　　“Miss Susu, this is not what we agreed upon！”
　　Xu Miaoyan quickly retreated into the cabin and began to use the communication talisman to contact the Miss Susu who was waiting here.
　　Unexpectedly, there was no response from the other end of the communication talisman.
　　“I… I was deceived.”
　　Looking at the repulsive Young Master of Xunhuan Valley, Xu Miaoyan finally realized that everything said by that Miss Susu was just a scam.
　　“Miss Susu？”
　　“Oh, you mean that young woman in green？”
　　“Fifty gold essence coins, and she sold your hiding place.”
　　While speaking, the Young Master of Xunhuan Valley approached Xu Miaoyan with a smile on his face.
　　“Senior Brother is right, the rivers and lakes are dangerous…”
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyan’s heart sank, and she was completely desperate.
　　“Ceng！… ”
　　And at this moment, with a harsh knife chirping sound, a knife light “boomed” and broke open the water prison around the black-awning boat.
　　“Ceng！”
　　The cultivation base of the Young Master of Xunhuan Valley was not weak. At the same time when that knife light split open his water prison, he also suddenly drew his knife out of its sheath and slashed at that knife light.
　　“Peng！”
　　But his saber momentum almost collapsed upon contact, and in the end, only relying on the protective light shield emitted by the longevity lock around his neck was he able to barely block this saber strike.
　　“Boom！”
　　Although he blocked this saber strike, the water prison, along with the roof of the awning boat, was sliced off together by this saber light.
　　“Crash…”
　　After the water prison exploded and scattered, the entire lake was pouring with heavy rain.
Through the overwhelming water curtain, Xu Miaoyan, with a face full of horror saw that a young man wearing a sky-blue daoist robe, with a handsome face and dark skin, was holding a long saber, stepping on the water waves, and looking at them from a distance.
　　“Brother, for this woman, name your price！”
　　The young master of Xunhuan Valley, with one hand tightly grasping Xu Miaoyan’s wrist and the other hand holding a saber, vigilantly looked at the young man standing on the water surface in front.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoyan’s eyes became vigilant accordingly.
　　However, that young man did not speak, but only stretched out his hand and stuffed something into the eye patch.
　　“Brother, for this woman, one hundred, no, three hundred gold essence coins, how about it？”
　　The master of Xunhuan Valley offered a price to that young man.
　　Xu Miaoyan beside heard herself being bargained and resolved like a good, and her extremely beautiful face was filled with a humiliating expression.
　　If it weren’t for the fact that her qi acupoints were sealed by this young master of Xunhuan Valley at this moment, she would definitely have crashed her head against the side of the boat and died.
　　However, deep down in her heart, she still had a glimmer of hope for the young man not far away.
　　She thought to herself that there couldn’t be not a single good person in this world, could there？
　　But the young man’s next words made her heart sink back into the ice cave again –
　　“How much Gold Essence Coin do you have？”
After hearing these words, the young master of the Seeking Joy Valley looked up and laughed heartily, saying:
　　“Brother, you are indeed a person of the same kind. I, Qi Zhaoyan, am willing to befriend you…”
　　“Don’t talk nonsense. How much Gold Essence Coin do you actually have？”
　　However, before Qi Zhaoyan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the young man.
　　Qi Zhaoyan smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and then took out a money bag and said：
　　“I was in too much of a hurry to come out and only brought six hundred Gold Essence Coins.”
Theyoungman frowned and said:
　　“Just　this　little？”
　　When Qi Zhaoyan of the Seeking Joy Valley heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
At this time, the young man waved his hand impatiently and said:
　　“Put down the money bag and you can scram.”
　　Qi Zhaoyan’s face lit up when he heard this, and he immediately pulled Xu Miaoyan and was about to leave.
　　“Wait　a　minute.”
　　Just as he stood up pulling Xu Miaoyan, he was stopped by the young man again.
　　“Brother, what else is there？”
　　Qi Zhaoyan looked at the young man with a puzzled expression.
　　“You can scram. The girl stays.”
　　The young man pointed to Xu Miaoyan who was being held by Qi Zhaoyan.
　　”Money and people, you’re being too overbearing, aren’t you, brother？”
　　Qi Zhaoyan’s expression gradually turned cold, and a talisman quietly slipped from his sleeve and was held in his hand.
　　”If I were really overbearing, I would have taken your life as well.”
　　The young man sneered.
　　”That depends on whether you have the ability…”
　　”Zhi！ ——”
　　While speaking, Qi Zhaoyan began to activate the talisman in his hand, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cicada chirp. At the same time, a huge blade shadow like a cicada’s wing, following the long knife in the young man’s hand, slashed down and severed Qi Zhaoyan’s arm that was holding the talisman at the shoulder.
　　”Boom！”
First, Qi Zhaoyan’s arm fell off, and then the air wave oscillation generated by this knife spread out on the water surface.
　　”Kid, I remember you. The green mountains remain and the green waters flow. We’ll meet again some other day！”
　　Qi Zhaoyan, with a pale face, endured the severe pain, threw aside Xu Miaoyan, and without hesitation, threw out a Storm Talisman, and then his figure flew out from the lake surface.
　　”Boom！”
　　After the Storm Talisman exploded, a gust of wind blew across the river and slapped fiercely at Xu Taiping.
　　But with a “swish” sound of breaking the wind, that gust of wind was first split open by Xu Taiping with his long knife.
　　At the same time, his figure also flashed in place and landed lightly on the bow of the boat.
　　He took the money bag placed on the bow of the boat, and then looked at Xu Miaoyan, who was pale and shrinking in a corner of the cabin, and said：
　　“You belong to me now.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoyan, who had originally had a glimmer of hope, and suddenly shed a tear of humiliation from the corner of her eye.
　　……
　　On the small building on the opposite bank.
　　“The intelligence of the Saintess is indeed correct. This kid is both greedy for money and lustful.”
　　A woman in green clothes sneered and looked at the black awning boat on the distant river.
　　On the table beside her, there was also a sound transmission jade slip, and the conversation between the youth and Xu Miaoyan was coming from it.
　　“He is also very cautious. Instead of staying in restaurants or inns, he stays with the fishermen by the river.”
　　Opposite the woman in green clothes, a man with a face as black as charcoal nodded slightly.
　　These two people were none other than Su Su and Black Dog, the assassins recruited by Blood Hand, the leader of the assassins this time.
