Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

Having received the payment, I've explained everything that needed to be explained.

Qin Xiao didn't want to delay any longer and looked at Li Ruoyou:

"Without further ado, let's get ready and set off immediately."

"it is good."

Li Ruoyou nodded solemnly without objecting. It concerned the inheritance of the Li family, and she could not afford to delay.

"Ruoyou, Master Lin, please take good care of yourselves."

Xu Yiren looked at the two of them with a worried expression.

She wanted to go with the two of them, but she knew her own limitations; with her mediocre skills, she was not qualified to take the risk with them.

"Be careful," Madam Li said, looking at the two of them with concern.

The medicinal herb fields of today are not the same as those of the Li family in the past. The Li family's medicinal herb fields have fallen into the hands of the city lord's mansion. As you can imagine, they have become a den of dragons and tigers, and are not so easy to break into.

"Yes, we will. We'll discuss it in detail when we get back," Li Ruoyou said.

A short while later.

Qin Xiao and Li Ruoyou each rode a spirited horse raised by the Li family, rushing towards the Li family's medicinal herb field.

Most of the day has passed.

The two finally arrived at a continuous mountain range.

"Uncle Lin, my family's medicinal herb field is just across the mountain in front of us."

Li Ruoyou stopped her horse and said with an extremely solemn expression, "My family's medicinal herb field is surrounded by a basin with mountains on all sides. The environment is very secluded and hidden, and it is usually difficult for people to find it."

"If we're lucky, the city lord's mansion might not have sent any experts to guard this place. But if we're unlucky, we'll probably have to fight the city lord's mansion."

Li Ruoyou still felt a sliver of hope.

After all, Luo Chen occupied her family's medicinal herb field alone.

The people guarding the medicinal herb field may not be experts from the city lord's mansion; they might just be one or two martial artists that Luo Chen randomly sent to guard it.

In that case, sneaking into the medicine field and obtaining that divine weapon would be a piece of cake.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Qin Xiao nodded, not really caring. He had already prepared to kill someone before he came.

Anyway, he and the City Lord's Mansion were already sworn enemies.

then.

The two dismounted.

They cautiously made their way towards the medicinal herb field.

They hadn't walked far when they arrived near the mountain pass.

Li Ruoyou's expression froze instantly, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief:

"Why is this happening!"

Surprisingly, the mountain pass was heavily guarded.

A sentry every five steps, a guard every ten steps!

The warriors from the city lord's mansion, with serious expressions and sharp blades in hand, patrolled diligently near the pass, and not a single one of them slacked off.

At a glance, there were dozens of fully armed martial artists just outside!

It's an absolute trap.

Li Ruoyou was filled with shock and anger.

What exactly happened?

Such an arrangement is not something that Luo Chen could possibly create.

Only the higher-ups of the city lord's mansion are qualified to send out so many martial artists.

Moreover, the defenses are so tight that even in this desolate wilderness, so many martial artists have been dispatched.

No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right.

In an instant, Li Ruoyou felt a sense of foreboding. She suddenly realized that Luo Chen's occupation of her family's medicinal herb field was not just his own doing.

The real manipulator behind it is probably the higher-ups in the City Lord's Mansion!

What made Li Ruoyou even more uneasy was why the city lord's high-ranking officials wanted to occupy her family's medicinal herb fields.

Did they discover the divine weapon in the herb field?

"No, we have to go in and check right away."

Li Ruoyou immediately felt anxious, but looking at the warriors guarding the pass ahead, she was at a loss as to what to do.

Even though she was a Bone Refining Realm martial artist, it was impossible for her to sneak into the medicine field under the noses of so many people.

"Uncle Lin, what should we do now?"

Li Ruoyou looked helplessly at Qin Xiao, her beautiful eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

She doubted that even Qin Xiao might be able to infiltrate it.

"Miss Ruoyou, can you trust me?"

Qin Xiao remained completely calm, glancing indifferently at Li Ruoyou.

"Uncle Lin, what kind of talk is that?"

Li Ruoyou looked at Qin Xiao speechlessly, "So much has happened, even if I were to entrust my new life to you, I wouldn't hesitate for a second."

Upon hearing this...

A smile appeared in Qin Xiao's eyes.

He felt a strong liking for Li Ruoyou from the moment they met, because she was straightforward, innocent, and once she trusted him, she believed him without a doubt.

Such a personality is undoubtedly the most admirable.

Then, without saying much, Qin Xiao gave an order:

"Remember, keep your mouth shut."

Li Ruoyou was taken aback.

The next moment, I felt my body lighten.

Then, in a panic, they discovered...

She was actually lifted up by Qin Xiao with one arm around her waist.

"Uncle Lin, you—"

Li Ruoyou's face instantly burned and turned bright red. She had never been touched so intimately by a man before.

There was no time for shame or anger.

The next moment, she almost screamed.

In an instant, everything blurred before my eyes.

She was horrified to discover this.

The surrounding scenery was changing at an incredible speed.

Qin Xiao, while embracing her, sped up the mountain at an astonishing speed.

Without stopping along the way, Qin Xiao passed through various guarded and dangerous intersections as if they were empty, sometimes even flashing past the other party after they had left.

Sometimes, taking advantage of the blink of an eye, they burst forth with astonishing speed and vanish in an instant.

More than once, in the blink of an eye, they could have been discovered.

At times like this, Li Ruoyou would almost wet her pants in fear.

But each time, Qin Xiao managed to capture that crucial moment perfectly, narrowly escaping detection from others.

This gave Li Ruoyou a false alarm.

An unknown amount of time passed.

The scene in Li Ruoyou's eyes finally stopped changing.

"arrive."

Qin Xiao spoke calmly and put Li Ruoyou down from his arms.

Unexpectedly, the girl's delicate body went limp.

She almost fell into Qin Xiao's arms.

Qin Xiao quickly helped Li Ruoyou up.

But Li Ruoyou's exquisite face was now deathly pale, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be swirling in circles.

"Uncle Lin...you...you might as well kill me...ugh..."

Li Ruoyou finally managed to stand up, panting heavily, and before she could say a few words, her stomach suddenly churned violently.

He knelt on the ground and could no longer control himself, so he started vomiting.

It was simply because the infiltration process just now was too hardcore and too dangerous.

Even though Li Ruoyou was usually very thick-skinned, she was almost scared out of her wits by such a thing, and she was both mentally and physically exhausted.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ruoyou, I didn't handle it well."

Seeing this, Qin Xiao was also a little embarrassed. After all, it was his first time leading a group in stealth, and his movements were somewhat clumsy.

He never imagined that Li Ruoyou's strength was only at the early stage of Bone Refinement, and that she was many levels below him.

One wrong move and Li Ruoyou vomited.

Li Ruoyou vomited for a long time before finally stopping. She took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with shame and anger as she looked at Qin Xiao:

"Next time... I'll be more careful next time, Uncle Lin. Also, next time you should tell me before touching me."

No matter how reckless and naive she was, she was still a virgin, and being touched by a man so abruptly filled her with extreme shame and anger.

That is, Qin Xiao, who had done her a great favor.

If it were any other man, Li Ruoyou would probably have turned on him on the spot and chopped off his hand.

Qin Xiao chuckled lightly: "Even if I told you beforehand, the final result wouldn't be the same, unless you didn't want to come here."

Li Ruoyou looked at Qin Xiao speechlessly.

Actually, she understood.

She didn't have Qin Xiao's skills, so if she wanted to sneak into the herb field, she would have to be led in by Qin Xiao.

Intimate contact would then be unavoidable.

Despite understanding, the girl still felt a little ashamed.

Just as Li Ruoyou was about to say something more.

Suddenly, his expression hardened, and he looked around at the scenery:

"Wait, where is this place?"

"Isn't this your herb garden? But why are all these eerie flowers planted in your herb garden? What kind of flowers are they? I've never heard of them before."

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow; his gaze had already noticed something strange about the surrounding medicinal fields.

These medicinal fields were all planted with a kind of incomparably blood-red flower.

The flower buds of the blood-red flower resembled blood-filled human skin.

It was eerie, unsettling, and indescribably terrifying.

Qin Xiao was wondering why the Li family's medicinal herb field was blooming like this, but seeing Li Ruoyou's reaction, he realized something was amiss.

"No, my family has never grown this kind of flower!"

Unexpectedly, Li Ruoyou's expression changed drastically. "This is the Yellow Spring Flower! A forbidden flower unique to the Black Heaven Sect!"

"What? The Black Heaven Cult!"

Qin Xiao's expression changed drastically.

How did they get involved with the Black Heaven Cult again?

When he killed Wang Shijie, Wang Shijie used the Black Heaven Sect's forbidden secret technique, the Disintegration Technique.

This led Qin Xiao to suspect that the Wang family was colluding with the Black Heaven Cult.

But now, how come the people from the City Lord's Mansion are also related to the Black Heaven Cult?

In an instant, Qin Xiao realized that he seemed to have been drawn into a huge conspiracy.

"Clap clap clap!"

Suddenly, a round of applause broke out.

"As expected of the heir of the Li family, he can even recognize the Yellow Spring Flower of my Black Heaven Sect."

Then, a playful voice suddenly rang out from the side.
