r, he lured girls who looked somewhat similar to his mother into his home and then made them his victims."Geez, that's when he becomes psychologically disturbed."Xiaomei covered her mouth and said.He...Liàn Yī and Wang Zhēn Zhēn were hiding behind the counter of the inn, not at all intending to intervene. As long as they weren't affected, that was enough for them.

The innkeeper, who was also hiding under the counter, had a pained expression on his face. He gave Ripple and her companion an awkward smile that was worse than crying.

"Boss, does this kind of thing happen here often"

The ripples asked proactively.

"It happens occasionally, but they're just minor squabbles, never this serious. This time I'm afraid it will get the attention of the authorities, and my inn might be shut down."

The innkeeper looked utterly miserable.

Just as he finished speaking, a wooden table crashed into the edge of the counter. The deafening sound made the boss tremble and cower, clutching his head and pressing himself even lower.

The sounds of fighting throughout the inn gradually subsided, it was estimated that the fight was nearing its end.

"You, you, don't come any closer! Do you know who I am I'm from the House of King Longxi! If anything happens to me, the Wang family will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"

Previously, he had still wanted to recruit the young men like Liàn Yī and Wáng Zhēnzhēn. Seeing himself at a disadvantage, with his guards falling one after another, he finally became anxious and immediately pulled out his connections.

"Humph! I'll kill you!"

A shirtless man said fiercely.

He then leaped forward, using his momentum to swing down a heavy blow that felled one of the guards. He charged again towards the young man being protected in the center.

Liàn Yī and Wang Zhēn Zhēn looked at each other, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.

"Auntie, have you met this person"

"No recollection."

But he was using the Wang family's banner and didn't look like my little uncle.

He is not Wang Yaohui, the age doesn't match. Although his face looks familiar, I can't remember who he is for a moment.

"Should we save him"

"Save them first, then ask about it in detail."

"Okay, let's wait for the crucial moment and then strike. That way, he'll be eternally grateful to us."

Ripple smiled and said.

Both communicated silently, exchanging glances and reaching a consensus on their next move.

"Ah-Biao, you you don't die!"

The young master let out a cry, trying to catch the falling guard, but his small frame was no use. He fell along with him. The guard loyally shielded the young master behind him, just as a long sword lunged towards his heart.

With a muffled groan, Abiao's guards were completely knocked unconscious.

"Ah Biao!!!"

The bloodcurdling scream made the assassin's hand tremble.

With a deafening clang, the assassin's blade was sent flying. He whirled around to see a long sword dancing in the air, carving a deadly path across his comrade's neck before returning to the hand of a woman clad in crimson.

Wang Zhenzhen didn't give the shirtless man a chance to react. She drew her sword from behind and plunged it into his chest, eliminating the last assassin.

The ripple then crossed the bodies strewn across the ground, reaching the young master who was petrified with fright. It smiled and asked:

"May I ask your esteemed name, sir After all, we will be traveling the same path from now on. Shouldn't we exchange names"

As he spoke, ripples “lapped” with a sound as the sword returned to its sheath. The threat was clear and unmistakable.

“My name is Wang Yaozu. I am a member of the Wang family from Longxi, and my older brother is currently the head of the family. We are close relatives!”

Wang Yaozu looked at the two people in front of him, regretting that he almost slapped himself. How could he have been so blind He mistook the man-eating flower for a white lotus and even wanted to ask it to serve tea and water. He really thought his life was too long.

"Auntie, how come I suddenly have another uncle"

"No wonder I thought this man looked familiar, especially his eyes. They resemble your great-grandfather's concubine very closely."

After whispering a few words to each other, Lian Ri turned her head and took a good look at her new brother-in-law. She walked around Wang Yaozhu, who was sitting on the ground unable to get up, then said:

"Young Master Wang, it's fate that we met. And besides, we even saved your life! Shouldn't you repay this life-saving grace like a surging spring"

"Little Heroine, how do you want me to repay you"

Wang Yaozu asked in a small, meek voice, completely devoid of the arrogance he had displayed before.

"Aren't the Wang family of Longxi wealthy enough to rival a country How much do you think your life is worth"

The ripples caused Wang Yaizu to fall, so Lian'yi picked up the fallen folding fan and closed it before smiling and returning it to him.

Wang Yanzou quickly scanned the two of them with his eyes, carefully and respectfully took over the folding fan, and after some consideration, said:

"Our family is wealthy, but I've been studying abroad and don't have much money on me. I can only wait until I return to Longxi and see my older brother. Whatever amount you want, I can ask my brother to pay."

"What you're saying isn't right, it's like we're using your life as a bargaining chip."

Ripples swept over a field of corpses, and the Meaningful Voice said longingly.

Miss, what do you want

Wang Yaozu wasn't stupid, he immediately changed his tune and asked.

"Although my sister and I are just entering the martial world, we consider ourselves highly skilled. Protecting a few people is nothing to us. Besides, your guards are either dead or injured. It's still a long way from Longxi here. Without their protection for the rest of the journey, you're likely to face many difficulties."

"The one who came to kill you failed his mission, there will definitely be another wave coming. If you want to safely return to the Longxi Wang family, wouldn't you need strong bodyguards Just so happens that my senior sister and I also want to go to Longxi to broaden our horizons, and we don't want to use the life-saving grace to blackmail you, so we reluctantly take on the task of escorting you home. What do you think"

"Really Really"

Wang Yaozu was also taken aback by the two people's martial arts prowess and asked in surprise.

"Of course, this escort fee and reward for saving lives, together they amount to five thousand taels of gold!"

"Five thousand taels Gold"

Wang Yaizu's jaw dropped as he exclaimed.

"Think I undercharged you Well, you are the young master of the Longxi Wang family. This price doesn't reflect your status and wealth, so let's round it up to ten thousand taels of gold."

"Ripples, I absolutely didn't mean to look down on you. I just raised the price by double as soon as I opened my mouth."

Let's make a written agreement so there won't be any misunderstandings later.

Ripples came to the counter and knocked on the countertop. The boss only trembled and cautiously poked his head out from behind the counter, stammering as he asked:

Hero, what is your command

"Take out the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and use them."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper immediately let out a sigh of relief. He took out a brush, paper, and inkstone from under the counter and laid them neatly on it.

Ripple, having written the escort document with her pen and blown dry the ink, beckoned to Wang Yaozhu who had already stood up.

"Master Wang, come here! Sign your name, and our employment contract will be officially established."

Wang Yaizu carefully crossed the obstacles in the hall and came to the counter. After looking over the contents of the contract, he signed his name with no backbone, and was then led by Lian Yi to press his red handprint.

"Come, two copies, one for you and one for me. I hope along the way you will follow the arrangements, and your life will be preserved until you return safely to the Wang family in Longxi."e back door. They didn't even allow ripples to get out of the carriage, directly sending the two of them to Bi Lan Yuan.An upright and stern-faced old nanny was already waiting at the gate of Bi Lan G...
