realize how powerful it was. It stopped walking and let out another roar.

Ning Yue was shocked. He looked in the direction the arrow came from and saw a human figure standing on a tree branch in the distance. He opened his bow like a full moon and a new arrow was drawn.

"Hey, it's you. Is there anyone else? Come over if you don't want to die."

The man glanced at Ning Yue coldly.

However, Ning Yue naturally wouldn't care about it. He quickly ran over. He felt lucky that he had met a human expert to help him in such a place.

Roar!

At the same time, the Iron Spine Tiger let out another roar and jumped up. The sound of the bowstring vibrating could be heard. A cold light was nailed down and stopped in front of the Devil Beast.

It wasn't that he didn't want to kill the Iron Spine Tiger directly. It was because the Devil Beast's reaction speed was very fast. It could always twist its body and dodge, avoiding a fatal attack.

When he arrived under the tree, Ning Yue looked back with lingering fear. He saw that the Iron Spine Tiger was in a dilemma. It was still hesitating. He was still hesitating if he should continue chasing after them. At the same time, hurried footsteps sounded. He turned his head again and saw more than ten figures rushing over with weapons in their hands.

Seeing this, the Iron Spine Tiger was finally afraid. It turned its head and leaped into the depths of the forest. Unless there was no other choice, the Devil Beast rarely clashed with groups of human experts.

"Forget it. If it wasn't for the mission, I would really like to have a good fight with you, you beast."

The person on the tree finally put down his bow. His gaze fell on Ning Yue and said indifferently, "It's fine. If you want to enter the city, you can come with us. That way, it will be safer."

Ning Yue was about to refuse, but he did not expect another voice to be heard first. It was light and pleasant to hear. It was a woman.

"Liu Wei, what exactly happened?"

It was a girl who was about 16 or 17 years old. Her hair was long and black. Three feet, bright eyes like stars, white teeth like jade, little face with a bit of makeup, pretty snow white, dressed luxuriously and elegantly, with light steps that didn't lose the style of a great family.

So beautiful.

At this moment, Ning Yue was a little lost in his thoughts. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Liu Weier, the junior sister whom he had the most contact with, was as delicate and pretty as a lotus flower. However, she was not as noble and gorgeous as the woman in front of him. Furthermore, Yin from before was pretty and cute, but she was less gentle and elegant.

"Hey, if you dare to look around again, be careful that I will poke your eyes!"

The man who was called Liu Wei took out another Arrow from the quiver and was about to stab it out.

"Liu Wei, don't be rude."

Seeing that, the rich lady quickly stopped him. She bowed slightly towards Ning Yue and said with a smile, "Young master, I'm sorry. I didn't discipline you well. I called you - - - Huh? So cute!"

All of a sudden, her eyes were attracted by the little wolf in Ning Yue's arms. Her eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent shape. She bent over and looked at the furry little guy at a close distance. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but she didn't expect the little wolf to actually open its mouth and scream. It was very resistant.

She hurriedly pressed on the little wolf's head. Ning Yue was a little embarrassed. "This child is afraid of giving birth, so..."

"I understand. It's always like this."

The young lady nodded and smiled. Then, she asked, "You must have picked this up or captured it in the woods. Why don't you sell it to me? The price is negotiable."

"This..." Ning Yue was stunned. He shook his head. "I'm sorry, I don't want to sell it."

"Hey, what do you mean by this? My lady wants to buy your..."

Suddenly, the lady frowned and shouted, "Liu Wei, why don't you say something else?"

The expression on her face showed that she was not angry at all.

"Why don't you sell it? I can definitely offer a price that you're satisfied with." Then, her tone quickly became gentle again, as if she was a completely different person from before.

"This child is very pitiful. He lost his parents, so... he seems to be more against you, so..." Ning Yue did not know why, perhaps it was because they shared the same illness, or perhaps it was really because Little Wolf was not satisfied with this beautiful young lady in front of him.

"Hehe, it might fall in love with me after a little more contact. How about this, you should also be going into the city. Take my car. " Along the way, let me tease this little fellow, and it can also be considered as relieving boredom, how about it? " The Eldest Miss smiled slightly, and her expression was utterly impossible to refuse.

Of course, Liu Wei, who was standing at the side, wanted to stop her. However, he was forced back by a look.

Half an hour later, Ning Yue was flattered and sat in the luxurious carriage. Other than him and the young lady, there was only a maid serving him. The delicate desserts and tea on the table could be taken at will. He didn't even dare to think about such treatment before.

However, what made him more concerned was the many weapons placed on the shelves in the carriage. Although they were not unsheathed, they were definitely not ordinary weapons judging from the patterns on the surface.

In fact, he had already guessed that this beautiful and elegant young lady from a wealthy family was also a martial arts expert.

Otherwise, Ning Yue would not believe that the young lady who brought such a powerful guard would be able to let a stranger into the carriage without being aware of the world's affairs.

She did not pay attention to Ning Yue's gaze. The young lady had been teasing the little wolf that was curled up at the side, but she found that it was completely indifferent. Sometimes, she touched it too much, and even bared her teeth.

"Sigh, it seems like I'm not charming enough."

She sighed helplessly. She was a little disappointed, and her attention finally returned to Ning Yue.

"By the way, I am Yuan Jingsi. What is your name?"

"Ning Yue."

The moment the words left his mouth, Ning Yue regretted saying his real name. If the other party had seen the wanted poster, he would be like a turtle in a jar. There was no way he could deal with the guards outside.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Jingsi did not seem to know. She nodded and said, "Not a bad name."

He did not know if he was bewitched by her naivety or beauty. Ning Yue asked in a strange manner. "Well, isn't Miss Yuan afraid that I'm a bad person?"

"Bad person? What kind of bad person can you be? Are you a member of the Red Wolf?" Yuan Jingsi teased, but Ning Yue was shocked once again.

Red Wolf?

He had heard of this name before. The Snow Dragon Empire itself was not peaceful. Five years ago, when the war was about to subside, the new emperor ascended to the throne, but there were still many dissatisfied voices. Not long later, a brand new assassination organization showed its edge. They charged money and killed people. They never failed. They even dared to attack the nobles of the empire.

Many members of the Red Wolf had been on the wanted list for more than four years. They were notorious, but they had never been captured or killed. Their names made the people of Snow Dragon Empire panic, and their expressions changed drastically.

Ning Yue was a little surprised. Why did Yuan Jingsi mention the Red Wolf?

When he arrived at his destination in the afternoon, he felt relieved. Yuan Jingsi's home was actually the City Lord Mansion?

Moreover, this city was not ordinary. It was definitely not comparable to Desolate Mountain City. Tai Star City was located within the borders of Snow Dragon Empire. It was one of the trading hub connecting the borders to the vassal kingdoms.

At this moment, Ning Yue finally understood why Yuan Jingsi could have such guards to travel with her. The real big and small families lived up to their name.

According to the rumors, the Red Wolf was an assassin organization that liked to find powerful people to kill. The City Lord Mansion in Tai Xing City was indeed a good target for them.

"How is it? My family is not bad, right?" Yuan Jingsi giggled and beckoned for a maid to come over.

"Ning Yue, you can stay here for the rest of the day. If you need anything, just tell me."

"This isn't good, is it?"

Ning Yue was even more shocked. Could it be that this rich young lady in front of him was so ignorant of worldly affairs that she didn't take any precautions against him?

However, there was another thing that puzzled him. When he entered the City Lord Mansion, there were some guards or servants who were sizing him up. However, they didn't seem to be curious, as if they had already gotten used to it.

"There's nothing bad about it. I have plenty of guest rooms at home. Moreover, I want to spend more time with this little fellow. Perhaps it will accept me."

Yuan Jingsi giggled and once again reached out her hand to touch the little wolf in Ning Yue's arms. However, the latter did not appreciate it at all and was very conflicted. She grinned and kept roaring, as if she was warning the enemy.

"Thank you very much."

Ning Yue cupped his hands and bowed. If he stayed in the City Lord Mansion, he would indeed be safer. Tai Xing City was quite far away from the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion. However, if there were any disciples carrying out missions, they would occasionally come here.

As for the dangers that might exist within the city, there shouldn't be any at the moment. When he entered the city, he looked through the window and looked at the bulletin board at the city gate. He did not see his own portrait. He also heard from Yuan Jingsi that the arrest warrant for a reward of fifty thousand and below would not be released in Tai Xing City.

As long as the City Lord Mansion did not investigate his background, he should be fine.

After saying goodbye to Yuan Jingsi and following the maid to the guest room, Ning Yue felt as if his heart had suddenly become empty. Especially when Yuan Jingsi said that she wanted to stay with him because of the wolf cub, he still felt a bit disappointed. Thinking of this, her cheeks felt a bit hot and she unconsciously recalled the smile of that young lady.

It was really, really beautiful.

The maid who led the way did not notice the change in Ning Yue's expression. She said casually, "Every time the big miss comes back, she will take in some people. Consider yourself lucky. I just don't know how long it will be this time."

"Who would dare to keep those who receive favors?" Ning Yue came back to his senses.

The servant girl replied softly, almost inaudible, "This, perhaps it is not what you say..."

The next few days could be considered the most leisurely days in Ning Yue's memory. Although he did not have a special maid to serve him, he did not need to worry about food and clothing. His treatment was several times better than in the sect. He could not help but sigh that rich people knew how to enjoy themselves.

However, enjoyment was enjoyment, and cultivation didn't fall behind. It was his habit to train in the morning for many years, and it was cold and hot without hindrance. Since he was eight years old, he had been holding his sword. Every day, he would swing his sword a hundred times. After another three hundred strikes, the last five hundred strikes, the habit of not moving at all, this number also stopped Ning Yue from thinking too much.

Right now, he was also brandishing his sword for the same reason. However, for some unknown reason, it was already the seventh hundred strikes. A beautiful figure was still lingering in his mind. These days, he had always thought of her. Although he could actually see her all the time.

Noble and elegant, beautiful and generous. Ning Yue had never seen such a moving woman before. He even had some desire to see Yuan Jingsi looking for him every day. It wasn't because of the wolf cub. It's him.

His heart was beating rapidly as he thought of those things. His face was burning. He clenched his teeth and swung his sword. A small tree not far away instantly cut off a branch.

"Hu, no, I can't be delusional like this. How can I..."

Ning Yue shook his head with all his strength. He reached into his robe and grabbed a scroll.

He was afraid that this was the only thing he could focus his attention on.

Spirit rank martial art, Sword Nippy Wind.
