The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Mu Xiyue couldn't help but speculate, "Do you think blacksmiths have disappeared elsewhere as well? Assuming these blacksmiths were kidnapped by the same group of people, why did they kidnap the blacksmiths? Obviously, they were after the blacksmiths' skills. If they were after money, they could just kidnap the son of a wealthy businessman."

The secret guard who investigated the disappearance of the town's blacksmith came back and found that the situation was similar to that in Yunyou City. He lured the blacksmith with high wages and said he was going to Minzhou. He had been missing for a year and a half, which was even longer than the time the blacksmith in Yunyou City disappeared.

Xiao Yibai thought for a moment and instructed Qiyun, "Send a message to Qifeng and ask him to check if there are any blacksmiths missing in other places. Starting from Minzhou, spread out and search the surrounding prefectures and towns."

Qiyun responded and made arrangements. After having lunch in the town, Xiao Yibai did not rush to Xitongzhou. He walked around and got to know the lives of the people here. He arrived in Xitongzhou city before dark.

A secret guard had booked an inn in Xitong City in advance. Mu Xiyue felt that this was much more convenient than going out alone.

Xitong City is also prosperous, and its folk customs are not much different from those of Shangjing City. The ancient streets are just like that, and after seeing them for a long time, you won’t be very interested.

Xiao Yibai dispatched all his secret guards; assassins generally wouldn't target a place like an inn in the city. Nothing else unusual happened in Xitong City, but a blacksmith had been found missing. It was now certain that the disappearances of these blacksmiths were all related.

Xiao Yibai only stayed in Xitong for one night and had to rush to the next place the next afternoon.

Mu Xiyue didn't want to go with them this time. She was afraid that the people from the Soul-Seeking Pavilion would come after her. What if the Pavilion Master also had superpowers? Then, as long as they found out that she was abnormal, they would know that she also had superpowers, and Xiao Yibai's martial arts would not be enough to deal with superpowers.

Xiao Yibai also thought of the Soul-Devouring Pavilion. "Yueyue, I'm worried about leaving you two in Xitong. According to the Soul-Devouring Pavilion's practice, they will definitely send out more people after their last mission failed. The martial arts of the people they send out again will definitely be more powerful than the last batch."

"It's okay, just go ahead and do your thing. The fewer people around me, the better I can perform. If you have too many people, I'm afraid you might hurt one of our own. I promise nothing will happen. Let's go. I'll stay in Xitong for a while."

Xiao Yibai had seen Mu Xiyue's group attack. Although he didn't know what kind of martial arts it was, he thought that Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao should be able to protect themselves with their skills.

"Okay then. You just wait for me in Xitong. I'll leave half of my men for you, and two of the Qilin Guards for you as well."

Mu Xiyue held her forehead and said, "No, your people are not as powerful as mine. Don't ask me to take care of you when the time comes. Go quickly and don't cause trouble for me."

Xiao Yibai really couldn't persuade Mu Xiyue. His original itinerary was to go all the way to the border town of Liangzhou, but now it seemed that he had to shorten the trip. Besides, there was the case of the missing blacksmith. He asked the Qilin Guard to send a message to the emperor, saying that it would be better to let the emperor's Divine Shadow Guard investigate the blacksmith's disappearance together, so that the process would be faster.

Xiao Yibai had originally wanted to secretly leave two secret guards behind, thinking that Mu Xiyue would definitely be able to detect their presence with her abilities. If she misunderstood that the secret guards were left behind to monitor her, she would definitely feel resentful and would eventually take them away.

After Xiao Yibai left, Mu Xiyue took Xiaotao to Yinshan Village outside Xitong City. Yinshan Town is at the foot of Yinshan. It is called Yinshan because silver mines were discovered on this mountain hundreds of years ago. The imperial court at that time sent people to mine for a full twenty years before it was fully mined. The people in Yinshan Town today are all descendants of the miners at that time.

Mu Xiyue didn't want to verify whether it was true as the local legend said. What she was thinking about was that if the people from the Soul-Seeking Pavilion really came to hunt her down, she would be able to kill them without restraint.

The two of them stayed in the only inn in Yinshan Town. Few outsiders came here, so the inn's business was not very good, but it was quiet there.

Mu Xiyue's expectations for the Soul-Seizing Pavilion were in vain. She'd heard there were many caves on Silver Mountain, each crisscrossed like a maze. On the third morning, Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao had already entered the mountain to explore the maze, but upon entering, they ran into someone from the Soul-Seizing Pavilion.

A man in white stood on the mountain path, holding a folding fan. When he saw Mu Xiyue, he smiled and said, "Young lady, you are Miss Mu Xiyue, right? I am Tan Taihong, the head of the Soul-Seizing Pavilion."

When Xiao Tao heard that it was the Soul-Seeking Pavilion Master who came in person, she was so nervous that she started to sweat coldly.

Mu Xiyue didn't sense any murderous intent or malice from the other party. She raised an eyebrow and said, "I've heard a lot about you! I wonder if you've come here to avenge your men, or if my life is so valuable that you'll have to do it yourself."

Tan Tai Hong laughed heartily, "It's because the Pavilion Master recently found out that Miss Mu and Prince Jin have opened an art gallery in Shangjing City. The shows there are very interesting, very similar to what I saw on TV back then."

Sure enough, Mu Xiyue was right in her guess. This was also a time traveler. Unexpectedly, he smelled the scent of the same kind from the show at the art gallery.

"So he really is a fellow villager. Then his purpose of coming here shouldn't be to kill me, right?"

Tan Tai Hong just looked like a handsome young man, but his expression changed immediately after hearing Mu Xiyue's words. He excitedly stepped forward and wanted to hug Mu Xiyue, but Mu Xiyue dodged sideways. Xiao Tao vigilantly stood in front of Mu Xiyue.

Tan Taiyou smiled awkwardly, "I didn't mean anything else, I was just too excited. How could I possibly kill you if I knew you were from the same hometown? How about we find a place to sit down and talk?"

The three of them did not go down the mountain. Instead, they walked a little further in and found a clean stone slope to sit down.

Tan Tai Hong asked impatiently, "From what you just said, you know me."

Halfway through his words, he looked at Xiao Tao and asked Mu Xiyue with his eyes whether he should avoid this girl.

Mu Xiyue smiled. "This is Xiaotao. She knows everything about me, so there's no need to avoid her. I guessed it a few days ago. The ranking of your assassins in the Soul-Seeking Pavilion is too similar to the ranks in mobile games. There's no diamond or platinum in this era, so I guess you're the same as me."

"I see," Tan Tai Hong suddenly realized, "I was saying, I've never told anyone else about my story."

Tan Tai Hong talked about his own story. It has been almost seven years since he traveled through time. In his previous life, he was a fitness coach. He died in a car accident on his way home from get off work at night. When he opened his eyes, he was in his current body.

Tan Tai Hong's original incarnation was drunk and pushed down a mountain by the Soul-Sucking Pavilion's second-in-command. Fortunately, he caught himself in a tree on the edge of the cliff, but unfortunately, he hit his head on the trunk and died. He inherited all of his original incarnation's memories and martial arts, returned to the Soul-Sucking Pavilion, killed the second-in-command, and has since taken over as the original incarnation's leader.

"When did you come here? What did you do in your previous life?"

Mu Xiyue also recounted her own experiences. The two of them were from the same era in their previous lives, but when Tan Taihong traveled through time, the modern world had not yet entered the apocalypse, so Tan Taihong's martial arts skills were entirely due to the original owner's training since childhood.

Tan Taihong was stunned. "You mean the zombie outbreak and the end of the world? I thought this only existed in science fiction movies, but I didn't expect it to actually happen. Sister, your supernatural powers are really amazing, right? Show me some."
