gxia County, Zhao's Residence.County Magistrate Zhao Kang got up early, washed and dressed, and finished his breakfast. Only then did Zhao Zhongming, the head steward, report, “Master, Zhao Fu貴 from M..."Purple-clothed girl! I just asked around again, the woman you're looking for used to live in Wangjiazhuang. But just two days ago, something happened and she left. They say she went to Pingyuan County!"

Yang Lin came over, it was just a bunch of fooling around.

Ziyì heard this and frowned slightly: "Left"

"Yes, she definitely left! Many people in our village saw her heading towards Pingyuan County."

Yang Lin vowed solemnly.

The other person stared intently at Yang Lin's eyes, as if trying to glean something from them.

Yang Lin also met his gaze unflinchingly.

However, Ziyi glanced at it twice but returned to sit under the big tree: “I’ll wait for two more days. If I still don’t see him, I’ll go to Pingyuan County to look.”

Saying that, she unexpectedly closed her eyes again.

Yang Lin was speechless for a moment.

He also saw that the other party did not believe his words.

But we can't just let her wait there, either.

Since Li Yuyao herself said that she has no friends and left her hometown to end up here, then those who come looking for her are most likely enemies!

And this purple-clad figure is most likely here to hunt her down!

So, no matter what, he absolutely cannot let her get away with it!

"Purple-clothed girl, if you insist on waiting, it's best to remain in that courtyard and rest."

"Look here, you're a young woman, out in broad daylight, just standing here at the entrance of our village. If word gets out, people will think we're bullying you. That wouldn't be good for our village's reputation, would it"

Moreover, looking at your appearance, you must have traveled a long way and haven't rested properly yet, have you I've asked someone to prepare some clean bedding for you and will also boil a pot of piping hot meat soup. You see, the spices I use to make my meat soup are exquisite, it's guaranteed to be delicious and you'll love it.

Since we've come to our village, let us do our best as hosts and not make outsiders think that our village would abandon guests at the village entrance.

"Let's go, let's go."

Yang Lin said, as soon as he came up, he wanted to pull people.

Ziyi quietly swallowed.

Yang Lin's words truly touched her heart.

She had been on the road for days, enduring wind and rain, sleeping under the open sky. Her stomach was still empty, and if it weren't for her strong will, she might have given up already! Even now, she could only rely on meditation and breathing exercises to conserve her energy.

Finally thinking of the meat broth whose flavor she couldn't quite place, Zi Yi finally nodded and dodged Yang Lin's hand, standing up on her own.

Then, many thanks to you, young master.

Ziyi bowed again.

Accompanying Yang Lin to Liu's house to receive another villa he was given, Yang Lin enthusiastically made arrangements.

"The bedding is all new, the meat soup will be ready soon. Girl, rest in the room for a while, I'll go urge them along."

Yang Lin said, closing the door and leaving.

As soon as Qin Shuang stepped out the door, she immediately handed him a bronze padlock.

Yang Lin locked the door without hesitation!

The person in purple inside heard the noise and immediately ran over.

"Young Master Yang, what do you mean"

Through the wooden gate, Zi Yi asked.

"For the sake of the young lady!" Yang Lin shouted, "Don't worry, Miss Ziyi, we won't do anything to you. Just stay here at ease and someone will bring you food later!"

He plans to first subdue this woman of unknown origin and then bring Li Yuyao over to identify her, confirming whether she is friend or foe before taking further action.

However, to his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "Bang!" followed by a crashing sound. The sturdy wooden door was directly kicked open from the inside, and both doors slammed down with a deafening roar!

In the next instant, that seemingly fragile girl in purple was already stepping on the fallen door and arrived before Yang Lin. Yang Lin gasped for air.

Is this the power humans can have

"Did you calculate me"

Ziyì glared fiercely at Yáng Lín, raising her hand and lunging towards him.

"Protect Lin Ge!!"

Qin Shuang shouted loudly and charged forward first.

The guards on both sides, also rushed forward together.

Yang Lin only then let out a slight sigh of relief and secretly felt fortunate that he had seen through this purple-clad girl's identity as a martial artist early on, so he had Qin Shuang bring her guards to stand by.

At this moment, seven or eight burly men rushed forward. Even if the other party was a master, what could they do Yang Lin sneered.

In the next instant, a smile froze on Yang Lin's face.

After a clattering sound, Qin Shuang and the others who had just rushed up were inexplicably beaten to the ground, howling in pain.

In a blink of an eye, only Yang Lin was left standing!

Yang Lin's eyes widened, staring at the girl before him as if she were a monster.

Could this be the legendary martial arts master

Yang Lin's mind raced, and he quickly stammered with a smile, "Miss Ziyi, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I truly meant no harm. Look at you, your hands are so heavy... ouch!"

As Yang Lin spoke, he slowly retreated until he reached Qin Shuang who was lying on the ground. He suddenly picked up Qin Shuang's bow and crossbow that had fallen to the ground, nocked an arrow, drew the string, and aimed in one fluid motion!

In the blink of an eye, the crossbow was trained on Ziyin.

Only then did Yang Lin let out a sigh of relief.

Even at such close range, even if the opponent were a master, their speed couldn't possibly surpass that of a crossbow bolt.

"Purple-clothed maiden, you best return inside your room, or else do not blame me if the arrow in my hand does not have eyes!"

"I'm worried you might not know about crossbows and the power they possess. Just to be clear, this is a crossbow, faster than any bow and arrow. I don't wish to harm you, so Miss Ziyi, I suggest you cooperate willingly."

If the other party makes any rash moves, Yang Lin will also pull the trigger without hesitation!

However, when he finished speaking, Ziyi not only remained unmoved but also tilted her head, looking at the crossbow arrow in his hand as if she were very interested in it.

The other party's reaction was something Yang Lin had not anticipated.

"Doesn't the young lady believe I can shoot an arrow"

Yang Lin frowned.

Although he was still unsure of the other party's identity and didn't want to act rashly, being so ignored by a woman also made Yang Lin somewhat angry.

Purple didn't heed Yang Lin's words, but her gaze fixed on the back of his head and said, "This man is very cunning, not a word of truth comes out of his mouth, but he should know something."

Yang Lin's heart skipped a beat.

Who is she talking to

Is someone behind you

Or is she a feint, leading him to look back

Well, that should do it!

Having figured this out, Yang Lin naturally wouldn't look back.

There shouldn't be any sound behind me, if there was someone there it would be a ghost!

Yang Lin braced himself, his eyes locked on the woman in purple. He watched her every move with intense focus.

It was at that moment...

"Well, well, this is quite interesting. Take him away and interrogate him."

Behind Yang Lin, came a cold and low woman's voice!ot necessarily be completed successfully.Yang Lin didn't expect Du Jing and the others to finish it so quickly!Upon hearing this, Du Jing was startled and quickly declined.The rest all waved their han...
