The daily population flow in Dongcui City is quite astonishing, but lately, it’s clear this number is steadily increasing.
All these people are won, each standing eight feet tall, majestic and burly. They possess an extraordinary aura but are skilled in disguise. Once through the city gates, they quickly blend in like a drop of water in the ocean. Even if noticed, it’s difficult to track their whereabouts.
At the sa ti, at the Nun’s Cottage on Burial Dragon Mountain, a middle-aged woman with lingering charm stepped outside and boarded a carriage.
"Family Head, Miss Xiyu wants to cancel the engagent."
The woman sighed softly, "This child is too rebellious. Sooner or later, she’ll know my intentions are for her own good."
Dongcui City, Qin family.
Liang Yuening, who was covering for Yixuan’s identity, was feeling downcast. The Second Elder harbored ill intentions toward him, and the servants in the mansion despised him. Of course, these were minor issues; his main concern was sothing else.
Sothing happened.
His eldest brother, Third Brother, and fourth brother were gone. In the city, only his wife, himself, Second Brother, and Sixth Brother remained.
He could sense that sothing was happening, the most obvious evidence being that his wife was becoming busier.
The weather grew warr, and on this day, Yue Ning shook off the spies tracking him for the Second Elder. He secretly sneaked into the courtyard bought by his eldest brother, only to find Second Brother alone strumming a zither under the tree.
"Where’s Yingying?" He was puzzled and looked next door to find Liu Yan and those ghosts were all gone.
Shu Yu slowly straightened his clothes, "Huiying went out."
"Ah? Where did she go?"
Shu Yu turned his head, gazing toward the direction outside the city.
"Where she went, I don’t know, but it’s surely safe."
"When will Yingying co back?"
Shu Yu lowered his gaze, "Perhaps in a few days, perhaps a few months, who knows. Now that she’s gone, I should be on my way too."
Yue Ning was baffled, utterly confused.
...
Outside Dongcui City, there is a hidden grand canyon.
Yun Ge led a troop of several hundred elite soldiers transporting a batch of important supplies to et with Dong Huiying.
She was still dressed in black, wearing an eyepatch, her long hair white as snow, but her good mood was palpable.
"Really planning to take action?"
Dong Huiying wore a purple, tight-fitting outfit, her long hair no longer styled into an exquisite and beautiful bun but tied up in a high ponytail, making her appear more valiant and spirited.
Yun Ge gazed at Dong Huiying, captivated, unwilling to take her eyes off her.
Her Purple Chervil, so heroic, wearing this military attire, looked stunning yet dazzling, drawing everyone’s attention, like a blazing sun, intensely bright.
However, glancing at the girl’s hands, she noticed Huiying holding a half-eaten roasted chicken leg, her hands covered in grease, looking quite like a food lover.
Yun Ge: "..."
Suddenly felt at a loss for words?
Dong Huiying swiftly finished the chicken leg in her hand. Nearby, Hong Fei, who had co from afar, handed her a clean, white handkerchief. She wiped her hands and then her mouth. Before answering Yun Ge’s previous question—was she really planning to take action?
Her eyebrow arched, "Absolutely, now that everyone is here, everything is ready. The supplies you brought are like the eastern wind we needed."
Hearing this, Yun Ge couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Who would’ve thought, that there would be a day to fight alongside you."
