The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

Having grown up spoiled by her parents, she is actually quite willful.

But after being turned away time and time again, she came to a profound understanding that some things in this world are hard-won.

This might be her only chance in her life.

She would never forgive herself if she missed this opportunity, even if it meant her death.

"What you just said was true?" Jin Xueyi's voice trembled.

"I won't lie to you this time."

"Why do you want to help me?"

"Because of the things you said."

"Which?"

“When you talk about your parents’ words, you say that your parents have helped many people and that they taught you to do more good deeds. You say you don’t know what the point of doing so many good deeds is in the end.”

An Qingwan paused, her expression suddenly becoming very serious.

"Then I'll tell you now, it works. If it weren't for these words, if it weren't for what your parents did, I wouldn't be helping you."

"Of course, even without your involvement, I would still kill the Iron-Clad Ancestor, because he broke the law and brought trouble to Zhen'an County. But in that case, I won't tell you that you will die in self-pity."

Jin Xueyi stared blankly at An Qingwan.

From the first day she arrived in Zhen'an County, when she heard about An Qingwan's deeds from passersby, she disliked An Qingwan.

Because An Qingwan is perfect.

She has a gentle and unpretentious personality and never puts on airs.

He is highly skilled and possesses extraordinary swordsmanship at a young age.

With a chivalrous heart, he would risk going deep into the den of thieves for the sake of complete strangers.

In Jin Xueyi's eyes, An Qingwan was as perfect as the "heroes" she had previously sought to meet, so she disliked her.

But now, she realizes that An Qingwan is different from those "heroes".

The imperfections in her eyes make An Qingwan look less like a celestial being floating in the sky and more like a real person.

"Father! Mother!"

Before she knew it, Jin Xueyi was already in tears.

She recalled all the things from the past, and it became so difficult for her to breathe.

An Qingwan bent down and untied the chains binding Jin Xueyi.

"Although you should have guessed it long ago, I still want to state it again: your family's 'Eight Directions of Qimen Saber' is not in my possession. I am not interested in these martial arts manuals. Even if I were interested, it would be useless to me because I am blind."

The chains were untied one by one.

Jin Xueyi wiped her eyes, knelt down on the bed, and kowtowed three times.

"What a great kindness, I will never forget it!"

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her right hand, using her fingers as a sword, and viciously stabbed it into her right eye.

However, the finger stopped half an inch away from the eye.

An Qingwan reacted quickly, pinching her fingers with her toes in an instant, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move them.

"What are you doing?"

Jin Xueyi smiled bitterly, "I ambushed and plotted against you before, but you still helped me without holding a grudge. I have no way to repay you now, so I can only apologize to you with this right eye."

An Qingwan said coldly, "I misjudged you. You can't be a bad person, not because your parents raised you well, but because you're stupid!"

Jin Xueyi was at a loss when she was suddenly scolded.

An Qingwan said, "If you're blind, how can you be my eyes?"

"When your eyes?"

"To kill the Iron-Clad Ancestor, I must leave Zhen'an County. If no one is there to act as my eyes and lead the way, how can I leave Zhen'an County to find the Iron-Clad Ancestor? Do you perhaps want that Uncle Li to lead the way for me?"

"I……"

Jin Xueyi lowered her head in shame.

An Qingwan snapped, "What do you mean, 'what do you mean,' are you going to accept it or not?"

Jin Xueyi quickly looked up: "I'm willing, I'm willing to be your eyes!"

“That’s right. Get up. There’s no time to lose. Let’s go back to Zhen’an County now, pack our bags, and then set off immediately to find the Iron-Clad Ancestor.”

An Qing loosened her toes.

She quickly put on her shoes and socks.

A short while later, the two emerged from the cellar one after the other. Inside the hotel, Uncle Li was still awake, wiping the table in a corner.

An Qingwan remained calm and composed.

She knew that Uncle Li was faking it. When Jin Xueyi was begging for death, Uncle Li had already been eavesdropping behind the door, but she didn't point it out, afraid that the two of them would feel awkward.

"Uncle Li, you're still awake?"

Jin Xueyi called out softly.

"Oh, it's Miss. What brings you out here? And this young lady too."

Li Bo looked slightly flustered.

Jin Xueyi didn't notice anything amiss: "This young lady and I have cleared up the misunderstanding. I'm going on a long trip, probably for a month or two. Uncle Li, you..."

Li Bo said, "Miss has grown up. Since you have made your decision, then go ahead. It's just a pity that I am too old to help you much."

Jin Xueyi suddenly choked up: "Uncle Li, you have already helped me so much."

Uncle Li said, "Go, go, Miss, you have things to do."

Jin Xueyi hummed in agreement.

She didn't want to say too much, afraid that Uncle Li would worry if he knew that she was going to find the Iron-Clad Ancestor.

"Young Miss."

Uncle Li stood at the hotel entrance and let out a long sigh.

The sighs faded away in the wind.

As the mountain path twisted and turned, Jin Xueyi had already carried An Qingwan quite a distance away.

This was a busy night for An Qingwan.

In the first half of the night, she killed the Poison Taoist, opened the treasure chest and obtained the "Mysterious Netherworld Divine Palm", and sent all the people captured by the Poison Taoist back home.

In the middle of the night, she taught Jin Xueyi a lesson, and then Jin Xueyi carried her back to Shili Pavilion. The two of them worked together to drag the body of the Poison Taoist back to Zhen'an County.

Because it was night, Zhen'an County had already closed its gates. Fortunately, she had some basic skills in light-body techniques, so it wasn't difficult for her to lead people to scale the two-zhang-high city wall.

But after all that fuss, it was already past dawn.

Dawn was breaking.

Own home.

An Qingwan walked to Jin Xueyi's side.

"Hey, the hungriest person, here you go."

"what?"

Jin Xueyi subconsciously reached out her hand, only to find a steaming hot pancake lying in her hand.

"No, no, I'm not hungry."

"You're not hungry yet, you've been craving food all the way. Eat up, how can we travel if you don't eat your fill?" An Qingwan waved her hand. "I can't see, so I can only cook simple meals. Just make do with what you have."

Jin Xueyi clenched the pancake in her hand.

a long time.

"Then I'll cook for you from now on?"

"Alright."

Nine elderly, weak, sick and disabled

"Miss An hasn't returned all night, could something have happened to her?"

"What nonsense! Even if something happens to you, Lady An will never be in trouble. You brat, you haven't seen Lady An's strength, have you? Let alone this Poison Taoist, even the Great Compassionate Hand who chases after the Poison Taoist is no match for Lady An."

At the entrance of Chen Xu's house, an older constable was reprimanding a newly arrived young man.

The young constable stared wide-eyed: "Is Lady An really that powerful? I thought it was just that ordinary people didn't understand and were exaggerating."

"You know? You know nothing! Those self-proclaimed heroes of the martial world, when have they ever dared to accept a challenge? They're afraid that if they make a move, they'll reveal their weakness and cause their fabricated myths to crumble. But Lady An is different. Her reputation is earned through countless fierce battles over the past two and a half years. You, you should learn from her. You still have a long way to go."

The older constable shook his head and walked to the door, opening the tightly locked gate.

The moment the scene in the courtyard was revealed, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Heroine An?!"

The young constables, along with Lin Dianshi and others, all gathered around.

But beneath the verdant pomegranate tree stood a pretty young girl in a white dress.

Beside the girl's feet lay four corpses, neatly arranged.

"They are the murderers. It's a pity that Chen Xu and his grandson will never come back."

An Qingwan looked sorrowful. She rarely showed such an expression, but the passing of someone familiar inevitably brought her sadness.

"hiss--"

The young constable gasped in shock.

Lin Dianshi said, "Qingwan, you have done enough. If it weren't for you, who knows how many more disasters would have occurred in the county."

Everyone agreed.

An Qingwan didn't say much, but joined everyone in paying respects to Chen Xu and his grandson.

After the worship ceremony ended, she called Lin Dianshi aside.

"Uncle Lin, I need to go on a long trip."

Lin Dianshi exclaimed in surprise, "So sudden?"

An Qingwan said, "I have no choice but to leave."

Lin Dianshi was deeply puzzled: "Why?"

An Qingwan then recounted to Lin Dianshi all the grievances she had heard about the previous day.

"A wealthy merchant was brutally murdered because of a family secret manual? Now that you mention it, I do recall that three months ago, Mr. Su, the richest man in Tanzhou, was found dead in his bedroom with his wife. Judging from their injuries, the assailant must have been a martial arts practitioner. Moreover, Mr. Su happened to have an only daughter who was away at the time and thus escaped the massacre. You're talking about their family."

So Jin Xueyi's original surname was Su?

An Qingwan didn't dwell on it.

She nodded and continued, "It is widely rumored in the martial arts world that the 'Eight Directions Blade of Qimen' is in Wu Qingcheng's hands, and I have captured Wu Qingcheng. People in the martial arts world will surely think that the 'Eight Directions Blade of Qimen' has fallen into my hands. Even if I deny it, they will not believe me."

"Therefore, I can no longer stay in Zhen'an County. If I stay here, there will inevitably be more and more people like the Poison Taoist coming to Zhen'an County to cause trouble."

“I’m not afraid, but Zhen’an County is a small place and can’t withstand their antics.”

"My purpose in going out this time is threefold: first, to lure these people away; second, to avenge Mr. Su's family, since I promised Jin Xueyi; and third, to find the 'Eight Directions of Qimen Blade,' so that those martial arts figures will not bother me."

Lin Dianshi sighed.

He had no children of his own, so he always treated An Qingwan as his own daughter. Now that his daughter was involved in this trouble and was about to travel far away, how could he not worry?

"You've really had a hard time, Qingwan."

An Qingwan smiled and said, "It's not so much hardship as it is. Actually, I've wanted to go out and see the world for a long time. I've never left Zhen'an County in my entire life. Now that I have 'eyes,' it's a good time to go out and see the world, to see if there is still peace in this world."

Lin Dianshi shook his head and smiled wryly: "I really don't know where you get such an open-minded attitude at such a young age. I'm an old man and I'm far inferior to you."
