Elder Cheng, watching Yang Fei lose himself in thought, didn't bother to hide his concerns.

He began to introduce someone to Yang Fei.

"This is Elder Liang's eldest son, among the second-generation disciples he is considered an extremely formidable master."

As Elder Cheng spoke to this point, he gave a bitter smile.

"Miss Xiao's Martial Arts are the extremely rare 'Twin Life-Stealing Kill', elusive and ruthlessly sinister, making her utterly unpredictable and hard to defend against."

"Furthermore, her level in Martial Arts has already reached the Energy Transformation level."

"Because of the characteristics of her Cultivation Technique, in direct combat, although she is formidable, a disciple at the Energy Transformation level can still restrain her."

"But if she harbors a killing intent, using assassination and sneak attacks..."

"Even for us four old men, a moment of carelessness could mean death at her hands."

"Therefore, we have no choice but to mobilize our most elite disciples for strict defense."

Upon saying this, Elder Cheng let out a sigh.

"In fact, these past few days, Miss Xiao has been giving us a great deal of trouble."

"Her 'Twin Life-Stealing Kill' is too formidable, and even the three top disciples at the Energy Transformation level have been injured by her to varying degrees."

As he spoke, he gestured for Yang Fei to look at the neck of the man rowing the boat.

"This eldest disciple was stabbed with chopsticks by Miss Xiao yesterday while serving her meal, nearly losing his life."

Upon inspection, Yang Fei noticed that the man rowing the boat indeed had his neck bandaged, with traces of blood seeping through.

Yang Fei couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

He had been constantly worried about Xiao Xuanya.

But now it seemed that he had been overthinking it.

This little demon always hid her abilities, never showing off.

In fact, her realm in Martial Arts was definitely not inferior to the Three Swords.

Xiao Xuanya might be unable to escape from Green Lotus Lodge.

But the people of Mystic Hawk Pavilion were equally helpless against her.

After all, Mystic Hawk Pavilion is a righteous force in the martial arts world; they can't simply kill people at will.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Xiao Xuanya has a direct connection with the missing Sacred Object.

If they killed Xiao Xuanya, they might never find the Sacred Object again.

No one dares to take lightly the Sacred Object left by the Pavilion Master.

Fearing damaging the valuable, the people of Mystic Hawk Pavilion found themselves at a disadvantage against Xiao Xuanya.

As the two conversed, the man rowing the boat kept a wooden expression on his face and refused to utter a single word.

Soon, the small boat reached the opposite shore and docked at a tiny wooden boathouse.

In just that short span of time,

Yang Fei had already spotted seven or eight masters hidden among the small boats deep within the lotus flowers, all around the lake.

All of these people were on high alert, guarding Green Lotus Lodge.

It was easy to see just how wary Mystic Hawk Pavilion was of Xiao Xuanya's unpredictable assassination techniques.

These masters, like the man rowing the boat, all wore grim wooden expressions, their eyes cold and fatal.

Yet none of them spoke or greeted Elder Cheng.

Elder Cheng seemed somewhat apologetic.

Yang Fei, however, understood the feelings of these guarding masters very well,

It was like being assigned to watch over a colorful but highly venomous little snake,

Not only could you not kill it, but you also had to be alert at all times to prevent it from suddenly striking, what a frustration.

Elder Cheng watched as the boat reached shore, giving a bitter smile.

"I won't accompany the Alliance Hierarch inside."

"Miss Xiao has always had a great prejudice against our Mystic Hawk Pavilion, and I hope the Alliance Hierarch can help resolve it."

Yang Fei nodded in understanding, stood up, and stepped onto the dock.

He walked with large strides toward Green Lotus Lodge, letting out a long and resonant call.

"Miss Xiao, Yang Fei is here to take you home."

Although he did not utilize the Tiger Roar Mind Method, his call naturally resonated through the mountains and forests, carrying far and wide.

Atop a small wooden building in Green Lotus Lodge,

Xiao Xuanya, dressed in a green cheongsam, was lazily lying on a couch.

Upon hearing Yang Fei's long roar, she was immediately stunned.

Xiao Xuanya's eyes reddened, tears swirling in her eyes.

She murmured, "The man of my dreams is a peerless hero."

"I believe that one day, he definitely will one day come to fetch me wearing the Golden Sacred Armor, riding on the Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds..."

"He really did come."

Yang Fei's persistent roar was followed by his steady steps approaching the wooden buildings of Green Lotus Lodge.

"Miss Xiao, I'm here to take you home."

From the east-side wooden building, Xiao Xuanya rushed out, standing at the top of the stairs.

She was dressed in a green cheongsam embroidered with a branch of plum blossoms at the chest, ethereal and graceful as if a lady from a painting.

Xiao Xuanya stared at Yang Fei downstairs, her eyes moist and reddening.

"You've come."

After a few days apart, this originally enchanting and beautiful fairy seemed to have gained a touch of the Immortal Spirit Qi.

This impressed Yang Fei.

He chuckled, "Miss Xiao, Yang Fei is late, you've suffered."

Xiao Xuanya felt a mix of shock and joy.

However, the words she had secretly hoped for Yang Fei to say remained unsaid, leaving her somewhat disappointed.

Xiao Xuanya cast a coquettish glance at Yang Fei.

"I've had good food and accommodations here, living comfortably, why did you come to fetch me?"

With that, Yang Fei was left dumbfounded.

He had not expected Xiao Xuanya's first sentence to be such a question.

He hesitated for a moment before carefully choosing his words, speaking cautiously.

"Miss Xiao is a client of Changfeng Security Company, and I, as the Chief Bodyguard, have failed in my duty. I'm now making amends."

Xiao Xuanya was taken aback, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her from head to toe.

All her sweetness and emotion suddenly froze over.

She sighed.

"So, you came here, not shying away from danger, to Mystic Hawk Pavilion Headquarters, just because I'm a client of Changfeng Security Company."

As she spoke, her face turned incredibly cold.

"You really are a dedicated and responsible bodyguard, I should thank you."

Yang Fei had not anticipated that her thoughts would be so complex.

He saw that although Xiao Xuanya's words were laced with sarcasm, the expression on her face was one of profound sadness.

Suddenly, an idea struck Yang Fei: "This trip to Hua Xia Garden was both official business and personal."

Xiao Xuanya uttered an "oh": "What is the official business, and what is personal?"

Yang Fei coughed twice.

"The official business, of course, is because Miss Xiao's identity is that of a client of Changfeng Security Group."

"But the personal matter is because Xiao Xuanya is my woman."

"As a man, if I can't even protect my own woman, how can I have the face to live in this world."

Xiao Xuanya's heart trembled, and it felt like it had been hit by a blissful bullet.

Pain, sweetness, trembling, sourness...

All sorts of strange feelings intertwined in Xiao Xuanya's heart.

Her cheeks flushed red, her eyes brimming with glistening tears, as her pearly white teeth bit down hard on her cherry lips.

"What did you say, say it again?"

Yang Fei chuckled and took broad steps up the stairs.

He wrapped his arms around Xiao Xuanya's tender body.

"I said you're my woman, and I will protect you for the rest of my life,"

Yang Fei's last words, like the most potent Bewitching Fragrance, immediately captivated Xiao Xuanya, leaving her body limp.

She could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.

"You've finally accepted me, do you know? From the first moment I saw you, I couldn't bring myself to be harsh to you,"

"An assassin, to have fallen in love with her target, sob sob."

As she spoke, Xiao Xuanya finally began to sob.

She lay in Yang Fei's arms, unwilling to rise again.
