Chapter 7, From Heaven to Hell

After reporting the long-standing family feud, Namuye found himself at a loss and returned to this secluded place. His mind was filled with the memory of being saved by Lin Yan on that day

She parted her crimson lips and said, "Do you remember the seven-leaf fruit I gave you? Take it when you get home." After saying this, she no longer glanced at the man and turned to leave.

Upon entering the grass house in Namuyie, Lin Yan discovered that this small dwelling comprised three rooms, in addition to a separate room designated for storing miscellaneous items and accommodating Da Huang. Knowing that she had a multitude of questions, Namuyie began to recount the events from the very beginning.

Unbeknownst to herself, she began to take the boy to heart. Relying on a woman's intuition, she felt that this boy, who had taken her away, did not harbor any ill intentions

Ye Quanfan saw Namuyie staring at the ground, his face devoid of color, and he walked straight towards Lin Yan

Namuye obediently allowed her to wipe him while saying: "Sister, I have good news to tell you. His Highness Luowenhal has already left here, and it is said that he has gone to Nanlong City. Sister, you are safe now"

Seeing her walk away, Namuye angrily slapped himself across the face, wincing in pain and cursing himself: "Why did you speak carelessly!"

As for food, Namuye's parents have been avoiding their enemies here for many years, and they have cultivated a considerable amount of crops. In addition, there are fish in the stream, as well as rabbits and wild chickens in the valley, so resources are not particularly scarce

Namuye set down the cup and said, "This news is absolutely true. I asked one person and then found two more to confirm this matter."

Like all knights of the empire, Namuyie is a person who regards the code of chivalry as his life. He is well aware that according to the code, Wolfte is inescapable and must accept the prince's challenge. Therefore, he feels sympathy for Wolfte from beginning to end. However, this is incomprehensible to Lin Yan. She comes from another world and cannot truly understand or accept certain aspects of this world. Thus, deep down, it is difficult for her to forgive Wolfte.

Lin Yan and Namuye have been in this paradise for over a month. Time seems to stand still in the mountains, and Lin Yan is somewhat curious about the changes in the outside world. Moreover, the clothes she is wearing have never fit well, and wearing them for an extended period has become somewhat uncomfortable. Additionally, it is time to replenish some food from the outside. Although there is still food in the valley, it is limited and has become somewhat monotonous.

These days, his heart and eyes are filled with Lin Yan's unparalleled beauty, and that final enchanting smile truly eclipses the sun and moon

It is extremely difficult for a warrior to rise to the rank of a great warrior; without three to four decades of arduous training, it is nearly impossible. Therefore, there are only a little over one hundred great warriors in the empire today. Among these more than one hundred great warriors, whether any of them can become a golden warrior requires not only diligent practice but also a stroke of luck. Thus, there is currently only one golden warrior in the empire

He seemed very familiar with this forest, turning around a few times, and the sounds of the pursuers gradually faded away. However, it appeared that there were many groups of pursuers, and just when Lin Yan thought she had evaded them, she heard the sounds of the pursuers again

Benefactor? Lin Yan questioned

Ye Quanfan swiftly drew his long sword from behind him, pointing the tip towards Namuyé, and with lightning speed, he thrust it towards the opening beneath his left armpit. At that moment, he heard Lin Yan let out a startled "Ah!" and was taken aback, thinking: No matter what, I cannot kill in front of this beauty

After a moment, Luo Wenhao finally reacted and shouted, "Why aren't you chasing after them yet!" Then he charged forward with his knights.

Namuye took out five ordinary robes from the shopping bag, saying: "Sister Lin Yan, I bought these according to your instructions, do you think they are suitable?" Then, happily, she added, "Sister, you don't have to be afraid anymore. If you want, we can make it and go shopping together outside."

Lin Yan changed into the clothes she brought from her hometown, wearing a bracelet, and gazed at her exposed small feet, not particularly concerned. At this point, there was nothing much left to be concerned about

Lin Yan did not blame him for speaking recklessly; she simply did not want to hear anything related to Wolf at this moment. She felt both resentment and hatred towards him. Regardless of what the chivalric code of this continent might be, in the eyes of the martial artists of the Central Plains, a man who cannot protect his own woman is nothing but a coward! Moreover, Wolf had willingly given her up! She was not an object; why should he have surrendered her so easily?

As soon as he uttered these words, Wolf let out a howl of despair from the ground, a sound that seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul, filled with resentment and pain. The onlookers felt a chill sweep over them, causing them to shudder involuntarily. The young man also took a step back, thinking to himself: it seems the joke has gone too far. This fool Wolf actually cares so much for this woman. Well, I suppose I should return it to him later. Really, this kid just doesn't learn, so stubborn.

Today was no different; he mingled among the students and, upon seeing Lin Yan emerge, followed closely behind her

Ye Quanfan embraced Lin Yan tightly, disregarding her struggles, and similarly channeled his energy into her meridians, rendering her unable to move. He glanced at Namuye, noting that his wound was shallow; before long, the blood ceased to flow from the injury, and there was no longer any threat to his life. Ye Quanfan took a step towards him but, lost in thought, turned away again, no longer paying him any mind, and began to climb towards the mountain peak while holding Lin Yan.

However, as time passed, the sweat on Namuye's back and face flowed continuously like a stream

Gradually, a series of swallowing sounds emerged from the crowd, rising and falling in succession, with some individuals unaware that their saliva had dripped onto their clothes. Truly, it was a sight of utter disgrace, difficult to behold

On this day, Lin Yan saw Namuye practicing swordsmanship and couldn't help but offer a few pointers. Namuye immediately committed them to memory and practiced them. Seeing his talent, Lin Yan thought to herself that it would be beneficial to teach him what she knew, as it could also serve to protect herself

After the man from the Han dynasty dealt with the two individuals, he also leaned forward to glance at the cave entrance and then lowered his head in contemplation

Ye Quanfan, disregarding his injuries, desperately lunged forward. Even though his martial skills were far superior, he still found it quite troublesome. Ye Quanfan turned around, his wrist trembling, and executed three consecutive sword flourishes, aiming at Namuye. The areas he targeted were not vital, and each strike was controlled, yet Namuye was left drenched in blood, having become a figure covered in crimson.

Although Namuye had never seen a wooden house, he revered Lin Yan as if she were a deity and followed her instructions closely. Over the course of this month, their living quarters had undergone a remarkable transformation.

As Namuye entered the valley, he shouted, "Sister Lin Yan, Sister Lin Yan." The title "Sister" was insisted upon by Lin Yan for him to call her.

The last time Namuye successfully snatched Lin Yan in public was primarily because everyone was captivated by Lin Yan's tragic smile, which led to a moment of carelessness. However, as he passed through so many people, although he slightly concealed his appearance, he was still recognized by a subordinate of Luo Wenhao, who was skilled at remembering faces. Over the past month, Namuye's appearance has become well-known throughout the city

Jian Lin Yan showed no intention of starting; she merely looked at the several knights surrounding Wolfte. She waved her hand again and said, "You may step back for the time being"

As soon as Lin Yan heard the name Wolfte, she immediately turned and ran. She felt her heart racing, as if it were about to leap out of her throat. "I hope Wolfte isn't injured!" However, upon a moment's reflection, she remembered that she had a healing potion in her possession. As long as he still had a breath left, she could save him. Only then did she feel a sense of calm.

Lin Yan struggled in vain, once again subdued by this man. Her heart was filled with urgency and fear, and in her despair, she fainted.

The young man appeared to be quite familiar with the surroundings. Although there was little light inside, he was able to navigate through it with ease

Hate! I hate it!

This place, in today's world, is known only to the two of them. Moreover, this is not an easy place to access; if someone were to come here, it would certainly be to capture them.

The South Long City, which Luo Wenhao is heading to, and the Capital of Xisangmu, which Mosang is going to, are among the more renowned places. Their mission is to establish contact with the underground leaders here and reach some form of agreement. The first to succeed will be rewarded by the Emperor with a piece of Ebony Order. This Ebony Order not only signifies the supreme representation of imperial authority but also embodies the Emperor's trust and recognition of one's abilities. Therefore, Luo Wenhao is determined to succeed in this endeavor! This Ebony Order not only signifies the supreme representation of imperial authority but also embodies the Emperor's trust and recognition of one's abilities. Therefore, Luo Wenhao is determined to succeed in this endeavor!

Before long, two dark figures arrived at the entrance of the cave, glancing inside and whispering to each other. Just as one was about to return to report, while the other continued to follow, a large man suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of them. The two were caught off guard, unable to even utter a sound before their heads were bowed, meeting their demise.

His Royal Highness Luo Wenhao suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, I forgot to see what today's prize looks like." After saying this, he raised his hand, and Lin Yan's veil gently fell to the ground

At that moment, Da Huang suddenly barked wildly. Namuye listened for a while, and his expression changed, "Someone has entered!"

Today is the day Lin Yan has been looking forward to the most, as Wei Lin will return one hundred thousand gold coins to her

Namuye has already attracted their attention while purchasing grain and women's clothing. He also inquired about the whereabouts of His Highness Rowenhal and the recent situation of Duke Wofute, which further exposed him! The two individuals then followed him from a distance.

Lin Yan bowed respectfully to Luo Wenhao and gently said: "Your Highness, may I have a few words with Duke Wolfte."

Lin Yan's face turned pale as a ghost, and that terrifying scene reappeared in her mind. Uncontrollably, she took two steps back. After appearing, Ye Quanfan stared at Lin Yan without blinking. He paid no attention to Namuye at all. He was one of the two top masters of the age, and there were very few people in the world whom he regarded highly.

Ye Quanfan could not help but secretly admire his stubbornness and bravery. However, his determination to win over Lin Yan left no room for him. Thus, he shouted: "Step aside, kid!"

As soon as they arrived in front of the thatched cottage together, the young man suddenly bowed to her, saying: "Namuye has met the benefactor. I have been quite disrespectful to the benefactor along the way, please do not take offense!"

This scream awakened Namuyie, and he scolded himself, saying: "What is wrong with me? My sister is in grave danger, yet I am here lost in thought." He picked up his long sword and charged towards Ye Quanfan again.

With a smile, Lin Yan accepted the gold card thrown over by Wei Lin, ignoring the other party's ashen face, feeling so pleased that she wanted to sing a song

Such a woman, no matter what, I cannot let her slip away from my grasp, Luo Wenhao thought to himself. He had already lingered here for so long, and the situation in Nanlong City could no longer be delayed. Those sent out were truly foolish; they had searched for a month without finding Lin Yan. I refuse to believe that she can remain hidden. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find her.

It is only here at Namuye that I realize he came through from the mountain top

After turning around two bends, the young man stopped in front of an inconspicuous cave, looking somewhat troubled as he gazed at Lin Yan

The young man looked for a while and said: "Is this beauty Miss Lin Yan, the beloved of Duke Wolfte? Miss Lin Yan, Duke Wolfte has already given you to me. From now on, you are mine."

Gritting his teeth, the captain spoke: "Your Highness, this empire is entirely under your control. As long as this woman remains within the empire, she will eventually appear. However, if you continue to delay regarding Nanlong City... I fear that His Royal Highness Mosang will succeed before you. In that case, not only will you lose the throne, but you will also be unable to keep the beauty by your side"

Namuyeshang took two steps forward, standing in front of Lin Yan, facing Ye Quanfan.

Ye Quanfan shouted, "Beast, how dare you!" He swung his sword horizontally, striking directly at the chest and abdomen of the large yellow creature, piercing it completely and throwing it far away.

Lin Yan observed that Namuye had completely absorbed the essence of the Seven-Leaf Fruit, and thus began to impart to him some fundamental principles of the Ruoxu View martial arts. She guided him from the basics to more advanced concepts, tailoring her instruction to his martial skills, which greatly benefited Namuye

In a moment of unexpectedness, Ye Quanfan was caught off guard and was accidentally stabbed by his own sword in a flurry of activity. To his astonishment, the sword was imbued with red fighting spirit! Could it be that this young man has already become a great warrior? With such remarkable skills at such a young age, if given time, I fear I may not be his match!

Lin Yan saw the nightmare-like man approaching her, let out a sharp scream, and took a few steps back

Lin Yan found the cave to be quite narrow. Looking inside, it appeared deep and dark, which made one hesitate to enter. Moreover, the cave seemed to allow only one person to pass through at a time

Lin Yan slowly walked to Wolfte's side, knelt on the ground, lifted the veil, and gently pulled apart the hands that covered his face

Upon reaching the martial arts arena, Lin Yan immediately saw Wolfte kneeling on the ground, his head lowered, hands cradling his face, as if he were crying. Lin Yan was greatly shocked and hurriedly squeezed through the surrounding crowd to run towards him

That would be wonderful. Lin Yan ran into the room to bring out the dishes, serving herself and Namuye. "Come, let's eat."

Namuyue let out a long cry: "No—" and suddenly lunged at Ye Quanfan. In his anger, his sword technique was completely chaotic. Ye Quanfan lightly deflected it, sending his sword flying away, and deftly seized his wrist. In an instant, he channeled his internal energy into Namuyue's meridians, rendering his hands powerless to perform any techniques. Namuyue collapsed to the ground, wanting to pick up his sword, but his hands were utterly incapable of doing so.

What is wrong with you?" A look of sorrow appeared on Lovis's face, startling Lin Yan into immediate awareness

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan immediately recalled. No wonder she found this young man familiar; he was the injured and poisoned young man in black whom she encountered on the day she rescued Grandpa Lovis

Ye Quanfan saw that Namuyue did not retreat but instead advanced, and he could not help but admire his courage. He noticed that the speed of Namuyue's sword was very fast, so he thrust his sword forward to meet it. However, unexpectedly, as Namuyue's sword reached mid-air, it suddenly sank, with a red aura trailing behind it, swiftly stabbing towards his lower abdomen.

Thinking that she would no longer have to be anxious in the future, she hummed a song while eating.

Seeing him poisoned, his enemies believed he was doomed to die and thus let down their guard. At that moment, he understood that it was impossible to take revenge openly and fairly by relying solely on his own strength. Therefore, during the time of his enemy's daughter's wedding, he added poison to the drinking water, ultimately capturing all his enemies in one fell swoop

Thus, Lin Yan settled in this valley. The valley is not large, with a circumference of approximately 10 kilometers. It is surrounded by high mountains on three sides, while one side leads to a gloomy forest. This gloomy forest is renowned in the Duchy of Norton, and it is named as such for several reasons: first, there is a type of toxic gas that lingers year-round within the forest, deterring both humans and animals from entering easily. Second, many of the animals that inhabit the forest are venomous and pose a threat to humans. Third, it is very easy for people to get lost within it.

Two days later, after Lin Yan and Namuye finished their sparring, they sat by the stream, listening to the gentle flow of water and watching the fish swimming in the clear, transparent water, chatting and laughing joyfully

Lin Yan did not wish to struggle; for her, it no longer made a difference whose hands she fell into. However, this person in the green attire looked somewhat familiar. He appeared to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, remarkably handsome, with golden hair and purple eyes, and a youthful face adorned with a fine layer of fuzz.

This is a valley. In the valley, the sound of birds chirping and the gentle flow of water create a scene that is not much different from what Lin Yan encountered in Long Valley. The young man walked with Lin Yan for about one mile, and unexpectedly, a thatched cottage appeared! A dog ran out from the cottage, wagging its tail and pouncing towards the young man. The young man embraced the yellow dog and exclaimed, "Da Huang, have you come to pick me up?"

Suddenly, a coarse and loud voice came through, "Indeed, good hearing; I did not expect that my whereabouts would be exposed by a mere beast." This voice sounded very familiar to Lin Yan.

He quickly retreated his body, narrowly avoiding Namuyer's strike. He noticed that Namuyer changed his moves with great speed, and his swordplay was both cunning and peculiar, with profound fighting spirit. Out of jealousy, a murderous intent had already arisen in his heart

Namuye's experience in the Jianghu is shallow, yet the person tracking him is quite skilled. Throughout this journey, he remains completely unaware, still humming cheerfully as he travels. Upon reaching the entrance of the valley, he crouches down, places his bag in front of him, and slowly sneaks inside.

About half an hour later, a faint light began to appear ahead. Lin Yan thought to herself: Could it be that there is another world ahead?

She was the first to walk towards the cave. The cave was dark and small, with many areas requiring her to shift her body slowly to navigate. Eventually, it became necessary to crawl in order to proceed

He scrutinized Lin Yan from head to toe, his gaze as if she were an object. This made her involuntarily shiver

Not only can she not protect herself, but she also willingly contributes herself. These two points are an unforgivable mistake for Lin Yan

Hearing Namuye say this, Lin Yan became happy and asked, "Really? That's great." After saying this, she joyfully put down the clothes in her hands, pulled Namuye to sit on a chair, and poured him a glass of water to drink, saying, "Don't rush, take your time to explain what happened."

Upon hearing the name "Wolfte," Lin Yan paused for a moment and suddenly felt that she had no appetite at all. She set down her bowl and walked away

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yan felt a tightness in her chest, and the scene before her began to blur. "Relax, relax, they might not be a bad person," she reassured herself, but she also knew that this was merely a consolation.

By the time the next class arrived, Lin Yan, overly excited, felt quite fatigued. Having not slept a wink last night, her eyelids felt too heavy to open. In her dazed state, she seemed to hear a commotion mentioning something about a "prince." She paid no attention to it; at that moment, the entire world consisted solely of her increasingly heavy eyelids, and she fell asleep leaning against the desk.

Upon hearing the name Namuy, she seemed to see again the scene of the two of them joyfully barbecuing and eating together, as well as Wolf's infatuated gaze under the moonlight. She shook her head vigorously, trying to push all of this far away! At that moment, she noticed Namuy peeking at her pitifully, trying to ascertain whether she was still angry.

Seeing Lin Yan still did not elicit a response from him, he smiled wickedly and said, "Beautiful lady, you must remember, you are mine now. Come, give me a smile."

At this moment, everyone finally returned to normal

When His Highness Luo Wenhao lifted Lin Yan's veil, he felt as if his chest had been struck by a thousand-ton boulder, causing him to sway. He thought to himself: How could there be such a beauty in the world! Looking at Lin Yan's vacant eyes and the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, he felt that he would willingly give his life for her.

Namuyue does not have a great ambition for dominance. He only wishes to remain by Lin Yan's side forever, just as he is now

Lin Yan listened to him speak eloquently, feeling deeply moved. On that day, due to a single thought, she unexpectedly sowed the seeds for today's outcome

Most of what she taught Namuyue consisted of practical skills. However, these theories were still too profound and difficult for Namuyue to comprehend. As a result, Lin Yan would often say something, and he would have to sit there pondering for half a day; sometimes it would take him one or two days to fully understand.

Thinking of this, he said to Lin Yan, who had become dumbfounded since hearing his words: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Prince Rowenhal, the heir to the empire"

Namuyé and Lin Yan's life experience is ultimately shallow, underestimating His Highness Luo Wenhao's determination to have Lin Yan at all costs

The captain of the knights knelt on the ground, not daring to speak, and thought to himself: It has been a month of searching, and the entire city and its outskirts have been searched three times. Moreover, there are dedicated personnel monitoring Duke Wolfte day and night. Continuing to search like this, I might as well commit suicide, as it would be simpler. Speaking of suicide, His Highness has already killed three of the leading searchers for Lin Yan. Yet even now, there is still not a single clue!

Lovis said: "Martial Arts Arena - Duke Wolfte"

She sat in the classroom, full of joy and with a beaming smile, calculating in her mind how to spend this enormous wealth. At this moment, her eyes and heart were filled with the dazzling light of gold coins, and she could hardly hear the teacher's words.

What are you still looking for? With so many of you, can't you find a weak woman? Go! Search for her in every household!

As soon as the words were spoken, a tall man slowly approached. This man had an ancient appearance, yet he was the one who had intruded into Lin Yan's bedroom that night! The Demon Warrior Ye Quanfan!

The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and the nearby Luo Wenhao felt a bit uncomfortable, gently clearing his throat. Lin Yan was startled, realizing in her heart that harboring hatred was of no use; the situation had reached this point, and she could only resign herself to fate.

At this moment, the sword was merely an inch away from Namuyie. He forcefully suppressed his strength and thrust the tip of the sword outward into the empty space. This sudden change in tactics, driven by urgency, was too hasty, causing him to involuntarily catch his breath and take a step forward before coming to a halt

This period has been the happiest time of his life. Firstly, the goddess he has been longing for day and night is right beside him; just the thought of being able to look at her and talk to her every day fills him with contentment. Secondly, over the past month, his martial arts skills have made remarkable progress. Lin Yan has introduced him to a magical world of martial arts, making him feel that even if he devoted his entire life to it, he would still be unable to fully grasp its intricacies. However, with the little he has mastered now, if he can comprehend it well and given some time, it would already be sufficient for him to dominate this world.

Namuyue felt an overwhelming authority pressing down on him from all directions. Gritting his teeth, he stood firm, enduring the pressure of an unparalleled master that he had never dared to imagine. The phrase "Protect Sister Lin Yan" kept echoing in his mind, and thinking of this, he immediately felt a surge of strength fill his entire body

However, Luowei seemed so distressed that she could not speak clearly, pointing towards the martial arts arena on campus, and after a long while, she still did not utter a word. At this point, Lin Yan became somewhat impatient and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

At that moment, several individuals emitted beastly howls from their throats and lunged towards Lin Yan. Luo Wenhao was startled, picked up the veil from the ground, moved a few steps away while holding Lin Yan, and carefully placed the veil back on her before finally letting out a sigh of relief

He did not shed tears, perhaps it was simply impossible for him to do so. However, his lifeless eyes became bright the moment they saw Lin Yan, only to immediately dim again.

If she is not by my side, even if I were an emperor, possessing an entire empire would be utterly boring! Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and shouted: "Call the captain of the knights in."

Namuye did not stop for a moment and lunged towards Ye Quanfan, thinking: even if I die, I will never allow anyone to touch my sister

He was unaware that reaching the realm of Ye Quanfan represented an entirely different level. It is not just him; even a seasoned martial artist of the highest caliber, with many years of training, would find themselves unable to withstand more than a few moves against Ye Quanfan.

Lin Yan knew that the young man wanted her to enter the cave, yet she was afraid that the cave was dirty and would make her feel disgusted. She couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself; at this point, what was there left for her to dislike?

Thus, Lin Yan took out a Seven-Leaf Fruit and gave it to Namuye, instructing him to cultivate his energy for two weeks before coming to the stream to catch the swimming fish. Lin Yan had gathered a total of seven Seven-Leaf Fruits, consuming three herself, giving one to Wolfte, and one to Namuye. Unbeknownst to her, these two Seven-Leaf Fruits would create two golden warriors for this continent. Among them, Namuye would become a master of martial arts. This is a story for another time. Unbeknownst to her, these two Seven-Leaf Fruits would create two golden warriors for this continent. Among them, Namuye would become a master of martial arts. This is a story for another time.

Ye Quanfan thought: It seems that today it is inevitable to resort to force. He relaxed his hand and struck down a palm a foot in front of Namuye.

Lin Yan remained indifferent, staring blankly at Wolfte.

At this moment, Lin Yan had already been carried into the cave by the young man. Hearing Luo Wenhao say this, she felt a tightness in her heart and thought: Indeed, they are all students of this academy and should be extremely familiar with this forest. Yet, she did not know whether this young man could help her evade him here.

Namuye was also aware that he had just narrowly escaped death. After entering the Great Warrior level through his own efforts, and with Lin Yan's guidance, he believed that his martial skills had improved more than tenfold compared to before. In the entire empire, while he might not be among the top experts, he at least felt he had the ability to protect himself. However, to his dismay, in today's trial, he could not withstand even two moves under his opponent's sword! He was instantly filled with despair and profound disappointment. Little did he know that in today's trial, he could not withstand even two moves under his opponent's sword! He was instantly filled with despair and profound disappointment.

A robust middle-aged man walked in. Luo Wenhao fixed his gaze on him, causing the man to break into a sweat on his forehead and feel weak all over before he finally stopped.

Namuye swayed slightly, yet remained steadfast and unyielding

Particularly, the martial arts of this continent have always placed emphasis solely on fighting spirit and speed, with even less regard for speed itself. Lin Yan specifically addressed this tradition and provided him with guidance

The young man said: "Have you forgotten your benefactor? Half a month ago, you saved someone on the mountain behind Luo."

At that moment, a young man in a green robe rushed into the crowd, embraced Lin Yan, and turned to run deep into the woods of the academy. This sudden action caught many who were immersed in beauty off guard, allowing him to escape.

Looking at the dazed expressions of the crowd, she smiled sweetly; this smile conveyed an indescribable bitterness and unwillingness

It is said that Lin Yan was rescued by Namuye into the valley, while Luo Wenhao was searching the world over. Ever since he saw Lin Yan's true appearance, he felt that all the women he had encountered over the years were merely superficial and unremarkable. Now, reflecting on it, he finds it hard to believe—what has happened to him all these years?! How could he have taken pleasure in the company of such unworthy women?!

Ye Quanfan noticed two individuals with suspicious movements following Namuyena on the street. With his profound internal energy, he heard the name "Lin Yan" from a distance, which piqued his interest, prompting him to follow the two individuals. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind. After dealing with those two, he surveyed the cave. Naturally proud, he was reluctant to enter the cave. Thus, he wandered around for two days before finally climbing over the mountain, reaching the valley.

This mountain peak soars into the clouds, and only a master of his caliber would dare to choose this path for entry and exit, allowing him to maneuver freely in and out.

Upon seeing his silly, childlike expression, Lin Yan couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Although Namuye did not understand why she was laughing, seeing his sister smile inexplicably brightened his mood, and he also broke into a grin. Lin Yan, seeing his foolish look, couldn't help but burst into laughter again. Thus, the joyful laughter of the two siblings echoed continuously in the valley, spreading far and wide.

Not knowing how long she had slept, Lin Yan felt someone pushing her vigorously. When she opened her eyes, it was Luo Weisi.

Although this valley is home to only two people and is far less bustling and lively than the outside world, it is the place where Lin Yan has truly felt safe and at peace since arriving in this world. Moreover, she can play the piano and flute every day without worrying about being overheard and causing trouble.

A mirror placed on the table was violently thrown in front of him by Rowan Hall, causing the captain of the knights to tremble all over, kneel down, and exclaim: "Your Highness!"

Under the intense longing, he began to slowly search for Lin Yan. Five days ago, he finally found her. In order to see her, he usually lurked in the woods of the academy. As for the cave in the academy, due to the fact that Namuye's parents had lived nearby for many years, out of curiosity, they had already explored all the large and small caves in the vicinity.

This valley was discovered by his parents many years ago. His grandfather was once a wealthy man in the area, but a friend he befriended turned out to be greedy for wealth. Taking advantage of his grandfather's unawareness, this friend killed all the members of the family, leaving only his father, who was then just eighteen, to escape by chance. His father, who had a passion for martial arts, spent many years outside, hoping to learn superior skills, which ultimately allowed him to survive.

However, the valley where they reside is indeed tranquil and beautiful, and occasionally a few monkeys come here to call out, which adds quite a bit of enjoyment.

Lin Yan saw the two engage in combat and wanted to help Namuye, but she did not know how to assist. Ye Quanfan's martial arts were ancient and profound, having reached an extremely high level. Since arriving in this world, it was the first time she realized that there were such formidable experts, comparable to her own internal strength when it had not yet diminished

Ye Quanfan, seeing him so oblivious to the situation, felt a surge of anger in his heart and thrust his sword directly at his shoulder, instantly causing blood to flow profusely

Upon hearing of such a great calamity at home, the father was determined to seek revenge, but ultimately met his demise at the hands of his enemies. He was injured that day as well, not because he succeeded in assassinating his foe, but rather due to poisoning. While fleeing, the poison took effect, and had it not been for encountering Lin Yan, he would likely have already reached the underworld.

Lin Yan quietly gazed at the man who had stirred her true feelings, the man she once thought she could rely on for a lifetime. She felt a deep resentment in her heart! Yes, she hated that he treated her like a commodity to be given to others, and she also hated his powerlessness

He shouted while running, and before long, he arrived in front of the small house. Lin Yan was there hanging up clothes, and upon seeing him, she cast a reproachful glance and said: "Why are you making such a fuss? Look at you, you're drenched in sweat from running." After saying this, she gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief

Namuye thus obeyed the command and left the valley

Seeing that his master was in a perilous situation, Da Huang leaped forward and bit at Ye Quanfan

Luo Wenhao is on a mission to conquer Nanlong City, which is also a test set by the current emperor for his son and brother. Beyond the five major duchies of the empire, there are other regions established by nomads. The cities built by these nomads are filled with a mix of people, including a wide variety of characters, particularly the notorious bandits who are wanted by the empire, most of whom gather in such places

At that moment, Wolfte asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you not hate me?" While watching the figure of the beautiful woman gradually recede, his heart ached to the point of almost dying! Just when he thought Lin Yan would not respond, he heard her clear voice.

At that moment, Lin Yan heard the voice of His Highness Luo Wenhao, "Search slowly, I have lived here for three years, and I do not believe he can escape to the ends of the earth."

After traversing for a short while, the young man emerged from the cave with Lin Yan and arrived in a forested area. He was slightly out of breath at this moment, and Lin Yan softly said, "Let me down to walk." The young man then set her down but did not glance at her, continuing to walk straight ahead without looking sideways.

After hearing these words from his subordinate, Luo Wenhao finally decided to head to Nanlong City the next day. However, he still left behind a group of people to continue monitoring Wolfte and searching for Lin Yan

Gradually, the cave became more spacious, and eventually it was wide enough for several people to walk side by side.

Namuye consumed a fruit, which allowed him to surpass the decades of arduous training of others, transforming him into a great warrior, filled with extraordinary pride. Although he did not understand the reason, he held Lin Yan in such high regard that he did not dare to inquire further

At this moment, Ye Quanfan began to take Namuyue seriously. Among the warriors of the world, few dared to confront him directly without feeling fear. He narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Namuyue from head to toe, thinking to himself: Where did this little brat come from? He actually possesses a bit of real skill.

The young man held Lin Yan, remaining calm as if it had all been planned, and brought her to an opening. This opening was overgrown with tall grass and vines, and one would hardly notice it unless they pulled aside the foliage to take a closer look

Namuye held great respect for Lin Yan, never allowing his gaze to wander. This brought Lin Yan a sense of comfort; with no one else in the valley, she removed her veil and began to live a simple life.

As Lin Yan relaxed her mind, she immediately felt that her whole body was dirty and messy, which was quite uncomfortable. Namuye brought her to a small lake, and when she dipped her hand in, she discovered it was actually a hot spring. Overjoyed, as soon as Namuye left, she couldn't wait to jump into the water, experiencing the soothing sensation that enveloped her.

After eating for a while, Namuye suddenly remembered something and said: "Sister, I heard that Duke Wofute coughed up blood quite severely after returning home last time, and he is still recuperating at home. People say he looks terribly haggard, and those who have seen him feel very sympathetic towards him"

Upon arriving at the cave entrance, Lin Yan peeked in and was astonished to find a whole new world inside

She did not understand why she had to say this to Wolfte. Even if he increased his resentment by thirty years, what would be the use? It was already too late.

On the back of Namuye, carrying the purchased items, he hummed a tune while cheerfully traversing the mountain path. This time, he was walking through the hill where Lin Yan and Wolfte often came for barbecues. He walked so lightly that he did not notice the two shadowy figures faintly following behind him

As Namuye watched the palm strike slowly coming down, he found himself unable to muster even the slightest resistance. Gritting his teeth, he bit his tongue just enough to draw blood, and with the pain, his fighting spirit was rekindled slightly. He immediately shifted his body to the side, thinking that only by taking the initiative could he have any hope. Thus, he swiftly drew the long sword that was sheathed behind him and lunged towards Ye Quanfan with a thrust.

Lin Yan has a natural affinity for beautiful things. Upon settling down, she first tidied up several thatched cottages. Although there were no external items to add, the two of them managed to cut down quite a few trees and built wooden houses.

Lin Yan grew up in the martial arts world and has always had an indescribable fondness for such caves, feeling that they conceal many secrets. Moreover, having arrived here, she steeled herself and began to crawl forward step by step

In the past two days, Namuye has felt a surge of fighting spirit filling his entire being after consuming the fruit given by Lin Yan, far surpassing his previous state. Moreover, the light emitted by this fighting spirit has changed from white to red, which signifies the advancement from a warrior to a great warrior. The warriors of the empire are divided into three tiers: warrior, great warrior, and golden warrior. The fighting spirit of a warrior is silver, that of a great warrior is red, and naturally, that of a golden warrior is golden.

It seems as if the world has fallen silent, with no sound of the wind and no sight of the falling leaves. In the hearts and eyes of the crowd, there remains only an unparalleled beauty.

At this moment, Luo Wenhao had completely abandoned the idea of returning Lin Yan to Wolfte. After hearing Lin Yan's words, he pondered for a moment and replied, "Alright"

His face was already covered in bloodstains; some of the blood was caused by biting his lip, but more of it was from the blood he had just coughed up after hearing Luowenhao's words

Lin Yan laughed and scolded, "You have quite the imagination. I think it is better to be cautious; we can talk about shopping later. The scenery here is beautiful and the environment is comfortable."

At that moment, someone grabbed her arm with great strength, forcefully preventing her from rushing towards Wolfte. Lin Yan turned her head to look and saw a young man dressed in luxurious attire, handsome in appearance, with a small mustache, smiling warmly at her.

One could only see her skin like jade and her demeanor like ice, a beauty that cannot be described in words. It is a beauty that surpasses everyone's imagination, a stunning and extraordinary beauty that reaches its pinnacle. The sound of "thud" was incessant, as books fell to the ground without anyone noticing, and weapons struck their bearers without them being aware. A knight was even struck by the sword he held in his hand, blood streaming from his calf, yet he remained completely oblivious.
