The team kept moving forward and passed most of the canyon without finding anything unusual.

Just when Tang Xian'er thought that Chen Xian had made a misjudgment, a man and a horse appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

"The goods can be left behind, and everyone except the women can leave." The man on horseback twisted his neck, making a crackling sound.

Suddenly, the drivers of the carriages behind abandoned their carriages in panic and fled, leaving only the old butler and Tang Xianer in the team.

The old butler walked forward alone and faced the person who was blocking the way.

Tang Xianer jumped off the carriage and said in horror, "Uncle Zhong, don't get in, run away quickly."

The old butler ignored Tang Xianer's cry, came to the person who was blocking the road, and said something.

The man who blocked the way got off his horse and walked towards Tang Xian'er, while the old butler stood quietly there.

\"Ms. Tang, please give me the ring on your left hand inside your sleeve." The man who stopped the passerby reached out his hand directly.

Tang Xian'er couldn't believe it. She looked at the figure of Uncle Zhong standing in the distance, and then at the person who was blocking the road.

Her teeth were trembling. "Is Uncle Zhong in cahoots with you?"

"Uncle Zhong, how could you betray us? Our Tang family has always treated you well and never treated you as a servant," Tang Xian'er held back the tears in her eyes and questioned the old butler who had watched her grow up.

"Miss, the Tang family is about to fall. You should have promised Master Max before and become the daughter-in-law of Max Chamber of Commerce. Then I would not have made such a choice. Who told you to be so willful? Tang Wan's illness will not live for more than a month. Now you will only be given to Master Max, but you will not have any status, and I will be the new owner of the time-honored store." The old butler said excitedly.

The man who blocked the road reached out to grab Tang Xianer's left hand. At this time, Mantou, who was sleeping in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped down, his head became bigger, opened a huge mouth, and bit off the arm that the man who blocked the road reached out.

The man who blocked the way back quickly, covered his broken arm wound, and looked at the black Shar Pei dog in front of Tang Xian'er with fear, "What is this?"

Tang Xian'er also looked at the honest Mantou with surprise. She couldn't imagine that it was this little dog that had just bitten off the other's arm.

"Old man, didn't you say that the only guard ran away halfway and posed no threat? How come there is still such a terrifying monster?" The man who blocked the way retreated angrily to the old butler and questioned.

The old butler looked at the broken arm of the man who blocked the road, then looked at the puppy, with a puzzled look on his face. "This is just an ordinary puppy left by the guard. It has been sleeping in the carriage all the way. Don't worry, there is a level 3 expert arranged by Master Max following behind."

"Oh, are you talking about the swordsman with the bamboo hat? He probably can't keep up."

Chen Xian walked slowly from behind the team, playing with a bamboo hat in his hand. He came to Tang Xianer.

Looking at Tang Xian'er with tears in her eyes, he said, "Well, what you want to protect is actually not worth it."

Tang Xianer looked at Chen Xian deeply and said, "Thank you. Please get rid of them. I will reward you handsomely when I return."

Chen Xian squatted down and stroked Mantou's head, and it looked very happy.

"A generous reward? Are you prepared to give yourself to me?" Chen Xian joked.

Tang Xian'er was not angry, instead she smiled and said, "As long as you want, it's not impossible to pledge your love to me."

"No, no, I don't deserve it. How did you know that I would help you?" Chen Xian asked the question in his mind. This woman was quite scheming. She saw that everyone was hiring at a high price, so she deliberately offered a low price. She also told the old housekeeper at the recruitment site that the money was not enough. She just wanted to find a capable and compassionate guard.

"I just think you look like a good person," Tang Xian'er smiled gently.

"You act like a good person, and your whole family act like good people. Mantou, swallow those who block the way, and leave the old ones behind." Chen Xian cursed angrily and ordered Mantou to take action.

Mantou suddenly turned into three hellhounds five or six meters tall. Amid Tang Xian'er's surprise and the old housekeeper's horror, they tore the person who blocked their way into three pieces and swallowed them into their mouths. Then they turned back into the appearance of small black Shar-Pei dogs, trotting all the way to Chen Xian, wagging their tails to their master to seek credit, without any ferocious look of wanting to eat a living person.

Chen Xian slowly walked towards the old housekeeper and smiled, "Uncle Zhong, did you miss me?"

The old butler looked at Chen Xian's smile and felt extremely terrified.

"Who are you?"

"Don't worry about this. Just leave the things you came here to find." Chen Xian said lightly while stroking the kitten in his arms.

"How do you know? The thing is not with me." The old butler denied it in horror.

While the two were talking, Tang Xian'er had already walked behind Chen Xian. After hearing their conversation, she shouted at the old housekeeper: "Did you really hide the things? That is the only key to my father's recovery."

At this moment, the old man, who had a look of fear on his face, suddenly exploded and pounced directly towards Tang Xianer.

Just as he grabbed Tang Xian'er and showed a surprised smile, his expression froze instantly. He looked down at his chest, where a palm pierced through.

Chen Xianchai wiped the blood off his hands and said calmly, "I said I hate fighting and killing, but you forced me to do it."

Chen Xian and Tang Xian'er were the only ones left in the empty canyon. Tang Xian'er involuntarily took a step back.

Chen Xian saw her actions and said helplessly: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in beautiful women. Bah, I'm interested in beautiful women."

The more she described, the worse it got. However, Tang Xian'er took off her mask, revealing a fresh, refined, and incomparably beautiful face in front of Chen Xian, and she said in a tender voice.

"Xian'er thanks you for rescuing me. If you like me, I am willing to marry you to repay your kindness." Tang Xian'er looked pitiful.

Chen Xian shook his head. He didn't believe that a woman who was looked down upon even by the young master of a first-class chamber of commerce in the empire would be willing to give herself to him just because he rescued her. A woman who could regain her composure in such a short time was definitely not a weak woman.

"No, I have always disliked the Max Chamber of Commerce's style. I saved you because I wanted to cooperate with you. As long as you are willing, I can make Tang's Company a company that can fight against the Max Chamber of Commerce."

Chen Xian squatted down and took off the ring from the old butler's body.

Tang Xian'er's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said in a normal tone: "Max Chamber of Commerce is a first-class chamber of commerce in the empire. Why doesn't Master Dongri find a partner with equal strength?"

"Because I need an alchemist." Chen Xian stared at Tang Xian'er's beautiful eyes and said with a playful look on his face.
