As for Liu Yaoyao, she was wandering through the intricate streets and alleys.

Yingdao, ah Yingdao, don't underestimate her, she comes well prepared!

As she ran, she did not forget to cheer herself up, as if this could make her steps lighter and her thinking more agile.

As for the chivalrous man with a smile on his face, he had already disappeared into the crowd.

Only a mysterious back is left, making people wonder who he is and why he has such a smile.

Liu Yaoyao was concentrating on dodging the shadow knife and didn't pay any attention to the man at all.

She made a sharp turn and unexpectedly bumped into the gangster.

Liu Yaoyao was about to curse, but when she looked up and saw that it was her benefactor, she quickly clasped her fists and said, "We are really destined to meet here again."

"Yes, I didn't ask about our origins when we first met, but the second time we met was fate that could not be stopped. My name is Pang Fei, may I ask your name, young lady?"

Ah, Pang Fei?

Liu Yaoyao recalled the plot of the book in her mind. Although there was nothing, it always felt familiar.

Liu Yaoyao subconsciously wanted to hide it.

"I am a distant relative of the owner of Yaoxiang Manyuan, my name is Gan Qimei."

Liu Yaoyao felt so regretful. Why didn't she make a draft in advance when making up a name?

Now, she gave herself a code name "Gan Qimei", which sounds like the maid in martial arts novels who specializes in collecting herbs and making elixirs.

However, she changed her mind and thought that this might be a good way to deceive others, so she pretended to be calm and continued her performance.

"Oh? It's Miss Gan Qimei. Nice to meet you! It seems that I, Pang, am very lucky today and have met many noble people."

As Pang Fei spoke, he did not forget to put on an elegant look, as if he really believed Liu Yaoyao's nonsense.

Liu Yaoyao kept muttering in her heart:

This guy’s acting skills are pretty good, she almost believed him.

But she still had to maintain a smile on the surface, for fear of being exposed.

"Mr. Pang, you are too kind. It is indeed fate that we meet here. But, speaking of which, I am being chased all over the street by that shadow knife. Do you have any good plan to help me escape?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Fei raised his lips into a playful smile.

"Shadow knife? Humph, a mere shadow-like knife dares to be so arrogant in front of me? Don't worry, Miss Yaoyao, I am here to protect you."

As he spoke, he did not forget to take out a fan from his waist that looked ordinary but actually contained a secret. He waved it gently, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Seeing this, Liu Yaoyao almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Could this fan be able to summon a dragon?

However, since he is acting so hard, I will just accompany him to the end.

She pretended to be surprised: "Oh, Master Pang is really a hidden talent, this fan must be extraordinary!"

Pang Fei raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Of course. This fan is called 'Liuyun'. It can not only provide a breeze to cool down, but also ward off evil spirits. It can easily deal with a mere shadow knife."

As he spoke, he actually pretended to wave his sword in the air a few times, as if he was really fighting an invisible enemy.

Liu Yaoyao suppressed her laughter and cooperated with Pang Fei's performance.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, rolling up the fallen leaves on the street corner, and it seemed that even the air was filled with a hint of unusual scent.

Liu Yaoyao's nose twitched slightly, and her eyes instantly became alert, as if she could capture the subtle changes in the air.

"Oh my god, could this wind be a spy sent by Shadow Blade? Why do I feel a chill on my back?"

She muttered to herself but remained expressionless. She bowed to Pang Fei again and spoke sincerely.

"Mr. Pang's kindness is great, Yaoyao will never forget it. But as a child of the Jianghu, the world is my home, I still want to make my own way."

Upon hearing this, Pang Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, with a sly smile on his lips.

"Miss Gan Qimei, this is wrong.

Although the world is vast, it is also full of dangers. If you, a weak woman, encounter those unreasonable scums in the world, wouldn't it be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?

Besides, more people means more care, isn't it wonderful if we travel together?"

Liu Yaoyao secretly complained:

"Weak girl? Am I weak? I'm just hiding my true potential! But since you're so enthusiastic, I'll accept it with reluctance. After all, life is more interesting with more friends."

She pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said helplessly.

"Well, since Master Pang is so kind, Yaoyao will respectfully obey your orders.

But we have to agree that if we come across anything delicious or fun on the road, you have to give it to me first!"

Pang Fei almost couldn't help laughing. This girl was really funny, but he was happy to keep her company.

The most important thing is that this is his mission.

"Haha, no problem, as long as you're happy, I'll find a way to pick the moon from the sky for you."

As he spoke, he made an exaggerated moon-picking gesture, causing Liu Yaoyao to cover her mouth and laugh.

The two hit it off immediately and set out on a journey together.

On the way, Pang Fei occasionally recounted his heroic deeds. Although they were so exaggerated that they could scare away a group of cows, Liu Yaoyao listened with great interest and asked questions from time to time, which made Pang Fei speak even more excitedly.

Liu Yaoyao was not to be outdone and added a bit of fantasy to her experience of "collecting herbs and making elixirs".

The two sang in unison, leaving countless laughter and joy on the road of rivers and lakes, as if even the passing wind was smiling.

However, during this seemingly carefree journey, a hint of doubt gradually arose in Liu Yaoyao's heart.

Just like the mist that appears and disappears in a misty forest, it is hard to grasp.

After half a month, Liu Yaoyao's eyes, which could recognize hundreds of herbs, didn't find anything suspicious on Pang Fei.

Sometimes he was as serious as an old scholar, and he spoke about the secrets of the underworld with great eloquence.

Sometimes he becomes more naughty than a monkey, making Liu Yaoyao laugh out loud.

But it is this "perfection" that makes the drum in Liu Yaoyao's heart beat louder and louder.

Is this guy really just a kind person passing by?

What Liu Yaoyao found most strange was their route.

At first, the two agreed to go to the Misty Forest to search for the legendary exotic flowers and plants.

But now, they are going further and further astray and have stepped into the embrace of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Liu Yaoyao looked at the endless mountains in front of her and muttered to herself.

How come this looks like the Ten Thousand Mountains that are the only way to the capital?

Humph, there is something fishy!

On a dark and windy night, when the campfire reflected Pang Fei's seemingly harmless face, Liu Yaoyao decided to give it a try.

She pretended to be nonchalant and spoke lightly.

"Hey, Mr. Pang, aren't we on the road to the capital? I always feel weird in my heart."

When Pang Fei heard this, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he smiled calmly.

"Haha, Seventh Sister, you're worrying too much. I like adventure, and I heard that there are rare treasures hidden deep in the Shiwan Mountains, so I changed my mind.

As for the capital, it is just a prosperous cage. How can it be as free as in the mountains and rivers?"

When Liu Yaoyao heard this, a cunning smile appeared on her lips.

"Oh? Really? Then Mr. Pang, you better be careful. These Shiwan Mountains are different from other places. If you encounter any mountain spirits or ghosts, don't blame me for not warning you."

As she spoke, she pretended to be scared and leaned closer to Pang Fei, but her heart was filled with joy.

Seeing this, Pang Fei shook his head helplessly and thought to himself:

"This girl is becoming more and more difficult to deal with."

But on the surface, he still maintained that cynical look and continued their "adventure journey" with Liu Yaoyao.
