How preposterous!
Shen Qin clenched her teeth, the taste of blood in her mouth had not faded. She had always known that Grand Preceptor Pang was not a good person, but she had never thought that this old thing, who had experienced three dynasties before, would actually go sell his own country.
In the dark room, it was so quiet that even the wind blowing through the cracks could be heard. At that moment, only Shen Qin and the young man who had injured her earlier remained.
There were no waves in the man's eyes. He indifferently looked at him and said: "If you don't want to die then stay here peacefully. Don't worry about other things."
Shen Qin wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at the person in front of him. This person was not very old, he should be around the same age as her.
Shen Qin had no confidence in this person's martial arts, and didn't know how high he was, but she knew that under the Pavilion Master's personal training, her martial arts were not low either. To be injured by this person with just a single palm, meant that this person's martial arts was comparable to the Pavilion Master.
This kind of expert was actually willing to be part of a mission for someone like the Grand Preceptor Pang. Shen Qin was a little confused.
"You are a martial arts expert, are you really willing to follow Grand Preceptor Pang, this traitorous dog, to sell your country?"
The man's eyes flashed a little when Shen Qin asked him this question, but he did not pay attention to her.
"Every man with guts is unwilling to work for a traitor. Experts like you have many ways out, why do you need to follow the Grand Preceptor Pang."
The man's gaze swept coldly at her, his lips moved, but he still opened his mouth: "I am not from Easternum, whether or not Grand Preceptor Pang sells my country, has nothing to do with me."
"…"
Shen Qin was speechless.
The man's gaze did not shift away from Shen Qin's face, but after thinking about it, he said: "I did not expect you to find this place, you are truly capable."
Shen Qin did not plan to bother with him, and thought that he did not plan to let her go anyways.
Seeing that Shen Qin did not respond to him, the man did not plan to say anything, and walked to the side and sat down.
Although she knew that she wouldn't have the chance to escape from this person, she still said without any hope, "Can you let me go? If your tone is like the Grand Preceptor Pang, let me introduce you to someone else. After all, you need to be a helper, so finding a master is still better than finding a traitor like the Grand Preceptor Pang. "
"…"
The man looked at her with a mocking smile. "You should just stay here. Don't think about anything else."
Shen Qin couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, before sitting peacefully in a corner and not moving.
At this moment, his brows furrowed with worry.
I wonder what that old Grand Preceptor Pang fellow is planning this time, and what does he want the middle-aged man to do for him?
From the man's reaction, it was clear that the Grand Preceptor Pang's rotten idea would ruin a big matter for the Easternum.
Shen Qin looked at the man again and asked: "What did the Grand Preceptor Pang come here specifically to do for him?"
"I don't know."
"I've been locked up here, and you're still worried about me finding out?"
Shen Qin said snappily.
The man ignored her and walked away.
Shen Qin did not expect him to tell her, but seeing that he did not say anything, she did not ask.
At this time, Yan Yuan and the rest were rushing back to the Capital City from Miao Village. Along the way, Yan Yuan began to hear people discussing Liu Ruo Qing as the rebel of the previous dynasty, and now, because of the rebellion of the former dynasty, they were in a war and chaos. Some people with ulterior motives took advantage of the chaos to rob the people, thus, the matter of Crown Princess Jing being the rebel of the former dynasty, had a huge impact on the people.
Along the way, Yan Yuan's face remained calm, and no one dared to look at his face. Everyone knew how much this lord doted on his precious princess, how could they allow these commoners to insult and curse the Crown Princess Jing.
"Because of the war, it's hard to avoid feeling indignant. Don't take it to heart, let's eat first."
In the inn, Yan Xiao passed the chopsticks to Yan Yuan and advised him.
Yan Yuan's face was still rigid from beginning to end, and his entire person seemed to be somewhat agitated. There was even a hint of worry on his face, "Did the emperor lock Qing Er up?"
Yan Xiao's hands paused for a bit. Someone had already reported to him about Liu Ruo Qing being locked up in the marble temple, but, because of Yan Yuan's injuries, adding that this brat did not even care about his life, he was worried that he would rush to the capital city regardless of his injuries. That was why he did not tell, and did not expect him to take the initiative and ask him about it.
"Sixth Brother, you don't have to hide this from me. I've come all the way here, and these commoners all know about this. It's impossible for the Emperor to be indifferent and do nothing."
Yan Yuan said with a straight face, but at that moment, he already wished that he could fly to the capital.
Even if Kaiser did not want to punish Qing Er for her crimes right now, he knew that it would be useless if the Emperor wanted to protect Qing Er as long as the stubborn ministers were present.
Now, he regretted letting Liu Qian Xun go because he was still concerned that Liu Qian Xun was Qing Er's master. He didn't expect that old fogey wouldn't even let go of the disciple that she grew up with.
As Yan Xiao sat beside him, he could feel the rage coming from Yan Yuan's body, but other than comforting him, there was nothing else he could do.
"There are no movements related to Ruo Qing in the capital, which means, if Ruo Qing is currently locked up in the marble temple, perhaps it would be a good thing. Don't be anxious, you are still injured, if you fall down, even if you return to the capital, how will you be able to save her?"
Only by saying that, Yan Yuan was able to barely listen in. Even though he did not have much appetite, he still forced himself to swallow the food in the bowl.
"Is your injury still unable to be healed?"
Yan Xiao looked at the wound on Yan Yuan's chest. It had already been a few months, and there was still no way to heal it.
Now that Dong Dan was dead, she did not know if anyone could cure Ol 'Nine's poison, and the wound could not be healed for a long time. If it continued for long, they would die too due to the infection.
Yan Xiao's face was now filled with worry. When Yan Yuan heard him ask about his own injuries, his expression also became somewhat heavy, but he did not want to talk about it, so he indifferently said: "Let's talk about it after we return to the capital and ask the Mr. Lu."
"Mm, that's the only way."
At the table, other than the Yan Yuan brothers, there were also Nuo Lan and her two daughters. At this moment, they were not talking about anything with the two brothers, they were just quietly eating.
Xi Ya chewed on the food silently as she thoughtfully looked at Yan Yuan. At this moment, no one noticed what she was thinking about.
When he returned to his room after finishing his meal, she was also silently sitting on his bed in a daze. Duo Ya walked over and asked softly: "Elder sister, what are you thinking about?"
