At this moment, Yin Yin exploded with amazing human imagination. Her brain was running at high speed and countless excuses flashed in her mind one by one.

……

But these are also just in her imagination.

In fact, there is still nothing in her mind until now.

Ling Long didn’t rush her, but just sat there quietly, waiting patiently while sipping tea.

When a cup of tea was about to be finished, Ling Long finally said, “Are you done making something up?”

Yin Yin’s expression became stiff. Uh, in fact it has been stiff all this time.

She sighed in her heart, Ling Long deserves to be Ling Long. What a skillful question to ask ah, ha ha.

Yin Yin rubbed the stiff muscles on her face and forced out a dry smile. “Xiao Lingling, how can you use the word ‘make up’? ‘Someone’ always speak to you from the bottom of their heart, sincerely!”

Ling Long gave a faint smile. “A deception from the heart. A sincere lie?”

Yin Yin: “……”

Based on the principle of ‘saying more and making more mistakes’, Yin Yin decided to wisely choose to remain silent.

At the same time, she reflected deeply in her heart. Why are you so stupid! What do you think Ling Long do for a living ah, jackass! How dare you talk about these things at the Spider Web headquarters! If this isn’t looking for death, then what is?!

Ling Long looked at Yin Yin for a while and saw that her expression was very firm. He sighed and said, “It’s fine. If you don’t want to say it, just forget it.”

Yin Yin’s heart suddenly felt cold for no reason and spoke hastily, “No, that’s not it!”

“Then what is it?”

“It’s-…… it’s-……. it’s Li Li. He is afraid of me being bored so he’s telling me a story!”

Ling Long: “……”

Yin Yin herself felt that this excuse was so stupid, and she lowered her head in shame as she couldn’t think of something better.

Suddenly a warm hand was rested on the top of her head. Ling Long’s chilly voice came from above, “Don’t say what you don’t want to say, but don’t lie to me.”

Yin Yin’s heart jumped again, and felt that her cheeks were burning more severely. “……Mm.”

Ling Long patted Yin Yin’s head again then took back his hand. “What are you asking me just now?”

“Huh? Ah!” Yin Yin was interrupted earlier and she almost forgot about it. “I heard that the Ichneumon Wasps is very restless recently. Did you go to deal with this matter today?”

“En.” Ling Long nodded. “After we fell off from the cliff, the Spider Web suddenly fell into chaos. Ichneumon Wasps took advantage of the opportunity and robbed a lot of our business and repeatedly came to our door to provoke.”

“Too rampant!” Yin Yin was furious and stood up. “If you don’t teach them a lesson, they wouldn’t know why the crab was walking sideways (why someone is dominant)!”

Seeing Yin Yin’s appearance, Ling Long couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s not a day or two that the Ichneumon Wasps see us as an eyesore. They must be very sorry that I came back alive.”

“It’s really unbearable. Who can tolerate this?!” Yin Yin’s small fist was clenched. “We have to find a way to teach them a lesson!”

Ling Long thought for a while and said, “It’s not the first time Ichneumon Wasps provoked us. It’s annoying to play like this all the time. We have to think of a way to avoid future troubles.”

Well, that’s right, there will be future troubles. Yin Yin stroked her chin in thought.

Suddenly, the little light bulb on her head lit up. “I’ve got it!”

Ling Long looked at Yin Yin’s bright eyes and chuckled lightly. “When it comes to wicked ideas, you really have an inexhaustible supply.”

“Hehe.” Yin Yin smiled embarrassedly and then told Ling Long such-and-such about her thoughts. At the end, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is it a bit too cruel?”

Ling Long blinked and said, “It’s a bit cruel, but it’s just right to deal with them.”

With Ling Long’s approval, Yin Yin immediately wagged her tail and said, “Then I’ll go and make a detailed battle plan now!”

Yin Yin ran out happily. Seeing Yin Yin’s figure far away, Hongwei stepped into the room and knelt in front of Ling Long.

“Leader, do you need to continue to investigate about what Miss Yin had said?”

Ling Long frowned and contemplated for a long time. “Let it be. When she wants to say it, she will tell me.”

“Yes.”

“Hongwei, this matter can’t be disclose to anyone, do you got it?”

“This subordinate knows. Please rest assured, Leader.”

“Mm.” Ling Long waved his hand. “You should withdraw first.”

Hongwei paused and then hesitated. “Leader, the Ichneumon Wasps matter, is it really up to Miss Yin to handle it?”

Ling Long’s mouth curled up. “En. Her method is pretty good.”

The smile on Ling Long’s face blinded Hongwei’s titanium-alloy-spider-eyes. “Uh…… this subordinate will retire now.”

After Hongwei flashed out of the room, Ling Long also followed and goes out. He looked up at the blue sky above his head with deep eyes.

*******

Half a month later, a long line was slowly moving forward on a bleak path in Xiaoguan (an important gateway to the northwest of Guanzhong).

After a rustling autumn breeze, the yellow sand on the ground was brought up and a huge cloud of dust rose. The yellow leaves of the roadside trees on both sides were also swept into the yellow sand by the autumn wind. They whirled a few times in the air before slowly falling back to the ground.

But the team is still moving in an orderly manner.

The team is full of powerful men, equipped with weapons around their waists, which seem to have a deterrent effect. A brown horse with a box on its back was walking in the middle of the line. Six sturdy men walked around the box, protecting it tightly. A banner with ‘Far East Escort Agency’ was waving in the autumn breeze.

“Everyone, go faster. After passing Xiaoguan, it’s not far from the capital!” A big man with a beard walked at the front of the team and shouted at the people behind him.

Everyone responded, and the team was quiet again, but the speed of their feet was indeed much faster than before.

A black robe passed by and a man suddenly appeared in front of the team, blocking everyone’s path.

The man was wearing a black tunic, his face was covered with a black cloth, and he was holding a black three-foot long sword in his hand, his whole body exuding fierce murderous intent.

Everyone in the team looks as though they’re confronting a formidable enemy.

“Who are you?” Asked the bearded man in a rough voice.

“Who are all of you?” The man asked calmly, his voice awfully low and pleasant.

“We are from the Far East Escort Agency!” The bearded man replied loudly with a hint of pride in his words.

The man smiled and said, “Then I naturally came to rob the goods.”

……

As the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. If you have too many goods, you will always encounter robbers.

To hear someone came to rob goods, it was not a surprise to the bearded man. However, the other party’s righteous attitude made him a little confused.

The Far East Escort Agency is the most prestigious escort agency in the Jianghu. And since the establishment of the agency it has never lost any consignments. With a slight meaningful glance at the bandits, they will walk around when they see the flags of their Far East Escort Agency.

So when the bearded man uttered the four words of ‘Far East Escort Agency’, he expected that the blind robber in front of him would be scared to the core. But the other party not only did not run away, but also confidently said that he was here to rob.

The bearded man felt that it’s not that he couldn’t take a hint, but that he didn’t have any eyes at all.

“How courageous!” The bearded man shouted, “To even dare to rob goods from our Far East Escort Agency, are you tired of living?”

The man looked at the bearded man and did not speak. He just flew over and stabbed him with a sword.

In a moment, sands and stones flew and the world changed color. The man flourished the long sword in his hand like wind and water, forging ahead with the vigor and vitality of a tiger. The people of the Far East Escort Agency were dazzled, it was too much for their eyes to take in.

After the man finally finished a complicated set of sword moves, all the members of the Far East Escort Agency had fallen to the ground.

The man put away his long sword, looked at the defeated opponents and asked, “How is my ‘Forty-two Ways of Exorcising Evil’ sword technique?”

It’s a pity that the defeated opponents were all busy crying in pain and couldn’t spare time to answer him.

The man uninterestingly flattened his mouth, obviously dissatisfied with these useless big men. He walked to the box in the middle and opened it. There was a smaller box inside, which looked very valuable.

The man took out the small box and opened it. Inside was a night pearl the size of a goose egg, which was shining even in the daytime.

The man nodded his head in satisfaction, closed the lid again, and was about to turn around and leave, when his calf was hugged tightly. The man frowned slightly, and lowered his head to look at the person under his feet.

The bearded man hugged the man’s calf desperately, and tried his best to look up at him. “This is a birthday gift given by Vassal King Wu Zhenyu to the Grand Prince. If you rob it, do you know that you will be in big trouble?”       

The man said coldly, “It is your escort agency that will be in big trouble.”

The bearded man chocked and said persistently, “Dare I ask what is this hero’s name?”

The man smiled this time, the corners of his eyes curving up nicely. “Haven’t you heard that sentence?”

“What are you talking about?” The bearded man asked honestly.

“Do good deeds without leaving a name, and do bad deeds without leaving a name even more.”

“……”

After speaking, the man kicked off the bearded brother who was holding his calf, performed a beautiful lightness skill, and ran away.

The autumn wind is bleak, just like the mood of the escorts of the Far East Escort Agency at this time.

Because of this incident, the bearded man drew a painful conclusion –if you want to hold on to someone, you must hold their thighs!

*******

The fact that the Far East Escort Agency had lost a consignment spread throughout the whole Jianghu the next day. And as a result, the man in black who did bad things without leaving a name and his fancy ‘Forty-two Ways of Exorcising Evil’ sword technique became popular in the Jianghu.

After the Grand Prince learned that the night pearl he keeps thinking about had been robbed by a man who they didn’t even know the appearance, he was furious and wanted to issue an arrest warrant all over the country, saying that he wouldn’t stop until he had torn that man into pieces!

The poor illustrator didn’t even know the criminal’s face, so he had to draw a dark person based on the description of the guards of the Far East Escort Agency.

As soon as the imperial notice was posted, the people couldn’t wait to hide their black clothes at the bottom of their boxes. In the following month, no passerby in black was seen on the street.

This incident was later jokingly called ‘the world has no darkness’ by people in the Jianghu.

Just when everyone thought that this man, who recently ranked first on the Jianghu Hot List, was going to disappear from the Jianghu thereafter, he did another earth-shattering thing!

The newly made delicious crab roe buns in the second prince’s room were secretly eaten by someone! There is not one left!
