Chapter 163 Moving On

The two were at a stalemate when another person popped up beside them.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Lan Yuntian.

"You disagree?"

Team Leader Shan's voice suddenly rose.

"The Vice Captain Ye and I are a match made in heaven, traveling together. Who asked for your ugly mug to comment?"

Ugly, ugly mug?!

Lan Yuntian's expression turned ugly.

"Team Leader Shan, watch your words. Don't forget that I'm the captain of Manshui Village!"

"Humph! Just an inherited captain, disgusting!"

The two exchanged words, their hostility apparent, as if they had a long-standing grudge.

Seeing the two of them arguing so intensely, Fang Yue quietly left.

Arriving at the training ground, he began practicing the Shui Tian (Water Sky) Blade Technique.

"Vice Captain Ye?"

Fang Yue had only been practicing the blade technique for a short while when he saw Ma Ling'er bounding over with her strong muscles.

No… please don't come over!

That bouncing movement is something a cute little girl would do, please, muscle woman, don't do such a thing, it's too hard on the eyes!

That's what he thought in his heart, but Fang Yue smiled and said, "What is it?"

"Nothing, nothing, just… just thank you for risking your life to save me last night."

Risking my life? Saved you?

"I… didn't save you, did I?"

"How annoying! Last night, you fought desperately with the weird creatures, saving everyone in the escort team, isn't that saving my life!"

As she spoke, Ma Ling'er revealed a shy look, making Fang Yue's eyelids twitch.

"Ahem! So, that's how it was. Um, I'm practicing blade techniques…"

"I'll accompany you from the side!"

"…"

Fang Yue was silent for a long time before saying, "I'm not used to having someone next to me when I practice martial arts."

"Then I'll stay further away!"

Thump thump thump.

Ma Ling'er's Kongo Barbie body immediately retreated more than thirty meters away.

"Is this distance okay?"

I…

Sigh!

Fang Yue sighed, let her watch if she wants to, it's not like I'll lose anything.

Continuing to practice the blade technique, the morning quickly passed.

[System Notification: Congratulations to the player for making slight progress in practicing the *Shui Tian* (Water Sky). Yuli (Force Control) +0.1.]

Looking at the latest gain, Fang Yue was excited.

Only 0.2 *yuli* (Force Control) left!

It was like staring at a goal and making a final sprint, Fang Yue was full of motivation.

But noon had arrived, and the team was about to leave Manshui Village.

"Let's go, we're going back."

Fang Yue called out to Ma Ling'er, who immediately followed obediently.

At first, Fang Yue was quite concerned about Ma Ling'er watching him, but later he was completely immersed in cultivation and forgot about it.

To be honest, Ma Ling'er was fine, except for her body proportions being a bit hard on the eyes.

On the way back, Fang Yue walked in front, and Ma Ling'er followed behind.

Her eyes were filled with confusion.

"Why does it feel like… this guy's blade technique is very ordinary? It doesn't have the power from last night?"

"He's obviously so strong, why is he practicing such an ordinary blade technique? Could there be some secret in this unremarkable blade technique?"

"Forget it, what does it have to do with me? No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the Envoy Team!"

"A Duan… the day to avenge you is coming soon!"

Ma Ling'er lowered her head and thought about things.

She entered Guyue Village ten years ago under the name of being adopted by the blacksmith, Ma.

This stay lasted ten years.

In these boring ten years, the only thing she looked forward to was the arrival of the ten-year period.

And in these long years, the only person who made her happy and briefly forget about the ten-year period was A Duan.

That man… was the only one who could make her forget her dream in these ten years.

But now, A Duan is dead.

Just for the sake of the so-called village, he died at the hands of the weird creatures!

It was all the sense of honor fabricated by Guyue Village that caused A Duan to lose his life!

Guyue Village should not exist, this kind of village should be destroyed!

Unconsciously, Ma Ling'er clenched her fists and walked with her head lowered…

"Ma Ling'er? Ma Ling'er!"

Ma Ling'er was startled and looked up, only to see Fang Yue looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Are you okay? I called you several times."

"No, I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"Oh, we've arrived at the inn, go tidy up, and we'll gather at the village entrance later."

"Okay, okay!"

Looking at Ma Ling'er's back, Fang Yue felt that she was often absent-minded, not knowing what she was thinking.

No!

I'm too much of a visual person!

Even a muscle woman is a person!

She also has thoughts, troubles, and sorrows!

I need to be more calm and not have such a bad attitude just because someone is a muscle woman!

Next time, I'll ask her about her troubles when I have time.

The people in the inn were busy with their final tasks.

And the people of Manshui Village had also gathered over.

They didn't pay much attention to the escort team, but instead pointed fingers at Fang Yue.

"It's him! It's him!"

"Ah, so it's this guy!"

"Damn it! Bullying Team Leader Shan! How could he do it!"

"I heard that Team Leader Shan cried all night after returning!"

"Heartless man! What did he do to Team Leader Shan!"

Fang Yue slowly typed out a question mark.

What's going on? Why does it feel like the direction of public opinion is wrong? I didn't do anything!

"You're Vice Captain Ye?"

Just then, a young man with short white hair walked over.

"You are?"

"Manshui Village Guard Team Second Captain, Qingdu."

So, this was the only Manshui Village captain who hadn't shown his face.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Lan Yuntian and Shan Jing are still fighting over there, I'm here to see you off."

Fang Yue: …

No wonder I didn't see the two who were arguing earlier, so they went to use their real skills.

"Are they okay?"

"It's not their first day, don't worry about them."

"The people are tough, the people are tough."

"It's alright, how much longer will you be ready?"

Fang Yue looked back, the escort team was almost ready and could set off at any time.

"Let's go now, we won't trouble you anymore."

"My suggestion is to rest for another night before setting off. However, Chaoyue Village is indeed very close to us, half a day's journey, and if there are no accidents, we should be able to get there."

With Qingdu's company, Fang Yue led the team to the village entrance.

"You don't have to send us off from here."

"Okay."

Qingdu took another look at someone in Fang Yue's team behind him, and withdrew his gaze.

"Have a safe journey."

"Thank you."

After Qingdu returned to the village, Fang Yue suspiciously followed his gaze and looked at the team, but couldn't see anything.

What did that look mean? It was a bit meaningful…

Fang Yue scratched his head and didn't think too much about it.

With a wave of his hand, the team moved forward along the village road.

"*Waibi waibi*!"

The team hadn't moved forward for many minutes when a voice suddenly sounded.

Fang Yue turned his head to look at the guy lying on the cart with a dark face.

"You're online?"

"Brother Ye, it's time to make money! Where are we in Manshui Village now?"

Niu Niu excitedly sent a message, and then he found that he was on a village road.

"Eh? Eh, eh, eh? Where's Manshui Village?!"

"Manshui Village my foot!"
