This scoundrel is a bit of a swordsman.

"Brother Tiger, what kind of help do you need? Just tell me, and I'll do my best to help."

"Awooo... Awooo..." This time the roar was much softer, even carrying a hint of pleading.

"You mean you want me to go with you?" Xiao Xingchen guessed.

"Ouch..."

"One 'oo' is right, two 'oo's' are wrong, is that okay? Now I'll ask you, and you answer,"

"Ouch,"

"You're not going to eat me, are you?"

"Ouch,"

"You need my help?"

"Ouch,"

"You are hurt?"

"Aww... Aww..."

"I'm not injured, but you need my help. Okay, then take me with you, and I'll go see what's wrong."

"Ouch..."

"That's enough, that's enough, your ears are numb from yelling,"

"Ouch..."

"Stop, stop!"

"Ouch..."

Xiao Xingchen was utterly defeated. His ears were ringing. He looked back and saw those three treacherous guys hiding to the side, watching them.

"Sure enough, bitches and beasts are cut from the same cloth, even their greetings are so synchronized."

Qingyu cursed without using any vulgar language. Seeing the man and tiger howling at the scene, she said disdainfully,

"Qingyu, don't you think this man is strange? Is this tiger really that kind, or is it only special to this man? There have always been rumors in Yong'an that this tiger eats people, and now it seems that it has begun to transform into a demon. It is no ordinary creature."

Chen Miao explained,

"Tian Yuanzi, what do you think?"

"This kid is strange. If possible, keeping him around might yield unexpected benefits."

"You're right. The mystery of Xiao Jianxian, which we've been searching for so long without any clues, has started to take a turn for the better with his appearance. I even suspect he's a lucky star. With him around, perhaps we can really find the secret here. However, this tiger..."

Chen Miao hesitated for a moment, then continued somewhat uncertainly,

"Don't you think this tiger has a beast-taming mark on it?"

"Does Your Highness feel the same way?"

"Yes, the White Tiger of Cangshan is a very ominous sign. If this white tiger is being controlled by someone, it means..."

"Are there other people here?" Qingyu blurted out.

The three nodded to each other, then exchanged a grave glance, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Let's go, let's follow them and see. Xiao Xingchen might find something."

Led by Chen Miao, the three returned. Facing them, Xiao Xingchen spoke with no politeness, only cold sarcasm.

"Were your ancestors thieves? You slipped away so fast! I thought you weren't coming back."

"Stop fooling around, what's with this tiger? Can you understand its language?" Chen Miao walked over.

Black Tiger glared angrily at the three approaching figures until Xiao Xingchen patted its head, as if soothing a pet, and only then did it calm down.

"I don't know. It seems to be seeking our help. I'm going to have him take me to see it. What about the three of you? Are you going together, or are you going your own way?"

"Let's go together. This tiger has a beast-taming mark on it, and we suspect there are other people here."

"Beast Taming Seal, what is this?" Xiao Xingchen was taken aback.

"Once the Beast Taming Mark is applied, this white tiger will lose its freedom; it will have to obey the mark's owner,"

"I see? I think I understand."

Xiao Xingchen looked at the black tiger again. Its massive body, when standing, was at least three times his height. Its fierce face was surprisingly docile towards him. "Could it be that it wants me to help it remove this beast-taming seal?" he wondered to himself.

"You understand? You don't understand anything! You should ask it if there's anyone else here!"

"Qingyu, right? If you speak even a little more politely, I promise I won't let my Tiger brother eat you up,"

"you.."

Qingyu was speechless again. At this moment, Chen Miao could only shake her head helplessly. These two were like needles clashing against wheat awns, always ready to argue.

"You should ask quickly. If there really are other people here, then things are going to get serious."

"Okay, okay, this is such a hassle, I'm really having the worst luck,"

Xiao Xingchen grew bolder. With Tiger backing him up, he was no longer afraid of Chen Miao turning against him.

"Tiger, I'm asking you, is there someone here who wants to harm you? If yes, then roar; if not, then shut up."

"Ouch..."

"As you can see, Tiger said yes,"

"Brother Tiger, do you want us to help you escape the clutches of evil and remove the Beast Taming Seal?"

"Aww, aww..."

"No? Then how can we help you? We can't possibly..."

Before Xiao Xingchen could finish speaking, Tiger lifted him onto his head, then turned and ran into the darkness.

"Follow him, and you might find something."

Chen Miao immediately reminded him and followed closely behind.

"Damn, that's so exciting!" Xiao Xingchen, sitting on the tiger's head, never dreamed he'd one day be riding a tiger. And seeing the three people running behind him, he was absolutely thrilled.

But after the initial excitement came deep worry. It seemed that he had gotten involved in something he shouldn't have. Just like Chen Miao said, how could there be people in this desolate mountain forest? Could these people be good people?

Of course not, but my journey there will likely be fraught with difficulties.

Baihu moved swiftly, leading the group directly away from Xiaojianxian's tomb and traversing the deep forests of Cangshan Mountain. This left Xiaoxingchen, who hadn't had time to continue exploring, feeling disappointed. Xiaojianxian had said that there was a sword left for him deep within the tomb.

Sword immortality—every man has probably fantasized about it. Now that they have this opportunity, it's impossible for him not to have that desire. Flying on a sword, slaying demons and monsters—that's what men do. But it seems that they'll have to wait for another chance to go in, because the White Tiger is clearly leading them deeper into the area.

"Roar!" The tiger's roar shook the mountains and forests. Under the cover of night, Chen Miao and the others followed the black tiger at full speed. Tian Yuanzi hesitated for a moment.

“If we keep following like this, we'll lose our way,”

"Let's follow. This Cangshan Mountain seems to be hiding a peerless secret. We didn't know it before, but now that we do, we absolutely cannot sit idly by. Whether Dali can rise again depends on whether we can find the secret here."

Ever since the Xiao Jianxian destroyed an entire army of Dali with a single sword strike, the nation's strength has rapidly declined. Over the years, the Xiao Jianxian has weighed heavily on the hearts of the entire Dali Dynasty like a stone. Finding the Xiao Jianxian's secret and rebuilding Dali is the responsibility of their generation.

"Alright, let's give it a shot. I also want to see what kind of monsters and demons lurk outside the Great Qian Capital City."

Tian Yuanzi said fiercely, because even if they turned back now, they wouldn't be able to find their way out. In this deep mountain forest, they could easily get lost if they turned around. The only option now was to follow the White Tiger.

After running for a long time, which Xiao Xingchen estimated to be several tens of kilometers, demonstrating the immense size of the Cangshan Mountains, they finally reached a canyon. The Black Tiger stopped, not only without roaring but also silently crouching to one side.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Xingchen had lost count of how many times he had performed this national treasure today. What was he seeing? How could there be a complex of buildings here?
