Chen Tiansheng didn't specifically say what he wanted him to help with, but just asked Xu Nian to go to the county guard mansion earlier.

Xu Nian agreed.

Chen Wudi is his brother, if Chen Wudi needs his help with something.

Even if Chen Tiansheng didn't come to beg him, he would help.

However, to Xu Nian's surprise, Yan Wu actually gave up the city lord and asked to follow Xu Nian.

Xu Nian naturally has no opinion on this, with a general-level fighter like Yan Wu, he can save a lot of things.

Yan Wu chose to follow Xu Nian, and Yan Ruyu naturally chose to follow his father, saying that he was willing to be a maid by Xu Nian's side and take care of Xu Nian's daily life.

Xu Nian didn't want to agree, but under Yan Ruyu's strong plea, he finally nodded and agreed.

However, Xu Nian really didn't want Yan Ruyu to be a maid, after all, Yan Ruyu was also the daughter of the lord of a city, and where did she do any rough work as a maid.

But on the way back, Yan Ruyu was extremely careful and skillful, taking care of the injured Xu Nian meticulously.

The key is that Yan Ruyu's eyes when she looks at Xu Nian have also become extraordinarily gentle, and every time she talks to Xu Nian, she still has a shy smile on her face.

In this regard, Xu Nian could only think about Yan Ruyu being grateful to him for his kindness, after all, he really didn't have the slightest idea about Yan Ruyu in his heart.

But things are obviously not as simple as he thought, and Yan Ruyu's care for him is obviously more than ordinary gratitude.

Xu Nian could only avoid Yan Ruyu intentionally or unintentionally, and reject Yan Ruyu in this euphemistic way.

In fact, Yan Ruyu really fell in love with Xu Nian, she was already in a desperate situation, and she even had the idea of dying, but Xu Nian's appearance gave her light.

Coupled with the strength and temperament shown by Xu Nian, she has a strong sense of security.

In fact, she doesn't expect too much, she doesn't expect Xu Nian to like her, she just wants to stay by Xu Nian's side and take care of him.

Therefore, Xu Nian's deliberate alienation, she can also feel it, but she pretends not to see anything, and still takes care of Xu Nian.

Xu Nian saw that his deliberate estrangement did not cause any reaction from Yan Ruyu, and felt that he might have thought too much, so he left this matter behind.

When Xu Nian returned to Tianfeng City again, it was already the third day, and the injuries on his body were almost healed.

After settling the Yan father and daughter, he went to the battle hall to hand in the task.

......

"Yo, isn't this the genius member of our War Palace, how did you finish the mission?"

However, as soon as Xu Nian walked into the hall of the battle hall, a discordant voice sounded in Xu Nian's ears.

Xu Nian looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a chuckle suddenly appeared on his face.

The owner of this voice was none other than his old acquaintance Liu Mushan.

Except for Liu Mushan, his few are all there, and in addition, there is also a handsome young man.

The young man also had two stars embroidered on his chest, but this person's status was obviously higher than Liu Mushan, and Liu Mushan would have a hint of flattery on his face when he talked to him.

When Liu Mushan saw Xu Nian enter the battle hall, he remembered his previous agreement with Xu Nian.

Xu Nian ignored Liu Mushan, but walked in the direction of Zhao Yanyun.

Seeing that Xu Nian ignored him, Liu Mushan was even more sure that Xu Nian's mission had failed, so he said a few words to the handsome young man and walked in the direction of Xu Nian.

"Are you back?" Zhao Yanyun saw Xu Nian coming, and a smile appeared on his face.

Since the last time Chen Tiansheng showed her information about Xu Nian, her opinion of Xu Nian had completely changed.

In just a few months, from a four-star warrior to a nine-star Chen Realm spirit body dual cultivator, this is simply an incredible thing, she can't imagine what kind of speed Xu Nian will grow in the future.

"Well, I'm back!" Xu Nian said with a smile.

He has a good feeling for Zhao Yanyun, and Zhao Yanyun gives him the feeling that she is a big sister who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

"Is the injury better?" Zhao Yanyun asked with concern.

As for the results of Xu Nian's mission this time, she already knew from Chen Tiansheng.

When she knew what Xu Nian had done, she was stunned for three minutes.

Forget about exterminating the Heaven Slashing Gang, and kill Ouyang Tian, the head of the Ouyang family, with his own strength.

Hard-hitting the two-star general's palm, this is simply shocking.

If it weren't for Chen Tiansheng telling her personally, even if she was killed, she wouldn't have believed it.

"It's better, thank you sister for your concern. Xu Nian replied with a smile, feeling a trace of warmth in his heart.

Zhao Yanyun nodded, and was about to continue to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Mushan, who came from the side.

"Senior Sister Zhao, why be so polite to him, this guy failed in his mission, and sooner or later he will have to get out, but I didn't expect him to be so lucky and be able to pick up a life. Liu Mushan laughed sarcastically.

In his opinion, Xu Nian took on an impossible task, and now he can come back alive, it must be that he slipped back after failing the mission.

Zhao Yanyun frowned, and was about to refute, but was stopped by Xu Nian's eyes.

"Senior Brother Liu, I don't know if you still remember our previous agreement?" Xu Nian turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Remember, I, Liu Mushan, have never been able to speak and count, but it seems impossible for me to fulfill my promise, because soon you will get out of the war palace, and people who can't even complete the task are not qualified to stay in the war palace. Liu Mushan said disdainfully.

"If you remember, I wasn't going to settle accounts with you, but if you want to put your face over and look for it, then I can't help it. Xu Nian said with a light smile.

"What do you mean?" Liu Mushan realized that something was wrong.

And at this moment, Xu Nian already had an extra wooden box in his hand.

"This is the head of Yuan Xiong, the leader of the Heaven Slashing Gang, Senior Sister Zhao, you can identify it. Xu Nian handed the head to Zhao Yanyun.

"How is this possible, this must be fake! I'm going to open it and see. Liu Mushan said with a look of disbelief, his face full of strong unwillingness.

"There is no need to identify, this time Xu Nian's mission was completed very well, not only exterminated the Heaven Slaying Gang, but also discovered a large black iron vein, and made a first-class contribution, and was promoted to Xu Nian as a second-star member by this county guard. Zhao Yanyun said.

After saying that, she had a two-star robe in her hand.

"No...... Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Liu Mushan took three steps back in a row, and his face turned pale all of a sudden.

Xu Nian completed the task, didn't he really have to kneel in front of Xu Nian's mansion for three days and three nights?

If he really did it, then what face would he have to stay in the war palace in the future.

If he doesn't, won't he become a man of his word?

"Senior Brother Xu, it was just a joke before, I actually didn't want you to accept that task, so I said that on purpose, I was also for your good. Liu Mushan licked his face and smiled.

Xu Nian shook his head in disappointment, he had never seen such a brazen person.

Before, I wished I would take over the task and send it to death, but now when I saw that I had completed the task, I immediately changed my face, and I was simply a despicable villain.

"Liu Mushan, I haven't provoked you from the beginning, it was you who took the initiative to provoke me, and you have to keep this promise if you don't keep it today. Xu Nian snorted coldly, without the slightest sympathy in his eyes.

"Xu Nian, you deceive people too much!"

Liu Mushan's eyes instantly turned red, and a killing intent surged from his body, and a strong Gang Qi poured out from his body, directly towards Xu Nian.

"Stop!" Zhao Yanyun suddenly shouted angrily, not expecting that Liu Mushan would suddenly make a move towards Xu Nian.

Liu Mushan is a three-star body sect, although Xu Nian's strength is not weak, but Xu Nian is injured after all, how can he deal with Liu Mushan's sneak attack.

However, Liu Mushan's move was too sudden, and he was very close to Xu Nian, even Zhao Yanyun didn't have time to stop it.

Liu Mushan's fist quickly arrived in front of Xu Nian, and slammed towards Xu Nian's heart.

"Die!"

Liu Mushan's face flashed with a hideous sneer, as if he had seen Xu Nian's heart shattered.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Xu Nian's eyes, and his eyes became fierce in an instant.
