he glanced at the white cat and said, "None of the villagers in Heitiao Gulch died. Gu Tiannan, as long as he isn't an idiot, would definitely sense something is amiss. By the time I get reinforcement...After much effort, Bai Jianglan persuaded Chun Tao to go back. He then ordered someone to help Qin Sang up.

"Brother Qin, Miss Chun Tao is also worried about Miss's safety. It was unavoidable. Don't take it to heart. Please rest in the tail hold for one night. I will have someone bring you some food later. When we reach the Three Witches City wharf, we will send you ashore. The Three Witches City is a hub connecting north and south, a place where merchants must pass through. Perhaps there are people from your hometown..."

Qin Sang was overwhelmed with gratitude. Remembering the two money pouches on his person, he took them out and said, "Brother Bai, I can't repay your life-saving grace. This gold and silver came from the two bandits I killed. Please don't mind if it's soiled..."

"Oh!"

Bai Jianglan's face was full of displeasure as he pushed Qin Sang's hand away.

"Bai, in his past days, was unskilled in martial arts. As he traveled the world, many chivalrous heroes aided him, allowing him to reach where he is today. Now, he merely imitates those sages by performing small acts of righteousness. Do not mention silver or money again; otherwise, I shall throw you overboard!"

Qin Sang's face was flushed and she leaned on her hand.

The person supporting him smiled and said, "Big Boss Bai's annual salary is over a thousand taels of silver. He wouldn't covet your money. This was earned with your life, keep it to go home and marry a wife."

The stern was divided into several compartments, originally where the sailors rested. Now it was filled with miscellaneous items. I found one that was relatively clean. It was piled high with straw, and a bed was brought down on top. Although simple, it was something Qin Sang hadn't dared to dream of in the past month.

After settling Qin Sang, Bai Jianglan led his men back onto the boat. Soon, someone brought down a set of old clothes and hot food. Qin Sang wolfed it down, but couldn't taste anything.

After changing into his clothes and tucking himself under the covers, Qin Sang lay awake for a long while, lost in thought, before finally drifting off to sleep.

Before going to sleep, he touched the ebony sword and the few things on his chest again, resisting the urge to take them out and look.

I slept soundly through the night.

Qin Sang opened his eyes, feeling the rocking of the boat cabin. He had never felt so full of energy before.

This is the end of a paragraph.

My stomach is rumbling again. I don't know what time it is.

Qin Sang sat up, found a stick, and slowly stood up. He used his feet to push off the ground, leaning on the stick for support. To his surprise, he was able to move slowly. He couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of internal energy once more.

He moved step by step, walking to the ladder leading to the stern. He heard panting sounds coming from above. A head popped out, it was the man who helped him yesterday.

"Qin brother woke up!"

That man jumped in with a scolding, “Your leg isn’t healed yet, how did you get up on your own I was waiting for you above. If you called out, I would have come down. Come, let's go below deck to get some fresh air, and I'll help you up. It's still early, not even time for breakfast. Big White is teaching the brothers martial arts on deck. The ship has already passed Nine-Layered Gorge and is almost to Sanwu City. We can send you ashore after breakfast…”

Qin Sang looked at the person calmly. He was about the same age as her, lively and talkative, never stopping talking.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"What is your name, sir"

“My name is Zhou Ning. I'm good at swimming, so everyone calls me Water Monkey. The water calmed down after passing the Sanwu City, but it's a pity you have to disembark soon and won't be able to eat the river fish I caught. Let me tell you, the Jiuxu fish in this Wuling River is the freshest, but it doesn't take bait and can't be caught in a net. Besides me, few people can catch them.”

"Oh, it's Big Brother Zhou," As he spoke, the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter. Qin Sang hurriedly interrupted, "I wonder how much Big Brother Zhou knows about Sanwu City I'm just new here, could you give me some pointers"

No problem!

As they spoke, the two climbed onto the deck.

It was just dawn when a thick fog rose over the river, obscuring the green hills on the shore. All that could be seen was a vast expanse of white mist, and the river wind was biting cold.

On deck, those burly men seen yesterday were all wearing standard-issue short jackets, with the character 'East' painted in white on their backs. Undeterred by the cold, they lined up and practiced punches, their sweat mingling with the rising mist under the hot sun.

The Ninth Form, Furious Dragon Crushing the Mountain!

Bai Jianglan held a short stick in his hand, his expression stern. Anyone who made even the slightest mistake would receive a blow to their back, but no one cried out in pain, nor did anyone resist.

"These three witch cities are collectively led by the Wulingjiang water system. Because of its location, people from several countries to the southwest who come to the Sui Dynasty must pass through Sanwu City. There are countless merchants, and all kinds of people from the Three Teachings and Nine Streams can be found here, especially at the first ferry crossing, which is the most chaotic. Brother Qin, you have no martial arts, so once you disembark, you must be careful and keep your money bag well hidden. Don't lose a single penny, otherwise, you will surely encounter trouble. Once you find your fellow villagers, hurry home..."

Under Qin Sang's unassuming guidance, Zhou Ning became increasingly excited and continued to talk nonstop. Qin Sang listened attentively.

At this moment, Qin Sang realized that this place was no longer Ningguo, his hometown.

> Dasi and Ningguo were adjacent to each other, with Dasi located northeast of Ningguo. Several treacherous mountain ranges and the celestial chasm of Wulingjiang River lay between the two countries. They had always maintained a peaceful relationship.

Those bandits scaled mountains and crossed ridges, heading north all the way. It's unclear what their reason was.

The tributary streams of Wu Lingjiang, branching off from where the Three Witches City is located, are all mighty and powerful. These streams flow through several countries as part of the Wu Ling River system. Because of this, the Three Witches City stands out as something truly unique.

Besides, there is also a king's mansion in Sanwu City. One of the Eight Kings of the Sui Dynasty, King Zhen Shui, resided in the city.

>

With the mighty army of King Zhenshui, the city was peaceful and merchants from all over the country were willing to come here to trade.

The first ferry crossing was the largest in front of Sanwu City. If Qin Sang wanted to go home, it would be easiest to find merchants from his hometown there.

With Zhou Ning chattering in her ear, Qin Sang's eyes were fixed on Bai Jiang Lan and his companions. Gradually, she began to see the pattern. Such strict discipline, Qin Sang had only seen in soldiers. Besides, last night, Chun Tao had unwittingly mentioned that they were sent by the King to guard the young lady. Could these people be the guards of a certain king

Qin Sang glanced at the flower hall. Zhou Ning had just said that there were thirteen prefectures in Great Sui, with eight princes, whose status was honorable and second only to the emperor of Great Sui. He wondered what identity the young lady was, worthy of being escorted by a prince's troops.

"Zhou Ning!"

Zhou Ning suddenly stiffened, his aura turning sharp and intense, "Here!"

"Form ranks!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Ning returned to the team after his run, Bai Jianglan walked over, Qin Sang struggled to stand up and greet him, "Bai ge..."

Bai Jianglan waved his hand, telling Qin Sang not to be so polite. "Did you sleep well last night My brothers' rough skills made Brother Qin laugh."

"Several of you are heroes and valiant warriors, Qin Sang envies you greatly! Big Brother Bai, if Qin Sang started learning martial arts now, could he become as skilled as you"

Qin Sang earnestly said, he indeed envied and wanted to learn.

Bai Jianglan chuckled and said, "What am I Those innate masters in the martial world can truly project their true qi and cultivate sword energy with their internal strength. There's even a legend of an innate master who killed a celestial master. Now that's what I call truly powerful."

"Can immortals be killed by martial artists" Qin Sang was astonished and couldn't wait to ask, "Bai Gege, have you ever seen an immortal"

Bai Jianglan shook his head, seeing through Qin Sang's intentions and advising, "Celestial Masters and divine dragons are rarely seen. How many have truly encountered them Countless people seek immortality in the world, but in the end, they waste their lives in deep mountains and rivers, achieving nothing. Don't be obsessed, or you will squander your prime years."ands with unstoppable force.Qin Sang hurriedly coalesced those wisps of Yin souls into a ball, exerting all his strength to drive the black fire forward, resisting the onslaught of the black flames.Th...
