Qi Huang didn't want to think about it anymore.

But at this moment, Mo Yunhan's figure appeared so clearly in his mind.

As if it had been engraved.

After a long silence,

She spoke softly.

"He will."

Chi Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Sheng, that's great!"

Mo Yunhan continued to look at Qi Huang.

A sense of curiosity arose in his heart.

This woman clearly disliked him when she saw him.

"Are you very familiar with the Regent? Why are you so sure? Aren't there rumors that the Regent is a ruthless killer?"

Qi Huang was still lost in his own thoughts.

Hearing this, she smiled gently.

“He is not. He is the best man in the world. In his heart, his country is the most important. Whether he is fighting on the battlefield or guarding the capital, he intimidates the wicked and hides the softest heart.”

Mo Yunhan's heart was gripped tightly.

He stared at her, shocked and suspicious.

He had only met this alchemist, Feng Jiu, twice.

Once at the imperial palace, once at Cai's hometown.

Neither was pleasant.

It's like I've known this person for a long time.

Chi Wen was overjoyed.

The crisp sound broke the eerie atmosphere inside the carriage.

“My father also said that with the Ninth Prince as regent, the Great Zhou Dynasty will surely be reborn. He also said that if the regent were to become emperor, the Great Zhou Dynasty would not be in its current state…”

"Wenwen!"

Hu Sheng hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Don't say that."

Chi Wen didn't care.

Pull his hand down and hold it.

"My sister and this chivalrous man are both our saviors. Moreover, this chivalrous man clearly heard about the talent show just now, yet he was still willing to travel with us. He truly deserves the title of chivalrous. People in the martial arts world value this principle the most. I heard the storyteller say so."

Hu Sheng was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Their interaction brought Qi Huang back to reality.

She suppressed her emotions and refused to say anything more.

Once they reach Cloudsea City, they will part ways.

She leaned closer to the car and picked up a book, clearly unwilling to speak again.

Mo Yunhan then asked,

"Judging from your high praise of the Regent just now, you must have known him for a long time."

Qi Huang raised her eyes.

Beautiful, glass-like eyes concealed a blade brimming with murderous intent.

"none of your business!"

Mo Yunhan choked.

Chi Wen burst out laughing.

She covered her face with her hands, as if she had seen something embarrassing, but her big eyes darted back and forth between Qi Huang and Mo Yunhan.

Qi Huang couldn't stand her.

What are you going to say now?

Chi Wen chuckled.

"Sister, I was just thinking about a play I read before, where a chivalrous man met a young lady, saved her life, and then offered himself in gratitude..."

"Her? That's really unnecessary."

"Him? That's unnecessary."

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

This made Chi Wen cover her mouth and laugh.

"You two have such great chemistry."

Qi Huang was so angry that she kicked him.

The two were not far apart, and the kick landed squarely on Mo Yunhan's shin.

"If you dare to mimic my speech again, I'll poison you until you're mute."

Mo Yunhan stared blankly down at his calves.

Only Jiang Qingwan had ever done this to him.

Even the force used was almost exactly the same.

His mind suddenly felt confused.

He felt once again that the woman in front of him, with a veil and eyes just like Jiang Qingwan's, was his Wan'er.

This feeling is very bad.

He said nothing, lifted the curtain, and went out.

Qi Huang thought he would leave.

Unexpectedly, he sat on the carriage shaft, holding his sword, his back straight as a pine tree.

From her perspective, she actually bears a striking resemblance to Mo Yunhan.

Qi Huang quickly shook her head.

He forcefully banished that thought.

Chi Wen thought she had gone too far with her words.

Apologize immediately.

She had barely called out "sister" when Qi Huang glared at her.

"You shut up too, or get out of the carriage."

Chi Wen could tell that she was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, so she obediently said "Oh" and leaned on Hu Sheng's shoulder to keep quiet.

Qi Huang picked up the book, but couldn't read a single word.

His gaze once again fell upon the silhouette reflected in the carriage curtain.

This person appeared at the Yishui Town branch, but now he's on the only road to Yunhai City.

It seems it's all for the Seven-Colored Phoenix Grass.

If we could make use of him...

My thoughts came to an abrupt halt.

Qi Huang immediately rejected the idea herself.

You must never have any contact with him again.

They remained silent the whole way.

By the time they arrived in Yunhai City, it was nearly evening.

The enormous setting sun dyed half the sky red.

The sunset bathed the entire street in a golden glow.

The Free and Unfettered Sword Sect was holding a martial arts tournament to find a husband, which attracted many visitors from outside the area.

Yunhai City was more lively than usual.

The carriage soon stopped at the back door of Tiansheng Restaurant.

Hu Sheng helped Chi Wen out of the car.

He bowed respectfully to Qi Huang and Mo Yunhan.

"Thank you both for your righteous help in rescuing us from this predicament. I bought this restaurant a few years ago when I was traveling around, and no one knows that it is my property, so it will not cause any trouble. It is getting late now, so why don't you two stay at my restaurant?"

Qi Huang shook her head.

"Let him stay here, I have other important matters to attend to."

Just then, two locals passed by the alleyway, fanning themselves with paper fans.

"The Free and Unfettered Sword Sect is truly captivating; it certainly lives up to its reputation as the number one sword sect in the world. All the restaurants on the five or six streets around here are packed. We'll have to wait in line for ages to get a drink."

"This is a tremendous opportunity, and all those martial artists are putting in their best effort. Even if they can't become a son-in-law, if they can be noticed by the leaders of the Sword Sect and taken in as disciples, that would be a great stroke of luck. I heard that the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect has set up many thresholds for the selection process, and not many people can get an invitation to the inner circle."
