Ying Yuan sighed and briefly recounted what happened today.

After hearing this, Ruyan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Sir, Zhao Ping and Eunuch Cao are not easy to mess with. You should be more careful in the future."

"Thank you Miss Ruyan for the reminder." Ying Yuan said gratefully.

"You are welcome, sir." Ruyan smiled. "I and you hit it off right away. If you don't mind, I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."

Ying Yuan's heart was moved. Could this Ruyan be...

"Miss Ruyan, are you serious?" Ying Yuan asked tentatively.

"My words are as good as gold. I will never go back on my word." Ruyan said in a firm tone.

Ying Yuan was overjoyed. This Ruyan was indeed...

"Okay! In that case, I'd be honored to accept your invitation." Ying Yuan laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all again.

The two drank and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Ruyan is well-spoken and knowledgeable. Ying Yuan enjoys talking to her and feels that he has met her too late.

After three rounds of drinks, Ruyan's face flushed and her eyes became blurred.

She gently leaned on Ying Yuan's shoulder and said softly, "Sir, I am a little drunk."

Ying Yuan looked at Ruyan's charming appearance and his heart couldn't help but be moved.

He stretched out his hand, gently hugged Ruyan's waist, and said softly: "Ruyan, you are so beautiful."

Ruyan lowered her head shyly and let Ying Yuan hug her.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the restaurant.

"What's going on?" Ying Yuan frowned and asked.

"I'll go and take a look." Ruyan stood up, walked to the window and looked out.

I saw a group of men in black besieging a man in white, with swords flashing and murderous intent everywhere.

"Young Master, it's... it's..." Ruyan's face changed drastically, and she pointed at the man in white and said in horror.

“Sir, it’s…it’s…it’s Luowang’s killer!” Ruyan’s face turned pale and her voice trembled.

Ying Yuan followed Ruyan's gaze and saw that the man in white was very agile and was fighting against many people alone, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. The long sword in his hand was dancing tightly, and in the flash of the sword, many men in black fell to the ground.

Luowang! These two words exploded in Ying Yuan's mind.

Luowang is the most mysterious and powerful assassin organization in the Qin Empire. Its leader, Zhao Ping, has great power and his minions are spread all over the world.

This man in white actually dared to fight with Luowang's killer in broad daylight. His identity must be extraordinary.

"Young Master, let's go quickly! Luowang's killers are ruthless. If we are discovered by them..." Ruyan pulled Ying Yuan's sleeve and said anxiously.

Ying Yuan shook his head and said, "No, wait a little longer."

He had a hunch that this man in white might have some connection with him.

Although the man in white was very skilled in martial arts, he was outnumbered. Gradually, wounds began to appear on his body and his movements became slow.

"Young Master, it will be too late if you don't leave now!" Ruyan urged.

Ying Yuan didn't say anything. His eyes were fixed on the man in white, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, the man in white was accidentally stabbed in the chest by a man in black.

"Ah!" The man in white let out a scream and fell to the ground.

The men in black rushed forward, raised their swords, and prepared to hack the man in white to death.

"Stop!" Ying Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted and flew out.

The folding fan in his hand instantly turned into a sharp dagger. With a flash of cold light, a man in black fell to the ground.

"Young Master!" Ruyan exclaimed, trying to stop Ying Yuan, but it was too late.

Ying Yuan joined the battle, like a tiger descending from the mountains, unstoppable.

Although his martial arts skills were not as sophisticated as those of the man in white, he was more ruthless and decisive, and every move was deadly. In a blink of an eye, several more men in black fell under his dagger.

Seeing this, the remaining men in black retreated one after another and dared not move forward.

"Retreat!" A leader of the men in black shouted and quickly fled the scene with the remaining men in black.

Ying Yuan walked over to the man in white and helped him up.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir." The man in white said weakly.

"You're welcome." Ying Yuan smiled faintly, "Who are you? Why are you being hunted by Luowang's assassins?"

The man in white took a deep breath and said, "My name is Gai Nie, it's..."

Having said this, he suddenly started coughing violently, with blood flowing out of his mouth.

"Gai Nie!" Ying Yuan was shocked. He had heard of this name before.

Gai Nie, known as the "Sword Saint" in the martial arts world, is the best swordsman in the world and Luo Wang's number one target.

"Brother Gai Nie, you are seriously injured. I will take you to heal first." Ying Yuan supported Gai Nie and walked towards the restaurant.

Ruyan hurriedly followed, her heart filled with worry.

……

Inside the restaurant, Ying Yuan treated Gai Nie's wound and fed him a healing pill.

"Thank you very much for saving my life." Gai Nie said gratefully.

"Brother Gai Nie, you are welcome." Ying Yuan smiled slightly, "I just don't know why Brother Gai Nie was hunted down by Luo Wang's assassins?"

Gai Nie sighed and said, "This is a long story..."

He told Ying Yuan in detail about the grudge between him and Luo Wang, and why he was being hunted.

It turns out that Gai Nie was once a member of Luowang, but later he discovered Luowang's conspiracy, so he left Luowang and began to fight against Luowang.

Luowang naturally would not let him go, so he sent a large number of assassins to hunt him down.

"I see." Ying Yuan nodded, "Brother Gai Nie, don't worry. As long as I'm here, Luo Wang won't be able to hurt you."

"Thank you, sir." Gai Nie said gratefully.

"Brother Gai Nie, you're welcome." Ying Yuan smiled slightly, "You and I are both fighting against Luowang, so we should naturally help each other."

"You are right, sir." Gai Nie nodded, "But I don't know your name, sir?"

"My name is Ying Yuan." Ying Yuan smiled faintly.

"Ying Yuan?" Gai Nie's heart moved. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

"Young Master, but..." Gai Nie asked tentatively.

"Brother Gai Nie, there is no need to ask more questions." Ying Yuan interrupted Gai Nie, "The most important thing now is to recover from your injuries. We can talk about other things later."

"Young Master is right." Gai Nie nodded and asked no more questions.

……

As night falls, the restaurant becomes brightly lit.

Ying Yuan and Gai Nie sat by the window, drinking and chatting.

"Young Master, why are you helping me?" Gai Nie asked.

"Because I can't stand what Luowang did." Ying Yuan smiled faintly, "Also, I also want to see how powerful Luowang is."

"Young Master, you have great courage!" Gai Nie exclaimed in admiration.

"Brother Gai Nie, thank you for your compliment." Ying Yuan smiled slightly, "By the way, Brother Gai Nie, what are your plans next?"

Gai Nie pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to find a place to hide first, and then make plans after my injuries are healed." (End of this chapter)
