One Person: Revitalize the Sword Sect, Start with the Sword Challenge of the Ten Lords

Xu San was lying in bed playing a mobile game when a sudden, urgent knock on the door interrupted his immersive experience. "Who is it so late at night..." he thought to himself, but he had to open the door to check.

When he opened the door, he saw Xu Si standing there with a big smile on his face. Before he could ask what was going on, Xu Si took the initiative to speak: "San'er! There's something fun going on again! Hurry up and get ready, we're leaving to carry out this special mission!"

Seeing Xu Si's mysterious yet unconcealed excitement, Xu San frowned and asked, "What on earth is going on that would make you want to leave me alone right now? And it doesn't look very safe..."

Seeing this, Xu Si suggested they sit down in the living room for a chat, and he explained in detail the specifics of the recent order and the potential risks. "The target this time is Chen Duo, as I remember telling you. The company just called, urging us to take action, so I'm feeling a bit stressed right now. I should mention there's a substantial bonus waiting for you afterward, what do you think?"

Xu Si took a sip of tea, looked at Xu San, who was frowning, and said, "San'er, do you know why the company sent us to arrest Chen Duo?"

Xu San shook his head. "I don't know. What kind of background does she have? She actually caused such a big fuss in the company."

"This woman is no ordinary woman," Xu Si put down his teacup and said solemnly, "Old Liao, the manager of our company, suddenly disappeared a few days ago. Now it's confirmed that she killed him."

Hearing this, Xu San stood up suddenly, his face full of surprise. "Old Liao is dead? How...how is this possible?"

"Don't be so loud." Xu Si made a hushed gesture. "This matter hasn't been made public yet. Right now, the whole situation is a mess. That's why we're so anxious to find someone to take over."

He paused, then continued, "It's said that a special mission was given to Lao Liao, but they didn't expect something to go wrong during the execution. As for the specifics, I guess you can only tell me after you meet me."

"So what should we do now?" After the initial shock, Xu San began to adjust his state quickly, trying to find a breakthrough from the current situation.

"Let's wait and see how the other temporary workers fare. They were also brought here temporarily." At this point, Xu Si revealed a sly smile. "Anyway, the mission rewards are very generous. We'll just have to act accordingly."

As the two were talking, there was a gentle knock on the door. Xu San and Xu Si exchanged glances, and then Xu Si stood up and walked to the door to open it. A man in casual clothes with a sharp look appeared before him. Behind him were two young men in similar attire.

"Are you the boss here?" the leading man asked in a gentle but unquestionable tone.

"Yes, I am Xu Si. May I ask who are you?" Xu Si asked.

The man handed him some credentials, indicating they were special agents. "Call me Clarinet. For the next while, we'll be working closely with you to track down our target, Chen Duo."

After entering the living room and sitting down, the three of them explained the general situation to Xiao Li and the others again. When they talked about Lao Liao's murder, everyone present showed unusual expressions - it was obvious that this was not a simple incident.

"In that case, let's first learn about the area surrounding Biyou Village," Hei Guan'er suggested, pulling out a map and opening his tablet to look up information. "How much do you know about Chen Duo? We need to gather as many clues as possible so we can formulate a plan of action."

A heated discussion ensued, the atmosphere growing increasingly heated yet tense. Everyone seemed to have their own plans and agenda, yet no one could foresee the thrilling story that would unfold next...

"I have an informant here who may be able to find out more inside information." Xu San suggested.

"Okay, let's do that. But please be careful. Your own safety is paramount." Black Tube nodded. "If there aren't any special circumstances, we'll proceed according to this plan."

"Don't worry, I'm quite good at this kind of thing." After saying this, Xu San stood up and prepared to go out.

......

Late at night, the moonlight, like silver, gently casts a shadow over the stream in Biyou Village, creating ripples. A gentle breeze brings a touch of coolness. Chen Duo squats by the stream, gently cupping the clear water in her palms and gently lapping it against her cheeks. Droplets of water slide down her arms, creating ripples on the surface.

She looked up at her reflection in the water, her eyes filled with both determination and complexity. Recalling the scenes from her previous battle with Ye Lin, Chen Duo couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions. Especially when she felt the unusual power fluctuations from him, she felt even more yearning. "If only..." she muttered to herself, "If only I could possess that kind of power."

Just then, a few subtle noises suddenly rang out in the distance, shattering the night's stillness. This immediately alerted Chen Duo, but she didn't immediately show any signs of nervousness or panic. Instead, she remained quietly, as if wanting to see what was going on. Not long after, a tall figure quietly appeared not far from the shore—it was Ye Lin, the man Chen Duo had been searching for all those days.

Seeing him finally appear, Chen Duo was delighted but pretended to be calm and slowly stood up: "You are finally here."

Ye Lin looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of him, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. "I didn't expect to meet you here. You're still up so late, are you waiting for me?"

"Yes." She answered directly, without trying to hide it. "Ever since we fought that day, I've been wanting to see you again."

"Oh?" Ye Lin smiled slightly, as if he was a little curious about this. "Really? Wasn't that exciting enough that day? Or is it my power that has interested you?"

"What are you talking about?" Despite her protest, she was genuinely drawn to his strength and hoped to gain a deeper understanding, perhaps even master that special ability. "Actually, I have something to ask of you... You know there's a special energy hidden within your body, right? It makes me feel magical and powerful."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's face, which had been smiling playfully, suddenly turned serious. "It's true. But that power is hard to control." He even deliberately released some energy fluctuations to show Chen Duo.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure that threatened to tear the air apart, Chen Duo remained calm. "I know this is difficult... but I believe with enough time and effort, I can find a way. So please help me."
