"It's really a monstrous wolf..."

  Standing on the roof and looking towards the dire of Yanglu Mountain, Xu Taiping saw a huge wolf running swiftly through the mountains and forests.

  At first, he wasn't too surprised. After all, the Jade Scroll of Transmitting Teiques had already mentiohat besides the residences designated by the sect, there could be demonic beasts anywhere in these mountains.

  However, gradually, he began to feel that something was nht.

  Because soon, he saw a sed and third wolf, both chasing in the dire of going down the mountain.

  "Help, help!"

  "Is there ao save me?"

  Just as Xu Taiping was curious about what these three wolves were chasing, a woman's cry for help suddenly echoed in the mountains.

  Upon hearing this voice, Xu Taiping's ears twitched, and he immediately circuted his True Qi to his eyes, fog on the dire where the sound came from.

  This was the method of enhang vision taught in the martial teique "Pierg Yang Arrow".

  With this spell, the se in Yanglu Mountain, a couple of miles away, became clear in Xu Taiping's eyes. He quickly spotted a delicate woman running frantically in the mountains, evading the pursuit of the three wolves.

  "Where did this sister e from? I don't remember there being any cultivators near Green Bamboo Residence."

  Xu Taiping uzzled.

  "Is there anyone? Is there anyone in the front yard? I'm injured, help, save me!"

  The woman ran with her hand c her bleeding shoulder, seemingly notig Green Bamboo Residence.

  "Fet it, don't think too much, saving people is the priority."

  Xu Taiping shook his head, then took out his bow and arrow from his back, preparing to shoot. Using the luck teique of "Pierg Yang Arrow," he gathered the residual True Qi from his dantian to the arrow.

  In an instant, a yer of ice covered the arrow.

  "Bang!"

  Just as the wolf to the woman, only five hundred meters away from Green Bamboo Residence, Xu Taiping released the b, shooting the arrow along with the fully drawn b.

  "Swoosh!"

  Apanied by a sharp sound breaking through the air, the arrow enveloped in residual True Qi hit the wolf's forehead directly, pierg through it like a sword.

  After mastering how to use residual True Qi, Xu Taiping's arrow had far surpassed its previous power.

  "Ah..."

  The wolf let out a miserable cry ao the ground.

  The other two wolves in the back, upon seeing this se, were frightened and ran bato the mountains, no longer daring to chase.

  The woman was initially startled, but when she saw the two wolves fleeing and noticed Xu Taiping standing on the roof, she burst into tears of joy.

  "Thank you, young hero, for saving my life."

  The woman almost crawled to the front yard of Green Bamboo Residence.

  From her nervous expression as she occasionally looked back, it seemed that she still had lingering fear of those wolves.

  "The two wolves have already run away, you don't o worry."

  Xu Taiping turned his head to look at the woman at the entrance.

  The girl, around fifteen or sixteen years old, etite aiful, resembling the wealthy young dies from Xu Taiping's hometown.

  "Well, thanks to the young hero, otherwise I would have bee the meal of those two wolves."

  The girl patted her chest in fear, then gratefully asked Xu Taiping, "May I ask how to address the young hero?"

  "My surname is Xu, given aiping. You just call me Taiping, sister."

  Xu Taiping replied.

  He was still standing on the roof, holding the bow and arrow in his hand, and his gaze towards the woman was obviously cautious.

  "Little hero Taiping, I am Liu Qingmei, a Named Disciple of the Outer Disciples of Qingxua. A few days ago, when I was gathering herbs in the nearby mountains on a spirit bird, I lost my way. Along the way, I entered these wolves and could only flee until I was chased here."

  As Liu Qingmei spoke, she took out a bronze mirror from her bosom.

  Seeing this bronze mirror, Xu Taiping's wariness immediately lessened.

  Only Outer Disciples had this Spirit Mirror, so the fact that the girl possessed it firmed her identity.

  "May I ask, Little Hero Taiping, if Liu Qingmei stay here for the night? The sun has already set, and it is very inveo travel at night with my injuries."

  Liu Qingmei pleaded with Xu Taiping.

  "Alright... Huh?"

  Xu Taiping was about to agree, as he had already firmed the other party's identity. However, before he could finish speaking, his eyes iently swept over the woman's footwear.The woman was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes, with a thousand-yer sole. On the surface, they were just a pair of extremely ordinary cloth shoes. However, after sidering what she had said earlier, Xu Taipi something was off—

  The shoes were too .

  "Let's not talk about whether it's appropriate to wear these cloth shoes while gathering herbs. Just the fact that she was chased by the demon wolf for a day, yet her shoes remain intact, is enough to prove that she's lying," Xu Taiping thought to himself.

  "Sister Qingmei, my home is simple, you might not be used to it."

  Xu Taiping leaped onto the top of the courtyard gate, then said without any ge in his expression.

  "Young hero is joking. I,Liu Qingmei, have fallen to such a state, how I be picky? Besides, although my family was retively wealthy when I was a child, by the time I was ten, we had fallen into poverty. After ing to Yunlu Mountain, I've gotteo this hard life. As long as I have a pce to stay, I won't be picky."

  Liu Qingmei said with a bitter smile.

  The woman in front of him spoke sincerely. If Xu Taiping hadn't already seen through her lies, he might have eve sympathy for her.
