The one supporting Xiao Chen was none other than Lu Yun.

Yun Feiyan and Wu Sheng had already fled, and after Xiao Chen caught up with them, Lu Yun didn’t have time to clean up the battlefield, so he followed immediately.

However, his speed was much slower compared to Xiao Chen’s, so when he arrived, the battle between the two had already reached its final stage.

Nevertheless, Xiao Chen’s last move had genuinely shocked him, causing him to stand there dumbfounded for a few seconds.

If his reaction had not been fast enough, he might not have even been able to catch Xiao Chen as he fell to the ground.

Seeing Yun Feiyan’s dead body in front of him, while she had stopped breathing, it did not take away from her beauty. Lu Yun couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, “Long legs, full buttocks, and proud breasts – a truly rare beauty is wasted like this…”

Despite saying this, Lu Yun’s eyes were clear and bright, without a hint of lewdness.

Slightly shaking his head, his sight returned to the dark mark on Xiao Chen’s chest.

There was a cold aura emanating from the mark, enough for most people to feel as if they were in the depths of winter just by approaching.

However, Lu Yun was unfazed.

“If you were awake, dealing with this cold aura wouldn’t be difficult. But in your current state, you won’t wake up anytime soon, and if not treated promptly, it could harm your internal organs.”

“Well, then let me help you dispel this cold aura!”

With that, Lu Yun’s Pure Yang Aura surged out of his body, gathering on his right palm, and gently pressed it onto Xiao Chen’s chest.

As the Pure Yang Aura entered Xiao Chen’s body, the cold aura within him scurried away like a mouse seeing a cat.

The Pure Yang Aura, being the extreme of Yang, was the natural counter of Yin-based abilities, and it didn’t take long for the cold aura within Xiao Chen’s body to be driven out, causing the dark mark on his chest to gradually fade.

Simultaneously, Xiao Chen’s complexion began to recover, and his face shifted from blue to pale, eventually returning to its original rosy hue.

It didn’t take long for Xiao Chen to finally wake up.

He looked at Lu Yun, then at himself, and whispered, “A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. I owe my life to you, Junior Brother Lu. I cannot make any promises now, but whenever you need me in the future, 1 will do everything 1 can to help!”

Lu Yun’s expression appeared a bit odd, and he jokingly said, “Anything?”

Xiao Chen’s face was serious as he replied without hesitation, “As long as it doesn’t involve betraying my principles of swordsmanship, feel free to ask anything of me, Junior Brother!”

Lu Yun patted Xiao Chen’s shoulder, helping him regulate the disordered Qi inside his body, and laughed, “Senior Brother Xiao, you’re overthinking. Even without my help, your body would have been able to drive out the cold aura.”

Xiao Chen bitterly smiled, “Even if that’s the case, not to mention whether or not 1 could recover this quickly, my swordsmanship foundation might have been damaged by two or three percent.”

His words were neither exaggerated nor fabricated.

Against that cold aura, he wouldn’t have had a problem under normal circumstances, and as long as he was conscious, he could slowly drive it out without damaging his foundation.

But in a state of unconsciousness, everything became uncertain, and the final outcome might have been even worse than what he described.

Lu Yun smiled faintly, not dwelling on the matter and shifting the topic.

“Now that it’s confirmed that White Cloud Villa is connected to the White Lotus

Sect and all the involved personnel have been beheaded, our mission is complete, and it’s time for us to return.”

Xiao Chen nodded, “Indeed, though this mission was quite dangerous, it did not exceed the scope of our abilities.”

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel grateful for Lu Yun’s presence, for without him, dealing with two True Qi Realm martial artists would have been difficult.

Then, Xiao Chen stood up, the three-foot-long sword at his waist. After tidying his clothes, he looked towards White Cloud Villa and whispered, “We still have our stuff there; we have to pack it up!”

“Our stuff?” Lu Yun was slightly puzzled, but quickly understood, and said playfully, “You’re right, everything in White Cloud Villa belongs to us!”

With that, the two left quickly.

All that remained was a battlefield that had been ravaged by sword Qi, and the alluring female corpse on the ground, which neither of them paid any more attention to, as if it had been completely forgotten.

Living individuals would hardly get a second glance, let alone a corpse that would soon be reduced to bones.

On their way back, they encountered Captain Wang, whose body was covered in blood. By now, he had already removed the arrows from his body. His face was somewhat pale and seemed much weaker than Xiao Chen.

Having the principle of ‘benefits for all,’ Lu Yun and Xiao Chen let Captain Wang join their team.

Without Captain Wang guiding them on their journey, they might have faced many more obstacles.

Now that Captain Wang had been injured as a result of their mission, they felt uneasy not sharing their fortune with him, so it seemed only natural for the three of them to search White Cloud Villa together.

After ransacking the place, the result left the three somewhat disappointed.

“White Cloud Villa is one of the richest households in Green Cloud County, they shouldn’t just have this much wealth!”

Looking at the three barely-filled chests of taels of silver in front of him, Captain Wang’s brow furrowed.

There were three chests of silver, which looked like a lot, but only amounted to about ten thousand taels in total, well below the wealth White Cloud Villa should have possessed.

After a moment, Lu Yun suggested calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, most of White Cloud Villa’s wealth was handed over to the White Lotus Sect. The fact that we managed to get this much is already quite fortunate!”

Upon hearing this, both Captain Wang and Xiao Chen nodded in agreement, as it was the only explanation as to why a wealthy villa like White Cloud had so little silver.

Lu Yun took out five hundred taels of silver from one of the chests and handed it to Captain Wang.

“Without Captain Wang’s help, it would have been much more difficult for us to find the White Lotus Sect’s base and eradicate it. Please accept this silver as your reward!”

Seeing the silver in front of him, Captain Wang was tempted.

However, he knew he hadn’t been much help on their journey aside from showing the way, so he promptly refused.

“It is my duty to serve, and I dare not accept such a gift. Please take it back.”

Xiao Chen, who was standing by, added, “This is not just a reward fee, but also for your recuperation, Captain Wang. Please take it.”

After looking at both Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, Captain Wang finally nodded heavily, “In that case, 1 humbly accept!”

With that, he respectfully bowed to both Lu Yun and Xiao Chen.

“Haha, that’s more like it!”

Lu Yun laughed, throwing the bundle of silver to Captain Wang.

As there was a lot of silver, Captain Wang was naturally excited, so he eagerly embraced it, even though it strained his injuries, he didn’t even frown.

His joy was simply greater than his pain!

Immediately after, he thanked Lu Yun and Xiao Chen profusely, expressing his gratitude in many heartfelt words.

It wasn’t until Lu Yun waved his hand that Captain Wang ceased his expressions of gratitude.

It must be said that not only was Captain Wang smart and cunning, but he also knew how to get along with people.

All of this served to invisibly narrow the gap between him and Lu Yun and Xiao Chen..
