Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

Two days later, Gu Qianhan emerged from Li Yao's laboratory.

During this time, Qi had already met the woman in white, although the two encountered some minor incidents on their way back.

A group of bandits tried to take advantage of them, but the two easily dealt with them.

In Gu Qianhan's opinion, the funniest thing was that bandit leader.

He came flying through the air, stepping on a tree trunk. After discovering that all his underlings had been instantly killed, he was so frightened that he picked up the tree trunk and threw it away, then stepped on the tree trunk again and left.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was Tao Pai Pai from Dragon Ball.

At this moment, Gu Qianhan looked at Qi.

"In two days, you will join Shimen in attacking Plum Blossom Manor."

"His Majesty is pressing you hard. If you don't go out this time, your injuries will probably heal very soon."

After saying that, he glanced at Qi and the girl in white beside him.

"Hmph, a dignified Shadow Assassin, actually burdened by love."

"Emotions are an assassin's greatest taboo."

Upon hearing this, the girl in white mustered her courage, stepped forward, and looked up at Gu Qianhan.

"Mr. Gu is so powerful, doesn't he have anyone he wants to protect?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qianhan tilted her head to look at the girl in white, her head gradually lifting slightly.

According to the original plot, this line should have been spoken by the girl in white asking Qi, who was injured while saving him, about the situation by the stream.

I never expected her to ask me about it.

Gu Qianhan simply nodded slightly in response.

"Yes, that's true. In fact, I used to be a real busybody."

"But there's a premise to all of this."

"powerful."

After saying that, Gu Qianhan ignored the two of them and turned to leave.

At this moment, Qi stepped forward. Although her expression and tone were cold, Gu Qianhan could detect a different meaning in her voice.

"Mr. Gu, I will strive to become as strong as you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qianhan stopped and turned half of her face to look at Qi, who had a poker face but was also very serious.

"As powerful as me?"

"Not enough."

"Learn from me, become me, and ultimately surpass me."

"If you can do it."

Upon hearing Gu Qianhan's words, the flames in Qi's eyes burned even brighter.

But then he continued talking.

"Hehe, I was just kidding. You can learn from me, but you'll never become me in this lifetime, and you'll never surpass me."

After saying that, Gu Qianhan laughed and left.

What he likes to do most is manipulate people's hearts.

First, give the other person a tiny spark of hope, and once that hope is ignited in their heart, then personally extinguish that flame.

The main point is that you don't like me, but you can't do anything about it.

However, what Gu Qianhan just said wasn't really a blow to Qi.

After all, he was telling the truth.

In this world, he is a god-like being.

With immense and limitless strength, the ultimate speed to shatter the barriers of time, inexhaustible inner power, the ability to transform into nothingness and be immune to all physical attacks, to heal all injuries and illnesses, to refine the soul, to be ever-changing, and to be immortal and indestructible.

As for Qi, he will be betrayed, die, and lose his memory.

Putting everything else aside, the very fact that they are immortal is something that some people have been pursuing their whole lives.

...............

Time flies by like a white horse.

Although Qi's injuries had not fully healed, she was traveling with Shi Men towards a certain place. This time, Gu Qianhan, for the first time ever, went with them.

However, their direction was not Plum Blossom Manor, but another direction.

It was also a secret order issued by the Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom, on the grounds of executing traitors to the country.

The whole incident was caused by the Silver Armor Guard Commander of the Dark Fortress.

Unable to suppress his longing for his wife any longer, he decided to secretly flee Xuanwu Kingdom and head to Little Chicken Island.

He wants to reunite with his wife, who has undergone cosmetic surgery and now looks completely different.

Even if the little girl named Cola that his wife has taken in is not their biological child, he is willing to raise her with her.

However, his secret plan was eventually exposed, and his subordinates, who were eager for him to step down so that they could take his place, promptly submitted a memorial to the imperial court.

When the Emperor of Xuanwu learned that this man was actually a fugitive from the Kingdom of Ster, he was furious and ordered the other Silver Armor Guards to arrest him and bring him to justice.

This silver-armored guard commander is a true man. Even in this desperate situation, he hasn't revealed a single detail about his deal with the assassin leader.

Because he knows.

Once he reveals the assassin leader, what awaits him is the fate of his wife, who is on Chicken Island, being assassinated by the assassins.

He didn't want to see this happen.

He's going to shoulder all of this himself!

After overcoming numerous hardships, he finally broke through the encirclement of the Silver Armored Guards of the Dark Fortress.

However, he was also seriously injured when he managed to escape.

He knew that at this time, no one from Xuanwu Kingdom would come to rescue him, a wanted citizen of Ster Kingdom.

After all, the Xuanwu Kingdom and the Ster Kingdom have always been at odds, fighting for years and are now irreconcilable enemies.

Just as he was about to give up in despair, a figure appeared and repelled all those who were chasing him.

The newcomer stood with his hands behind his back, gesturing for the man to leave quickly.

Upon hearing this, the man trembled with excitement. Despite his severe injuries, he looked at the newcomer with shaky eyes.

"Brother, I am a citizen of Sterling. What you're doing will only bring trouble upon yourself!"

The visitor simply smiled upon hearing this.

"In my opinion, not all people from the Kingdom of Ster are bad people, just as not all people from the Kingdom of Xuanwu are good people."

"My Zanquan (a type of martial arts) advocates a love for life, a love for all living beings, regardless of nationality or race."

The blue-haired man who came to his rescue was none other than the martial arts master Gu Qianhan had encountered earlier.

The boxing master smiled at the man and then gave him a thumbs up.

"When I see people in trouble, I can't help but want to lend a helping hand."

"These are wound medicine and black jade healing ointment, which I just learned from your conversation."

"Go and reunite with your wife and daughters."

After saying this, the master of Zanquan tossed the two medicines to the man, then stood with his hands behind his back, smiling at him.

As the man accepted the medication, tears streamed down his face due to his emotional state.

"Brother, what will you do?"

"You stood up for me today and stopped the royal guards in silver armor; they won't let you get away with this."

Master Zanquan simply smiled indifferently at this.

"A friend once asked me the same question."

"Alright, you should go and reunite with your family."

"I just hope that one day you can be like me, able to lend a helping hand to people in need."

"Wouldn't it be better if there were fewer conflicts in the world that way?"

In the end, the man fled Xuanwu Kingdom.

Master Zanquan was wanted by the royal family as a spy for the Kingdom of Ster.

This is also why Gu Qianhan went there in person this time, since the other party is an old acquaintance.
