The weather finally cleared up after New Year's Eve.

The thick snow on the ground has not melted yet, but the sun has cast golden lines across the mountains. The air in the valley in the early morning is fresh and pleasant, with the fragrance of morning dew, which is intoxicating.

There was a sky bridge on the steep cliff, and behind the sky bridge was a large dense jungle. At this moment, a woman in black stood in front of a bush, holding a long sword. In front of her stood three petite girls, led by Han Yan.

"Thank you for the drugs, Master." Han Yan bowed to her respectfully.

The spices and drugs from yesterday were all obtained from Chai Jing. This master seemed to have some connections with the people in the underworld, so Han Yan tried to ask for it, but unexpectedly, Chai Jing agreed very readily.

Chai Jing nodded and looked at Han Yan: "How about the plum blossom thorn?"

Han Yan shook her head in shame: "I am very unfamiliar with this. I am a dull student."

She had no martial arts background to begin with, and although Chai Jing had chosen the easiest plum blossom thorn for her, she still struggled to use it. Though she carried the plum blossom thorn with her every day to practice, at the critical moment, she still had no plan when using it.

Chai Jing frowned and said in a somewhat cold voice: "You are too weak to practice martial arts. But you are unwilling to learn the art of strengthening your body and bones. Martial arts cannot be mastered overnight. What exactly do you want to learn?"

Han Yan took a deep breath and said, "I want to learn from Master how to kill people."

Chai Jing obviously didn't expect Han Yan to say that and was a little stunned. When Han Yan was practicing martial arts before, she had stopped practicing those skills that required long-term practice. The key to martial arts is perseverance, and her eagerness to achieve success doesn't seem like something she would do if she liked martial arts.

"Why?" she asked.

Han Yan sighed: "Killing is just for self-protection. Han Yan knows her own abilities very well. She can't learn those martial arts skill and only wants to learn the tricks to protect herself." She raised her head and smiled at Chai Jing: "It's not that you have to know martial arts skill to kill people, right?"

Chai Jing's expression slightly moved: "You want to learn assassination?"

"If Master is willing to teach me." She looked respectful and didn't seem to be joking.

"Let me teach you how to use hidden weapons first." After a long silence, Chai Jing spoke.

Han Yan thanked her in a low voice.

Chai Jing was a good master. Although she had a strange personality, she was very diligent in teaching Han Yan. Han Yan was grateful to her, so when she said goodbye, she said to Chai Jing: "Master, if you need me in the future, just let me know."

After hearing this, Chai Jing moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it and just turned her back and said, "hmm". Ji Lan was a little displeased, but Han Yan smiled and shook her head.

Chai Jing, is someone who also has secrets?

When she returned to the mansion, there were rows of purple-clad guards with swords standing at the door. Han Yan was suspicious. In addition to the guards with swords, there were also several luxurious sedan chairs. It seemed that a distinguished person was visiting. Han Yan went out today just to see Deng Chan, but she didn't expect that so many guards would appear in the blink of an eye. Ji Lan walked to the door and stuffed a piece of silver into the hand of a servant at the door, and said with a smile: "Brother, what's going on?"
