Lan You Nian took Zhang Lin and the others to Sunset City.This town, because of its distance from the bustling capital, still looked the same, a hazy ancient feel.Wu Qing Pavilion was in fact established in Sunset City.Wu Qing was established here to guard Medical Valley, to protect the family she recognized.

Deep within the forest, ancient trees towered, covering up the sky.Because the forest looked frightening and mysterious, so according to the local people, few people dared to enter this forest.Even if they dared to enter, no one ever came out.This piece of land was isolated from the outside world.There was a double barrier of the forest and the swamp.The dark forest was eerie and terrifying; outsiders hardly ever dared to set foot into it.Occasionally a daring person barged in.They would only be blocked again by a swamp.People’s instinctual survival wouldn’t allow them to enter the swamp so they completely lost the opportunity to set foot into this pure land.

Lan You Nian led everyone into the dark forest.She could sense everyone’s tension.Lan You Nian didn’t say anything to comfort them, only continued to walk in front of them without uttering a word.Behind her, everyone stared at Lan You Nian’s every step, afraid with one misstep, they will drown in this forest and become a skeleton.

When they reached the depths of the forest, they noticed a man standing there.He couldn’t be considered good-looking but his body was sturdy, a somber temperament, and slightly dark skin.He only needed to stand there to seem like a unique part of the landscape within this overflowing world.

When that man saw Lan You Nian, his grim face glowed with warmth and smiles.

Lan You Nian walked over to the man and smiled sweetly, “Second brother!”

Gui Er’s body carried a killing aura that was honed from training.However around Lan You Nian, he always became that simple-minded and foolish second brother.With just a smile, Gui Er’s somber mien became much more intimate, “Little junior sister!” His voice contained a love towards a younger sister.

“Second brother why are you waiting here?” Lna You Nian glanced at Gui Er’s thin brocade robes.It was always colder in this ancient forest.Although Gui Er’s body was healthy, as a little sister, Lan You Nian couldn’t help chiding him.

Gui Er snickered, revealing a mouth of white teeth, not caring about the little amount of clothes on his body, “I received a letter saying little junior sister will be coming so I came here to wait for you!”

Lan You Nian smiled, pointing at the several people standing at a distance behind her, “Them!”

“All here to train?” Gui Er asked, unsure.He saw Lan Wu and Lan Qu amongst them.These two were little junior sister’s servant girls. Little junior sister usually treated them very well.If they were injured or lost their live, he didn’t know how upset little junior sister would be?

Lan You Nian scanned Lan Qu and Lan Wu standing amongst a crowd of men.The two of them changed out of their favorite blue dresses and put on black men’s clothing.They seemed to possess a heroic aura, with no timidity in their eyes, only a deep desire to become stronger.

“En, there’s no need to be merciful.Treat everyone equally!” Lan You Nian walked over to the guards.

“In the next few days, you will be training.From the moment you enter this forest, the training will begin!” Lan You Nian stood with her hands behind her back, her posture mafr people believe in her even more than men, “If you don’t work hard here, you will very easily lose your life.I hope many people will come out of this training!”

“Yes” firm voices echoed, alarming the flock of birds in the branches.

Lan You Nian wore tight fitting black clothes today, her long black hair was tied back, making her seem like a real man.Without another word, she entered the training ground with Gui Er.

On the first day, everyone’s training was long distance running.Their track was the rugged mountain forest so the difficulty was increased.Most importantly, throughout the mountain forest, there were many well-placed traps.If they weren’t careful, they will fall into those traps and be injured.Fifteen people, adding on Lan Wu and Lan Qu, with a total of seventeen people, only one person was injured.

Night came quietly.Lan You Nian didn’t allow them to bring along rations.The problems of what they are to eat and drink, they must solve themselves.When these people saw their young miss who should be in You Nian Pavilion admiring the moon and playing the zither personally ignite a fire, hunt, and cook food, even leading them on a run all day without a single complaint, made everyone admire Lan You Nian even more.

Of the seventeen people, Lan Qu and Lan Wu’s situation was the worst.Both were women and neither of them had high martial arts.After a whole day, their bodies were exhausted.But from beginning to end, Lan You Nian did not say anything to help them.The two made effort and didn’t allow anyone to give them food.They dragged their exhausted bodies to search for food.

Everyone settled down in the forest to rest.Halfway through the night they were suddenly attacked.Gui Er led a group of people to attack Zhang Lin and the others.Zhang Lin and the others were all flustered but they fought with their lives.Lan you Nian just stood beside Gui Er, watching as the guards fought.This went on until the end of the night before the attackers retreated.

Lan You Nian handed everyone some emergency medicine, then flew up a branch to rest.As the others stayed still in their spots, they knew the sudden attack was part of the training.It must be said that everyone became more alert through the rest of the exercise.
