In the late afternoon, Zhao Lingfeng intended to accompany Lu Jiao back to the Xie residence. In the morning, he had promised Scholar Xie to personally escort her, so he intended to keep his word.

However, before Zhao Lingfeng could send Lu Jiao off, he saw that Xie Yunjin had sent Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong to pick her up.

With so many people accompanying her, Lu Jiao didn’t need Zhao Lingfeng to send her off and refused his offer.

“I have so many people around me escorting me, you don’t need to accompany me.”

When he heard this, Zhao Lingfeng protested, “In the morning, I promised Scholar Xie to bring you back safely. If I don’t send you off now, wouldn’t I be going back on my word? If anything happens to you later, Scholar Xie will surely hold me accountable.”

Lu Jiao smiled and pointed to Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong behind her, saying, “Didn’t you say they’re capable? Since they are, what are you worried about? Rest assured.’

In fact, Lu Jiao had a plan in mind. If those people really came to attack her, she wouldn’t mind capturing a few of them alive and then investigating who was behind them. If those people remained tight-lipped, she wouldn’t mind making someone testify against Yang and Peng.

Thinking about this, teased Zhao Lingfeng, “Unless you were lying and they’re not that capable.”

Zhao Lingfeng suddenly became speechless, realizing that his own words had been used against him.

After looking at Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong, Zhao Lingfeng felt that he didn’t need to worry. But considering he would pick up his daughter, he smiled at Lu Jiao and said, “Actually, I’m not here just to send you off. I’m also here to pick up Yuluo and, coincidentally, send you off.”

Lu Jiao had nothing to say and nodded, “Alright, let’s go.”

Lu Jiao, accompanied by Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu, boarded Uncle Lin’s carriage, while Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong drove another carriage behind to protect Lu Jiao.

As for Zhao Lingfeng, he naturally rode in the Zhao family’s carriage, following behind the two carriages.

Although it was almost evening, the streets were still bustling. Many people were engaged in small businesses, and there were plenty of shoppers.

If they were to ride along this lively street, it would be impossible for anyone to come and capture Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao suddenly had an idea and instructed Uncle Lin to take a detour.

Uncle Lin hesitated for a moment but didn’t say much. He followed Lu Jiao’s orders.

The carriages quickly turned onto another street. Both sides of this street were residential, so it was quite deserted at the moment. Apart from one or two pedestrians passing by in the distance, there was no one else.

Lu Jiao had a vague feeling in her heart that those people tailing her would definitely make a move. They surely would.

After the three carriages had been traveling on the secluded brick road for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, figures emerged from the darkness.

As they moved, Ruan Zhu, who was inside the carriage, turned her head and said to Lu Jiao, “Madam, someone is approaching, and they’re skilled.”

Lu Jiao nodded in excitement and spoke up, “Good, capture them alive.”

Ruan Zhu responded with a nod and swiftly leaped out of the carriage. At the same time, beside Uncle Lin, Ruan Kai also shot out in front of the carriage.

Behind them, Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong quickly controlled the horses and rushed over. They stood on the left and right sides of the carriage, protecting it.

Zhao Lingfeng also brought two subordinates and rushed over. He stood on one side of the carriage and reassured Lu Jiao inside.

“Don’t worry, Lady Lu. Nothing will happen.” was not worried. She lifted the curtain and looked at Zhao Lingfeng

outside the carriage, “It’s alright, I’m not worried.”

As the words fell, over a dozen people emerged from the shadows and surrounded Lu Jiao’s carriage.

Lu Jiao lifted the curtain and looked outside without a trace of fear. On the contrary, she was excited. Was she going to witness a battle between martial artists?

In front of the carriage, a masked black-clad person raised his hand and pointed towards the carriage, shouting loudly, “Our target this time is Lady Lu. The others can leave.”

If this were an ordinary person without martial arts skills, they would probably flee. Unfortunately, Ruan Kai, Ruan Zhu, Li Nantian, and the others were all martial artists and were not afraid of the opposing side.

Inside the carriage, Lu Jiao instructed the people outside, saying, “Capture two or three individuals alive.”

“Yes, Madam.”

The people outside responded, and two figures swiftly shot out.

It was Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu, with Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong staying behind to protect Madam Lu.

Ruan Kai rushed towards the black-clad person while Ruan Zhu’s target was the same. Like shooting stars, they moved swiftly and in the blink of an eye, each of them had a weapon in their hands.

Ruan Kai wielded a black whip, while Ruan Zhu held a soft sword.

The siblings, armed with weapons, transformed into deadly killers.

Especially Ruan Zhu, the charming young girl, her figure flickered like a ghost. She constantly shuffled through the group of black-clad individuals, leaving a trail of death in her wake. With her long sword resembling a swimming dragon, every step she took was accompanied by the sound of blood splattering.

In the blink of an eye, numerous black-clad individuals fell, but she was still eager to kill. Ruan Kai couldn’t help but shout, “Sister, capture two alive.”

Ruan Zhu finally slowed down her movements slightly and left behind two captives.

Ruan Kai’s martial arts skills were also formidable, but to be honest, compared to Ruan Zhu, he was slightly inferior. Ruan Zhu’s killing prowess was nothing like that of a young girl. She was like a murderous specter.

Inside and outside the carriage, Lu Jiao and Zhao Lingfeng watched in astonishment.

Although Zhao Lingfeng had quite a few guards skilled in martial arts by his side, in reality, among all the guards, only one could match the skill of this Ruan Zhu. Perhaps some of them couldn’t even measure up to her.

This young girl’s martial arts skills were indeed incredibly formidable. It was

fortunate that she ended up in Lu Jiao’s hands. If she had fallen into the hands of someone else, she might have become a tool for killing.

As Zhao Lingfeng looked at the black-clad individuals, who were also skilled and numerous, he couldn’t help but think that they never would have dreamed of encountering someone like Ruan Zhu, a formidable killing machine.

Not only the opposing side, even Lu Jiao hadn’t expected Ruan Zhu’s martial arts skills to be so powerful.

This talented girl, Ruan Zhu, was actually willing to be given to Lu Jiao by Lady Tian. Lu Jiao found it somewhat inconceivable and raised her eyebrows, pondering the matter.

Soon, she figured out why Lady Tian had sent Ruan Zhu to her—it was because she valued talent.

Ruan Zhu was a martial arts expert, but she had a very pure and sincere character and lacked worldly experience. If someone else had discovered her, they would likely try to keep her by their side and turn her into a killing machine. In that case, Ruan Zhu would be ruined.

Lady Tian believed in her character and, combined with their family’s intention to show gratitude, decided to send Ruan Zhu over. This way, Ruan Zhu wouldn’t be ruined, and their family would undoubtedly owe a favor to the Tian family.

As Lu Jiao pondered, she quickly looked outside. Ruan Zhu had already put away her soft sword and was smiling as she dragged two black-clad individuals over. She no longer had the appearance of a fierce killer..
