Chapter 45: Oh Heaven and Earth, where is justice? Second Watch

  "Chubby, you have the most meat here, come try it. My newly refined medicine." Zhuge Mingyue smiled slyly, and with one pull, she took Wan Qi Chen's hand and used the arrowhead of the arrow given by Xue Zikai to lightly prick a hole in Wan Qi Chen's finger.

  "What is this..." Xue Zihao asked curiously, but before he could finish his sentence, he already knew what it was.

  Wan Qi's body went straight down, and Ling Feiyang let him fall to the ground with a thud. Fortunately, the mud in the yard was relatively soft, so it didn't hurt much.

  "What the...?!" Wan Xi Chen's eyes widened in shock, for he discovered that not only was his entire body stiff, but even his tongue had become stiff and unable to speak.

  "It's an anesthetic, and it seems to be very effective. You've been knocked out just from this little bit." Zhuge Mingyue nodded in satisfaction, then returned the arrow to Xue Zihao. With a cruel glint in her eye, she said, "Xuezi, from now on, apply this anesthetic to all your arrows. As long as someone's skin is scratched by your arrow, ha! They'll be at your mercy."

  Xue Zihao looked excitedly at the arrow in his hand, then glanced at Wan Qi Chen who was lying on the ground staring blankly and unable to move. Just a tiny bit of this anesthetic had completely immobilized Wan Qi Chen. Xue Zihao knew just how potent this anesthetic was. He lifted his head to look at Zhuge Mingyue's smiling face, feeling warmth in his heart. He knew that Zhuge Mingyue had specially prepared this medicine for him because of what happened last time.

  "Take it in, bring the stuff inside." Zhuge Mingyue handed over the food bought by Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zihao to Ling Feiyang, who took it with a smile and went into the house.

  "Haozi, let me take a look at your bow." Zhuge Mingyue stretched out her hand.

  Xue Zikao took down the longbow from his back and handed it to Zhuge Mingyue. Zhuge Mingyue carefully examined it for a moment, saying: "My alchemy skills are not high yet, when my alchemy skills improve, I can refine your longbow." As she spoke, Zhuge Mingyue took an arrow and drew the bow, aiming at the wall. With great force, she shot the arrow out, which finally lodged in the wall with just a small tip of the arrowhead before falling down elegantly. Zhuge Mingyue twitched her mouth, shooting another arrow, this time even better, the arrow flew directly over the wall and into the courtyard of Ling Feiyang's house.

  Wan Xi Zhen lay on the ground, wanting to laugh but couldn't. His face was stiff, what a joke. Xue Zi Hao also wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to.

  Zhuge Mingyue hummed and returned the longbow to Xue Zihao, it seemed she wasn't cut out for archery after all. Turning her head, she saw Duanmu Xun staring fixedly in their direction, his eyes lingering on the longbow in Xue Zihao's hand, without even blinking.

  "Xuan Xuan, want to give it a try?" Xue Zi Hao asked with a smile.

  "May I?" Dongmu Xuan was very nervous and excited.

  "Alright, come." Xue Zihao smiled warmly and beckoned to Duan Muxun. Zhuge Mingyue also nodded for her to approach.

  Du Mu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then walked over. Xue Zi Hao handed the longbow to her and taught her how to shoot arrows hand in hand. Du Mu Xuan's body sank slightly, concentrated her strength, and shot an arrow with a whooshing sound. After the sharp breaking of the air, the arrow pierced into the wall fiercely, and the arrow feathers quivered slightly. This scene made Zhu Ge Ming Yue stare blankly.

  "Xuan Xuan, you're really talented!" Xue Zi Hao exclaimed in surprise, "I never thought that you'd be better than..." Xue Zi Hao caught sight of Zhu Ge Ming Yue's green face beside him and wisely swallowed back the rest of his words.

  "Then come teach Xuan Xuan archery when you have nothing to do." Zhuge Mingyue glared at Xue Zihao and gave the order.

  "Yes." Xue Zihao smiled and nodded.

  Du Mu Xuan's hands tightened around her longbow, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Zhuge Mingyue and Xue Zihao. It seemed like she had a lot to say, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know what to say. Her eyes were just a little sour, being able to meet Zhuge Mingyue was her blessing in this life.

  Then several people in the yard drank tea, ate snacks, played chess, ignoring Wan Qi Chen who was lying on the ground staring at the sky counting clouds. It wasn't until noon that Wan Qi Chen felt his body slowly becoming able to move again.

  "Time flies so fast, it's amazing." Xue Zihao exclaimed.

  "That's natural." Zhuge Mingyue proudly raised her head.

  Wan Xi Chen stood by, his heart overflowing with indignation. Is this how a fatty like me is supposed to be treated? Having more flesh just means being used as an experiment, Heaven and Earth, where is the justice?! Of course, these words could only be muttered in his heart, he still didn't dare shout them out loud.

  From then on, Xue Zihao had an additional task, coming to teach Duanmu Xun archery every day after school. Duanmu Xun was naturally talented and diligent, and any teacher would love a hardworking student. So Xue Zihao taught Duanmu Xun everything he knew without holding back.

  "I'll go buy some chicken legs, you guys continue." Zhuge Mingyue said to Xue Zihao who was instructing Du Mu Xuan.

  "Hmm, I'll buy a roasted chicken while I'm at it." Xue Zihao smacked his lips.

  "Alright." Zhuge Mingyue waved her hand and responded, then left the house herself. Wan Qi Chen had been busy with family matters recently, while Ling Feiyang was practicing sword fighting diligently in his own courtyard.

  Zhuge Mingyue walked out of the door, and the main street was still filled with a solemn atmosphere. Luo Xiao's matter made the city master very worried. Therefore, Cang Feng City remained on high alert.

  The Longshan Mountains stretch far and wide, with rare flowers, strange grasses, precious birds, and exotic beasts emerging one after another, making it a huge treasure trove. Since ancient times, it has been the paradise of adventurers and treasure hunters. Cangfeng City is located at the entrance of the mountain range, relying on its geographical advantage, it has also become their last supply point before entering the mountains, so the business of wine houses and restaurants has always been good.

  These days, due to the city guard and defense troops from other cities entering Xunlong Mountains in large numbers to hunt down Luo Jiao, these treasure hunters were strictly forbidden from entering the mountains, so they had no choice but to stay in Cangfeng City, causing business at all major taverns to boom even more.

  When Zhuge Mingyue walked into the wine house, she saw that it was bustling with people and couldn't find an empty seat. However, she was also someone who bought good things and left. Just as the waiter was packing her things, several men in black clothes came in from the entrance. A young man with a messy head of hair grabbed the waiter's collar and lifted him up easily, saying, "The best private room, the best wine and dishes, move quickly!"

  "I'm really sorry, sir. There are too many people today and we're fully booked. Why don't I find a place for you to sit for a while and I'll arrange a seat for you as soon as one becomes available?" The waiter had encountered similar situations many times in the past few days, so this speech came out fluently and effortlessly.

  "Is there no room? Then I'll find it myself?" The young man with a messy head of hair chuckled and raised his hand, tossing the small second floor out, it was really hard to see that he had such great strength from his seemingly weak build.

  That little guy's legs touched the ground and he lost control, retreating backwards with a loud crash into the wall, landing on his butt.

  "Damn it, you'd better find a seat and watch me spit in your dish!" The waiter cursed silently to himself, but didn't dare say a word out loud.

  At this time, several men in black had come to a table. "Two people occupy such a large table, how much can you eat?" A young man with messy hair looked at the two who were eating and said disdainfully.

  "It's none of your business, I'll take up as much space as I want! Even if I rent the whole building, it's still none of your business!" A burly man stood up abruptly. Those who dare to venture into the Dragon Mountain Range to search for treasure are not weak in power, and every day they hover between life and death, so their temper is naturally not good either.

  "Get out of here!" The disheveled youth didn't waste any words, and with one punch, he smashed the big man's face. When the big man stood up, he was already prepared to fight back, but facing the disheveled youth's punch, he didn't even have a chance to dodge. As soon as the thought of dodging occurred to him, his head buzzed loudly, and he flew out like a kite with a broken string, suspended in mid-air for three seconds before heavily falling to the ground, spitting out several bloody teeth.

  "Looking for death!" The big man's face turned bright red with anger, he stood up and shook his head vigorously to clear his mind, then drew out the thick-backed chopping knife from behind his back.

  His companions also drew their longbows and stood guard beside him.

  The loud noise of Da Han's fall attracted the attention of other customers at nearby tables, who all turned their heads to look. Zhuge Mingyue, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow and leaned back to watch the commotion with interest. Such incidents happened every day, so it was nothing unusual.

  "Kill that big guy, Mo Yuan!" A familiar swordsman cheered from a distance. Most of these adventurers knew each other, and even if they didn't, after staying in Cang Feng City for a few days, they had some understanding of one another. The big guy in front was named Mo Yuan, with strength at the peak of a high-level swordsman, and his innate power was astonishing. He was also one of the top-notch experts in the entire adventurer team.

  "If you dare to move, I'll pinch you to death." The disheveled young man slowly stretched out his hand, palm slightly open, pointing at Mo Yuan's indifferent back as he grasped the thick-backed knife. His icy gaze swept across the room, and an intangible aura of killing intent was slowly released from his body, causing the air in the hall to suddenly turn cold. Even Zhuge Mingyue felt a chill run down her spine. What a powerful killing intent!

  The adventurers present were all living on the edge, who among them had not seen bloodshed before? They were most familiar with this killing intent. "How can there be such a strong killing intention, what is this young man doing?" For a moment, the adventurers' hearts were filled with doubt, and they no longer dared to underestimate this disheveled youth. The swordsman who had just cheered him on earlier had even hidden in the crowd, not daring to show his face again.

  Under the gaze of the disheveled youth, Mo Yuan's heart was filled with fear, his hand holding the knife trembling slightly. After a struggle between self-respect and life, he finally managed to put the knife away with difficulty.

  "You're ruthless, I'll settle the score with you later." Mo Yuan threw out a harsh remark with a lack of confidence and led his companions away from the wine tower.

  "Hmph, next time I see you, I'll kill you." The young man's voice was light, but Mo Yuan's feet stumbled and quickened his pace.

  "Bring on the dishes, the best dishes, and the best wine!" The young man with a wild look sat down in a swaggering manner, without giving anyone else a glance.

  Even Lian Mo Yu didn't dare to make a move, let alone others who didn't have the courage or necessity. Everyone tacitly turned their heads back and focused on eating, but the hall became eerily quiet.

  "Xiao Ding, don't forget we're here to gather information, try not to cause trouble." A young man sitting next to the unruly youth, who had a hedgehog-like magical pet perched on his shoulder, reminded him. The pet's large red nose was particularly eye-catching, and it would occasionally stick out its red nose to sniff around, looking very cute.

  "I know about the Beast's Fang, but they're just a useless group of adventurers. There's nothing to worry about." The disheveled young man said nonchalantly.

  "You haven't met a formidable opponent yet, otherwise with your temperament, you would have died countless times." Beast Tooth said with a heavy heart.

  "Haha, with Xiao Tangzhuzhu and what other formidable opponents to fear, just that surname Liu swordsman is not..." Little Ding said with a loud laugh.

  "Shut up, Xiao Ding!" Beast Tooth immediately stopped Xiao Ding from saying anything else. He looked around nervously, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he slightly relaxed and lowered his voice, as if scolding Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding nodded with a somewhat disgruntled expression.

  Zhuge Mingyue's face changed, she lowered her head to cover up her emotions, shocked in her heart. These two people were the ones who had been chasing and killing Luo Xiao! And Liu Dongwang was one of their victims!
