Lin Dan was not used to spending people's money. However, she did not refuse his offer as she was suffering from the immense pain all the time. She followed Bai Yan back to the inn and took out a small book to record her expenses. When Bai Yan received a bill from Lin Dan, it was the first time he felt amused yet awkward at the same time. But for some reason, he did not return the bill and kept it in his sleeve after folding it nicely.

"Why is there a list of wanted fugitives?" Lin Dan pretended to ask casually when they were having a meal.

"The list of wanted fugitives is issued by the Jianghu Alliance which records all the evildoings of these fugitives. Anyone who is able to kill these fugitives will be able to receive a bounty."

"Where can I see the list?"

"In the Jianghu Alliance. They have a branch in each city, and they have it here too. Shall we go and take a look?"

"Let's go after the meal." Lin Dan quickly finished her food. She finally understood how a penny can stump a hero. As she had to write a bill for all her expenses, including food and accommodation, it was making her very uncomfortable.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the Jianghu Alliance branch. Although it was only a branch, the building covered a huge area. At the entrance, characters of "Jianghu Alliance" were written in gold on a signboard. There were two halls – the Learning Hall and Martial Arts Hall – and they looked magnificent.

"Let's go to the Learning Hall." Bai Yan seemed to be familiar with the place and walked in without hesitation. This time around, it was Lin Dan who followed behind him.

They entered the Learning Hall and saw two lists hung on the wall side by side. One was the list of wanted fugitives while the other was the list of martial arts experts. The experts list was updated periodically where old names were erased, and the names of rising martial artists would be featured.

When Lin Dan stepped into the hall, she was surprised to see that she was on the list. Her rank was not low at all, she had already taken over the four elders of Lianyun City and was placed fourth among the Half-step Grandmasters. There were five other Half-step Grandmasters on the list as well, including Xiaoyaozi of Carefree Sect, Master Fazhao of Bore Temple, Emperor Yan of Yanhuang City and Emperor Yun of Lianyun City.

Lin Dan's eyes stayed on the words "Emperor Yun" for a moment before looking at the list of wanted fugitives at the side. Many martial artists stood in front of the list and were deciding which "assignment" they should accept. The wanted list was arranged according to the fugitives' martial arts level. The higher they were ranked, the more powerful they were. However, there were several Half-step Grandmasters who appeared on the list. There were records of their evildoings in detail, the date they were listed and the bounty amount...

Lin Dan looked through the list carefully and found a fugitive who was wanted for twenty years but had never been caught. But he was not satisfied with his current state and committed more evildoings. More people were contributing to the bounty and he had actually accumulated half a million grams of gold. The bounty for the next fugitives on the list were not low either, they were thirty-hundred thousand, twenty-hundred thousand, a hundred thousand... and the unit was in grams of gold.

Lin Dan scanned from the top of the list to the bottom and thought to herself, "If I can kill all of them, I will become rich instantly and enjoy a luxurious life. I can live in suites, eat happily and life a comfortable life."

As she was deep in thought, her slim and dark eyes narrowed and beamed with joy. Bai Yan did not even look at the list and gazed at Lin Dan silently.

With their eye-catching appearances and overpowering charisma, they soon attracted the attention of others. Someone whispered, "Female, seventeen or eighteen years old, wears a black dress, holds a huge sword, and stands about five feet five. Could she be Lin Dan of the Eastern Holy Sect?"
