Feeling a bit sad, she let go of his hand and slowly laid down beside him.
The man's body was frighteningly cold. In addition to the fact that the weather had started to turn cold, her entire body wasn't feeling very good. However, she still didn't move away from him.
She pulled the covers over them, took his arm, and began to babble.
"If you don't want me to follow you, then I won't follow you. Anyway, when you use the Gu, it's so ugly that I don't really want to see it …" No matter what, you better not die. You still haven't given me and my letter of departure. If you die, I have to be your widow … I don't want to be a widow at all, so don't die... "
No matter how much she chattered, this man, who she hated to the point of gnashing her teeth, couldn't hear a single word.
He just laid there quietly. His entire body was ice-cold and devoid of any signs of life, like an exquisite statue, without any trace of the peerless elegance on General Xiao's body.
She couldn't help but wonder what the Nuwa Stone and the branch and leaf were. She wondered if they could be found, where they were going, and how they were to be found.
If he couldn't find it, would he really …
At the beginning of dawn, voices faintly came from outside the door.
The person beside him was too cold. Qu Ling did not dare to sleep too deeply, and was easily woken up.
She drowsily sat up and raised her voice. "Who is it?"
The voice of the Xiao Er came in from outside the door, "Madam, Miss Gu requests an audience."
Qu Ling was startled for a moment, and then suddenly recalled that she picked up such a person the night before yesterday.
She looked at the man beside her, then gently lifted off the bed.
When he opened the door, he saw Gu Xi kneeling on the ground with a pale face and a bloodless face. He looked like he would fall if the wind blew on him.
Qu Ling closed the door and looked at Xiao Er with an inquiring gaze.
Xiao Er shook his head, indicating that he himself didn't know what was going on.
Qu Ling did not ask anymore, and went forward to help the person up, "It's cold outside, Miss Gu's injuries are still not fully healed, if you have anything to say, you should go back to your room first."
Gu Xi nodded slightly.
Qu Ling supported her into the room, and just as his butt touched the chair, he saw the girl kneel down in front of her.
With a helpless expression, she asked, "What does Miss mean by this?"
Gu Xi lowered his head and said softly: "Madam, please take this little girl in."
Qu Ling was stunned, "You're not going to look for your brother anymore?"
Gu Xi shook his head lightly, "I've been looking for you for almost two months. I've traveled almost all the way to the southwest. This small town is the last town."
She paused, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "Perhaps you and I are not in this world anymore, or perhaps we are not fated to meet by fate. If we continue to search, we will only be placing ourselves in a dangerous place again."
Qu Ling chuckled, "You are quite thorough."
Gu Xi kowtowed, "Madam, I am unable to repay you for saving my life. I am willing to serve you as a servant."
Qu Ling's gaze swept across the girl's slender white hands, and asked with a smile that was not a smile: "Miss shouldn't have done rough work before, how would you know how to serve others?"
The woman's face looked embarrassed. After a while, she said: "My family was not too shabby. In order for me to marry a good family in the future, mother had been pampering Gu Xi. Gu Xi is indeed … If Madame is willing to accept me, I am willing to learn. "
Qu Ling wanted to continue asking, but she suddenly swayed, and in the next moment, she collapsed onto the ground, fainting.
Qu Ling, "..."
No matter what, he had to take responsibility for those he picked up.
Qu Ling went out and called for a soldier to bring the girl back to the bed.
When the soldier left, just as Qu Ling was about to look for Qu Ci, Xiao Er suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her path.
He took out a letter and a short flute from his bosom, and offered them to Qu Ling with both hands. She told me to tell Madame not to worry about her, that she would come to you when she was done. "
This short flute was the same flute that Qu Ci used to massacre at the Chi You Divine Palace.
Qu Ling's eyes reddened. He received the letter and the flute and gripped them tightly in his hands.
After a long while, she said hoarsely, "Tell someone to find a doctor."
Xiao Er replied.
Qu Ling stood in place, tightly holding onto the letter and flute. He had to endure and endure for a while before he managed to force the tears that were about to spill out from his eyes back.
Even if they had prepared for this, leaving would still make them sad.
The last time they parted was five years of time.
This time, he didn't know when he would be able to see her again.
"What are you thinking about?"
A low, familiar male voice rang out. When her back landed in a warm embrace, a presence that belonged solely to someone seemed to surge over from all directions, tightly wrapping around her.
Qu Ling was startled, she turned to look at the man behind her, "Why are you awake so early?"
Didn't I need to sleep for six hours?
"Thanks to grandma's help."
Xiao Jingyue did not explain any further. He instructed Xiao Yi who was standing to the side: "Pass down the order. After the breakfast, immediately pack up and set off!"
"Yes sir!"
After answering, Xiao Yan hesitated and didn't move. He quickly raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jingyue.
Qu Ling saw that Xiao Yi wanted to talk to Xiao Jingyue, so he kept the letter and the flute back. He tactfully said: "I will go and find something to eat first.
Living a new life again, she didn't want to live a life that was too complicated. What she didn't know was that it was better not to know, and it was better not to add to her worries.
Even if it was because of Xiao Jingyue, she was already annoyed enough.
During breakfast, Qu Ling told Ah Xin about his grandma's departure.
Ah Xin was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to open his mouth, a "bang" sound suddenly came from upstairs.
The two of them were both shocked as they looked up the stairs.
Xiao Jingyue came down from upstairs with a gloomy face. He quickly walked in front of Qu Ling and sized her up.
Seeing that she was fine, he started to worry about the hidden poison in her body. He bent down and grabbed her shoulder, asking in a deep voice, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Qu Ling looked at the man in front of him in a daze, and was unable to react for a moment.
Ah Xin, who was seated beside her, was also startled by Xiao Jingyue's sudden action, and stared blankly at her while biting her chopsticks.
Xiao Jingyue frowned slightly, "Speak!"
Qu Ling exclaimed, he stuffed the food that was already in midair into his mouth and chewed it before slowly saying: "My stomach is indeed not feeling well."
Xiao Jingyue's face changed slightly, but just as she was about to speak, she heard her say in distress, "So hungry."
Xiao Jingyue, "..."
Other than Ah Xin who could not understand Chinese, the other soldiers and Dark Guard s with sharp ears all turned their heads to another direction, raising their shoulders and forcing themselves not to laugh out loud.
The inn was deathly silent.
Xiao Jingyue stared at the innocent looking girl, his expression changing again and again, extremely terrifying.
