On the avenue connected to the south gate of the city, there was an endless stream of people entering the city.
Simple carts and luxurious carriages crisscrossed the crowds, and there were noisy shouts of people everywhere. After a few days of silence, Zhuque City, a large city with a large population, took the lead in showing what it should do in the south of the city. Some energy.
The girl stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the flow of people who were still pouring in from the direction of the city gate, mentally comparing it with her hometown.
"Why……"
After a moment of silence, she frowned and sighed.
She knew too few people in this city. In addition to staying in this attic that had no owner for the past few days, she had been looking for their traces outside.
But what depresses or puzzles her the most is that the other party should be well-known to everyone, but she has inquired many times without getting even the slightest information.
The experiences she had experienced in the past few days made her understand that there must be some misunderstanding, and the person she was looking for might not be what she thought his identity should be.
The girl stood in front of the window, squinting her eyes, trying to recall the previous experience of meeting the other person, trying to find any possible clues.
But in the end it failed again.
She retracted her blank gaze towards the crowd. Just when she was about to give up on this completely luck-based approach, she paused in her turning movement and narrowed her eyes to look ahead.
She didn't know if it was a happy gathering, but she saw a somewhat familiar face next to the carriage that was heading into the city along with the crowd.
This discovery made her focus her gaze and look at it with concentration. After all, it was very unusual to see a familiar face in this crowd of strangers.
But unfortunately, the flow of people was much faster than her stunned skills. When she tried to look for that familiar face again, the other person had already disappeared into the crowd.
What kept the girl from being completely disappointed was that at least she didn't lose the carriage.
And she also discovered that this carriage seemed to belong to the same convoy as the carriages not far behind and behind.
The girl hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to try her luck.
…
When Mu Qing arrived in front of the house, the door of the entire house was open, but it seemed very quiet inside, which made him think that he had gone to the wrong place.
But fortunately, Ning Chu appeared in front of him soon.
Ning Chu glanced behind Mu Qing, then looked at him and asked, "Junior sister didn't come with you?"
Mu Qing shook his head and said: "Shaoyao wants to take care of Uncle Zhang and the others. I will come to you when I have time."
When Ning Chu heard this answer, he nodded expressionlessly, "Oh, then what are you doing here? I remember that Mrs. Wang specially prepared the place, not here."
In order not to disturb everyone, Wang Yeqing specially set aside a place for meetings with various forces in the city. Mu Qing naturally agreed to this approach. In fact, that was where he came from just now.
He had clearly felt a few eyes watching him as he entered, and more and more informants were staring there, but no force came forward first. These people seemed to be waiting for a better opportunity.
For Mu Qing, his time is much more precious than those who are still hesitating and entangled.
"I stayed there for a while, but no one came to the door for the time being, so I came to check on you."
Mu Qing looked away from Ning Chu's hand holding the sword and smiled bitterly: "Senior sister, there is no need to be so wary of me."
Ning Chu shook his head and said calmly: "I'm not targeting you, I just hope you can be as calm as possible for a few days."
Mu Qing nodded apologetically and said seriously: "Don't worry about this. If I don't want those people to see me, there is no way they will know where I have gone. Those people should still be guarding me over there now."
Ning Chu nodded lightly: "Yes."
She turned around and walked inside, and Mu Qing followed slowly. The doors to some rooms were open, and luggage that had not yet been opened could be seen inside.
"Where are the others? Why are you the only one here, senior sister?"
"Do you think you can bring back everything you need in just one trip?"
Ning Chu walked into a room, came to the table and poured two cups of hot tea. After Mu Qing also came in, he said softly: "We still have a lot of things left outside the city. Mrs. Wang led Xiu Wei and the others again Go back and move things."
Mu Qing picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip. His expression relaxed a little. He didn't care if this was Ning Chu's private room. After sitting down, he said, "Did Sister Yueshan go back with you?"
Ning Chu glanced at Mu Qing and said after a moment: "No, Sister Yueshan has not come back with us before. She has been outside the city."
Mu Qing's movement while serving the tea froze. He remembered that he had indeed not seen Liu Yueshan at the city gate just now. He sighed softly and said nothing.
Ning Chu looked at Mu Qing and frowned slightly: "Your current state is a bit abnormal."
Mu Qing did not deny it and said: "I have experienced some things these days, but don't worry, I can still adjust."
Ning Chu wanted to ask Mu Qing what he thought about Zhang Shaoyao, but as he spoke, he felt that the current atmosphere was inappropriate. Just as the atmosphere between the two was about to fall silent, there was a sound coming from outside. Some movement.
Ning Chu turned around and walked towards the door, "They are back."
Mu Qing had already stood up. After Ning Chu walked to the door, he seemed to have seen the person coming. The smile on his face just bloomed, but he suddenly froze and turned to look at Mu Qing.
"What's wrong?" Mu Qing walked quickly towards Ning Chu. He saw the suspicion in Ning Chu's eyes, which made him really confused about the situation.
"Mrs. Wang."
Mu Qing saw Wang Yeqing who was walking towards this side first, nodded, and glanced behind Wang Yeqing, "Xiu Wei... huh?"
Mu Qing looked at the girl next to Wang Xiuwei in surprise. His attention was on Wang Yeqing just now, and he didn't notice the sudden appearance of this person.
"who is she?"
Listening to the somewhat suspicious voices around him, Mu Qing knew without even thinking that Ning Chu was looking at him as if he was looking at a scum. He quickly explained: "Senior sister, don't get me wrong, this is Baizhi."
"Baizhi?"
When Ning Chu heard this special surname, he took a look at the girl who was walking towards her. Her age should not be much different from Shaoyao's, and her appearance was not bad either. If Mu Qing liked this look, there was no reason why he wouldn't like her. Junior sister...
Bai Zhi had already seen Mu Qing growing up in front of a beautiful woman. She was very happy in her heart for the last-minute idea, otherwise she would not have been so lucky to see Mu Qing.
Wang Yeqing walked to Mu Qing and stopped, nodding towards Mu Qing: "This is a complete coincidence. I didn't expect to see this little girl in Suzaku City."
Bai Zhi quickened her pace and walked to Wang Yeqing's side. A smile appeared on her tired little face that she could finally relax. She opened her mouth and was suddenly stunned for a moment.
Mu Qing seemed to have guessed what was going on and said, "Just call me Mu Qing."
He didn't communicate with Bai Zhi that often, not to mention that he now had something he wanted to know more.
After the initial excitement, Bai Zhi quickly adjusted her emotions. She shook her head and said seriously: "No, according to etiquette, I should call you master."
"Master?" Ning Chu looked at the two people in front of him in shock, and finally reacted and looked at Bai Zhi: "Who is your master?"
Bai Zhi saw that the woman next to Mu Qing reacted a bit, and she felt angry and wary, but after thinking about it, she said honestly: "My master is Ye Yun, um, who is this sister?"
Mu Qing guessed that Ning Chu was somewhat aggrieved by Zhang Shaoyao, but he did not expect that Bai Zhi in front of him seemed to have the consciousness to stand up for her master, and said quickly: "This is my senior sister, Ning Chu."
Bai Zhi instantly understood that this was not the "Murong Jing" that Wang Xiuwei said, and nodded to Ye Yun with some embarrassment: "Hello, Uncle Ning!"
Ning Chu's pretty face had always been tense, but at this moment, she finally broke through. Her eyes flickered, and she frowned and said softly: "You can just call me Senior Sister Ning, or Sister Ning."
Bai Zhi's eyes were a little panicked and she was about to change her words, but Wang Yeqing on the side laughed out loud: "We women don't want to be called senior. Miss Bai doesn't need to call Mu Qing from now on. According to your own age Just come."
Bai Zhi nodded seriously: "Thank you, Senior Wang, I will remember it."
Before leading everyone, Mu Qing looked towards the door: "Where's Sister Yueshan, hasn't she come back yet?"
Wang Xiu smiled and said, "You really have to thank Sister Yueshan at home. She is leading Wu Ling and the others to sort out their things. You can leave together later."
Mu Qing nodded in agreement, looked at Wang Xiuwei in front of him, whom he had not seen for a while, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuwei has been working hard during this period."
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "What a hard work I have done. You really have to thank me. Thank you, Lord Huaigu, and thank my mother."
Wang Yeqing was still standing aside with a smile, but seeing that Mu Qing and his daughter seemed to be chatting, he coughed lightly: "Xiu Wei, since Mu Qing is here, let Miss Bai have a good chat with him, let's go Help Yueshan and the others."
"okay."
Wang Xiuwei was led by Wang Yeqing to the front yard. Ning Chu looked at Mu Qing who obviously had something to ask, nodded and said, "I'll go outside and take a look."
In the room, Mu Qing poured a cup of hot tea for Bai Zhi. After Bai Zhi took a sip, she asked, "Why are you here? Did your master ask you to come to me?"
"Um?"
Bai Zhi raised her head and looked at Mu Qing with a puzzled expression, blinked and asked, "Master, don't you know yet?"
Mu Qing could probably connect some things together. He didn't bother to correct Bai Zhi's name. He frowned and said, "I heard about your master being approached by those from the Gu family, but I didn't know that you were here too." Got here.”
Bai Zhi's eyes widened. She looked at Mu Qing, who had a serious face, and there was even a trace of self-doubt in her eyes. "It was Miss Liu who rescued me. Didn't the master meet her?"
Speaking of this possibility, Bai Zhi had already stood up.
When Mu Qing heard this, he roughly connected some things together and said in deep thought: "You were taken all the way to Suzaku City by Gu Yuan and the others, and then rescued by Wei Rui? If this is true, this is too..."
"It's such a fate, right?" Bai Zhi nodded vigorously, and then asked worriedly: "I thought the master already knew about me from Miss Liu. It seems that the two of you haven't met yet, so will she?" dangerous?"
"Well……"
Thinking of what he had experienced in the past few days, Mu Qing guessed that Liu Weirui had really forgotten...
After all, he didn't want to do anything before he found Murong Jing again.
"I have already met Wei Rui, but there are some complications here."
"Oh, as long as Miss Liu is fine."
Seeing that Mu Qing was embarrassed, Bai Zhi didn't ask any more questions. Only now did Mu Qing ask the question he wanted to ask when he first saw Bai Zhi: "Can you remember the specific location where your master entered the black storm?"
Bai Zhi's eyes suddenly brightened a little. She raised her head and asked excitedly: "Master is going to save Master, right? I remember the location and the direction of the black storm at that time."
Mu Qing replied firmly: "Of course. I will put things in Suzaku City on track as soon as possible, and then set off for the Northern Wilderness Ancient Battlefield."
"Great!" Bai Zhi said excitedly.
For Bai Zhi, who has lost the concept of home, Ye Yun is probably the person closest to her in the world.
However, the smile on Bai Zhi's face quickly disappeared. She said sadly: "Those people in the Gu family often talked about the dangers of the black storm. Even the two old men didn't dare to break in at that time. I don't know about Master..."
Mu Qing felt a pain in his heart. He had been deliberately avoiding thinking about Ye Yun. Gu Yan's strength was truly the pinnacle of otherworldliness. He had never set foot in the Black Storm with such a level of cultivation. Although Mu Qing had not witnessed it with his own eyes Although he has seen the black storm, he can already roughly understand how terrifying this existence similar to a natural disaster is.
Mu Qing patted Bai Zhi on the shoulder: "From the ancient battlefield to Suzaku City, you have spanned the entire Hibiscus Dynasty, but even at such a long distance, you can meet Wei Rui."
Bai Zhi raised her head in confusion.
Mu Qing tried his best to show a reassuring smile: "You can meet us again. Fate and coincidence always seem to be at work. This actually shows a lot of things. I have to believe that nothing will happen to your master."
Bai Zhi remembered that she followed the carriage and found Mu Qing today, which was indeed something that even she found incredible. She relaxed a little, but she quickly thought of another question: "I heard Sister Xiuwei say, Master, are you the lord of Suzaku City? Can you still walk away?"
Mu Qing frowned slightly and nodded firmly, "Don't worry, I will never break my promise."
Bai Zhi lowered her head: "Then...okay."
Seeing Bai Zhi hesitate to speak, Mu Qing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized that he had missed an extremely important question: "How long has it been since your master broke into the black storm?"
Bai Zhi was silent for a moment and said with difficulty: "It's been more than ten days."
Bai Zhi raised her head and said seriously: "The people from the Gu family are actually traveling very fast. If you subtract the few days spent in Baidi City, it will take almost ** days to get from Beihuang to Suzaku City."
The reference example given by Bai Zhi made Mu Qing frown. He was confident that his speed would not be much slower than Gu Yan and the others. But taking Bai Zhi with him, if it would take more than ten days to go to the ancient battlefield, then by that time What kind of situation is waiting for you?
And he can't set off immediately now. How many days will it take until Suzaku City becomes official?
Silence, an oppressive silence.
"Master?"
Bai Zhi seemed to have guessed something. She frowned and looked at Mu Qing, "I know it's hard for you to leave here now. Can you contact Master's father? I think that senior may have some ideas."
Mu Qing looked at Bai Zhi in surprise.
Bai Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "I know that I can't beat anyone, so I probably thought of all the ways I could think of."
Mu Qing nodded: "I will try my best to speed up things here and get things on track. Then I will take you to find your master. But the idea you mentioned is a good one. I will try to contact that senior."
