With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

But now, he's being called an exiled prisoner to his face by a mere servant?

Zeng Guanhai suppressed his anger and carefully examined Bei Chenyan. He had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were sharp and he exuded a compelling aura.

He narrowed his eyes.

This person's background is absolutely extraordinary. Who is he?

"Sect Leader? May I ask which faction you belong to?"

"We are from the Wujian Pavilion, and this is our Pavilion Master! Zeng Guanhai, you are just an exiled criminal banished to Taigu Town, yet you send people to assassinate us. Do you think the Wujian Pavilion is easy to bully?" Wei Yang pointed at Zeng Guanhai and questioned him.

"The Infernal Affairs Bureau!" Upon hearing that they were from the Infernal Affairs Bureau, Zeng Guanhai seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."

One of his followers shouted, "A nobody little sect dares to yell at Master Zeng? They're practically courting death!"

Bei Chenyan raised his hand slightly. "Show them the things."

Wei Yang understood, kicked out, and an arm flew to Zeng Guanhai's feet.

"Zeng Guanhai, these are people from the Serpent Spirit Society. They say they are acting on your orders to capture me, the Pavilion Master. What is your explanation for this?" Bei Chenyan asked.

At that moment, a man hurried in and whispered a few words in Zeng Guanhai's ear.

Zeng Guanhai's expression changed slightly after hearing this.

He looked at Bei Chenyan, gritting his teeth, "The Wujian Pavilion, is it! I'll remember you."

"And then?" Bei Chenyan asked with a mocking expression.

Zeng Guanhai met his provocative gaze, clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, and veins bulging on his forehead; he was on the verge of exploding in rage.

But then he suddenly turned and left.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan exchanged a glance as they watched his departing figure.

They could tell that Zeng Guanhai had already decided to kill them, but they didn't know what the man had said to him before he suddenly left.

"Zeng Guanhai, the Serpent Spirit Society is utterly wicked. You colluded with the Serpent Spirit Society to try and kill this Pavilion Master. Our Wujian Pavilion will not let this go so easily," Bei Chenyan shouted at Zeng Guanhai's back.

But Zeng Guanhai didn't turn back. He mounted his horse, cracked his whip, and rode away, followed by the men he brought with him.

"Tch!" Pei Xing scoffed dismissively. "They came in all high and mighty, but now they're slinking away. What made them think they were so capable?"

Bei Chenyan stood up, took Nangong Wu's hand, and said, "Let's go back and rest."

Wei Yang suddenly walked out of the inn, grabbed the innkeeper who was kneeling there, threw him into the room, and said, "Go and wash the bloodstains in our room clean, or you'll regret it."

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper was terrified and got up to find someone.

Nothing happened that night.

The following day, the news of the Zeng family's residence being robbed and their warehouse being stolen the previous night caused a great stir in Taigu Town.

The people were talking amongst themselves that the Zeng family had made countless enemies and had been retaliated against; retribution had come.

Nangong Wu didn't get up until 9 AM.

After tidying up and leaving the room, I saw my father and Bei Chenyan sitting on the sofa in the living room, chatting and drinking tea.

"Get up." When Bei Chenyan saw her come out, he got up and went to the kitchen, bringing her a bowl of bird's nest porridge and a basket of steamed dumplings, which he then placed on the table.

"My father-in-law, the children, and I have already had breakfast. This is your portion."

"Where are Wei Yang and Sun Xunzhen? Have you sent them any food?" Nangong Wu sat down at the table. "Tell them not to go out, be careful of the muskets."

"Aiqi has already sent them out," Huo Jing said.

"Tomorrow is the tenth of the month, and everyone who's supposed to come should be here by now! How about we go for a walk later?" Bei Chenyan asked Nangong Wu.

Nangong Wu thought for a moment, "No, let's do it tonight."

"Alright, it's rare to have a free day, you should also get some rest," Bei Chenyan said.

After finishing her meal, Nangong Wu went with Beichen Yan to see the children.

That morning, they accompanied the children in their studies, and at noon they spent half an hour practicing martial arts with a few of them before having lunch at exactly 12 o'clock.

When it was time for her afternoon nap, Nangong Wu also fell asleep, and she slept until evening.

"Mommy, Daddy played games with us today." Nangong Xi ran over carrying a plush panda.

"Hmm, what games are you playing?" Nangong Wu asked, sitting her daughter on her lap.

"When we play bumper cars, Daddy doesn't know how to use the remote control, so he can't beat us." Nangong Wu looked up at her.

"You can only play games for half an hour," Nangong Wu instructed.

"We understand, Mother." Nangong Xi nodded.

"Mmm." Nangong Wu kissed her daughter's little face and stood up.

night.

After leaving the inn, Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan went to the Zeng residence to investigate, but found nothing. Then they wandered around Taigu Town for more than an hour.

Because the Zeng family's belongings were stolen last night, the entire Taigu Town was under martial law, with people patrolling everywhere carrying torches, but nothing unusual was found.

"It's almost midnight, let's go back and rest. Tomorrow is the tenth of the month, and the person who is meant to appear will definitely show up," Bei Chenyan said.

"it is good."

The two quietly left and returned to the inn.

The next day, which was also the tenth day of the month, Nangong Wu got up very early and took Beichen Yan out of the space.

Upon seeing them emerge from the inner room, Wei Yang, Adeline, and the other two quickly rose and bowed.

"Your Highness, Princess."

"Go and call Young Master Sun and Young Master Pei. We're going out for breakfast later," Nangong Wu said calmly.

"Yes."

Cao Li went out to call for help.

A little over fifteen minutes later, the group of seven left the Fulai Inn; it was just getting light.

The three guards' bags were temporarily placed in Nangong Wu's space.

When I went down to the first floor, there was still no one there. The door was wide open, and it was deserted. Even the shopkeeper was gone.

Bei Chenyan stepped out of the inn, looked around, and walked north. "This way."

After walking for a while, I saw a teahouse where many people were sitting and drinking morning tea.

"This will do!"

They were dressed plainly and entered without attracting attention. They chose a seat by the window, ordered a pot of good tea and some snacks.

More and more people are coming to have morning tea, and they all look like they're from the martial arts world.

"I have obtained reliable information that this treasure map is real. It is divided into five parts and is in the hands of five people. It is said that four parts have been collected, but one part has been lost, and it was the middle part."

Although the middle portion is missing, we can still roughly tell where it is. This morning, Grandpa Zeng led a group towards the mountains; we'll go after we finish eating.

"How did you find out about something so confidential?"

Two heads were huddled together, speaking in very low voices, but they could both hear each other.
