Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun with a tired look in his eyes.

Zhai Yun was always by his side. Was there anyone that Zhai Yun knew that he didn't?

Mu Ziyan looked at Zhai Yun in surprise. She had never left the black market, but someone knew her name. Mu Ziyan was a little flustered. Their identities must not be known to outsiders.

From Mu Ziyan's panicked expression, Zhai Yun determined that she was indeed Mu Ziyan, the top courtesan who stood out among the many courtesans in her previous life.

The only difference is that in her previous life, Mu Ziyan was a top courtesan, her every move was enchanting and charming, and a single glance could capture the hearts of countless men.

Mu Ziyan, who was standing in front of Zhai Yun at this moment, not only hid her face, but also had no charm or allure on her body. She was only cold and distant from others.

It seemed as if Zhai Yun knowing her name was a disaster for her.

How did Lou Yexue, the most famous courtesan in the brothel, get together? Did Mu Ziyan's fate also change?

Lou Yexue's palms were glowing, as if something was reminding him of something. It was a very strange feeling, as if he had forgotten something important.

The seal on his palm was reminding him desperately, but he didn't know what it was reminding him of. He just felt that Zhai Yun was very unusual. The Zhai Yun in front of him could actually know Zi Yan's last name.

Zi Yan has never left his side since she came down from the snow mountain. She doesn't know anyone from the outside world at all, but there are people in the outside world who know her.

Zhai Yun was also extremely surprised that Mu Ziyan actually knew Lou Yexue!

One was the person who taught her how to please men in her previous life, and the other was the person who pulled her out of the eighteen levels of hell. These two people who had nothing to do with each other were actually standing together in this life.

Lou Yexue eventually led Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi to find the little boy. He also wanted to find out who in the black market was ignoring the ban and interfering in the affairs of the outside world.

When they found the little boy's home, they saw a dilapidated house and a little boy taking care of a sick little girl in bed. The little boy was not at all happy to see Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi.

He stood in front of his sister with anger: "I have told you what you want to know! What else do you want?"

He had just been assassinated, but he was not afraid. Instead, he firmly protected his sister behind him. This reminded Zhai Yun of Feng Chenyi who had always been protecting her.

Such friendship is truly rare and precious. Zhai Yun stepped forward cautiously: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you!"

The little boy pushed Zhai Yun back fiercely. Zhai Yun's body was firmly protected by someone. Two big hands held Zhai Yun's shoulders. Zhai Yun's back was against a solid wall. No matter how hard the little boy pushed, he could not move Zhai Yun any further.

The little boy couldn't push back and protected his sister. "Swindlers! You made an appointment with me, but you didn't want to pay me. You sent someone to my house to kill me and my sister!"

It turned out that the child had misunderstood. He thought those people were sent by Zhai Yun. He had just said that he had told them what they wanted to know. Zhai Yun anxiously asked Lou Yexue: "Did any of those who tried to assassinate him escape?"

If someone escapes, those people will know the clues and kill him in advance, and Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi's efforts will be in vain.

Lou Yexue looked at Zhai Yun with a distance, her eyes falling on Feng Chenyi's hands clasped on Zhai Yun's shoulders. She said coldly, "They're all dead."

Hearing this, Zhai Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was still not too late.

Zhai Yun took out two gold bars from her bag and handed them to the little boy. "Look, this is twenty taels of gold. As long as you lead us to the man who sold the arrows, all of this will be yours."

The little boy was furious after hearing this. "I won't be fooled by you again. Get out of here, you bad guys!"

The little boy started punching and kicking Zhai Yun. But before he could throw a few punches, he was kicked to the ground. The owner of the foot, Feng Chenyi, pulled Zhai Yun behind him and looked at the little boy with cold eyes.

The little boy's small body was kicked to the ground by Feng Chenyi, and he grimaced in pain.

The little boy who was kicked to the ground wanted to get up and ask for an explanation, but he was frightened by Feng Chenyi's eyes and stood there in a daze.

"Just listen to them and lead them to find that person. I'm here and will protect your safety." Lou Yexue, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

The little boy was shocked when he saw Lou Yexue standing beside him. Then he knelt down respectfully and saluted, saying earnestly, "Mayor, I didn't know it was you. I'm so negligent. I deserve to die!"

Although he was small in stature, he performed the ceremony in a very proper manner.

Lou Yexue leaned forward and helped him up: "Just do as they say."

The little boy looked at Lou Yexue and nodded firmly, "The mayor has given my sister and me a safe place to live. I will listen to you."

The little boy said, then turned around and comforted his sister lying on the bed: "Don't be afraid, sister, I will be back soon. The mayor is here, and I am safe."

The weak little girl on the bed opened her mouth but couldn't say anything, probably because there was something wrong with her throat.

Lou Yexue spoke, and the little boy was extremely obedient. He took the three of them through the black market and came to a remote and narrow alley. Compared with the bustling front market, this place was more like where the people in the black market lived.

After passing through several alleys, the little boy stopped at the gate of a courtyard. A paper lantern was hung at the gate with only one word "casting" on it.

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi looked at each other and said tacitly that this was the place.

The two men rushed into the courtyard in tacit understanding. There was only an old man working as a blacksmith in the courtyard. Although he was old, his strength as a blacksmith had not diminished in the slightest. Seeing Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi suddenly barging in, his expression remained unchanged: "The sword styles are over there. Choose yours and pay the deposit. Come back in a month to pick them up."

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi walked towards the displayed sword styles. Lou Yexue was now in front of the old man, watching him forging the iron one stroke at a time.

A pile of broken arrows was placed below the sword patterns. Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi each picked up one. The material and style were exactly the same as the batch shipped to the Northern Wilderness.

The old man behind him said slowly: "Those arrows were ordered by someone else, and they are no longer made."

How could a small foundry possibly produce such a large batch of arrows? Feng Chenyi walked up to the old man with the arrows and said, "You didn't forge these arrows. Someone left them here with you."

The old man hesitated for a moment, his eyes full of turbidity. "This kind of arrow is just made to fool people. They are all used in juggling on the market. It's not surprising that I have this."

Zhai Yun walked over and said, "You placed these arrows too deliberately. You put them there before we entered the door." Zhai Yun made a bold guess.

These arrows were indeed placed too deliberately, as if they were afraid that people coming in would not see them.

The old man glanced at Zhai Yun,
