Three Swordsmen Convene
At Canhu Town in Jiangnan.
Canhu Town was famous for raising silkworms and because it was a town people had to pa.s.s by to reach Luo Sword Manor at Taihu Sword Island. As soon as there were a plethora of people from the martial world gathered there, it was bound to be messy, with factions from everywhere crowding there.
A youth drooling at the sight of a girl raising silkworms said, "Hey, Good Looking, how about keeping me company on my journey? I'll make sure to shower you with love, and make sure you have plenty of white fluff. Ow! Why did you hit me? Hey, stop! Not my face!"
The youth had every visual cue suggesting he was a long-time lecher. Not even planting a big hand mark on his face could reduce the lecherous look he inherently had. It wasn't common to see someone with his looks among the various visiting groups.
Usually, hooligans who took beatings as he did would swear they'd come back to challenge her tomorrow or make empty threats. Some would threaten to call someone to destroy her shop, but he'd vanish for years. This youth, however, walked around with an upward curve to his lips. He continued strolling and making suggestive eye gestures. He remarked, "I love that temper of yours. Gimme a kiss."
They called him the number one sc.u.m, Lord Zha Pi. He probably scared her enough to make her consider taking him serious. He laughed and lifted her chin with a finger, acting as if he completed his mission and was moving onto his next target. He kept up his flirting antics wherever he went. Howbeit, his eyes were darting back and forth.
Bai Yeshuang, Zhapi and the team of female constables didn't need to change out of uniform, allowing them to take main roads and switch horses at stations along the way. Ming Feizhen didn't want them to have a high profile; however, that was exactly what they did. People from the martial world did everything they could to avoid the group.
Bai Yeshuang's squad appeared two days and a night ahead of the Emperor's escort. Once they entered the city, she reached out to official military teams. The troops who were on the delivery mission had spread their forces out to search for Shen Yiren. The issue was the lack of a leader, so Bai Yeshuang acted as a coordinator.
