There was a deep mountain valley to the east of Huzhou and there was a gurgling stream flowing through it. On the two sides of the valley, there were dense forests that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Yang Qinyu carried the two wild rabbits as he made his way out of the forest. Upon seeing the clear stream water of the canyon, his eyes lit up and he immediately walked to the side of the stream, forcefully gulped down the flowing water twice, and then washed his face. He immediately felt that the fatigue from running and running for many days had lessened greatly, and he seemed to have become more spirited as well.
“Sizzle sizzle, miss. Look at this dumb goose washing its face and face. It is completely oblivious to the fact that it is all because of you, miss.” A chuckle and a hint of mockery came from the top of the stream.
Yang Qinyu picked up the two wild rabbits he had thrown beside him and strode in the direction of the sound. From afar, he heard a gentle voice: “Qingmei, don’t speak nonsense, Brother Yu has brought us out of the water prison and has been hiding from the Flying Sword Sect all these days. Furthermore, he’s even looking for food for us.
“Hmph, after all, my cultivation base is too low. If I were to exchange it for —”
It was probably because someone stopped him midway, but the voice suddenly stopped here.
At this time, Yang Qinyu quickly walked two steps forward, and finally saw the two girls, master and servant, behind a large boulder.
The female lead was dressed in a palace uniform with a waist. A layer of gauze covered the outside, accentuating her beautiful figure and giving heazy feeling.
The maid was dressed in red, and although she was short, her figure was a bit buxom. Her almond eyes were captivating, but her cherry lips were very thin, making her seem rather mean.
This master and servant pair were originally sitting at the side of the stream, kicking the water naked. When they saw Yang Qinyu walk over, they withdrew their legs from the water, and started to get up from the rocks they were sitting on.
Seeing the two girls, Yang Qinyu immediately revealed a smile and said: “Little Sister Chang, Miss Qingmei, I’m back.”
The red-clothed female called Qingmei pursed her lips and swept her gaze across the two rabbits in Yang Qinyu’s hands. A trace of contempt flashed past her eyes, but she didn’t say anything more.
The lady dressed in gauze was very polite. She smiled and said gently, “Brother Yu, thank you for your hard work.”
He did not know why, no matter how gentle the woman’s voice was, or how bland her smile, she would always feel a sense of alienation towards Yang Qinyu.
However, Yang Qinyu seemed to have a sense of taste, upon seeing the light muslin lady’s smile, he seemed to have become foolish.
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard!”
Yang Qinyu immediately shook his head, then shook the two rabbits in his hand: “After walking for an entire day, compared to Sister Chang and Lady Qing Mei, you are even hungrier. Wait a moment, I will roast some rabbit meat for you two, oh, right, are you sure you don’t see Qi Qi?”
As she spoke of “Qi Qi,” a trace of gentleness appeared on the veiled lady’s face, but the expression on the face of the woman called Qing Mei became even more complicated.
“Just now, he was playing by the stream. You fought witabbit for half a day and he got impatient. He probably went into the forest to look for you. Did you not see him when you came back?”
Qing Mei’s tone of voice when speaking to Yang Qinyu always carried a trace of an overbearing aura, as if she was going to blame for everything that had happened, no matter what Yang Qinyu did.
“Oh, alright then,” Yang Qinyu said as he put down the two rabbits in his hands. “Wait here for a moment, I’ll go find Qi Qi and find him.”
Yang Qinyu said with a smile, but in his heart he was clearly a little anxious, after putting down the thing in his hand, he quickly flew back into the forest.
Qing Mei’s grumbling voice came from behind. “Hey, come back quickly. We’ve been hungry all day —”
Feeling that he had already walked far away, Qingmei complained to Yun Chang, “It’s not just rabbit meat, it’s even a wild mountain rabbit. It’s fine even if we find two rabbit demons, at least there’s spirit energy nourishing the meat inside. Back then, when I followed Miss somewhere to eat these things and drink blood, it was even inferior to those ordinary demon beasts, what are we supposed to do?”
Yun Chang’s expression was indifferent as she continued, “You can’t blame him for this. Along the way, we’ve been hiding everywhere, fighting, cutting off the rear, escaping, taking care of me and the others. All of our responsibilities are to him alone.
Yun Chang’s words seemed to have some understanding towards Yang Qinyu, but in reality, her tone was very calm and rational. Even though she had seen Yang Qinyu’s actions along the way, she had not been the least bit moved.
“Hmph, I wonder what Sha mama actually took a fancy to him back then. With so many Flying School disciples entering the prison to train, and yet chose him, an honorary disciple as her disciple, I am truly sorry for my status as a Miss. Even if it was just an urgent matter at that time, wouldn’t it have been better for her to choose a direct disciple from the Flying School? Even if there was no escape in the future, with the great fortune of the Flying School, the direct disciple could potentially become a Dao Realm Great Divine Cultivator, and might even wield power in the sect, or even possibly advance to the Immortal Path. At that time, even if he was willing to become that person’s Dao companion, it would not be a disgrace for the young miss, but what about Yang Qinyu being just an honorary disciple? “Miss’s great body actually gave this piece of wood a free ride.”
Qing Mei couldn’t help but stick out her tongue, as if regretting bringing up such unpleasant memories of her young mistress.
As expected, Yun Chang’s expression slightly changed, but quickly returned to normal. “Perhaps Sha mama has her own considerations, then that Flying School’s direct disciple’s every move would also attract the attention of others, compared to that, an unknown honorary disciple would definitely not attract the attention of others, and the facts also proved that he did indeed bring us out of here.”
Qing Mei was still angry: “Even so, we should find someone as handsome as him. Even if he can’t compare to someone like the Young Master Qing, he shouldn’t be like that tall and sturdy Goose, who always has a simple and honest look on his face.
After hearing Qingmei mention “Young Master Qing,” Yun Chang’s originally calm and indifferent expression almost became untenable. In an instant, she seemed to have recalled something unbearable to look back at, as a look of confusion and pain flashed past her eyes.
“At least it can’t be considered as ugly, and he also did his best. On the way here, I also have to thank him for his sniping attacks chasing the enemy multiple times.” Yun Chang said honestly.
But unexpectedly, these words made Qing Mei even more speechless. She shouted loudly: “It’s fine if you don’t say it, but you are actually angry, after all, you are just a genius Spirit Demon King, although you cannot compare to a genius Spirit Demon King like Young Master Qing, but you are still not considered weak in the True Demon Realm right? But how did we get all the way here? Several times, it wasn’t that he forced back the pursuers, but those pursuers that fought him along the way. He was truly exhausted, and only when his Quintessential Essence was exhausted did he have no choice but to give up on the chase. Miss, do you think that there is such a wondrous person? ”
He then continued to mutter to himself, “If only Young Master Qing knew that young miss was imprisoned in the water prison, he would have brought many of his subordinates to rescue young miss. Then, he would have beaten the natives of Flying School until they cried for their mothers and fathers.”
When Qingmei mentioned the “Young Master Qing,” she always looked as if she was in high spirits, as if when the Young Master Qing made a move, she would be able to solve all their problems. However, she did not know, that whenever the “Young Master Qing” was mentioned, her young miss would look a little sad.
There are even many Sky Fox clansmen who say that after the possibility of the Young Master Qing being the Jade-Eyed Immortal Ancestral Founder, our Sky Fox clan will be the most likely to become the Seven-tailed Heavenly Fox. Only with the status and position of the Young Master Qing can we be worthy of the status as the princess of the Cloudy Fox Faction.
“I heard that the Young Master Qing had once disguised himself as a cultivator of the Confucian and entered a school to practice the Confucian arts. He easily became Han Lin, and many Confucian cultivators wanted to marry their daughter to him.”
“There are also rumors that the azure-eyed Immortal Ancestor once showed himself and tried to help him. He even gave him some pointers regarding cultivation!”
“I heard that the Young Master Qing is an extremely outstanding existence in the entire Spirit Demon race. Even the Sun Palace and the Four Great Constellations would try to rope him in.”
“—”
At this time, the chattering servant girl seemed to have realized her previous words, especially when she mentioned the ‘Young Master Qing’, she touched the weakest part of her young miss’s heart and quickly said: “Young miss, the Young Master Qing has always been pure and elegant, he will definitely understand the young miss’s difficulties, after he hears the news, he will definitely come to rescue young miss.”
Seeing that her young miss was still gloomy, Qing Mei’s expression changed, and she said: “Young miss, why don’t we leave now, taking advantage of him going to find Qi Qi, we will leave without saying a word. From today onwards, young miss will part from her past, it is like a nightmare, we will go to Young Master Qing together, at that time, even if you do not tell me, who will know of young miss’s past? Miss and Young Master Qing are still divine companions that the people of the Heavenly Fox clan admire! ”
Yun Chang had finally recovered from her self-pitying injury and hurriedly shook her head: “It’s not the time yet, we still need Brother Yu’s protection. But I have already left a secret signal with our Heavenly Fox Clan along the way, if anyone from our clan discovers us, we will inform Young Master Qing quickly.”
Just as the master and servant were planning something out for Yang Qinyu, on the other side, after going deeper into the forest for a distance, Yang Qinyu finally felt that something was amiss, and immediately stood still, a rhombus-shaped flying shield slowly rising up in front of him.
“Who is it? Come out!”
Yang Qinyu’s gaze fell upon a large tree several meters away, and simultaneously shouted.
