Who are you calling a stable boy?!

He was kneeling on one knee, his fists clenched in front of him.

It was such a simple action, but when he stood up, the strength and beauty in his posture were immediately displayed to the fullest.

As if sensing the gazes of the crowd, the young man turned his face, his golden eyes, which seemed to be burning, looking over.

His gaze swept quickly across the crowd and landed on Anna.

Looking at the girl, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, Zheng Jing spoke up.

"Anna?"

"Handsome, Mr. Handsome?"

This was, after all, the first time Anna had seen Zheng Jing in person.

Hearing the girl's nervous voice, Zheng Jing grinned.

"Call him Brother Zheng!"

Anna paused for a moment.

"Brother Zheng?"

"Hey! Good girl, have some milk candy! It's so milky!"

As he spoke, Zheng Jing jumped down in front of Anna, squatted down, grabbed a handful of Golden Monkey milk candies from his backpack, and stuffed them into Anna's hand.

"Thank you... Uh! No! Handsome guy—Brother Zheng! I'm sorry! But now is really not the time for candy, I'll put the candy away—"

"I understand, I'm in a hurry."

Zheng Jing patted Anna's head: "It's okay, you don't need to explain too much to me. Right now, I only need to know three things."

"Where to? Who to save? How many?"

"If these three things are still unclear, you can come with me, Old Zheng, and help me find the way and recognize the people, okay?"

Seeing Anna nod vigorously, as if she wanted to shake her little head off, Zheng Jing didn't hesitate. He reached out and picked her up in his arms, then leaped up and ascended into the air on golden clouds.

As soon as it took off, Zheng Jing noticed an iceberg rising abruptly from the ground in the distance.

"Anna, is it over there?"

Zheng Jingchong raised his chin.

Clutching his collar tightly, Anna looked up.

"Yes! It's most likely over there!"

Now, in the slums of Lungmen, Anna can't think of anyone else besides Frostnova who could create such a spectacular ice and snow phenomenon.

The fact that Frostnova caused such a commotion likely means that the Yeti Squad has already clashed with the Guard Bureau!

"Okay, from now on, don't speak unless I, Old Zheng, call you, or you might bite your tongue."

Watching the golden trail stretch out into the distance high in the sky and disappear into the horizon, Greythroat couldn't help but ask Amiya, "Who was that? I've never seen him before."

"Actually, this is the first time I've ever seen this either..."

Amiya gently shook her head: "But he seems to be a very capable gentleman, and he's also an acquaintance of Anna's. Perhaps he really can get there before Miss Chen and the others—ah! We need to hurry up and act too!"

"If we can find Miss Chen and the others first, there will still be room for maneuver!"

-

"Let's start with a drink, everyone, to boost morale. What do you say?"

The Yeti, in a lighthearted tone, suggested taking out a pot of fine wine that he had secretly kept hidden away for a long time.

"You little rascal, you've hidden this bottle of wine pretty well, haven't you?"

Smiling and shaking his head, the older yeti stood up: "But it's the perfect time. Alright, let's go."

When Froststar isn't around, this older Yeti usually leads the Yetis on their missions. Since he agrees, none of the Yetis object.

Nobody wanted to object.

After all, this is the last drink before leaving.

"Then, I want one too!"

The youngest Yeti shouted excitedly.

"Didn't you say you don't like strong liquor? This is—"

The older yeti instinctively wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a taller yeti pressing down on his shoulder: "Let him do it, it's alright."

"Just drink less."

The yeti with its gentle voice echoed this sentiment.

"...That's true."

The older snowman chuckled and said, "Bring your water bottle over too!"

"Great!"

In some narrow alleyways, the Yetis sat together.

In front of me is strong liquor, behind me is solid ice.

Strong liquor and solid ice were the last gifts from family members.

That iceberg, tens of meters high, was a barrier that Froststar built while she was in a coma.

The Yetis weren't sure how long the barrier would hold off the black-robed assassins, but they figured they could hold it for the time it would take to share a drink.

"Sorry, Ms. Felin from Rhodes Island, it seems we won't have a chance to have a drink together..."

"How about having a drink with Mr. Zheng Jing, who just arrived?"

The unfamiliar voices made the Yetis all stand up and follow the sound—

"Everyone in the Yeti Squad!"

Before Zheng Jing could even land, Anna was already waving her hands and shouting, meeting the astonished gaze of the Yeti.

"A little girl from Rhodes Island?!"

The older Yeti recognized Anna at a glance.

After all, it's a relationship that's already been compromised.

Moreover, Anna's skillful Originium Arts, which seemed inconsistent with her appearance, also left a deep impression on him.

As soon as Zheng Jing put Anna down and her feet touched the ground, before Anna could even utter a sound, the older yeti suddenly shouted, "What are you doing here! Get out of here!!"

Anna was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

"You—Rhodes Island guy, the situation is urgent, so let's skip the introductions. How many people can you carry with you in your Originium Arts? Can you bring one more?"

With a quick glance, the older yeti looked at Zheng Jing, then grabbed the youngest yeti and said, "Don't let his appearance fool you, he's actually quite thin. Without his equipment, he won't weigh much more than a little girl. Please, take him with you and get out of here, quick!"

"I don't want to!"

Before Zheng Jingying could speak, the youngest Yeti cried out and struggled, "I want to be with everyone!"

"Listen to me! Before, it would have been difficult to escape even if we tried, but now that we have a guy who can fly, maybe we can help our older sister!"

The older Yeti's words made the youngest Yeti choke.

"Hey, stop arguing, stop arguing. I see, I think I understand now."

With a wave of his hand, Zheng Jing squatted down, took Anna's hand, and said to her with a smile, "Little sister, you wait here with them, I, Old Zheng, will be right back."

"......Um."

"Good sister."

Satisfied, Zheng Jing stood up and, in front of all the Yetis, vanished without a trace.

Chapter 273: You think you can beat me?

Between the old buildings in the slums, shadowy figures moved silently.

If the Guard Bureau is Lungmen's sturdy shield and sharp spear shining brightly under the sunlight...

These black-clad shadow guards were Wei Yanwu's swift blades hidden in the deepest darkness of Longmen.

Precise, swift, and silent.

The barrier erected by Froststar did indeed slow down the Black-Cloaked Shadow Guards, forcing them, who always valued efficiency, to choose to detour around the sides of the iceberg to avoid direct contact with the dangerous cold.

But this could only delay the Black-Cloaked Men for a short while.

Even if they choose to take a detour, these silent, swift blades will never lose track of their mission target.

—That's how it should be.

"Boom!"

The dull thud indicated the fall of a man in a black cloak.

The Shadow Guard, who moved freely between buildings like a crow, was suddenly shot down.

Amidst the smoke and dust, two sharp blades, one on the left and one on the right, pierced through the air, sealing off the enemy's escape route.

The Black-Cloaked Shadow Guards were all skilled in coordinated attacks; taking advantage of the moment their comrade was struck, they intended to kill the sudden attacker on the spot.

"when!"

The Black-Cloaked Shadow Guards' combined attack technique was indeed superb; the two of them wielded two swords, yet when they struck, there was almost only a crisp sound.

Immediately, a pair of strong arms reached out and grabbed the heads of the two men in black cloaks with lightning speed, then slammed their palms together!

"Hey!"

The metal masks worn by the men in black cloaks shattered, and the surging internal force in their palms shook their resolute souls.

After loosening his grip, without looking at the two men in black cloaks who had fainted and fallen to the ground, Zheng Jing raised his eyes and looked around.

This rooftop is now completely bustling with activity.

Besides the three lying at his feet, there were now six men in black cloaks surrounding him.

The men in black raincoats reacted quickly.

It took less than five seconds from when this group of three encountered Zheng Jing to when the other two groups of six in the team arrived at this spot.

In other words, the men in black cloaks knew very well that the unarmed man in front of them had taken less than five seconds to defeat three of their comrades.

"Who are you?"

Such achievements were enough to earn the respect of the Black Cloak Shadow Guards.

The leader in the black cloak spoke, but his tone was completely flat, even though he was asking a question.

He was an unfamiliar face, his clothing had no distinguishing features, and more importantly, none of the men in black cloaks present had any information about him whatsoever.

If it's easily defeated, that's fine.

The problem is, the three comrades lying on the ground are now the most vulnerable.

"He never changes his name or surname, Zheng Jing."

Zheng Jing.

The men in black raincoats fell silent.

This means that none of them had ever heard of this name.

"...Are you from Rhodes Island?"

After thinking it over, the leader in black believed this was the most likely outcome.

If the Reunion Movement truly had such a powerful figure infiltrate Lungmen, then the previous operations of the Guard Bureau could never have progressed so smoothly.

As for whether the other party is from Lungmen, that's even less likely.

"I have friends on Rhodes Island."

"Then don't bother us. This is an internal matter of Longmen. Considering you don't know our identities, leave quickly and we will not pursue the matter further."

"oops......"

Zheng Jing shook his head: "You are loyal to your masters, while I, Old Zheng, am acting on someone else's behalf. Although the Longmen matter has become a complete mess, let's each stick to our own story for now."
