Zongwu: Eavesdropping on the inner voices, the female warriors have become strange

After Chen Liu left, Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing gathered together and whispered to each other. Although Chen Liu did not apologize to her, with the status of a princess, Mu Wanqing had the right to stay and did not mention leaving again.

"Sister Mu, I guess Brother Chenliu is about to leave Dali. I plan to wait for Brother Chenliu to leave, and then quietly follow him and go with him. Sister Mu, are you planning to go with me, or stay here and be a princess?" Zhong Ling asked.

"Have you really decided to go with him?" Mu Wanqing asked.

"Yes!"

"That stinky guy's head is always thinking about women and looking for beautiful women. He will marry many women in the future. Are you willing to do that?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if Brother Chen Liu marries many women in the future, I believe he will treat me well." Zhong Ling smiled sweetly, "And I believe this is the marriage arranged by God for us."

"What do you mean?" Mu Wanqing was a little confused.

"Sister Mu, haven't you noticed yet? Not everyone can hear Brother Chen Liu's inner thoughts. Men absolutely can't hear them. Only women can hear them, but not all women can hear them. I guess only the heroine in the story can hear them, and only those who have a predestined relationship with Brother Chen Liu can hear them. At least Dao Baifeng can't hear them. But you and I can hear them, which means this is a fate arranged for us by God."

Mu Wanqing was stunned upon hearing this. How could this be explained? But the more she thought about it, the more she felt Zhong Ling's analysis made sense. If she were the only one destined to be with him, Mu Wanqing wouldn't have been too averse. After all, Chen Liuren was tall, handsome, and had good character. But the thought that there might be other women destined to be with him in the future made Mu Wanqing feel uncomfortable.

"Sister Mu! Do you want to come with me?" Although Zhong Ling often ran away from home, she had always stayed in Dali before. This time, she was going on a long journey and didn't know how long it would take, so she wanted to drag Mu Wanqing along as a companion. Mu Wanqing could also hear Chen Liu's thoughts, so she also felt that Mu Wanqing and Chen Liu had a connection.

"I have no relationship with him now, why should I follow him?" Mu Wanqing curled her lips.

"Well then, Sister Mu, you stay here. If you meet my mother, tell her that I'm going to travel the world with Brother Chenliu."

"I didn't say I wanted to stay here."

"You don't want to stay here, do you want to go back to your uncle?"

"Not really. I'm a little worried about you going on a long journey alone. You're my sister, what if you get hurt? So I'm going with you."

Zhong Ling: ...

Is this what they call saying one thing and doing another?

This time, Duan Yu did not leave home, but was studying the Zhenlong chess game in his own courtyard. When Chen Liu found Duan Yu, he was still frowning and thinking hard. Duan Yu was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not even notice that Chen Liu had been sitting opposite him for a while.

"Hasn't it been untied yet?"

"Ah? When did you come?"

Chen Liu suddenly spoke, frightening Duan Yu so much that he trembled all over. He couldn't help but scream and almost fell to the ground.

Chapter 49: Crane in the Clouds (Part )

"Excellent, wonderful, haha, what a beautiful little beauty, I am so lucky."

With Chen Liu's reminder, Duan Yu easily solved the Zhenlong chess game. While Duan Yu was solving the Zhenlong chess game, Chen Liu secretly wrote down all his steps. After that, he said goodbye to Duan Zhengchun, Duan Yu, Zhong Ling and others and left Dali.

Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing left the palace the same day Chen Liu left and quietly followed him. They weren't worried about losing him, after all, they both knew Chen Liu's destination was Leigu Mountain's Deaf and Mute Valley. They could simply head to Leigu Mountain and wait for him. Then, Chen Liu wouldn't be able to chase them back, would he? However, just as Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing left Dali, they were stopped by a tall, thin, and nauseatingly ugly figure.

"Who are you?" Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing saw the skinny man looking at them with lustful eyes, and immediately drew their weapons vigilantly.

"Me? I'm Yun Zhonghe." Yun Zhonghe, also known as the skinny bamboo pole, grew increasingly excited the more he looked. Zhong Ling, with her round face, was charming and adorable. Mu Wanqing, with her veil covering her face, was also graceful and charming. The small patch of skin on her face was as white as snow. She must be a rare beauty. "Don't worry, my two little beauties. I'll be here to pamper you in a moment, hahahahaha..."

"The extremely vicious Yun Zhonghe?" Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing couldn't help but exclaim. Mu Wanqing immediately became more alert, but Zhong Ling felt a little excited.

Chen Liu had told her not to absorb anyone's internal energy at will, but rapists and bad guys were not included in this list. However, after absorbing all the internal energy, she must kill the person and not let anyone know that she possessed the Beiming Divine Art.

There are techniques in this world that can absorb people's internal energy, such as the Tianchi Weird Hero's technique and the Star Absorption Technique of the former leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, Ren Woxing. However, such martial arts that can absorb people's internal energy are extremely rare in the world. Yun Zhonghe would never have thought that she possessed the Beiming Divine Art. Without intending to do so, she had a great chance of draining Yun Zhonghe dry.

"Huh? These two little beauties actually recognized me? Could it be that they've been talking about me for a long time?"

"So it's you, you rapist. Prepare to die!" When Mu Wanqing heard that the other party was the vicious rapist Yun Zhonghe, she no longer cared about being polite to him. She drew her sword and stabbed Yun Zhonghe.

Yun Zhonghe was a skilled and courageous man, and relying on his superb Qinggong skills, he did not dodge in advance. He waited until Mu Wanqing's long sword was about to hit him. Then he moved his body and narrowly avoided Mu Wanqing's long sword. At the same time, he grabbed the handkerchief on Mu Wanqing's face and said teasingly, "Don't worry, my little beauty. I will love you well later. Let me see what you look like first..."

Mu Wanqing was shocked. She shook her wrist and the long sword changed from a straight stab to a horizontal slash, slashing towards Yun Zhonghe's waist.

"Ouch! The little beauty is so fierce." Yun Zhonghe arched his buttocks back, his body crescent-shaped. Mu Wanqing's long sword swung past his clothes, but it couldn't hurt him at all, not even a scratch on his clothes. Yun Zhong's hands continued to grab Mu Wanqing's face towel.

Mu Wanqing was horrified. Her moves were already old, and it was too late to change them. Even if she wanted to retreat, it was too late. She was suddenly filled with despair. Mu Wanqing had sworn in front of her mother that whoever saw her true face first would be killed or married. Yun Zhonghe was so ugly, Mu Wanqing absolutely refused to marry him. Yun Zhonghe's martial arts were so powerful, she didn't think she had the ability to kill him. So, she had only one choice left: suicide.

Just as Yun Zhonghe's hand was about to touch Mu Wanqing's face mask, Mu Wanqing thought to herself: I should have let that pervert take off my face mask earlier, so I wouldn't have to die.

Just when Mu Wanqing thought that her veil could not be saved, she suddenly heard Yun Zhonghe's strange cry, and his body bent several times in a row that seemed to go against common sense. Then he touched the ground with his toes and flew upwards, avoiding Zhong Ling's dagger and grab like a flying bird, and floated to a nearby tree, with his feet touching a thin branch only as thick as a thumb.

The twig was too thin to support Yun Zhonghe's weight, but thanks to his superb Qinggong (lightness skill), it didn't sink. Instead, it supported Yun Zhonghe's body, floating in the air. It turned out that Yun Zhonghe wasn't standing on the twig. Instead, every time his toes made contact with the twig, he would gently tap it, using the force to slightly lift his body into the air. The twig would sink slightly under the force, then bounce back up. Yun Zhonghe would tap the twig again, using the force to continue his levitation. However, the frequency of this movement was extremely high, and he didn't use much force. From a distance, if one wasn't paying close attention, it would appear as if he was standing on the twig, bouncing up and down. Yun Zhonghe often used this trick to show off, and it fooled many people, but it also showed that his Qinggong (lightness skill) was indeed quite impressive.

"Little beauty, your Qinggong is quite good." Yun Zhonghe looked at Zhong Ling with a hint of doubt in his heart. Zhong Ling's Qinggong footwork was very advanced. Although it was not as good as his, it was only because Zhong Ling's cultivation was too weak. If Zhong Ling's cultivation level was equal to his, he would definitely not have been able to avoid Zhong Ling's sneak attack just now. This made him feel uneasy.

Why had Yun Zhonghe remained undefeated despite his years of evil? It was because he only targeted women from humble backgrounds and minor sects, never touching the heirs of larger sects he couldn't afford to offend. As long as he left them alone, they'd ignore him. Otherwise, with so many masters from the larger sects, if they'd taken him seriously, do you think his light-weight skills would have gotten him away? This was the reason Yun Zhonghe, known as a rapist, remained alive and well despite his reputation as a rapist for so many years.

If Yun Zhonghe were serious, even with Zhong Ling's mastery of the Northern Ocean Divine Art and the Lingbo Weibu, it would be difficult, but not impossible, for him to capture the two women. Zhong Ling's plan to use the Northern Ocean Divine Art to sneak attack Yun Zhonghe and drain him dry was a bit naive. After all, Yun Zhonghe was undoubtedly a master of the innate realm, and his Qi was far superior to hers. If Yun Zhonghe reacted and poured his Qi back into her, Zhong Ling would undoubtedly be the first to collapse. Of course, the average person's first reaction to having their Qi sucked away wouldn't be to counterattack by pouring it back, but to struggle.

However, Zhong Ling failed at the first step. Yun Zhonghe's Qinggong was indeed quite good, and his cultivation was one realm higher than Zhong Ling's. Zhong Ling was ultimately unable to catch Yun Zhonghe, which put her and Mu Wanqing in danger. Fortunately, Zhong Ling's Qinggong frightened Yun Zhonghe, making him think that Zhong Ling was from a famous sect, and he became wary.

Yun Zhonghe was torn between the two people, Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing, who were gathered together, watching him warily. He felt reluctant to give up these two beauties, whom he had finally met. But he was also worried that Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing came from prestigious sects. If he violated them, they would definitely hunt him down, and even the Xixia Yipintang would be unable to protect him.

Chapter 50: Crane in the Clouds (Part )

Yun Zhonghe struggled for a long time, but lust finally won out over reason. He thought to himself, "I haven't seen such a beautiful woman in ages. If I let such a beautiful woman go, I'll definitely regret it for the rest of my life. Anyway, this place is in the middle of nowhere. The worst that can happen is I'll just destroy the bodies afterward." While it would be a shame to destroy these two beauties, it was better than getting nothing at all.

The plan was set. Yun Zhonghe tapped the twig again with his toes and swooped down towards Zhong Ling like a flying bird. He wanted to capture Zhong Ling first. As for Mu Wanqing, he had already tested her martial arts skills. If he could capture Zhong Ling, capturing Mu Wanqing would be easy. And if Zhong Ling escaped, he wouldn't dare touch her. Otherwise, if Zhong Ling reported it to her master, he would face the pursuit of masters from a major sect.

When Zhong Ling saw Yun Zhonghe rushing towards her, she immediately put her right hand on her waist and said, "Good Diao'er, go ahead and bite him to death."

A gray figure immediately jumped out from the cloth bag around Zhong Ling's waist, rushed towards Yun Zhonghe like a flash of lightning, and opened its mouth to bite Yun Zhonghe.

Yun Zhonghe let out another strange cry and twisted his body to avoid the attack of the lightning marten. Zhong Ling also took advantage of the lightning marten's attack and moved forward, grabbing with her right hand, holding a dagger in her left hand, and using the Lingbo Weibu technique to fight Yun Zhonghe. However, Zhong Ling's cultivation was still too weak. She was only a second-rate master in the acquired realm, while Yun Zhonghe was a master of the innate realm. After only a dozen or so moves, she was already in danger. Fortunately, Zhong Ling had practiced the Lingbo Weibu technique to perfection when she and Chen Liu were in the Langhuan Blessed Land. After she was unable to defeat Yun Zhonghe physically, she used the Lingbo Weibu technique to dodge. Although Yun Zhonghe's Qinggong was powerful, it was not easy for him to catch Zhong Ling. Every time he was about to catch her, Zhong Ling would take a step and escape danger with ease. She could also counterattack, grabbing or attacking his vital points with a dagger. With the help of Zhong Ling's lightning marten, Mu Wanqing also rushed towards him with a sword. Yun Zhonghe realized that if he wanted to capture Zhong Ling, he had to show his real ability and take it seriously.

Yun Zhonghe grew increasingly alarmed as the fight wore on. Although Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing couldn't do anything to him, capturing Zhong Ling wouldn't be easy either. He even suspected that if Zhong Ling tried to escape, even if his cultivation level surpassed theirs by a major realm, he wouldn't be able to catch her. What alarmed Yun Zhonghe the most was that, despite being a martial artist at the post-natal realm, Zhong Ling was wielding the same true Qi as him, rather than internal energy. True Qi is the hallmark of a master of the innate realm, yet Zhong Ling, a martial artist at the post-natal realm, was wielding true Qi. How could he not be alarmed? This was definitely a core disciple of some major sect.

"Old Four, let's go." A voice came from the distant woods, reaching the ears of Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, and Yun Zhonghe. The voice seemed a little strange, a little muffled, not like it was made by a human, but rather a sound made by the vibration of true qi.

After realizing he couldn't defeat Zhong Ling and mistakenly believing she was a core disciple of a major sect, Yun Zhonghe had already begun to consider retreating. Just then, the voice arrived, giving Yun Zhonghe a way out. He chuckled and said to Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing, "My two little beauties, my boss called me. I have something else to do. I'll come back to play with you next time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Zhonghe tapped his toes and flew up to the tree again. He landed on a branch, spread his arms like a chicken's wings, and soared several feet before landing on another branch. With another tap of his toes, his body swung up again, floating to the next tree and disappearing in a moment.

Yun Zhonghe suddenly ran away, which made Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing feel relieved. However, they did not dare to relax and quickly rode Mu Wanqing's Black Rose and ran away.

"Ling'er, thank you so much for what happened just now." Mu Wanqing said with some fear, "Otherwise, that rapist would have taken off my veil, and then I would have had no choice but to commit suicide."

"You're welcome, you're my sister." Zhong Ling waved her hand and couldn't help but complain, "My uncle is really a jerk. How could she make you make such a vow? Didn't she ever think about the situation just now?"

Mu Wanqing was also a little depressed. She hadn't thought much of it before, but after what had just happened, she felt that this oath was indeed a bit inconsiderate. If she really had her veil removed by a rapist, could she really marry him?

"That was really dangerous just now!" Even after running a long way, Zhong Ling was still a little frightened and said gloomily, "I didn't expect Yun Zhonghe's Qinggong to be so powerful. He was able to dodge my unexpected sneak attack with Lingbo Weibu. And his martial arts skills are so high. Every time my dagger touched his steel claws, my hand went numb. There were several times when I almost lost my grip. If he hadn't been called away just now, we might have died here today. Ever since I learned the Bei Nasha technique, I thought my martial arts skills were already quite powerful. I didn't expect that in front of a true master, we still had no power to resist."

Mu Wanqing was even more depressed and said, "You were lucky. You could still fight him for more than ten moves, but you couldn't even block three of his moves."

Mu Wanqing had originally thought her martial arts skills were quite impressive. Even if she wasn't a top-tier martial arts expert, she should be at least second-rate, right? After all, her mother had practiced for decades, but now she was only about the same level as her. It would take at least a hundred moves to defeat her. However, this time, she fought with Yun Zhonghe and realized that she had been a little naive. In front of those innate masters, she didn't even have the strength to fight back. This made her even more eager to obtain Zhong Ling's Beiming Divine Art. You know, Zhong Ling couldn't beat her before, but now, even three or five of her might not be her match.

"Good sister, can't you really teach me that technique? I am your biological sister, and I will accompany you to find your man." Mu Wanqing said flatteringly.

"Although you are my sister, you also know that this technique was found by Brother Chen Liu, and it was he who passed it on to me. Brother Chen Liu said that this is the unique skill of the Xiaoyao Sect, and the Xiaoyao Sect still has several great masters, and there may even be celestial masters. If anyone knew that their sect's skills had been leaked, they would definitely come after us."

Zhong Ling was still reluctant to pass on the Bei Ming Divine Art to Mu Wanqing, so she made an excuse, "Brother Chen Liu instructed me not to leak the news that I possessed that technique to anyone, not even my father or mother. If it weren't for that time when I was careless and you discovered it, I wouldn't have told you either."

"Also, Brother Chen Liu also told me that we must never casually absorb other people's internal energy. If we do absorb it, we must kill the person and never let anyone know that we can absorb people's internal energy."

"Don't worry, my dear sister, I will never reveal it to anyone. If I absorb other people's internal energy, I will definitely kill them all." Mu Wanqing said.

Zhong Ling: ...

Don't you understand what people are saying?

Chapter 51 Lianyun Village (Part )

After much persuasion from Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling finally passed on the Bei Ming Divine Art and Ling Bo Wei Bu to her. Mu Wanqing was simply too persistent, and she even gave a reason that Zhong Ling didn't know how to refute.

Mu Wanqing said that since Zhong Ling believed they could hear Chen Liu's inner voice, it meant that they and Chen Liu were destined to be together. In the future, they would all be one family, so why would they need to be separated? Besides, there might be a lot of destined relationships arranged by heaven. She didn't think only the two of them could hear Chen Liu's inner voice; the heroines of other stories might also be able to hear it. If there were more women around Chen Liu in the future, Zhong Ling would need allies, right? That way, she could better compete for his favor. And who could be a more suitable ally than her, Mu Wanqing? After all, they grew up together as sisters, and they were actually sisters.

After Mu Wanqing said this, Zhong Ling had no way to refuse anymore. She could only teach Mu Wanqing both the Beiming Divine Art and the Lingbo Weibu, and helped her switch to practicing the Beiming Divine Art.

After Mu Wanqing finally learned the Beiming Divine Art that she had longed for, she was overjoyed and began to trick Zhong Ling into killing bandits to practice her skills.

"Ling'er, although that bastard doesn't allow us to absorb other people's internal energy, rapists and bad guys are not included in that category. After all, rapists are hard to find, and the famous rapists have relatively advanced Qinggong skills, making them difficult to catch. Moreover, we still have to go to Leigu Mountain to find that bastard. If we go specifically to kill the rapist, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also dangerous. It would be better to improve our cultivation power first, break through to the Xiantian realm, and then kill the rapist."

Mu Wanqing carefully analyzed the situation for Zhong Ling, saying, "Although we won't be killing the rapists for now, we can kill the bad guys. There are so many bandit strongholds along the way to Leigu Mountain. Although their cultivation may not be very strong, they are relatively easier to kill. As long as we attack a few more bandit dens, our energy will accumulate over time and we can quickly build up to ten, twenty, or even thirty years of energy, breaking through to the Xiantian realm or even the Grandmaster realm. Then, when we kill the rapists again, will they be able to escape? Moreover, killing the bandits is also a way to eliminate harm to the people. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. As long as we kill all the bandits and don't let others know that we possess the skills to absorb people's internal energy, even if that bastard finds out, he won't say anything about you."

Mu Wanqing’s analysis was indeed reasonable, and Zhong Ling was also very tempted. It is better to take action than to be tempted.

Lianyunzhai, a bandit stronghold within Xuzhou, Tongchuan Prefecture, boasts three leaders, all reputedly skilled martial artists. The eldest is known for his martial arts prowess, the second for his greed, and the third for his lust. All three are incredibly cruel and vicious, earning a poor reputation in Xuzhou, frequently causing harm to the local population and passing merchants.

It's not that the local Xuzhou authorities didn't want to eliminate them, but Lianyunzhai was located in a high, treacherous area with only one entrance, and at a strategic point, only two people could walk side by side, making it difficult to attack. Local officials had repeatedly sent troops to attack Lianyunzhai, but each time they returned without success and suffered heavy casualties. Even when the authorities enlisted the aid of warriors from local martial arts families, they were powerless against Lianyunzhai. Instead, the bandits retaliated and repeatedly attacked Xuzhou officials. Unable to control Lianyunzhai, the Xuzhou authorities ultimately turned a blind eye.

Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing were passing through Xuzhou, staying in a village when they heard that the third leader of Lianyun Village was coming the next day to forcefully marry the daughter of the village's Wang family. The entire Wang family was now in a state of despair. Everyone knew that the third leader of Lianyun Village was not only a pervert, but also extremely cruel and vicious. Over the years, he had forced at least a dozen women into marriage. And once those women were in the mountains, even the slightest sign of disobedience was met with beatings and abuse, sometimes even being given away to the bandits for their pleasure. It was said that many women, unable to bear the humiliation, committed suicide. For this reason, the locals nicknamed the third leader the "bone-sucking sex demon."

In this area, if a girl fell in love with the bone-sucking demon, it would be like entering a hellish pit. And now that Mr. Wang's daughter had fallen in love with the bone-sucking demon, how could he not be worried?

After hearing about this, Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing asked the villagers about Lianyun Village. The villagers kindly advised them not to ask and to leave quickly, preferably overnight. After all, not only was Zhong Ling as beautiful as a flower, but Mu Wanqing was also very graceful. If the bone-sucking demon saw them, they would be unable to leave even if they wanted to.

However, Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing not only refused to listen, but also decided to stay and face the bone-sucking demon. Seeing that their repeated persuasion had no effect, the villagers gave up, believing that good words could not persuade a damned demon. Although the two girls claimed to have martial arts skills, it was not uncommon for young warriors with martial arts skills to attack Lianyun Village. However, most of them never returned, while the three leaders of Lianyun Village were still alive and well.

After asking the villagers and finding out the terrain of Lianyun Village, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling discussed it privately. Even if they dealt with the third in command, it would still be difficult to break into Lianyun Village. Even the large army organized by the local government had been repelled by Lianyun Village. If the two of them went to attack Lianyun Village, as long as Lianyun Village sent people to guard the key roads and shoot them with bows and arrows, even if they had the Lingbo Weibu technique, they would be helpless. After discussing it, the two decided to let Mu Wanqing play the bride and Zhong Ling play her maid. After following the third in command into the bandit village, they would kill him first, and then kill the first and second in command. As long as they entered the village and killed all three in command, the remaining minions would be nothing but a piece of cake for them.

Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling hadn't considered whether they could defeat the three leaders of Lianyun Village. It could only be said that they were both a bit foolish and bold. Of course, they also relied on their Beiming Divine Art and Lingbo Weibu to gain some confidence.

When Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing went to see Wang Yuanwai together, Wang Yuanwai was not overjoyed, but even more distressed. There was nothing he could do. After repeatedly repelling the encirclement and suppression by the government soldiers, the local people were already afraid of Lianyun Village and did not even dare to resist. Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling were going to kill the third leader and the other two leaders of Lianyun Village. If they failed, they themselves would be in trouble. How could his family be saved? Wasn't he afraid that the people of Lianyun Village would retaliate against his family? How many martial arts heroes went to attack Lianyun Village and ended up in trouble, and even died in Lianyun Village. Wang Yuanwai didn't believe that Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing, two girls who looked only in their teens, could kill the three leaders of Lianyun Village. How could he not be miserable?

However, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling hadn't come to discuss matters with Wang Yuanwai; they were merely informing him to cooperate. He had to cooperate whether he wanted to or not. Furthermore, when Wang Yuanwai expressed his unwillingness to cooperate, Mu Wanqing threatened him by drawing her sword and shattering a solid wooden table. With no other choice, Wang Yuanwai had no choice but to comply.

Chapter 52 Lianyun Village (Part )

When Zhong Ling was following Chen Liu, she had seen him use a disguise technique. Chen Liu had learned this technique from Ah Zhu, and after changing his appearance, he looked like a completely different person, completely unrecognizable. Therefore, after Zhong Ling decided to quietly follow Chen Liu away, she naturally wanted to learn his disguise technique, so that it would be easier for her to follow him in the future. Chen Liu didn't think much of it, and since Zhong Ling wanted to learn, he taught her.

Mu Wanqing was wearing a veil because she was playing the bride, so she didn't have to worry about being exposed. However, Zhong Ling was also very cute and lovely, so she had to disguise herself as an ordinary-looking maid.

Perhaps it was because the officials of Lianxu Prefecture and many martial arts heroes were unable to do anything to them, which made the people of Lianyun Village a little too proud of themselves. After seeing that Wang Yuanwai had married off his daughter honestly, he did not check carefully and laughed and carried the fake bride away. As for the fact that Wang Yuanwai had given him an extra maid, he did not care. The third leader thought that it must be because Wang Yuanwai was worried that his daughter would suffer in the mountain village, so he sent an extra maid to serve his daughter. Although the maid looked ordinary and he had no interest in her, the bandits in the mountain village were definitely not picky eaters. Since Wang Yuanwai gave it to him, he did not mind accepting it and taking it back to give to his younger brothers to play with.

After sending Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling away, Wang Yuanwai immediately ordered his family to pack up their valuables and flee, leaving even the land behind. He didn't believe Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling could handle the bandits in Lianyun Village. If their assassination attempt failed, the bandits would surely come after him, and he didn't want to die yet.

After Zhong Ling followed the Third Master into Lianyun Village, she took advantage of the Third Master's inattention and quietly approached him. She grabbed him and began to absorb his internal energy. The Third Master had no idea that the maid who followed them up the mountain was actually a martial artist with unorthodox skills. After being grabbed by the meridians and having her internal energy absorbed, his body immediately became sore and weak, unable to struggle. The Third Master wanted to call for help, but Zhong Ling pressed his mute point. Zhong Ling was not worried that the Third Master would call for help, but she was afraid that he would tell others about her ability to absorb people's internal energy.
