Hearing Yun Que's cold voice, a smile gradually appeared on Mu Qingyao's lips.
"You may be a person who is greedy for money or a person who is greedy for life, but you are definitely not an emotionless person. You could have stayed out of the incident when Chen Yuanwai's daughter fell into the well. You knew that there was an unmatched power behind the enemy, but you chose to Avenge her."
"The debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay. After killing those three murderers and avenging Sister Xiu'er, I will never owe anyone in this life." Yun Que said.
"The world of mortals is like a net. Once you walk in, it's hard to get out. The bonds are like the wind, all-pervasive. People are not wood or stone. How can we be ruthless?" Mu Qingyao said.
"My mother told me that feelings are superfluous. When there are feelings, there will be flaws, so I chose to abandon feelings and become a small coward who does not recognize feelings but only values money." Yun Que said.
"You have feelings, you like that kind sister Xiu'er." Mu Qingyao said.
"Yes, I still fantasize about marrying Sister Xiu'er, inheriting Yuan Yuan's family's wealth, and living a good life with nothing more than a shirt to put my hands on and food to open my mouth. Unfortunately, when I die, the last thing I like is gone." Yun Que said.
"You still have something. I know you still have something you like." Mu Qingyao said.
"The princess is good at reading people's hearts, but this time you guessed wrong. There is nothing in the world that I like. You can't say, I like you, right? I'm sorry, I just can't reach such a high level for a commoner like me. I don't have that." Ideas." Yun Que said.
"Even if you don't like me, at least you like my body. Otherwise, how could you look at me so intently when I was taking a bath." Mu Qingyao said.
An awkward atmosphere filled the dark cabin.
After a while, Yun Que's slightly annoyed voice sounded.
"Others will try their best to say good things when faced with the threat of being silenced. It's better for you. You have to add chips to it. When did I, a handsome man like me, peek at you taking a shower? Be careful, I will go to the Yamen to sue you for slander!"
The smile on the corner of Mu Qingyao's mouth became a little thicker and she said:
"When the light is bright, the blade body will reflect the scene behind you. I have been able to read and write since I was one year old. How could I not understand such a simple truth? Moreover, you read it twice."
Yun Que's expression became very exciting, and it took him a long time to return to normal.
"A man, yes, I saw it! So what!" Yun Que used rudeness to cover up his embarrassment.
"looks good."
Mu Qingyao asked three words softly, and Yun Que was like a frustrated ball, unable to answer for a while.
If you say it looks good, then you are at a disadvantage; if you say it looks ugly, it would be too much against your will.
This question really stumped Yun Que.
"The world of mortals is a net. You are already in the net. I am also a greedy person. Now that I know your flaw, I will take advantage of it to the extreme. Yun Que, as long as you escort me back to the imperial city, you will not only be able to see It’s enough and I can still touch it, but I can only touch it once.”
Yun Que sat up directly and stared at the little princess opposite.
Under the moonlight, Princess Lingyun was extremely beautiful. There was a kind of sanctity in her purity that made people dare not blaspheme her.
It would be false to say that you are not attracted by this special reward.
"You are a noble princess!" Yun Que took a deep breath and said.
"You are the princess when you are alive. If you die, you are just a corpse." Mu Qingyao said softly.
"It's so hard to make money for you. For two hundred taels, I have to deal with Mr. Pingshan, who wants to take advantage of you. He has to risk his life. I'm not a fool." Yun Que chuckled and said, "With two hundred taels, I have to deal with you." For two pieces of silver, I can spend half a month in a brothel in Baiyu City."
"There are countless promiscuous women in the world, but there is only one Princess Lingyun." Mu Qingyao said.
"Gold, silver, future, beauty... The princess spent a lot of money to win me over. Unfortunately, I was greedy for life and feared death, so I disappointed the princess. When we arrived at Baiyu City, we went our separate ways and were no longer involved. "Yun Que said.
"I'm not disappointed. It's the right choice for you not to take risks. Only by seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune can you live a long life. Yun Que, have you ever heard of the Red Lotus Sect?" Mu Qingyao said.
"I haven't heard of it. Maybe it's a cult that came out of nowhere. With this clue, the princess can follow the clues and find out the real culprit behind the scenes." Yun Que said.
"It's difficult. This is also the first time I've heard of a sect like the Red Lotus Sect." Mu Qingyao slowly shook her head.
"With the princess's methods, we will be able to find out the truth sooner or later. I will not get involved in this matter."
Yun Que rested for a while, then walked out the door and said, "I'm hungry, let's find something to eat."
I searched around the yard.
The village chief’s family has several dogs but no other poultry.
The dogs all collapsed on the ground, feces and urine flowing out, frightened by Pingshan Lord's evil aura.
After returning to the house, Yun Que said, "Let's go, we can't stay here for long."
The two left Xiaoshi Village in the dark.
Instead of taking the main road, he went into the forest on the roadside and rushed to Baiyu City from the small road.
Walking in the silent forest, Mu Qingyao whispered:
"You're not hungry. There must be food at the village chief's house. You should be looking for eggs. I don't understand why you have to eat eggs."
"It's not scary to guess people's hearts. What's scary is that you can always guess right. It's really difficult for a woman like you to marry in the future." Yun Que said.
"If there is no one I love, I would rather never marry." Mu Qingyao said.
"I wonder what kind of person the princess will choose," Yun Que said.
"The man I like can be despicable, selfish, or just waiting to die, but he must be a man who dares to fight against the world and will not bow down even if the gods and Buddhas in the sky overwhelm him." Mu Qingyao said with longing.
"Princess, don't worry, with this standard, you will definitely not be able to get married in this life." Yun Que said.
"Being alone and seeing all the prosperity in the world is a beautiful thing." Mu Qingyao said.
"In this world, no matter how prosperous it is, only the rich see it. The poor people cannot see the prosperity. They can only see bottomless rice vats and soup without oil. There is prosperity in the world, but more misery." Yun Que said.
Walk until midnight,
Yun Que found an open space in the forest and spread the wolf skins in the package on the ground.
"It should be safe enough here that no one can find it. Get some sleep first."
Yun Que fell asleep. The fierce battle with Pingshan Jun was too exhausting and he had to rest.
Mu Qingyao sat on the wolf skin, looked at the stars in the sky, and said:
"Yun Que, how about we exchange our secrets? In fact, I have some cultivation, but I can't use it now. I'll tell you my secret, and you tell me the secret in that knife. It's a fair deal, what do you think?"
"I'm not interested in knowing other people's secrets. If you don't bother me, I'll have to get up early and be on my way tomorrow."
After saying that, Yun Que fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Qingyao sat alone for a long time. She was also tired from the day. She stopped thinking about it and lay down next to Yun Que in her clothes.
That night, Princess Lingyun had a terrible nightmare.
She dreamed that the brown bear that chased her during the day turned into a terrifying monster, moving faster and faster until it swallowed her whole body.
Bang, bang bang.
Before the sky turned white, a strange banging sound rang out in the woods.
Yun Que suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of coldness flashing across his eyes.
This is a deserted mountain forest, not Xiaoshi Village, let alone Zangshi Town. Watchmen should not exist!
Bang, bang bang.
The sound of banging is getting closer and closer!
Mu Qingyao also woke up from the nightmare and looked into the depths of the forest with Yun Que.
Bang, bang bang...
Sand, sand, sand...
The weird banging sound, accompanied by tiny footsteps, came from far to near.
In the forest, a strange procession appeared.
There are four people in the front and back, and in the middle is a small red sedan, like a procession to welcome the bride.
These people are all dressed in red and have lotus-shaped masks on their faces.
The two people at the front of the team each held a huge red lantern with a lotus pattern painted on the surface.
The weirdest thing is that there is no one carrying the small sedan chair, but it floats on its own!
"The red candle never goes out!"
"The lotus platform lasts forever!"
The uniform slogans came from the team, which sounded very impressive in the wilderness.
"Red Lotus Sect..."
Mu Qingyao whispered secretly, her beautiful eyes full of fear.
The other party can actually find this place accurately, which shows how powerful the method is.
Whoever comes is definitely a powerful enemy!
After witnessing the terror of Lord Pingshan, Mu Qingyao no longer had much hope that she could return to Tianqi Imperial City alive.
She thought she would have a chance of survival after arriving at Baiyu City and joining the army. However, Mu Qingyao now realized that the other party had no intention of letting her walk into Baiyu City alive.
Yun Que muttered helplessly:
"If I had known that two hundred taels was so hard to earn, I wouldn't have taken this job no matter what."
Mu Qingyao knew that Yun Que had spent a lot of energy fighting Pingshan Lord, and his current fighting strength was probably not even half, so he whispered:
"If you can't do anything, just run away and don't worry about me."
"Complaining is just complaining, and business is business. Don't worry, I will keep you alive until we arrive at Baiyu City."
After Yun Que said this, he grabbed the scabbard and stood in front of Mu Qingyao, looking calm as he faced the strange team approaching.
The team stopped in front of the two men, and a high-pitched voice came from the sedan.
"The Red Lotus Sect is preaching, and the rest are retreating."
Yun Que held the knife with a smile on his face and said:
"Unruly people come out of poor mountains and rivers, and little demons run around in barren mountains and wild ridges. You teach your way, and I follow mine. Why retreat? Does this mountain belong to your family? The Jin Dynasty also belongs to your family?"
"Hehehe... what a young man with a sharp tongue."
The sedan slowly landed, and a hunchbacked young man stepped out.
This man was very tall, even though he was hunched over, he was taller than ordinary people. He had a long face that was bloodless and pale, and he was wearing a white robe. At first glance, he thought he was asking for his life.
"Just tell the truth." Yun Que said.
"I like people who tell the truth the most. I will give you a chance to disappear before my eyes within ten breaths. Otherwise, you will die miserably." The hunchbacked man said in a high-pitched voice.
"If it disappears, it will disappear. I'm afraid of you. Let's go."
Yun Que pulled Mu Qingyao and left.
"You can only go by yourself. Princess Lingyun has to stay. She is the most important person to our leader." The hunchbacked man said with a strange smile.
"Who is your leader? He dares to even think of the princess." Yun Que stopped walking.
"When you enter our Red Lotus Holy Cult, you can naturally see the leader's style." The hunchbacked man said.
"I'm not interested in your Red Lotus Sect. Who are you and how did you come after you?" Yun Que said.
"I am the protector of the Red Lotus Sect, Zuo Bai. Princess Lingyun is like a bright light in the dark night, guiding the direction in the dark. This is fate. She is destined to join the Red Lotus and become the immortal red candle." The hunchbacked man said.
"Stop farting and tell the truth." Yun Que said.
"Haha, it's straightforward enough, okay! It's okay to tell you that Princess Lingyun is a psychic body, also known as a Xuanyin body. Her soul is extremely special and possesses the power of Yin. She can see spiritual bodies. At the same time, she will also be watched by the spirit body. As long as you follow the guidance of the spirit body's gaze, you can find the princess herself." said the hunchbacked man.
"As expected, it is a bright light in the dark night. You shouldn't be traveling at night." Yun Que sighed.
Mu Qingyao's physique is too conspicuous in the dark night. If he wants to leave no traces, he must kill all the spirits he encounters along the way.
Otherwise, those spirits who discovered Mu Qingyao would look in the direction Mu Qingyao left for a long time.
"Ten breaths are up, little one, you deserve to die."
The hunchbacked man raised his left hand with a sharp smile, and an astonishing cold air suddenly burst out from the palm of his hand!
The cold air rushed straight towards Yun Que, condensing into an ice crystal flying sword on the way!
The moment the hunchbacked man showed his aura, Mu Qingyao whispered:
"Taoist monk! Seventh-level Bigu Realm!"
