Back mountain.
Wu Bao’Er was organizing her luggage.
She was very meticulous, carefully classifying every item without allowing the slightest disorder.
This was a habit she had developed when she was an assassin at the Separation Tower.
All the items must be within reach so that she could maximize her fighting power in battle.
To be honest, it had been a long time since Wu Bao’Er had prepared so earnestly.
After joining the Azure Dragon Temple, she lived the pastoral life she had always dreamed of.
Especially after Zhao Ya helped her eliminate the Python God Sect, Wu Bao’Er wanted nothing more; she only wished to plant flowers and tend to grass in this cottage on the back mountain, living as a recluse indifferent to worldly affairs.
But everything changed after the incident at the Wuyang Sea.
Actually, no one came to inform Wu Bao’Er; she learned the news from others.
At that moment, Wu Bao’Er sensed that something significant was going to happen.
And indeed, it was true.
Later, Zhao Ya issued the Azure Dragon Order and punched the Dean of the Dragon Elephant Institute to death. All these events clearly indicated to Wu Bao’Er.
The previously peaceful life no longer existed.
For Zhao Ya to take such careful measures, it was evident that the incident at Wuyang Sea was no trivial matter.
Wu Bao’Er immediately returned to her cottage and took out her long-sealed weapon package.
Inside were the items she used when she was an assassin at the Separation Tower.
Previously, Wu Bao’Er thought she would never need them again, so she put them away.
But unexpectedly, her dream of a recluse life was so quickly interrupted.
Yet Wu Bao’Er did not complain.
Because past experiences taught her that when faced with situations, all you can do is calm down and think of a solution.
Anger and resentment change nothing.
In the following time, Wu Bao’Er didn’t go anywhere, concentrating on recovery training in the cottage.
Although she had been an assassin for several years and became a popular star at the Separation Tower, the years of leisurely life had dulled her senses.
To regain it was not an easy task.
Fortunately, since Zhao Ya helped convert the True Power within her, Wu Bao’Er’s strength improved rapidly, making recovery much easier.
Now, there are only two days left until the first of November.
Wu Bao’Er also slowed the training pace, beginning to organize her luggage and prepare to leave anytime.
She did all this without telling anyone.
Actually, she knew very well that she could completely ignore this matter.
After all, she was not a disciple of the Azure Dragon Temple.
But Wu Bao’Er also understood that much of her carefree life and continuous improvement in strength were largely due to Zhao Ya and the Azure Dragon Temple being her safety net.
If Zhao Ya and the Azure Dragon Temple were to fall, her fate might not be much better.
After all, she had made many deadly enemies when she was an assassin at the Separation Tower.
So even if for her own sake, she had to summon the courage.
Moreover, this was helping Zhao Ya...
With the luggage packed and secured on various parts of her body, Wu Bao’Er let out a long breath and prepared to go into the mountain forest for some training.
But at this moment, she suddenly sensed something, turned her head to look out of the window.
Then she saw a man and a woman appear at the fence gate, unclear when they had arrived.
The man had an extraordinary demeanor, and although the woman was young, she was inherently charming, with natural allure in her eyes.
The man was, of course, Zhao Ya.
But who was this woman?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Wu Bao’Er’s mind, but her actions were not slow; in a flash, she came to the courtyard and cupped her fists, saying, "Sir!"
Seeing Wu Bao’Er, Zhao Ya also couldn’t help but feel a slight movement in his heart.
Because Wu Bao’Er’s current state was completely different from before.
The previous Wu Bao’Er spent her days working in the fields, her aura becoming more serene and tranquil.
But now Wu Bao’Er was like a sharp sword unsheathed, exuding a visible edge, with a long-absent ferocity in her eyes.
But soon Zhao Ya understood Wu Bao’Er’s meaning, sighed discreetly, then nodded and pointed to Liu Yuhuan beside him.
"I brought her back from the Mechanical Sect, living in the temple is inconvenient, so let her stay with you for a few days."
"No!"
As soon as Zhao Ya finished speaking, Liu Yuhuan and Wu Bao’Er simultaneously shouted no.
"Hmm? Why not?" Zhao Ya asked somewhat puzzledly, looking at the two.
Before Wu Bao’Er could speak, Liu Yuhuan took the lead and said, "Sir, that wasn’t what you said when you took me out."
"What did I say?" Zhao Ya asked confusedly.
"You said you were going to take me away, so naturally, you have to be responsible for me, which means you have to always lead me," Liu Yuhuan said, blinking her eyes.
Zhao Ya found it both amusing and irritating upon hearing this.
"I said I’d take you away, but not that I’d always stay with you. Besides, there’s a difference between men and women, how can we always be together?"
"Why not? Didn’t we sleep together when we were on the road before?" Liu Yuhuan said.
Wu Bao’Er’s eyes instantly widened, looking unbelievably at Zhao Ya.
No wonder when the master was passing on power to her before, she almost stripped naked, and he was indifferent.
Turns out, he likes them young!
Damn it...I’m not that old either!
Zhao Ya was so exasperated that he almost choked on his own saliva, then said helplessly.
