The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Yilan County.

Zhu Sanfu Restaurant.

An old man and a child are eating white bread here.

The old man was dressed in black, with white hair and a youthful face. His eyes were very clear and bright; just by looking at his eyes, one would think he was a newborn baby.

But upon closer inspection, one can sense a profound sense of life's vicissitudes emanating from the old man!

Moreover, the old man's movements while eating the steamed buns were very natural, as if he had blended into his surroundings.

As for the person sitting opposite the old man, it was a little girl!

The girl, dressed in red, looked like a flame.

At this moment, a hint of murderous intent was faintly revealed on that porcelain doll-like face!

"Little Fairy, didn't you say you were hungry a while ago? These white steamed buns are so delicious, why aren't you eating them?"

The old man held a steamed bun in his hand and ate it with great relish.

However, a hint of heartache and helplessness flashed in his eyes as he looked at the girl opposite him.

If Murong Nishang were here, she would realize that this old man and young girl have very important backgrounds!

The old man was Yi Zhong, the previous leader of the Shadow Sect during the Longwu Dynasty, who was known in the martial arts world as the King of the Night.

Once he sets his sights on someone, no one can escape!

And this little girl in red is Nie Xiaoxian, the adopted daughter of Nie Tianguan.

Nie Xiaoxian picked up the wine pot beside her, poured herself a cup of wine, and her eyes revealed a hint of anger and helplessness: "Master, you had already retired from the martial world, but I still dragged you down the mountain. You won't blame me, will you?"

Since entering the Soaring Realm thirty years ago, Yi Zhong has retired from his life of crime and completely ignored the purge of the Shadow Sect.

It wasn't that he didn't want to get involved; it was just that the Shadow Gate had gradually come under the control of the Longwu Dynasty's royal family, which deviated from his original intention in creating the Shadow Gate. This made him very dissatisfied, but he was helpless in the face of the royal family, so he could only retire from the martial arts world and forget about it from then on.

Finally, God was kind to him, and a successor was sent down from heaven, who is none other than Nie Xiaoxian in front of us!

To be honest, Nie Xiaoxian's talent in assassination is no joke. At such a young age, she has already mastered the art of teleportation, which is truly amazing!

But this girl is good in every way, except that she's too sentimental!

You must understand that the worst thing for an assassin is to act on emotion!

Yi Zhong wanted to teach this, but found that he simply couldn't!

In the last battle of Jinling, Nie Tianguan died in battle, and Ling Xiaoyue and Kong Lianshun were crippled!

These three people were Nie Xiaoxian's closest confidants!

You could say I watched her grow up!

Yi Zhong looked at Nie Xiaoxian and laughed, "You little girl, how could your master not know you? Your master understands everything you're thinking."

"But then again, if it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't care about the life or death of anyone from the Shadow Gate. What goes around comes around. That's the real Jianghu."

Nie Xiaoxian remained silent.

My advisor was absolutely right. To live a life of crime is to have your head on the chopping block of a knife; you could lose your life at any moment.

Especially those from the Shadow Gate.

The probability of a person in the martial arts world living a peaceful and quiet life until old age is extremely small.

In the world of martial arts, how often do people not die in battles?

"It's all because of that Jia Daoshi! Just thinking about him annoys me!"

A murderous glint appeared in Nie Xiaoxian's eyes.

"If it weren't for him, my godfather wouldn't have died, and Aunt Xiaoyue and Uncle Lianshun wouldn't have become crippled! He may be powerful, but he can't kill indiscriminately!"

"Doesn't he ever think about the fact that he'll get his comeuppance for killing so many people?!"

Nie Xiaoxian and Ling Xiaoyue, along with Kong Lianshun, had a very good relationship. They played together when they were young.

"Little Fairy, you're too attached to appearances!"

"Have you forgotten what your advisor told you? Life and death are determined by fate, not by man! Your godfather has been too close to the imperial court all these years; your advisor foresaw this day would come!"

"They went to kill Jia Daoshi, so they can't let Jia Daoshi fight back? What kind of logic is that in the martial arts world?"

"If you're not skilled enough, you can only accept your fate if you get killed; there's nothing more to say about it."

When Yi Zhong thought of Nie Tianguan, he shook his head.

Why would someone who should be the leader of the Shadow Sect insist on taking an official position in the imperial court?

Is it so easy to be an official?

He's probably risked his life now, hasn't he?

That concludes this topic.

"Master, I've heard that this Jia Daoshi is quite young. What kind of cultivation technique does he practice? How can he control the power of the Three Yuan Taiyi Pill and use it to kill people?!"

The thought of Jia Daoshi becoming famous after stepping on Nie Tianguan, Qing Manchao, and Hui Ningshi in the battle of Jinling still made Nie Xiaoxian somewhat worried.

After all, his advisor was getting old, and he didn't know if he could handle Jia Daoshi, who was on the rise.

Moreover, Jia Daoshi is definitely not at his peak right now!

This is just the beginning!

However, his advisor was getting old and hadn't fought in a long time, so he didn't know if he could still wield a knife and kill someone.

"Alright, you don't need to think about these things. Your grandmaster also wants to see the current prodigies."

"Furthermore, you're acting too emotionally right now, which is a major taboo whether you're navigating the martial world or cultivating yourself! If you fall into inner demons, it will be even more terrifying!"

"Master, I understand!" Nie Xiaoxian nodded. "Regardless of whether we can kill him this time, Master must ensure your own safety first. If we can't kill him this time, then let me do it myself!"

Yi Zhong smiled faintly: "The advisor cannot guarantee anything. It seems that this Jia Daoshi is indeed unfathomable. However, this boy is too bloodthirsty. It is not a big problem for me to teach him a lesson. It is not necessarily a good thing for a young man to have a smooth life and show his talents."

"As for whether it will work out, we'll have to try first. When the time comes, you'll just watch and learn from the sidelines."

"Little Fairy understands."

……

Just as the old man and the young man were eating steamed buns.

“De de de de…”

A series of rapid hoofbeats, like a storm, echoed down the long street!

Yi Zhong concealed his aura, and in that instant, he looked like an ordinary old man, holding a steamed bun and slowly sipping soup.

Nie Xiaoxian listened intently with a puzzled expression, and as the sound of hooves grew closer, a look of doubt appeared in her eyes.

"Where are these people going in such a hurry?"

"I heard that Jia Daoshi's manor is near Yilan County. Within Yilan County, the only place that would make people rush there in such a hurry is his Jia Family Manor, right?"

"Wherever this kid is in the martial arts world now, it will become very lively."

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoxian immediately lost her appetite for steamed buns: "Master! We're not eating anymore! Let's hurry up and go see what's going on!"
