After the person who inquired about the news left, Xuan Jian sat alone and fell into deep thought.
As an iron-blooded man, he frowned as if he was troubled by something.
"Creak ~" The tightly shut door suddenly opened.
The killer's instinct made the muscles on Xuan Jian's body tense up instantly, but after seeing the person who came, he relaxed again.
It was his wife, who was eight months pregnant, Cassie.
"Husband, you must be tired. I asked the kitchen to boil some chicken soup for you. Drink it while it's hot.”Cassie placed the chicken soup on the table beside the bed and leaned against Xuan Jian.
His cold expression melted like snow in the spring breeze. He reached out his arm to stop his wife and enjoyed this hard-earned peace with Cassie.
After a long time, Xuan Jian seemed to have made a decision and said to Cassie,
"The Network has sent a letter. As long as I complete this mission, they will allow me to leave the Network. At that time, we can find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in seclusion. I don't care about the affairs of this world."
Seeing that Xuan Jian was finally going to be freed from this endless slaughter, Wei Qianqian was also very happy. She even began to imagine the future because of Xuan Jian's words of seclusion.
"Then we can live the life of a man farming and a woman weaving. After the child is born, our family of three will no longer care about the affairs of the seven countries. If it's a girl, I'll teach him zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If it's a boy, you'll teach him martial arts.。。。”
Hearing Wei Qianqian's expectations for the future, Xuan Jian's smile became even gentler.
He, who had been in purgatory, finally returned to the human world.
For the happy life of their family of three, Xuan Jian had to complete the mission given by the network.
At the same time, Zhao Yu, who had parted ways with Wu Ming, was in a dilemma.
From the news he got from Wu Ming, Xuan Jian hadn't been betrayed by Wei Yong.
Now, all the people in Wei who could arm wrestle with Wei Yong had died, and only Lord Xinling was left.
In Zhao Yu's memories, Xuan Jian had killed almost all the officials in Wei Country who could arm wrestle with Wei Yong, except for Lord Xinling.
Logically speaking, Lord Xinling should be the person the Network wanted to kill the most.
However, Lord Xinling was the only one who was left out of this assassination attempt. It was really wrong.
According to Zhao Yu's guess, Lord Xinling was one of the targets of this assassination. However, Wei Yong had sold Xuan Jian out because he felt that Xuan Jian was of no use to him.
Later on, Xuan Jian was unable to carry out the mission due to his injuries, so the Network sent the Startling Salamander to assassinate Lord Xinling.
Now that there was no news from Wei Yong and Xuan Jian, Zhao Yu did not know how to contact Xuan Jian.
Even if he barged into Wei Yong's residence at night now, he probably would not be able to persuade Xuan Jian who had fallen into a gentle land.
Zhao Yu, who had no idea what to do, decided to wait and see for now. After all, he had gotten in touch with Lord Xinling through Wu Ming, so he could not hide anything from Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu could use this time to consolidate his martial arts to prepare for the upcoming battle.
A few days passed, but Zhao Yu did not take any action, Lord Xinling did not take any action, and Xuan Jian did not take any action either.
Lord Xinling did not take action because he did not know that he was on the assassination list of the Network.
Zhao Yu did not act because he was waiting for Wei Yong to act. He firmly believed that Xuan Jian's target was still Lord Xinling.
Xuan Jian didn't take action because he wasn't sure what Zhao Yu's goal was.
Because of this misunderstanding, the three parties had actually formed an extremely ingenious balance.
However, this balance did not last long before it was broken. The person who broke this balance was Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu observed for a few days and realized that Daliang's military deployment was the same as usual. He was a little dejected. In addition, he had been bored staying in the inn for the past few days, so he decided to go out for a walk.
Of course, the main reason was that Zhao Yu felt that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck.
Every time he cultivated, Zhao Yu felt as if he had walked into a dead end, unable to take another step forward.、
Zhao Yu understood that this was the bottleneck for peak experts to reach Grandmaster. Zhao Yu's internal energy was comparable to that of a Grandmaster expert.
However, the difference in cultivation realm was too great.
If he encountered such a problem, he would have to ask a professional. Hence, Zhao Yu decided to go to Wu Ming and ask him about it.
He didn't expect to get any secret manuals from Nameless. He just needed Nameless to show him the way.
As soon as Zhao Yu moved, Lord Xinling's men and the people from the Network followed him.
The members of both sides did not show themselves, but followed Zhao Yu in the dark.
Wuming's residence was not in Daliang City, but in a forest one mile outside the city.
After Zhao Yu left the city, he walked towards a nameless place.
Once Zhao Yu left the city, the Network and Lord Xinling's men stopped following him.
The net knew that there would be no useful information even if they continued to follow. Wu Ming was someone that even Xuan Jian was deeply afraid of. Small shrimps like them would be discovered as long as they got a little closer.
Lord Xinling's men went back to inform Lord Xinling himself.
"Moss marks are of the highest grade, and the grass is green. Wu Ming is truly worthy of being a member of the scholarly faction. This place is too artistic.”
The residence of the martial arts world was almost in line with the characteristics of the residence of all the unworldly masters. There was a bamboo forest outside, a lake beside it, and a child in the courtyard.
Zhao Yu approached the thatched cottage and said to Yan Lu, who was reading,"
"Xiao Yan Lu, is your master around?”
Yan Lu stopped what he was doing and opened the door. He then bowed to Zhao Yu,"
"Master is taking an afternoon nap. Is there anything you need from Master?”
Zhao Yu did not expect this ancient person to have the habit of taking a nap.
"It's my own business. Since he's taking an afternoon nap, I'll wait here for a while. You can do your own thing and don't worry about me.”
Yan Lu was not a person who pretended to be polite. Since Zhao Yu had said that he did not need to care about him, Yan Lu poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yu and continued reading.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yu was sipping his tea with interest while watching Yan Lu read.
It had to be said that Yan Lu was only a child now, but his body emitted a kind of indifference that saw through the world.
Unlike Xiaomeng, who was detached, Yan Lu had a hint of smoke and fire on him, making people feel close to him.
"Little Yan Lu, what book are you reading?”
"I'm reading Zhuangzi."
"Zhuangzi? I'm familiar with this. Do you want me to help you interpret it?”

Today, I went to my father-in-law's house. I drank from noon to afternoon. My tongue was numb from drinking. I just woke up and wrote a chapter. I really couldn't take it anymore. I'll write another chapter later. Today, I'll write two chapters first.
