Along the way, Xu Bai hurried back to the Yin Posthouse.

In the beginning, the contents of his conversation with Yun Zihai were also thrown to the back of his mind.

“Everything is based on the progress bar. Everything else can be postponed. “Sitting in front of the giant tree, Xu Bai stared at it without blinking.

While he was checking the progress bar, a woman in ordinary clothes was rushing toward the Yin Posthouse in the suburbs not far from the Yin Posthouse.

The woman was very young, about twenty years old. Although she was dressed normally, she was very beautiful.

However, if one looked at the woman’s hands, they would find that there were calluses between her fingers. Clearly, she was trained.

The woman had a pair of silver thorns hanging from her waist. Under the sunlight, they shone with a cold light.

As the Ninth Princess ‘personal maid, Qing Xue, who was at Level Seven, had always followed the Ninth Princess’ lead.

In fact, if she was really a personal guard and maid, her strength would be far beyond Level Seven. However, many things in the royal family could not be judged by common sense.

She was loyal to the Ninth Princess.

This time, the Ninth Princess had sent her here not only to investigate the Spring Rain Pavilion, but also to find out more about the Jianghu man.

The secret letter was delivered to the Ninth Princess by another member of the royal family. The contents did not mention anything about Yang Chang of the Spring Rain Pavilion.

What was the reason? Actually, it was obvious.

The Imperial Family was already famous for their scheming. Everyone’s words could only be trusted half, and the other nine and a half could not be trusted at all.

Only by seeing and understanding it with his own eyes would it be true.

Even though the Ninth Princess had found out the real reason behind the Spring Rain Pavilion incident, she still seemed to be very interested in that Jianghu man.

Qing Xue had also come for this reason.

“At most two days, I will be able to reach the Yin Posthouse. Once I reach the Yin Posthouse, I will rest for a while before going to Sheng County to investigate.”Qing Xue thought to himself as he rode on his horse.

She knew very well that the ninth princess wanted to recruit him. She had to investigate the identity and background of that person. Of course, if she could not recruit him, there would not be any other conflicts. After all, the ninth princess had already told her the details.

The members of the royal family had to be cautious. There was no such thing as being killed directly if the recruitment failed. This kind of thing would always only exist in fantasy.

Even a small mistake could be easily discovered by the opponent. Moreover, after a little use, the weakness would be infinitely magnified.

“Sigh, compared to the other members of the royal family, the ninth princess is still too kind.”

Thinking of this, Qing Xue quickened her pace again.

As a personal maid, she knew a little about many things, especially horsemanship.

They sped up and got closer and closer to Sheng County.

Just as she was about to reach Sheng County, a person suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her path.

Qing Xue tightened the reins and stopped the horse. Her eyes were cold as she stared at the person in front of her.

This person was dressed in black and wore a bamboo hat on his head. There was also a black veil under the bamboo hat, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.

However, there was a long saber hanging at his waist, which was particularly eye-catching.

“Who are you?” Qing Xue pulled out the silver thorn from her waist, her words filled with killing intent.

The black-clothed man did not speak. He reached his hand into his waist and raised a handful of copper coins. A unique hidden weapon technique was used to scatter them towards Qing Xue.

Qing Xue’s eyes widened as she waved the silver thorn in her hand, picking the copper coin off.

At this moment, the man in black moved again. He drew the long saber at his waist and rushed towards Qing Xue.

The two sides instantly engaged in a battle, and the sounds of soldiers clashing rose and fell.

In addition to his superb saber skills, the man in black also threw out a handful of copper coins from time to time. His hidden weapon technique was also extremely brilliant.

Moreover, every move was filled with killing intent. The goal was to kill Qing

Xue.

“What an exquisite hidden weapon.” Qing Xue frowned.

Her strength was at Level Seven, and so was the other party.

However, on the contrary, she was proficient in silver thorns, while the other party was proficient in saber techniques and hidden weapons.

As the two of them came to an equal, she gradually fell into a disadvantage and was on the verge of losing.

Due to a moment of carelessness, the long saber slashed across her right arm and left a wound.

“Giddyup!”

Qing Xue’s reaction was very fast. She turned around and rode her horse, wanting to escape from here.

She knew very well that she could not defeat the other party, so there was no need for her to fight to the death here. After all, she had a mission.

The sound of horse hooves rose and fell. The horse gradually moved away from the black-clothed man.

The man in black took a step and chased after Qing Xue. His speed was not any slower than Qing Xue’s.

Seeing that it was about to get close, Qing Xue suddenly turned around and scattered a handful of white ash.

The man in black stopped and waved his sleeves to disperse the white ash in front of him.

At this time, he had already missed the opportunity. Qing Xue had already run away and disappeared.

The man in black stood in place as if he was thinking. After a moment, he disappeared into the wilderness.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

For the past two days, Xu Bai had been sitting in front of the giant tree, staring at it intently, just to fill up the progress bar as soon as possible.

Other than his daily life, there would be people bringing new things over every day. He would also take the time to take a look. Unfortunately, there was still no new discovery. The progress bar did not find anything new.

Other than the giant tree in front of him, there was only the book he got from the bookstore. At present, he only had these two progress bars to work on.

Without a new progress bar, he was not very interested.

Fortunately, today was different. It was a new beginning.

The reason was that the progress bar was almost full..
