Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 557 - 556: Stopping

Du Bingxue wanted to follow them out, but feared disturbing the head of the Zhao Family across the way, so he could only sit anxiously in the private room, waiting.

Shen Qinglan followed the man downstairs. Since there were officers and soldiers out on the street, the man looked left and right, then went straight out the back door.

She followed the man and climbed over the wall to leave through the back door. Suddenly, a row of soldiers appeared, and the man quickly turned into a corner to hide.

Shen Qinglan also found a corner to hide in, but her eyes were fixed on the direction where the man was hiding.

After the soldiers had gone far away, the man waited a moment longer before emerging from the corner again.

Shen Qinglan looked behind her and, seeing no one was following, continued to follow along.

She didn’t know how many alleys they had turned through or how many times they had avoided the soldiers until the man suddenly stopped in front of a patch of woods, turned his head, and coldly said, "You’ve followed me for so long, don’t you plan to come out?"

Shen Qinglan waited for a moment and, seeing no one else came out, was certain he was talking to her.

She brushed off the leaves on her head, then, holding the Jingyu Sword, walked out unhurriedly.

The place was very quiet, surrounded by forest, with no other sound but the birds and the wind.

The man was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that the person following him turned out to be a teenage girl.

Even so, he did not lower his guard and asked, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

Shen Qinglan smiled faintly, "The one who wants your life."

"Want my life?" The man snorted coldly, "Ridiculous, a little girl dares to spout wild words in front of me, truly the fearless young calf."

"A tiger?" Shen Qinglan curled her lips, "In my eyes, you’re at most a cat."

The man said impatiently, "Tell me your identity, and I’ll let you go."

"The only thing I can tell you," Shen Qinglan replied as she looked at him, "is that I’m not from your Nanfeng Country, nor do I belong to any faction."

"Not from Nanfeng Country?" The man’s eyes narrowed, "If so, why are you getting involved?"

Shen Qinglan leaned against a big tree and said indifferently, "It’s simple, your family’s fat young master offended me, so I can’t stand your whole Zhao Family."

"The young master?" The man’s gaze deepened, "In that case, I’m afraid I can’t let you go."

He drew a short sword from his waist and lunged at Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan swiftly drew the Jingyu Sword, blocking his short sword.

The vast forest echoed with a resounding "clang——".

"Jingyu Sword!" The man’s eyes narrowed again, "Who are you?"

Shen Qinglan didn’t reply. She used the Jingyu Sword to flick away his short sword, then delivered a kick to his chest.

The man crashed heavily against a big tree, then slid down with a "huff," spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Ugh——" Clutching his chest, he looked at Shen Qinglan in terror and asked, "What is your relationship with Chu Wuqu?"

Shen Qinglan pointed the Jingyu Sword at his throat and said calmly, "Fiancée of his little apprentice."

"His little apprentice? You’re Duan Yunfei’s fiancée?" The man was greatly shocked, and he couldn’t help but curse his family’s inept young master for causing trouble.

Why provoke anyone, why provoke these Jianghu people?

In their eyes, power and status mean nothing. Offending them means offending demons; if you can’t kill them, they can come to claim your life anytime.

Shen Qinglan looked at the man and said softly, "Sorry!"

The Jingyu Sword slashed, a streak of red splashed, staining the nearby big tree.
