My cells devour all worlds.

Qingli decided to stop thinking about it and changed the subject, "Young Master, do you think the Myriad Laws Asura will really come?"

Their trip to Qingzhou was specifically for the sake of the Myriad Laws Asura.

Their mission was already completed, so there was no need for them to come.

They came here to catch the other party as soon as possible.

Hmph, before she left, she specifically learned a couple of techniques from Old Man Liu, who was in charge of torture and interrogation in the building.

We're just waiting to use it on the other person.

"Given his style of doing things, it's impossible that he wouldn't come to see the Xuan Shui True Scripture after hearing about it."

Ye Xinglan was actually a little unsure.

The Myriad Laws Asura is too mysterious.

Since noticing this person, she has doubled the number of spies in Qingzhou.

Aside from the fact that the other party likes to wear a Shura mask, is ten feet tall, and has used certain martial arts techniques, there's nothing else to mention.

No other useful information could be found.

It was as if this person had appeared out of nowhere.

Its ten-foot height was a distinctive and conspicuous feature, yet no one could be found.

Ye Xinglan suspected that the ten-foot height was fake, and that the other party was likely skilled in disguise or had some kind of bone-shrinking technique.

This explains why the other party is so difficult to find.

Unfortunately, no matter how well you hide, as long as you dare to covet the Xuan Shui True Scripture, you will eventually be exposed.

If the news that the Canglang Gang might possess the Xuan Shui Manual were to be revealed, it would surely shake the entire martial arts world.

At that time, probably half of the martial arts world will come to try their luck.

This is the allure of the number one martial arts skill in the martial arts world.

No one in the martial arts world could refuse.

Ye Xinglan didn't believe that Wanfa Xiuluo, who collected martial arts techniques everywhere, wouldn't be tempted.

Judging from the situation that day, the other party was in a similar situation to her, both stuck at the last step, so how could they possibly be willing to give up?

Collecting various martial arts techniques was probably out of necessity, a way to find a new path.

This is arguably the best opportunity yet.

Suddenly, the image of the eyes beneath the mask flashed into Ye Xinglan's mind, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.

Wanfa Shura, who exactly are you?

……

Two days later.

Changfeng Escort Agency.

"Tap tap..."

The sound of horses' hooves drifted from afar.

At the main entrance of the security escort agency, several escorts immediately stood up, tiptoed, and looked up.

A line of more than ten horses came galloping in, raising dust.

Leading the way was a magnificent white horse, upon which sat a handsome young man.

"It's the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) back!"

Several porters shouted loudly.

One of them hurriedly ran to the backyard to report to the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort).

The others made way and let him in.

They only surrounded Shen Qingshu and the others after they entered the courtyard and stopped.

"Young Master Escort!"

"Chief镖头 Dong!"

"Just leave the things to us."

Shen Qingshu nodded, dismounted, and asked, "Where is my father?"

One of the escorts replied, "Xiao Liu has already gone to find the chief镖头 (chief镖头 is a term used in Chinese镖师, meaning head镖师) and he should know you're back soon."

"Okay, same old rules."

Shen Qingshu handed the reins to the man.

Lu Sheng also handed the two large packages on horseback to a porter who looked somewhat familiar, saying, "Take these two things to my room."

"Yes, Young Master Lu." The porter chuckled, took the things, and agreed.

Not long after.

Shen Tianxiong and Madam Lu came to the front yard upon hearing the noise.

"Chief镖头!"

"lady!"

"Father, Mother!"

Shen Qingshu quickly went to greet him.

"Qing'er."

Madam Lu's eyes were filled with tears as she gently squeezed Shen Qingshu's body with her hands. "I heard you were injured. Where are you? Let your mother see you."

Shen Qingshu was both amused and exasperated. "Mother, I'm fine. It's just a small scratch, and it's already healed."

As he spoke, he jumped up and down twice, waving his arms. "Look!"

Shen Tianxiong, who had remained silent, simply patted Shen Qingshu and Lu Sheng on the shoulders, "How are things? Are you two getting used to it?"

Shen Qingshu then realized that he had forgotten to mention the matter of Qingyun Prefecture.

He disregarded everything else, glanced at Dong He, and said, "Father, Mother, let's not talk about this now. I have urgent news to report to Chief Escort Dong."

Noticing Shen Qingshu's tone, Shen Tianxiong's expression also turned serious. "Let's go to the main hall to talk."

After saying that, the group walked through the front yard and into the main hall.

Shen Tianxiong then asked, "Did something happen on the way to escort the goods?"

Shen Qingshu took out the box from the bundle on his back, and Dong He recounted the events that had occurred in Qingyun Prefecture once again.

"...At the time, I was afraid of being misunderstood, so I didn't dare to stay any longer and led my men out of Qingyun Mansion."

Shen Tianxiong's brows furrowed into a deep frown. "Such a thing has happened."

He looked at the wooden box in Shen Qingshu's hand. "Has it been opened?"

"No, I'm afraid something might go wrong."

Shen Qingshu shook his head, then couldn't help but ask, "Father, was the Canglang Gang really wiped out?"

Although he had heard it more than once on the way, Shen Qingshu still found it hard to believe.

Shen Tianxiong's expression was solemn: "Indeed, that day, not only the Canglang Gang, but even our Changfeng Escort Agency was surrounded by government troops, and no one was allowed to go out."

He paced back and forth a couple of times, still unable to figure out what the Canglang Gang was planning.

Moreover, now that the Canglang Gang has been wiped out, it's unlikely that this matter will be resolved.

Fortunately, Shen Qingshu and the others were unharmed.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Tianxiong stopped and said, "You did the right thing. Give me the box first, and I'll go talk to Brother Wenyuan. It shouldn't be a problem."

It's a bit strange, but now the entire Canglang Gang is gone.

Moreover, even if someone from the Canglang Gang manages to escape, they are just a handful of people and can't cause any real trouble.

Having taken a moment's thought into it, Shen Tianxiong stopped paying attention.

Shen Tianxiong carefully put the box away, his expression immediately turning serious. His gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Shen Qingshu. "I heard... Qingshu, you killed that lecherous thief Liu Wuzong on the way?"

"Father, even you know?"

Shen Qingshu scratched his head sheepishly.

Just as he was about to accept the praise, Shen Tianxiong sneered, "Nonsense! When did your father ever teach you to claim credit for others' achievements! With your skills, how could you possibly defeat Liu Wuzong?"

As he spoke, Shen Tianxiong glared at Dong He again, "Hey Dong, how could you let those two mess around and steal your credit?"

"Tell me, whose idea was it? Was it Qing Shu, or Sheng'er?"

Chief镖头 Dong looked utterly bewildered. "Chief镖头, I..."

He wanted to claim credit for it, but that wasn't the case.

Dong He was about to explain when Shen Qingshu stammered out a sentence:

"...Father, in your heart, am I... so worthless?"

As Shen Qingshu spoke, his eyes reddened and his voice became increasingly hoarse.

He could no longer bear it, and after saying that, he suddenly turned around and rushed out of the hall.

"What? Qing'er just got back, why are you bringing this up now!"

Madam Lu gave Shen Tianxiong a reproachful look and quickly followed after him.

At this moment, Dong He finally had a chance to speak. "Chief镖头, Liu Wuzong was indeed killed by the Young镖头. Not only me, but also Young Master Lu and the other镖师 and镖子手 can testify to this."

That night…

Dong He recounted what he had heard from the other members of the gang that night.

When the news gets out, they certainly can't reveal those details.

After all, that's not something to be proud of.

"this……"

After listening, Shen Tianxiong fell silent. He glanced in the direction Shen Qingshu had left, took a step forward subconsciously, and then withdrew.

Seeing Lu Sheng watching the scene with amusement, he couldn't help but glare at him. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"..."

How can you blame me for this?

Lu Sheng was speechless.

But then he felt a heavy piece of silver in his hand.

He could only hear a voice in his ear, "Sheng'er, go and talk to Qing Shu for your uncle, just say... sigh, your uncle was wrong..."

Lu Sheng grinned, "Alright."
