"Bang!"

Yue Qing Qian's body suddenly struck out above the guard NPC's shield, knocking him back. Yue Wei Liang had also suddenly vanished and without saying anything, she appeared behind another NPC guard. Raising her dagger, she stabbed at the back side of the guard's body, knocking him away.

Because of this, the two Assassins forcibly tore apart a gap at the city's gate, granting me 3 precious seconds of time to cross over.

"Shua!"

My Purple Dawn Boots barely grazed over the bricks as I stepped over them. "Qing Qian, Wei Liang, thank you both!"

Yue Qing Qian gave a sigh and started to chase in my general direction. She asked questions while she ran, "Brother Xiao Yao, why are you carrying an old man while running? Also, why were those NPCs trying to kill you?"

I dashed forward while answering, "It's nothing! This old timer is simply a criminal of the court, but ... but I still need his help, so I'm breaking him out of jail!"

"Breaking him out of prison?" Qing Qian playfully stuck out her tongue, "Hehe, brother Xiao Yao just does anything he feels like doing. Keep on running, I'll get you some time!"

"Ah, thanks."

I heavily nodded; I was starting to like Yue Qing Qian more and more. She was so considerate!

......

After a tense 10 minutes, I entered the depths of Ba Huang Forest and the soldiers finally stopped chasing me. I guess this old man wasn't that big of a felon, so a large task force wasn't assigned to retrieve him.

In the forest clearing, the white flowers bloomed and the spring wind rippled through the grass. I helped Feng Ye sit down and tried to catch my breath. There was already a giant stone tablet on my back. Adding Feng Ye, who was quite heavy as well, it would have been impossible for me to run if it wasn't for my Swordsman's strength. Otherwise, I would have fainted dead on the road.

The twin Assassins, Yue Qing Qian and Yue Wei Liang, walked up as Yue Qing Qian asked, "Brother Xiao Yao, what's next?"

"Wait for now, I'll ask..."

Turning around, I looked at Feng Ye, "Elder, you promised me that if I helped you, you would create the giant key for me. Shall we go look for a blacksmith shop so you can create it?"

"I refuse!" Feng Ye shook his head, "I am a fugitive of Ba Huang City now, therefore I can't be seen in any region with a huge concentration of people. Take me south of Ba Huang City to Qing He Gu. It's deserted over there, so I can concentrate on casting the key in peace. There should be a thatched hut with the appropriate smelting forge if you can take me there!"

"Understood!"

I carried the old man once more and said to Yue Qing Qian, "Qing Qian, I'm going to bring Feng Ye to make my key. You go on back to the city and focus on leveling. Don't waste your time traveling with me."

Yue Qing Qian shook her head, "I don't want to. Rumors say that there's danger on these roads. If you go alone, I'll be worried! I want to travel with you until you finish your mission!"

On the other side, Yue Wei Liang frowned, "Sister ... didn't you say you'd go to the auction and help buy a Gold Tier dagger for me..."

Yue Qing Qian tilted her head and laughed sweetly, "I'll be traveling with Brother Xiao Yao for a while. You go buy the item yourself at the auction and I'll just give you the money now, so ... Sister, don't be angry. I'll get you a great bear stuffed animal in return..."
