Chapter 805: Meeting Yu Yan

Boom!
Boom!!
Amidst the thundering sound of hooves, the crowd gradually dispersed into smaller groups, heading in different directions.
Listening to the increasingly monotonous sound of the hooves, Kai Xin quietly observed the situation of his own group!
Including himself, there were five people in total.
The leader was that cheerful and warm-hearted young man, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He didn’t belong to any gang, his equipment wasn’t fancy, but he had two Grade 1, Stage 4 items, and his mount was Ti Ying—considered quite good among the nobility.
In his past life, a solo player who could reach such a level was already considered quite successful and a representative of strength.
The other three were two women and one man.
The man was around thirty, with a robust build, wearing a pair of gleaming serrated swords at his waist—clearly a brave man. But what annoyed Kai Xin was that his gaze kept shifting between the two women in the group.
The two women weren’t old, around twenty years old. One wore a modest goose-yellow dress, exuding a serene demeanor; the other was dressed like a flame, with a hot figure and bold eyes!
“Hey, leader, what’s the newcomer’s name?”
Seizing that the newly joined young man wasn’t paying attention to her, the fiery-red-clothed girl was somewhat surprised. After glancing at him a few times, she asked the leader beside her, “Why isn’t he saying anything?”
“Many solo players don’t like to talk…” Following the red-clothed girl’s gaze, the leader glanced briefly before looking away and replied nonchalantly, “I actually forgot to ask his name just now… Hey, buddy, what’s your name?”
Actually, forming a group was just an oral agreement—there were no documents or formal invitations, no formalities at all, so there was no risk of their identities being exposed. Otherwise, Kai Xin would have refused their offer long ago.
“Call me Chen Kai.”
“Heh, Chen Kai. I’m Xu Jun. Let me introduce your teammates. This beautiful girl in red is Xiang Jiao—not the ‘banana’ ‘jiao,’ but the ‘chili’ ‘jiao’…”
“…”
Kai Xin nodded at the red-clothed girl as a greeting. Following Xu Jun’s gesture, his gaze fell on the burly man next to her. The man said, “Xue Chi, a top expert from the 87th faction of evil demons.”
“Hmph.”
Xue Chi clearly looked down on Kai Xin’s plain attire, giving him a disdainful glance before his gaze shifted back to the elegant-looking beauty.

“Ignore this guy,” Xu Jun clearly didn’t like Blood Pool either. But since the other party was the strongest in the team, he had no choice but to tolerate them as long as they didn’t go too far.
“By the way, let me introduce you to the beautiful expert of the largest gang in the Central Plains… Xiao Yuyan, the stunning beauty from the Mu family. Somehow, she’s here alone on a mission—hehe, I happened to find her.”
Found her?
Kai Xin’s lips curled into a smile.
Xiao Yuyan seemed a bit excited. She spurred her horse forward, leading the way, her colorful robes fluttering in the wind like those of a fairy among the clouds.
Xu Jun noticed something in Kai Xin’s eyes and smiled knowingly before lowering his voice to warn, “Bro, don’t blame me for not telling you earlier. This girl is really pretty—graceful and beautiful, plus very pure. But her status in the Mu family must be high.”
“…”
Kai Xin was stunned.
Thinking he didn’t believe him, the other person pointed out, “The name Xiao Yuyan doesn’t appear on any lists, nor has anyone heard of such a formidable person in the Mu family. But look… four sets of equipment, none of which I recognize… That glow… tsk, it definitely isn’t something an ordinary first-class artifact could have…” He gave Kai Xin a serious look as if to say, “You know what I mean,” then fell silent.
Kai Xin was left at a loss.
He naturally understood the implicit meaning in the other person’s words, but the other party could never guess that the one who gave her these items was right in front of him.
So, whether this was a kind reminder or something else, it left Kai Xin feeling extremely helpless and amused.
It hadn’t been long since he gave this set of equipment to Xiao Yuyan. After Daozi and the others got theirs, he specially prepared one set for her as well. He remembered Xu Xin complaining at the time that wearing such eye-catching gear would draw attention, and Kai Xin hadn’t insisted. He never expected that Xiao Yuyan would wear it now as she ventured alone deep into enemy territory on this dangerous mission.
Kai Xin was both shocked and delighted. Shocked that she had gone to such a dangerous place alone without saying a word; delighted that the gear he gave her hadn’t stayed in the warehouse forever.
But now, Kai Xin was very curious. After more than a year, to what extent had Xiao Yuyan’s skills improved while training out of his sight… What exactly drove her to go alone to the enemy’s rear to carry out this most dangerous mission?

Since Xu Xin decided to leave Mu Family’s team and go on her own to carry out the mission, Happy knew she must have her own plans. So she didn’t reveal her identity outright but continued to stay hidden under the guise of “Chen Kai,” following the group as they moved deeper into the area.

However!

After riding for over half an hour, not a single cavalryman was in sight anywhere—only grasslands stretched as far as the eye could see.

“It’s almost there. Moving any further will likely bring us to the enemy’s outposts. If we keep going, we’ll be spotted by their scouts and patrols…” Xu Jun firmly advised everyone to dismount.

The group stowed their horses and carefully moved along the ridge. From this elevated position, they could observe the surroundings and hide in advance.

“This Xu Jun is quite capable,” Happy thought, adding him to her list of observation targets.

An hour passed.

“Hide now!”

At Xu Jun’s warning, everyone crouched behind the ridge.

Five small black dots appeared rapidly on the distant horizon, growing clearer by the moment. After traveling for so long, the five of them finally spotted the Mongol cavalry…

“Exactly five!” Xu Jun smiled before saying seriously, “Alright, it’s time to discuss our team’s rules. For now, the points are shared equally. Each of you picks an opponent. Wait until they get close before acting. This is how it is with smaller groups. If we encounter a larger enemy force, everyone fights based on their own skills to earn points. What do you think?”

“Not bad.” “I agree.”

“Okay.”

Xu Jun’s proposal was approved unanimously.

Soon, the five of them became completely still, hiding behind the ridge, holding their breath. They determined the cavalry’s route and quietly slipped forward, waiting for the patrol to come closer.

The five were ready, poised to launch a surprise attack.
