A Visit

"Yes."

Watching Qin Jianghe vent his frustration by brandishing his broadsword in the courtyard, Fang Manliang felt a deep sense of admiration.

Since they left, this cousin has established himself in the county in such a short time. He has witnessed and admired the efforts his cousin made in dealing with various parties.

Not to mention his cousin's formidable martial prowess, which he greatly admired, hoping that he could also improve his skills as soon as possible and reach the same level.

When they arrived in Songyang County, Qin Jianghe had already told him and his elder brother Fang Mancang about the Lingxian Sect Fang Mancang. However, both he and his elder brother were cultivating too slowly, and they had only just advanced to the Qi Refining First Layer a few days ago.

Suddenly, someone ran in from outside.

"Boss! I want to go with you too!" The person who came was Gu Yuxiao.

Still dressed in men's clothing, she strode into the courtyard and spoke to Qin Jianghe, who had stopped wielding his knife.

"Brother Dali said those people look very similar to the people who killed my father!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jianghe did not immediately respond, but looked at her in silence for a moment before speaking:

"Have you thought this through? If you go with me and something happens, I might not be able to protect you."

Gu Yuxiao was very anxious, afraid that he would not agree, and nodded repeatedly:

"I'll be careful! I won't hold you back. Let me come with you, boss!"

Qin Jianghe nodded almost imperceptibly in response:

"Alright, then you can prepare these next two days. We'll set off first thing the day after tomorrow."

Having received his approval, Gu Yuxiao was overjoyed and quickly turned around and went back to her room.

She needs to prepare more supplies; she is determined to annihilate those thieves!

She wants revenge for her father!

After she left, Fang Manliang asked Qin Jianghe in the courtyard with some concern:

"Jianghe, are you really letting Miss Gu go with us? Isn't that too dangerous?"

Qin Jianghe turned to look at him, his eyes extremely calm, and he spoke softly:

"Quietly prepare some dry rations for me; I'll set off tonight."

Fang Manliang gave him a look that said, "So you were lying to her just now," and then nodded and whispered:

"Don't worry, I'll make sure Miss Gu doesn't find out."

So as night fell and the moon rose higher, Qin Jianghe, dressed in black, quietly left Lingxiao Escort Agency, unnoticed by anyone.

The next morning, when Gu Yuxiao got up for breakfast, she found that Qin Jianghe, who usually ate with her, was nowhere to be seen.

She asked Fang Manliang with some doubt:

"Brother Manliang, where's the boss?"

Fang Manliang had spent the entire night rehearsing his answer, and seeing that she had indeed asked, he answered very smoothly:

"Jianghe He and my brother went to visit the families of those brothers early this morning."

However, in reality, only Fang Mancang went, and he was woken up from bed by Fang Manliang before dawn.

Gu Yuxiao Fang Mancang had indeed not appeared, Gu Yuxiao did not suspect anything.

Until the afternoon.

Gu Yuxiao saw Fang Mancang return alone after visiting the family members.

She immediately found Fang Manliang and asked:

"Did the Dayi go alone?"

Fang Manliang still denied it:

"No, Jianghe went out with my older brother this morning."

Knowing he wouldn't tell the truth, Gu Yuxiao rushed back to her room, grabbed what she had prepared the night before, and headed out to chase after Qin Jianghe.

The Fang Mancang and Fang Manliang, immediately stopped her, saying:

"Miss Gu, don't be impulsive! It's too dangerous for you to go alone like this! Besides, given Jianghe's speed, even if you chase after him now, you definitely won't be able to catch up. You'd be better off staying home and waiting for him to come back."

"I want to go! I want to see them die!" Gu Yuxiao had been taught martial arts by her father for many years and was very agile. The Fang Household brothers were about to lose their grip on her and let her go.

At this time, an escort from the Lingxiao Escort Agency came to the backyard and said to the two Fang brothers:

"There are two men ahead who say they're looking for the boss, and one of them says his name is Lin Xiao."

Upon hearing this, Fang Mancang quickly said to the bodyguard:

"Thank you, brother, please quickly invite him in!"

They had often heard Qin Jianghe talk about Lin Xiao and their Lingxian Sect, so although they had never met Lin Xiao, his name was already very well-known.

Gu Yuxiao, who had been clamoring to go out, stopped in her tracks when she heard Lin Xiao's name.

The two men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her stop.

He thought to himself that Brother Xiao's arrival was just in time.

The two of them quickly followed the escort who came in to report and walked to the lobby of the escort agency in front.

Lin Xiao, who had brought Jiang Youfu early in the morning, was now looking around at Jianghe 'Jiang Youfu escort agency with great curiosity.

Although they had seen a security escort agency when they went to Anqun County, they were just passing by and only glanced at it from the roadside. The agency was bustling with people, and the bodyguards all looked rather unfriendly, so they felt embarrassed to go in for a visit.

But things are different now.

This escort agency was run by the brothers, and strictly speaking, it was a sect-owned business, specifically the escort agency of the Lingxian Sect.

Our own security escort agency!

There's an inexplicable sense of familiarity about them; even the burly bodyguards waiting for their shifts in the lobby seem very kind and friendly.

When the two Fang Household brothers followed the bodyguard to the front, they saw a tall, slender young man and a rather short and chubby young man, both looking around the escort agency with curiosity.

The bodyguards were getting embarrassed by their stares.

Fortunately, they had traveled all over the country and had seen many strange people and events. No matter how much Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu watched, they remained unmoved and their expressions did not change.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but admire him.

It must be said that Jianghe's men are really reliable. These bodyguards seem to be very honest and upright, and they also have good tempers.

Seeing that their fellow bodyguards were about to lose their composure, the Fang Household brothers quickly stepped forward and invited Lin Xiao and his companion to the backyard.

Before the Fang Household brothers could even exchange names with Lin Xiao and his companion, Gu Yuxiao was waiting in the backyard, couldn't sit still any longer. Upon seeing Lin Xiao, she immediately came over and said:

"Sect Master Lin, Dayi Qin has gone to find those bandits alone! There's a good chance there are cultivators among them!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao, who was about to ask where Qin Jianghe was, paused for a moment, then looked at her and said:

Is this really true?

Gu Yuxiao nodded immediately, but before she could say anything more, Fang Manliang asked in confusion:

"Miss Gu, why are you suddenly saying this? Jianghe has never said anything like this before."

Interrupted, Gu Yuxiao frowned and gritted her teeth, saying:

"When my father was young, he was taken care of by an old beggar. Before the beggar died, he gave him a treasure, saying that the treasure could protect him from the most physical pain caused by ordinary people, and he would never be in danger of losing his life."
