Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

"Xiao Meng, is this your junior brother?"

Bai Fengjia glanced shyly at Wu Changfeng and asked Meng Suxi.

Meng Suxi introduced:

"No, Miss, this is my sixth junior brother, Li Nian."

"This is his friend, Wu Changfeng."

"Wu Changfeng..."

Bai Fengjia brushed past Li Nian and murmured something softly.

At this moment, Wu Changfeng stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"My name is Wu Changfeng, from Qianhu County. Greetings, Miss!"

"Greetings, Brother Wu. My name is Bai Fengjia."

Bai Fengjia returned the gesture with a fist and palm salute.

He lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Brother Wu is also on temporary assignment on Crescent Moon Island?"

"Miss, I was just passing by when I heard that the Ji family was going to hold a martial arts banquet, and I was just planning to go back to the city to take a look."

"Brother Wu is returning to the city. If you don't mind, you can board the ship and go back together. We can chat about Wu Yan along the way."

Everyone on the ship was stunned.

Bai Fengjia is known for her aloofness.

Even Su Jingheng and Zhang Jinghu, who were also among the Four Heroes of Qianhu, were treated coldly by Bai Fengjia.

Now, however, she has taken the initiative to invite a complete stranger, whom she has just met, to ride on the same boat.

Moreover, her words and actions are far too demure!

Has the young lady changed her personality?

"Excellent! I, Wu, would be impolite to refuse!"

Wu Changfeng readily agreed.

Then, remembering that Meng Suxi had suddenly interrupted him and he hadn't been able to say what he wanted to Li Nian, he said:

"I forgot to tell Brother Li that I have a close friend on Crescent Moon Island named Yi Huan, who also possesses a Heart-Shaped Disc."

Yi Huan!

Li Nian paused for a moment, then said:

"Yi Huan is the island's guardian deity, and I, Li, naturally know him."

"This black dot belongs to Brother Yi. If there is any emergency, you can contact him through this."

"good!"

"Brother Li, see you later!"

"See you soon, Brother Wu!"

The two clasped their hands in farewell.

After speaking, Wu Changfeng leaped into the air like a lion soaring through the sky. His figure was majestic and his momentum was overwhelming. He swept across the ship with a powerful wind and landed on the deck with a thud. He was as steady as a mountain and showed his unparalleled heroic spirit.

Upon seeing it, Bai Fengjia's heart fluttered with excitement, and her face flushed red with embarrassment.

On the awning boat, Meng Suxi bid farewell to Li Nian:

"Junior brother, I'm going back now."

"Have a safe journey, senior sister."

Li Niangong saw him off.

As Meng Suxi was about to turn and leave, she realized that she was still holding Li Nian's arm, and her face immediately flushed.

Then, with a dark expression, he approached Li Nian, lowered his voice, and said with murderous intent:

Why did you extend your arms just now and let me hold you tightly?

"Senior sister, I..."

"How are you feeling? Are you comfortable?"

"Um... I didn't feel anything during our conversation just now..."

"You don't feel anything? You mean, senior sister is too young?"

Meng Suxi glared at Li Nian with her chest puffed out, then stomped on his foot and stormed off.

hiss!

Li Nian covered her feet, watching the magnificent ship sail away, feeling utterly wronged.

This is an unsolvable problem.

I don't feel anything; they just say I think you're too young.

If I have feelings for someone, they'll say I'm a lecher...

How to choose?

I definitely can't say it directly, it feels wonderful...

This willful senior sister is really hard to deal with!

His cunning second senior sister, Xia Qingwei, had also caused him to suffer several setbacks.

It's been quite a while since I've seen my second senior sister. I wonder how she's doing now.

Xia Qingwei might attend the Ji Family Martial Arts Banquet soon, and I should be able to see her when I go back for my next vacation.

If Xia Qingwei knew that he had broken through to the Tendon Refining stage, I wonder what she would think.

Thinking about it, a hint of anticipation flashed in Li Nian's eyes.

Composing himself, he looked in the direction of the island.

"Tu Yue's group is almost here. Let's go back first."

...

"Wow! Your Excellency is amazing! You catch so many fish every day!"

"Damn it, I also go to the Inspector's fishing spot, why do I catch nothing every day?"

"I guess the fish in this lake are also attracted by looks. The inspector is handsome, so they bite his hook fiercely. Why doesn't anyone bite my hook?"

"Old Huang, go back and let your woman bite you."

"Hey damn, Lao Cao, this island's all lonely. How about we bite each other today?"

"Get lost! Tonight I'm making you guys braised fish in a hot pit!"

Cao An and the others were amazed when they saw Li Nian carrying back a basket full of fish, and they started joking with each other.

Li Nian heard it from inside the house, but did not scold his subordinates for speaking rudely.

The island is full of men, so it's normal for them to tell each other dirty jokes after a while.

Thump—thump—thump—! ! !

At that moment, a slow, drawn-out chime came from the direction of the watchtower.

Upon hearing the bell, Cao An and the others were on high alert and rushed into the house to report to Li Nian:

"Your Excellency, this is terrible! This is the warning bell from the watchtower signaling the approaching enemy. We must be on guard immediately!"

coming!

Li Nian narrowed his eyes, a cold, razor-sharp killing intent flashing within them.

After a moment, pretending not to have foreseen this, he pondered for a while and then gave the order:

"Put on your armor and weapons, and follow me to the dock!"

"yes!"

Cao An and the others responded and quickly began preparations.

While they were drinking tea, the group got dressed and ready.

"Walk!"

Li Nian waved his hand and led the group to the dock at high speed.

On the dock.

The alarm bell rang suddenly, its dull and urgent sound echoing throughout the entire island, making everyone's hearts tighten.

The soldiers on the island moved with practiced ease, quickly moving spiked wooden palisades and layering them to block the main road on the beach. Archers took out their arrows and nocked them on their bows, while the others took out their preferred weapons and stood ready for battle.

Ahead on the sea, the black sails of Shenyuan Village were like ghosts covering the sky. The large, dark ships were cutting through the waves and were less than a mile from the shore. The vicious bandits could not contain their ferocity. Several water ghosts with excellent swimming skills took the lead, drew their knives, and jumped into the cold lake water. Their figures disappeared under the waves and they swam silently toward the shore.

The sea breeze, carrying a heavy, menacing atmosphere, swept over us. The surging waves seemed to conceal deadly intent, and beneath the surface, undercurrents surged, revealing countless ruthless bandits lurking in the shadows. A chilling, murderous aura enveloped the entire coastline, and a great battle was about to erupt, filled with an imminent sense of danger.

At that moment, a man in brocade robes stood on a high platform behind the island, drew his silver sword from his waist, pointed it in the direction of the bandit's large ship, and loudly addressed everyone on the island:

"The island's governor is currently in seclusion; right now, my squad leader, the highest-ranking officer on the island, is none other than the Captain Jia!"

"Everyone, heed my command, Zong Zhengyu! Take out your weapons and join me in annihilating the bandits of Shenyuan Village!"

"Proclaim the glory of the Yi family, and the prestige of the Qianhu County government!"

Li Nian looked at Zong Zhengyu on the high platform, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

This man boasted of leading the charge, but instead cowered behind the island's beach.

He's all bark and no bite; he's just putting on a show!

A general who truly wants to lead his troops to defend the island will stand at the forefront; only in this way can he inspire the soldiers' fighting spirit!

Just as Li Nian predicted.

The officers and soldiers on the island were very dissatisfied with Zong Zhengyu's affected manner, but because of his status, no one dared to speak out.

At that moment, the sentry on the watchtower lowered his binoculars and sent a message to Zong Zhengyu:

"Inspector Zong! I just observed carefully with my telescope. There are about a hundred people from Shenyuan Village. The two leaders are the seventh leader of Shenyuan Village, Ge Xiong, the 'Beach Demon,' and the ninth leader, Wang Biao, the 'Pockmarked Biao'!"

"According to the county government's report last month, both of them are at the Bone Refining Realm!"

"None of the other bandits have reached the level of Blood Refinement."

Upon hearing this, Zong Zhengyu raised his eyebrows, his face lighting up with joy, and he was no longer wary.

With a leap, he gracefully soared over the crowd, landing on the island's beach, and laughed loudly:

"These two leaders at the Bone Refinement Realm are quite something. Today, I, Zong Zhengyu, will slaughter them!"

After saying that, Zong Zhengyu looked at Li Nian and said arrogantly:

"Inspector Li, you're also a Bone Cultivator. I'll take care of dealing with Seventh Leader Ge Xiong, and Ninth Leader Pockmarked Biao will be yours. Is that alright?"

Li Nian's expression remained unchanged as she said:

"It is entirely up to Inspector Zong to decide."

Want to get ahead?

you can!

He knew very well that Shenyuan Village had sent one expert with hidden strength and three with visible strength this time.

The sentry report is incorrect!
