With that, Qian Li turned and left.
The butler looked after her.
He gradually fell into deep thought.
"Have they left?" Gong Ming suddenly appeared behind him. The butler came to his senses.
"Yes, I just left."
"What did she say?"
"I didn't say anything. I just said that I need to say my goodbyes earlier."
"Say goodbye earlier?"
The butler nodded, thinking that Gong Ming would say something else, but he didn't. Not really.
After waiting for a long time, he still did not express any opinion.
"You can send me tonight's dinner. A bowl of noodles is good enough. Without This King's instructions, no matter who it is, do not disturb This King."
"Yes."
As soon as the butler finished speaking, the door behind him was closed.
The steward was lost in thought as he looked at the two men in front of him.
Just to be safe, Qian Li did not gather with Li Mo and his sister at the dilapidated temple, but instead went to meet them in the near vicinity of the polar region.
"We are still not familiar with the surrounding situation. After a day, we will enter the outermost region of the polar region. Right now, we should discuss what to do next."
"It's naturally impossible to rashly head there. How about this, you two are both women." After travelling for such a long distance, we definitely cannot take it anymore. How about this, you guys rest here, I'll go and find out what's going on. "
Qian Li frowned, and did not say a word.
This was a small border town. Although it was an inn, there were very few people. According to the boss, only caravans that passed by occasionally stayed at this place.
And today, other than them, there was no one else.
The boss had previously said, "You guys don't look like merchants, why would you come to this kind of place?"
"Looking for someone." Qian Li said.
"The little old man has stayed in this place for so many years. I don't mind telling you who this lady is looking for, maybe you've met her before."
The shopkeeper was obviously a very shrewd person. Although he looked kind and amiable on the surface, there were some things that could be seen from his eyes.
Qian Li shook her head, "Forget it, it's fine if we don't look for them. They have already been gone for many years, and I had already given up on them. We won't be looking for him anymore, we have to go back now. "
"In that case, I can only wish you a pleasant journey."
Qian Li knew, in this kind of small border town, even if it was just a small inn, they would definitely be people who were hiding like crouching tigers and hidden dragons. If it wasn't like this, then wanting to live a good life in this kind of place where not even a speck of dirt grew, that would simply be … It was a very difficult thing.
"Thank you."
"This place is close to the desert, and there aren't many good things to eat. There are only noodles and celestial honey for dessert."
Qian Li did not say anything. Li Ran, who was at the side, was a little curious, "What is Immortal nectar?"
In the desert, only they can live a good life, and they can even live a good life. We don't have a lot of food, and the traffic isn't very developed, so we can only rely on these things to survive when the weather routes are blocked. Over time, we also used these things to make some pretty tasty things.
"In that case, the shopkeeper can just give us some."
"Alright."
After saying that, Qian Li turned and went upstairs.
This kind of place usually did not have many rooms. The shopkeeper's room, Attendant's room, and the rest only had three rooms.
Originally, he planned to rent three rooms, but the shopkeeper said that if there were any other people who didn't want to stay, he would let Qian Li and Li Ran stay in one.
Regarding this suggestion, neither Qian Li nor Li Ran objected.
And like this, Li Mo felt a little more at ease with them. He had thought that the two girls living together would, in the end, take care of each other a little.
"No." Li Ran, who seemed to be easy to talk about, actually retorted, "I might not be as good as you guys in other martial arts, but I can't do anything about Lightness Exercise, so I should …"
Qian Li came back to reality and before sshe could express his thoughts, he had already heard Li Mo's words.
He said, "This place is unfamiliar. You are a girl, how can I not worry."
"Big brother, we need to think based on the actual situation. Usually, it doesn't matter if you defend me, but the time is pressing, you can't be so selfish."
"I'm a man. I should be the one to go first in a situation like this."
Seeing the two of them arguing endlessly, Qian Li suddenly spoke, "Let Li Ran go."
Hearing this, Li Ran heaved a sigh of relief, but Li Mo was actually conflicted. She even said it out loud, "We siblings will only listen to one person's orders for our entire lives, although the Lady is helping us to move you, even though you are Master's friend, we can pretend that we didn't hear anything she says to you."
Qian Li nodded, and slowly drank the tea in her hand.
She said, "Of course you don't have to listen to my commands, but I know that even though this time we all have a slim chance of survival, in order to reduce our losses, we need to get familiar with our surroundings because …" Of the three of us, at least one of us must survive, because … The matter of the Prime Minister Mansion back then had yet to be investigated thoroughly, and because Murong Yan's ugliness had not been reported, … In order to minimize the damage brought by this matter, I agree with Li Ran, "Mu Xuanyin said in a low voice.
Without waiting for the two to speak, Qian Li continued, "Leaving aside our personal feelings, I truly feel that Li Ran's words are more reasonable. Amongst the three of us, her Lightness Exercise is the best, if even a Lightness Exercise like Li Ran is unable to escape, then we might really need to consider whether or not we really need to enter this place."
Li Ran nodded her head, and she frowned, "With regards to this matter of life and death, can Miss Qian Li tell me the news of the Prime Minister and his wife's corpses being in the extreme lands? "Where did you get it?"
Qian Li's body seemed to have some sort of magic, as though even if she didn't speak, and just stood there, they would all uncontrollably believe her words.
"The information is absolutely reliable, but the only thing that the people who know about it say is that there is nothing else in this place." So, what I want to say is, since those people with high status and power may not be able to find this place or understand it, then … The dangers of the road ahead are limitless. That person told me that this place usually doesn't have a way out. "Therefore, I hope that all of you will be prepared before entering. There is one more thing that I wish to say for the last time."
"If you guys still don't want to die, you guys can choose not to enter this time. I'll go myself, but if I am unable to come out alive after I enter, then I'll have to depend on you guys for matters regarding the Prime Minister Mansion."
"Sorry."
Li Mo apologized, "It's not that we want to doubt Miss, as we said before, in this lifetime, this choice will not change anything."
Qian Li raised her head and looked at Li Mo.
However, the seriousness on his face remained the same.
Not daring to meet his gaze, Qian Li just shifted her gaze.
The only reason she said that kind of thing was because she wanted them to retreat voluntarily or give them one last chance to choose.
However, when she saw such a firm gaze, the one that she could not face was instead herself.
After all, how could she have the ability to obtain the death vow of two good people?
"Since you have already said so much, we must work even harder and live on. Don't worry, we are lucky. We will survive until the end. However, you two, there will be no retreat after this."
The two siblings nodded. It was also at this time that they finally understood that Qian Li was actually saying those words with painstaking effort. After knowing the truth of the situation, they did not complain, but felt that their hearts were a little warm.
Li Ran instantly smiled. She herself was a girl who liked to laugh, so she said, "You guys don't have to worry about me either. I also feel that if we can't even get through the door this time and can't find any information, then … You can come back and think about it, can't you? As long as she knew that this matter was real, then everything was not a problem. There's still plenty of time. "
