Chapter 91

The large man, Bazhuer, glanced at the man, "That's right, so what do you suggest we do?"

The man suggested, "Suppress the news and find a way to get rid of that native."

Bazhuer threw away the towel, looked at the man, and approached him step by step, "Well said, what else?"

"Wendy the senator doesn't care about the life or death of a native. We not only need to kill that native but also make it look like an accident, an accident that will tarnish the native's name for eternity, making Wendy despise her hometown," the man continued.

Bazhuer walked up to the man, raised his hand, and placed it on the man's shoulder, "You're right, but have you thought about what can escape Wendy's eyes? If she thinks Lord Buyou made us do this, where will Lord Buyou's face be?"

The man's face turned pale, and he hurried to clarify, but it was too late. Bazhuer's palm exerted force, and with a loud thud, the man who had been standing there a moment ago turned into a pool of blood, staining the ground and filling the space with a bloody smell.

Everyone became even more terrified, bowing their heads and not daring to move.

At this moment, footsteps were heard, and a young man slowly approached. He was thin and pale, "Big Brother Bazhuer, no need to be angry. That native is a Boundary Explorer, and so am I. Let me help you with your worries. A death match is normal, and no one will blame me."

Bazhuer wiped his hands, "Then I'll leave it to you, Ghostfire."

A few days later, Lu Yin was viewing the star map at the Zishan Manor when Blonsen transmitted a message, "Your Highness, the captain of the 6th team of the Imperial Court's 13th Squad, Taohxiang, has come to pay a visit."

Lu Yin looked up, surprised. Taohxiang? Why would she come? He didn't seem to have any connection with this little girl. No, the first time he went to the imperial palace, this little girl glared at him. Could she be here for revenge?

There was no time to think much. As soon as Lu Yin reached the front hall, he saw a little girl with a super beautiful woman. The beautiful woman turned out to be Bai Xue.

"Hey, Lu Yin, you're here," Taohxiang exclaimed in surprise, appearing in front of Lu Yin in an instant and looking at him with big, twinkling eyes.

Lu Yin stepped forward, "Captain Taohxiang, hello."

Taohxiang quickly retreated, "Don't get close."

Lu Yin was puzzled and looked at himself, "What's wrong?"

Bai Xue explained, "The captain doesn't like standing next to people taller than her."

Lu Yin was taken aback and looked at Taohxiang. The little girl was only 1.2 meters tall, making it quite difficult to find someone shorter. No wonder Bai Xue was several meters away from her.

"The Zishan Manor is so big and tall, I like it," Taohxiang said, looking around.

Lu Yin smiled, "If you like it, you can stay here."

"Really?" Taohxiang was delighted. She loved high places and enjoyed the feeling of looking down.

Lu Yin nodded, "Really. By the way, Captain Taohxiang, is there something you need?"

Taohxiang hummed and faced Lu Yin, saying solemnly, "I want to apologize to you."

"Apologize? Why?" Lu Yin was confused.

Taohxiang scratched her head, "I shouldn't have scared you at the imperial palace. I'm sorry." She then bowed deeply in apology.

Lu Yin was startled and quickly stepped back. This was the captain of the 6th team of the Imperial Court's 13th Squad, a powerful cruiser-level expert who could rank in the top twenty in the entire Daxu Empire and didn't need to bow even to the Immortal Yushan. He couldn't bear such a bow, but there was no way to avoid it. Suddenly, several Taohxiangs appeared around him, all bowing together.

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Were these clones? No, it was speed, extreme speed.

After apologizing, Taohxiang smiled at Lu Yin and was about to leave.

When Blonsen introduced Taohxiang to Lu Yin, he mentioned that she admitted her mistakes and had no ulterior motives. Lu Yin didn't believe it at the time, but it turned out to be true. The little girl had no captain's airs, which was surprising given her position.

Seeing Taohxiang about to leave, Lu Yin quickly said, "Captain Taohxiang, since you're here, why not have a cup of tea before you go?"

Taohxiang shook her head, "No, I have something to do."

Bai Xue nodded at Lu Yin and followed Taohxiang.

Lu Yin took out a pack of snacks from his spatial ring and shook it, making a rustling sound.

Taohxiang stopped, turned to look at the snacks in Lu Yin's hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "This, this is the third-generation collector's edition of the Kaka Domain's Fat Snacks, the Ice Dragon Shrimp Chips, of which only 50,000 packs were produced."

Lu Yin was surprised. He didn't expect the snacks to be so prestigious. He had stolen them with dice, and he just wanted to see if they could attract Taohxiang. He didn't expect such a good effect.

"If you like them, that's great," Lu Yin smiled and handed the snacks to Taohxiang.

Taohxiang instantly appeared in front of Lu Yin, looking at him with bright eyes, "You, you're such a good person. You really want to give them to me? They're really delicious."

Lu Yin smiled, "Of course, but I only have one pack, which might not be enough."

"That's enough, more than enough. I couldn't even get one pack back then. Thank you, Lu Yin, you're such a good person," Taohxiang said, clearly incoherent, as if she had learned an ultimate battle technique.

Lu Yin was speechless. How did someone like this become a captain? She must be quite young!

Bai Xue, standing nearby, looked at Lu Yin in surprise. Although Taohxiang had no ulterior motives, not just anyone could get close to her. The more straightforward a person is, the more accurate their judgment and the more principled they are. In the days she had followed Taohxiang, she had never seen her be so enthusiastic about anyone.

"Lu Yin, from now on, we are friends," Taohxiang said, blinking her big, watery eyes and standing very close to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin didn't know how to respond and could only say, "I'll give you snacks whenever I have some."

Taohxiang's eyes sparkled, "Thank you, but I can't take things for free. Is there anything you need me to help with? Just so you know, I can't beat Wendy, so don't ask me to kidnap anyone."

Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. How well did she know him? She knew he had kidnapped someone before and was so well-informed. Indeed, no one who became a captain was a fool. This little girl had clearly investigated him. It would be a disaster to treat her like a little girl.

"No, it's fine. As a guest, I should treat you well. And you said we are friends, so no need to be formal," Lu Yin smiled.

"That won't do. I don't like owing people," Taohxiang hugged the snacks tightly, bit her finger, and thought for a moment. Her eyes lit up, "Oh, do you want to learn any battle techniques? I can teach you."

Lu Yin was about to refuse but then had a thought, "Was that a stepping technique you used just now? It was so fast."

Taohxiang was proud, "Of course, that's our 13th Squad's stepping technique—Kongshan."

"A battle technique of the 13th Squad?" Lu Yin was puzzled.

Taohxiang explained, "The 13th Squad, Yutang, and the royal family all have their own battle techniques, which the emperor obtained from the Inner Universe. Kongshan is our 13th Squad's unique stepping technique, capable of maximizing speed, delaying space, and deceiving space. Do you want to learn it? I can teach you."

"Isn't that a battle technique of the 13th Squad? Can I learn it?" Lu Yin was surprised.

Taohxiang nodded, "Because you are also a member of the 13th Squad."

"Me? The 13th Squad?" Lu Yin pointed at himself. When did he join the 13th Squad? Wasn't he part of Yutang?

Taohxiang smiled, "The Yushan royal family and the Zishan clan are considered members of Yutang and the 13th Squad. Your unit should be the 1st Squad, though I'm not sure. But you can definitely learn Kongshan. How about it? Do you want to learn?"

"I would be honored, as long as it doesn't violate any principles and doesn't put you in a difficult position," Lu Yin said.

Taohxiang laughed, "It won't be difficult. Come, I'll teach you." She grabbed Lu Yin's right arm, and the two disappeared, reappearing several meters away. "Feel the essence of Kongshan."

Blonsen left the moment Lu Yin started learning Kongshan. He knew Kongshan, but everyone had a different interpretation of it, so he couldn't watch.

Bai Xue looked at Lu Yin enviously; she hadn't learned Kongshan yet.

Taohxiang was extremely fast, and Kongshan, like the You Shen Step, required great strength in the legs. However, Lu Yin had a foundation in the You Shen Step and had experienced the techniques of the Baiye Clan's rapid battle techniques, so learning Kongshan wasn't too difficult.

Even so, it took him two hours to勉强施展.

"You are truly a genius. It usually takes at least two months for an average person to learn Kongshan. Those qualified to learn it are the elite of the 13th Squad and the entire Daxu Empire. You've far surpassed them," Taohxiang praised.

Lu Yin exhaled, a smile of excitement on his face. He had the Tianxing Palm, Baiye Fist, and Tianbeast Claw for offense, and the Tianxing Technique for defense. What he lacked was extreme speed, which Kongshan filled. "Taohxiang, thank you."
