Chapter 587: A Serendipitous Discovery!

The full moon hung high, its gentle light casting a soft glow over the vast hillside and upon the two young man and woman.
“Thank you, Young Hero Kai Xin, for saving me. I will always remember your kindness.”
As she spoke, Shi Feixuan seemed unharmed and stood up.
Kai Xin was momentarily stunned before seemingly realizing what had happened. He said with emotion, “Brother Hou seems to have come all this way for nothing.” Then he suddenly remembered Zhang Wuji’s mother, Yin Susu’s famous saying: The prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie and deceive others. He never expected Shi Feixuan to be an exception!
Shi Feixuan seemed not to hear Kai Xin’s words. With her back to him, she gazed up at the night sky and said calmly, “When Feixuan met the Yin Queen, Young Hero Kai Xin seemed to be at Yinji Lake as well.”
“That’s right.”
Kai Xin immediately understood. At that time, Shi Feixuan had indeed noticed him, so he took the opportunity to explain that he had come to Yinji Lake in search of the “Seven-Star Orchid Grass” to cure the toxins in the disciples of Wudang and the Ming Sect. “Later, I heard that the Extreme Yin Old Man seemed intent on harming Miss Shi, so I followed them.”
“I see.”
Appreciation appeared in Shi Feixuan’s eyes. “You truly possess a kind heart. For the sake of justice in the martial world, you traveled thousands of miles into danger to find an antidote. And for Feixuan’s sake, you confronted the Extreme Yin Old Man and drove him away along with Wanwan. No wonder all the major sects praise you so highly. You are indeed a role model for us younger generations.”
“Miss Shi, you flatter me,” Kai Xin said humbly. “How can I compare to you? You alone dared to speak boldly in front of the Yin Queen without fear, while I could only watch from afar. I’m far inferior—please forgive me.”
“Always ‘Miss Shi’ here and there. It feels too formal. We’re both people from the martial world—just call me Feixuan.” Shi Feixuan clearly felt a growing fondness for Kai Xin.
“Alright, then Miss Feixuan, call me by my name instead of ‘Young Hero.’ It sounds awkward.”
“Kai Xin is truly genuine.”
Shi Feixuan smiled faintly. Though she said nothing, Kai Xin felt as if he were bathed in spring breeze.
“Please forgive me for that.”
“That’s great of you. Feixuan often envies you and wishes she could roam the martial world carefree, just like you. But alas, our sects are different.” At these words, her distant gaze sharpened again. She took something out of her sleeve and said to Kai Xin, who didn’t know how to respond, “Kai Xin, look. Is this the Seven-Star Orchid Grass that Doctor Wang mentioned?”
A green three-leaf plant appeared in Shi Feixuan’s hand, its leaves covered with star-like veins, looking fresh and beautiful under the moonlight.

“Yes, this is the Seven-Star Orchid Grass…” She glanced at Shi Feixuan with joy and surprise. “Feixuan, how did you get this?”
“I heard about Wudang and the Ming Sect on the way here. I happened to see it near Yinji Lake, so I picked some. It should be enough for Hero Song and the others.”
As she spoke, she handed the Seven-Star Orchid Grass to Kai Xin.
Kai Xin never expected to obtain it in such a way. He felt fortunate; if his cultivation level had been lower, for safety reasons, he probably wouldn’t have shown up. Otherwise, he might not have completed the mission and could even have given Shi Feixuan a bad impression! Now, by chance, he not only saved Shi Feixuan but also got the Seven-Star Orchid Grass needed for the mission ahead of time…
However!
Since Shi Feixuan was safe and they had the Seven-Star Orchid Grass, it seemed unnecessary to stay any longer.
“Let’s go.”
Kai Xin wasn’t expecting Shi Feixuan to say that so soon.
“But Brother Hou…”
“After all, Young Master Hou is a descendant of the Flower Sect and belongs to the evil sects. Good and evil cannot coexist. Since everything is fine now, let’s go.” With that, her sword flashed, leaving four characters on the ground in a swift motion. She sheathed her sword and left without a trace of fuss.
Kai Xin gave Shi Feixuan’s back a deep look, sighed helplessly, and then turned to leave as well, leaving four cold characters that stood out sharply under the moonlight:
“Unharmed. Don’t worry.”
The bleak cold wind blew across the desolate hillside, carrying away a faint sigh.
…
When they returned to Fengyang County, Shi Feixuan’s appearance caused quite a stir, especially since Kai Xin appeared with her, which sent ripples throughout the martial world.
If Shi Feixuan weren’t an NPC, rumors about their relationship might have already spread in the martial world.
However!
Kai Xin managing to get close to the incredibly popular Shi Feixuan in such a short time really surprised many people. After all, the turmoil caused by Zhou Zhiruo hadn’t fully subsided, yet Kai Xin immediately caused such a big fuss—how could it not shock people?
Many people envied and resented him, cursing that he was blessed with good fortune, getting involved in every good thing…
But only Kai Xin knew that for a mission like this, aside from him, few others in the martial world could complete it easily.
Following thethe Beggar’s Gang’s secret signals, the two rushed to thethe Beggar’s Gang’s newly relocated underground branch in Fengyang, where they met Doctor Wang and Chen Youliang.
“It’s indeed the Seven-Star Orchid Grass!”

Doctor Wang, filled with excitement, fetched the medicinal herbs and quickly prepared an antidote, giving it to Song Yuanqiao and the others.
“Heroes like Song will need some time to rest before they can recover. Please wait outside with me for now,” Chen Youliang said respectfully, guiding Kai Xin and Shi Feixuan away.
When they reached the outer courtyard, Chen Youliang bowed deeply. “Thanks to finding the ‘Seven-Star Orchid Grass’ in time, heroes like Song should be saved. You two have played a crucial role in this, and I’ve fulfilled the leader’s trust.”
After a pause, he showed a hint of concern. “However, while you were away, many of our Beggars’ Sect members were captured by the evil forces, and our secret branches could be exposed at any moment. But since heroes like Song shouldn’t be moved, I was thinking…”
“Don’t worry. Since we’re here, we’ll naturally protect both heroes and our sect’s branches,” Shi Feixuan said. As a disciple of Ci Hang Jing Zhai, she was bold and skilled. She agreed without hesitation before turning to Kai Xin. “What do you think?”
“It’s my duty.”
This was already part of Kai Xin’s mission, so there was no reason to refuse.
Chen Youliang was overjoyed. “Great! With you two here, everything will be fine. I can rest easy now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Feixuan and Kai Xin frowned and glanced toward the back courtyard gate.
“What audacity!”
A strange voice came from outside the courtyard!
Immediately afterward…
Boom!!!
The courtyard gate shattered into countless pieces. The wooden planks broke apart into sharp projectiles that flew at the three people in the courtyard.
Kai Xin stepped forward, swiped with one hand, and a powerful gust of wind, accompanied by a deep dragon roar, sent the wooden fragments flying back. It collided head-on with the person who had rushed into the courtyard like lightning…
Boom!!!!
