Li Pingping was not embarrassed at all to be looked down upon by Luluo. After all, his cultivation was at this level now. He was not as good as most people, and he had gotten used to it.

Li Pingping did not speed up along the way because of the assassination attempt last night. For him, being assassinated might not be a bad thing.

It would take at least three days to get from here to Andong City. Because Li Pingping and his group were following them, Zeng Wenyu did not teach Zhang Qing anymore. The two of them just followed them while chatting privately.

The sun at noon is very scorching, and there are basically no pedestrians on the road at this time. Everyone hides in the shade of the trees on the roadside to cool off. Some people have even set up herbal tea stalls and started selling herbal tea on the roadside to make money.

"Boss! Thirteen bowls of herbal tea!" In such a hot sun, Li Pingping didn't want to hurry on, so he walked to a herbal tea stall on the side of the road and asked the boss to serve them some herbal tea.

"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir!" The owner of the tea stand was very enthusiastic and soon brought over thirteen bowls of tea. "It's thirteen cents in total, sir!"

Li Pingping felt around and took out about twenty coins from his pocket. He didn't count them and gave them to the boss. "Okay, the extra money is a tip. It's not easy for you to boil water for herbal tea in such a hot day."

"Thank you, sir!" The boss happily took the money and said, "If it's not enough, I can add more water."

Li Pingping took the herbal tea from the boss and was about to drink it up to relieve the unbearable heat and scorching heat when the soldier leader standing next to him reached out and stopped his hand.

"Master, don't worry. I'll drink first. If there's nothing else, you can drink later!"

Although Li Pingping's throat was already a little sour, he still nodded when he saw the determination on the soldier leader's face.

The soldier leader drank the herbal tea in his hand and smacked his lips a few times: "I have to say, this herbal tea is quite delicious."

Li Pingping looked at the soldier leader with a smile on his face. Not only did he not let him drink, but he also smacked his lips in front of him. Not only did he smack his lips, but he also said that the herbal tea tasted good? He immediately had the idea of ​​replacing the soldier leader. Although he was responsible, he was a fool!

After waiting for almost five minutes, Li Pingping finally drank the herbal tea in his hand as he wished. The originally warm herbal tea was no longer warm, and he could only taste the bitter taste of the medicinal herbs.

Li Pingping put the bowl in his hand on the stove with a bitter face. Although this bowl of herbal tea quenched his thirst, the bitter taste kept lingering in his mouth and he felt unwell.

Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing had finished drinking the herbal tea long ago. Zeng Wenyu did not hesitate at all from the moment the herbal tea was served. His body was immune to toxins below the high-level spiritual herbs. This herbal tea was only made from low-level herbs, so he was naturally not afraid.

Zhang Qing was naturally not afraid either. When she left home, her father stuffed a lot of things into her hands, including more than a dozen bottles of top-grade antidotes. Not to mention low-level herbs, she would not be afraid even of poisons made from high-level spiritual herbs.

"How about we go and have a fight while everyone is taking a break?" Zhang Qing suggested in a low voice.

"It's noon now, aren't you afraid of getting a heat stroke?"

"What are you afraid of? I don't believe you would be afraid of such a small temperature."

"Okay, okay, then let's tell Li Pingping, it's in the woods over there, how about that?"

Zhang Qing nodded, and the two of them greeted Li Pingping and walked towards the depths of the woods opposite.

Seeing Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing disappear into the grove, Li Pingping whispered to the leader of the soldiers, "Laolang, you think Gao Yi and the others are going into the grove to do something? Should we follow them secretly and see what's going on?"

"Master, didn't Brother Gao and Miss Zhang say that they were going to compete in martial arts? A martial arts competition is a very private matter. They didn't invite us, so it's better for us not to go."

Looking at the old man speaking righteously, Li Pingping could only helplessly sit back on the bench in the herbal tea shop.

The grove was not deep and was able to block everyone's view because the trees were dense and lush enough. Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing were fighting here.

Neither of them used their skills to fight, but relied solely on their physical strength. If Zhang Qing did not know enough martial arts, Zeng Wenyu would have restrained his strength and Zhang Qing would have lost when they just started fighting.

Zeng Wenyu used Tai Chi, and his left and right hands directed Zhang Qing's attacks to the side. No matter how powerful Zhang Qing's attacks were, even if she had reserved the strength to change her moves, with Zeng Wenyu's hands constantly leveraging force and attraction, she felt like a leaf blown by the wind, and never moved according to her own ideas.

"I'm not going to fight anymore! I'm not going to fight anymore!" After about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Qing sat on the ground in an ungraceful manner. She found that no matter how hard she tried, her attacks could never touch Zeng Wenyu's body and could only be led away by his hands. She simply admitted defeat.

Seeing Zhang Qing sitting on the ground without any image, Zeng Wenyu also walked over to sit next to her: "Are you really admitting defeat this time?"

"Of course, I tried my best but couldn't touch you. Your martial arts are really strong. What I learned is not even on the same level as your Tai Chi. No wonder you are so strong without using any mental skills."

Zeng Wenyu had no way of telling Zhang Qing that this Tai Chi was brought from another world. He could only tell her that he would complete the technique in the future.

Two people were sitting under a tree to rest. The sun was shining brightly, and Li Pingping and the others would not leave. Although there were some dangers in the woods, both of them had strong bodies, so they did not walk out of the cool woods.

"rustle……"

There was a sudden sound from the shadows of the trees above her head. There was not even a breeze here, and the treetops made a rustling sound, which was obviously wrong. Zhang Qing raised her head to look at the treetops.

"What seems to be in the tree canopy?"

Zhang Qing pointed in the direction of the treetops above her head. There seemed to be a figure there.

Zeng Wenyu had better eyesight. He looked in the direction Zhang Qing pointed and saw a man there. He was wearing all black and lying on a branch. The rustling sound was made by him moving on the treetops.

Climbing up the tree along the trunk, he saw the person on the treetop. It was a man in night clothes, lying on a branch to rest, with his left hand covering his right shoulder and a look of pain on his face.

When Zeng Wenyu saw this man, he was sure that this was the assassin from last night. He did not expect to meet this assassin here.
