A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 287 Fan Yuanhai's Pursuit
The next day, the sky was bright!
In Xiangu County, the street at the east gate of the city was blocked by four majestic horse-drawn carriages.

On the roof of these four carriages, there was a black flag with a gold-threaded edge and a bear embroidered in the middle. This was the flag of the prefecture-level government office. In other words, these carriages were the regulated official carriages of the Yuanyang Prefecture government office!

These official cars had already entered the city at dusk yesterday!

This is the sect's rule. All registered disciples from all over the country are required to ride in official vehicles! They are allocated according to the number of people!
Every official car has two drivers, wearing official uniforms and black boots, with swords on their waists, looking quite majestic and powerful!
At this time, in addition to the four official cars parked there, there were also horse-drawn carriages carrying luggage and people seeing them off. It was noisy and crowded...

Next to the horse-drawn carriages of each family, servants were taking down boxes and crates and putting them on the official carriages, making a lot of noise and pushing each other.

Duan Rong was naturally not among the noisy and pushing crowd. He didn't bring any luggage with him, just a bag on his back.

Liulu was lent to him by Ruan Fengshan, and it was not given to him as a gift. None of the things inside it belonged to him.

However, among the crowd of people who came to see him off, Duan Rong was firmly grasped by Ximen Yong.

Ximen Yong's eyes welled up with tears, and he murmured, "My dear nephew, I am so happy that you can become a registered disciple!"

Ximen Yong grabbed Duan Rong with one hand and called Ximen Kankan to come over.

Ximen Kankan was competing with Jiang Qingyu for a place to put luggage on an official car. When he heard his father calling him, he ran back while cursing Jiang Qingyu.

Ximen Kankan ran to his father.

Ximen Yong was seen holding Ximen Kankan with one hand and Duan Rong with the other, and admonishing them, "Kankan, when you are away from home, don't act on your own. Consult your elder brother Duan more often! Remember, your elder brother Duan is not an outsider!"

Ximen Kankan looked at Duan Rong with a strange look. He really didn't understand why his father trusted Duan Rong so much?

Ximen Yong looked at Duan Rong and said, "My dear nephew, Kankan has not experienced much. Please help me keep an eye on him and don't let him get into trouble."

Duan Rong said, "Uncle, don't worry! Kankan is not only talented in martial arts, but also smart. He has a plan in mind and won't cause any trouble. If anything really happens, I will help you."

Ximen Yong said: "My dear nephew, I feel much more at ease now that you have said this!"

Not far behind Duan Rong, Xiao Yu and Zhu Xiaoqi were also saying goodbye.

In the morning, Xiao Yu kowtowed to his father in the main hall, which was a farewell. Xiao Zongting was afraid that he would see Xiao Yu off and burst into tears, so he resisted the urge to come and see her off.

Xiao Yu was usually simple and only brought a very small suitcase, so he didn't have to compete with Shen Mizhi, Xia Shuangshuang and others for space on the official car for his luggage.

Xiao Yu and Zhu Xiaoqi held hands and wiped their tears while talking. Zhu Xiaoqi cried with tears in her eyes...

Lu Qingzhu stood at the edge of the crowd, looking calm, but Ah Mo beside her had already become impatient. "Miss, look at these people, they are so slow."

Lu Qingzhu said: "Changliu Mountain is thousands of miles away. After this farewell, it won't be known when we will meet again. It is human nature to shed tears when we say goodbye."

As Lu Qingzhu spoke, she sighed softly. She also missed home and her grandfather.

This time she traveled thousands of miles and saw a lot of worldly things. Along the way, she was really not interested. These things were really not as good as practicing in the mountains, and even more so to her character!
Office Manager Qin was also standing at the edge of the crowd. He looked from afar at Shen Yanliu, who was talking to Shen Mizhi beside the carriage, with a somewhat gloomy expression.

During the three years that Shen Yanliu had been in Xiangu County, he had been serving with all his heart and soul, welcoming and seeing off guests, and taking care of all household and official affairs with all his heart. He originally thought that Shen Yanliu would take him with her when she was promoted, but unexpectedly, Shen Yanliu had no such intention at all.

After Shen Yanliu saw Shen Mizhi off, he also had to go to Ruyang Prefecture to take up his post. Although Qin Shuban felt resentful, he did not dare not come to see him off.

Firstly, Shen Yanliu was promoted and had to leave Xiangu County, and secondly, the newly registered disciples had to go far away to the sect. All the major forces and prominent figures in Xiangu County came to see him off.

Fan Yuanhai looked around in the crowd for a long time, then slowly walked to Qin Shuban and said, "Qin Shuban, why didn't the police chief come? Was he sent out on business again?"

"This... Qin Shuban hesitated for a moment, thinking about Fan Yuanhai's identity as the sect's imperial envoy, and said, "Captain Jie was killed! The body was found in the wild lake behind the City God Temple the morning before yesterday!"

"What? Killed?"

Fan Yuanhai's scalp suddenly felt numb and his whole body stiffened.

He had been to Xiangu County twice, and Xie Daohan was his only friend here. Moreover, the day before the Elite Selection Meeting, the two of them were drinking together, and only ten days later, Xie Daohan was dead!
Xie Daohan was a powerful Qi realm expert, and the chief constable in charge of the criminal justice system of a county, but he was killed?
This Xiangu County is really a place with a small temple but powerful evil spirits!
Here, Ximen Yong was talking to Ximen Kankan and Duan Rong. Not far behind them, a servant from Ximen Mansion who was moving boxes suddenly stumbled and a box fell beside the carriage with a clang. The picture albums in the box rolled all over the floor.

When Ximen Kankan heard the voice, he suddenly turned around. When he saw the picture albums all over the floor, his face suddenly changed. He immediately pulled his father's hand away and ran to the carriage. While cursing the servant, he picked up the picture albums on the floor and put them into the box.

All of these are erotic paintings from his collection. He specially selected a few exquisite ones and placed them in this box.

Fortunately, these paintings were rolled up and tied tightly, so even if they fell out of the box, none of them were unfolded. Moreover, he had treated these paintings with the potion, so even if they were unfolded, they were just a mass of ink stains, and people could not tell what was wrong.

Ximen Kankan didn't notice that the moment the box fell to the ground, a scroll painting rolled from under a carriage and stopped right next to a pair of embroidered shoes with wintersweets embroidered on them.

Xia Shuangshuang and his father Xia Zhongyang were standing beside their own carriage, watching the servants and errand boys load the luggage into the official carriage while saying their parting words.

Xia Shuangshuang suddenly found a painting rolling at her feet. She thought it fell from her box. She usually liked these things. This time when she went to the sect, she also brought a few paintings she liked, including the "Dancing with Spears in Heaven and Earth" painted by Duan Rong for her.

Xia Shuangshuang picked up the painting at her feet and frowned slightly, because the box containing the painting had just been loaded into the official car, and she was wondering where the painting had fallen from.

With doubts, Xia Shuangshuang untied the string and opened the painting.

In the painting, there is a naked woman, holding a veil in both hands, revealing her graceful figure. Next to her beautiful belly button, there is a strangely shaped red birthmark with blurred edges.

He had treated all the pornographic images in Ximen Kankan's collection with the concealing potion.

Just a few hours before departure, he had just seen this erotic painting of Xia Shuangshuang.

The journey would take quite a long time. When Ximen Kankan thought of this, he wanted to feast his eyes and quench his thirst before leaving.

At this time, after he roasted her, the concealing potion had faded and had not yet reappeared. What was presented in the painting was the original appearance of the spring palace, that is, Xia Shuangshuang's body.

Not only Xia Shuangshuang but also his father Xia Zhongyang could see it clearly.

Xia Shuangshuang was so angry that her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking!

At this moment, Ximen Kankan shouted from not far behind his carriage, "Find another one for me! There's another one!"

He had selected eight erotic paintings in total, and now there were only seven left. Each of these eight paintings was a masterpiece, and if one was missing, it would be like the end of his life.

Xia Shuangshuang's hands were filled with internal energy, and they exploded, directly blasting the painting in her hands into pieces, which flew up in the wind! Her eyes were red, and she turned back suddenly, grabbed the spear in the carriage, pulled off the holster, and with a flash of cold light, she jumped through the gap between the carriages!
Ximen Kankan was hiding under a nearby carriage to look for a painting. As soon as he emerged from under the carriage, he suddenly saw a flash of cold light, and a silver spear pointed at his throat...

Duan Rong was chatting with Ximen Yong when he suddenly saw pieces of paper flying around next to a carriage behind him. Then he saw Xia Shuangshuang, with her skirt fluttering, and a long gun suddenly thrust out at Ximen Kankan, who had just emerged from under a carriage on the side.

Duan Rong's eyes jumped when the pieces of paper flew up. Seeing Xia Shuangshuang stabbing with his spear, he immediately leaped up and used his sheathed Minghong sword to block in front of Ximen Kankan.

Xia Shuangshuang's gun tip touched Duan Rong's sword blade. With a bang, the scabbard shattered into pieces, revealing the dark-colored Minghong sword inside.

Duan Rong's internal energy was just barely flowing out at this time, the blade of the knife tilted, and Xia Shuangshuang's gun tip tilted with it.

Ximen Kankan saw the opportunity and immediately jumped out of the carriage, stood behind Duan Rong, and shouted anxiously: "Shuangshuang, what are you doing?"

"I'll kill you, you little pervert!"

Xia Shuangshuang was so angry that his eyes turned red. He swept his spear and rushed towards Ximen Kankan again.

Ximen Kankan naturally saw Xia Shuangshuang's rage at a glance. He was at the great perfection realm and his lightness skills were also pretty good. As the saying goes, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. He immediately moved his body and dodged between the carriage boxes, avoiding the cold light of Xia Shuangshuang's spear!

As the wind blew, a piece of paper fell on Ximen Kankan's face. He dodged and took it in his hand. He saw a little finger as white as a scallion and covered with gauze in the paper.

Ximen Kankan's face instantly turned the color of liver. Seeing the corner of Rouyi on the paper, how could he not know what happened?

Ximen Yong, seeing Xia Shuangshuang holding a spear and chasing Ximen Kankan all over the field, immediately came to Xia Zhongyang's side and asked, "Brother Xia, what's going on?!"

Xia Zhongyang is the God of Wealth of Xiangu County. Ximen Yong has a very good relationship with him and they often interact with each other!
But at this moment, Xia Zhongyang's face turned pale, he snorted coldly, stared at Ximen Yong, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "They are all good sons you taught!?"

Ximen Yong was frightened by Xia Zhongyang's attitude. He suddenly saw two pieces of paper on the ground at his feet, so he reached out to pick them up. On one piece of paper was a belly button, and on the other piece of paper was a pair of eyes.

On Heihugang, Duan Rong had his face covered, but Ximen Yong recognized him just by his eyes. At this time, he naturally saw at a glance that those were Xia Shuangshuang's eyes on the paper.

It's not just that Ximen Yong has sharp eyesight, it's just that Duan Rong's painting looks too much like the real person, even the gentle glances in his eyes are quite similar.

Looking at the exposed belly button on the other piece of paper, and remembering the incident a few years ago when he beat Ximen Kankan to a pulp because of a pornographic painting, how could Ximen Yong not know what had happened?
After all, Ximen Kankan has achieved the great success realm, and his lightness skills are excellent. Although Xia Shuangshuang attacked him from all directions, Ximen Kankan was able to dodge with ease!
Seeing that Xia Shuangshuang had difficulty achieving success, Xia Zhongyang moved and was ready to take action!

At this moment, Duan Rong suddenly stood in front of Xia Zhongyang!

Seeing Duan Rong blocking him, Xia Zhongyang shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"

Xia Zhongyang was only at the Great Perfection stage! In terms of martial arts, he was no match for Duan Rong!

But Duan Rong had no intention of fighting him. He clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Xia! If you also fight, someone might die! Mr. Xia, do you really want to do this?"

Xia Zhongyang felt cold all over and calmed down instantly. He had been in the business world for many years and was naturally tactful and rational, but Xia Shuangshuang was the apple of his eye and he was too concerned about her. He was really furious just now!

Thinking about it now, Shuangshuang was obviously extremely angry. If he tried to stop Ximen Kankan at this moment, Shuangshuang might really stab Ximen Kankan to death in his anger.

How will this ending end?

In the field, Ximen Kankan was dodging, but he saw that every move of Xia Shuangshuang was a killing move, and the look she gave him was full of disgust and resentment. When he thought of his admiration for Xia Shuangshuang, Ximen Kankan's heart suddenly turned cold!
Ximen Kankan saw Xia Shuangshuang biting her lips again, and flashed out from the side of a carriage, stabbing at him with his gun.

Xia Shuangshuang's beautiful face flashed by, and the resolute murderous intent in her eyes hurt Ximen Kankan's heart.

Ximen Kankan suddenly stood up and yelled, "Shuangshuang! Kill me!"

Xia Shuangshuang leaped over and stood in front of Ximen Kankan. The tip of her spear instantly pressed against Ximen Kankan's throat and she said, "Do you think I dare not kill you?"

Ximen Kankan's face burned, and he shouted, "Shuangshuang, I admit that I love you! If you hate me, just kill me! Use my blood to cleanse my sin of blasphemy!"

No one on the field expected that Ximen Kankan would suddenly stop dodging, not even Xia Shuangshuang.

At this moment, the tip of Xia Shuangshuang's gun was already against Ximen Kankan's throat, and life and death depended on her decision!
Duan Rong's eyelids twitched wildly. He wanted to attack, but the distance was too far.

Ximen Yong and Xia Zhongyang both held their breath, fearing that Xia Shuangshuang would really stab Ximen Kankan to death.

"Okay!" Xia Shuangshuang's face turned pale, and she shouted with trembling lips, and then her shoulders shook.

Xia Zhongyang saw Xia Shuangshuang's shoulders shaking from a distance, and immediately shouted, "Shuangshuang! No!"

Xia Shuangshuang's eyes welled up with tears, and the tip of the gun stabbed!

Seeing that Ximen Kankan was about to die on the spot, at this moment, Zhu Qunxiang, who was standing behind Ximen Kankan, suddenly flashed and grabbed the red tassel on the gun head.

Zhu Qunxiang was a strong man in the Qi realm. He grabbed her, and the force of Xia Shuangshuang's stab was like a tide crashing into a mountain, rushing back!

Zhu Qunxiang said coldly: "Stop making trouble! Be careful not to miss the departure time!"

Xia Shuangshuang stabbed out with one shot, her eyes blurred by tears. At that moment, she really thought she had stabbed Ximen Kankan to death. After stabbing out with one shot, her whole body collapsed and she was about to fall to the ground!

Xia Zhongyang jumped out, leaped a few times, stood beside Xia Shuangshuang and supported her.

Xia Shuangshuang's tears rolled down. Looking at her father who was supporting her, she threw herself into Xia Zhongyang's arms and burst into tears!

While Xia Zhongyang was comforting Xia Shuangshuang, he stared at Ximen Kankan not far away with disgust.

Ximen Kankan had just recovered from the shock when he saw a faint inch-long blood line on his throat.

Ximen Yong also ran over. He hugged Ximen Kankan and said, "Kankan, are you okay?"

At that moment, Ximen Yong almost lost his soul! He thought that Kankan was really going to be stabbed to death. "Why are you so stupid?"

"father!"

Zhu Qunxiang threw Xia Shuangshuang's spear to the ground with a clang, and glared at Xia Shuangshuang and Xia Zhongyang, father and daughter, angrily. He had no idea what was going on. In his opinion, Xia Shuangshuang was just making trouble and delaying his departure.

Zhu Qunxiang shouted, "We'll set off in a quarter of an hour! Be quick! These little brats are such a nuisance!"
