"White Moonlight?"
"Black Lotus?"
"When did these two figures appear in the martial world? Why have we never heard of them before?"
"They might not be significant figures, otherwise, they would have some reputation."
"Reputation doesn't always reflect one's true strength. These two were able to eliminate all of the North Yan spies in Xining City without causing a stir, so their martial skills must be at least eighth-grade or higher."
"That's right. The North Yan spies are at least sixth-grade martial experts. These two managed to deal with them quietly; they must possess extraordinary abilities."
"The Huoyan family is one of the three major martial families in North Yan, and they have many skilled individuals. These two must have some guts to openly challenge them. I wonder what they are relying on?"
The capture of North Yan spies in Xining City caused a discussion among the people, and the names "White Moonlight" and "Black Lotus" made their first appearance in people's conversations.
"Jie, why have you been so serious these past few days?"
Looking at Li Wu Ya, who had both arms behind her head and was gazing at the ceiling as if lost in thought, Li Qi Lang couldn't help but feel puzzled.
He thought that his sister would be delighted after the big success they had recently and the considerable amount of money they earned, but she seemed distracted.
Li Wu Ya glanced at him and said, "Don't bother me. I'm pondering about our family's future development."
The reply from the cheap disciple was not as satisfactory as she had hoped. He claimed that he was just a prince with little interaction with courtiers and had no influence over military household registrations, which were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Li Wu Ya felt a bit dissatisfied with this response.
"A prince has no connections? What about his mother's family? Changing military household registrations may be difficult for us, but for a prince, it might require a bit of effort, but not too much."
Li Wu Ya was determined to change the household registration of the Li family. However, she needed to deal with the Huoyan family first, as they were still watching Li Qi Lang closely on the battlefield.
Li Wu Ya decided to take down the Huoyan family's bases in Xining City using the money they acquired from dealing with the North Yan spies, and then use that money to change the Li family's household registration.
Knowing that going on a long journey alone was not allowed, Li Wu Ya decided to bring Li Qi Lang to Tianchi Peak for a few days under the pretext of a trip.
"Sister, with our current light work, can we reach Rongcheng in a day?"
Li Qi Lang, who was confident in his own skills, replied, "Of course, no problem."
Thanks to their cheap disciple, Li Wu Ya had surpassed Zhang Peng in light work, while Li Qi Lang had caught up to him.
Although Zhang Peng had never mentioned his exact martial grade, Li Wu Ya estimated that he was a ninth-grade martial expert, and Li Qi Lang was now at least on par with him.
"Alright, let's go then," said Li Wu Ya, deciding to take advantage of the improved light work to run to Rongcheng.
Traveling hundreds of miles to Rongcheng was not an issue for her, but she knew that both Li's mother, Jin Yue'e, and even Li Er Ya would never allow Li Qi Lang to go so far alone.
To avoid any potential objections, she did not mention her plan to go to Rongcheng and instead suggested a trip to Tianchi Peak with Li Qi Lang.
Upon their arrival in Rongcheng, Li Wu Ya and Li Qi Lang found an inn to stay for the night.
"Sister, this Rongcheng is much more exquisite than Xining City, even the bedding smells fragrant."
Li Qi Lang explored the room like a curious baby, inspecting everything thoroughly, giving away his rural roots.
"Alright, don't stare. Come and soak your feet to relax!"
Li Wu Ya filled a basin with hot water, added some medicinal herbs to relieve fatigue, and invited Li Qi Lang to soak his feet.
After soaking their feet, the siblings went to bed.
Li Qi Lang fell into a deep sleep, while Li Wu Ya used her mental power to check the inn and ensure their safety before closing her eyes.
The next morning, while having breakfast in the inn's lobby, they overheard the people at the neighboring table discussing "White Moonlight" and "Black Lotus."
Li Qi Lang, with an eager glint in his eyes, whispered, "Sister, we're famous now."
Ignoring him, Li Wu Ya pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation next to them.
"Who are White Moonlight and Black Lotus? Why are they on the Pursuit Order of Tianluomen?"
"I heard they recently visited Xining City and eliminated all the North Yan spies there, leaving a note challenging the Huoyan family."
"The Huoyan family is from North Yan. Tianluomen probably accepted the job since it's within their territory."
"Hmph, Tianluomen is the top assassination organization in the northwest. As long as the price is right, they won't care about the target."
Listening to these discussions, Li Wu Ya's eyes sparkled.
"Tianluomen... Pursuit Order... Huoyan family..."
She was not afraid; instead, she felt excited and invigorated.
This feeling was deeply engraved in her soul from her past life, where she had been fighting for survival since she could walk.
Fighting had become an integral part of her being.
Tianluomen... Pursuit Order...
Li Wu Ya's eyes shimmered with determination.
The quickest way to fame was to step on someone else's reputation, defeat them, and take their place!
