When Ren Xiaosu and the Razor Sharp Company attacked the Beiwan River together, everyone was still worried about how they should fight it. In the end, the Kyung Clan's troops arrived and took over the Beiwan River overnight with a lightning raid.
Everyone thought the Kyung Clan might have some other motives. However, they did not. It was only because Qing Zhen and Luo Lan found out about Ren Xiaosu that he wanted to help him fight the Soong Clan. This was also what shocked Zhang Xiaoman back then. No one in the Razor Sharp Company expected the Kyung Clan to value their relationship with Ren Xiaosu so much.
Moreover, back at Stronghold 88, Luo Lan had also stood on their side at the Yang family's banquet. When everyone was mocking them, it was Luo Lan who stood up for them.
And now, Luo Lan was in Stronghold 61. Since Ren Xiaosu had read about him in the newspapers, there was no reason for him not to save him.
Ren Xiaosu got Zhou Yingxue to test it out. To be safe, he wanted to see if Zhou Yingxue would really not be attacked by the creeper vines.
To Ren Xiaosu's surprise, when Zhou Yingxue walked towards the gate blocked by the creeper vines, the vines actually made way for Zhou Yingxue to pass through. Zhou Yingxue turned around and looked at her master. "Master, I didn't lie. It really won't attack me."
Ren Xiaosu frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Then can you make it not attack me as well?"
The creeper vines were densely packed, and even if Ren Xiaosu got in, it would still be a little troublesome. Therefore, it was still better to rely on Zhou Yingxue's power.
However, Zhou Yingxue explained, "I don't think it's possible …."
"Let's give it a try first." Ren Xiaosu walked to Zhou Yingxue's side. But as soon as he walked over, the extremely aggressive creeper vines stabbed at him.
Zhou Yingxue was about to rush forward to save him when she saw the black saber in Ren Xiaosu's hand flash. The creeper vines that were stabbing at him all broke apart and fell to the ground.
"Master, this is too dangerous." Zhou Yingxue said, "Let's not go. As your maidservant, I can't let you put yourself in danger!"
To put it bluntly, Zhou Yingxue absolutely did not want to enter such a strange place. Although she could stop the creeper vines from attacking her, who knew what else might happen inside?
When Zhou Yingxue saw Ren Xiaosu frowning and not saying a word, she thought Ren Xiaosu had been persuaded by her. So she added, "Master, think about it. We've been relying on each other for so long, so how can I just watch you throw your life away? It'll be very dangerous for you to go in! "
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I won't go. Be careful when you go in alone."
Zhou Yingxue, "???"
Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue. "Is there a problem? Yesterday, Hope Media reported on the hotel that Luo Lan is staying at. Go to the hotel and look for him first. If he's not there, you can check the bank vault. If he's not there either, you can look for him in the center of the stronghold. Luo Lan is a smart man. Since the creeper vines are going in from the outside, he can only run towards the center of the stronghold. "
"Ahem." Zhou Yingxue said, "Master, I suddenly remembered that you won't be attacked if you hold my hand …."
Ren Xiaosu sneered, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I just remembered," Zhou Yingxue explained. She was on the verge of breaking down. How could she have known that her master would let her go in alone? If he had known, he would have said so earlier! Master, you're too cruel!
Ren Xiaosu cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Yingxue. "Can you really stop the creeper vines from attacking me?"
Zhou Yingxue nodded like she was pounding garlic. "I guarantee that as long as you hold my hand, Master, the creeper vines will never attack you!"
"Alright, wait here." Ren Xiaosu then returned to town. Zhou Yingxue stood there in a daze. She did not know what Ren Xiaosu was up to.
Ten minutes later, Ren Xiaosu returned. Zhou Yingxue was shocked to see that Ren Xiaosu was holding a pair of gloves in his hand!
"Master, what are you doing?" Zhou Yingxue asked.
"Men and women shouldn't touch hands. Let's put on gloves!" Ren Xiaosu said.
"Master, do you have to do this?!" Zhou Yingxue did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Aren't you just holding my hand? Are my hands dirty?"
"Don't overthink it. I just feel that we should avoid some misunderstandings." Ren Xiaosu explained casually, "After all, it's a little hard to explain after holding another girl's hand. Although she can't see it, I have to be honest with her."
"Master, you're too pure." Zhou Yingxue could not even mutter. This master in front of her had done so many earth-shattering things, yet he was not even willing to hold another woman's hand!
Ren Xiaosu had already put on the gloves. Then he held Zhou Yingxue's hand and tried again. Indeed, the creeper vines were no longer attacking him.
Ren Xiaosu was worried that he would not be able to do it with the gloves on. But now, he could finally heave a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue kept rolling her eyes at the side.
Most of the refugees in town had already run away with the soldiers who had just escaped. Only a few of them were still watching from the sidelines.
Qin Sheng was standing not far from Ren Xiaosu and the others when he suddenly said, "I'll go with y 'all!"
Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at Qin Sheng. This young Knight was also very strong. If a battle were to break out, he would be a great help.
But this time, they were not going to be fighting humans or wild animals. The enemy was a plant. Moreover, based on the Knight's nature, he might even try his best to save some of the survivors in the stronghold after entering the stronghold. This might slow down his progress in finding Luo Lan. As such, Ren Xiaosu decisively rejected him. "You can just wait in town. Aren't you Knights not allowed to enter the stronghold while you're training in town?"
"But we're in a difficult situation right now, so how can I just stand by and watch? Besides, even if I go in, Teacher might not know about it," Qin Sheng explained.
Ren Xiaosu said, "If you go in, I'll go to Luoyang City and report you."
Qin Sheng was speechless.
After that, Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue walked into Stronghold 61. Qin Sheng was about to rush in after them, but the creeper vine's vines blocking the gate had already closed up again, leaving Qin Sheng powerless to do anything.
At this moment, Qin Sheng realized there was probably no one among humans who could face the creeper vine alone. Not even supernatural beings could do it.
The group of refugees watching from the sidelines watched helplessly as Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue walked into the stronghold. They could not understand why someone would still dare to take the initiative to enter the stronghold at a time like this.
That person was way too daring!
Ren Xiaosu could be considered a familiar face in town. Everyone only knew he was rich, but they did not know he was also a supernatural being.
And the person who addressed him as "master" was also a supernatural being?
After Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue entered the stronghold, the first thing that shocked him was that everything he saw had turned green.
The dense creeper vines were like a sea, and he and Zhou Yingxue looked extremely small in comparison.
