They were targeting your subordinate, but after Chong Zhen’s defection, Ji Qianqian was unharmed and those two disappeared without a trace.

They might have fled after seeing the situation turn sour, but you should still be more cautious around Ji Qianqian.

This woman, my Divine Sense seems to see through her, yet I also feel that she is boundless as the sea and sky, with no discernible foundation.”

Du Yunlai was very fond of Chu Xisheng.

This young man had saved the life of his brother-in-law and his nephew.

His willingness to brave great dangers to escort the Zuo family father and son from far away also showed his generous and righteous heart.

This was a man worth befriending.

Du Yunlai did not want Chu Xisheng to be harmed by his own subordinate.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng’s mind shuddered, and he glanced in Ji Qianqian’s direction.

He was secretly alarmed—was Ji Qianqian’s foundation truly indiscernible even to Du Yunlai?

Ji Qianqian was already standing in front of her room door.

Sensing Chu Xisheng’s gaze, she turned her head suspiciously and looked back, “Hall Master, is there something you need?”

“Not at all, not at all!”

Chu Xisheng shook his head, with a reassuring smile, “Qianqian, you’ve worked hard today.

Rest well.

I’m a bit tight on money right now, but once I manage to sell the Magic Artifacts we seized, I’ll give you a red envelope.”

Today Ji Qianqian had killed those Seventh Rank officers from the He’an County Naval Camp.

When Chong Zhen left, he took the corpses along with their Magic Artifacts and money, leaving Ji Qianqian with nothing.

So according to the rules, Chu Xisheng owed Ji Qianqian an extra red envelope.

While speaking, he opened the Martial Arts Treasure Vault.

Chu Xisheng casually refreshed it, and indeed, a ‘Near Ink Taint Divine Power Card (Fifth Grade)’ appeared again.

Chu Xisheng decisively exchanged for it, then marked it for Ji Qianqian’s use.

Ji Qianqian was oblivious.

She secretly scoffed, thinking that this guy was really a miser, unable to even give out a red envelope.

If she were truly Ji Qianqian, why would she foolishly pledge allegiance to West Mountain Hall?

Being a Seventh Grade Divine Shooter, which wealthy and prominent family in East State would not compete to recruit her?

Yet Ji Qianqian showed no abnormal reaction on her face, she appropriately displayed a bit of anticipation, “Hall Master, you should also rest well.

The red envelope can wait.”

The implication was that the red envelope could be delayed, but it must be given.

This money, she would not refuse if it was free.

As Ji Qianqian pushed the door open and closed it, she leaned back against the door with slightly furrowed brows.

For some reason, she found herself increasingly fond of Chu Xisheng.

Sometimes the intelligence, breadth of mind, and demeanor he displayed made her deeply admire him.

Ji Qianqian felt that if this man’s cultivation could rise to the Second Grade, he would undoubtedly be a peerless hero of the era.

Even her brother, who held the prestigious position of the Heavenly Court Commander in the Police Pool of Blood, could not compare to him.

Meanwhile, in Heluo Two States.

More and more copies of the ‘Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ were entering the market through various channels.

Coinciding with the announcement of ‘Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding’ lists by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, this edition of the Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual was selling exceptionally well, with demand far exceeding supply.

The bars and tea houses in the capital were all packed, with countless patrons discussing the listed individuals with excited expressions and a heated atmosphere.

Among them, Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers, Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Swordsmen, and Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Spear garnered the most attention.

Swords and sabers are the most commonly used weapons among Jianghu people, with sixty percent of the masters on the Heavenly List and Earthly List mainly using these weapons.

Those in the military often use spears, including spears, lances, and pikes, all categorized under the same grouping.

There are also countless masters who use these kinds of weapons.

Therefore, these three lists were the hottest topics.

However, as time went on, the topic gradually shifted to the person placed at the end of ‘Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Sabers’ list.

In a ‘Huilin Tea House’ in the southern part of the capital, numerous Martial Cultivators and Jianghu Travellers were gathered.

“I know the other nine on Shenxiu’s Ten Outstanding Sabers list, but who is this Chu Xisheng ranked tenth?”

“I know him, he is twenty-ninth on the East State Qingyun List.”

“East State?

Really from the south?

This is interesting, the previous editions of Shenxiu Ten Outstanding Sabers were all Northern and Heluo people, and now suddenly a Southerner appears.”

“This ranking is a bit too low, right?

He hasn’t even made it into the top ten of the local Qingyun List.

Aren’t there other young saber masters in the present times to include him?”

“Speaking of young saber masters, there are many here in Capital alone.

Such as Tie Xiu Luo Si Huangquan, Divine Swallow Saber Li Xiu, Mad Blade Wang Ming, etc., either selected for the Qingyun General List or among the top ten figures of Heluo Two States and Capital Qingyun List, each one stringer than Chu Xisheng.”

“The ‘Heavenly Mechanism Martial Arts Manual’ has always been fair, there must be a reason for Chu Xisheng’s selection.

Perhaps East State Martial Arts Tower underestimated Chu Xisheng.

Doesn’t it say here?

This man was invincible at the Ninth Grade in East State and had once defeated Si Huangquan.”

As everyone loudly discussed, in a tea room on the second floor of Huilin Tea House, brothers Hu Kan and Hu Lai were drenched in cold sweat.

Even though it was a time of late spring cold, their heavy clothes were soaked through, and large beads of sweat formed on their foreheads.

Distracted, Hu Lai sipped his tea, but found the tea in his mouth scalding.

He spit it back out and with a wry smile, turned to Hu Kan sitting opposite him, “Brother, we’re in a tricky situation this time.

I never expected Brother Chu to come to the capital at this moment.”
