Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan’s footsteps paused, and her ears twitched when someone mentioned the Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins.
“I wonder how powerful the other party was to wipe out the Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins in one night. Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins has many a.s.sa.s.sins, even top-notch ones.”
“Who knows? Some speculate that the Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins offended someone in power, which was why it got destroyed.”
“l heard a powerful force in the past supported the Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins. Now, it seems the force behind the Pavilion of the a.s.sa.s.sins is only so.”
“The Pavilion of the a.s.sa.s.sins might’ve had a powerful supporter, but someone still managed to destroy it, which means the people that destroyed it were even stronger.”
“Someone said the Pavilion of the a.s.sa.s.sins is in ruins. It looks like it got struck by lightning and burned to the ground.”
Su Binglan’s lips curled into a faint smile when she heard these things. When she turned to look at the people discussing the Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins, she noticed they had swords. They looked like wanderers in the martial arts world.
They suddenly felt a potent pressure while discussing the Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins. Since they were from the martial world, their perception of danger was more substantial than ordinary people’s.
They frowned, stopped talking, and looked toward the pressure they sensed. Of course, they saw people coming and going, but most importantly, they saw a beautiful young lady who resembled a fairy and widened their eyes.
They wondered how such a beautiful young lady could exist in such a small place. However, they instinctively sensed danger and dared not look into it too much.
Still, they would not know the young lady had destroyed the Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins. They would probably feel scared to death if they knew.
Soon, Su Binglan arrived at the blacksmith shop. She had drawn some blueprints and asked the shop owner to help forge some weapons. She had everything prepared this time.
She had drawn these blueprints herself with some modern weapon attributes.
Although they were melee weapons, they were mightier than ordinary ones. She also designed arrows differently from ordinary arrows. Although the bows and crossbows she drew were small, they had more range and force. Moreover, one could shoot them without much strength. They were similar to hidden weapons.
She also designed blades and guns. She designed her blades and spears with chains and hidden attributes.
Su Binglan had gone to town to order these things when Luo Jin’an left to investigate things. The weapons she designed were extraordinary, and forging them was challenging for the blacksmith. Moreover, she had ordered many of them, so the blacksmith needed more time.
It was not Su Binglan’s first time going to the blacksmith, so the shop owner saw her as soon as she arrived. The shop owner’s surname was Zhou. He was very enthusiastic when he saw the young lady. “Miss Su, you’re here.”
“Shopkeeper Zhou, have you finished forging my previous orders?”
The man happily said, “Yes, I have. They’re inside. I’ll get someone to bring them out.’
Su Binglan had ordered many things, so Shopkeeper Zhou arranged for his workers to bring them out for the young lady to inspect.
Su Binglan checked her items and confirmed they were perfect. Then she completed her payment and asked Shopkeeper Zhou to task his workers to transport the weapons to her carriage at the shop’s entrance.
After getting onto the carriage, Su Binglan placed everything in her pocket dimension. Although there was a box on the carriage, she could not put her items into her dimension since she was still in the blacksmith shop.
Still, it was okay since she entered her carriage before putting the weapons into her pocket dimension.
After sorting her things, she continued walking around town, bought some things, and made more preparations for her journey. Soon after, she went to Blue Mountain Academy to see Mr. Kong.
When she arrived at the study, she saw Mr. Kong reading some information.
However, he immediately burned the paper after he finished reading it. Then Su Binglan appeared and took the burning paper before putting the fire out.
Mr. Kong was shocked when he saw Su Binglan. “M-Miss Su!”
Attendant Lin only stood helplessly outside the study. Soon after, he walked in and lowered his head, saying, “Mr. Kong, I couldn’t stop Miss Su.”
He wanted to stop her, but she barged in. Moreover, Su Binglan was Luo Jin’an’s wife and the person he cared about most. Attendant Lin had no choice but to be respectful toward Su Binglan and would not dare to stop her.
None could enter the study, but Su Binglan could.
Mr. Kong sighed. It was not that he disobeyed Luo Jin’an’s words, but Su Binglan figured things out herself.
Su Binglan looked at the information on the paper, and her face turned pale. “His cold poison acted up, and he has been unconscious since?”
Her hands trembled. Her ability to control her emotions had always been robust, but they surged in her heart at this moment. It was like a wave, overwhelming and drowning her.
“How is he now?” Su Binglan’s voice trembled as she spoke. Although she tried to control her emotions, she could not do it so easily this time.
Mr. Kongs face stiffened, and he did not know how to answer her. “H-His condition is severe, but he didn’t want us to tell you. A doctor is treating him, and his condition should be stable, I-I didn’t know about it either until just now.”
Su Binglan took a deep breath and said, “1 understand. I’ll go and find him immediately. Tell me his exact location.
Mr. Kong noticed her reddened eyes and determined expression. He could not say much else and picked up a brush to draw a map. Then he said, “This is the map to the border that Master Jin’an drew previously. He’s there.”
Su Binglan quickly memorized the map and said, “I’ll remember it.”
Mr. Kong burned the map immediately since he could not reveal his master’s location to anyone else. Mr. Kong and Attendant Lin were highly cautious in this aspect.
Su Binglan immediately ran out, but Mr. Kong knew she was going to the border and wanted to follow. However, he remembered what Princess Lan had said before and knew he should stay in Tenghe Town to guard the academy. Therefore, he could not follow Su Binglan to the Great Desolate Region. Still, he knew his master would be okay with Su Binglan there.
Mr. Kong was worried about his master but was not a doctor. He knew he would raise the chances of exposing his master’s location if he followed Su Binglan.
After Su Binglan reached home, she told her family she would leave and set off with Blue Two, Blue Three, and Lin Zheng. They did not even have time to eat lunch.
Of course, Su Binglan had already stored plenty of food in her pocket dimension. It was not a problem for the group of four to eat and fill their stomachs on their journey.
Still, the Great Desolate Region was far because the entire Chu Country occupied an extensive area. Therefore, Su Binglan and the others rode their horses at full speed and did not rest much.
It took more than half a month to reach the border. Along the way, they also experienced dangers. Still, no one had gotten hurt. After all, the group could face anything with Su Binglan around..
