Kapitel 3

"Mei'er, my Mei'er, you're so foolish! Why did you jump into the river? Waaah~~~~~ It's all that beast Lin Bao's fault! My poor Mei'er, you scared me to death." Mei'er's mother pulled her daughter from Bai Qianqian's arms and hugged her tightly, crying bitterly.

"Mother, I'm sorry, don't worry, I'm fine now." Mei'er comforted her mother while glancing shyly at Bai Qianqian.

"Oh, thanks to the two gentlemen!" The woman remembered her daughter's saviors and quickly thanked Bai Qianqian and Feiying, even kneeling down in gratitude.

"No, no, please get up, ma'am. I can't accept this!" Bai Qianqian was fully in character, politely helping the woman up. So those onlookers were afraid of offending Lin Bao. Is Lin Bao really that powerful? Then I really should test my skills against him; it would be doing a service to the people.

“My benefactors. How can I possibly repay you? If you don’t mind, please come and rest at my house. I see you’re not from around here, so it might be inconvenient for you. Please make yourself at home. You must come!” The woman bowed several times.

"Well... alright, then I'll accept your offer!" Since we can't find an inn anyway, we'll just have to make do for now.

Upon arriving at the women's house, they learned that they ran a small business. A few months prior, Mei'er's father had passed away, and she had only begun working as a prostitute to make a living. Unexpectedly, this attracted the covetous eyes of Lin Bao, who repeatedly came to harass her, which Mei'er endured each time. Today, they met by the bridge, and Lin Bao actually tried to forcibly take her back as his concubine. In a stalemate, Mei'er, in desperation, jumped into the river…

"Damn it! He just drove someone to jump into the river, and now he's acting like nothing happened and going off to harass other women. This guy is hopeless! I should have killed him earlier!" Bai Qianqian was furious.

"Master, should I go?" Flying Eagle asked in a low voice, his voice laced with anger. Although he had been an assassin, he had his own principles—he would not kill the elderly, the weak, women, or children. He was also furious at Lin Bao's actions.

"No, I want to teach him a lesson myself, and then you can deliver the final blow, how about that?" Bai Qianqian's hands were itching; it had been a long time since she'd done it...

"Yes!" Flying Eagle nodded.

"Thank you so much, benefactor, for helping us avenge ourselves and ridding the people of Xiangyang of this scourge!" Mei'er and her daughter knelt down excitedly.

Chapter Eight Crisis

The next morning, after breakfast, Bai Qianqian changed into a coarse men's outfit and went out with Feiying, who was also disguised, to rid the people of this menace. They had already found out about Lin Bao the day before. They knew he usually collected protection money on the busiest street in Xiangyang at this time of month. They decided to follow him and find a place to deal with him. After all, they didn't want to get involved with the authorities, so it was best to keep a low profile.

"That bastard, what's he doing going to a brothel in broad daylight?" Bai Qianqian saw Lin Bao and his men wander into a brothel. So the two of them sat down at a tea stall next to it and drank tea.

"Hey, have you heard? The Jin army is rampant lately and is about to launch a major attack on our Great Song Dynasty. All the heroes from the martial arts world have recently gathered at Lengyue Manor in Yingtian Prefecture to elect a capable leader to help the court fight against the foreign enemy." Someone at the next table loudly shared his gossip.

"I've heard that most of the elders and sect leaders from the major sects in the martial arts world have already left. I heard that the Wuya Sect is also involved." The person next to him continued to reveal more information, seemingly unconvinced.

"What? Isn't the Boundless Cult a cult? What are they involved in?" one person asked in surprise.

"I don't know. How would we, insignificant people, know what they're up to?" The man finished speaking and took a sip of tea.

"I wonder when this world will ever be at peace," one of them murmured, before going off to drink his tea.

“Cold Moon Manor, that sounds familiar, where have I heard of it before?” Something flashed through Bai Qianqian’s mind.

"That's the number one manor in the world, holding a very high position in officialdom, business, and the martial arts world. Even the Emperor has to give it some face. This is because the former manor lord, Leng Mei, once saved the late Emperor's life by chance and was granted the title of Right Wise King, which was hereditary. A few days ago, Leng Mei suddenly passed away, and the current manor lord, Leng Haotian, has officially inherited the title of Right Wise King. It's not surprising that you've heard of it, Master," Flying Eagle explained in detail.

How could I not be surprised? I'm not from around here. "Oh!" I remember now, when I contacted Xiao Ke last time, he said that the person he rescued last time was Madam Leng of Lengyue Manor. Bai Qianqian was lost in thought, completely unaware that the loud noise she had just made had attracted the attention of passersby.

"Ahem... Master?" Flying Eagle couldn't stand the stares. He always hid in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to kill. Since following Bai Qianqian, he had become the center of attention countless times.

"Oh, it's alright, it's alright. Let's go to Cold Moon Manor as soon as we finish this!" Bai Qianqian couldn't help but get excited at the thought of meeting martial arts masters and cult organizations.

"Yes." Flying Eagle responded, then frowned slightly. "Why hasn't Lin Bao come out yet? I feel something's off." With his years of assassin intuition, he sensed something was amiss.

"He's probably fallen into a den of women, that lecherous bastard." Bai Qianqian snorted coldly, not taking it seriously.

After waiting for about half an hour, Bai Qianqian couldn't sit still any longer. "That bastard, why isn't he coming out yet? So frustrating!"

"There might be a trap." Although he hadn't heard any new words from Bai Qianqian, Fei Ying remained expressionless. However, when he sensed something ominous, his face darkened.

A group of men in black surrounded them, and instantly, the surrounding people scattered and hid. A minute later, only the group of men in black and Bai Qianqian and her companions remained on the street.

"Hmph, Flying Eagle, do you think you can escape the pursuit of the Hall of Death? You were lucky to escape last time, but you won't be so lucky this time. Attack!" After the leader in black finished speaking, the black-clad men around him charged forward in a well-trained manner.

"Hmph!" Bai Qianqian let out a soft exclamation and quickly dodged left and right, trying to take advantage of the opponent's openings to launch a counterattack, but she couldn't find an opportunity to strike. They were too fast!

Bai Qianqian withdrew from the battle. Fortunately, the attack wasn't aimed at her; most of the enemies were focused on dealing with Flying Eagle. However, one man in black still attacked her.

One person, barely enough. Bai Qianqian did a backflip, rolled to the side, casually pressed her wrist, and took out her personal weapon, a miniature laser gun. She fired at the black-clad man who was thrusting at her with a sword. A beam of red light shot out, and with a cry of "Ah!", the black-clad man immediately fell to the ground.

The black-clad man's screams drew the attention of the others. The leader of the black-clad men glanced at Bai Qianqian, and three others swiftly attacked. At this moment, Flying Eagle had already dealt with two assassins. Five others were still fighting him, and Flying Eagle's arm was slashed, blood flowing freely. He wanted to protect Bai Qianqian, but he couldn't break free.

Taking advantage of the moment when the men in black approached, Bai Qianqian calmly fired three shots in quick succession, and two men fell to the ground. Another man dodged the attack and threw a string of darts at Bai Qianqian.

"Thud!" A dart pierced her waist. Bai Qianqian dodged the other darts and, enduring the pain, fired at the man in black. Finally, before collapsing herself, she saw the man in black fall first, then her vision went black, and she fainted. She vaguely heard someone's anxious shouts and the sounds of metal clashing in a fight.

Chapter Nine: A Glimmer of Hope

"It's so cold..." Bai Qianqian lay on a large bed, shivering slightly. The endless cold seemed impossible to warm her up.

"Liu Xiao, how is she?" Flying Eagle frowned slightly, extremely unwilling to see her sad.

“You know how potent this icy poison is. Although I’ve researched antidotes, I didn’t bring one with me today. There’s no time to prepare another one. In two more hours, she…” The young man standing by the bed, having just checked Bai Qianqian’s condition, turned to Fei Ying with deep regret. “I… I’m powerless. I can only delay the onset of the poison by two more hours.” A look of helplessness and remorse clouded his refined and handsome face.

"Who exactly is she?" How could anyone make Flying Eagle show such anxiety? Based on his five-year friendship with Flying Eagle, he judged her to be an important person to him.

“She saved my life and is now my master. I serve her.” Flying Eagle stared at Bai Qianqian’s tightly furrowed brows, feeling an immense panic he had never experienced before.

We can't just wait here! Flying Eagle turned and walked out.

"What are you doing! Don't do anything foolish!" Liu Xiao shouted anxiously. "You're not in good condition either! Don't go and get yourself killed!"

He happened to be passing by the place where they were fighting and inadvertently saw Flying Eagle, covered in blood, battling two men in black. He immediately recognized that the two men in black were also from the Absolute Killing Hall, yet he still bravely intervened to break the fight. He knew that if you offended the Absolute Killing Hall, you would be relentlessly hunted down until death, with no mercy given to your relatives and friends. He had been raised by his master, the Strange Doctor, since childhood and had few friends. Five years ago, while traveling with his master to Xixia to seek medicine, they encountered the Three Evils of Jizhou seeking medical help. His master's principle of not treating evil people angered them, and he was brutally murdered. If Flying Eagle hadn't passed by in time, his life would have ended five years ago. To avoid following in his master's footsteps, he began to teach himself martial arts. Fortunately, although his master wasn't a master of martial arts, he had collected many secret martial arts manuals, and his own martial arts talent was not bad either; in the past five years, he had made some progress. After dealing with the men in black, Flying Eagle also fainted from blood loss. Before passing out, he resolutely pointed at Bai Qianqian lying on the ground, "Save her, you must save her!" Unfortunately, he was ultimately powerless to help...

"Even if I die, I will not give up hope of saving her!" With that, Flying Eagle stopped and left without looking back.

Just then, a white light flashed outside the door, and a handsome man fell from the sky.

"Who are you!" Flying Eagle's usually keen senses were completely unable to detect the newcomer's presence; he was like a walking corpse. There was no killing intent, no other special aura. Aside from normal breathing, he was like air, yet possessed unfathomable martial arts skills. It was impossible to sense how he had approached. If he were an enemy, it would be terrifying!

"I've come to save Qianqian," the handsome man said coldly, but Flying Eagle still couldn't sense any emotion. He remained vigilantly blocking the doorway.

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Ke, Bai Qianqian's capable subordinate, bodyguard, and playmate—an all-around robot. "So you're Flying Eagle, now part of Qianqian's Carefree Palace," he said confidently and directly, as if discussing everyday matters. "Look, this is the token of Carefree Palace; I am also a member of Carefree Palace."

"You're Xiao Ke?" Seeing the token, I remembered that Bai Qianqian had indeed mentioned such a person, but not much. She only mentioned at the beginning that the person she went to Yingtian Prefecture to find was Xiao Ke.

"Yes, can I go save her now? I don't want her to suffer anymore." Xiao Ke bypassed the flying eagle and went inside on his own. He had a health sensor inside him, and when he received the message that Qianqian was injured, he activated the protection mode and "flew" over.

"Who is he?" Liu Xiao looked at Fei Ying, who was following behind, with a puzzled expression when he saw the handsome man who had suddenly arrived pick up Bai Qianqian.

"He should be able to save her." Flying Eagle was resolute in his decision; he hoped she was truly alright...

"Please leave, okay? I think Qianqian doesn't want you to see me healing her." Xiao Ke remained cold but polite.

"Are you really that confident?" Liu Xiao was very surprised and doubtful. How could that be?

"Let's go out." Fei Ying didn't want to delay Bai Qianqian's treatment, so he went out first, and Liu Xiao followed him out.

Inside, Xiao Ke placed Bai Qianqian into the newly retrieved treatment coffin and began the detoxification process...

Outdoors, Liu Xiao muttered to himself in confusion, "How is this possible? If she can really be cured, then it's because my skills are lacking." For the first time, Liu Xiao, who was known in the martial arts world as a master healer, doubted whether his medical skills were truly the best in the Central Plains.

"Don't overthink it, she's no ordinary person." Flying Eagle told Liu Xiao about how he was rescued after being seriously injured.

"What! Such a serious injury and poison, and she recovered in half a day? Could she be a fairy descended from heaven?" Liu Xiao was extremely shocked.

"Heh, probably not." Thinking of Qianqian's playful, willful, arrogant, and charming expressions, how could a fairy be like this? Feiying himself didn't even notice the slight smile on his lips.

Seeing Flying Eagle's focused expression, Liu Xiao was also stunned. When did the cold-blooded Flying Eagle actually smile? Had something unforgettable happened during his year-long journey north to Mongolia to collect Tian Shan snow lotus? However, whatever it was, he was genuinely happy for him. Yes, Flying Eagle, you should live for yourself now…

Chapter Ten: Lobbying

"I'm furious!" Two hours later, a powerful, energetic roar echoed from inside the room. "Those assassins are really persistent! They even dared to mess with my Xiaoyao Palace!" These assassins were truly formidable. "This time I was caught off guard, but next time we meet, it will be your death day! Humph!"

He cursed a few times before finally letting out a sigh of relief; otherwise, keeping it bottled up inside would have made him sick.

"Qian... Master, are you alright?" Flying Eagle rushed in anxiously, looking Qianqian up and down.

"It's alright, don't worry. You really are a loyal and good subordinate, hehe, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Qianqian said proudly.

"Subordinate..." For some reason, hearing this title stung Flying Eagle, but he didn't want to delve into it.

"And who is this?" Bai Qianqian's eyes lit up instantly when she saw Liu Xiao, a man in flowing white robes beside Fei Ying, exuding a gentle and humble air. "Hello, may I ask your name? What kind of business do you run? Are you a martial arts practitioner?"

A barrage of questions left Liu Xiao somewhat bewildered, but he still nodded politely: "My name is Liu Xiao, and I am commonly known in the martial arts world as the 'Sacred Healer.'"

"Wow, so you're a miracle doctor? How about joining our Xiaoyao Palace?" If a handsome miracle doctor joined, the Xiaoyao Palace's lineup would be much stronger. Bai Qianqian started daydreaming again.

"This..." This girl is really something else. Does Flying Eagle like this type? Heh, he probably doesn't even realize it yet. I really want to see their drama unfold. With anticipation, Liu Xiao asked, "What are the benefits of joining the Free and Unfettered Palace?"

"Well, there are many benefits. You're a divine doctor, so you'll definitely need to gather herbs. Aren't some places for gathering herbs very dangerous? I can provide a safe and convenient method. Also, I basically won't ask anything of you, and you'll have absolute freedom. Our Free and Unfettered Sect can guarantee your personal safety..." Bai Qianqian rattled off a whole bunch of benefits, making Liu Xiao very tempted.

"If what you said is true, then I will call you Palace Master!" Anyway, I've probably gotten myself into trouble with the Killing Hall, so I might as well look forward to life in the Carefree Palace. Hmm, Carefree Palace, I like the name.

"Really?" Bai Qianqian was still a little incredulous. When did she become so eloquent that she could recruit a miracle doctor so easily?

"You're so straightforward!" Bai Qianqian immediately took out a token from the Xiaoyao Palace and gave one to Liu Xiao. "But please call me Qianqian for now. We can officially establish the sect once we have more people."

“Okay, Qianqian. This material is so unique, I’ve never seen anything like it before.” After examining the exquisitely crafted black peony-patterned keepsake in his hand, Liu Xiao couldn’t help but marvel.

"This is made of tungsten alloy, a secret recipe of our Xiaoyao Sect, not to be shared with outsiders. Oh, and I also want to give you two swords." Bai Qianqian took out two exquisite "wooden sticks" from a bracelet-like compression bag on her wrist and handed them to the two. "They are Vajra swords made of diamond alloy, practically indestructible. They can cut through anything like tofu. Just press this protruding button." Seeing the two's surprised and doubtful eyes, Bai Qianqian said seriously, "You don't believe me? Why don't you try it yourselves?"

The two of them did as instructed—pressing the button. Then they were startled by the sudden appearance of the sword. How amazing! Liu Xiao took out his specially crafted jade flute, steeled his resolve, and swung the sword down. He was actually a little reluctant. However, when the jade flute was sliced off like tofu, he exclaimed in delight, "What a fine sword! Truly a peerless sword!"

Flying Eagle was puzzled once again. This material was impossible to refine. "Who exactly are you?" Flying Eagle asked in his heart, looking at Bai Qianqian.

"Oh right, look at my memory, Flying Eagle, how's your injury?" Bai Qianqian suddenly remembered the scene of Flying Eagle being injured and couldn't help but worry.

"I'm fine now. With Liu Xiao here, you don't need to worry." Fei Ying suppressed his discomfort, not wanting Qianqian to worry about him.

"Okay, that's good. Oh right, we haven't dealt with that bastard Lin Bao yet. Let's go back to Mei'er's first." Bai Qianqian suddenly remembered that she hadn't finished something. Sigh, what a bad memory.

"Xiao Ke, you should go back first, so they won't have any other ideas." Bai Qianqian was really reluctant to part with Xiao Ke; she treated him like family.

"Yes, Qianqian." After saying that, Xiao Ke flew several feet high in a flash and then quickly disappeared into the distance.

This drew another exclamation from Liu Xiao: "Who is he? He's so amazing!"

"Hehe, we have quite a few talented people in our Xiaoyao Palace!" Bai Qianqian said proudly, while also looking forward to the future...

Chapter Eleven: Eliminating Evil

"Mei'er! Mei'er!" Bai Qianqian shouted at the top of her lungs from afar. But the closer she got, the less there was any response from inside the house.

"Strange, isn't she home?" Pushing open the door, she saw a horrifying sight. "Ah!" Bai Qianqian screamed in horror when she saw Mei'er's mother lying in a pool of blood.
