The Story of the Swordsman

Assassin

Yang Mengli passed through the crowd along with several guards following behind him. His arrival caused Luo Kun's guards to stop their movements.

"Oh? Isn't that Young Miss Yang. I'm the one who's making a fuss here. What are you gonna do?" Luo Kun turned his head to look at Yang Mengli and gave a provocation.

Yang Mengli arrived at Yun Lintian's stall and ordered his bodyguards, "Catch the three."

"Yes, Young Miss!" The guards responded and quickly shot forward towards the three.

Luo Kun's expression changed drastically. He never thought Yang Mengli would be so resolute and ignored him completely.

"What are you doing !? Are you trying to provoke my Luo clan !?" Luo Kun shouted loudly in anger.

Yang Mengli did not reply when he saw his bodyguards conquering Luo Kun's subordinates easily. He then turned to Yun Lintian and said with a smile, "Doctor, forgive me. I'm late."

Yun Lintian cupped his fists: "Thank you, Young Miss Yang, for helping me."

Yang Mengli smiled faintly.

Seeing his subordinates being captured, Luo Kun gnashed his teeth furiously as he said, "So. It seems that Young Miss Yang did not put my Luo clan in your eyes. I will let the elders deal with your Yang clan later." After which, he walked away without looking at his subordinates.

"Greetings, Sister Mengli." Hua Wanru stepped forward and greeted Yang Mengli.

Yang Mengli gave him a smile and replied gently, "Wanru, you must have suffered all this time."

Hua Wanru shook his head, "I'm fine, Luo Kun doesn't dare to do anything excessive to me." He turned to Yun Lintian and gave him some respect. "Thank you, Doctor, for prescribing me. Wanru will definitely repay this favor in the future. Wanru go first."

Hua Wanru nodded his head gently at Yang Mengli and walked away towards Luo Kun.

"Good girl." Yang Mengli wailed softly.

Yun Lintian did not care much about the drama between them. He looked at Yang Mengli and asked, "What about his things?"

Yang Mengli replied in a low voice, "I've already sent them all to your room. You can go back to check it out."

Yun Lintian nodded his head, "OK, you can come to take the pill tonight." He turned to the audience and shouted, "Sorry, everyone. I am tired today. I'll go first." With that, he immediately returned to the Inn.

Yang Mengli waved his hand, ordering his bodyguards to release Luo Kun's subordinates. He said, "Go back and tell your master. Next time, he shouldn't have come here to cause trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to leave as freely as he did today." He then turned around and left the scene.

...

Yun Lintian arrived at his room and saw several wooden boxes lying on the floor of the living room. A smile appeared on his face as he hurriedly checked all the boxes.

"Finally, I can come back." Yun Lintian smiled as he looked at the deep blue-colored iron chunk in front of him. This cold iron was none other than the Heavenly Yin Iron he was looking for.

"Congratulations." The figure of Yun Meilan appeared in the room. He looked at Yun Lintian and asked, "Why did you deliberately anger that Luo Kun? Didn't you see his men? Each one of them can easily knock you down. Why are you so reckless today?"

Yun Lintian laughed a little: "Sorry for worrying you, Aunt Meilan. I can't help it. When I saw his arrogance, I just wanted to tease him a little. At the same time, I knew there would be someone telling Yang Mengli after I appeared on the street. I was expecting him to come."

Yun Meilan looked at Yun Lintian deeply and finally let go of the matter. He sat down on a chair and brewed tea without a word.

Yun Lintian knew he had done something wrong before and made him worry. He quickly changed the subject, "I'll start concocting the pills now."

He took out the copper cauldron he bought yesterday on his way back to the inn and started purifying all the ingredients.

The process of making it runs smoothly and very quickly. It took Yun Lintian an hour to refine all the ingredients and another 2 hours to concoct the pills. The pill Yun Lintian refined was a Rank 5 Soul Return Pill. During his stay in the Sect, Yun Lintian had refined this pill several times under the guidance of Yun Qingrou. So, there was no problem for him to do it again.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Yun Lintian took the nine blue-colored pills into the jade bottle before he closed his eyes, replenishing his profound energy.

Yun Meilan observed the entire process from the side and was amazed at the speed of concocting Yun Lintian ... What kind of monster are you? Even Yun Qingrou did not necessarily possess this kind of speed. Who the hell are you? A few questions came to his mind.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside. Yun Meilan reminded Yun Lintian, "That little girl has arrived." His figure instantly disappeared from that place afterwards.

He went to open the door and let Yang Mengli enter. When he stepped into the room, Yang Mengli could smell a strong medicinal scent, causing him to look forward to the pill.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Yun Lintian handed the jade bottle to Yang Mengli. "Here, here's the pill. Give your father at least three pills an hour apart. He'll be fine."

Yang Mengli gripped the jade bottle tightly as he bowed deeply to Yun Lintian, "On behalf of the Yang clan, I sincerely appreciate your kindness, and from now on, I will respect your kindness, and from now on, You'll be our friend forever."

Yun Lintian did not react much on this matter. He only gave her a slight nod: "Alright, I appreciate that. My job here is done and I'm leaving tonight. I wish you and your clan the best."

Yang Mengli took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Doctor. Hope you get a safe trip ... Also please be careful when you go out of town. I'm afraid Luo Kun will deploy someone to deal with you. If you need my help, don't hesitate to tell me."

"No problem. I don't need your help. I can face it." Yun Lintian replied calmly.

"In my opinion, whoever has the most ambition must be the culprit in this matter. I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself. Good luck." Yun Lintian said. Although he did not want to get involved in their dispute, he was still a little concerned about the two brothers as he was very confident this Yang Chen would become a noble figure in the future. It's not detrimental to be friends with them at all.

"Thank you, Doctor. I think I know who did it." Yang Mengli replied earnestly.

Yun Lintian could see a strong confidence from his expression. He said, "You have to go back."

Yang Mengli looked at Yun Lintian deeply as if he wanted to carve his figure into his mind. This journey may last forever. Who knows if they will meet again in the future.

Yun Lintian did not say anything more and started packing everything, preparing to return.

Before Yang Mengli walked out of the room, he turned around and said, "Doctor, I hope we can meet again in the future."

Yun Lintian turned around and chuckled, "Who knows, that future might be faster than you think."

Yang Mengli bowed deeply again to Yun Lintian and stepped out of the room.

Upon seeing his departure, Yun Lintian quickly stored everything into his spatial ring and left the inn, heading towards the East City Gate.

At the corner of the road, a tall figure continued to stare at Yun Lintian and he followed him from behind.

Yun Lintian walked unhurriedly while looking at the night view of the capital. His mind once again drifted into the distant past when he was on Earth. The last 3 years before his death, his life was simple - waking up in the morning, his, do some exercise before his favorite breakfast on the market street. In his spare time, he would read all kinds of novels and go open a fried rice stall at night. His life was peaceful and peaceful.

"I kind of miss that life." Yun Lintian muttered to himself in a low voice.

An hour later, Yun Lintian finally left the capital, and he headed for the forest.

This forest was known as the Crimson Mysterious Forest and was inhabited by various ferocious beasts, making this place extremely dangerous. Even the practitioners in the Capital City who were known for their strength, only dared to move in the outermost part of the forest. As one ventured deeper into the forest, high-level beasts would be encountered. The reason why the forest was named the Crimson Mysterious Forest was because all the trees around this place had miraculously turned a deep red color.

Passing the path, Yun Lintian arrived at a small hill with a dead end. He stopped his movements, turned around, and said calmly, "Get out. I know you've been following me around."

Behind the tree that was far away from Yun Lintian, a tall man slowly emerged from the shadows. He's wearing a gray robe. His face could not be seen because of the mask on his face. In his right hand, there was a long sword, looking extremely sharp.

"Since you already know I've been following you, why don't you try staying in town instead of going out? Is that brave or stupid?" The masked man said in a slightly silly voice.

Yun Lintian smiled faintly: "Let me guess, Luo Kun sent you here?"

The masked man chuckled: "Who else? At first, Young Master Luo wanted to sustain your miserable life by letting you serve the Luo clan. Too bad, you chose to offend her."

"Serving the Luo clan? Are you guys worthy? Come on, don't waste my time." Yun Lintian replied as he took out a wooden bow and arrow from his spatial ring. The moment he pulled his arrow, a powerful aura instantly shot out from his body. He aimed at the masked man and quickly removed his arrow.

Bang out!

The arrow was immediately cut in half, and the masked man dashed forward towards Yun Lintian. Within a span of two seconds, he had already arrived in front of Yun Lintian and swung his sword at Yun Lintian's head without hesitation. However, before the sword could touch Yun Lintian, his movements suddenly stopped. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at his chest. In his chest, he could see the tip of the sword piercing through his heart from behind.

Puffs!

Instantly, the masked man's head was cut off, his body slowly falling to the ground. Behind his body, the figure of Yun Meilan appeared. The short sword in his hand was mixed with blood as drops of blood slowly fell drop by drop. Under the moonlight, his figure was like an illusion, merging with the shadows around him.
