第五卷 天云十二州 第一千零八十章 意外遇故

The young lady, Zheng Xuan, was filled with anxiety and worry. She had originally been unable to do anything about it, but one day while at a teahouse, she heard by chance that there had been an infant-level battle nearby, several old monsters were killed, and the killer might be the person on the wanted list.

This kind of talk among practitioners was just gossip after meals, hard to verify. But when Zheng Xuan heard that her mentor might be in danger nearby, she could no longer hold back. She knew that Senior Master Huang would not allow her to act alone, so she secretly left.

In a way, this girl acted like a brave calf, but despite being impulsive, she was also quite clever. She knew that openly asking about Lin Xuan's whereabouts might attract suspicion from those with ulterior motives. Therefore, every day she roamed around the nearby markets, especially teahouses, where information could be gathered.

To be honest, this method wasn't bad, but Zheng Xuan had overlooked one detail: her age and beauty. Although she was not old, she certainly deserved to be called beautiful. Back in Bixun Mountain, the old monster had forced Dugu Yin's couple to marry their daughter as a concubine because of her beauty.

In this place, with all kinds of people around, she was just a single female cultivator at the early stage of foundation consolidation, and naturally attracted the attention of those with evil intentions.

Three villains followed her for several days, finding that she had no elders accompanying her. They decided to take advantage of the situation and picked an unoccupied location.

The three bad guys were two middle-stage Foundation Consolidation cultivators and one late-stage Foundation Consolidation cultivator. With their strength, capturing a first-stage Foundation Consolidation female was easy.

They wanted to take this beautiful girl for themselves, but they thought that selling her to higher-level cultivators as acauldron tripod furnace might bring in tens of thousands of spiritual stones.

Although Zheng Xuan was at the Foundation Consolidation stage, she had been well taken care of by her parents and Senior Master Huang. Her experience was still shallow. She was caught unawares by these three bad guys.

The pervert revealed his fangs, expecting Zheng Xuan to submit without resistance. However, he forgot that her mentor was a remarkable figure. Lin Xuan and Yue Er always treated their belongings as if they were their own. His things naturally belonged to them.

Yue Er had rummaged through the storage bag when she left last time, sending many treasures to Zheng Xuan, including several talismans. Therefore, although her cultivation level was weak, she was indeed a multi-talented girl.

Of course, due to the difference in strength and numbers, they couldn't defeat these bad guys, but escaping wasn't an issue for her. The three were caught off guard, but it wouldn't be right to let the cooked duck fly away. Moreover, Zheng Xuan's endless treasures caused them much trouble, making them even more determined to capture her.

Firstly, their greed drove them to hope to obtain Zheng Xuan's storage bag; secondly, with such a wealthy background, she was almost certainly a descendant of an old monster. If they let her escape and provoked revenge, they would be in grave danger.

Therefore, they changed their minds: capturing her alive was best, enjoy first, then eliminate the threat. If that failed, they must ensure her death to avoid future troubles.

Despite Zheng Xuan's efforts, the three villains continued to pursue her like maggots.

And it just so happened that after spending countless efforts in the market without finding any clues about Lin Xuan, she met him at a critical moment of danger.

Upon understanding the situation, Lin Xuan frowned and said, "Xuan'er, we are too reckless. In this area, many people are waiting to rob and take advantage of others. Even condensation realm cultivators lack the ability to protect themselves."

"Senior Master, it was Xuan's impulsiveness. I will never do such a thing again," the young lady stood with her hands tied, her expression sincere as she obediently accepted the lesson.
