The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

Although the Flower Guest was well hidden, Wang Jiuling still noticed something was wrong.

First, there are the weapons.

The Flower Guest used a long whip, which required space to operate. In the cramped environment of the room, he was able to easily deal with Wang Jiuling's Quanzhen swordsmanship.

They seem evenly matched, but that's the most terrifying part.

Secondly, after they went outside, the space was clearly more open, which should have been advantageous to the Flower Guest, but that guy deliberately abandoned the whip and switched to palm strikes.

Finally, there was that palm strike. Although Hua Jianke tried his best to hide it, his incredibly powerful internal energy still revealed the strength of his martial arts.

All things considered, he is probably at least a first-rate master in the martial arts world, far surpassing Wang Jiuling.

But to outsiders, he seemed to be evenly matched with Wang Jiuling.

Only Wang Jiuling knew that the other party had gone to great lengths to avoid a confrontation.

Wang Jiuling was shocked, but also couldn't understand it at all.

How could such a master be among these lowly bandits? Are masters like this already commonplace in the martial arts world?

impossible.

Furthermore, why would he release water? It doesn't make sense.

Wang Jiuling temporarily pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked at the Li family, shook his head inwardly, and then spoke.

"Sir, this matter was due to my oversight! I never imagined that lecherous thief's martial arts skills were so high!"

"Very well! I, this humble Taoist priest, will arrange for the wealthy family to stay at the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain for the time being, to avoid retaliation from the thieves. I will take care of everything!"

Yang Guo turned his head. "Master! We..." Wang Jiuling raised his hand to interrupt him.

"The Quanzhen School is a reputable and righteous sect. They are expected to take responsibility and see things through to the end. It's unacceptable to simply abandon them now!"

"Yang Guo, I will stay here to prevent the bandits from returning. You must quickly return to the mountain and report this matter!"

After hearing Wang Jiuling's words, Master Li finally felt a little better.

He dared not offend the thieves, but he also dared not offend the Quanzhen Sect. Although they had caused trouble, they were willing to take responsibility, so he could not hold a grudge.

"The Taoist priest is truly wise and understanding!"

Wang Jiuling smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, and simply told Yang Guo to hurry back.

He did this not only because he felt he had to take full responsibility for what he was in charge of, but also because he realized that this matter was not simple and was probably beyond what he and Yang Guo could handle on their own.

We still need to inform the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

Wang Jiuling was told to go and rest.

That night, the lights in the Li family's house remained on all night. Knowing that Master Li was afraid, Wang Jiuling simply stayed with the family until dawn.

"Master! It's not that I don't love my daughter! It's just that you saw the lecherous thief's martial arts skills this time! We are just ordinary people. If we offend him, what will happen in the future..."

Master Li looked at his daughter with guilt, while Wang Jiuling listened quietly without expression.

Wang Jiuling did not comment on whether the "trolley problem" was right or wrong.

"Sir, there's no need to worry. I came down the mountain today to deal with this matter. Since the Quanzhen School has chosen to take action, we will naturally take full responsibility!"

Master Li hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

"If you can save my entire family, I will personally deliver next year's offerings to the Quanzhen Sect!"

Miss Li then poured tea and served snacks to Wang Jiuling.

Anyone could see she was in a good mood. After all, even though she had willingly submitted to the thieves, she might be saved. Who would want to do that?

At this moment, looking at Wang Jiuling's handsome face, she blushed slightly.

In this way, Wang Jiuling used his connections and brought out his backing from Quanzhen, finally managing to appease the family.

While drinking tea, Wang Jiuling took out a sword tassel.

He discovered this when he returned to Miss Li's boudoir to look for clues.

It must have been during the fight that the Flower Guest accidentally fell down.

The sword tassel was black and exquisitely crafted, so Wang Jiuling put it away.

Wang Jiuling felt that the sword tassel looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

The next morning, Yang Guo finally arrived with the Quanzhen Sect members.

Surprisingly, it was Ma Yu and Wang Chuyi who arrived.

When Yang Guo returned and told them, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were startled, fearing that something might have happened to Wang Jiuling. So Ma Yu and Wang Chuyi, who were anxious about their beloved disciple, came directly to the scene.

Seeing that Wang Jiuling was alright, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good disciple! I'm so glad you're alright! After hearing what Yang Guo said, I thought you were in danger!"

Wang Chuyi looked at Yang Guo hiding behind him and couldn't help but laugh.

"Master, Headmaster, I'm fine! It's just that the Li family probably can't stay here for the time being!"

Wang Jiuling gestured to the Li family, and Ma Yu nodded.

"Just leave it there! The Quanzhen Sect has plenty of guest rooms!"

Ma Yu told Wang Jiuling to relax, and then he and Wang Chuyi went to see Master Li.

Yang Guo leaned closer.

"Master! I'm so worried about you. What if that thief comes back while I'm gone?"

Wang Jiuling smiled and nodded.

"At least you have a conscience; you know it's good for your teacher!"

At this moment, Yang Guo spoke in a mysterious, low voice.

"Master! You were a hero saving a damsel in distress last night, and that Miss Li has been staring at you the whole time! Do you want to... ouch!"

Before Yang Guo could finish speaking, Wang Jiuling slapped him on the back of the head.

"As a monk, my aspirations lie elsewhere."

Yang Guo covered the back of his head and dodged away, muttering under his breath:

"Tch! Keep pretending! I saw that purse you've been hiding a long time ago, it was clearly..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Wang Jiuling squinted and turned around, and Yang Guo quickly shut up.

"It's nothing!"

Seeing Yang Guo like this, Wang Jiuling couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"You're always all talk and no action, kid. Let me warn you, stop messing around with young girls! If you don't like someone, don't go looking for trouble!"

Yang Guo didn't know what Wang Jiuling meant, so he nodded with a smirk.

At this time, the Li family was also ready.

Master Li and his family planned to stay at the Quanzhen Sect for a few days.

At this moment, Wang Jiuling remembered the sword tassel. He found Ma Yu and Wang Chuyi, took out the sword tassel, and handed it over.

"Master, when I was fighting that Flower Guest, he accidentally dropped this item. It looks familiar, but I can't remember what it is."

Ma Yu took the sword tassel and examined it for a moment, but soon his expression changed and he looked up at Wang Jiuling.

"This was found at the crime scene? You're not mistaken?"

Wang Jiuling was surprised, but then nodded.

"I do not have this item on me, and I have asked others as well. Moreover, this sword tassel is obviously a newly dropped item. There is no other possibility but that thief."

Ma Yu's expression worsened; he gripped the sword tassel tightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Wang Chuyi and Wang Jiuling exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Wang Chuyi spoke up: "To be honest, Senior Brother, this sword tassel also seems very familiar to me. What's going on?"

Ma Yu's face was pale at this moment. There was no one around, but his voice was very soft, barely audible to the other two.

"Junior brother...you forgot? This...this belongs to Zhibing!"
