"Well, let's go!" After hearing her words, Shadowless glanced up at the large tree and then urged the carriage to leave.
In fact, when Shadowless asked Luo Bingbing that question, he was inquiring about what to do with the person still in the tree. Upon hearing Luo Bingbing say to leave, he understood that there was no need to concern himself with that individual and proceeded to drive away.
As soon as they left, the Imposter Bandit quickly leaped down from the tree to the side of the Mountain Bandit who had been affected by Shadowless. He carefully examined the Mountain Bandit's body and discovered a small hole at the back of his head.
Upon seeing this small hole, he took a closer look at the Mountain Bandit's skin color and realized he had an answer.
It turned out that the Mountain Bandit had been poisoned by a needle, but he did not know what kind of poison it was, as he had never seen it before and had not even heard of it.
At this moment, he became even more curious about Luo Bingbing and her companions.
He slowly got up and raised his hand to strike a casual palm strike. The moment his palm struck, a man in black appeared before him.
The man in black knelt on one knee in front of him and respectfully said, "I pay my respects to you, young master. What orders do you have?"
"Go investigate what poison those Mountain Bandits were affected by just now."
"Yes, I will obey." As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black swiftly disappeared from his sight.
The Imposter Bandit hurriedly chased after Luo Bingbing's carriage. When he saw their carriage not far ahead, he followed closely behind.
Luo Bingbing and Shadowless were fully aware of his presence trailing behind them.
Noticing that he was following closely behind the carriage, An Ruo Ran turned to the Little One who was lazily lying inside the carriage and asked, "Master, should we take care of him?"
Luo Bingbing slightly opened her squinted eyes and lazily replied, "No need. He's just an insignificant person; I don't think he's ordinary either."
After hearing Little One's words, An Ruo Ran quickly replied, "Yes, Master, I understand."
The carriage continued to move slowly forward, while the Imposter Bandit followed at a distance.
In the evening, Luo Bingbing and the others arrived at a small town called Shihua Town. Seeing that it was getting late, they decided to stay at the largest inn in the area.
As soon as Luo Bingbing and the others entered their room, the Imposter Bandit swiftly slipped into the inn and directly showed his jade pendant to the innkeeper.
Upon seeing the pendant, the innkeeper's attitude immediately became very respectful.
The innkeeper invited him to a room in the back of the inn and quickly closed the door behind them.
Then, the innkeeper knelt on one knee before him and respectfully said, "I pay my respects to you, Young Master. I did not know you had arrived and failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive me."
"Get up! Were there not four people who entered the inn just now?"
Hearing his question, the innkeeper was momentarily taken aback but quickly responded, "Yes, Young Master."
"In which rooms are they staying?"
"Reporting to you, Young Master, they are staying in Room One, Room Two, and Room Three of the Earth section."
"Alright, arrange for a room opposite theirs." As soon as he finished speaking, the innkeeper immediately replied, "Yes, Young Master. I will arrange that right away."
After saying this, the innkeeper left the room, and as soon as he did, the Imposter Bandit also quickly departed.
He walked to the edge of the courtyard wall and swiftly leaped out using the Lightness Skill, instantly arriving in the alley next to the inn.
After that, he slowly walked out of the alley and swaggered up to the inn's entrance, loudly calling for the Keeper to arrange a room for him.
Naturally, his room was directly across from Luo Bingbing and her companions.
After resting in their room for a while, Luo Bingbing and her group came out to eat. Upon hearing the sound of their door opening, the Imposter Bandit quickly opened his door and went downstairs to eat.
As soon as Luo Bingbing and her three companions sat at a table, he promptly took a seat at another table beside them.
Seeing him, Luo Bingbing and her companions were not surprised at all. They acted as if they did not see him and did not recognize the man.
Realizing their attitude, the Imposter Bandit couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. After pondering for a moment, he stood up and walked toward Luo Bingbing.
Because he had seen Shadowless, An Ruo Ran, and Mink in the forest before, he recognized Luo Bingbing at first glance as the one who had been in the carriage, also known as the master of Shadowless and the other two.
Although he was quite surprised to see that Luo Bingbing appeared to be only thirteen years old and was a girl, he forced himself to calm down and thought about how to approach them.
However, before he could reach Luo Bingbing's side, he was blocked by Shadowless and An Ruo Ran.
Seeing Shadowless and An Ruo Ran standing in front of him, he immediately smiled and said to them, "Don't worry, I mean no harm. I just want to make friends with you; I have no other intentions."
Although his words were directed at Shadowless and An Ruo Ran, his gaze remained fixed on Luo Bingbing, filled with inquiry.
Feeling his gaze, Luo Bingbing glanced at him lightly. With just one look, she withdrew her gaze.
"Shadow, Aunt Ran, you may leave."
Upon hearing the calm words of Little One, Shadowless and An Ruo Ran immediately returned to their seats. The Imposter Bandit smiled slightly at them and said to Luo Bingbing, "Thank you, miss."
After speaking, he approached Luo Bingbing and said, "I am Shan Kefan. May I have the honor of becoming friends with you?"
Hearing his words, Luo Bingbing did not even lift her eyes and replied directly, "Shan Gongzi, bringing a Human Skin Mask to make friends? Is this your sincerity?"
Shan Kefan was momentarily taken aback by Little One's words, then quickly said to her, "I apologize; it was my rudeness."
As he spoke, he tore off the Human Skin Mask from his face.
Seeing the Human Skin Mask on the ground, Luo Bingbing finally looked up at him and saw his fair and delicate features.
However, he appeared quite frail, like a sickly young master who had been ill for a long time.
While observing him, Luo Bingbing secretly used her Ability to probe into his mind and discovered that he was actually Shan Kefan, the youngest son of the current leader of the martial arts world.
Since birth, he had been afflicted with a persistent poison that had never been expelled from his body.
Although he was poisoned, his martial arts skills were higher than those of his older brothers. Therefore, his status in the family was higher than that of his two elder brothers.
However, due to his need for treatment and detoxification, he often stayed away from home. As a result, his father Shan Fengyang focused on cultivating his older brother Shan Yunbin as the key successor.
This time at the martial arts conference, they were to elect the next leader of the martial arts world, and his father strongly recommended his older brother Shan Yunbin for the position.
At this moment, the inn they were staying in was a small establishment under the Single Family, and the Keeper of that inn was naturally one of their own.
Therefore, when he saw Shan Kefan's jade pendant, he underwent a complete transformation, instantly becoming very respectful towards Shan Kefan.
Upon noticing Luo Bingbing's gaze upon him, Shan Kefan revealed a pleasing smile and lightly nodded at her.
Seeing this, Luo Bingbing said to him, "Young Master Shan, please take a seat!"
Shadowless and the others were quite surprised by the words of the Little One, all thinking to themselves, "Strange, is the sun rising from the west today? When did our master become so easy to talk to?"
However, Shan Kefan was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately sat down on a stool next to Luo Bingbing's table.
"May I ask how to address you, Miss?"
After hearing his question, Luo Bingbing glanced at him lightly and replied, "Wuming," but a flash of brilliance passed through her eyes, quickly vanishing.
Shadowless, An Ruo Ran, and Mink initially thought that their Young Mistress had changed her temperament and become more agreeable. But upon hearing Luo Bingbing refer to herself as "Wuming," they immediately realized that their Young Mistress was playing with the person named Shan Kefan in front of her.
"Oh, so it's Miss Wu!" After a brief pause, he continued to ask, "May I inquire where Miss Wu resides and where you are headed?"
Knowing that their master despised being asked too many questions, Mink immediately interjected, "Hey, fool, are you taking a census or something?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing quickly reprimanded her, saying, "Mink, do not be rude."
Though she scolded her, Shan Kefan did not sense any blame in her words.
So, he quickly smiled and said to Luo Bingbing, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was being rude."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bingbing unexpectedly said, "We are going to Wind Thunder Villa to see the Martial Arts Conference."
Upon hearing her words, An Ruo Ran and the others were extremely surprised, but Shan Kefan happily replied, "Oh! That's perfect! I am also going to Wind Thunder Villa to see the Martial Arts Conference. May I join you?"
This was exactly what Luo Bingbing wanted!
Although she felt secretly pleased, she still directly said to Shan Kefan, "Joining is fine, but Shan Gongzi, our carriage cannot accommodate everyone!"
As soon as Shan Kefan heard this, he immediately said, "No problem, no problem. I have my own horse; I can ride and accompany you."
After hearing this, Luo Bingbing lightly nodded and said, "That would be great."
Then the five of them sat at a table to eat. After finishing their meal, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Shadowless and the others were puzzled by Shan Kefan's true identity and were quite confused by Little One's performance today.
Meanwhile, the innkeeper was also very curious about their Third Young Master. Shan Kefan had been strong since childhood but was very introverted and not good at conversing with others, even his parents were no exception.
Thus, to outsiders, he appeared cold and proud.
However, now the innkeeper saw him actively engaging in conversation with Luo Bingbing and continuously looking for topics to discuss. This truly surprised him.
So after seeing that Shan Kefan and Luo Bingbing had returned to their rooms to rest, he quickly sent a message via carrier pigeon to the leader of the martial arts world, Shan Fengyang, informing him that his Third Young Master Shan Kefan had returned and would also be at Wind Thunder Villa during the Martial Arts Conference.
Upon receiving the news, Shan Fengyang was both surprised and pleased. His Third Son had been away for two years without returning home or sending any word.
In the dead of night, Luo Bingbing and An Ruo Ran heard footsteps on the roof across from them.
At first, they thought it might be a flower thief or a burglar, and they remained on guard. However, the footsteps soon disappeared from Shan Kefan's rooftop.
Then they heard voices coming from Shan Kefan's room.
A strange man could be heard saying, "Reporting to you, my lord, I have secretly checked those Mountain Bandits and found that they have been poisoned with a strange toxin. There are three types of poison in their bodies, but none of them pose a threat to their lives."
Shan Kefan immediately asked, "What kind of poison did they suffer from?"
The strange man hesitated and replied, "Um... I haven't figured that out yet."
"Oh, if even you can't identify those poisons, it means they are certainly not ordinary."
After a brief pause, he continued, "Take the samples you extracted and send them to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for An Zimo to study."
"Yes, my lord. I will go right away." After saying this, he quickly left the room.
Once they heard that the strange man had departed, Luo Bingbing and the others went back to sleep and resumed their game of chess with Zhou Gong.
The next morning, as Luo Bingbing and her companions were heading downstairs for breakfast, Shan Kefan came down shortly after. He shamelessly sat at their table to eat breakfast with them.
After finishing their meal, Luo Bingbing and her companions left the inn to continue their journey, and naturally, he followed closely behind. From that moment on, wherever Luo Bingbing went, his figure would be seen alongside her.
Due to Luo Bingbing and her companions having already left Zhi Jijia, and the Phoenix along with the Snow Spirit Fox remaining in the villa, when Dongfang Hao arrived at Zhi Jijia, he could not find them.
Thus, he stayed there, searching and waiting for news from his subordinates.
Shortly after leaving that small town, Luo Bingbing and her companions arrived at an Official Road.
However, the road was quite narrow, only allowing one carriage to pass through. If two carriages tried to pass simultaneously, it would not be possible.
As a result, Luo Bingbing and her companions' carriage moved even slower.
When they reached an Intersection, a group of people appeared on the adjacent Branch Road. There were riders on tall horses both in front and behind them, seemingly guards. In the middle was a very luxurious-looking carriage.
Nevertheless, Luo Bingbing and her companions' carriage entered the main road first.
However, upon seeing Luo Bingbing's carriage enter the main road, one person from the Branch Road immediately stepped forward to block their path.
After stopping Luo Bingbing's carriage, the person looked at it with a disdainful gaze and coldly said, "Lowly commoners, seeing our princess's carriage, why do you not quickly move aside? Hurry up and retreat!"
