Uncle Pingnan suddenly pulled on the reins. He swore that he did not do it on purpose, but just realized that he had paid too much attention to the conversations inside the carriage, causing the carriage to leave the Ma Ji Town.

There was no helping it, who asked the conversation in the carriage to be so interesting. He had followed his young master for so many years, and this was the first time he heard his young master conversing with someone.

Uncle Pingnan was completely unaware of the sudden situation inside the carriage caused by his sudden brakes. The Uncle Pingnan was in the midst of sighing with emotion. Fortunately, he had discovered it early and had left the Ma Ji Town less than a mile away.

Inside the carriage, due to inertia, Shui Qingyan unhesitatingly jumped into the arms of Seventeen, who was sitting opposite to her. In order to stabilize her body, she could only use her two hands to support herself on the carriage's walls.

Smelling the faint fragrance on Shui Qingyan's hair, Seventeen's eyelashes slid down to an arc in the air, then slid up to an arc. Shui Qingyan's petite body was practically pressing against his chest, and he could clearly feel Shui Qingyan's bones; she was just too thin.

After the horse carriage stabilized, Shui Qingyan crawled out from Seventeen's embrace and let out a long sigh of relief, "The big wound at the back of the head has not healed yet, and the front head almost bumped into one. Luckily you sat opposite me, luckily, luckily."

Seeing Shui Qingyan's relieved look, Seventeen could not help but shake her head. If it was a princess, she would definitely take the opportunity to take advantage of him.

"Young Master, we've already left the Ma Ji Town realm for nearly a kilometer." In his opinion, pulling the Young Master out of Ma Ji Town was his work mistake.

"Yes." Seventeen gave a light grunt of assent, and then looked deeply into Shui Qingyan's eyes, as she said with a slight smile. "This is the only place Seventeen can send you, Miss, please take care."

"Yes." Shui Qingyan also laughed and nodded: "See you later."

Seventeen looked at Shui Qingyan's curved eyes that were smiling so happily, she got off the car.

"I'll be troubling Uncle Pingnan on the way." As Shui Qingyan sat in the carriage, he could hear the Seventeen's gentle voice.

The driver was a gray-clothed man. The man had a longsword at his waist and was wearing a conical bamboo hat. The hat covered the man's face.

This grey robed man was Liuyi, and there was no doubt that this carriage belonged to Chu Chen.

Inside the horse carriage, Phoenix Yaoling and Chu Chen were playing chess. The two of them did not say anything, but the two of them used their Qi to cover Shui Qingyan's horse carriage, so they were clear about what happened.

When Phoenix Yaoling heard Seventeen say "I'll be troubling you on the road", she could not help but look up at Chu Chen. "Are you going to let Shui Qingyan go just like that?"

"No." Chu Chen put down the black object in his hand.

After Phoenix Yaoling heard it, she picked up Bai Zi and started to think about where to place him, "What did you get Seventeen to do?"

"Leave them halfway to the capital." Chu Chen did not plan to hide it from Phoenix Yaoling.

"Why?" Phoenix Yaoling could not help but be confused.

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Because someone is looking for Shui Qingyan."

Phoenix Yaoling shook her head: "Seventeen has no reason to say anything. If he continues to stay here for a little longer, Shui Qingyan would probably be suspicious."

"If Seventeen only has that little bit of talent, then we don't need to plan for anything big." Chu Chen said unrestrainedly.

Sure enough, after Chu Chen finished speaking, something happened.

Shui Qingyan's carriage.

Seventeen looked at Uncle Pingnan who was raising his horsewhip and was about to swing it down and said, "Wait a moment."

Uncle Pingnan stopped the horsewhip that was about to fall.

In the carriage, Shui Qingyan raised her eyebrows.

Uncle Pingnan looked at Seventeen doubtfully, "Young Noble, is there something else?"

"Wait a moment." With that, the Seventeen turned around and left.

After a while, the Seventeen returned with a smile on his face. In his hand was a stick that was used to cut off the branches.

Uncle Pingnan opened his eyes wide, the Young Noble had actually prepared a stick for the blind woman in the carriage.

Seventeen smiled slightly. While taking Uncle Pingnan's hand, he wrote on his palm: I prepared a stick for little miss. When you get off the car, remember to give it to little miss.

After Seventeen finished speaking, he had finished writing.

Uncle Pingnan was startled at first, but after he recovered, he nodded: "I understand."

Seventeen smiled as he glanced at Uncle Pingnan. He wrote a few words on his palm:

Ten miles outside of the city, he got off.

Seventeen knew, Uncle Pingnan already understood.

"Thank you, Seventeen." Shui Qingyan didn't know anything about what was happening outside the carriage, but the innately sensitive her had a vague feeling that something was going to happen.

"Goodbye, Fourth Miss." Seventeen took a step back and made way for the carriage.

Hearing that, Shui Qingyan smiled slightly, Seventeen had called her 'Fourth Miss' and not 'Young Miss', which meant, Seventeen should already know her background.

"Goodbye." Shui Qingyan replied politely.

Uncle Pingnan raised his horsewhip and threw it down fiercely: "Go!"

The carriage gradually disappeared into the distance. Seventeen still stood there, with a smile on his face.

He still remembered the first time he saw her. It was a pair of black and white shards, vaguely filled with a deathly aura. They were clear and decisive, bright and ruthless.

He was looking forward to seeing her again. He was also curious about the environment that would result in her ruthless methods, strong heart, and exquisite wisdom.

The darkness of the night had completely obscured the carriage's shadow. Seventeen caressed his sleeves and smiled faintly as he felt the remaining silver taels.

Just as he was about to turn around, Seventeen saw the black figure in the distance. With just a glance, Seventeen recognized the carriage.

Seventeen raised his eyebrows slightly. From this distance, the people there should know the situation here like the back of their hand.

He had already finished what he needed to do, so the following matter had nothing to do with him. Thinking about this, the Seventeen tiptoed and flew towards the Qingfeng Stronghold.

After the carriage drove away, Shui Qingyan sat cross-legged, trying her best to recall the chant and mental cultivation method that her master had taught her. She had once thought that the mantra and mental cultivation method were all fake, and that she would not be able to get any results even if she worked hard. Now, it seemed that the mantra and mental cultivation method was the source of cultivating inner strength.

As Shui Qingyan regulated her breathing, she recalled that there was not a single sound on the road.

Time flew by quickly. After the carriage traveled for about four hours, they arrived at a place ten miles outside of the capital city. Just as Uncle Pingnan was thinking about an excuse to get Shui Qingyan and the others to get off the carriage, his ears twitched.

Shui Qingyan who was meditating suddenly climbed onto Yu Niang's body.

Yu Niang also frowned because of this change.

Shui Qingyan sat up, the Uncle Pingnan suddenly stopped the carriage, showing that something had happened.

"Miss, there are horses galloping towards us. There are at least twenty of them. Their auras are very fierce and they do not seem to be friendly." Uncle Pingnan's voice was calm, the young master should have known that he would meet someone in this place, but he was confused. The young master was obviously good to this young miss, why did he want to bring this young miss into a dangerous situation?

"Miss." Yu Niang slowly opened her eyes.

"Get out." Shui Qingyan decisively picked up two of the heads, then pulled the Yu Niang who had just woken up and jumped off the carriage. Her feelings were always so accurate. She always felt that something was going to happen tonight, and it still happened.

"Fourth Miss, you guys escape first. I'll drive them away." Uncle Pingnan was surprised by Shui Qingyan's reaction. Shouldn't ordinary ladies be scared to tears or panicking?

The Uncle Pingnan had already prepared to ask Shui Qingyan to get off the carriage, but he did not expect Shui Qingyan to actually jump off herself.

" Where is the staff that Seventeen has prepared? " After Shui Qingyan got off the car, she looked in the direction of the Uncle Pingnan.

" "It's here." Uncle Pingnan took the stick and gave it to Shui Qingyan.

"Thank you very much." Shui Qingyan reached out to take the rod, and just as Uncle Pingnan was about to retract his hand, he suddenly grabbed onto Uncle Pingnan's wrist.

Uncle Pingnan was slightly stunned.

Shui Qingyan touched Uncle Pingnan's cocoon covered palm and laughed: "Use your right hand for sword."

Uncle Pingnan was so shocked that his mouth was wide open.

As Shui Qingyan spoke, she traced along the Uncle Pingnan's palm and touched Uncle Pingnan's wrist, and then, she touched Uncle Pingnan's arm. "The Qingfeng Stronghold is indeed different.

After hearing what Shui Qingyan had said, Uncle Pingnan's cheeks suddenly turned red.

If Shui Qingyan did not get off the carriage, they might have let the Fourth Miss go on account of their Qingfeng Stronghold, but...

Furthermore, the Uncle Pingnan knew that the Young Noble must have done something intentionally. The Young Noble and he had cheated the Fourth Miss so much, but the Fourth Miss was worried for his safety after Shui Qingyan got off the car.

At this moment, looking at Shui Qingyan's curvy up smile, he suddenly felt full of shame.

Yu Niang rubbed her eyes, after confirming that the young miss had touched Uncle Pingnan's body, she suddenly slapped Shui Qingyan's hand down, "Young miss!" In the eyes of the Yu Niang, as a young miss, Shui Qingyan could not come into contact with any strange man, and even more so, could not contact with any lowly coachman.

Shui Qingyan did not say anything, but smiled towards the carriage driver: "Keeping your life is most important, I hope that the next time you go to Qingfeng Stronghold, you can still give it to me."

Uncle Pingnan's eyes flashed, relying on his judgement, if those people were to attack Shui Qingyan, he would die.

Looking at Shui Qingyan's smiling eyes, Uncle Pingnan opened his mouth but did not say anything.

To Uncle Pingnan, the young master's interests were the greatest.
