Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 74 Eating melons is risky

As the night deepened, although Ruijiang Prefecture did not have a curfew, most people went to the flower boats on the riverside at night, so the inn was deserted, in stark contrast to the bustling scene on the other side.

Yun Yi looked at the moon in the sky. It was big and white, but if he looked at it too much, he would think of Ling Yun's sword, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

So he closed the window and pretended not to notice the men in black who were gradually surrounding the place outside.

Song Xinci said, "Quite a few people came, among them there is a warrior at the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and the rest are at the Qi Refining Realm."

"You seem to think of me as a small fry."

"No, the trash is still inferior to you."

Yun Yi took out the peanuts and candied fruits that he had prepared in advance, grabbed a handful and ate them happily.

He moved his ears slightly, and the noise downstairs came clearly to his ears. First, someone shouted angrily, and then the clanging sounds of fighting continued.

Song Xinci asked curiously, "Did you prepare this specifically for the show?"

"Of course."

"But you can't see what's happening down there, so you can only imagine."

"How about you give me a brief account?"

Song Xinci took a look at the candied plums, and Yun Yi immediately handed it over.

She wasn't going to take advantage of him, so she explained, "The leader of the assassins wields two short knives, and his stance bears some resemblance to the Devil Sect's Tiancan Sect. Well, he's probably an outer sect disciple. His moves are too slow and not ruthless enough."

"That eunuch was wielding a long whip, which transformed into a white snake when wielded. He must have been transformed from a demonic beast. This is quite interesting, to think of using a demonic beast as a weapon. Although the Great Xia Dynasty's cultivation isn't very good, they are quite good at dealing with these evil and unorthodox practices."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Where is the monk?"

"It's not downstairs, most likely hidden in a room. Tsk, the eunuch was a little slow with this move, and he's probably going to suffer."

Before she knew it, Song Xinci also started eating peanuts. While distractedly "watching" what was happening downstairs, she picked out some key points to tell Yun Yi.

Yun Yi had a smile on his face, which was slightly reddened by the candlelight in the room.

In his previous life, he and Song Xinci had been together for many years, but this scene had never occurred to them. Initially, the two of them were so different, it was natural for them to get along awkwardly, and neither of them was willing to make the first move, so for a long time they could only go in circles.

The most fatal point is that as Song Xinci achieved the state of "forgetting emotions" in harmony with the Dao, his own emotions became increasingly indifferent.

It's not as vivid as it is now.

Song Xinci opened up and continued to talk non-stop, "Those two daggers also have a secret. They can be used together. It's a pity that the man didn't learn the skills well, otherwise that move should have killed the eunuch.

That eunuch also has a trump card. He actually has a talisman from the Zhengqi Sect in his hand. Let me see what this talisman is... Hmm, it's a thunder-controlling talisman."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunder was heard downstairs.

Yun Yi smiled and said, "I heard it."

Song Xinci was about to reach out to grab the peanuts again, but was stopped by Yun Yi.

She was about to curse when she saw Yun Yi put a handful of peeled peanuts into her palm.

Song Xinci: "There's no saliva on this, right?"

Yun Yi said: "It's all hand-peeled, you can eat it if you want."

The candlelight flickered. Song Xinci pretended to eat a pill casually, chewed it carefully, and deliberately turned her head away from him.

She said, "The assassins are currently unable to deal with the eunuchs, so they've started to arrange for their men to search the inn."

Yun Yi also heard footsteps coming up the stairs: "Here they come." The next moment, he heard screams from all around, but no one asked for help. It seemed that this group of assassins still had some conscience and did not kill anyone they saw.

However, the house where Yun Yi was staying was restricted by Song Xinci in advance. The wooden door was as hard as iron and could not be opened even after being kicked several times. It also caused pain to the person outside the door.

So a dozen men in black determined that the monk was hiding in this room, and quickly gathered around, as if preparing to break in.

"Just eat and drink in peace." Yun Yi hadn't expected that while he was eating a melon, he would actually bring the flames of war to himself. He could only stand up, pick up the Fangyuan sword, and walk towards the door.

Song Xinci did not stop him and continued to look like she was enjoying the show. She thought that now that Yun Yi was forced to join the game, the show seemed to be even more exciting.

squeak~
As the door opened, the men in black gathered outside almost rushed in, but were all knocked away by Yun Yi's sword.

The assassins and eunuchs who were using daggers downstairs saw the men in black falling from a high place one after another, and the scattered bodies were a very beautiful sight. For a moment, they all stopped.

Yun Yi stood on the second floor, carrying the Fangyuan sword on his shoulder, looking down with interest and said with a smile: "If you don't follow the rules, you will suffer."

The assassin was the first to ask, "Where are you from?"

"I'm just a spectator."

"Hmph, since you are unwilling to speak directly... take action!" The assassin waved his hand to give an order, and then fought with the eunuch again.

The two Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivators engaged in a fierce clash, the flashes of swords and whips a spectacle. Their power was also extraordinary, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to tear the inn into pieces.

Yun Yi watched the show distractedly while fighting off the black-clad men who were as annoying as flies.

Although they were all in the Qi Refining Realm, most of them were warriors, and the spells cast by the few who did were not very powerful and were broken by Yun Yi with a casual sword.

It must be said that both the righteous and demonic sects are essentially devoted to spiritual cultivation, relying on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Meanwhile, most ordinary people cultivate through martial arts, and once a fight breaks out, they discover that, with the same level of cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm, the martial artist is indeed... less capable.

Of course, there is also the reason that Yun Yi is too abnormal. His Qi Refining Realm was first tempered through the Asking for the Way Stone Steps, and he honed his body with the Sword Sharpening Sutra every day. His mind was also strengthened by the Fuyao Dao Fruit. I am afraid that looking at the world of cultivation, there are not many cultivators of the same realm with a more solid foundation than him.

Seeing the swordsman holding the big iron sheet repel all the men in black, the double-knife assassin became very anxious and his moves became a little flustered.

The next moment, the eunuch's silver snake whip took advantage of the opportunity and bit the assassin's wrist.

poisonous!

The double-knife assassin quickly retreated, not caring about anything else and directly cut off the injured wrist, then put it in his arms and turned to run.

As long as there is life, there is hope. A broken wrist can be reattached, but if you lose your life, there is no hope.

The eunuch, with a pale face and no beard, looked unrecognizable for his age. After watching the assassin leave, he looked up at Yun Yi and said in a cold voice, "My name is Cui Wuming. Thank you for your help."

Yun Yi said, "I'm afraid this wave of assassinations is just a test. The more deadly ones are yet to come."

"Indeed, if you are timid, it would be better for you to leave early to avoid being caught up in a life-or-death crisis from which it would be difficult to escape."

"You have good intentions, but it's a pity that your warning came a little too late. I was forced to help you, and those people have already regarded me as your accomplice."

Cui Wuming suddenly smiled and said, "Indeed, I will reward you handsomely after the task is completed."

"How can I thank you?"

"I heard you were looking for ways to get to Crescent City. I can give you a ride."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Are you sure you are the one sending me off, not me escorting you?"

Cui Wuming did not answer. He suddenly held his breath and looked through the tattered door of the inn at the darkness outside.
