9: Being targeted?

"Moreover, that young man just now, his martial Dao is probably not to be underestimated."

"Looking at the Aura around him, his martial Dao Realm is very likely comparable to Young Miss's."

Hearing the two uncles in front of her praise Lu Xuan, a hint of shock appeared deep within the young woman's beautiful eyes.

What!

Although she knew this young man had an extraordinary Aura, she didn't expect that even his martial Dao Realm was not inferior to hers?

One must know that she was currently at the Perfection of the Refining Flesh Realm, only a step away from the Bone Refinement Realm.

With such Aptitude, even in Fu City, she was considered a Genius.

Today, she didn't expect to encounter a young Genius comparable to her in a small town.

Indeed, Father was right; the outside world is full of hidden Dragons, and Geniuses are as numerous as carps crossing the river.

"Young Miss, it's getting late. You should rest early. Tomorrow, we still have to travel back to Qingyun County."

"Presumably, the Master has been waiting for Young Miss in Qingyun County for a long time."

Besides this table still secretly discussing Lu Xuan.

In another corner of the inn, there were four men around a table, their gazes also fixed on the direction Lu Xuan had departed.

All four of them wore simple cloth clothes, and on the table, besides some food and drink, there were also four somewhat tattered broadswords.

One of the men leaned towards a tall, burly man and whispered.

"Big Brother, that kid just now seems to have an extraordinary background, seemingly from a prominent family."

Upon hearing this, the tall, burly man cast his gaze towards another man.

"Third Brother, you just went out to check, how was that kid?"

The man questioned by the boss immediately understood and reported the information he had just gathered.

"Boss, this kid is a bit strange?"

Hearing Third Brother say this, the big man looked puzzled, his tone somewhat grave.

"Hmm? Third Brother, what do you mean by that? How many people did that kid bring?"

"No, Big Brother, you're overthinking it."

"This kid only brought two people. Third Brother, I even tried bumping into that big, foolish guy who was watching the horses, and I found that his lower body was unstable, all show and no substance; he hadn't practiced martial arts at all."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other three exchanged glances simultaneously.

The thin man, who had not spoken a word until now, also spoke.

"So, that kid only has that one guard who runs errands for him."

"It's just that I don't know how strong he is, Big Brother. I think it's still better to be careful."

"Oh, Second Brother, you're overthinking it. That kid only has one guard.

We have four people here. As long as we plan properly, this matter is settled."

"It's not like we haven't encountered such fools before, foolishly bringing a few weak guards, and didn't we just butcher them?"

The speaker was the man who had first asked the question. He was now full of excitement, as if he had encountered some great fortune.

As the eldest of the four, seeing the disagreement among the other three, he pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

"It's not easy to find a fat sheep we can take advantage of. In my opinion, we can make a move on this one."

There was nothing they could do. They, the brothers, had been observing in Shili Town for many days.

The people coming and going were either large, influential groups, or people from the Jianghu, none of whom they could afford to provoke.

Then there were also some poor wretches waiting to die, even poorer than them.

Those with large numbers, like the table opposite, happened to have the fat sheep they were eyeing.

The fat sheep they were targeting was precisely the group Lu Xuan had looked at earlier.

Especially that woman with the white veil, the brothers were drooling over her.

Although the woman's face was covered, it was just self-deception.

Even a fool could see the stunning beauty beneath the woman's veil.

If it weren't for the well-equipped weapons on their side and the dozen or so burly men, all looking fierce and menacing.

They would have already been plotting against that woman.

"Then we will follow Big Brother's opinion."

The three of them, seeing their Big Brother speak, no longer had any objections.

After all, their Big Brother was the strongest among the four, a master of the Skin Refinement Realm.

Furthermore, they were already on the verge of destitution. If they didn't make a move soon, they would truly starve to death.

It was not easy to find a fat sheep they could take advantage of, so a little risk was fine.

"Alright, Third Brother, take our two horses and feed them well, make sure they're in top shape.

Once that kid leaves Shili Town tomorrow, we'll seize the opportunity to act."

Originally, the four of them had four horses, but on the way to Shili Town, because they were truly impoverished.

Two of the horses were slaughtered on the spot by them to fill their stomachs, otherwise, they really wouldn't have survived to Shili Town.

"Wait, Big Brother, I still have some good stuff here that should be able to deal with that kid's guard."

"Oh, Second Brother, what is it?"

The big man looked at the small cloth bag in his Second Brother's hand, which seemed to contain something.

"Big Brother, these are some poisonous powders. As long as Big Brother scatters them in front of the guard protecting that kid when you act tomorrow, he will lose the ability to resist."

"Hehehe!"

After listening to his Second Brother's explanation, the big man couldn't help but burst into laughter, then whispered.

"Good, very good. With this bag from Second Brother, tomorrow will be foolproof. That kid won't be able to escape even if he had wings."

Late at night!

In a quiet and simple guest room, Lu Xuan was sitting on a wooden chair by the table.

The table was already set with several meat dishes, enough for five or six people.

However, in just a short while, Lu Xuan had consumed all of them.

And even with so much food in his stomach, for Lu Xuan, it was only about an eight-tenths full feeling.

No wonder the ancients said, 'Poor scholars, rich martial artists!'

Without the help of a large amount of money, it would probably be difficult for martial cultivators to even eat.

Lu Xuan's mind moved, and the System panel immediately appeared before his eyes.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Blood Refinement Realm (Perfection)

Cultivation Technique: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 1/9

Points: 1

Looking at the 1 point, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling a bit helpless.

As his strength increased, the demand for points also grew higher and higher.

This one point was generated from the residual medicinal effect of the Blood Ginseng he ate last time.

It seemed he could only pin his hopes on that legendary item, otherwise, obtaining System points would be harder than ascending to the heavens.

Lu Xuan, still filled with emotions, didn't know at this moment that he had already been targeted by others.

However, even if Lu Xuan knew, he wouldn't put those ants in his eyes.

Early the next morning.

The carriage Lu Xuan was riding in slowly drove out of Shili Town, then disappeared into the horizon.

However, not long after, two horses also appeared, looking like they were rushing on their way.

Following the tracks left by Lu Xuan's carriage, the two horses moved at great speed, kicking up clouds of dust along the way!
