Luo Qing and her mother had already left for the day, and Luo Lei had settled down in the capital, while Luo Liya was studying in the Royal Academy. Although Luo Yan was usually busy with official affairs, she would occasionally have some time to herself, so when she faced the desolate manor, she would probably feel some regret.

Luo Liya sighed. Although this half a month might delay her cultivation, this trip was not in vain since she was able to accompany Luo Yan.

A month later, the Royal Academy would officially close for the holidays. All the students would have to return to their homes, no one was allowed to stay in the academy.

Everyone carried their bags and left the academy with a happy expression. Luo Liya looked at the crowd and maintained a faint smile on her face.

Luo Li Ya, Wu Kong, Fu Dongming, Zi Ruo and Yue Ling were on the same path. Ye Yingtian lived in Wu City, so he had no choice but to bid farewell to them at the entrance of the academy.

"I told you to come to my house, but you guys didn't. What a disappointment!" "This will spoil the fun!"

However, they all knew in their hearts that Ye Yingtian was actually reluctant to part with them. After being together for so many days, they were already used to meeting each other every day. Although it was only the fifteenth day of vacation, it was inevitable that they would miss each other as long as they did not see each other for one day.

"No, we'll meet again after the new year anyways, there's no need to brood over it. We'll part ways here." The others waved goodbye to him as well. Ye Ying let out a long sigh as her face was tainted with an unusual color. She turned around and carried her bag on her back as she got into her carriage.

The sounds of horses galloping could be heard. Luo Liya looked at the carriage and twitched her lips. She turned her head and whispered into the moon spirit's ear, "Let's go."

Everyone nodded their heads, and they boarded the carriage that Lori had prepared for them. Zi Ruo was leading the thousand li horse, and the rest of the people were all sitting in it. The carriage was extremely large and luxurious, and the interior was decorated in a new style.

"Why isn't your second brother going back with you?" the moon spirit asked when she had settled down.

"Why did he go back with me? He has already established his own sect. With a son and a daughter, there is no way he would think of returning to his hometown in River City. " Luo Liya's tone was very light, as if she was talking about something of no importance.

Yue Ling shrugged her shoulders and no longer spoke. After all, this was someone's family matter. She had also made insinuations against Lorya many times before. No matter how many things Lori had done that moved her, she was still unmoved.

Perhaps the shadow of childhood was too deep for Lorraine to make up for now, the moon spirit thought.

Compared to the military coach that they had ridden on before, this carriage was much slower. It would take them around three to four days to arrive at the Snow Village, and then it would take them five to six days to reach River City.

It was not worth it to spend two-thirds of the time on the road.

However, thinking that if she wanted to go home faster, she would have to circulate her true energy. This made her even more reluctant to waste the true energy that she had obtained from training in such a small matter.

After half a day of travelling, they finally arrived at a nearby town when it was dark. They found a relatively clean inn to stay at.

Everyone had suffered from the bumpy ride and felt that something was wrong with their way of walking. Especially Zi Ruo, who was frowning slightly all the time. It seemed like the situation wasn't looking good.

After a quick meal, everyone returned to their own rooms to rest, leaving only Luo Liya and Wu Kong in the hall. Because of Wu Kong's large appetite, she ate a lot, and for some reason, Luo Liya didn't want to leave too quickly, so she slowed down her pace. Wu Kong had already eaten two bowls of rice, but she still hadn't finished one bowl.

"Sister, eat this!" With a radiant expression, Wu Kong placed a piece of very delicious meat into Luo Liya's bowl. Luo Liya was stunned for a moment, but she could not refuse, so she could only curl her lips and accept, "Thank you."

"You're welcome!" Wu Kong seemed to be in a good mood as he spoke loudly. Loria watched him out of the corner of her eye as she ate.

Wu Kong's body had undergone a tremendous change in the past few months. He was originally handsome, but after a few months of polishing, he had become more and more handsome, a pair of sharp eyes but not ruthless, and his facial features had become more and more exquisite and beautiful. Previously, she hadn't realized that Wu Kong had a mole on his forehead.

But Wu Kong acted as if he didn't care about those female students at all. If someone offered to be nice to him, he wouldn't even glance at them before rejecting them. Then, as if nothing had happened, he ran over to Luo Liya and became the loyal little Wu Kong.

Luo Liya was immersed in her own thoughts, and did not realize that she had turned from a peek into a public peep. Wu Kong was already staring at her blankly, but when she returned to her senses and saw Wu Kong's expression, her face immediately flushed red.

"Elder sister, why are you blushing? Is there something on my face that you were looking at? "

Wu Kong asked sillily, Luo Liya lowered her head even more, eating while stammering, "It's nothing, I was distracted just now."

Wu Kong uttered a long "Oh". Just as he was about to speak, his ears suddenly twitched and his face immediately turned serious. He said with a stern voice, "Who is the one who is secretly watching us?"

After she said that, Luo Liya immediately raised her head, carefully looking around, "What's going on?"

"I just heard a sound and felt a pair of eyes peeking at us." Wu Kong said honestly. He did not know why, but his recent reaction was getting more and more sensitive. He could even sense that someone was peeping at them.

Luo Liya understood Wu Kong the best. She knew that he must be right, so she said in a hoarse voice, "Who exactly are you? Please quickly show yourself, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

Just as Luo Liya finished her sentence, a loud sound was heard. The floor under their feet had all cracked open, and a few black figures jumped out from the ground. They held bright steel blades in their hands, and looked at Luo Liya and Wu Kong with sharp eyes.

Wu Kong quickly protected Luo Liya behind him. His expression immediately became serious, no longer having any signs of a jest.

Behind the black-clothed men, a pot-bellied man slowly walked out. It was the shopkeeper that had received them earlier.

"So it's a hacking shop. I was wrong about you!" Luo Liya's eyes were filled with anger as she stared at the shopkeeper. Her face was filled with rage.

"I didn't expect the two of you to be so capable, being able to avoid my Free and Unrestrained Powder, but …" You guys won't be able to be complacent for long, I don't believe that I can't control you all with so many blades! "

The storekeeper waved his hand. Without waiting for Luo Liya and Wu Kong to speak, the black-cloaked men rushed towards them.

Luo Liya could feel the strong Zhen Qi coming from those men in black, they didn't look like ordinary assassins.

"Who the hell are you people?" she asked, her eyes darting around. Wukong was standing to one side, ready to protect Loria at any moment.

"The person who killed you." The storekeeper slowly spoke, his face was also full of malice. Seeing Wu Kong standing beside her, he added, "No, it's the people who killed you."

Luo Li Ya clenched her fists and turned her head to look at Wu Kong. "Wu Kong, you're not poisoned, right?"

Wu Kong shook his head. "I don't have it. Sister, cut the crap with them. I don't believe that we can't beat them."

As he spoke, Wu Kong attacked one of the men in black. His momentum was very sharp, and the man in black also released his true qi, clashing against each other like a raging fire, and the other assassin nearby wanted to help his accomplice, but he was seen by Luo Liya. She immediately summoned her own tail ant, which instantly landed on the assassin's face, and with a scream, he fell to the ground.

With a wave of his hand, all the assassins behind him all crowded in front of Luo Liya. In the nick of time, she immediately summoned her true energy, and the gathered true energy of the people in black clashed with Luo Liya's true energy. The entire inn was instantly filled with fire, and as bright as the day, Wu Kong also helped Luo Liya after finishing off the man in black.

Fortunately, their combined Zhen Qi wasn't as thick as Luo Liya's and Wu Kong's. After a few moments of deadlock, they were at a disadvantage. Their bodies uncontrollably fell backwards, and the sound of tables and chairs breaking was extremely painful. The chanting voices intertwined with each other.

That storekeeper was also not spared. He was shaken by Luo Liya's zhen Qi to the ground and rolled on the ground, spitting out blood.

"Speak!" Who sent you? Also, what is Free and Unrestrained Powder? Otherwise, I will take your life now. " Luo Liya walked up to him and grabbed his shirt, and asked with a fierce look on her face.

The shopkeeper immediately revealed a terrified expression. His eyes were wide open as his hands trembled non-stop, "I …" I said... I said... It was Gao Ying, the assistant minister, who bribed us to intercept you here, it's not closed … This has nothing to do with us.

Hearing this, Luo Liya froze, Gao Ying … The father of Goldman Sachs? So this was the reason why he had always been concerned about revenge.

Just as Luo Liya was lost in her own thoughts, the shopkeeper suddenly threw a handful of white powder at her face. Just as Luo Liya was lost in her own thoughts, the storekeeper took advantage of this time to suddenly throw a handful of white powder on Luo Liya's face.

By the time Luo Liya had reacted, Wu Kong had already lost his balance. With a dizzy look on his face, he felt that his vision was cloudy, and then he immediately fainted.

Luo Liya caught his body in time and called out to him a few times, but he didn't reply. Luo Liya immediately raised her eyes and glared at the shopkeeper with a fierce expression.

"What did you just throw?"

"Free and Unrestrained Powder." If you do not have the antidote, you will die of the Free and Unrestrained Powder in an hour, and your friends will all have suffered from the Free and Unrestrained Powder. " The storekeeper's face was full of pride. His eyes were squinting tightly. He stood up and straightened his clothes that had been grabbed by Luo Liya.

"Where's the antidote?" Loria asked again.

"It's not impossible for you to get the antidote. As long as you die, I'll give you the antidote." He was still in a passive state a moment ago, but now, he had complete control of the situation.

Luo Liya looked at his smug expression and wanted nothing more than to charge forward and finish him off. But when she thought of Wu Kong, Zi Ruo Ling and the others, she couldn't help but clench her fists tightly.

"If you don't end it yourself, then don't blame me for being heartless. After all, if I can't finish the mission, I will die."

The shopkeeper continued to speak at a moderate pace. Then, he tilted his head with a very proud attitude, but soon after, a cracking sound came from his neck. Luo Liya looked at the scene in surprise, and only when the shopkeeper fell down did she realize that there was a black shadow standing behind him.
