Fang Shuwen's words left everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment.
The few people who had witnessed his attack earlier were alright, but Liu Qi from Flying Snow City, along with the four experts—three men and one woman—were dumbfounded.
He looked at Fang Shuwen with disbelief in his eyes.
With the Book Immortal Murong Qingchen right in front of them, which of them wasn't on high alert?
With tensions rising and Murong Qingchen about to make his move... how dare this brat interrupt?
And what was it about the escort agency?
Isn't this kid afraid that Murong Qingchen will get angry and attack him directly?
With his doubts growing, the leader frowned and looked at Fang Shuwen, intending to make him step back to avoid getting into trouble.
But in front of Murong Qingchen, she dared not be distracted at all.
But at that moment, Murong Qingchen nodded:
"Okay, since you're in a hurry, you go first."
The group from Flying Snow City exchanged bewildered glances. When had Murong Qingchen become so agreeable?
Xiao Yanyu and the others had witnessed Fang Shuwen's skills; he had slapped the old man surnamed Gu so hard that he was spinning around on the ground.
Fang Shuwen had no idea who the old man surnamed Gu was.
However, Xiao Yanyu and the others knew this.
This man's name is Gu Yuxian, and he is known in the martial arts world as the Red Dust Oddity World
He was a man of both good and evil, capricious in mood, and extremely skilled in martial arts.
In addition, he was old and held a high position in the martial arts world, so ordinary people were unwilling to provoke him easily, and most people could not defeat him.
Therefore, having roamed the martial world for so long, he has become increasingly difficult to deal with and provoke.
As a result, this person was Fang Shuwen by Fang Shuwen and never dared to utter a sound again.
This shows how highly skilled Fang Shuwen was in Fang Shuwen and martial arts.
Murong Qingchen respected his skills and naturally didn't mind giving him a little face.
Fang Shuwen didn't know what they were thinking, but he simply waved to Liu Qi:
"Manager Liu, why aren't you here right now?"
Liu Qi glanced at the current situation with a bewildered expression, but still quickly walked up to Fang Shuwen:
"How should I address you, young man?"
Fang Shuwen smiled:
"I'm just a nobody and don't deserve any attention. I'd better let our young commander tell you."
Liu Qi's lips twitched. What a nobody, not worth mentioning...
An unknown nobody whom even Murong Qingchen couldn't ignore?
However, since Fang Shuwen had already said this much, he could only look longingly at Lu Guiyan.
Lu Guiyan didn't dare to be negligent and clasped his hands in greeting, saying:
"Liu Da is in charge, I'm down here with Lu Guiyan, the young chief escort of the Lu'an Escort Bureau in Julu City.
"Several months ago, I was entrusted by Wang Shouyan, the city lord of Julu City, to escort two guests to Flying Snow City... The journey has been quite difficult, but I have finally fulfilled my mission."
"Please have Steward Liu review this shipment manifest. If there are no problems, please sign and affix your seal to it. I'll take it back and report to the authorities."
Liu Qi nodded upon hearing this, glanced at the escort manifest, and then looked at the two escorts.
He immediately ordered someone to fetch writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and the steward's seal.
While waiting, the leader of Flying Snow City suddenly asked:
"Young Master Lu, if I may ask, who are these two gentlemen?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Guiyan felt a strange sensation.
When Wang Shouyan handed the people over to her, he only said that the two people were guests of Flying Snow City.
Their other identity was discovered by Fang Shuwen.
Now that it's better to avoid trouble, I'd like to relay Wang Shouyan's words.
Before she could speak, the man among the master and servant said:
"I am a physician from the Marvelous Physician Hall of the Startling Flower Pavilion."
"I have come at the request of City Lord Wu Lingxiao to treat his injuries and illness."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.
However, the leader's breathing suddenly became rapid:
"You're a healer from the Startling Flower Pavilion!?"
Do you have proof?
The maid immediately took out the Lingxiao Token from her bosom and held it high:
"Please take a look, Commander."
The leader immediately stepped forward, took the token in his hand, examined it carefully, and then let out a long sigh of relief, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
"I see. It was my Flying Snow City that was negligent, unaware that distinguished guests from the Startling Flower Pavilion had arrived. Please forgive us."
Gu Yuxian and the big monk exchanged glances.
As Xiao Yanyu said, they came here because Wu Lingxiao was seriously injured and risked his life to find the Seven-String Ancient Text.
But if those two healers from the Startling Flower Pavilion heal Wu Lingxiao's injuries, what's the point of them searching for anything else?
Now, they face two paths.
The first rule is to leave immediately; otherwise, you've come all this way for nothing.
The second one... is risky murder!
Judging from the expression on the leader's face, Wu Lingxiao was probably seriously injured and likely didn't have long to live.
If these two doctors are killed, Wu Lingxiao will be powerless to reverse the situation.
Everything can proceed according to the original plan at that time.
Of course, if this attempt fails, Wu Lingxiao will surely settle scores with him later... However, as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. The Seven-String Ancient Text contains an immense opportunity. It is said that the first city lord of Flying Snow City established Flying Snow City and built this century-old foundation by relying on the secrets of the Seven-String Ancient Text.
Now, by taking a risk, I might just be able to create the next Flying Snow City!
Even without building such a vast power, one might still possess extraordinary martial arts skills, enough to make one arrogance in the martial world.
For a moment, these people had many thoughts running through their minds.
Fang Shuwen observed coldly, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces, and then glanced thoughtfully at the two masters and servants.
Just then, someone brought pen, ink, paper, and an official seal for the steward.
Liu Qi hurriedly picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and signed his name on the escort order. Finally, he picked up the seal, dipped it in ink, and stamped it squarely on the order.
As the seal was affixed, Fang Shuwen finally received a long-awaited system notification.
[Ding! Assisted Lu'an Escort Agency in protecting the personal safety of the escort until the mission was successfully completed! Rewards being calculated...]
[Ding! Reward successfully settled!]
[Congratulations, host! You have achieved the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Art!]
[Claim now?]
"The Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Art..."
Fang Shuwen felt a slight surge of joy; his hard work along the way hadn't been in vain, and the reward was quite good.
This martial art is said to be able to influence celestial phenomena, condensing a gigantic Dharma image behind one's back... When it is used, it creates quite a spectacle.
He pondered this in his heart, but was in no hurry to collect it.
After all, each time you receive a reward, you need to spend time integrating and mastering the knowledge; you can't exactly sit cross-legged in front of so many people, can you?
He took the escort manifest from Liu Qi and handed it to Lu Guiyan.
Fang Shuwen then said:
"Alright, that concludes our business. We'll take our leave now. Please continue."
After saying that, he was about to leave with Lu Guiyan and the others.
"Young hero, please wait!"
