house are up to you."Yang Lin said with a smile.He could see that Li Yuyao had an extremely strong desire for control. She wanted to control everything and have everything in her grasp.Indeed, Li Yuh..."Purple-clothed girl! I just asked someone again, the woman you're looking for originally lived in Wangjiazhuang, but two days ago, something happened, and she left. It is said that she went to Pingyuan County!"

Yang Lin came over, it was just a fool.

Ziyì listened and slightly frowned. "Left"

“Yeah, she definitely left! Many people in our village saw her head to Pingyuan County.”

Yang Lin swore solemnly.

The other party stared intently into Yang Lin's eyes, as if trying to see something in them.

Yang Lin met his gaze without flinching.

However, Zi Yi glanced twice but sat back under the big tree: "I'll wait for two more days. If I don't see him by then, I'll go to Pingyuan County."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes again.

Yang Lin was speechless for a moment.

He also saw that the other party did not believe his words.

But we can't just leave her waiting like this, can we

Since Li Yuyao herself said that she has no friends, and she left her hometown and ended up here, then whoever comes to find her is most likely an enemy!

And this purple robe, is most likely here to hunt her down!

So, no matter what, he absolutely cannot let her get away with it!

"Purple-clothed girl, if you insist on waiting, then remain in that courtyard to rest."

"Look here, you're a young woman, out in the open daylight, standing at the entrance of our village. If word gets out, people will think we're bullying you here in Laoshan Village. That wouldn't be good for our reputation."

Besides, you look like you've traveled a long way and haven't had a good rest yet I've asked someone to prepare some clean bedding for you, and I'll also boil a pot of hot meat soup. You see, the ingredients I use for my soup are top-notch, guaranteed to be delicious. You'll surely love it.

Since you've come to our village, we should treat you as our guests. We can't let outsiders think that we in the mountains would abandon visitors at the village entrance.

Let's go, let's go.

Yang Lin said, coming up to pull people.

Zi Yi quietly swallowed.

Yang Lin's words truly moved her.

The journey has been long, days of sleeping under the stars and eating whatever she could find. Her stomach is still growling now, and if it weren't for her strong will, she would have collapsed by now! Even so, all she can do now is sit and breathe deeply to conserve her energy.

Thinking about the broth, whose flavor she couldn't quite place, Zi Yi finally nodded and dodged Yang Lin's hand, standing up on her own.

"Then, many thanks to you, sir."

Purple clothed person bows again.

Accompanied by Yang Lin to Liu's house to receive another residence as a gift, Yang Lin enthusiastically arranged everything.

"The beds are all new, the meat soup will be ready soon. The young lady should rest in her room for a while. I'll go urge them along."

Yang Lin said, closing the door and leaving.

As Qin Shuang stepped outside the door, she immediately handed him a large bronze padlock.

Yang Lin didn't hesitate, he directly locked the door!

Inside, the purple-clad woman heard the noise and rushed over at once.

"Young Master Yang, what do you mean by this"

Separating them by a wooden door, Zi Yi inquired.

"To protect the young lady!" Yang Lin shouted. "Don't worry, Purple-Cloaked Lady. We won't do anything to you. Just stay here at ease and someone will bring you food later!"

He planned to first control this woman of unknown origin, then bring Li Yuyao over to identify her, confirming whether she was friend or foe before deciding on a course of action.

However, to his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud “bang,” followed by a crashing sound, and the thick wooden door was directly kicked open from the inside! The two door panels crashed down with a thunderous roar!

In the next instant, the seemingly delicate girl in purple was already standing before Yang Lin with her feet on the fallen wooden door. Yang Lin gasped.

Is this the power that humans possess

"Are you underestimating me"

Zi Yi glared fiercely at Yang Lin, raising her hand and lunging at him.

"Protect Lin Ge!!"

Qin Shuang shouted and was the first to rush up.

The young guards on both sides also surged forward together.

Yang Lin then let out a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced. Thankfully, he had seen through the Purple-clothed girl's disguise as a martial artist earlier, so he had Qin Shuang lead the guard unit to stand by.

At this moment, seven or eight burly men rushed forward. Even if the other party was a master, so what Yang Lin sneered.

In the next instant, a smile froze on Yang Lin's face.

After a burst of clanging sounds, Qin Shuang and the others who had rushed up were inexplicably beaten to the ground, groaning in pain.

In a blink of an eye, only Yang Lin was left standing!

Yang Lin's eyes widened, staring at the girl before him as if she were a monster.

Could this be the legendary martial arts master

Yang Lin's mind raced. He hurriedly chuckled and said, "Miss Ziyi, it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I really had no ill intentions. Look at you, your move is so heavy… ouch!"

Yang Lin spoke as he slowly retreated until he reached Qin Shuang, who was lying on the ground. He suddenly picked up Qin Shuang's fallen crossbow, loaded an arrow, and drew it back in one swift motion!

In the blink of an eye, the crossbow was aimed at Ziyi.

Only then did Yang Lin let out a sigh of relief.

Even at such close range, no matter how skilled the opponent is, their speed could never surpass that of a crossbow bolt.

"Purple-clothed girl, you best return to your room. Otherwise, don't blame me if this arrow in my hand doesn't have eyes!"

"Worried that the other party might not know about crossbows and their power, he added: 'This is a crossbow, it's faster than a bow and arrow. I don't want to hurt you, so Miss Ziyi, I advise you to just listen obediently.'"

If the other party makes any rash moves, Yang Lin will also pull the trigger without hesitation!

However, upon hearing this, Ziyi not only remained unmoved but also tilted her head, gazing at the crossbow arrow in his hand as if she were very interested in it.

The other party's reaction took Yang Lin by surprise.

"The girl doesn't believe I can shoot an arrow"

Yang Lin frowned.

Although Yang Lin didn't know the other party's identity and didn't want to act rashly, being so ignored by a woman also made him somewhat angry.

Ziyì ignored Yánglín's words, but her gaze was fixed on the person behind him. "This man is very cunning, not a word of truth comes out of his mouth, but he should know something."

Yang Lin's heart skipped a beat.

Who is she talking to

Is someone behind you

Or is she a feint, luring him back with a diversion

Well, that should do it!

Having understood this, Yang Lin certainly wouldn't look back.

There shouldn't be any sound behind me, if there was, it would be a ghost!

Yang Lin rallied his spirits, staring intently at the purple-clad woman before him, watching her every move.

...just then…

"Well, well, that's quite interesting. Take him away for now and interrogate him."

Behind Yang Lin, came a cold and low voice of a woman!eat when he realized he was being watched.Even the constables were dumbfounded. There were simply too many villagers around; they couldn't possibly arrest them all."You...you..."Zhao Deyi gritted his...
