Inside Hengshan City.

In early summer, the city of Hengshan is warm and inviting, with pedestrians coming and going in a bustling atmosphere, offering a unique charm compared to Fuzhou.

Upon entering the city, Qian Chen and his party dismounted.

Heading north from Fuzhou, although there were rest stops along the way, the arduous journey of the past few days had inevitably left everyone exhausted.

The accompanying镖头 (bodyguard/escort) was a seasoned veteran, with extensive experience in serving the needs of dignitaries.

He first arranged for burly guards to lead the way, so as not to run into any fools who might cause trouble.

Without Qian Chen needing to tell her anything, she proactively inquired about the place to go. "Young master, the Huiyanlou Restaurant in the area is the most famous. Its wine and meat are the best in Hengyang. Why don't you stop by for a rest?"

Lin Pingzhi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. He came from a wealthy family and rarely had the experience of traveling at such a high speed, so his body really couldn't take it.

Even though he had recently begun practicing the Nine Yin Manual's internal energy cultivation method taught by Qian Chen, the exertion of the past few days had inevitably left him feeling mentally and physically exhausted. He hurriedly replied, "Brother, Chief Escort Wang has been escorting goods for many years and is very experienced and reliable. Since he says Huiyan Tower is famous, then staying here must be a good choice..."

Qian Chen chuckled softly, "Alright, let's go take a look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Escort Wang took the initiative to lead the way, and the group followed. Before long, they smelled the aroma of caramel, soy sauce, and cooked meat.

Following the scent, I looked around.

The eldest brother stood in a restaurant on the street.

The golden signboard reads "Huiyanlou" in three large characters.

The signboard was clearly quite old, blackened by years of smoke, but the three gilded characters gleamed and shone brightly.

The enticing aroma of meat and wine wafted out of the restaurant.

The sounds of cooks using knives and spoons and waiters shouting filled the air.

It was truly a lively scene!

The group looked travel-worn and clearly came from afar. The waiter, quick to notice, saw that Qian Chen and Lin Pingzhi, who were at the head of the group, were both dressed in fine clothes and knew they must be young masters from wealthy families, so he warmly greeted them.

"Oh, sir, please come in!"

Wang, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), skillfully instructed the waiter to prepare a fine private room, and then ordered all the signature dishes and wines of Huiyanlou. He also ordered vegetarian food for Yilin, and then made sure to arrange several tables of meat dishes for the accompanying bodyguards to eat and drink.

After they were seated, Yue Lingshan blushed and whispered in Qian Chen's ear, "Young Master, Junior Sister Yilin has had a long and tiring journey and is covered in dust. How about we book two rooms first? And ask the innkeeper to prepare hot water so she can change her clothes."

Qian Chen was slightly taken aback before realizing what was happening.

This is not referring to Yilin at all;

She was clearly talking about herself!

It's been soaking wet the whole way, so I definitely need to change!

"Alright, it's not convenient for Chief Escort Wang to handle this. You take Master Yilin with you and make the arrangements yourself!"

"Alright!" Yue Lingshan immediately stood up and called out to Yilin, "Junior Sister Yilin, come with me quickly."

The two little girls held hands and skipped away from the Accord.

Before long, all the food and drinks were served.

Wang Biaotou took the initiative to step forward and introduce the various dishes, reciting each one as if he knew them by heart, clearly having mastered them by heart.

Moreover, having worked as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) for many years, he was naturally well-informed and knowledgeable. With镖头 Wang (head镖师 Wang) by his side, he could easily recount all sorts of interesting anecdotes.

Indeed, the workplace never tolerates idlers!

If Chief Escort Wang doesn't improve, who can?

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Lin Pingzhi was pestering Wang Biaotou to tell him a few more interesting stories from his escort missions when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the elegant pavilion.

Then they heard the waiter's repeated dissuasion from outside the door: "We have a distinguished guest upstairs! Sir, sir, you mustn't..."

boom---

next moment.

The door of the Accord was violently kicked open.

Look closely.

The person who kicked the door was a middle-aged Taoist priest in a Taoist robe. After kicking the door open, he stepped aside and bowed to a figure slowly walking upstairs, saying, "Uncle-Master Tiansong, I saw with my own eyes that the junior sister of Hengshan Sect was taken into the pavilion by these people."

Qian Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old Taoist priest with his hair tied in a bun and three long strands of beard standing on the stairs.

At first glance, he does have a somewhat otherworldly air about him; however, his prominent brow bone and the hidden aggression in his eyes suggest that he is definitely a person with a stubborn personality.

Wang, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), glanced over and recognized the newcomer, exclaiming in surprise, "Master Tiansong?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, and Wang Biaotou immediately understood and took the initiative to explain: "Young Master, if I am not mistaken, this person should be Daoist Tiansong of the Taishan Sect, the junior brother of Daoist Tianmen, the head of the Taishan Sect."

At this moment, Daoist Tiansong, holding a long sword, slowly walked to the door and stood there. He looked around but did not see the expected little nun. He frowned immediately.

"Baicheng, where's the person you mentioned? Where did he go?"

Chi Baicheng hurriedly peeked out, his face instantly turning pale, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He kept muttering to himself, "Impossible! I clearly saw them take a little nun upstairs! How could she not be in the room?"

He lowered his head, looking somewhat flustered. Seeing the furrowed brows of Daoist Tiansong, he blurted out in his haste:

"They are surely in cahoots with that lecherous scoundrel Tian Boguang. That junior sister from the Hengshan Sect has probably already met with misfortune!"

As soon as those words were spoken...

Lin Pingzhi, who had been watching the show with amusement, could no longer sit still!

A hot-blooded teenager in his early teens, with high aspirations, how could he tolerate being slandered so blatantly?

boom---

Lin Pingzhi slammed his fist on the table and stood up, pointing at Chi Baicheng and shouting, "You're talking nonsense! My Fuwei Escort Agency has always acted with integrity and upright conduct. How could we possibly be in cahoots with a lecherous scoundrel like Tian Boguang?"

"You've unjustly accused my Fuwei Escort Agency. If you don't give us an explanation today, well... my Fuwei Escort Agency isn't made of clay!"

Before he could finish speaking, Daoist Tiansong was startled.

He stepped forward, his eyes wide with anger, his three long whiskers bristling, and he shouted, "What? You're from the Fuwei Escort Agency? No wonder you're so arrogant!"

Zheng———

Daoist Tiansong drew his longsword and declared righteously, "You demonic cultists have wreaked havoc on the martial world; everyone has the right to kill you!"

"Now that I, Tian Song, have witnessed this, I shall vanquish the demons and uphold justice today. You demonic scoundrels, prepare to die! Take my sword first!"

Lin Pingzhi was so angry his face trembled. "You call me arrogant? Drawing your sword at the slightest disagreement? I think you're the one who's too arrogant!"

"Fine, then! You really think I'm afraid of you?"

With a furious shout, Lin Pingzhi leaped into the air.

The two figures, one old and one young, instantly intertwined!

The master of Tianmen and Tiansong of the Taishan Sect was tragically killed by a female elder of a demonic sect, so the two brothers hate the Sun Moon Demonic Sect and its followers to the bone.

Now that he has heard that the Fuwei Escort Agency has colluded with the Sun Moon Demonic Sect, it is understandable that Daoist Tiansong has taken this action.

Qian Chen watched the show with a smile. After a moment's thought, he figured out the key to the matter: it must be Yu Canghai who was behind it all, framing Fuwei Escort Agency for colluding with the Sun Moon Demonic Sect.

He didn't have a good impression of the Taishan Sect's blockheads, so he wasn't in a hurry to clear up the misunderstanding. He thought it would be a good opportunity for Lin Pingzhi to practice against Tiansong Daoist and gain more experience in fighting enemies.

At this moment.

What Qian Chen cared about more was—

Now that the Taishan Sect has arrived, the Huashan Sect should be here too, right? When will my Zixia Divine Skill be delivered to their door?
