Robbery
"Rest early. We're going to the capital tomorrow!" He Chuan rubbed Wei Jianning's head lovingly and got up to return to his room.
The night was silent.
After receiving a thousand low-grade spirit stones from the four families the next morning, He Chuan left quietly with Wei Jianning.
Now that the matter was over, he should leave in a huff!
He Chuan released Little Black to open the way and brought Wei Jianning along day and night, preparing to make up for the delay.
As a sixth-rank beast, the Blackwater Mystical Snake full strength was comparable to that of a martial artist. It was extremely powerful.
With it leading the way, the journey was smooth and without any obstacles.
They would arrive at the Imperial Capital in about three days at this speed.
The capital city of the Yanyang Empire was vast and vast. Its population had already exceeded ten million, and it was also the place where the strongest cultivators of the Yanyang Empire gathered.
...
Night fell.
He Chuan noticed that Wei Jianning was a little tired and decisively gave up on the journey.
He called back Little Black to stay in the relay station to rest.
The moon was in the middle of the sky when a disturbance suddenly broke out at the relay station. Killing intent swept over, directly waking the two people who were resting.
Wei Jianning dashed into He Chuan's room and looked out the window worriedly.
"It's just a robbery." He Chuan comforted her.
"This is a martial artist relay station. Who has the guts to do this?" Wei Jianning said in shock.
There were two types of relay stations in the Yanyang Empire.
The first type was for the Empire's army, officials, and important figures to stay and rest.
The second type was a place specially provided for martial artists to rest.
The relay station they were staying at belonged to the second type, also known as the martial artist relay station.
As the name suggested, almost all the people who stayed here were martial artists.
Who had the guts to come here to rob? Did they not want to live?
Many of the bandits in the Yanyang were martial artists. There were also martial artists in the Divine Continent who became bandits.
Although robbing a martial artist relay station was rare, it was not unheard of. It was just that their luck was not too good, and they happened to encounter it.
To be honest, He Chuan was also a little depressed.
Before entering the Imperial Capital, they encountered a robbery at a martial artist relay station.
The journey to the capital was really not peaceful!
"Why don't we go?" Wei Jianning said worriedly.
Since this group of people knew this was a martial artist's relay station, they still dared to rob.
Obviously, they had enough strength and were confident that they could take care of all the martial artists.
Under such circumstances, it would be unwise for them to continue staying here.
"It's fine!" He Chuan stood up and poured himself a cup of tea. He took a sip and said.
If they knew what was good for them, it would be fine if they did not provoke him.
If they did not know what was good for them, their good days would come to an end!
Seeing her third brother's confident expression, Wei Jianning nodded with relief.
Since He Chuan said it was fine, then it must be fine. She trusted He Chuan a hundred percent.
Wei Jianning was no longer worried. Instead, she was curious. She wanted to see what kind of person dared to rob the martial artists' relay station. She immediately opened the window to take a look.
Wei Jianning's hand had just touched the window, but the window opened automatically before she could exert any force.
A pair of big, bright eyes blinked as he looked at her.
"Ah!" Wei Jianning quickly covered her red lips and retreated.
A little head poked in, and the dirty little face looked young and delicate.
Her lively eyes looked around the room without any hesitation.
The little fellow didn't have any intention of being polite. Its short body is directly burrowed in.
The five or six-year-old girl was dressed in ragged clothes and had unkempt hair and a dirty face.
Her entire body was still emitting a faint stench, and she looked like a little beggar who had fallen into the streets.
"Who are you?" Wei Jianning came back to her senses and covered her red lips.
"My name is Ren Xiaomeng!" The little girl closed the window steadily and smiled sweetly at He Chuan and the other man.
"Ren Xiaomeng?" Wei Jianning looked confused as she carefully sized up the little girl.
"You guys are lucky to have met me." Ren Xiaomeng blinked her eyes and casually walked over to He Chuan and sat down. She didn't look afraid and said proudly.
"I might as well tell you that I'm actually very rich in the capital. If you are willing to help me when I encounter some difficulties, I will definitely reward you heavily when I return to the clan." Ren Xiaomeng poured herself a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.
Her posture was like a young lady from a rich family, completely out of place with her clothes.
Wei Jianning looked at He Chuan blankly.
"Then I have to ask, how will you reward me?" He Chuan saw that the girl was cute, so he didn't mind.
"At least a top-grade Spirit Pill!" Ren Xiaomeng put down her teacup and said without thinking.
Top-grade Spirit Pill!
Wei Jianning's red lips parted slightly in surprise.
Even in the entire Yanyang Empire, there weren't many top-grade Spirit Pills.
The little girl in front of them had promised a top-grade Spirit Pill. Could it be that what she said was true?
"As long as you help me hide today, I'll give you whatever top-grade Spirit Stones or martial arts techniques you want." Ren Xiaomeng glanced at Wei Jianning from the corner of her eye and said with a sly look in her big eyes.
Hearing this, Wei Jianning looked at He Chuan excitedly.
"Don't be anxious!" He Chuan's expression did not change at all.
Putting aside the credibility of the little girl's words, even top-grade Spirit Pills and top-grade Spirit Stones were not worth his attention.
Such a high reward was indeed tempting.
"How do you want us to help you?" He Chuan picked up his teacup and smiled.
"The bad guys outside want to kidnap me. As long as you hide me to avoid being captured, the reward will be yours!" Ren Xiaomeng's eyes flashed with the expression of someone who had succeeded in their evil scheme as she said calmly.
"That simple?" Wei Jianning was dumbfounded.
"How is it? Isn't this a good deal?" Ren Xiaomeng looked at Wei Jianning and said confidently.
"Not worth it." He Chuan put down his cup and shook his head.
"The fact that the group of people outside dared to barge into the martial artists' relay station showed they were confident enough."
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "If they can't find you later, they'll definitely search the rooms one by one. It's not difficult to hide a little girl, but avoiding being searched will be difficult."
The reward was indeed very tempting, but if he didn't have a family, who would he ask for the reward?
"What do you mean?" Ren Xiaomeng's confident expression suddenly became nervous.
"I'm not interested in helping out, much less helping a liar." He Chuan sat up straight and said.
Ren Xiaomeng's expression changed completely.
She didn't have the confidence and calmness from before. Instead, her entire body was tense. Her big, lively eyes seemed to be thinking of a countermeasure.
Liar?
Wei Jianning looked at Ren Xiaomeng and calmed down.
This little girl's words were clear and logical, but if it was really, as she said, the family behind her must be powerful. It was even very likely they had a pivotal position in the Imperial City.
Such a powerful family would definitely send powerful martial artists to protect their five or six-year-old children. How could she have fallen into such a state?
A family that could casually take out top-grade Spirit Pills and top-grade Spirit Stones was at least one of the four major families in the imperial capital.
However, Wei Jianning clearly remembered that none of the four major families in Beijing had the surname Ren!
"If you were a servant girl, it would be different." He Chuan said.
A servant girl!
Ren Xiaomeng was dumbfounded.
