Wu Yuan placed her hand on his arm and said calmly, "There's no need for everyone to be so tense. There are only two of us, and we won't make enemies unnecessarily."

A hearty voice laughed a few times: "Hahaha, this young lady speaks frankly. Don't be afraid, everyone. I've met people from the Gu clan before. They have strict clan rules and won't use Gu on people for no reason."

The implication is that as long as you don't provoke them, everything will be fine.

"Thank you for speaking up for justice, sir." Wu Yuan's voice softened slightly.

"The most urgent task is to eradicate the Earth Spirit Sect, the scoundrels of the martial arts world. Their existence tarnishes the reputation of us, the people of the martial arts world."

Back to the main topic, everyone started discussing how to find the underground entrance.

But everyone seemed to be subtly distancing themselves from Wu Yuan and A Jin, creating a small vacuum around them.

Wu Yuan was happy to have some peace and quiet.

A group of people searched the same spot for a long time, clearing away all the weeds and even digging deeper, but still found no trace of the entrance to the underground palace.

The atmosphere became tense.

"There's nothing there. What underground palace? Is this just some nonsense some people are making up? Is it interesting to have a bunch of martial arts veterans bending over and digging a hole like this?"

"Senior Sister!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? You won't even let me speak?"

Wu Yuan was a little annoyed. If it weren't for them, she would have blown it up herself long ago. How could even the most well-hidden trap withstand a bomb?

"If you don't want to look, you can leave. You keep speaking up for the evil sect, and we don't even know where you came from," Wu Yuan retorted directly.

"You're asking for death!" The sound of a longsword being drawn echoed.

Wu Yuan's twin swords flew up and were caught by her hands. Many people's pupils shrank, proving that this person had profound internal strength and used it exquisitely.

The two women exchanged more than a dozen moves quickly, and the result was that the longsword was broken, Wu Yuan's twin blades were stained with blood, the woman opposite her had her weapon knocked away, and she herself was injured.

"Go ahead and do it, are you just going to watch me get bullied?" the woman shouted angrily to her fellow disciples.

*Slap!* A slap landed on the woman's face.

"Master!" The woman covered her face in disbelief.

"Shut up, don't embarrass yourself," an elderly woman with graying temples snapped.

She was older than him and was her disciple, yet she was crippled and injured by an unknown nobody in just a dozen moves. It was utterly humiliating.

Wu Yuan sneered. What if her apprentice won? She would only come out to scold him if he lost, and then say he deserved it?

Ah Jin twirled her fingers, making no move. If Ah Ning were injured, this woman and the sect behind her would both die.

"This female warrior's moves are exquisite, and her twin swords are superb. Forgive my poor eyesight, but may I ask who her master is?"

Wu Yuan casually let A Jin help her wipe the blood off the knife: "Sorry, Master forbade me to say that."

When you're out and about, you create your own identity. You can fabricate a reclusive master as your mentor to elevate your own status.

"No wonder I've never seen such a move in all my years of wandering the martial world. But your lightness skill..."

"Oh, my master didn't teach me light-body skills, but he thought I was suitable, so I've been practicing them ever since." He answered the question politely, but he didn't tell the truth at all.

"Your teacher is humble and modest."

Wu Yuan nodded slightly but didn't reply, thinking he was uncultured and his praise was inappropriate.

The group searching for the entrance to the underground palace discussed for a while: "Fuhe Manor is nearby. Manor Owner Hao is getting married soon, and some distinguished guests have already arrived. Why don't we invite a few seniors to take a look?"

Wu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Getting married? This old geezer is getting married again, and with such a grand ceremony. This is the third time. Is he trying to collect gifts under the guise of marriage?

"Very well." An old man sent his disciple to invite the person.

The younger ones gossiped, "I remember this Master Hao got married a few years ago?"

"He was married, but he divorced his first wife to marry her. However, it is said that the lady ran away not long after she entered the household."

"They ran away? Why?"

"Who knows? This old man and young woman, hehehe." He laughed rather lewdly.

"I heard he found someone a few years ago. This wife isn't a newcomer. She's already had a child, but she's sickly and has bone and joint problems, so she can't practice martial arts. This time, we took the opportunity to invite the renowned physician Wenren to come and take a look."

"Is this Master Hao almost fifty?"

"It should be."

"Don't talk about Master Hao like that. I heard the other day that he's still looking for that missing lady. He's quite a loyal and affectionate person."

Wu Yuan's hands were itching. Loyal and righteous? Perhaps it was Zheng Qingqing who was looking for her? Her son was sick, and she wanted to find a blood relative to prolong his life.

However, how did she know that Wu Yuan definitely had a child? When the original owner was imprisoned, she spent less than a day being intimate with Hao Qianyu, otherwise her post-coital contraceptive would not have been effective.

Reborn?

Foresight?

An hour later, Hao Qianyu arrived at the scene with a group of people. When passing by Wu Yuan, he did not stop at all and directly greeted the acquaintances present with smiles.

Wenren Ming spotted the two people wearing veils at a glance and smiled knowingly.

Wu Yuan nodded slightly without saying anything.

At the beginning of the day, he followed behind his master, looking at him again and again, as if trying to confirm something.

Wu Yuan ignored him.

It's getting lively! Ex-husband, ex-ex, ex and current partner, all mixed together. Wu Yuan's lips curled up behind the veil, revealing a strange excitement.

Ah Jin was extremely sensitive to her emotions, so she leaned closer and whispered, "Do you know that person?"

He asked about Wenren Ming, because she had greeted him.

"We know each other; we used to travel together for a while." Wu Yuan deliberately lowered her voice.

"Will we still walk together in the future?" His voice was a little tense. He didn't care who she had walked with before, as long as it was only him from now on.

"No." The tone was certain.

Ah Jin moved closer, her posture showing dependence.

Those who came out of Fuhe Manor were quite capable. One of the unassuming middle-aged men knew some of the arts of divination and, after studying them for a long time, finally found the checkpoint the next morning.

Boom!

Whoosh whoosh!

First came the loud bang of the stone gate opening, followed by the sound of countless arrows being shot out. None of the people present were novice martial artists, and they all managed to dodge the first wave of arrows.

Wu Yuan nimbly dodged the sneak attack, and A Jin flashed forward, kicking the foul-mouthed middle-aged woman away. She raised one hand, as if dust had entered her body.

The woman's master leaped forward to take her precious apprentice and withdrew from the crowd. Many people had seen her apprentice's actions. She had tried to scheme against the other woman, but her skills were inferior. Even if she wanted to help her get revenge, she was in the wrong in public and could only hold back for now and deal with the matter slowly.

Behind the crowd, Wenren Ming did not make a move, but instead stood on the outer perimeter with a young girl and two subordinates.

"Dr. Wenren, please take a look at my apprentice."
