"Your friends are still waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain. The mountain road is rugged, so be careful." Wang Zhe warned before leaving.

Ye Zhiqiu thanked her again and then stood up and hugged Xiaowei and left.

Halfway through, the beauty in her arms woke up, blinked her eyes, and it took her a while to see clearly who was holding her.

"Brother Ye?" Her voice was very soft and a little hoarse.

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly stopped after hearing the sound.

"Xiaowei, you're awake." Ye Zhiqiu's voice was hoarse and he was very tired.

But at this moment, I feel that all the travel these days has been worth it.

"Where are we?" Xiaowei looked at the surrounding trees and was very curious.

"We are now deep in Qinchuan."

"Qin Chuan, why are you here? I thought I was dead."

"You were injured and unconscious. Fortunately, there is an expert in the mountain who saved you."

"Stop talking and take a good rest. We will meet up with Brother Lin and the others soon."

The rain was still falling, Ye Zhiqiu hugged Xiaowei tightly and continued to walk down the mountain.

In the forest at the foot of the mountain, Lin Zhiyou and another person were sitting under a tree.

Rain falls from the sky on the leaves, and then drips down the leaves.

"Brother Lin, are we just waiting here?"

"Otherwise, do you have a good idea?" Lin Zhiyou asked.

"I'm just worried. I don't know if there are immortals in this thousand-mile Qinchuan. Monsters are definitely indispensable. Don't Zhiqiu be deceived, and Xiaowei will be implicated too."

"It's too late to say this now. Zhiqiu is a blessed person, and Xiaowei is not a short-lived person. In the final analysis, I was careless this time!" Lin Zhiyou sighed.

"I don't blame you, who knew that old guy actually practiced such evil techniques!"

"How could generations of glory and wealth be willing to let go so easily? As long as the wealth lasts, practicing evil arts doesn't matter. It's okay to transform into a demon."

"These people don't even have the most basic bottom line!" the man on the side said disdainfully after hearing this.

"How many people can resist that kind of temptation in their lifetime!" Lin Zhiyou sighed.

The person next to me was silent for a while.

"Brother Lin, do you think we can do what we do?"

"I don't know." Lin Zhiyou shook his head.

"But I know that some things have to be done by someone."

Gululu, the guy next to me started growling.

"Hey, I've been traveling all day and I'm hungry." He smiled and took out some dry food from the package.

"You want to eat some too?"

"I'm not hungry, you can eat. Zhiqiu has been gone for an hour, right?"

"Well, it's been more than an hour." The man took a bite of the dried meat and said.

After another half an hour, there was a sudden rustling in the woods.

The two people immediately stood up, cautiously alert, staring in the direction of the sound.

After a while, a man walked out of the woods, holding someone else in his arms.

"Zhiqiu?!"

"How's it going? Have you seen that immortal?"

"Brother Lin, Brother Gao!" The woman in his arms turned to look at the two of them.

"Xiaowei, you wake up!"

When the two people heard Xiaowei's voice, they hurriedly came to her side, with expressions of genuine concern and happiness on their faces.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Xiaowei said weakly.

"What are you talking about!" said the tall man. "I can always treat you as my sister. If my sister is sick, the elder brother will naturally try his best to find a way to cure her."

"Brother Lin, do you think we should go out at night, or should we spend the night in the mountains before going out?"

"It's late at night. The only problem in this mountain is the direction. Why don't we find a place to spend the night?" Lin Zhiyou said.

"good."

Soon, they discovered a small cave in a nearby mountain.

The four people entered the cave and lit a fire to keep warm.

Xiaowei was seriously injured before. Although she said she woke up, her body was still very weak. After saying a few words to a few of them, she fell asleep again in Ye Zhiqiu's arms.

"I never thought that you could really save Xiaowei." The tall man said.

Lin Zhiyou looked at Ye Zhiqiu.

"So, you have really found the immortal."

"Yes, we found it. He was the one who saved Xiaowei." Ye Zhiqiu leaned on the rock and spoke very softly, for fear that the louder voice would disturb Xiaowei in his arms.

"It turns out there really are immortals in this mountain."

"Zhiqiu, when the immortal agreed to save Xiaowei, didn't he make any demands or conditions?"

Ye Zhiqiu was silent for a while after hearing this.

"Mentioned."

"What conditions?" Lin Zhiyou asked hurriedly.

"He asked me to eliminate the banditry in Yangzhou."

"Eradicating the banditry?"

This request stunned the two people on the side. They did not expect that the immortal would make such a "weird" request.

"Maybe he is from Yangzhou, but if he is from Yangzhou, with the earth-shattering cultivation level of the human immortal, why doesn't he take action himself?" Lin Zhiyou lowered his head and pondered.

"Human Immortal, the thoughts are naturally beyond the reach of those of us. However, since Zhiqiu has agreed to his request, you will be busy next.

Eliminate the banditry in Yangzhou. Yangzhou is such a big place. In today's world, banditry is everywhere. Once one wave is eliminated, there will be another wave soon.

It’s endless. When will it be cleared up? This is an impossible task.”

"No matter how difficult it is, since I have agreed, I will do my best to do it." Ye Zhiqiu said.

Wang Zhe's kindness to him was too great, but he had been unable to do anything to help him. This time he made a rare request.

No matter how difficult it is, he will try his best.

"When I get out of the mountain, I want to go to Yangzhou for a visit. Xiaowei will bother you."

"Are you in such a hurry? But what time limit did the immortal set, or did he place a curse on you?"

"That's not true."

"Then there's no rush. Let's go back to Yuzhou first and send Xiaowei back to the main altar together, and then we can discuss it in a long-term way. It just so happens that it's the way to go."

"That is, eliminating banditry in a state is no small matter. You alone, even if you have to run around day and night, how big an impact can you make!"

After hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu remained silent and looked at the bonfire that was still burning.

"Then go back to Yuzhou first. In two days, I will leave for Yangzhou."

"So urgent?"

"Brother Lin, there's no need to say it. Since I've already agreed, I can't refuse with any excuses," Ye Zhiqiu said.

"Okay, I really saw you right!" Lin Zhiyou patted Ye Zhiqiu's shoulder.

"You've been tired for the whole day, so go get some sleep first and I'll keep watch."

"Thank you." Ye Zhiqiu leaned against the stone wall, took off the sword case, held the sword case in one hand, and Xiaowei in the other. He soon began to snore, and it seemed that he was indeed exhausted.

"You should also take a nap." Lin Zhiyou said to the man beside him.

"Hey, okay, you can call me later."

After the man finished speaking, he fell to the ground and fell asleep soon after.

Lin Zhiyou was the only one left awake in the cave. He added two pieces of firewood and threw them into the fire.

He turned around and looked at Ye Zhiqiu, then at Xiao Wei.

He stood up and came to the entrance of the cave, looking in the direction of the thick fog.

"Human Immortal?!"

"What a great opportunity!"

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Lin Zhiyou, and then slowly closed them again.
