Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Although the old man's eyes were open, they were narrowed into a thin slit, as if they might close again at any moment. He hunched his body and slowly opened his mouth to say: "You're here? You even brought someone?" His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a sense of having weathered the vicissitudes of life.

An Wang standing beside him hurriedly responded respectfully: "Yes, Liu Shu. This is my daughter Qianqian." As soon as he finished speaking, Qianqian beside him obediently stepped forward, bowed slightly, and shouted loudly: "Hello, Liu Yeye!" Her clear and pleasant voice was like an oriole leaving the valley, making people feel happy.

Hearing Qianqian's greeting, the old man's face instantly broke into a smile, and his originally tightly closed eyes opened slightly. He nodded in satisfaction, reached out and smilingly touched his long white beard on his chin.

Then he carefully took out a small exquisite bottle from his bosom, handed it to Qianqian, and said softly: "Good child, today is our first meeting, Grandpa gives you a little trinket as a meeting gift."

Qianqian happily took the bottle and examined it carefully. She saw that the small bottle was emerald green all over, crystal clear, like a piece of flawless beautiful jade.

The mouth of the bottle was tightly stuffed, and a red thin string was tied on it, looking particularly exquisite and cute. She curiously raised her head, looked at the old man, and asked: "Liu Yeye, what is this?"

The old man smiled slightly and patiently explained: "This is an extremely precious Hundred Poisons Invulnerability Pill. As long as you take it, no matter what kind of poison you eat, you will never be poisoned. Even if someone is already poisoned, after eating it, they can immediately neutralize all toxins in the body."

Hearing this, Qianqian's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and joy, and she said excitedly: "Wow, so it's such a magical treasure! Thank you, Liu Yeye!" After speaking, she without hesitation put the small bottle into the small purse she carried with her, and gently patted it, as if afraid of losing it.

An Wang seeing this scene, shook his head helplessly, and said to the old man with a smile: "You really spoil her too much." The old man laughed heartily, waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's rare to see such a clever and obedient child, naturally one should cherish her more."

An Wang nodded, and then said: "Then this king will take her in first." After speaking, he turned and walked forward, and Qianqian followed closely behind. The two passed through the courtyard and soon came to a door.

An Wang raised his hand and gently pushed open the door, walked in first, and Qianqian followed closely, disappearing behind the door together.

Suddenly Qianqian felt her eyes light up, and her field of vision instantly became open. What appeared before her was actually a vast open space. This open space was cleverly divided into regular areas, each with a fighting platform.

Counting carefully, there were actually as many as nine such fighting platforms! At this moment, on each fighting platform, someone was fighting fiercely, and the scene was very lively.

What was even more eye-catching was that everyone here wore a set of black clothes exclusive to dark guards, but there were subtle differences between them—that was the color of the belts tied around their waists was not the same. Some were eye-catching yellow, some were bright red, and some were plain white.

When An Wang led Qianqian into this field, soon someone with sharp eyes discovered them, and quickly knelt down to salute, shouting loudly: "Greetings, Master!" With this shout, more and more people focused their attention, and knelt down to salute one after another.

Even those who were fighting fiercely on the fighting platforms, upon catching sight of An Wang, all stopped their movements in unison, and respectfully knelt down to pay respects.

An Wang seeing this, just casually waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Everyone rise, this king today just came to take a look." Hearing these words, everyone then slowly stood up, and turned their gaze back to the wonderful fighting on the fighting platforms.

However, Qianqian noticed that the colors of these people's belts were different, and her heart was inevitably full of curiosity. She blinked her lively big eyes, looked up at An Wang, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Father, why are their belt colors different?"

An Wang hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Haha, my family's Qianqian's eyes are really sharp! Actually, there is also a strict hierarchy within this Dark Guard Camp."

The hierarchy here is very clear, divided into four levels in total. At the bottom is the white level, slightly higher is the yellow level, then above is the red level, and standing at the top of the pyramid, the highest level is the golden level.

For example, Shiyi and Shi Er, they are both masters of the golden level! Perhaps you have noticed, there are no golden level figures seen here.

Actually the reason is very simple, those strong ones who have reached the golden level already have the ability to go out alone to carry out tasks. Except for leaving some people responsible for protecting us, almost all the rest have been sent out to carry out various tasks.

At this time, Qianqian could no longer suppress her curiosity, and asked: "Then what exactly are these tasks?" An Wang smiled slightly, and patiently explained: "There are many types of tasks, such as taking people's lives, protecting important figures, and gathering various intelligence.

And in Kyoto, we also set up a seemingly ordinary jewelry shop. However, this shop is not as simple as it looks on the surface! There are hidden mysteries inside! There is a shopkeeper there, specifically responsible for accepting various assassination tasks. Of course, whether to accept a certain task also depends on the amount of silver the customer offers."
