C249 Why Not Together

After Shang Zhiqing bid her farewell to the little emperor of the Yue Country, Jun Changyou simply packed her clothes and rode on her steed, travelling day and night, as she quickly advanced in Shen Haoxuan's direction.

Fortunately, Ji Rufeng had previously studied Xuanyuan Chen and the other two's route to Chu Country at the Regent's Manor. At that time, although she did not say that he would mind, he had actually quietly memorized all the routes in his mind.

Because she knew that even if Shen Haoxuan's matter didn't happen, she would still choose to say her goodbyes to him. The Chu Country was surrounded by dense forest and the tall trees covered the sky. There were many unknown wild beasts lurking around.

She really couldn't rest at ease.

At this time, Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong and Shen Haoxuan were riding fine horses, and had already slowly arrived at the border between the Chu Country and the Heavenly Sage.

Qicheng.

It was a small border city, with a sparse population and little development of trade. It was basically self-sufficient.

Xie Qingrong wandered around Qi City and quickly reached this conclusion.

When Shen Haoxuan returned to the room, Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen had already ordered the waiter to prepare some food and place it on the table. Shen Haoxuan was feeling hungry and unrestrained, so he sat down and started to eat.

After solving his stomach problem, he told the news that he found to Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen.

"This is just a small town, and most of the people here have lived here for their entire lives. Only a very small number of young people would want to go out and adventure for a while."

"However, I heard from an old lady who bought tofu flowers that when we leave this town, we would be able to see a towering mountain about 10 miles away." However, I heard from an old lady who bought tofu flowers that when we leave this town, we would be able to see a towering mountain about 10 miles away.

"The people here call this mountain the Misty Mountain. Because this place was shrouded in fog all year round, no one that had entered this place had ever come out. Over time, no one will dare to enter this mountain. "

The corner of Xie Qingrong's mouth hooked up and revealed a smile. It was a little cold, but also a little light, "It sounds a little interesting."

She could already guess the mysteries of the mountain: fog, snow, jungle, beasts.

No wonder no one dared to approach this mountain.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Qingrong said: "Chen, all of you should rest here for a bit. I will be out for a bit, and will be back soon."

Xuanyuan Chen frowned, and asked doubtfully: "A Rong, what are you going out for?"

Xie Qingrong patted Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder and laughed: "You'll know when I get back."

Once Xie Qingrong went out, the atmosphere in the room turned cold. Shen Haoxuan shrugged, walked to the side and sat down, and started daydreaming. As for Xuanyuan Chen, he didn't know why Xie Qingrong was out there. He was a bit worried, but when he thought about how Xie Qingrong would always bring him a different kind of surprise, he relaxed.

She went out empty-handed and came back with some things and put them on the table.

Shen Haoxuan touched it curiously.

On the table, there was a fire piston, a dagger, a string, a blade, a silver needle, and so on.

Shen Haoxuan looked at these things with suspicion for a while, then turned to Xie Qingrong and asked: "Princess, what are these things used for?"

Xie Qingrong gave him a mysterious smile, but he did not hide anything, and continued to introduce them to him.

"This is a dagger, slicing through metal like mud."

Xuanyuan Chen held the dagger and pulled out a strand of hair from Shen Haoxuan's head and placed it on the dagger. With a blow of the dagger, the strand of hair broke into two.

His eyes revealed a hint of admiration, but Shen Haoxuan hugged his head as he looked at Xuanyuan Chen with a bit of grief.

He grumbled, "Your Royal Highness, why do you want to test if the dagger is sharp or not? Why did you pull out my hair?"

Xuanyuan Chen coldly glanced at him, and Shen Haoxuan immediately tucked his tail in, making a silencing motion.

"A Rong, didn't you hide a dagger in your boots? Why did you prepare for another one?" Xuanyuan Chen asked somewhat puzzled.

He gave the dagger to Black Turtle, but never expected that Black Turtle would give the dagger to Xie Qingrong on the first day he bestowed it to him.

Xie Qingrong laughed: Chen, this dagger is for you. Although your inner force is extremely profound and your martial arts are extraordinary, but you have a dagger which you can use in case of an emergency.

Shen Haoxuan looked at the dagger in Xuanyuan Chen's hand with envy and asked grievance, "Esteemed wangfei, why don't I have a dagger?"

Xie Qingrong did not answer Shen Haoxuan's question but merely asked him to take out the tasseled fan. Although Shen Haoxuan did not understand, he still obediently handed the fan over to Xie Qingrong.

She placed the silver needles into the few small holes of the tasseled fan. Ever since she saw the battle between Shen Haoxuan and the last time, she had already known clearly what kind of weapon was more suitable for Shen Haoxuan.

As expected, Shen Haoxuan lovingly held the tasseled fan in his hands and caressed it.

Seeing that, Xuanyuan Chen scoffed in disdain.

Xie Qingrong looked at Shen Haoxuan's extremely fond look, smiled, and explained: "I feel that no weapon can compare to the fan in your hand, so I put the silver needle in your fan. With your intelligence, you must have already understood my intentions."

Shen Haoxuan cupped his fists towards Xie Qingrong respectfully and sincerely thanked him.

Of course he understood the usage of the silver needles in the fan, and he was even more grateful to Xie Qingrong.

When Xie Qingrong finished explaining all these to them, it was already noon.

After tidying up all the items on the table, Xuanyuan Chen said: "Let's go to Misty Mountain."

The three of them rode their horses towards the city gate.

She saw a familiar back figure at the city gates. That person was riding a horse, and the sunlight was shining on her. She seemed to be emitting a warm glow.

Her long black hair was tied up high in the air, only using a jade crown to pin her hair in place. She wore a simple set of clothes, as if she knew Xuanyuan Chen and the other two's goal, and wore this set of clothes.

When Shen Haoxuan saw the familiar figure at the city gate, his eyes unconsciously widened and revealed a look of disbelief.

Shang Zhiqing turned her body slightly to the side and turned half a head to reveal her exquisite and perfect profile and jaw.

He smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Shen Haoxuan muttered: "Long time no see."

Then, he pinched the palm of his hand, concealing his appearance and reverting back to his indifferent look. It was as if the man who had lost his composure was not him.

Xie Qingrong rode on her horse and came to Shang Zhiqing's left side. She tilted her head and suggested with a smile: "Together?"

Shang Zhiqing also returned a smile, and replied: "Okay."
