After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Li Qingqing heard Guiying talking and knew that Guiying was looking for her, and was about to come out of the space to meet him.

Suddenly, there was another noise outside the yard, and Yunying and several shadow guards climbed over the wall and entered.

Yun Ying was stunned when he saw the ghost eagle in the yard. He recognized that this man was Liu Yuanwai's subordinate.

"What are you doing here?" Yun Ying pointed his sword at the ghost eagle, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

Yunying: This yard is the residence of Young Master Xie. It is still early in the morning, and this man comes here. He must be either a traitor or a thief!

Li Qingqing: Thank you so much, you even scolded me!

"Go check inside the room!" Yun Ying immediately ordered a shadow guard beside him to go into the house to confirm whether Young Master Xie was safe.

Since Yunying was sent by Xie Xuan'an to find Mu Yunjing, he was unaware of the series of events that happened afterwards, and he had just returned.

Ghost Eagle glanced at him, said nothing, and walked towards the other side of the courtyard wall.

"Shadow Chief, Young Master Xie is not in the room, and there are no other shadow guards in the room." The shadow guard who had just gone to check quickly came back to report to Yunying.

"Stop him!" Yun Ying immediately ordered all the shadow guards to surround Ghost Eagle.

Yunying walked forward, frowned, and asked, "What did you do to Young Master Xie?"

Seeing his way was blocked, Ghost Eagle stopped and turned to look at Cloud Shadow, "I don't know."

"Then why are you here so late at night?" Yun Ying gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and looked at Ghost Eagle.

"I'm looking for someone. He and I made an appointment to meet here today, but I'm late." Ghost Eagle's voice was a little cold.

"Looking for someone?" Yun Ying frowned, clearly not believing Ghost Eagle's words. "Who are you looking for?"

Ghost Eagle didn't want to answer and planned to leave.

Yunying thrust out a sword, blocking Bai Ye's way forward.

Ghost Eagle dodged sideways, glanced at Yunying, then drew his sword and the two began to fight.

When Li Qingqing saw that the two were on the verge of a fight and Yun Ying was obviously no match for Gui Ying, she quickly dodged and left the space.

With a thought, she leaped out from the darkness with a spear in her hand.

"Stop!" Li Qingqing shouted at the two of them, and at the same time used her spear to separate the intertwined weapons.

The two were quickly separated. When Yun Ying saw that it was Li Qingqing, she quickly called out, "Miss Li."

Li Qingqing nodded to Yunying, then looked at Ghost Eagle.

When Guiying saw that it was Yunying's helper, he knew that he was going to stop him from leaving again. Without saying a word, he drew his sword and stepped forward.

Li Qingqing was not dressed as a man at this time. She knew that Guiying did not recognize her. She was thinking about her words and wanted to keep Guiying, but she saw that he had already swung his sword to attack her.

Li Qingqing: Come on, fight me. It’s a good opportunity to test your skills!

A hint of fighting spirit flashed in Li Qingqing's eyes. She quickly got into position, raised her silver spear, and blocked the long sword.

Yunying led the shadow guards to retreat to the side to watch the battle.

The two men's confrontation was fierce and rapid, their weapons crossed in the air, making crisp collision sounds.

The two of them went back and forth, gradually becoming serious and giving their all, and it was difficult to tell who was better for a while.

Yunying and others were terrified. They didn't expect that Bai Ye's martial arts skills were comparable to Miss Li's.

Yunying: If it weren't for Miss Li, those shadow guards would probably not see the sun tomorrow.

Ghost Eagle: You are too kind. I am no longer Mr. Liu’s subordinate and have no intention of killing.

The more the Ghost Eagle fought, the more frightened he became. This weak woman looked only seven or eight years younger than him, but her martial arts skills were actually on par with his.

Li Qingqing grew more courageous as the battle went on. She could feel her blood boiling. She remembered the last time she had fought so vigorously was when she had fought against the black-clad assassins of the East Palace Guards ten days ago.

The sky gradually brightened and the hour of Mao was approaching. As the sky grew brighter, the two men's movements gradually quickened.

Li Qingqing's silver spear was like lightning, continuously attacking the ghost eagle, while Bai Ye responded with even more swift sword skills.

As if they had a tacit understanding, the two of them walked on the edge of life and death, but did not actually deliver a fatal blow.

After a few more moves, the Ghost Eagle was about to reveal a flaw, and Li Qingqing seized the opportunity and pointed the silver spear at the vital part of its chest, which was only three inches away.

"I lost." Ghost Eagle said.

Ghost Eagle knew that it was pointless to continue fighting, so he stopped and looked at Li Qingqing with complicated eyes.

Li Qingqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly, retracted her spear, and said, "My antidote is still effective, right?"

"It's you?!" Guiying looked carefully and finally recognized that the person in front of him was the young man he was looking for.

Li Qingqing nodded slightly, "That's right."

Ghost Eagle then saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you for the medicine, young lady. I am willing to fulfill my promise and serve you for a year."

"Oh! Are you sure you have considered it carefully and don't want to work under Mr. Liu anymore?" Li Qingqing asked casually.

Ghost Eagle was silent for a while, then he said, "I killed Mr. Liu an hour ago."

"Mr. Liu is dead?" Li Qingqing was a little surprised.

The big boss who had been giving her trouble from the start was actually dead?

Li Qingqing asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't prepare an antidote for you?"

Ghost Eagle fell silent again. He knew that Li Qingqing might have misunderstood him, but he was not in a position to explain. After a moment, he said:

"If the girl doesn't want to, I won't force her. It's my fate."

Yun Ying didn't know that Li Qingqing knew medicine, so he couldn't help but ask, "If Miss Li prepared an antidote for you, wouldn't you kill her too?"

Ghost Eagle glanced at Yunying, then at Li Qingqing, and explained seriously:

"I am not an ungrateful person. I have a personal grudge against Mr. Liu. Even if you don't prepare the antidote for me, I will never hurt you."

"If the lady feels embarrassed, I will take my leave now."

Guiying added a sentence, then bowed to Li Qingqing and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Li Qingqing called him and said:

"You are a man of integrity. Don't worry, I will prepare an antidote for you."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Ghost Eagle's eyes, and he said, "Thank you, young lady. I will definitely remember your kindness in my heart."

Li Qingqing nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

"My original name is Bai Ye. When I was working for Mr. Liu, he named me Ghost Eagle. Now that I work for you, you can also name me."

"No need, Bai Ye, just use your real name." Li Qingqing asked, "When do you plan to follow me? I can make the corresponding arrangements."

Bai Ye said, "Could you please allow me to go home for a while? I have a personal matter that needs to be dealt with immediately. I will come here to see you in three days."

"Okay!" Li Qingqing nodded. Bai Ye then said goodbye and left.

Li Qingqing looked at Yunying and knew that he was the Shadow Leader. He must have excellent Qinggong skills and would be very efficient as an errand boy. So she ordered:

"You must immediately go to the Zhou family in Lihua Village and have Shitou bring Young Master Xie and my husband here in an oxcart. This matter cannot be delayed. I will wait for you here."

"Yes!" Yun Ying took the order and left quickly.

Not long after, Xie Xuanan and Zhou Yimo arrived.

When the two were on the ox cart, they had already heard Yunying report on the situation in Qiu Shui Town.

After learning that Mr. Liu was dead and hearing that Mu Yunjing had issued an order to keep the iron ore privately, the two quickly reached a consensus.
