Chapter 215 - The Mystery of Hua Yurong

After staring blankly for a good while, Hong Zhong finally found a trace of her own voice. "Little Flower, I … Eh … Wait, I think I want some peace and quiet. I think you also need some silence! " Her current mind was in complete disarray, alright?

She didn't know why Hua Yurong said those words so impulsively, but she felt that the two of them needed time to calm down and understand what was going on.

When Hua Yurong saw Hong Zhong's distress, she chuckled lightly. She raised her arm, and her white, long, jade-like fingers gently caressed Hong Zhong's face: "I know that Xiao Zhonger is unable to accept this reality for a moment, and I won't force you, and I won't force you to definitely accept me. I just want to tell Xiao Zhonger about my feelings, that's all."

After all, he could not bear the reputation of Baili Mingyue's love rival, but Xiao Zhonger did not even know that he liked her!

"I …" Hong Zhong was stunned for a moment, and was already at a loss as to what to say. She only felt the warmth of the jade finger on her face, and subconsciously tilted her head, wanting to avoid that warm touch.

Seeing that, Hua Yurong chuckled again, and quickly retracted her hand, then she looked at the carriage: "Xiao Zhonger, we should leave, get on the carriage."

After that, without waiting for Hong Zhong to speak, she turned and mounted her horse.

… ….

The carriage was something Ling Yun had prepared.

Although it looked extremely ordinary on the outside, it was luxuriously decorated on the inside.

Other than the short table with snacks and tea, he also changed his original seat into a one meter wide soft couch.

At the moment, Hong Zhong was leaning on the soft couch, her heart a mess.

However, it was unknown whether it was because of the moon or because she didn't sleep last night, but after jolting around on the carriage for a while, she fell asleep in a daze.

Hua Yurong only woke him up in the afternoon.

Just then, they had already reached the place where she met Xiao Su's mother. When she had left earlier, she had left a message at the only inn in the town, telling Lv Luo and Mo Xi, who had followed closely behind, to stay and receive her.

Hua Yurong had already rushed to the Peach Forest last night. Then, Lv Luo and the rest should have already arrived at the town!

He got down from the carriage and saw the only inn in town.

Mo Xi was at the window on the second floor of the inn, calling for a few people to come up. Hong Zhong walked forward and realized that Mo Xi was the only one present. She couldn't help but ask with some suspicion, "Where is Lv Luo?" It was understandable that Wu Hen did not show himself since he was a secret guard, but why would Lv Luo, a close serving maid, not be there?

Hearing that, Mo Xi's face changed, there was helplessness in his tone: "Lv Luo has gone to advise Xiao Lie. We arrived here last night, and after we received the message you left for us, we went to find Xiao Lie. But Xiao Lie had been guarding his mother's grave and refused to leave, so Lv Luo had no choice but to stay there to accompany him. "

Hong Zhong nodded: "Let's go take a look."

Before long, the few of them had arrived at a barren mountain three kilometers away from the town. From afar, they saw Lv Luo standing next to a fresh mound of earth, and in front of the mound of earth, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old youngster was kneeling. He was Xiao Su's younger brother, Xiao Lie, without a doubt!

Hong Zhong quickly walked over and looked at him without saying a word.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Hong Zhong, waiting for her decision. Hong Zhong thought for a bit, but before she could speak, she saw Xiao Lie kowtow a few times towards his mother's grave, then stand up and look at Hong Zhong expressionlessly: "Hong Zhong, my mother said, she wants me to follow you, then in the future, I will be your person. Whatever you want me to do, I will do."

Hong Zhong looked at him, her eyes revealing a little guilt.

Although the Red House took care of them, they did not do well in the aftermath of the battle. That was the reason why Xiao Lie's mother died from a serious illness.

Hua Yurong did not know about the dispute between Hong Zhong and herself. Hearing Xiao Lie's words, he could not help but have a change of heart, and warmly said. "You are just a fourteen or fifteen year old boy, what can you do with Xiao Zhonger?"

Hua Yurong could be considered one of the top experts in the entire Navy Tide Continent, with a single glance, she could tell that Xiao Lie, this child, did not have any martial arts skills, or even … An ordinary gangster would still be able to beat him up, and for someone like him, even if she didn't approach Hong Zhong for a purpose, simply following Hong Zhong would be a burden.

Hearing that, Xiao Lie looked at Hua Yurong with an expressionless face. Then, he slowly raised his hand, and a piece of lustrous white glazed pessary shone with light in front of Hua Yurong. "Is he qualified to follow her?"

The moment Hua Yurong saw the glazed pessary, her beautiful face went blank for a moment.

This piece of glazed pessary was called 'spirit pulp glass', and was a relic left behind by Hua Yurong's mother. It was also the thing that Hua Yurong cared about the most in her life.

He had always worn it on his body.

Xiao Lie was actually able to easily take away the glazed pessary in front of everyone's eyes.

snatched the glazed pessary over, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Lie: "Brat, I'm warning you, you can do anything you want, but don't touch my glazed pessary. If there's a next time, I'll cripple your hand."

With that, he kept the glazed pessary and turned to leave.

Hong Zhong looked at Hua Yurong's back somewhat baffled. In her memories, Hua Yurong was always gentle like jade and extremely charming, but it was really strange for him to suddenly be this angry!

Could it be because of that glazed pessary?

Hong Zhong walked forward and patted Xiao Lie's shoulder: "Xiao Lie, don't mind Xiao Hua, this person, his mouth is always hard and his heart is always soft. I once promised your sister that I would take good care of both of you, but such a thing still happened. I am very sorry, but in the future, I will take care of you.

With that, she smiled at him and turned to leave.

Mo Xi also looked at Xiao Lie, and then turned and followed Hong Zhong.

Lv Luo was also an orphan since she was young, so she could understand how orphans feel. Thus, he kindly stepped forward and patted Xiao Lie's shoulders to comfort his, "Xiao Lie, let's go, don't worry about what happened just now. Flowery Young Master is a very good person, our Young Miss is a very good person.

Xiao Lie turned his head and looked unwillingly at his mother's grave, nodding to Lv Luo, and then followed Lv Luo and the others, heading towards Jinzhou City.

… ….

On the way, they walked for three days without any obstructions, and then arrived at Rollzhou.

There were two official roads here.

One was to the west, where he could reach the Jinzhou City, and the other was to the north, where he was to the Zhonghe City.

These few days, the weather was extremely hot, and they were on their way again, without even having time to wash up, because of the matters of the past few days, Hong Zhong felt that she was not feeling well, thus, Hua Yurong decided to stay at the Roll Region for two days to rest.

so that Hong Zhong could take a good care of him.

Night.

The moon was high in the sky.

Hong Zhong washed up properly, then let Lv Luo move the reclining chair over. Lying under the tree in the backyard of the inn, counting the stars to take advantage of the shade.

Ever since Hua Yurong had inexplicably said those words to Xiao Lie a few days ago, for some reason, these past few days, as if she had something on her mind, her expression became somewhat lonely as she rode her horse.

Xiao Lie had probably just experienced the pain of losing his mother, and hadn't spoken much for the past few days. Everyone ate, then slept in another carriage. Now that he had washed up, he was leaning on the big tree above Hong Zhong's head. imitating Hong Zhong's movements as he looked into the sky, his eyes at a loss and he was unable to see what he was thinking about.

As Hong Zhong waved her fan, she recalled everyone's feelings for the past few days, and wondered if she should take care of Hua Yurong. However, it seemed from his appearance that she was extremely unwilling to bring up the matter regarding him and that glazed pessary.

Just as he was in a trance, suddenly, a strange gust of wind mixed with the sound of something breaking through the air entered Hong Zhong's ears.

Reaching out with his hand, he found a piece of paper in his palm. Opening it, he saw a few large words written on it: "Herba Brassicae, bloom in five days, and one flower in ten years."

Hong Zhong frowned as she looked at the note, she suddenly came back to reality. Herba Brassicae, wasn't that one of the antidotes of the Ten Thousand Gu Cold Poison?

However, why would someone send such a message yet refuse to show themselves? Was this the truth, or was it a trap?

Hong Zhong didn't have time to ponder over the sequence of events. When she was watching the melodrama back then, she was told that this kind of person who wanted to send messages in secret was usually not a good person. If it was any other way, she wouldn't bother with it.

However, this matter was related to the Ten Thousand Gu Cold Poison, it was related to Baili Mingyue's body, she did not care about it at all.

Looking at the direction of the black figure's disappearing, he squinted his eyes, then looked towards Xiao Lie who was on the tree and shot a look, then activated his movement technique, quickly chasing after the black figure. As for Xiao Lie, the moment he and Hong Zhong saw each other, he understood what Hong Zhong meant. He quickly jumped down from the tree and ran over to look for Hua Yurong and the others for help.

… ….

Hong Zhong flew out and used all her strength to fly forward. She realized that the man in black was very skilled. Perhaps it was because of the incident with Yue, but in order to barely catch up to him, she had actually used all of her inner force.

However, he lost it when he got to a big yard.

A faint yellow light shone from the room, making the courtyard look even more hazy and mysterious.

Hong Zhong climbed up the wall and carefully examined the courtyard in front of him. She realised that this seemed to be an ordinary courtyard, but that black clothed man had disappeared from the wall here.

A vague sound of conversation came from inside the house, making it difficult for Hong Zhong to hear it clearly.

Although in Hong Zhong's heart, she also thought that eavesdropping was a very shameful action, she still carefully approached the room, trying to hear what the people inside were saying.

Upon hearing the voice, one could feel that the person speaking was very young, and his voice had a scholarly air to it.

Hong Zhong carefully laid on top of the window, wanting to hear what the person inside said clearly, but the person inside seemed to have felt that something was amiss, and actually did not speak anymore. Just when Hong Zhong was surprised, the window in front of him was suddenly opened.

Because Hong Zhong was lying on the window, when the window was opened, before she could even say a word, she lost her center of gravity. With a flip, she fell into the house.

In this world, who could be more stupid than her as a transcender?

The answer was — no!

Hong Zhong laid on the ground, and raised her head with great difficulty, and was immediately stunned.

From the outside, this room looked very ordinary, not much different from a wealthy merchant's courtyard. However, the interior of the house was decorated with gold and jade, looking magnificent.

No wonder she couldn't hear what the people inside were talking about. The people inside the house were at least ten meters away from the windows, and they were speaking in hushed tones. It would be strange if she could hear them clearly.

However, she didn't even have the time to experience the feeling after touching the ground. She was frightened by the pressure in the room and didn't dare to move. There was even a slight chill on her neck.

When she looked down, she saw a sword shining with a cold light on her neck. She vaguely felt as if she was going to be in close contact with her neck. Ye Zichen swept his gaze over the man with the sword and saw that he was also dressed in black.

However, Hong Zhong did not think that this person was the person she was following just now, because the bottom of this person's clothes was embroidered with an orchid with silver thread.

And the person Hong Zhong was following was completely black!

He moved his neck back a bit and said in a fawning voice, "Handsome, if there's a problem that can be solved with words, let's not make a move. Can I take your thing further away? It's very scary." As he spoke, his tone carried a hint of a sobbing tone.

"Mu Qi, don't scare the lady." From behind the bead curtain not far away, came a man's gentle voice. The man holding the sword against Hong Zhong's neck quickly withdrew her sword, stood at the side, and continued to look at Hong Zhong with an unfriendly expression.

Hong Zhong rubbed her neck with fear still lingering in her heart, her face was filled with fear, as though she was truly terrified. After which, Hong Zhong heard the man's voice that sounded like it was difficult to cover her laughter: "Miss, do not worry, Mu Qi has no ill intentions, can you get up on your own?"

"I'm fine." Hong Zhong did not care if the person could see or not, she smiled at him, then got up from the floor, acting as though she was patting the awkward face in front of her, then secretly observed the situation inside the house.

This room was especially large and gorgeous.

Other than the one called Mu Qi in front of him, there was another expressionless black clothed man. From the looks of it, his level was not higher than Mu Qi's.

As he was thinking, he heard the sound of wheels sliding. Raising his head, he discovered that the curtain in the room was being lifted by the expressionless man in black, and then another wave of wheels sliding.

Hong Zhong first realized that the person was actually sitting on a wheelchair and couldn't help but be curious. But when she saw the person's face clearly, her voice carried a trace of excitement and uncertainty: "Lin … Lin … "Lin …"

The man on the wheelchair was a little curious when he saw Hong Zhong's expression, but the person called Mu Qi was even more curious. He tilted his head and looked at Hong Zhong, and frowned slightly: "Miss, you know my master?" After asking this question, his right hand unconsciously placed the sword at his waist once again.

If she really knew Master, then she couldn't let him stay either!
