Yunzhi smiled slightly, "This time it was a coincidence. I didn't suspect her at first. I just wanted to help her out. Unexpectedly, the moment I touched her, her whole body stiffened and her body reacted greatly. Although she She is a blind girl, but she can tell through the sound that she and I are both women. I had good intentions to help her, so she would not react so badly. In addition, since she is a singer and dares to come to such an inn, she must have some special skills. Yes, but she can't even play the most popular ditties, and only knows some elegant music, which is very strange. Only then did I confirm that her identity was disguised, but I didn't expect that she would be exposed after just testing her."
Yunzhi actually didn't care about not catching the singer. Since the man could follow them for so long without being discovered, it meant that he had some magic power, so it was not unexpected that he had a way to escape.
Yunzhi was happy to find someone following them. This matter had troubled her for a long time, and even made her doubt herself for a time. It's easy to lose face in front of your disciples. If you really make a mistake in your judgment, wouldn't it mean that you are no longer good?
No one wants to admit that they are not good enough, men and women are the same.
"Master, what should we do next? Should we set off now?" Qiu Ziyu, who was lying on the bed, hurriedly offered suggestions in order to show that he was still useful.
Yunzhi nodded, "We just exposed his disguise. He should have restrained himself a bit recently. We can take this opportunity to leave and maybe get rid of them."
After discussing it, and after Qiu Ziyu was fine, the three of them set off overnight. On the road, it was exactly as Yunzhi expected. She no longer felt like she was being watched.
They traveled all the way until four days later, the three of them came to a fork in the road.
According to the map, the road to the southeast is closer and wider. The road to the southwest is not only a detour, but the road surface is also bumpy and in disrepair. But along the way, everyone chooses the road to the southwest.
Yunzhi was puzzled, and after asking around, he found out that robbers would occasionally rob someone halfway along the southeastern road. If an unsuspecting person took that road, there was basically no chance of escaping unscathed.
After hearing this, Yunzhi made a decisive decision, "Take the southeast route and rob."
Perhaps it was because the carriage they were driving was too shabby, but the journey was very peaceful. They had almost finished the road, and Yunzhi didn't even see the shadow of a robber.
Instead, I saw a clay figurine sitting on the roadside, disheveled and even without shoes. I could vaguely tell it was a man.
Yunzhi didn't feel the murderous aura in the man. Seeing how pitiful he was, he stopped the carriage and got out of the car to take a look.
She walked up to the clay figure, bent down, and asked softly, "Master, why are you sitting alone on the roadside?"
The clay figurine raised his head and looked at Yunzhi, then wiped his face with the only clean spot on his clothes, revealing a delicate and gentle face. He stood up and saluted Yunzhi, saying respectfully, "Thank you, Miss, for caring. , there are robbers on this road, I was just robbed of some worthless property by the robbers. Girl, you should go another way, this place is dangerous, there should be another road when you come, that road is safe."
Yunzhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would still think about her when he was in such a mess. Yunzhi curtsied in return, "Thank you for your advice, Master. However, we are cultivators and are not afraid of these robbers. Instead, we want to get rid of these robbers and do harm to the people. Master, if you don't mind, you can be my carriage. The journey is long." , we can take you out."
The man sighed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, girl, but you are late. The robbers here will hide after grabbing the order, and then come out to do evil again when the limelight passes. You may not be able to find them now." "
Yunzhi thought for a while and decided to give up. Originally, it was just a convenient thing to deal with the robbers, but now it's not convenient. She silently recited the cleaning formula and helped the young man in front of her clean up briefly. She found him more and more pleasing to the eye because of his delicate features.
The young man looked at his clean and new clothes with shock on his face, and saluted Yunzhi directly, "Thank you for your help, girl. I can't repay you now, so I'm very grateful!"
Yunzhi smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a little effort. Unfortunately, I can't conjure up shoes. However, my apprentice has men's boots prepared. If you don't mind, you can wear them temporarily."
After hearing this, the young man's eyes widened even more. Yunzhi ignored him and pulled him into the carriage, helped him tidy up, and the four of them set off together.
After chatting, Yunzhi learned that the young master was listed as a scholar. He was going to Beijing to take the exam this time. He was traveling the same way as them, but he was farther away than them. He comes from a wealthy family and carries a lot of money on the road, so he is targeted by robbers. Fortunately, there is a bank in the town closest to here, and he will feel much better if he withdraws the money.
After Shan Ming withdrew the money, in order to repay Yunzhi for saving his life, he bought them a luxurious carriage with a driver and gave them a lot of gifts. Yunzhi even vaguely thought that they had robbed them. The result of banditry.
Later, Shan Ming traveled with them. With Shan Ming's help, they felt much more comfortable along the way.
But the longer they got along, the more Yunzhi realized there was something wrong. At first, she only felt that this person had a dull bookishness and nothing else. After getting along with her for a few days, she felt that this person was too kind to them, and he didn't have any charming thoughts. He was just thinking about them and helping them in their future. Busy Queen takes care of everything, and she always feels familiar when she gets along with Shan Ming.
Yunzhi became wary again. When he was alone with Shan Ming, Yunzhi casually asked Shan Ming why he was so nice to them. However, the next day Shan Ming said he had something to do and excused himself.
So Shan Ming took nothing, only rode a horse, and galloped away.
Qing'er and Qiu Ziyu looked at the valet in the luxury car left by Shan Ming with confused expressions on their faces, not knowing what was going on.
But he had woken up and knew that Shan Ming was disguised as the person following them, but he didn't find out. Yunzhi looked at everything he left behind. She was so angry that her teeth itched, but she felt that there was no need to be angry.
Now she really couldn't understand the situation more and more. This feeling of not being able to control the situation made her very panic.
From then on, Yunzhi no longer dared to mess around on the road, and just kept her head on the road. The Beizhen sect who had previously preferred to walk rather than arrive quickly now wanted to arrive the next day.
Hurrying slowly, there were only two days left to drive from Beizhen Sect. There were more and more convoys of immortal cultivators on the road. Yunzhi finally relaxed a little.
But just today, the weather changed suddenly and it suddenly started raining heavily. It rained heavily all day, making the road very muddy. Their car got stuck in the mud many times and was difficult to get out. It was very embarrassing for a while. Now that it was difficult to travel, they could only find an inn to stay temporarily.
Until midnight, they finally found an inn, but found that the door of the inn was already full of carriages, and the innkeeper kept urging the carriages to leave. Qiu Ziyu got out of the car in the rain to inquire about the situation, and learned that the inn was full and was about to close.
Yunzhi got out of the car and was about to step forward to ask the innkeeper to be accommodating. She saw that the guests and the shop owner at the door had become quiet, and they took a step back tacitly, as if to make way for someone. Then a woman in white, holding an oil-paper umbrella, walked out of the inn. Coming to the door.
The heavy rain hit her oil-paper umbrella, splashing a layer of water mist, and the raindrops scattered from the edge of the umbrella like running water, as if it had opened up a small crystal clear barrier for her. She held her white skirt in one hand and walked lightly. The mud and water had not polluted her in the slightest, like a Tianshan snow lotus that was not contaminated by worldly dust.
Soon, Yunzhi confirmed that the woman was walking in her direction. Her pupils dilated unconsciously, and she subconsciously took a few steps back, then turned around and got on the carriage to leave.
"Girl, please wait a moment." A sweet female voice came from behind Yunzhi.
After listening, the carriage on Yunzhi went faster.
But even though she was fast, the carriage was already blocked here and couldn't move. The woman walked to the carriage and knocked politely on the edge. Yunzhi opened the car curtain and was about to question her, but when she saw the woman for the first time, Yunzhi suddenly felt her nose itchy and sneezed suddenly. She suddenly forgot what she wanted to say.
Yunzhi looked at the smiling woman in white in front of him and asked softly, "Who are you?"
"Zhi'er, you don't even know me. I'm Xiaoxuan." The woman's voice was sweet, even seductive.
The confused expression on Yunzhi's face only lasted for a moment, and then he suddenly realized, "It's Xiaoxuan," Yunzhi's voice suddenly became enthusiastic, "It's such a coincidence that I met you here, hurry up and get in the carriage. , don’t get caught in the rain.”
The woman named Xiaoxuan shook her head, then made a "please" gesture and said, "Don't take it with you in the carriage. I'm here to invite you to the inn. I still have a vacant room in the inn."
After half a stick of incense, under the envious gazes of everyone, Yunzhi and the three of them led the carriage and checked into the inn.
Qing'er and Qiu Ziyu looked at Yunzhi who was reminiscing with Xiaoxuan and felt something was wrong. Yunzhi didn't have this attitude at first. Not only did he not know Xiaoxuan, he even avoided her. Besides, they had followed Yunzhi since they were young and had never heard of a person like "Xiao Xuan".
Qing'er poured a cup of hot tea for Yunzhi and Xiaoxuan, and said to Yunzhi, "Master, don't just focus on reminiscing about old times. You haven't introduced this girl to your apprentice yet."
Yunzhi looked like he suddenly understood again, "Thanks to Qing'er for reminding me, I really forgot such an important thing. This is Xiaoxuan, it's..."
She paused and looked at Xiaoxuan, with a trace of imperceptible confusion in her eyes, and then she immediately regained her clarity, "It's the vixen! The vixen that I saved from an injustice when I was young."
There was a slight twitch at the corner of Xiaoxuan's mouth, and he smiled unnaturally, "Zhi'er, you are still so straightforward in your speech..."
Qing'er and Qiu Ziyu looked at each other and confirmed the abnormality. They didn't know that their master had the habit of saving goblins casually. They only knew that goblins were just payment for walking in the eyes of their master.
