Under the scorching sun, a procession of horse-drawn carriages moved forward slowly on the spacious road.

"Axian."

Scarlett opened the door curtain and got into Ye Xian's car. Seeing Ye Xian holding a book "The Basics of Martial Arts" and reading it with gusto, she pouted and quickly took the book out of Ye Xian's hand.

"What's wrong? Did you quarrel with Morris again?" Ye Xian regretfully looked away from the book and smiled helplessly.

Maurice is Luna's nephew and attended Winchester College with Scarlett.

The two had a good relationship, but because of their similar personalities, they would quarrel from time to time, and each would win or lose.

But this time Scarlett came to Ye Xian to complain, obviously she was at a disadvantage in the quarrel.

"You don't know how hateful that guy Maurice is. Didn't he just encounter a level five monster by chance when he went to the Hazy Moon Forest? He didn't kill it. He talks about it every day and shows it off, which makes me mad!

It’s just a level 5 monster, so what’s so great about it, hmph, I’ll be able to kill a level 5 monster in the future too!”

Ye Xian echoed: "Yes, yes, you can definitely do it."

"Axian, you're so perfunctory, I'm not your best friend anymore!"

Scarlett looked at Ye Xian with tears in her eyes, her red lips pouting even higher.

Ye Xian's scalp was numb, and he racked his brains to cheer him up. His eyes, which were a little sore from reading for too long, gradually returned to normal.

Seeing that Ye Xian's eyes were no longer so red, Scarlett handed the book to her and said seriously: "Axian, study also requires a balance between work and rest. Don't work so hard."

"I know, I just think this book is quite interesting, and I won't read it again."

Ye Xian did what he said. He took the book and put it aside without looking through it.

Scarlett blinked in surprise when she heard this.

"Detailed Explanation of the Basics of Martial Arts" is quite famous in Lingwu Continent. It is almost regarded as an introductory book for martial artists. Everyone has a copy of it, but A Xian has never read it.

She then thought about it, maybe A Xian's family had better martial arts explanation books, so this book was not included. This situation was normal.

So, she decisively put this idea behind her and took Ye Xian to talk for a while.

When the motorcade stopped to rest, she left Ye Xian's carriage and ran to chat with her father, Andrew.

Yes, because Andrew was worried about their safety, he took the guards at home to escort them on the road. Only after seeing them enter Winchester College with his own eyes, Andrew would leave with confidence.

Both Andrew and Scarlett thought that the Selwyn family would give up the idea of ​​taking action against them after seeing Andrew accompanying them, but the accident still happened.

That was on the seventh day of their departure, less than three days away from the royal city.

Andrew was sitting on the shaft of the car introducing Ye Xian to the car behind him, "We will reach Jinricheng through the forest in front. Jinricheng has a kind of fruit wine, which is brewed with a special secret recipe. It tastes good. We can buy more of it then.

Some, leave them on the road to drink."

Ye Xian was about to reply when he suddenly raised his eyebrows, jumped out of the carriage and shouted: "Stop the car!"

There was a trace of fighting spirit in her voice, and the wildebeest pulling the cart was so frightened that its limbs trembled and it did not dare to move again.

"Why did the carriage stop suddenly? What happened?"

Scarlett and Maurice both got out of their carriages and inquired forward without knowing why.

Andrew was originally sitting on the shaft of the carriage. After hearing Ye Xian's words, he also jumped off the carriage and strode to Ye Xian's side with a solemn expression, "What did you find?"

After getting along with each other for this period of time, even if Andrew didn't know Ye Xian very well, he also knew that she was someone who would not make jokes easily.

Now that the carriage was suddenly stopped, there must have been some unexpected discovery.

"Someone is ambushing us in front." Ye Xian paused and then added, "There are more than 20 people from the Selwyn family."

"It's really them! Damn those bastards!"

Andrew clenched his fists and cursed through gritted teeth, but he did not doubt what Ye Xian said.

He raised his right arm and made a gesture. The guards following him immediately took out their weapons, surrounded Scarlett and Maurice, protected them in the middle, and looked around with bright eyes.

Scarlett and Maurice realized that something had happened ahead, and they took out their weapons with determination on their faces.

Under the hot sunlight, a thin layer of sweat appeared on everyone's cheeks, and an anxious atmosphere spread among the team. Even the frightened wildebeests swung their hooves restlessly.

Ye Xian could feel doubtful eyes coming from behind, but the Howard family had strict family rules, and no one dared to question Andrew's decision.

Ye Xian did not explain. Could it be that she told the guards that she used her mental power to see people from the Selvin family ambushing in the forest ahead? Wouldn't that expose her identity as a spiritual master?

And she believed that the Selwyn family would soon lose their composure and start taking action. After all, the other party also had a trump card, and that trump card didn't seem to have a very good temper.

Sure enough, just as Ye Xian expected, Eddie, who was hiding in the forest, finally lost his patience and jumped down from the tree.

As he walked out of the forest, he complained impatiently: "Chief Frank, I have long said that we can deal with them without an ambush, but you just don't believe me. My time is very precious!"

Frank could only quickly follow up with his tribe and explain: "Sir Eddie, of course I believe in your ability. I just think this can reduce some unnecessary trouble."

"It's unnecessary." Eddie raised his chin arrogantly, "I will be responsible for holding back the sixth-level martial artist in a while, and you are responsible for dealing with the rest. After they are dealt with, you can come and help me."

"Okay, we will do as you ask."

Frank scolded Eddie to death in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile apologetically on his face.

Eddie is the only fourth-level spiritual master he has access to. He will never offend the other party unless absolutely necessary.

What's more, he now has to rely on Eddie to deal with the Howard family and Ye Xian, and he doesn't dare to go against the other party's wishes.

Therefore, he could only work with Eddie to completely expose his figure in front of the motorcade.

"Frank! It's really you, what do you want to do!"

When Andrew saw Frank, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his face was filled with hatred.

"Andrew, now that we've reached this point, can't you still guess what I want to do?"

Frank's cold eyes stared directly at Ye Xian, "You never expected that we would meet so soon."

"To be honest, it's really... not surprising at all."

Ye Xian smiled slightly.

"Your despicableness is exactly as I imagined."
