Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter from his mother.

In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Chen Tong and the other girl stared blankly at the scene, completely stunned. Su Hang had actually killed someone.
No matter how skilled one is, they still fear a kitchen knife, let alone a gun. Even a martial arts master would not dare to face it with their bare body.
Picking up the musket, Su Hang gently wiped the hot barrel and was very satisfied with the gun's power. It was indeed a family heirloom, more powerful than ordinary muskets, with a larger powder charge. The recoil from the last shot had even pushed him back.
"Brother, did you kill someone?"
Su Xi covered her eyes, not daring to turn around, but she wasn't stupid and could already guess what had happened behind her.
"Don't turn around, don't look."
Su Hang said in a deep voice, not wanting his little sister to see the blood.
"Senior Sister, look, it's a piggy!"
At this moment, Huang Qimeng pointed to the water jar nearby and shouted. The jar had fallen to the ground, and from her angle, she could clearly see a golden little pig thrashing around inside.
Chen Tong's eyes also lit up when she saw this.
Su Hang extended his hand, and the water jar immediately rose into the air, spinning and shrinking until it returned to his hand.
"Give me the piggy back."
Huang Qimeng was alarmed. Su Hang's skills had completely stunned her. She was a disciple of the Emei Sect, a major sect, and had seen many strange things, but she had never seen anything like this. The large jar had shrunk in an instant, and the pig was trapped inside, as if by a god's hand.
"What piggy? It's called Sima Gang!" Su Hang shrugged, put away the jar, which had shrunk to the size of a teacup, and walked towards Leng Feng's body.
The ground was covered in blood, and the body was no longer recognizable, flattened by the weight of Sima Gang. It was a gruesome sight.
Su Hang had intended to search the body for any unexpected gains, but seeing the blood-soaked mess, he doubted that anything valuable would have survived the gunshot or the blood.
A pair of lifeless eyes gazed at the sky. Just moments ago, this person had been alive, but now there was no sign of life. Life is powerful, yet also incredibly fragile.
Su Hang did not touch the body. In this deep forest, it would be devoured by wild animals within a day. Dying here was no different from a wild chicken.
"This person's talisman martial arts are quite remarkable," Su Hang sighed. Without Sima Gang, defeating this Ninth Rank Martial Scholar would have been a tough fight.
"Back in the day, the Wu Fu Sect was one of the six major sects in Shu. Their talisman martial arts are indeed extraordinary," a voice came from the side. Su Hang turned to see Chen Tong and the other girl approaching.
Staring at Chen Tong, Su Hang didn't say much. These two girls from the Emei Sect were not simple.
"Senior Sister, he caught the little piggy!" Huang Qimeng whispered in Chen Tong's ear.
Chen Tong nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Su Hang's face. "May I ask for your name, sir?"
"Su Hang!"
After a moment's thought, Chen Tong said, "If I'm not mistaken, the golden beast was caught by you, right? Please return it. The golden beast belongs to the Emei Sect, and this is no joke."
Su Hang laughed. "Ladies, I did catch a little pig, but why should it be yours just because you say so? Can it even respond to your call?"
"You..." Before Chen Tong could speak, Huang Qimeng was already furious. "The golden beast is our Emei's property. Not returning it is just being unreasonable."
"That little thing stole the game I hunted. I caught it to make up for my loss. How can that be unreasonable?" Su Hang replied.
Huang Qimeng was even more angry. "It's just a few game animals. I'll hunt more for you. Just return the golden beast."
Su Hang laughed. "Seeing your expressions, it seems this little pig is quite valuable. The more you say, the less I want to give it to you."
"You, you, you..." Huang Qimeng was so angry that she was trembling.
"Stop your 'you, you, you.' Now that I've caught it, it's mine. If you want it, you can fight me like that person did. If you win, I'll give it to you." Su Hang said calmly, walking towards his little sister.
"You, you brute, big scoundrel." Huang Qimeng shouted, feeling a strong urge to fight Su Hang, but looking at the flattened body on the ground, she decided to hold back. The water jar had crushed it, and she and her companion together might not have been able to withstand it.
"I'm preparing to take it home and cook it into a soup. If you don't fight me, you'll miss your chance." Su Hang turned to look at Huang Qimeng as he walked to his little sister.
Huang Qimeng was both angry and amused. "You actually want to stew the golden beast. Do you even know what it is?"
"Hmm?" Su Hang paused. "Forgive my ignorance, but I really don't know what that pig is."
Huang Qimeng was about to speak, but Chen Tong raised her hand to stop her, stepping forward with a much gentler tone. "Mr. Su, do you know what a golden beast is?"
Su Hang shook his head. If he knew, he wouldn't be a novice.
"This little pig was raised by our Emei Sect's previous grandmaster. It was fed with spiritual treasures and medicinal broth for sixty years to purify its mortal body and transform it into a golden lineage. The Emei Sect has invested a great deal in it. A month ago, a disciple was careless, and it escaped. My master ordered me and my junior sister to search for it. If the golden pig falls into the wrong hands, it will cause great harm." Chen Tong explained.
