That night, three groups of people stayed up all night. One is Yun Ming, who is studying the [Self-Reliance] skill. The second is Wei Nan, who has worked hard to prepare for the kidnapping operation. The third... is a strange trio. The three people who make up this combination are: Master Lu of the Renaissance Organization, Zhong Yi, the former Operations Director of BTS Headquarters, and Cavelyn Alice, the former bodyguard of the late Derek Chapman.
And their current location is: Longjun-Jiangxi-Longhu Mountain.
…………
At 5:39 in the morning on September 5th, in a woodland at the northern foot of Longhu Mountain, Zhong Yi and Kai Fulin were following Master Lu's order to rest in place for a while and admire the mountains. Magnificent sunrise.
However, it is obvious that only Master Lu among the three has the leisure and leisure to appreciate the natural scenery. It is difficult to say that Zhong Yi and Caiflin are in good condition at the moment.
"How long...do we...have to...walk..."
Kevlin said breathlessly. Her Chinese proficiency is actually very weak, but she can speak this sentence quite fluently. This is entirely because she has been asked about this sentence too many times in the past few hours.
Master Lu's response was the same as the previous answers, perfunctory: "Soon, soon."
Limited by her ability to speak in Chinese, Caiflin could no longer argue with Master Lu. Zhong Yi took over the conversation at the right time: "Master, that's what you said two hours ago."
"It's really fast this time. It's just over the ridge in front."
As the saying goes, look at the mountain and run to death. The two of them looked in the direction Master Lu pointed, and sighed in unison - with their pace, it would be considered Amitabha if they arrived before ten o'clock in the morning.
This is definitely not an attempt by Zhong Yi and Caiflin to embarrass ghost-level ability users. A person with abilities of this level has extremely strong physical strength, not to mention that Zhong Yi also has unparalleled powers to sustain his stamina. But despite this, they couldn't stand the ten-hour night march through the jungle, which had started at around seven o'clock last night, and they had not had a drop of water or food during this period.
Master Lu also climbed all the way up from the foot of the mountain, but his condition was much better than the other two, and he almost didn't even break a sweat. This is of course not due to physical differences between people, but because this guy actually brought a mount.
Zhong Yi and Caiflin couldn't figure out how the rich man with a Chinese character in front of them disguised the eight-legged mountain-type off-road vehicle called "Steel Spider" sitting under his butt into an inconspicuous person. The suitcase can be checked in successfully at the airport, but the security scanner can't detect any abnormalities.
This group of three people appeared in Longhu Mountain at this time. Naturally, they were not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. In fact, due to the butterfly effect brought about by the Fire Battle, there is no Longhu Mountain Scenic Area in this plane. The mountain is an undeveloped wilderness. Not to mention the cableway and cable car up the mountain, there are not even stone steps. The three of them had to cut the grass and cut the grass to clear the way.
The purpose of their trip was to find the two master hermits who lived on Longhu Mountain, the teachers who would arrange special training for Zhong Yi and Caiflin, and Master Lu was leading the way. Although the two ghost-level ability users didn't quite believe that there could be any reclusive outsider in this place who could teach them, they had already come here after all, so they couldn't return empty-handed.
If it ends like that, for Lu Yin's sake, Zhong Yi won't take out Master Lu as the target of his anger. As for Caiflin, it's hard to say whether she can resist taking action against the latter.
…………
From the perspective of Caiflin Alice, what she has encountered in the past few days can be called "magic".
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
First, he was imprisoned by Xiao Qi in the Book of Self-Atonement to kill zombies. After being released, he learned that his old club, Terry Chapman, was dead. Less than twelve hours after he changed his job and joined Gordon Gardner, he Playing for his life with the legendary monster Kraken in Manila Bay; he was half drowned in the sea, and before he fell into coma, Haolai struggled to pull him ashore. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had arrived in Long County, surrounded by people he didn't know and claimed to be The guy from the "Temple Organization".
Caiflin originally thought that she and Zhong Yi, who was brought here together, could just make a pair of brothers in need. Unexpectedly, everyone in the temple revealed his identity to Zhong Yi. After the latter learned that all this was arranged by Lu Yin, he stopped saying anything. This made Caiflin feel even more uneasy, and she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the BTS minister with whom she had never interacted before, who was codenamed Listening in the underground world, was selling in the gourd.
The fear caused by this uncertainty about the future has always been with Caiflin. Under this heavy psychological burden, she, Zhong Yi, and Master Lu climbed another hill, and it was almost noon.
Fortunately, Master Lu was finally reliable. He really didn't lie this time. Behind the mountain ridge, in the hinterland of the Longhu Mountains, there are actually people.
The three of them walked through the nursery vegetable fields that were full of traces of care. The fields under their feet were solid and solid. Walking with them in the fields, there was also a group of poultry that were not afraid of animals. There are about a hundred of these free-range chickens, ducks and geese mixed together. Each one is smooth and oily, and the meat is thick and fatty. It is obvious that they are eating well on weekdays. Their owners actually let these greedy guys wander around without fear of them ruining the vegetable plot.
A gray-headed old man with a tiger beard, a steel beard, an open chest, and muscular body was standing at the end of the field ridge. After Master Lu saw this person from a distance, he stopped his mechanical mount, deformed the steel spider and retracted it into a suitcase, and dragged it forward.
"Xiao Lu, why are you here so late? The breakfast I prepared earlier was overheated, but you are nowhere to be seen."
The old man chatted cordially with Master Lu, and there was no hint of annoyance in his words.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhu. We walked over mountains and ridges all night. It's really hard to walk at night."
"Thank you for your hard work. The two people behind you must be Xiao Zhong and Xiao Lin. Oh, you are exhausted from watching this journey. Come on, come on. We will reach the house after a few more steps." Mr. Zhu said happily. He greeted her vigorously, with the enthusiasm that he had not received a visitor for a long time: "Lu Yin has told me everything. You two will rest here for a long time, and then I will take Xiaolin to Granny Mei."
"Thank you very much." Zhong Yi expressed gratitude from the bottom of his heart. He managed to restrain himself from grabbing the tomatoes on the side of the road: "Old man, I don't know what to call him?"
"Oh? You came to me to learn from me, but you still don't know my name." Old Zhu smiled and said, "You can just use the code name."
"I, Zhu Yan, am a boxer."
…………
Since Zhu Yan calls himself a boxer, it is impossible for him to give advice on Kevlin's martial arts. The latter is an assassin who specializes in weapons and blades. But soon, Caiflin met the master Di Ting arranged for her at Zhu Yan's home, namely "Mother Mei" whose name has appeared above.
Zhu Yan's home is a brick house that is very common in rural areas. The furnishings in the house are not unusual. Except for the solar panels placed on the roof and the generator below, it is just an ordinary house. There was no sign of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the farmyard. The five people sat around a table in a spacious and bright tile-roofed room, where Master Lu introduced the master and apprentice to each other.

It can be said that Zhu Yan's appearance can make others see at a glance that he was definitely a practitioner when he was young, and even as he got older, he probably didn't give up all his skills. However, Granny Mei's aura is particularly restrained and plain. Wearing Jing's robe, she completely looks like a kind old woman who is calm, peaceful and unconcerned with the world.
"What can an old woman who seems so powerless teach me?" Caiflin said in her heart that she had been tricked by Lu Yin.
Like Caiflin, who was judging people by their appearance, Granny Mei was also looking at the disciple delivering goods to her door:
"Huh? Xiao Lu didn't tell me beforehand that my new apprentice is a foreigner."
"Grandma Mei, times have changed a long time ago. What's more, even in your hometown, there are not a few foreigners traveling to and from the southeastern coast for trade."
It's strange that even though they are of the same age, Zhu Yan still calls her "Mother Mei" even when talking in person.
"I'm not an old feudalist. I just don't know what this foreign girl's qualifications are like, and how they compare with Wu Chang and Yun Zhongjun."
Grandma Mei's tone was calm, as if she was just chatting about ordinary things. She casually picked up a piece of bamboo chopsticks from the table, waved it twice to test the portion, and then stabbed it towards Cavelin who was sitting opposite her: "Let me test it first."
Caiflin, whose police string was always broken, did not feel caught off guard. For such a tentative attack, she did not need to use her powers in a big way. Caiflin just pushed her right leg towards the ground, and she and the chair suddenly retreated due to the reaction force, easily avoiding the blow.
Granny Mei's attack was not over yet. She easily turned over the table and came to Caiflin, probing frequently. Caiflin's performance was very skillful. She also grabbed a chopstick and asked Mrs. Mei to do it. I want to fight. For a while, the only sound in the room was the "snap" of bamboo chopsticks intersecting, but the other three were indifferent to it. They could all see that the fight between master and disciple was just a matter of click and release.
"How about you and I practice together for a while?" Zhong Yi, who was excited to watch the battle, turned to Zhu Yan and asked.
"That's not necessary." Zhu Yanle took a sip of tea happily: "I still have good eyesight. I can tell at a glance that you are definitely a good boxer. There is no need to bother with it."
As she spoke, Granny Mei finished her examination of Caiflin: "It's not bad, a bit weak, better than that kid Wuchang, but not as interesting as Yun Zhongjun."
Caiflin threw away her chopsticks and sat back at the table: "Chinese people are not simple. Their moves are really vicious. I also recognize you as my master."
Zhu Yan on the side said slowly: "This foreign girl, your master was a saint of the devil's sect when she was young, a leader among the new generation of martial arts. Do you think her moves can't be ruthless?"
Demonic Cult? Saint? Wulin?
Zhong Yi and Caiflin looked at Zhu Yan in surprise. They did not expect that the latter would say such contradictory words.
"Yes, I can see from the looks of you two that Lu Yin won't tell you anything."
Zhu Yan drank the tea in one gulp, then put down the empty cup, raised his finger and pointed at Granny Mei: "Both of us are travelers from different worlds."
"Are you from the martial arts plane?" Zhong Yi asked.
"She is, but I am not." Zhu Yan scratched his head and thought for a while: "My parallel universe was already in 2125 before I traveled through it. For you, it is the future era."
"If I really want to describe it, it should be regarded as a pan-martial plane."
