"Let's go! We should set off!"

After packing up the martial arts manuals in the Langhuan Jade Cave, which occupied more than half of the two-square-meter storage space, Lu Ming turned to look at Wang Yuyan, who was diligently practicing the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) not far away, and said coldly.

"snort!"

Wang Yuyan snorted coldly and went back to her room to pack her luggage.

It must be said that Wang Yuyan's comprehension is indeed amazing. In just one month, she mastered the first four diagrams of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, and also successfully entered the Lingbo Steps. She has some internal strength in her body and is no longer as weak and frail as before.

However, she is still naive and love-struck. It can only be said that Li Qingluo has protected her too well, but it doesn't matter. Lu Ming believes that he can make her face reality.

"Our first destination is Wuliang Mountain in Dali. You need to get there alone and cannot seek help from Mantuo Manor. I will be watching you from the shadows, otherwise you can expect to be the corpse of those old women! Of course, any other method is up to you."

In Suzhou, Lu Ming gave Wang Yuyan a few instructions, handed her a map, and then disappeared into the crowd in a few flashes. Wang Yuyan scanned the area several times but couldn't find Lu Ming.

"That wretched guy is finally gone. It's just Wuliang Mountain in Dali! I refuse to believe I can't get there. Maybe I'll even run into my cousin!"

Wang Yuyan patted her proud chest lightly, her expression visibly relaxed. She looked at the map and found that it wasn't too far, so she figured it wouldn't be a big problem. After quickly confirming the direction, she rented a carriage and set off.

As soon as the carriage left the carriage workshop, seven or eight menacing-looking men emerged from a nearby alley. The leader was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, who sneered as he watched the carriage leave.

"Boss, judging from her appearance, she's probably a naive young lady from a wealthy family. She doesn't even understand the principle of not flaunting wealth. With looks and figure like that, if she were sold to a brokerage, she'd be worth at least a thousand taels of silver. And there are at least a thousand taels of silver notes in that package. This is a big fish; we're going to make a fortune!"

"Of course I know that, but I'd rather taste this beauty. I've never tasted such a beautiful woman in my entire life," Scarface said.

"Boss, can we have some soup?!"

"Don't worry, as long as I have something to eat, you'll have plenty of soup too!"

"Thanks, boss!"

These people immediately showed excitement and hurriedly ran back to the alley. Before long, the eight of them rode their horses and chased after Wang Yuyan in the direction she had left.

"That girl is a pity, being targeted by Scarface!"

The surrounding people shook their heads, looking regretful, but no one dared to stop them.

"Fairy Sister, witness the wickedness of the human heart! Hehehe!"

On the rooftop, Lu Ming, having taken a swig of wine, quietly watched everything unfold. A strange smile crept onto his lips. He used his Lingbo Weibu technique, his figure moving with lightning speed as he chased after them. With his current cultivation level, it was incredibly easy for him to outrun a horse.

He deliberately let Wang Yuyan carry so much money alone. Money can be tempting, and having so much money on a young girl who is inexperienced in the ways of the world and doesn't know much about martial arts will definitely tempt someone to make a move.

Moreover, Wang Yuyan inherited Li Qiushui's beauty; both her appearance and figure were perfect, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was stunningly beautiful. Such a beauty is a resource in itself.

The human trafficking situation in ancient times was far darker than it is today. Brothels, wealthy merchants, and aristocratic families were all involved in this business. They didn't care where people came from; once they were in their hands, they were theirs to be disposed of as they pleased.

Therefore, these people will not let Wang Yuyan go.

Outside Suzhou, Wang Yuyan peered out through the carriage curtain, her eyes filled with excitement.

She had only left Mantuo Manor a handful of times since she was a child, and each time it was just a quick visit. Now that she could freely enjoy the air outside, how could she not be excited?

"Being brought out by that wretched guy isn't all bad! At least we can enjoy the scenery outside."

"Tap tap tap!"

Just then, the heavy sound of horses' hooves came from behind, growing ever closer.

Wang Yuyan's expression remained unchanged, naively believing that these people were just passing by and had urgent business.

The coachman turned his head and glanced at the newcomer. His face turned deathly pale. He pulled on the reins to slow the carriage down, and then the carriage sped off to the side without looking back.

"Hey! Driver, why did you run away?!... "

Wang Yuyan's voice grew softer and softer as she realized that the group behind her might be targeting her. Her face turned pale, and she looked terrified.

She tried to rush out of the carriage to take control, but it was too late. The group of people had completely surrounded the carriage and were shouting, "Stop the carriage!"

At the same time, the scarred man at the head spurred his horse and quickly came to the carriage. With a powerful swing of his broadsword, he cut the reins that were tethering the horse.

"Bang!"

The carriage landed with a dull thud, and Wang Yuyan was thrown out of the carriage by the inertia, crashing heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the carriage was not traveling fast, and she only suffered a minor scrape on her leg and was not seriously injured.

"Young lady, where are you thinking of going?"

"Hahaha!"

Before Wang Yuyan could even cry out in pain, a deep, lewd laugh rang in her ears, followed by a series of laughs. Wang Yuyan looked up and saw eight vicious men staring at her with lewd grins on their faces.

"What do you think you're doing?! Let me tell you... my mother is Madam Wang. If you dare touch me, she'll turn you all into fertilizer!"

As Wang Yuyan backed away, she shouted a warning, hoping to use her status as a mother to make the others back down.

Upon hearing the name "Madam Wang," the lewd smiles on the faces of the seven henchmen froze, and a hint of fear appeared in their eyes. Clearly, having spent years mingling in Suzhou, they knew how formidable Madam Wang was.

"Madam Wang of Mantuo Manor?!"

The scarred man at the head of the group turned extremely gloomy, and his gaze towards Wang Yuyan was devoid of any emotion.

"These people are scared!" Wang Yuyan was secretly delighted, puffing out her chest and forcing a smile, "That's right, they're scared now!"

"Great! Great! Great! It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to me effortlessly."

The scarred man's voice grew colder, yet his tone was filled with excitement. His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a smile played on his lips.

"I was just looking for an opportunity to take revenge on that Madam Wang! My brother was just wandering around the streets of Suzhou when she had him captured and used as fertilizer by her people. I was just looking for an opportunity to get revenge on her! I never expected that her daughter would deliver herself to my doorstep. I can rape and kill you to comfort my brother's spirit in heaven."
