The first recommendation was more important, so the swordsman mainly adjusted the details of the outline for the next two days and prepared to update more next week. Today, I will only update this chapter. Brothers, please understand.

"Neigh …"
Wang Yan held the reins tightly and stopped the horse. Then he turned his head and looked back, only to see shadows in the forest, except for the swaying branches. After Wang Yan snatched the horse, he galloped madly through the forest. There was no longer any movement behind him, but he still galloped all the way to the depths of the forest where it was difficult to walk through the dense foliage before stopping.
"Horse, horse, thank you so much this time, but I have to walk the next road by myself. You go by yourself."
Wang Yan turned over and got off the horse. He held the horse's head and said softly. He was really grateful to the horse. He didn't know how to ride a horse, so he learned from it. Fortunately, the horse was docile and let him drive it all the way, so he could get rid of the pursuers and run all the way here.
Sigh.
The horse snorted and broke away from Wang Yan in disgust. It shook its mane desperately, and then glanced up at Wang Yan with its nostrils, as if it was making sure if Wang Yan really let it go.
Seeing the horse's reaction, Wang Yan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He looked down at himself. The dark red horse's blood stained his long robe, and there were a lot of pieces of meat hanging on the dried blood. His whole body emitted a strong stench. No wonder the horse hated him so much.
"Let's go, I should leave too."
Wang Yan glanced at the path he had come from before gently stroking the horse's mane. Then, he turned around and strode into the dense forest.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the crescent moon quietly hung on the branches. There was a gentle breeze in the forest, and the sound of the wind was like the whispers of lovers. Wang Yan ran, unconsciously feeling happy. Maybe it was because he liked this environment, or maybe it was because he was happy to escape.
"Why don't men wear hooks …"
Delighted, Wang Yan couldn't help but recite poems. Originally, he didn't know these things, but during the days he spent hanging out with Zhang Xiaobao and Gu Xiaoyue's subordinates, Wang Yan would often hear them recite sword-like poems to express their heroism, and Wang Yan had memorized many of them.
After reciting the first song, Wang Yan seemed to feel that it was not enough. While reciting it again, he unsheathed the longsword in his hand and unleashed a cold sword light. His figure seemed to be flying as he practiced the Yuanying Sword Technique.
Wang Yan had only just begun to practice this sword technique. Originally, it was inevitable that he would be jerky when he used his Qi and sword. But now, it was as smooth as flowing mercury. The more he practiced, the more carefree he became. The reason why the Yuanying Sword Technique was chosen as the main sword technique of the guarding disciples was because of its uniqueness. The sword technique that Wang Yan used to crush the horse's belly when he fought against the bearded man was the seventh style of this sword technique, 'World Returns Together'. The biggest characteristic of this sword technique was that it was unstoppable, advancing without retreating, seeking a chance to win between life and death.
For Wang Yan, this sword technique coincided with the state of mind he had when he was in danger. Therefore, when he practiced this sword technique, his body and sword became one, and his heart and mind (the true meaning of the sword technique) became one. He had entered an indescribably wonderful state.
"… If you dare to reach the Nine Heavens to grasp the bright moon, why not dance with your sword in the sky?"
After an unknown period of time, Wang Yan finally finished reciting the incantation. Finally, he slowly sheathed his sword and lifted his head to look at the sky. He stared at the countless stars in the firmament, as if he was trying to comprehend something. All of a sudden, a crisp voice sounded out from nearby.
"Sister, is there something wrong with this person's brain? Previously, in order to save a few coins to enter the town, he raised his hand and killed that ruffian. After that, he was chased like a rabbit. Who would have thought that after he escaped with great difficulty, he would not be sure if there was anyone following him. Now, he is here reciting poems and practicing sword techniques. What's the use of finding such a person? "
Wang Yan's eyes lit up. He turned around with his sword in hand and looked toward the source of the voice. He saw two figures, one tall and one short, about twenty to thirty meters away. Seeing this, he immediately took half a step back and slightly arched his upper body, making a fully alert posture.
"Little Fei, don't be rude."
A soft but slightly hoarse voice sounded. Immediately after, Wang Yan saw two figures walking toward him. When they were about ten meters away from each other, the two stopped. With the help of the moonlight, Wang Yan could roughly see who was approaching. It was a young woman and a young girl.
The young woman was wearing a silk skirt. Her hair was tied up in an ordinary high bun, and there was a sheathed long sword at her waist. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, judging from her slender figure, she must be a beautiful woman.
"Young hero, there is no need to be so nervous. I am Gongsun Sanniang and my sworn sister. We have no ill intentions in coming to find you."
As she spoke, the woman who called herself Gongsun Sanniang bowed to Wang Yan from afar. Then, she pulled on the sleeve of the young girl next to her, indicating that she should greet Wang Yan.
This young girl was wearing a light yellow gown. Her hair was combed into a ponytail, and her arms were folded in front of her chest. However, she was facing Wang Yan sideways. In addition to her previous words, it was obvious that she looked down on Wang Yan. It was only because Gongsun Sanniang had repeatedly asked that she reluctantly cupped her fists and said to Wang Yan, "Ye Xiaofei, Jianghu people call me 'Yi Zhi Mei'. Greetings, Your Excellency."
Wang Yan's heart trembled slightly. He knew that anyone who had a title in Jianghu was a famous master. Even the weakest was at the peak of the Nurturing Embryo Stage. However, he had never heard of the title 'Yi Zhi Mei', and this yellow-robed girl did not have the bearing of a master.
However, no matter what, these two people did not seem to have any intention of fighting for the time being. In addition, Wang Yan had learned his lesson before. Therefore, he stood up straight and returned the greeting. He said, "I am Wang Yan. It's my first time here. What can I do for you two?"
"Young Hero, you are too courteous. My visit this time …"
Before Gongsun Sanniang could finish his words, the yellow-robed girl, Ye Xiaofei, suddenly took a few steps forward and said, "We are here to ask for your help. Just treat it as a task. I'll give you ten taels of gold. Will you do it?"
Ten taels of gold?
Wang Yan frowned slightly. He had risked his life for Gu Xiaoyue for more than half a month and had only received a dozen taels of gold. These two people suddenly came to his door and said that they wanted to help. They even asked for ten taels of gold. How could there be such a good thing in this world? However, Wang Yan did not directly refuse. He looked at Gongsun Sanniang. It was obvious that this girl was the one in charge.
As expected, when she saw Wang Yan looking at her, Gongsun Sanniang grabbed Ye Xiaofei and said, "Xiaofei, if you continue to be so rude, I will really get angry."
After saying that, Gongsun Sanniang hurriedly took two steps forward. Then, she bowed deeply to Wang Yan and said, "This servant has come to find Young Hero, just to ask for your help. I also know that this is too abrupt. I am willing to give Young Hero ten taels of gold. After I have avenged my great enemy, I am willing to pass on my ancestral inheritance …"
"I'll give you another twenty taels of gold!"
Ye Xiaofei interrupted Gongsun Sanniang again. After she finished speaking, she did not care about Gongsun Sanniang's reaction. She went straight to Wang Yan. Wang Yan saw that her steps were unsteady and her eyes were filled with impatience. He lowered his guard slightly.
