Chapter 945:

Shisu coldly snorted. While she didnt completely trust Robb, she often operated in the coastal regions and had heard some things about Western foreigners. It was said that they were quite fond of doing business, negotiating deals for just about anything. Robbs words somewhat aligned with this notion.

However, it didnt mean she fully believed Robb. She never considered Western firearms a real threat. In the eyes of a true martial artist, firearms were just decorations, and no one could expect to hit a skilled practitioner with one.

Robb was merely a passerby who had given her a lift. A tolerable one at that.

There was no need for her to confront him, so she said in a solemn tone, Youd better leave now and stop following me.

Robb chuckled, Not only am I staying, but I also want to make a deal with you.

Hmm? she responded.

Robb continued, As you may have realized, youre in grave danger right now. When you wandered through the estate of the Qiantang Sect earlier, who knows how many people saw you? There are plenty of clever folks in this martial world, and they might have had the same idea as me. They think that following you can lead them to Xuanyuan Black Iron or related information. More cautious individuals might be lurking in the shadows, watching you. But some bolder ones might jump out and attack you directly, capture you, and interrogate you for information. The result would be the same as if they followed you.

Robb went on, So, Id like to make a deal with you. Ill protect you. You lead me to Xuan Iron, and then we can discuss how to divide it. What do you think?

Her eyebrows deeply furrowed as she listened. Her long rabbit ears twitched as she seemed to be listening carefully. After a few seconds, she sneered, Nonsense! Besides you, who would be watching me? Hmph! I dont need to make any deal with you at all.

With that statement, she stomped her foot on the ground, and suddenly, she floated lightly into the air. With a swift jump, she landed on the rooftop nearby, then, in another leap, she reached another rooftop in the distance. In the wind, her voice echoed, Gold haired Foreigner, hurry back to your own kingdom. Dont meddle in these waters. With just your firearm, you wont make it in the martial world of Big Tang.

Robb couldnt help but chuckle, thinking, The mystical arts and techniques of Big Tang are indeed fascinating.

The three groups continued walking, with Shisu leading, Robb following, and the distant trailing group maintaining their distance. It wasnt clear how much time had passed, but Shisu suddenly came to a halt.

She began to survey her surroundings with caution, and Robb wasnt worried. He continued to use his stealth and even deliberately approached her slowly. Meanwhile, the group trailing from afar, upon seeing that the paper crane in the sky had stopped moving, knew that Shisu had come to a halt and immediately stood still.

Shisu looked around and couldnt see anything unusual. She then listened intently, but there was no sound to be heard. She relaxed and, on a gravel pile by the banks of the Qiantang River, squatted down.

Robb, who was observing closely, saw Shisu move a large pile of cobblestones aside. Beneath them, there was a small underground cavity. She reached into the cavity, rummaged around, and when she withdrew her hand, she held a package in her grasp.

This package was about the size of a persons head, with an irregular oval shape.

Robb didnt even need to look inside to guess that this item was none other than the Xuanyuan Black Iron. He now understood that the Qiantang Sect hadnt originally kept the Xuanyuan Black Iron within their sect but had secretly buried it by the river outside the city. Before the sects leader passed away, they had used the sects secret code to mark the location of this item on the ground.

What Shisu had wiped away earlier was likely the secret code that indicated the location of this item.

However, Shisu thought her small action had deceived the constable, but in reality, the constable had been pretending to take notes while discreetly monitoring her actions. The action of wiping the ground had been seen clearly and unmistakably, leading the constable to notify others to follow.

Robb couldnt help but shake his head. The world of martial arts is truly full of deception and intrigue! It appeared that Shisus experience in the martial world was still a bit lacking.
