While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

However, she didn't ask any further questions and said softly, "This little monk's appearance is not even a fraction as good as that young master's, but his manners are ten times better."

Jiang Sishui agreed wholeheartedly and was about to chime in when she suddenly noticed someone and was completely taken aback.

Zhao Qiying noticed his unusual behavior and turned to look. She saw another group of people riding horses coming from the direction where the two experts had come from.

The group consisted of seven people, four men and three women. The first thing Zhao Qiying noticed was a girl in a lotus-colored gauze dress.

She had an oval face, phoenix eyes, skin as smooth as cream, wrists as white as snow, a neck as delicate as a cicada's, teeth as white as melon seeds, a charming smile, and beautiful, expressive eyes.

Her figure was slender and graceful, her demeanor dignified and elegant. Her full, naturally red lips were slightly pursed, like peeled lychees, fresh, tender, and glistening.

Her long, black hair was smooth and flowing, draped over her vest and gently held in place by a silver ribbon.

Her features still retained a touch of childishness, and at only seventeen or eighteen years old, she already possessed an unparalleled beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in the world.

Most notably, the girl seemed to be shrouded in a light mist, which gave her an ethereal and dreamlike quality, making her seem otherworldly.

Clearly, Jiang Sishui, like her, lost her composure upon seeing this young girl.

However, Zhao Qiying had no time to be jealous at this moment; only one thought occupied her mind—

Such a beauty exists in this world!

At that moment, Zhao Qiying almost thought she had met a celestial being descended to earth!

Not only her, but even the elderly Zhao Tianhao showed a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw it.

Zhao Mengjiao felt even more ashamed of herself. She stared blankly for a while, then subconsciously turned her head away, refusing to meet the gaze of that celestial maiden.

But an overwhelming sense of jealousy welled up inside him.

As for the bodyguards, needless to say.

They had traveled all over the country for many years and had never seen such a stunning beauty.

It can be said that the appearance of the celestial maiden completely refreshed their understanding of the upper limit of beauty.

No wonder so many monarchs in history did things that seem absurd to later generations in order to win a smile from a beautiful woman.

If you met a beauty like that, who wouldn't be mesmerized?

At the same time, the group of seven on the opposite side also became wary upon seeing the caravan.

However, upon seeing the "Zhongyuan Escort Agency" flag, the four men immediately felt relieved.

The three girls exchanged glances, their eyes seemingly conveying a thousand unspoken words.

Seeing the urgency in the celestial maiden's expression, a girl in red beside her whispered, "Miss, there's plenty of time. Please be patient."

Upon hearing this, the celestial maiden suppressed her thoughts, nodded slightly, and rode forward with the others.

As she brushed past the caravan, her gaze swept over everyone, finally lingering briefly on Jiang Sishui and Zhao Qiying, before exchanging a glance with the former.

The moment their eyes met, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck them, and their heartstrings trembled violently.

043 Amidst the strife, we spent the night in the old garden.

The fairy-like girl's ears flushed red, her cheeks burned slightly, and she quickly turned her head away, staring straight ahead as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Sishui's gaze shifted from her to the other four men and two women, especially the girl in red and the girl in green.

Zhao Qiying, who was standing nearby, saw his reaction and quietly nudged Jiang Sishui's waist with the hilt of her sword.

Jiang Sishui snapped out of her daze in pain and saw Zhao Qiying's calm expression. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly reached out to grab Zhao Qiying's soft hand.

Zhao Qiying didn't dodge, letting him grab her, while rolling her eyes at him.

She had a copy of the diary, so she knew Jiang Sishui's philandering ways, and she also knew that she was not the woman he loved most.

Even so, he still chose to be with Jiang Sishui, which meant that she had accepted the future of sharing a husband with another woman.

After all, Jiang Sishui is too special. He is a powerful man destined to reach the peak, so it is perfectly normal for him to have multiple women.

Zhao Qiying was a woman of the martial arts world, her likes and dislikes were driven by her own heart. Since she felt she liked this man, she decided to follow him.

As long as he is interested, she doesn't care about anything else.

With this in mind, Zhao Qiying felt a little sour, but her jealousy wasn't very strong.

Moreover, even she was amazed by that celestial maiden, so losing to such a stunning beauty didn't seem shameful at all.

"No matter what, I was Jiang Ge's first love, and I was one step ahead of all of you."

As Zhao Qiying thought to herself, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

Seeing this, Jiang Sishui thought she was planning to punish him, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Heroes emerge from among the young, and the world bestows its finest talents upon them; truly, a new generation replaces the old."

Zhao Tianhao suddenly sighed, his face showing helplessness and nostalgia.

He had been practicing for many years and was now over fifty years old, yet he was only at the early stage of Grandmaster. The two young men from earlier were only half his age, but they were already no weaker than him.

How could Zhao Tianhao not feel ashamed?

However, he also knew that there were geniuses in the world, and geniuses were usually difficult to measure by common sense.

Therefore, although Zhao Tianhao was somewhat depressed, he did not harbor any deep resentment.

The appearance of that angelic girl amazed Zhao Tianhao even more!

When he was young, his generation also produced countless geniuses and beauties, but the appearance of the celestial maiden still refreshed his understanding of beauty.

For a moment, Zhao Tianhao truly felt old, and that this world no longer belonged to them.

Jiang Sishui and Zhao Qiying exchanged a glance, neither knowing what Zhao Tianhao was thinking.

Back in the carriage, Jiang Sishui felt a little guilty, thinking that Zhao Qiying was going to "settle scores later".

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiying did not mention a word about what had happened before.

This puzzled Jiang Sishui greatly.

Although he didn't understand, he was clearly not so shameless as to cause trouble for no reason, and he was happy with it.

One wave subsides, another rises.

The two returned to the carriage less than an hour later when they suddenly heard shouts of killing.

The sounds of weapons clashing were continuous, and the overwhelming killing intent could be felt even from dozens of feet away.

what happened?

The two got out of the car again and saw a group of people fighting each other in front of them, numbering as many as five or six hundred!

Their martial arts skills weren't particularly high; the strongest among them was only a grandmaster. However, when they fought, their methods were exceptionally ruthless.

Poisoning techniques, hidden weapons, traps, gang attacks... all sorts of random things, all thrown together at once.

After being attacked in turn, even a grandmaster would be severely injured, if not killed.

Zhao Tianhao waved to stop the caravan, his brows furrowed as he looked at the chaotic battlefield before him, where blood splattered and limbs flew everywhere.

Without a doubt, these people are bloodthirsty!

The caravan absolutely cannot go there; it would be disastrous if they got caught up in the fighting. They have no choice but to take a detour.

However, looking at the surrounding terrain, with its high mountains, steep cliffs, and dense forests, not to mention the difficult roads, there are bound to be snakes, insects, and rodents, making it extremely troublesome.

Jiang Sishui saw through his thoughts and smiled, "Chief镖头 Zhao, why don't we wait a bit?"

Zhao Tianhao nodded: "That's the only way."

"How far is Leigu Mountain from here?"

"At the current pace, it will probably take another two or three days."

"Two or three days, that'll be just in time for the 'Zhenlong Chess Tournament,' no rush, no rush."

"Young brother, are you confident that you can solve the 'Precious Chess Puzzle'?"

This question is undoubtedly somewhat taboo and does not conform to the rules of the Central Plains Escort Agency.

In the past, even if Zhao Tianhao was very curious, he would not have asked so directly. But he had seen what happened between Jiang Sishui and Zhao Qiying these past few days and had tacitly agreed to it.

Therefore, in Zhao Tianhao's view, Jiang Sishui was no longer just a customer or an outsider.

When it comes to his daughter's happiness, he also wants to figure out Jiang Sishui's abilities and capabilities.

Jiang Sishui shook her head: "'The Precious Chess Game' has existed for twenty years, and countless chess masters have failed to solve it. I only have a slight understanding of Go, how could I possibly solve it?"

"Then why are you going to Leigushan at this time..."

"I'm going to see a senior figure."

Zhao Tianhao suddenly realized something, and looking at Jiang Sishui's calm and composed expression, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Although Jiang Sishui looked frail, his intuition, honed by years of traveling around the country, told him that this young man was not simple.

This is also one of the reasons why he didn't interfere with Zhao Qiying's romantic choices.

Jiang Sishui looked toward the battlefield.

One after another, vivid human heads flew off, blood gushing from their necks like a fountain.

Arms and legs were severed and flew off the body, accompanied by the owner's painful screams.

Packets of poison powder were sprayed onto the head and face, causing the victims to scratch wildly in pain and itching, and they died shortly afterward.
