I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

As the white mist appeared, Mu Chaoyun and Xie Lingyun disappeared in the mist, appearing and disappearing, just like fairies.

Zheng Ling stared at this scene in a daze. Suddenly, his mind moved. His nose twitched, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

He dodged without even waiting to open the door, and rushed out of the window, falling into the sudden white fog in the yard.

After taking a deep breath, Zheng Ling showed a look of shock and joy:

"What a spiritual energy! What a spiritual gathering formation!"

Unexpectedly, this is really a spirit gathering formation!
Moreover, so much spiritual energy was generated as soon as the formation was formed. It is not just an ordinary spirit gathering formation!
Although this white mist had a burst factor that formed into a formation for a moment, it would never be so efficient afterwards;

But by practicing in such a top-grade spirit gathering formation, Zheng Ling’s breakthrough to the Grandmaster level is not completely hopeless!

He looked at Mu Chaoyun, his expression suddenly became surprised, cautious, and respectful:

"So the girl is also a master of formations. I was blind. Haha, I didn't expect that the old friend of Chief Escort Zhao and Chief Escort Lu is such a great man.

"Thank you for your hard work in setting up the formation. Thank you for setting up the formation for my Xingyu Escort Agency. Alas, I was in a critical period of training this afternoon and was unable to welcome you. We will go to Shiquan Building at noon tomorrow and I will personally entertain you."

Mu Chaoyun looked at him quietly, waiting for him to finish, and then said:
"This formation is not for you."

"what?"

Zheng Ling was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly turned ugly. However, facing a master of formations, he was very cautious and forced a smile:
"Young lady, you are joking. Since you are setting up the formation in Xingyu Escort Agency, I, as the most powerful escort leader in the escort agency, should also lead the formation, right?"

He laid emphasis on the four words "highest strength", hinting at his own contribution and status.

The escort agency was in trouble, and Zheng Ling wanted to make a last-ditch effort in the next two days and then run away with all the goods.

But now that there is such a formation, he will definitely not want to leave.

Mu Chaoyun just stared at him and asked:

"What did you want to do to Lingyun just now?"

Zheng Ling's expression suddenly changed, and he bared his teeth and said:
"Just now? I just thought of taking her as my disciple because I saw she was talented. But since she is a master of formations, her cultivation must not be too bad. I was just being too sentimental."

Xie Lingyun was already furious, and said:
"Do you think I'm a fool? Bah, so disgusting!"

Zheng Ling's face was solemn, and he shook his head:

"I know I am afraid I cannot teach you, young lady, but I have a sincere heart to accept you as my disciple, so there is no need to do this."

He insisted that he was accepting a disciple and had no other intentions.

He realized that the other party might have a prominent background. If he admitted that he had any ill intentions, he would probably get into trouble.

The commotion had attracted others. Zhao Xingyang and Lu Zhenyu came together, and Xie Yuan and Situ Qin also rushed over.

After a brief exchange of ideas, everyone understood what had happened and their faces turned grim.

Zhao Xingyang was furious and cursed:
"Zheng Ling, you used to be so arrogant, but you even dared to have evil intentions towards Miss Lingyun? You idiot, do you know who she is?"

When Zheng Ling saw that Zhao Xingyang actually yelled at him in front of everyone, his face darkened and he stiffened his neck and said:
"I said, I just want to accept a disciple, nothing else. What's wrong with accepting a disciple? What level are you, Zhao Xingyang and Lu Zhenyu, and how can you meet a rich lady? Of course, I admire this formation master lady.

"But what's wrong with accepting a disciple? I, Zheng Ling, am a master of the third level of transformation. It's not against the heavenly rules to accept a disciple.

"I won't accept it now. Well, Zhao Biaotou, I have agreed to fight the day after tomorrow. If you contact a few more people, I can stop Jin Laowu."

Zhao Xingyang looked at him as if he were a fool and sneered:
"Go to war? Do you know that this is Miss Lingyun, the legitimate daughter of the Chenjun Xie family, a fairy-like figure? How dare you have evil thoughts about her?"

"what?"

Zheng Ling was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale.

Xie Yuan finally spoke:

"Captain Zhao, if I remember correctly, you said before that you saved his life?"

"good."

Zhao Xingyang nodded.

Xie Yuan said without comment:
"It seems to me like he saved your life."

Zhao Xingyang suddenly felt a little ashamed:
"We are not as strong as others, and we are constrained in every way..."

Xie Yuan said:
"Since you saved his life, let him return it."

Zheng Ling's body shook violently, and he said in a dry voice:

"I really just wanted to accept a disciple... I didn't know she was Xie's daughter. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to do it even if I had a hundred guts!"

"Then if she is not a daughter of the Xie family, but just a commoner, does she deserve it?"

Xie Yuan looked at Zhao Xingyang:
"There are bandits in the escort agency."

Zhao Xingyang looked serious:
"I guarantee that he has not done anything similar in the past two years. At most, he was just greedy for the resources earned by the escort agency. As for the past, I really haven't checked it."

Xie Yuan understood that the escort agency had to rely on Zheng Ling and could not be too strict.

"The escort agency is not a place where filth and corruption can be hidden. If Ling Yun was really an ordinary person who came to visit relatives, I'm afraid he would have suffered a brutal blow by now. Escort Captain Zhao, you should clean up the mess."

Xie Yuan said.

When Zheng Ling heard this, his face turned as pale as paper.

With a snap, he knelt on the ground, crying bitterly:
"Captain of the Escorts, please forgive me this time. I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment. Look, I didn't do it in the end. I can still make amends! I can still contribute to the Escort Agency! From now on, I will do my best and never have second thoughts!"

Zhao Xingyang sighed and said slowly:

"Zheng Ling, how can anyone believe what you say now?"

Zheng Ling saw that Zhao Xingyang was really going to take action, and screamed in his heart:
"Damn it, you're just a woman, but you don't care about what I've done for you! If you don't let me live, then you all should die!"

He still struggled and begged for mercy. Seeing Zhao Xingyang just raised the knife, his eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly jumped up and rushed forward.

puff--

With a slight sound, Xie Yuan's hand just moved a little, and Zheng Ling's head and body were separated.

With two loud bangs, the head and the corpse fell to the ground respectively. The gushing blood made Zhao Xingyang and Lu Zhenyu stunned.

I can't see clearly at all...the gap is too big.

The escorts and porters surrounding them all had dazed expressions on their faces.

They didn't expect that Zheng Ling, who was once the strongest and most aggressive person in the escort agency, would die just like that?

Many people don't even know who did it.

Zhao Xingyang was the first to react and ordered his men:

"Go and have a look in his room."

The confidant responded and quickly found many elixirs and medicinal herbs for cultivation, a large number of silver bills, and even a wanted warrant hidden in the secret compartment of a book.

Although the person on the wanted poster has hair, his eyebrows and eyes vaguely resemble Zheng Ling.

The wanted order was issued by Chunyu Tower, saying that this person was a notorious bandit who had committed many massacres of families and killed innocent people, with over a hundred lives on his hands, so a large reward was offered.

Zhao Xingyang's face was solemn:
"I didn't expect that we would find a wanted criminal as our escort leader..."

Xie Yuan said nothing. He believed that Zhao Xingyang was unaware of it at first.

But regardless of Zheng Ling's appearance, one could tell from his aura that he was not a good person. Didn't he notice any clues when they were getting along?

Xie Yuan didn't know either.

Time will change many things, and time will definitely change people.

Two days later.

The Jinmen Escort Agency, which occupies a large area on Zhuque Street, the main road in Luoyang City, is extremely busy today.

As the undisputed number one escort agency in Luoyang City, Jinmen Escort Agency is large in scale and powerful in strength, with business extending from the northern frontier to the south of the Yangtze River.

The chief escort, Mr. Jin, was already a master twenty years ago, and his five sons are known as the Five Tigers of Jinmen. They are all masters of the third level of Qi and Blood.

Everyone believes that among the Five Tigers of Kinmen, at least one grandmaster will emerge in the next few years. By then, the Kinmen Escort Agency will have two grandmasters and will be among the best in the entire escort industry of the Dali Dynasty.

There are many masters in Kinmen, and they have many people under them. But compared with the expansion of Kinmen's business, there are not enough porters and escorts.

So today, the Kinmen Escort Agency gathered those disobedient small escort agencies together to compete.

The luxurious and majestic door of the escort agency was opened, revealing a training ground that looked like a military training ground.

There were people coming and going at the gate. Apart from those who were related to the Kinmen Escort Agency and came to watch the fun, there were also those pale-faced people from small and medium-sized escort agencies who had come here with gritted teeth.

For the escort leaders and escort masters of these small and medium-sized escort agencies, today is a test of life and death - not only for the agencies, but also for themselves, in a literal sense.

Once on the ring, life or death depends on your ability.

This is also Kinmen's method. Those who can't stand the pressure sign and seal early and sell the escort agency's assets to Kinmen.

Jinmen felt that he was being fair in exchanging the years of hard work, life-and-death struggles, and the livelihood of the families of the dead and injured brothers for some meager pension money.

Looking at the five sturdy men in gorgeous clothes standing in a row under the corridor, the escort leaders of the small escort agency secretly showed hatred but did not dare to express it openly, even though they were already tough enough to come here.

Xie Yuan followed Zhao Xingyang and Lu Zhenyu and stood in a corner. He glanced at the five people sitting in the corridor and thought to himself:
"This old man Jin's bloodline is really good. All five of his sons have been able to train to this level and have the potential to become grandmasters. This is considered a big win. No wonder Jinmen can be the number one escort agency in Luoyang."

Xie Yuan thought casually.

Compared to the other escort agencies that were on high alert, the Xingyu Escort Agency was much calmer.

The moment Zhao Xingyang and Lu Zhenyu learned that Xie Yuan was going to take action, they knew that the escort agency had been saved.

When everyone had arrived and the time was almost up, the man in the middle of the five men sitting in the corridor slowly stood up.

He was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and a beard on his square face. His eyes were sharp and full of brilliance. When he glanced at everyone in the room, no one dared to look him in the eye.

It was Jin Yong, the eldest of the Five Tigers of Kinmen, a master who was said to be close to being a master.

Jin Yong said:

"You all are here today to exchange martial arts among the Luoyang escorts.

“But even though it’s a competition, there’s no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. No one can hold back on the stage. Death and injury are at your own risk. You guys should think carefully.

"If you don't want to participate, you can withdraw now."

He said in public that he could advance or retreat freely, but everyone knew what the conditions for withdrawal were.

Seeing that no one spoke, Jin Yong's eyes flashed coldly and he shouted:

"Very good! You are all brave warriors. With you escort leaders, the Luoyang Escort Company will surely prosper.
"In that case, the competition begins now!"

After he finished speaking, he lifted his skirt and dodged directly to the arena in the middle of the martial arts arena, looking down at the escort leaders around him:

"I am Jin Yong, but I am here to lead the charge."

With a bang, he stepped onto the platform and the entire arena shook.

There was silence in the audience. Unexpectedly, Boss Jin went on stage directly and was the first to take action!
This is clearly a warning to the people around.

Jin Yong stood there, and seeing the fearful and awe-inspiring gazes of everyone below, he raised his head slightly.

But seeing that no one came up, he stared at the front team of the escort agency with eagle eyes, looking at the middle-aged man leading the team:

"Captain Zuo, your Zuo Escort Agency is the model for the escort agencies in the south of the city, so please come on stage."

The left escort leader had a solemn expression on his face.

He inherited his father's business and worked hard for many years to develop the Zuo's Escort Agency from a small agency to a medium-sized agency in Luoyang City. He himself is also a powerful master of the Third Transformation Realm.

Faced with the annexation of the Kinmen Escort Agency, he naturally refused.

Not to mention that this was his father's hard work, there were thousands of people in the escort agency who needed to eat, many of whom were old brothers who had fought with his father. Now the disabled and dead were injured, and their families depended on the escort agency for support, but Jinmen offered a price, only strong men, and did not care about the lives of these old, weak, women and children.

The left dart leader had a resolute expression on his face. He took a deep breath, jumped directly onto the stage, and bowed, saying:
"Please give me some advice, Master Jin."

Seeing him bravely stepping onto the stage, Jin Yong's eyes flashed with cold lightning, and he placed his hand on the golden sword and said calmly:

"You go first."

The left escort leader knew that Jin Yong had a high level of cultivation and was extremely powerful, so he did not dare to be arrogant and drew his sword immediately after hearing his words.

choke--

Suddenly, a stream of cold spring burst out on the stage, and the long sword with a cold glow pierced Jin Yong's face in an instant.

Xie Yuan blinked slightly as he watched, remembering that someone was discussing this just now.

"This Zuo Biaotou is known as the fastest swordsman in the south of Luoyang City. It seems that he really has some good skills."

The Floating Light Sword can naturally be considered a fast sword, although this speed is close to the path. Therefore, Xie Yuan is very familiar with this kind of swordsmanship. When he saw Zuo Biaotou's technique, he nodded slightly, knowing that he had mastered it and lived up to his reputation.

Although it is not appropriate to call yourself the number one in a place like Luoyang City where many people gather, the Grandmaster realm is often not discussed by people in the martial arts world, and the Three Transformation Realm is often the pinnacle. Therefore, no one says anything about these titles, and they assume that it is the Transformation Realm, and most Grandmasters don't care.

However, although Xie Yuan admired the swordsmanship of the left escort leader, he shook his head slightly.

Most people in the audience only felt a flash in their eyes, and the long sword of Zuo Biaotou was already at Jin Yong's face, as if he had no reaction at all, and their mood became excited in an instant.

However, the next moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst out on the stage, as if golden flames were burning.

Jin Yong drew his sword in an instant, and the long-accumulated golden sword arrived first, like a golden thunder falling towards the wrist of the left dart leader.

The left dart leader did not expect Jin Yong's knife to be so fierce, and he was about to cut off his hand in the blink of an eye, and he was immediately terrified. However, he deserved the title of the fastest swordsman, with a very fast reaction and a very fierce decision. He instantly let go of the sword and retracted his hand, stabbing the long sword directly out, and dodged the knife himself.

He knew that if he put away his sword, he would definitely not be able to defeat Jin Yong if he continued to fight with him. Once the flying sword was thrown, the weapon would have left his hand. It would be a matter of life and death, with no follow-up killing moves.

The long sword was already in front of his face, thrusting forward. An ordinary person would not be able to dodge it, even if they had a higher level of cultivation.

However, at the critical moment, Jin Yong turned his head, stretched out his palm, and blood burst out.

The long sword was knocked away from the side and fell far outside the field. On Jin Yong's hand, there was only a faint trace of blood.

The left dart leader's face turned pale instantly, he gritted his teeth and said with difficulty:
"I think……"

However, before he could finish his words, Jin Yong suddenly flashed forward, and the golden sword fell from the sky like thunder, slashing towards him.

The left escort leader was immediately in a panic. He was not as strong as the enemy to begin with, and without weapons, he had no way to resist. In the midst of danger, Jin Yong seized the opportunity, grinned, and kicked the left escort leader in the chest.

With a snap, the left dart leader flew out of the ring and was caught by someone. Blood spurted out and no one knew how many ribs he had broken.

"Jin Yong! You're going too far. My escort leader has already admitted defeat, but you're still so brutal!"

Someone from Zuo's Escort Agency was so angry that his hair stood on end, pointing his halberd at Jin Yong.

Jin Yong said coldly:
"Really? I didn't hear it. Oh, if I really want to kill him, do you think he can survive?"

Although he saved Zuo's life, he was so seriously injured that he would have to lie down for several months to recover. Without him, Zuo's Escort Agency would not be able to resist Jinmen no matter what.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Jin Yong grinned:
"Who else is coming? Jin can still fight again."

No one responded. The strongest left-hand escort leader in these escort agencies was seriously injured. Who could be Jin Yong's opponent?
What's more, even if the round-robin battle exhausted Jin Yong's strength, he still had four brothers in the audience, eyeing him covetously.

There was a moment of absolute silence.

Jin Yong was not very satisfied. He glanced at everyone and pointed at one:
"Boss Xiong, please come up."

The burly bear dart leader turned pale instantly, shrank back for a moment, and then flushed again:
"Boss, I'll think about what I said before..."

"Oh? Bear Biaotou, you are not trying to delay time or play tricks, right?"

Jin Yong's eyes lit up and he smiled.

Xiong Biaotou shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he dared not.

With the lesson learned from Chief Escort Zuo and Chief Escort Xiong taking the lead, Jin Yong selected the men next and all the escort agencies surrendered immediately.

Jin Yong was very proud and his four brothers in the corridor also smiled.

The people in the audience were filled with gloom and confusion, not knowing where the future lay.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the corner:
"My Xingyu Escort Agency will never accept it!"

There was a sudden silence in the Kinmen Escort Agency, and countless people looked towards this corner.

A nearby small escort agency immediately distanced itself from the others. Some people murmured, while others quietly advised:

"Is Zhao Xingyang crazy? Why is he still insisting on doing this? Do you want to be beaten to death?"

"Captain Zhao, calm down! You have seen how tough Jinmen is. Agree first and then make plans."

"It's good to be the boss, but entering Kinmen will give you a wider world."

Jin Yong's cold eyes instantly fixed on Zhao Xingyang, like a man-eating tiger.

If you still go against him at this time, he will not just be seriously injured.

He exudes murderous intent:
"Very good, Zhao, you want to go by yourself or what? Don't accuse me of bullying the weak. I've already said that only those who have reached the third level of transformation are qualified to open an escort agency in Luoyang."

Zhao Xingyang had a solemn expression on his face. He turned slightly and bowed to the side.

Xie Yuan smiled and whispered:

"Lingyun, go ahead! It's decided that it's you!"

Although Xie Lingyun was prepared, she rolled her eyes and felt that Xie Yuan's tone was not well-intentioned.

She took a step and floated gently onto the stage, without a trace of fireworks in her movements.

Many eyes on and off the stage were fixed instantly. Those with average abilities were still confused, but those with a little insight could see the magic of this move.

Xie Lingyun had disguised herself long ago and looked ordinary, but she was still a petite woman. Compared with the eight-foot-tall Jin Yong, there was a huge difference between them.

Jin Yong frowned and calmed down a bit:
"Who are you? When did Xingyu Escort Agency have such a person as you?"

"I just hired a porter. Do you want to fight?"

Xie Lingyun said impatiently.

What is her identity? She usually chatters, but only to Xie Yuan. She doesn't say a word to anyone else.

What's more, she was sent by Xie Yuan to be a thug just because she was the only one who was not a master... She was already upset.

Jin Yong's voice paused, and he said with a grim expression:

"Girl, you better think carefully. Fists and feet don't have eyes, and getting hurt is no joke."

"Do you think I'm kidding you? You talk so much nonsense."

Xie Lingyun said coldly.

Being scolded rudely by Xie Lingyun repeatedly in front of many escort agencies and guests made Jin Yong's blood rush to his head.

He, Jinmen Dalang, has always been respected by everyone in Luoyang City. Except for a few families, who has ever made him suffer any injustice?

"Okay! In that case, I'll ask Xingyu Escort Agency for your guidance."

Jin Yong suppressed his temper, but his eyes were cold. Xie Lingyun was not polite either, and with a flick of her hand, the soft sword flashed with a pool of autumn water and shot out.

A dazzling sword light suddenly lit up on the ring, and as the soft sword changed, it seemed to be everywhere.

Jin Yong's eyes blurred and his face changed drastically. He found that he couldn't see where the soft sword was going and didn't know how to resist.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the golden sword, but it was not as fast as usual. Instead, it circled around his body, making it airtight.

The sound of bangs was like frying beans, and the soft sword and the golden knife clashed countless times.

Jin Yong was defeated step by step, and was in a dilemma, and he even retreated to the edge of the ring.

Seeing that he would be kicked out of the ring if he retreated again, Jin Yong gritted his teeth and launched a fierce counterattack as a last resort.

The long sword was like golden thunder, slashing forward.

Xie Lingyun dodged with a dodge, seemingly reluctantly. Fortunately, Jin Yong's move was also reluctant, with almost no reserve and no follow-up moves.

The two men passed each other, and Xie Lingyun's soft sword suddenly turned like a poisonous snake, leaving a streak of blood on Jin Yong's body.

Jin Yong felt a pain in his waist and abdomen, and groaned. Feeling the chill in his abdomen, he was horrified and was about to admit defeat when Xie Lingyun kicked him away.

The remaining four tigers of Kinmen rushed forward and took over the eldest brother, but found that the sword wound in his abdomen almost cut him open, and his chest was broken, and he was seriously injured.

"How brave!"

Jin Laoer shouted loudly, rushed onto the stage, and pointed at the breathless Xie Lingyun.

"In a ring fight, no matter the death or injury, isn't that what you said?"

Xie Lingyun took two breaths and stood up.

Xie Yuan's face was filled with black lines. This girl's acting skills were too poor. How could she not take a breath halfway through?
But the other side didn't seem to notice it either.

Although Jin Lao Er was very afraid of Xie Lingyun, he saw that she was almost injured by the counterattack just now, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot of damage. He didn't believe that his eldest brother couldn't consume the opponent's energy at all. His eyes flashed and he said coldly:

"Jin Lie, the second son of the Jin family, please teach me."

Xie Lingyun did not answer, and stabbed out with the soft sword again.

In this battle, she slowed down the pace and fought for a long time, making Jin Lao Er and the Jin family members in the audience think that they had a chance to win several times. But in the end, she was "one step behind" and was knocked out of the ring by Xie Lingyun, falling to the ground seriously injured.

Xie Lingyun began to put her hands on her hips and pant again, rolling her eyes secretly.

If Xie Yuan hadn't told her to take it easy and beat each of them first, she could have taken care of these two men in just one or two moves.

Xie Lingyun looked petite, but the resources she had used and the techniques she had practiced since she was young were all the best. Her physical strength, blood and internal energy were all far superior to the Five Tigers of the Jin Family. Although she was petite, she could beat the opponent with one punch and make him dare not talk big anymore.

In addition, her family-inherited martial arts skills are even more superb, and Xie Yi himself said that her talent is even better than his master. In fact, she is a genius with extremely strong strength.

However, the daughter of a wealthy family, the beloved daughter of her parents, was finally sent to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain where she encountered a life-threatening accident. Later, Cui Pingjun was even more reluctant to let her gain experience and she had no chance to show her talents.

Jin Sanyi, who had been unfriendly to Zhao Xingyang and Lu Zhenyu in Shiquan Building, was very afraid, but he knew that his opponents had already been exhausted, so he went straight to the stage.

After a round of back and forth, he accidentally made a mistake and was seriously injured.

Now seeing Xie Lingyun looking exhausted and weak again, Jin Laosi was also somewhat surprised and doubtful.

Situ Qin was eating sunflower seeds and watching the excitement from the audience. When she saw her opponent was hesitant, she rolled her eyes and shouted:

"Sister, you are almost exhausted, don't be so stubborn! You are fighting well, come down!"

Xie Lingyun was stunned for a moment, looked at Situ Qin, and realized something. She then acted hesitant and prepared to leave the ring.

Seeing this, Jin Laosi suddenly became more determined and jumped up:

"Don't leave!"

Xie Lingyun's eyes lit up and she hurried over to meet him.

A moment later, Jin Laosi vomited blood and flew back.

Xie Lingyun, who won by "luck", knelt on one knee with a pale face, then secretly gave Situ Qin a thumbs up. Seeing this, Situ Qin smiled triumphantly.

When Jin Laowu saw Xie Lingyun like this, he was very hesitant for a moment.

Although the previous brothers were beaten down like this, it shouldn't happen to me, right? She should really be in trouble, right?

If they don't go up, Kinmen will be known for being cowardly and lose face.

The audience was completely silent, and countless people were looking at Xie Lingyun on the stage with shocked faces.

Where did Xingyu Escort Agency find this female escort?
Even better than the Five Tigers of Kinmen?

They knew that this was the expert Zhao Xingyang had invited, but they didn't know how this expert could be so powerful. He challenged four tigers alone, and the last tiger seemed to be shrinking back.

No wonder Zhao Xingyang was so confident and refused directly. It turned out that he had such a helper.

Jin Laowu couldn't hold back under the various looks from the crowd, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to go on stage and fight.

This woman must be bluffing, she will fall down if touched.

Just as he was about to step onto the stage, he suddenly heard a majestic and powerful voice:

"What a bunch of idiots, don't you see that others are giving in to you?"

The door to the hall opened wide, and an old man with an extremely powerful aura and a tall and strong figure walked out.

Everyone looked at the old man and fell silent for a moment.

Because this person is the head of the Jinmen Escort Agency, a powerful man in Luoyang City, and a master Jin Tiannan.

Jin Tiannan glanced at his injured son, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

He snorted, flashed onto the stage, and looked at Xie Lingyun with a serious expression.

Xie Lingyun showed no fear at all, but was eager to try.

Xie Yuan and the two women are down there, what can a mere Jin Tiannan do to them?

Moreover, even without them, Xie Lingyun had a complete set of magic weapons at this time, which she had never really used. She had long wanted to try Mu Chaoyun's skills.

Jin Tiannan seemed to sense Xie Lingyun's confidence. She showed no fear in the face of him, and his eyes flashed slightly.

The atmosphere was a little subtle. He shook his head and said lightly:

"Little girl, call your parents over."

He could tell at a glance that this girl was someone of great importance. Although she didn't reveal her true appearance, she was obviously very young. To have such a high level of cultivation at this age, she must have a strong backing.

Jin Tiannan had been in Luoyang for many years, so he would not offend anyone easily, but he was not afraid of anyone coming. He wanted to see which dragon had come here.

Xie Lingyun said disdainfully:

"unnecessary."

Jin Tiannan remained calm and glanced at Xie Yuan and the other two people in the audience. He could clearly feel that Zhao Xingyang respected these three people very much.

"No need to look, I'm the oldest here, they all call me sister."

Xie Lingyun raised her head and said.

Situ Qin: “?”

Mu Chaoyun: “?”

Xie Yuan: "???"

Jin Tiannan frowned and said slowly:
"Miss, the martial world has its own rules, and the escort business has its own principles. You can stand up for Xingyu Escort Agency, but you have to tell me your background, so that I can know which god you are worshipping. If you give in without knowing anything, I can't run my escort agency. Miss, you are not trying to settle the matter, but to stir up trouble.

"The Kinmen Escort Agency is very strict with rules, but if we encounter troublemakers, I, Jin, will also use drastic measures. I don't think this is what your master intended, is it?

"Let the elders speak."

Xie Lingyun choked and frowned:
"Why are you talking so much..."

Before she could figure out how to deal with this high-sounding speech, she heard Xie Yuan say:
"Sister, come down, let the elders talk, hehe."

Everyone felt their eyes dazzled, and suddenly saw an ordinary man appear on the stage.

When Jin Tiannan saw Xie Yuan's movements, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Xie Yuan looked at Jin Tiannan, smiled and patted Xie Lingyun on the shoulder.

Xie Lingyun glanced at him, snorted, turned around and walked off the stage.

"Chief Escort Jin."

Xie Yuan cupped his hands:

"Should we continue with today's competition?"

Jin Tiannan looked at Xie Yuan with a frown on his face.

This person should also be very young, but his cultivation level... he was actually a little unsure of what to judge.

His brows were furrowed:
"My friend, this is a matter within the Luoyang Escort Agency and has nothing to do with outsiders..."

"I'm from Xingyu Escort Agency. I've even raised that flag before."

Xie Yuan interrupted calmly.

Seeing this, Jin Tiannan placed his hand on the golden knife:

"In that case..."

A gust of wind suddenly blew across the training ground, and the atmosphere became solemn and murderous.

The audiences in the audience were getting a little nervous, and Zhao Xingyang and Lu Zhenyu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Situ Qin and the other two girls looked relaxed, as they knew Xie Yuan's strength.

Whether it was a genius like Ji Xuan or the elders of the Ji family of the Demon Cult, they were all dead souls under his hands, not to mention Jin Tiannan? If the helmsman of the Jinmen Escort Agency had that kind of strength, there would be no need to painstakingly annex other escort agencies.

What's more, Xie Yuan's strength was improving all the time, at a speed that they could see but not understand.

Xie Yuan looked at Jin Tiannan quietly, seeing him holding the knife in a serious tone, waiting for him to make a move.

Jin Tiannan suddenly let go and said:

"Then the Xingyu Escort Agency will win this competition."

The audience was suddenly stunned.

But Jin Tiannan said to Xie Yuan before the noise started:
"But my friend, regarding the merger of the escort agencies, I would like you to meet someone."

Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows:
"Who?"

Jin Tiannan gestured for invitation, then took Xie Yuan off the stage, walked into the hall, and went up to the second floor.

“Although my five sons can usually hold their own, it is still me who should be present at this kind of conference.

“The reason I didn’t show up at first was because I had to accompany a distinguished guest.

"My friend, although my Jinmen Escort Agency is not small, it is not easy for me, Jin Tiannan, to integrate so many escort agencies alone.

"If it weren't for the imperial court's strategy to open up the northern trade route, it wouldn't have been so easy for the Jinmen Escort Agency to become the number one escort agency in Luoyang."

Jin Tiannan stood in front of the screen and looked at Xie Yuan:

“Although you have your backers, don’t I have any big trees on my head?

"The noble man inside is the prefect of Luoyang. If Xingyu Escort Agency refuses to cooperate and you do not want to reveal your identity, then go and explain to him."

He led Xie Yuan around the screen and entered the inner room, then showed a respectful look to the people inside:
"Thank you, sir. There was a small incident on the stage. I dare not take the initiative."

Xie Yuan followed him out and saw an elegant and noble middle-aged man sitting alone inside.

He looked at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man also looked at him, and then slowly stood up.

"See the head of the family!"

The prefect of Luoyang bowed.

Jin Tiannan's head buzzed and he froze instantly.

Seeing that the other party had a mysterious background, he brought out Xie Wenxuan, the prefect of Luoyang and a descendant of the Chenjun Xie family, to suppress the other party.

Who knew that his big backer would bow down directly when he met someone?
Xie Yuan looked at the tribesman he had met a year ago, and was a little surprised:
"How did you recognize me?"

Xie Wenxuan stood up and smiled:

"Wenxuan will always remember the voice, appearance and smile of the master... Oh, I just heard you say downstairs that you had raised the flag in the escort agency. Wenxuan often reads the master's biography and learns your governance strategies, so I immediately thought of your deeds. Then I saw your sword, which is unique and tasteful. It is indeed you, the master, who has come."

And a short biography?

Xie Yuan was stunned when he heard this, then he looked down at the sword at his waist.

He did like to use the same style, similar to the Yunshan sword, and never thought that he would be recognized in this way.

Although he did not transform himself very seriously, Xie Wenxuan, as a veteran in the officialdom, still put in some effort.

Xie Yuan nodded and said:
"I heard that you were the one who pushed for this escort agency merger..."

"Master, this is absolutely not the case! I only asked them to develop the northern trade route and contribute to the court and the family. They misinterpreted it."

Xie Wenxuan flatly denied it and distanced himself from the matter.

Xie Yuan did not comment:

"The Xingyu Escort Agency..."

"Of course it all depends on the master's will. Chief Escort Jin..."

When Jin Tiannan saw Xie Wenxuan turning towards him, he was shocked.

He was still in shock. He had never imagined that these people were from the Xie family, and were the patriarch of the Xie family!

Why would such a big shot have nothing better to do than to go on an incognito visit?
Jin Tiannan was filled with bitterness. He had wanted to know their identities before, and felt resentful when they didn't tell him.

But now that he knew, he would rather not know.

Jin Tiannan's throat was a little dry:

"I will never make things difficult for Xingyu Escort Agency again. No, I will help Xingyu Escort Agency grow and develop. I will give you money and people if you need them."

Xie Yuan frowned:

"Our escort agency doesn't want to do anything like seizing property. Please don't get involved in this in the future."

He turned to Xie Wenxuan:

"I won't be the head of the family anymore, so don't call me that."

Seeing that things were almost over, Xie Yuan waved his hand, not wanting to stay any longer, and walked away.

After going downstairs, he nodded to his companions, and the group left leisurely amid the various gazes of the onlookers.

The crowd automatically parted to make way for the only escort company that escaped unscathed.

On the second floor.

Jin Tiannan looked at Xie Wenxuan with a somewhat nervous expression:

"Sir, the prefect, why is this master of the family here? This..."

Xie Wenxuan waved his hand, his expression indifferent:
"Don't be too alarmed. He is a magnanimous man and will not do anything to you just because you offended him unintentionally."

Jin Tiannan breathed a sigh of relief, then hesitated and said:
"But, sir, I heard that he has already resigned and been driven out of the power center? Now it seems that he is indeed unemployed..."

"so what?"

Xie Wenxuan asked back.

His expression was deep:
"For such a big shot at the top of the tower, no matter whether he rises or falls, it is only a temporary matter. As long as he doesn't ask me to take sides, he is still the head of the family. Moreover, even if he leaves this position, he is still standing on the top of the clouds and has a bright future. How can I be negligent in the slightest?"

Jin Tiannan nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Xie Wenxuan said something meaningful:
"I heard that this gentleman has a noble character and hates evil. I'm afraid he can't stand your methods."

Jin Tiannan frowned and thought deeply.

Inside Xingyu Escort Agency.

Zhao Xingyang and Lu Zhenyu were celebrating their success in preserving the inheritance of the Longteng Escort Agency.

As a great contributor, Xie Yuan was naturally the first guest.

"Many years later, Xie Yuan, you have made another great contribution to the escort agency!"

Zhao Xingyang's drunken words made Xie Yuan, Lu Zhenyu and himself feel dazed and confused as to what day it was.

Xie Yuan felt a little ashamed. Although Shen Longteng himself believed that the disaster of the escort agency was a fate that was bound to happen sooner or later, Xie Yuan always felt that he had some responsibility.

He glanced at Mu Chaoyun, who looked calm, wondering what she was thinking. Perhaps she also had some ideas, which was why she took the initiative to set up a huge formation here.

After three rounds of drinks, there was a sudden knock on the door of the escort agency.

The doorman came to report in a panic, and Zhao Xingyang sobered up a bit when he heard it.

Xie Yuan naturally heard the content with his good hearing. He raised his eyebrows and followed them to the door.

"Jin Tiannan, what are you doing here again?"

Zhao Xingyang frowned.

Jin Tiannan held the golden knife and looked at Xie Yuan behind him.

He was tall and had a strong aura. He first turned around and closed the door, then slowly took two steps forward and stepped into the yard, making everyone around him a little nervous.

There was a snap.

Jin Tiannan suddenly bent his knees, knelt on the ground, and said in pain:

"Master Xie, I was blind and did not recognize a great man. I offended you and Xingyu Escort Agency. I hope you will forgive me!"

There was silence all around.

Although Xie Wenxuan told him that Xie Yuan was generous, Jin Tiannan thought about it and decided not to gamble his life's foundation and his entire family.

Xie Yuan's status is completely different from his. If he is really dissatisfied, Jinmen will be doomed.

Although Jin Tiannan is a master, he has not yet reached the level of a high-level master who is invincible.

He dominated Luoyang City not by his bravery but by his skill.

Xie Yuan was also a little stunned, and then he heard Jin Tiannan said earnestly:

"In order to make amends to Patriarch Xie, I have a treasure to offer as a gift." (End of this chapter)
