Eighteen-year-old vow

"Crimson Snow Yama?!"

Upon hearing Lan Xiaogu's words, Jin Xueyi's eyes widened in surprise.

"You are the one who killed all seven giant serpent heroes in one night, thus becoming famous throughout the world, and then, because you thought you were invincible, you took the initiative to challenge Yan Hui, the number one assassin in the world, but were defeated by Yan Hui in the battle of Taihu Lake and sank to the bottom of the lake?"

When she finished speaking the first half of her sentence, Lan Xiaogu's lowered eyebrows and eyes were filled with the arrogance of a young man who had achieved success.

It's as if to say, "Looks like you do know how powerful I am!"

But as she spoke the second half, Lan Xiaogu's eyes suddenly twitched, and her proudly raised toes curled up involuntarily.

"nonsense!"

The cold, sharp voice condensed into needle-like points.

This time, Jin Xueyi did not back down at all.

"How am I talking nonsense? Isn't this common knowledge? If you defeated Yan Hui, why is Yan Hui still the number one assassin in the world, while you are only number three?"

Lan Xiaogu sneered.

"What do you know? Yan Hui is just a fraud. His strength is indeed first-rate, but he is far from being the best in the world!"

"The reason I lost to him that day was entirely because he had tampered with the waters of Taihu Lake beforehand. I was caught off guard and fell victim to his ambush. This time, I left Miao territory for two reasons: first, for the 'Eight Directions of Qimen Blade,' and second, to kill Yan Hui and Lu Er, the second-ranked Hundred-Step Flying Dragon!"

Jin Xueyi pursed her lips; judging from her expression, she clearly didn't believe Lan Xiaogu's words.

Losers are always good at making excuses for themselves, and she used to be like that too.

"Then I wish you great success."

Jin Xueyi didn't want to continue arguing with Lan Xiaogu; she just wanted to get away. She had nothing to talk about with the assassin.

“Miss An, let’s go. It’s getting late. We need to get Miss Hong home as soon as possible, or her parents will worry.”

"Wait a minute!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Xiaogu, who had been sitting there, appeared in front of An Qingwan and Jin Xueyi.

Jin Xueyi's pupils contracted.

How did you get here?

She didn't see it at all.

Lan Xiaogu said seriously, "I wasn't joking when I said that. If you're willing, I can be your eyes. With my lightness skill, I'll definitely be better at it than she is!"

An Qingwan asked Lan Xiaogu with great interest, "For the 'Eight Directions of Qimen Blade'?"

Lan Xiaogu shook her head: "I believe the 'Eight Directions Blade of Qimen' is not on you. With your martial arts skills, you don't need that, and there's no need for you to lie to me."

An Qingwan asked, "Then what is it for?"

Lan Xiaogu said, "Wait for someone."

An Qingwan understood: "Yan Hui and Lu Er."

Lan Xiaogu said, "That's right, Yan Hui and Lu Er will definitely come looking for you. I'll be your eyes and ears. You just need to hand them over to me when they show up."

An Qingwan asked, "Why are you so determined to be number one?"

Lan Xiaogu said, "If I were the number one assassin in the world, I could ask for a higher price when accepting missions."

So you wanted more money!

An Qingwan didn't find this strange, but Jin Xueyi next to her was dumbfounded.

Just for this?

Lan Xiaogu pressed further, "What do you think of my suggestion?"

These words made Jin Xueyi's heart jump into her throat.

After learning Lan Xiaogu's true identity, although she was reluctant to admit it, she still had to say that Lan Xiaogu was indeed more suitable to be An Qingwan's eyes than she was.

Firstly, Lan Xiaogu is a top-notch martial arts expert and wouldn't hold An Qingwan back.

Secondly, Lan Xiaogu's lightness skill is superb, so she can run even faster while carrying An Qingwan on her back.

Thirdly, Lan Xiaogu is experienced in the martial arts world, unlike her who needs An Qingwan's constant guidance.

The more she compared things, the more flustered Jin Xueyi became.

She bit her lower lip, not daring to look at An Qingwan again, for fear of hearing hurtful words.

After an unknown amount of time, An Qingwan finally spoke.

"I reject."

These were unexpected words, like a summer downpour.

The three simple words made Jin Xueyi and Lan Xiaogu's eyes widen simultaneously.

"why?"

An Qingwan said, "The most important thing about eyes is never whether they can see far, but whether they are suitable."

Lan Xiaogu didn't believe it: "You haven't even tried me, so how do you know she's more suitable than me?"

An Qingwan smiled and said, "Haven't we already tried it? From the very first moment we met."

Lan Xiaogu stood there, stunned.

An Qingwan said no more and told Jin Xueyi, who was also stunned, to leave.

Until they got into the carriage.

Until the carriage wheels started to turn.

Lan Xiaogu still couldn't understand why she lost to Jin Xueyi.

As she watched the departing carriage, she recalled a similar scene: it had rained that day, and the road was just as muddy.

This is the third time she has ever lost in her life.

His knuckles cracked as he pinched them.

Lan Xiaogu shouted, "Even if you don't accept it, I'll still secretly follow you!"

An Qingwan's voice drifted from afar: "Whatever you want."

After a few breaths, another sound came.

"You still haven't told me your age."

"fifteen."

The evening breeze carried Lan Xiaogu's voice back.

Fifteen.

She has reached the age of coming of age.

An Qingwan said to Jin Xueyi, who was driving, "She's like you, no, she's more like a child than you."

Although she was praised for being "mature," Jin Xueyi was not happy at all at this moment.

This year is the fifteenth.

In other words, at the age of thirteen, Lan Xiaogu single-handedly assassinated the Seven Heroes of the Giant Serpent, who were known as the heroes of Jiangnan.

What kind of strength is this?

What kind of talent is this?

Although she is still far inferior to An Qingwan, compared to her, she shines like moonlight.

Jin Xueyi sighed inwardly and stopped talking, focusing solely on driving.

The carriage sped along and soon arrived in the village.

It was still the hour of Yin, the time when people are most sleepy, but the lights were still on in the house of the young girl Ah Hong, and the couple were still standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

An Qingwan helped the young girl Ah Hong down from the carriage.

At this moment, the couple could no longer contain their emotions.

They hugged Ah Hong, laughing and crying. After they finished crying and laughing, they quickly pulled Ah Hong to An Qingwan and Jin Xueyi to thank them.

“The kindness of the two young ladies is greater than a mountain. I am a farmer, I don’t know many words, and my family is not well-off. This…this is all I can offer. I hope the two young ladies will not find it offensive.”

They pulled out a package and tried to hand it to An Qingwan.

An Qingwan and Jin Xueyi declined repeatedly, saying they didn't need money or anyone to do anything for them, and in the end they only asked for a sip of water.

The couple and Ah Hong cried their eyes out, thanking him repeatedly, even as the carriage gradually drove away towards Nanlu County.

"Are you in a good mood?" An Qingwan asked.

Jin Xueyi nodded: "I'm gradually starting to understand some of the things my parents taught me. I really shouldn't have said things like 'I should just give up' because of hatred."

An Qingwan smiled and said, "Now that you've grasped this point, you should understand why I said you're more suitable to be my eyes."

"what?"

Jin Xueyi was completely bewildered.

An Qingwan said, "Because, what you saw, Miss Jin, is what I most wanted to see in the past, while what Lan Xiaogu saw is not what I wanted to see."

What I saw?

Jin Xueyi tilted her head back and looked directly at An Qingwan's face.

She saw An Qingwan smiling.

This wasn't the first time she'd seen An Qingwan laugh, but this was the most relaxed laugh An Qingwan had ever had.

At this moment, Jin Xueyi thought of her parents' teachings, her original dream, and everything An Qingwan had done in Zhen'an County.

Have a chivalrous heart and do good deeds...

"So, you and I are friends, but Lan Xiaogu, at least for now, will not be my friend. I'd rather travel a long journey with my friends."

Hearing An Qingwan's words, Jin Xueyi's heart skipped a beat.

friend?

She never imagined that she and An Qingwan had this kind of relationship.

She lowered her head.

“Miss An, actually, I didn’t have any friends before, you are my first friend.”

An Qingwan smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you are also my first friend."

what? !

Jin Xueyi's heart suddenly started beating faster, so fast that her heart almost felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

Finally, she mustered up her courage.

“Miss An, if you don’t mind, I can be your eyes for the rest of my life. Anyway, I have nowhere else to go.”

"You can back out at any time."

"I won't go back on my word."

drive!

Under the rising sun, Jin Xueyi happily drove the carriage into Nanlu County.

At this time, news of the Taiqing Daoist temple being wiped out and the deaths of the eldest son Ning Buqi and Protector Luo gradually spread.
