Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 168 Token
It's a pity that Ye Hu never knew until his death who was the one who, in the end, betrayed all martial ethics and killed him.

He didn't recognize Sheng Changquan behind the mask, and naturally didn't know that Sheng Changquan was the guy he had been longing to take revenge on after the mission was over.

……

"Whoo~"

"It's finally resolved!"

After glancing at the enemy lying in a pool of blood, Sheng Changquan immediately dropped the long sword in his hand.

The long sword was badly damaged from Sheng Changquan's violent slashing. You should know that Sheng Changquan had never actually practiced any swordsmanship. His victory this time was entirely due to his swift speed, terrifying strength, and extremely quick reflexes. The combination of these three factors was what made his chaotic punches so powerful...

No, it should be that the master was hacked to death with a flurry of blows!
At this moment, a hint of relief appeared on Sheng Changquan's face beneath the mask.

Although it seemed that the three men in black were dealt with extremely easily, with Sheng Changquan wiping them out in just a few moves, those familiar with martial arts could understand the difficulty involved.

They're all characters who make a living with knives year after year, and none of them are simple.

Fortunately, of the three men in black, one was killed in a sneak attack, another was not skilled in martial arts and was injured, and the last one died because he was surrounded and attacked. After this process, all the enemies were defeated.

This matter is now concluded...

"Master!"

Xu Changqing took two steps closer and shook his head at Sheng Changquan, indicating that he had not found anything.

It turned out that after the battle, Xu Changqing searched the men in black for a while, trying to find something, but unfortunately, apart from a token from the Prince of Yong's mansion that could prove their identities, he found nothing else.

Sheng Changquan was not particularly surprised by this.

"Alright, let's go take care of those two over there!"

He didn't care about these guys lying dead in the wild. Anyway, there was no shortage of meat-eaters in these mountains. As long as he left these guys here overnight, he would make sure that no one would find a single clue the next day.

Sheng Changquan glanced in the direction of Rong Feiyan and the other person, signaling Xu Changqing to follow.

……

"coming!"

"coming!"

"Peony, they're here!"

Rong Feiyan hid behind Mudan and muttered to herself.

Her voice was soft, but her rhythm was rapid, as if she were very scared.

"Girl, don't be afraid!"

"They probably meant no harm!"

Based on her observations, Peony was certain that the other party and the man in black were not working together. In fact, her intuition told her that the two of them had no ill intentions towards them.

"Uh-huh……"

Rong Feiyan hid behind her maid, nodding frantically, then said fearfully, "Peony, you...you go and tell them..."

"Just...just say...my Rong family will remember this kindness...and in the future...we will surely repay it handsomely!"

Rong Feiyan wasn't stupid; she knew what social interactions were.

"tread!"

When Sheng Changquan reached a distance of three zhang from Rong Feiyan and the others, he stopped there.

These two girls are probably terrified after what they've been through, so Sheng Changquan didn't want to make them nervous again. Therefore, he deliberately left this distance so that they could feel at ease.

Rong Feiyan and Mudan immediately sensed Sheng Changquan's goodwill. "This man is really kind!"

A sudden surge of emotion welled up in Rong Feiyan's heart!
"Benefactor!"

Peony stepped forward and spoke first.

"Thank you so much for your help this time!"

With Rong Feiyan's authorization, Peony felt more confident. She tried hard not to think about the scene of heads flying everywhere, and stood up with difficulty, saying, "If it weren't for your help, my lady and I would probably not have escaped this calamity!"

Peony curtsied to Sheng Changquan: "My benefactor, my young lady said that if you ever need anything in the future, please go to the Rong family in the capital and knock on their door. As long as it is within the Rong family's power, they will not refuse you!"

Behind her, Rong Feiyan also bowed to Mudan.

Although she somewhat avoided the gaze directed at her, she nodded frantically to show her agreement.

The Rong family has accepted this matter!
"Ok!"

Hearing this, Sheng Changquan was also satisfied.

Although I didn't do this out of gratitude to the Rong family, the reward is still quite good. It's always good to take advantage of things, and who knows, I might need the Rong family's favor in the future!
On the other side, Rong Feiyan and her servant, who had been observing the two, were overjoyed when they saw Sheng Changquan's mask sway slightly, knowing that he had accepted this statement.

"That……"

Peony tentatively asked, "May I ask, my benefactor, if you could escort us back to the capital?"

Sheng Changquan didn't speak, he just stood there.

Seeing the other party's reaction, both Mudan and Rong Feiyan panicked!
If the other party doesn't lend a hand, the two of them might have difficulty returning on their own, and they might even encounter wild beasts in the forest and be in mortal danger.

"My benefactor..."

"If it is inconvenient for you, my benefactor, then please escort us out of this mountain forest!"

Peony thought that Sheng Changquan was being difficult, so she lowered her request and took a step back, saying, "Please, benefactor, consider that we are both weak women and help us out. We would be eternally grateful!"

Peony turned to the side and bowed to Sheng Changquan again to show her sincerity.

Behind her, Rong Feiyan followed suit and gave a deep bow.

However, Sheng Changquan still remained silent.

At this moment, not only were Rong Feiyan and her servant in despair, but even Xu Changqing behind Sheng Changquan was somewhat bewildered!
"Master, what's going on?"

Xu Changqing's approach was not working: "Is the young master not speaking because he has taken a fancy to the Rong family's daughter?"

Looking at Rong Feiyan, who had a graceful figure and fair skin, his mind began to wander.

"But young master is only seven years old? Does he already want a woman?"

Sheng Changquan was exceptionally gifted and highly skilled in martial arts. Not only was he much taller than his peers, but his blood and energy were also much more abundant than those of ordinary adults. With such abundant blood and energy, it was hard to say what would happen in certain aspects.

Just as Xu Changqing's gaze gradually became strange, even perverse, Sheng Changquan finally spoke.

"Token of affection".

A simple sentence, but to Peony, it was like a dazzling ray of light, pulling her out of the darkness.

"Token?"

Rong Feiyan hadn't yet figured out what the other person meant, but Mudan did.

"Young lady, our benefactor wants you to give him a token representing the Rong family's gratitude!"

Seeing her daughter's confusion, Peony quickly explained.

Indeed, if they don't give a token, how will the Rong family be able to tell if he is their benefactor in the future?
