In the secret chamber of the East Chamber.
Cao Shaoqin took a sip of tea and asked,"Have you finished your business?"”
"This subordinate was incompetent and let them escape.”
A person stood respectfully in front of Cao Shaoqin. He was wearing a dark cloak and a black cloth covered his face, making him look very mysterious. If Zhou Jie was present, he would be shocked because this person was the leader of the Blackstone Assassins, the Cakravarti King.
When Cao Shaoqin heard that the mission had failed, he slammed the table and said angrily,""Humph! You are one of the top assassin organizations in Jianghu, but you can't even kill an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts. What's the point of letting you live?"”
"Milord, please calm down. We were about to succeed, but we didn't expect someone to interfere, so we failed.”The Cakravarti King hurriedly explained. He knew Cao Shaoqin's usual style. If he didn't explain clearly, he wouldn't be able to leave this secret chamber.
"Oh, who is so capable that they can take her away from your hands?”Cao Shaoqin listened to Cakravarti King's explanation and thought of all the possible candidates, but he still had no idea.
The Cakravarti King knew that this was his last chance, so he hurriedly said,""Originally, Zhou Jie and Yang Yuxuan were already at a disadvantage. It was only a matter of time before they killed Zhao Bensan. However, they didn't expect the Divine Constabulary to suddenly appear. Lei Bin and Cai Xishi were no match for them. They were lucky to have escaped.”
"Divine Constabulary?" Cao Shaoqin narrowed his eyes and played with the teacup in his hand. He pondered for a long time and said,""I'll let you off this time, but I don't want there to be a next time. Do you understand?”
"I understand. Thank you for sparing my life.”The Cakravarti King heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. The crisis was over.
"Sir, should we still go after Zhao Bensan?" the Cakravarti King asked cautiously.”
"Forget it. Now that they had already alerted the enemy, sending people to chase after them would inevitably arouse suspicion. If that old thing Wang Zhi comes out, wouldn't everything I've done be worth it?”
Cao Shaoqin took a sip of tea and closed his eyes contentedly.
"This subordinate will take his leave." The Cakravarti King had lived for so long, how could he not see Cao Shaoqin's order to leave? He excused himself and left the secret chamber.
As soon as the door closed, Cao Shaoqin suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with anger. It was obvious that he was not as calm as he looked.
At this moment, Yang Yuxuan had already driven the carriage out of the capital.
"Ding! [Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission: Escort Zhao Bensan.]
[Reward: 400 Chivalry Points, one Lottery Draw Card, one Special Status Exchange Coupon] Please pay attention to your rewards."
Zhou Jie let out a breath of turbid air and woke up from his cultivation state. When he heard the system notification, he knew that he was safe.
"Phew!"
Yang Yuxuan pulled the carriage to the side of the road and jumped out. He said to Zhao Bensan in the carriage,""Now that we're out of the capital, I don't think the assassins will come again. You can go on your own!”
Zhao Bensan jumped out of the car and cupped his hands at Yang Yuxuan and Zhou Jie.""Thank you for saving my life. I can't thank you enough.”
"Let's go! Don't try to cheat people by telling fortunes in the future. That silver is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life.”Zhou Jie was injured and had only been bandaged in a hurry. He could not get up at all. He could only lift the curtain and bid farewell to Zhao Bensan.
"After so many things, I don't dare to read people's fortunes anymore.”Zhao Bensan sighed, then cupped his hands at Yang Yuxuan and Zhou Jie before turning around and heading home.
"How are you? Can you hold on?”Although Yang Yuxuan's tone was still cold, Zhou Jie could still hear the concern in his words.
Zhou Jie chuckled." This small injury won't kill me. I'll be fine after a few days."”
Seeing that Zhou Jie was still able to joke around, Yang Yuxuan was relieved. He drove back to the clinic.
Zhou Jie sat in the carriage and contacted the system.""Reward received."
The lottery draw card and exchange voucher appeared in front of Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie picked up the coupon and asked,"System, what's the use of this coupon?"”
Special status coupon (No rating): An item that only appears in the mission reward. The holder of this coupon is eligible to exchange for special statuses such as enlightenment, concentration, immunity to poison, etc. in the system. You can use Chivalry Points to strengthen the effects of the status or extend the duration.
Zhou Jie was dumbfounded when he saw the introduction. He had a new understanding of the system's magic. One had to know that these special statuses were something that people in the martial arts world could only dream of. Even those grandmaster-level experts might not have encountered them many times.
On the other hand, Zhou Jie only needed to complete the corresponding mission to exchange for it. If those Grandmasters knew that he had such an opportunity, they would definitely come knocking on his door and kill him.
Zhou Jie knew how precious the exchange coupon was. He carefully placed it in his storage space. It was better to keep such a precious thing well and use it at a critical moment. Zhou Jie did not expect that his decision would bring him an unexpected surprise.
"Use the lottery card."
The lottery card in front of Zhou Jie disappeared, and the familiar wheel appeared again.
"Stop!"
Zhou Jie gave the order to stop after thinking for a few seconds. As for the result, he could only leave it to fate.
The needle slowed down and finally stopped on a sword.
" Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Qingfeng Sword."
As soon as the system notification ended, a light flashed in front of Zhou Jie's eyes. A sword appeared in front of him. The sword was four feet long and was shining with a green light. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary sword.
Zhou Jie picked up the longsword and caressed the blade lovingly. He could not help but sigh,"What a good sword."
After admiring it for a long time, Zhou Jie finally came back to his senses and looked at the introduction.
[Qingfeng Sword (Mysterious Grade): One of the three swords that Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai buried in the Sword Tomb. It can cut through iron like mud.]
Zhou Jie knew that this sword was different from the others, but he didn't expect it to be Dugu Qiubai's sword. One had to know that Dugu Qiubai was one of the strongest martial artists in Jin Yong's martial arts world.
The book mentioned that this sword was 'fierce and unbreakable. Before he reached the age of 20, he used it to compete with the heroes of Heshuo'. From this, it could be seen that the Qingfeng Sword was a divine weapon that could compete with Liu Ruoxin's dragon scale.
Zhou Jie had been coveting Liu Ruoxin's sword for a long time. Now he finally had a sword of the same level.
Zhou Jie couldn't help but pick up the Qingfeng sword and play with it again."I didn't expect the system to send me another Qingfeng sword after breaking an iron sword. Even the truly powerful Qingfeng Sword was only at Black Grade. He did not know how powerful the Earth Grade and Heaven Grade weapons above it were.”
Zhou Jie asked as soon as he thought about it. The system immediately replied to him. However, Zhou Jie immediately closed the virtual screen after taking a look. He was afraid that he would not be able to take the blow if he continued to watch. Just the Earth-rank alone had the Snow Guzzle Frenzied Sword, a peerless sword. However, the chivalrous points that were in the four digits were enough to make Zhou Jie flinch, let alone the Heaven-rank above it.
Zhou Jie let out a breath. The excitement he felt from obtaining the Qingfeng sword had long faded when he saw the Earth-rank divine weapon. Zhou Jie shook his head and mocked himself. It was just a Mysterious Grade weapon, yet he was already so excited. It seemed like he was not calm enough!
Zhou Jie kept the Qingfeng sword back into his storage space. Out of sight, out of mind. While he was on his way, he used the mental cultivation method of the Divine Radiating Art to heal his injuries.
The carriage sped all the way, and Yang Yuxuan only slowed down when he was about to reach the clinic.
Zhou Jie could feel the speed of the carriage slowing down. He knew that they were about to reach the clinic, so he stopped circulating his energy. He opened his eyes and waited for the carriage to stop. The Divine Radiating Art was indeed a top-notch healing technique. Zhou Jie's internal injuries had already healed by 30 - 40% after circulating his energy all the way. He could already walk.
While waiting, Zhou Jie opened his personal information to check his gains.
Name: Zhou Jie
[Realm: Xiantian Realm Level One]
[Martial Arts: Quanzhen Heart Technique (Master), Divine Radiating Art (Master), Beginner-level Fist Technique (Master), Little Li Flying Dagger (Master), Golden Goose Technique (Master), Gale Sword Technique (Master), Quanzhen Sword Technique (Master)]
[Equipment: Iron Sword (Beginner)]
[Chivalry Points: 410]
[Remarks: Congratulations on breaking away from your rookie status as a first-rate player and becoming a newbie.]
Looking at the changes in his personal information, Zhou Jie nodded in relief and thought to himself,""It was not in vain that I risked my life to fight. My martial arts have finally improved.”
If Zhou Jie was secretly happy when he saw the first part, then the following comments swept away his joy. Zhou Jie felt like a hundred thousand f * cking horses were running through his heart. Do you think there is a difference between a newbie and a newbie?
"Don't be angry, just calm down."
Zhou Jie took three deep breaths and finally calmed down.
At this moment, the carriage finally stopped. Yang Yuxuan lifted the curtain and wanted to help Zhou Jie out of the carriage. After all, in his opinion, Zhou Jie could not walk at this time.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jie smiled and shook his head. He jumped out of the car, leaving Yang Yuxuan dumbfounded. If he had not seen Zhou Jie's injuries with his own eyes, he would have thought that Zhou Jie's serious injuries were faked.
Zhou Jie patted Yang Yuxuan's shoulder and said with a smile,""Don't be so surprised. The internal energy I cultivate is very effective in healing injuries.”
Yang Yuxuan nodded in relief and walked into the clinic with Zhou Jie.
"You're finally back. I thought something had happened!”Zhu Yipin had been waiting for Zhou Jie and the others for a long time. When he saw the two of them walk in, he hurriedly went up to them.
"How is Ruoxin now?" Zhou Jie was only thinking about Liu Ruoxin now, so he wasn't in the mood to argue with Zhu Yipin.
"She hasn't woken up since she came back. Do you think Nie Ziyi was too harsh?"
Zhou Jie was anxious when he heard that Liu Ruoxin hadn't woken up yet. Without waiting for Zhu Yipin to finish, he walked straight to Liu Ruoxin's room.
When Zhou Jie walked into Liu Ruoxin's room, he saw her sweating profusely. She kept saying " me, me " as if she was having a nightmare.
Zhou Jie hurriedly walked over, grabbed Liu Ruoxin's hand and whispered,""Ruoxin, wake up."
Liu Ruoxin seemed to have heard Zhou Jie's voice. She woke up from her dream and sat up abruptly.
Zhou Jie wiped the sweat off Liu Ruoxin's forehead and asked gently,""What did you dream about? Can you tell me?”
"I dreamt that when I was young, someone had invaded my house and killed my entire family. "My dad told me to run. I, I…" Liu Ruoxin recalled the situation in her dream. She was still scared and couldn't even speak clearly.
"Alright, it's all in the past. With me by your side, you don't have to be afraid anymore.”
Zhou Jie looked at Liu Ruoxin's frightened face and hugged her tenderly, wanting to comfort her. Liu Ruoxin felt Zhou Jie's body temperature. She seemed to have found someone to rely on. Her emotions gradually calmed down.
The two of them hugged each other, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
