"Miss Xixi, your father asked me to take care of you before I left. You can stay with me for the time being."
Wen Zhihuan took off his robe and covered Cheng Xixi with it as he spoke. He then extended his folding fan.
Cheng Xixi's eyes flashed with joy. She grabbed Wen Zhihuan's folding fan and followed him.
"Young Master Wen, you can't be deceived by that evil martial artist …" Song Tianying said anxiously. However, Wen Zhihuan ignored him.
Zhou Yang looked at Wen Zhihuan and nodded. He then turned around and left.
Men and women should not touch each other. Wen Zhihuan's action of pulling Cheng Xixi with his folding fan made Zhou Yang admire him again. He was a true gentleman.
He had once heard that a portion of the people in the Confucian Pavilion cultivated the righteous energy of heaven and earth. These people hated evil as if it was their mortal enemy, and they were all gentlemen without any evil thoughts in their hearts.
Wen Zhihuan was obviously one of these people.
"I didn't expect there to be such a person in the imperial city …"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but look forward to the imperial city even more.
Late at night, the waning moon hung in the west, and the wind was cool.
A figure flashed across the gravel plain under the moonlight. Several cold lights flew in all directions as the figure flickered.
After the cold light flew out, it turned a few times in a row, looking like a ghost.
"The Four-line Deadly Flying Dagger is indeed powerful. If everything goes well, I can reach the fifth line after breaking through to the Wood Planet realm …"
The figure stopped. It was Zhou Yang.
He had been chasing after the magpie girl while practicing the Deadly Flying Dagger.
He hadn't practiced the Deadly Flying Dagger for a long time, but he couldn't let it go as it was the ultimate skill of the Supreme Assassin.
He was also delighted to find that the Deadly Flying Dagger contained a trace of the Flowing Light Sword Principle, which gave him an opportunity to break through the Light Sword Principle.
"The magpie girl stopped. Seems like she sensed me behind her …"
Zhou Yang looked at the Five Elements Tracking Plate and pondered for a moment. He then put away the dagger and rushed forward.
Soon, a group of six people appeared in front of him, including the magpie girl.
"What a coincidence …"
Zhou Yang pretended to be arrogant and strode toward the six people.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Ge frowned, then smiled and walked forward. "What a coincidence. But brother, where's your cauldron?"
"The cauldron is already useless. Wouldn't it be a burden to bring it along?" Zhou Yang said disdainfully.
"Haha …" Jiang Ge laughed without saying a word. At this moment, the magpie lady walked forward and asked with a smile, "May I know how to address you, my lord?"
"You flatter me. Just call me Lord Hundred Flowers," said Zhou Yang with a smile.
"Master Hundred Flowers!"
Everyone revealed a contemptuous smile. Only Jiang Ge asked curiously, "What is the relationship between Brother Hundred Flower and Prince Passion Flower?"
"He can be considered my Senior Brother. Even though we both practice the Yin Harvesting Technique to supplement Yang, my technique is better than his Passion Flower Mantra," Zhou Yang said proudly.
"I see …"
Although Jiang Ge said so, his eyes flashed with suspicion.
"Since you're a subordinate of the field mouse leader, why don't you come with us? We're on our way back to the encampment," said the magpie girl.
Zhou Yang nodded. "Alright, but I don't like crowds, especially places with lots of men."
With that, Zhou Yang looked at the magpie lady again before turning and walking into the darkness.
"Then why don't you let me accompany you, Young Master?"
The magpie girl followed closely behind him, and the two soon disappeared into the darkness.
"This guy doesn't look like he's from the evil sects, and I've never heard of Prince Passion Flower having a Junior Brother …" someone walked up to Jiang Ge and said.
"It doesn't matter if he's from the evil sects or not, he won't have a good ending for stealing my cauldron."
"Not only did he steal your cauldron, but even the woman you're interested in has gone with him."
"Hmph, all women like to climb up the social ladder, but I'll soon let him know who's the real boss in this encampment."
Although they weren't talking loudly, Zhou Yang could hear them clearly, but he didn't care.
"Master, I missed you so much …"
When they were a thousand feet away, the Vermilion Girl put on an aggrieved expression.
"Is there any news about the fire beast?" Zhou Yang asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it's at the encampment, but it's a little troublesome."
"Troublesome?"
"Yes, the fire beast is controlled by the Fifth Young Lady with a Gu worm. It's now locked in the Fifth Young Lady's beast pen. It'll be very difficult to get it." The magpie girl frowned.
"Who's the Fifth Young Lady?" Zhou Yang was puzzled.
"She's one of the five leaders of the encampment, and she's also a great beauty. However, she's a venomous beauty. It's said that she might be from the Gu King's family, and she's here to find the inheritance of the Gu King. She's deeply trusted by the Snake King …"
Then, the magpie girl told Zhou Yang about the situation of the demon encampment.
Zhou Yang pondered for a moment with a hint of worry in his eyes.
The Snake King mentioned by the magpie girl was a snake demon under the Demon King, and its strength must be at the Gold Star State. More importantly, it had seen him in the Blood Bat Cave. If that was the case, Jiang Ge wouldn't be able to sneak into the encampment.
Apart from that, the Snake King had five leaders under him. Among them, the Fifth Young Lady was the most favored. Field Mouse, who was a half-demon, had the highest prestige. The other three leaders were all martial artists from the evil sects, and Jiang Ge was the younger brother of one of them.
"Is the Snake King in the encampment now?"
Zhou Yang asked after a while.
"He's in the encampment now, but he's in seclusion. We won't meet him for the time being."
Zhou Yang nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. "Did you find anything about the Monarch City?"
"Master, you must be referring to the marriage between Miss Tang and Jian Wuhen, right?"
"That's right." Zhou Yang frowned. He didn't like it when people talked about Tang Yuewu and other men.
"I heard that Miss Tang has been evading it by saying that she's not feeling well. However, there are rumors that it might happen soon, because the officiant of the wedding in the Imperial City has arrived …"
Officiant of the wedding!
Zhou Yang frowned. He guessed that the officiant of the wedding would either be Marquis Zhao or Long Jue.
"Don't worry, Master. Field Mouse has already sent people to the Monarch City after learning about your matter. We'll know as soon as there's news. I'm sure they won't pick a random time for such a big event. They'll spread the news at least ten days to half a month in advance …"
Zhou Yang nodded. His analysis was the same as the magpie girl's.
He guessed that Wen Zhihuan from the Confucian Pavilion would definitely attend the wedding. After all, his identity was not simple. It was impossible for him not to participate in such a big event. Moreover, Song Tianying, the heir of the Song Family of the Monarch City, and the daughter of the Cheng Family were also here …
Therefore, when these people left, he could also leave.
Thinking of this, his heart finally relaxed. He wanted to continue asking about the Fifth Young Lady, but his super hearing reminded him that someone was approaching.
