Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

The words were not spoken loudly, but everyone in the back row heard it. They began to look at Yan Ruchen curiously, and someone immediately recognized him.

As the news spread from the front to the back, more and more people recognized Yan Ruchen, and the crowd suddenly quieted down, turning awkward. Then, someone in the back row whispered, "Yeah, that was him last time. He killed so many monsters and didn't take a cent. He doesn't look like a liar at all."

This voice came from behind. Although the volume was not loud, it was heard clearly by everyone. Those who had been attacked by the Wuzijian monster and saved by Yan Ruchen were even more ashamed and whispered, "It really is him."

Following the cry of "It's really him," many people began to quietly retreat, no longer participating in the verbal battle. Although a few still insisted that the Immortal Sect was a scam, their voices had become much quieter. At this time, another voice came from the back of the group: "Forget it, forget it, these kids are just here to buy things. There's no point in blocking them. They need to go home and eat."

Hearing this, the people who had been saved by Yan Ruchen left in embarrassment. The remaining few who wanted to continue causing trouble also dispersed with curses, seeing that the situation was not good.

The originally enraged crowd had now disappeared into the throng. Chen Rongrong and the other disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief, thanking Yan Ruchen for surviving the ordeal. However, Yan Ruchen stared at the figure not far away, who was about to walk away with the crowd, and shouted, "Shan Yu!"

Guan Shanyu stopped and looked back at him.

Chen Rongrong was about to talk to Yan Ruchen when she saw Guan Shanyu there. She asked curiously, "Guan Shanyu? Why is he here too? He hasn't been executed yet?"

Yan Ruchen frowned and glanced back at her, saying, "Rongrong, watch your words. He was the one who saved us just now."

Chen Rongrong was stunned, recalling the sudden voice of rescue just now, it turned out to be Guan Shanyu?

How can he switch between two or three accents by himself?

Chen Rongrong and the other disciples were still stunned, but Yan Ruchen had already walked quickly towards Guan Shanyu and said gratefully, "Thanks to you for saving us, otherwise it would have been difficult for us to escape."

Guan Shanyu glanced at the disgust in the eyes of Chen Rongrong and the others, then turned to Yan Ruchen and said, "It's really hard to think of a solution when you're in this situation. I didn't do anything, so it's up to you." After that, he turned around without looking back and went to lead the two tied horses at the corner.

Seeing this, Yan Ruchen turned around to say goodbye to Chen Rongrong, but Chen Rongrong looked at Guan Shanyu's back and said hesitantly: "Guan... What's wrong with Guan Shanyu's face?"

Yan Ruchen smiled politely and changed the subject: "We have important matters to attend to. You guys should hurry up and go ahead. I'll go ahead."

"Wait! Ruchen!" Chen Rongrong saw Yan Ruchen was about to leave, so she called out to him. She wanted to talk to him again, but Yan Ruchen had already run towards Guan Shanyu.

Chen Rongrong's heart sank. Without Si Hongyin, Yan Ruchen would rather go and stay with Guan Shanyu than talk to her. She sighed and turned her head to look at her fellow apprentices who were still standing there trembling with fear. She said, "Let's go, let's go back too."

Guan Shanyu remained silent for the rest of the journey.

The two first arrived near Yunjichan, and then flew straight to Songpi County on their swords.

Unlike the last time they rode a sword together, Guan Shanyu naturally put his arm around Yan Ruchen's shoulder, gazing at the clouds below. Yan Ruchen, on the other hand, was a little unaccustomed to his attitude.

After the two men landed on the ground with their swords, Guan Shanyu immediately let go of Yan Ruchen and walked towards the residence of the County Magistrate of Songpi County. However, Yan Ruchen could not help but catch up with Guan Shanyu and whispered, "Shanyu, what did Senior Brother Song say to you?"

At this time, Guan Shanyu had already walked to the corner of the wall. He turned and looked at Yan Ruchen, but did not answer. He only said: "Climb over the wall and directly capture the person to question him. You know what to do, right?"

Yan Ruchen frowned and asked slowly, "Brother Song, what did I tell you?"

Guan Shanyu said: "If you don't turn over, I will leave."

Yan Ruchen immediately held him down, and after a moment's hesitation, he slowly said, "I'll turn over."

So a moment later, the county magistrate of Songpi County, who was still eating grapes handed to him by his concubine in the bedroom, looked at the two people who entered his room inexplicably, and he and his concubine let out a terrified cry!

“There’s an assassin!!!”

Yan Ruchen stepped forward quickly and immediately covered the county magistrate's mouth with a rag. The concubine beside him was still peeling grapes in dishevel. When she saw two men suddenly rush in from outside and hold the county magistrate hostage, she screamed in fear. But before the sound could come out of her dantian, the quilt beside her was shaken off by one of the men and covered her head.

Just as I was frightened, I heard one of the men say, "Don't move. I'll ask you a few questions. I won't kill you."

The concubine trembled as she poked her head out from under the quilt. She saw Guan Shanyu standing in front of her, gesturing for silence. She looked closely and saw that he was a handsome young man. Then she looked at her half-naked self and immediately understood what was going on. She hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The county magistrate was terrified. A rag was stuffed in his mouth, and Yan Ruchen had neatly tied him to a chair, with a knife at his neck. He opened his eyes wide, wanting to kill these two audacious men with his gaze.

Guan Shanyu approached and said, "Even if your eyeballs fall out, you can't kill us. I'm just asking you a question. If you cooperate, I won't hurt your life."

The county magistrate rolled his eyes and turned away, seemingly unmoved. Just then, footsteps were heard outside, evidently someone had been attracted by the commotion. The county magistrate looked at Yan Ruchen and the others smugly, with an expression that said, "Let's see how this ends."

Guan Shanyu was not in a hurry. He pulled Yan Ruchen over, showed him the white crane pattern and token on his body, and said to the county magistrate, "We are one family. We come to ask a few questions. Don't make things worse."

Yan Ruchen looked down at his waist and saw nothing. He hadn't expected Guan Shanyu to move so quickly. The candlelight flickered in the room, and the county magistrate recognized the crane pattern and token on Yan Ruchen's uniform in the light. His expression changed instantly, and then he glanced at Yan Ruchen and Guan Shanyu seriously.

Seeing this, Guan Shanyu quickly pulled the cloth out of the county magistrate's mouth and signaled him to be quiet.

Outside, the guards' hurried footsteps reached the door. They knocked anxiously and asked, "Master, is everything alright in there?"

The county magistrate carefully examined the crane tattoo on Yan Ruchen's body, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Die'er and I are playing games. Let's go! Don't disturb us!"

The guards at the door hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, exchanged confused glances, and said, "Okay, sir, please tell me if you have anything else." Then they left.

Back in the room, the County Magistrate, though still suspicious, was much more respectful due to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion emblem on Yan Ruchen's body. "Excuse me, are you a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion? You're visiting so late at night, and you should have been accompanied by a guard. Why did you scale the wall and resort to violence? What's the important matter?"

Guan Shanyu's face was expressionless. "Since I'm not taking the usual route, I must have something unusual to ask you. It would be terrible if others saw me. We're here to find out if there was anything wrong with the way you escorted those reactionary cultivators last time."

The county magistrate's expression suddenly changed. Yan Ruchen turned around and glanced at Guan Shanyu. Seeing him staring at the county magistrate seriously, he immediately understood what Guan Shanyu meant. However, the county magistrate asked in confusion, "What process? What are you talking about?"

Yan Ruchen continued, "We're all family, so stop pretending. This person should have been sent somewhere else, but somehow ended up at Yuchen Palace and was even spotted by other disciples. We came here today to ask you, was this intentional or was there a mistake in the process?"

Upon hearing this, the County Magistrate immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He was so frightened by the aura of Yan Ruchen and the other two that he was stunned, thinking he had gotten into a terrible disaster. He caught a glimpse of Yan Ruchen holding the knife to his neck and said in even greater panic, "Two monks, I really didn't send you to the wrong place. I have always followed the rules. As for how they ended up in Yuchen Palace, I really don't know!"

Guan Shanyu gently patted the county magistrate's shoulder, signaling him to be quiet: "Shh, keep your voice down and don't draw attention to yourself. We want to know if someone instructed you to deliberately send the wrong person so that our internal affairs would be leaked?"

The county magistrate twisted anxiously in his chair, denying it repeatedly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I always follow the rules. There must be a misunderstanding here!"

Yan Ruchen gently placed the tip of the knife close to the County Magistrate's cheek, leaned forward, and said slowly, "Explain the rules clearly from beginning to end. How did you send the person there? Let's see if you remember it correctly."

The county magistrate looked at the two men's gloomy expressions and replied with trembling lips: "That's right, catch them and send them to the three major sects..."

"Tell me the whole story!" Guan Shanyu grabbed the county magistrate's neck and lowered his voice, "From how to locate the crowd, to capturing them, and then sending them to the sect, tell me everything in detail. Don't leave anything out!"

Yan Ruchen turned to glance at Guan Shanyu, his eyebrows unconsciously raised at the rare sternness on his face. The County Magistrate, terrified by Guan Shanyu's aura, felt the chill and suffocation of the dagger on his neck and hurriedly said, "We...we followed your instructions and spread the anti-immortal cultivation slogan throughout the martial arts world. We contacted and drew out the true anti-immortal forces hidden within the martial arts world. Once we identified the individuals, we secretly led them to the territories of various immortal sects, where we used poison, toxic gas, and other means to capture them all. Then, under the pretext of transporting goods, we sent them to various immortal sects for disposal by the Grandmasters."

Yan Ruchen's pupils suddenly widened, and he looked at Guan Shanyu in disbelief. But Guan Shanyu simply loosened his grip on the County Magistrate's neck and continued to ask, "You've served us for so many years, haven't you ever had any evil thoughts? Haven't you been influenced by those reactionary forces and thought that our sect is a bunch of petty scoundrels?"

The county magistrate was so frightened that he almost cried. He quickly defended himself, "How dare I! We county magistrates were all promoted by the sect. My wealth and glory are all due to the favor of the immortal masters. How dare I have any other thoughts? Besides, the immortal masters are heroes who fight against harm for the people. Those ordinary people actually dare to oppose you. They are simply overestimating their own abilities! How could I be deceived by them and do something that would harm the sect? As for the two immortal masters saying that they sent the wrong person, I really didn't know anything about it. There must be a misunderstanding!"

After hearing this, Guan Shanyu curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, patted the county magistrate's face, and said contemptuously: "You are quite loyal."

The county magistrate nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of sincerity. Guan Shanyu turned to look at Yan Ruchen, and saw that his expression was complicated, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he remained silent. He then turned back to the county magistrate and said, "Since you remember correctly, let's go back and report to Master and see what the problem is."

The county magistrate quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes! It must be a misunderstanding. I have been doing this for so many years and have never made a mistake. Please, two immortal masters, please look into it."

Guan Shanyu turned around and pulled up the slightly stiff Yan Ruchen, warning the county magistrate, "You must keep your mouth shut about what happened today. Don't reveal a single word to anyone. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."

The county magistrate hurriedly agreed. Guan Shanyu dragged Yan Ruchen over the window sill and then looked at Die'er beside him. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't speak. The county magistrate shed a tear of bitterness after surviving the ordeal and said to Die'er, "Why are you still standing there? Untie your master quickly."
