The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

There was nothing he could do but continue waiting.

But as time passed, the bandit felt he couldn't hold back any longer, and now he heard footsteps approaching, and his heart began to pound wildly.

The footsteps grew closer and then suddenly disappeared beside him. The bandit felt his heart leap into his throat. He squinted his eyes slightly and saw Jiang Ning looking down at him.

Finished!

The bandit felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Knowing he had been discovered, he stopped pretending, opened his eyes, knelt down in front of Jiang Ning, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have robbed you. I'll never do it again. Please let me go. I promise I'll turn over a new leaf and start a new life. Please, please."

The bandit kept kowtowing, crying with snot and tears all over the ground.

Jiang Ning's attack just now was so terrifying that it filled him with dread.

At this moment, a puddle of urine appeared between his legs, and a foul odor emanated from it.

Jiang Ning shook his head upon hearing this.

"Even if you beg me, I won't let you go."

After saying that, Jiang Ning slapped the top of his head with a palm, and with a cracking sound, the bandit immediately fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Jiang Ning originally knew he was faking his death, but he was focused on getting used to his body and then comforting the couple after returning, so he didn't think about it for a while. Now that he remembered, he naturally couldn't let him go.

After dealing with the bandit, Jiang Ning turned around and walked towards the trembling couple, saying as he went.

“I am not a tyrannical and bloodthirsty person. Those are all false accusations and slanders by evil forces. Don’t believe them.”

The man nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Hmm, we don't believe it."

Seeing that he had already believed it, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

"I have dealt with these bandits. You should return to Shaanxi. Be careful on the road and try to stay on official roads."

"Yes...yes, thank you, hero."

The man nodded hurriedly, got into the carriage with his wife, and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said to Jiang Ning.

"Great hero, aren't you going back to Shaanxi? You can travel with us."

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"No, I won't be going back to Shaanxi for now."

Since there are bandits here, there must be a stronghold. He plans to wipe them out.

Upon hearing this, the man knew he couldn't say anything more.

"Then... take care, hero."

After saying this, the man was about to drive the carriage away, but he stopped after a few steps and shouted back to Jiang Ning.

"Great hero, I believe you are a good person."

The bandit leader arrived on horseback, and Jiang Ning planned to ride away on that horse. After hearing the man's words, he couldn't help but smile.

After bidding farewell to the couple, Jiang Ning mounted his horse and left the place.

Before long, Jiang Ning arrived at the entrance of a mountain stronghold.

"Who are you? Why are you riding our boss's horse?"

The bandits guarding the gate immediately shouted a question upon seeing Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything, and with a flick of his body, he leaped over.

……

A few days later.

night.

Jiang Ning sat on the grass, a campfire burning in front of him, the firelight reflecting in his eyes. A horse yawned on the grass not far away.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, sensing his body and the changes.

After a while.

Jiang Ning reached out and picked up a pebble from the ground, held it in his palm, and then released it, turning the pebble into powder.

A gentle breeze blew, brushing against Jiang Ning's palm, and the powder scattered with the wind.

"Reaching the pinnacle..."

Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

After a while, Jiang Ning closed his eyes and remained silent.

The next morning, Jiang Ning continued his journey towards Luoyang.

At noon, Jiangning arrived at a small town.

Pingyu Town.

Jiang Ning looked around the town and decided to go in for a meal before continuing his journey.

He's getting closer and closer to Luoyang now; he'll arrive in a few days.

"Let's go."

Jiang Ning dismounted and led his horse into the town.

call!call!

A whistling sound rang in my ears.

The wind blew Jiang Ning's robes fluttering in the wind.

Jiang Ning looked up at the trees swaying in the wind and the leaves fluttering everywhere, his hair brushing against his cheek.

"The wind is quite noisy today."

Chapter 322: My sword kills without drawing blood. Do you want to see it?

Although May marks the beginning of summer, today's weather is unusually hot.

Jiang Ning led his horse into the town and let out a soft exclamation.

What a deserted town.

I've been to many places and seen many towns in Jiangning recently. Although they vary in size, they are all quite lively.

The town that Jiangning came from now exudes a sense of desolation.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and it was rare to see anyone.

The town is quite large, with at least a thousand residents, but there are hardly any people on the main streets, which is puzzling.

Jiang Ning was walking down the street, looking around the small town, when a man staggered towards him, reeking of alcohol.

This person staggered and walked erratically, and somehow ended up crashing into Jiangning on this entire street.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning sidestepped and avoided the man.

The drunkard stumbled to the ground, cried out in pain, and seemed to sober up a bit. He stood up and started cursing at Jiang Ning.

"Hey, why don't you watch where you're walking? This street is so wide, and you just had to bump into me."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly upon seeing this, looked the man up and down, but said nothing.

After grumbling a few words, the drunkard staggered away and disappeared around the corner.

Jiang Ning glanced at the man's departing figure, then turned and left.

As Jiang Ning walked along, he looked around the small town, intending to find a restaurant to eat at. However, he found that most of the shops along the way were closed. It took him a long time to finally find a restaurant that was still open.

"Oh, what a handsome guest!"

A woman swayed her hips as she walked over.

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

The woman, heavily made up, held a flower fan in her hand to cover her chin and smiled at Jiang Ning.

As she spoke, the woman reached out and touched Jiang Ning's chest.

Jiang Ning took a step back, then sat down at a table and slammed his sword down on it.

"Just bring me some food."

As Jiang Ning sat down, he also took in the environment of the restaurant.

The first floor is the lobby, filled with tables, but there are only a handful of people, just a few diners.

The diners sat silently drinking, not saying a word, but all looked over when Jiang Ning entered.

This rather bizarre scene made Jiang Ning unconsciously narrow his eyes.

At this moment, the woman also came over, leaning her upper body on the table, staring straight at Jiang Ning with seductive eyes.

"Where are you from, young master? You look unfamiliar."

The woman's voice was languid, her breath sweet and fragrant, almost touching Jiang Ning's face.

"Shaanxi".

Jiang Ning gave a brief response.

"That's quite far. What's your name, sir? My surname is Wang, you can just call me Qingxia."

As the woman spoke, she reached out to touch Jiang Ning's face.

"Sir, you are truly handsome. I have never seen anyone as handsome as you here."

The other diners also looked over, but still no one spoke.

"Hurry up and serve the food, I need to eat so I can get going."

Jiang Ning turned his head and handed it over, not letting the woman touch him.
