Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
“You’re going to the Divine Wood Sect? That’s such a coincidence, I was just planning to return to Qingling City. If you don’t mind, you can come with us,” Bai Muxue said.
"this……"
Night Breeze did not immediately agree.
Sun Muqing said in a low voice, "Since Bai Muxue has invited us, let's go with her and have her be our guide."
"Aren't you afraid that Bai Muxue might have some evil intentions?" Ye Feng chuckled.
"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, with you here, even if Bai Muxue really has bad intentions, she can't do anything to us," Sun Muqing said nonchalantly.
“Yes, yes, I think so too.” Jiang Lingxuan nodded in agreement.
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan really trust me.
Ye Feng found it quite amusing, but what Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan said was indeed true.
Anyway, with me here, I'm not afraid of Bai Muxue playing tricks.
If she doesn't have any bad intentions, then fine. But if she does have evil thoughts, then I'll just teach her a lesson on how to behave!
Thinking of this, Ye Feng no longer hesitated and nodded, saying, "Since Miss Bai has said so, we can't refuse your kind offer. Let's set off for Qingling City together."
Bai Muxue nodded in satisfaction.
The martial artists who had just been sent out to search have now returned.
The leading martial artist said to Bai Muxue, "Miss, we didn't find anything. But judging from the situation here, it must have been some enormous thing that fell from the sky, which is why it made that deafening crash. The trees here were all broken by that thing that fell from the sky."
"It seems we're a step too late; the things that fell here have already been picked up," Bai Muxue said, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Ye Feng, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan.
Bai Muxue then said to Ye Feng, "Since there's nothing here, let's not waste any more time. Mr. Ye, ladies, shall we set off now?"
"Alright."
Night Breeze nodded and said.
Ye Feng, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan followed Bai Muxue and the dozen or so martial artists away from the hills.
Before long, they saw a convoy parked on a small path in the mountains.
This train convoy definitely belongs to Bai Muxue. There are more martial artists left here, at least thirty or forty. However, the martial artists guarding the convoy are much weaker than the dozen or so martial artists following Bai Muxue.
Bai Muxue herself was at the late stage of the True Yuan Realm, while the dozen or so martial artists following her ranged from the late stage of the Separation and Union Realm to the early stage of the True Yuan Realm. The martial artists guarding the caravan here were mostly at the early stage of the Separation and Union Realm.
"You can use the last carriage. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll try my best to accommodate you," Bai Muxue said.
Thank you.
Ye Feng thanked them and then boarded the carriage with the two women.
After Bai Muxue boarded the first carriage, the caravan set off again.
The maid in the carriage asked curiously, "Miss, why did you bring back three strangers after you left?"
“They are all martial artists who came to the White Jade Forest for training,” Bai Muxue said.
"What if they are bad people? Wouldn't you be inviting trouble into your home, Miss?" the maidservant said again.
Bai Muxue smiled and said, "Where are there so many bad people? Besides, we're not easy to bully, so we're not afraid of them being bad people."
"Since you've said so, Miss, then alright." The little maid nodded and stopped nagging.
Bai Muxue, however, had an idea and said to the maid, "Xiaoxue, take some food over there later, and while you're at it, chat with them to try and find out what they're all about. I have a feeling those three are not simple people; they might be senior masters from the mortal world."
"Yes, Miss, I'll be right there." The maid, Xiaoxue, nodded with a smile.
On the last carriage.
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan lifted the curtains on the carriage window and peered out curiously.
"I didn't expect to encounter a caravan here, but this caravan doesn't seem like a merchant caravan," Sun Muqing said.
“Yes, it’s definitely not a caravan,” Night Wind said.
If it were a caravan, these wagons would definitely be fully loaded with goods.
However, when Ye Feng scanned the caravan with his divine sense, he discovered that the first carriage in the caravan was for Bai Muxue's use, while the other carriages were all empty.
Only the second carriage carried some food and water.
This is enough to prove that this caravan was not a merchant caravan.
"I've almost finished repairing the Lightning Shuttle. We can reach Qingmu Mountain of the Divine Wood Sect in a day or two at most using it. If we follow the caravan now, it will probably take ten days to half a month to get to Qingmu Mountain," Ye Feng said.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Just treat it as sightseeing." Sun Muqing said with a smile.
Jiang Lingxuan nodded repeatedly, seemingly agreeing with Sun Muqing's words.
What could Ye Feng say? He could only nod with a wry smile.
Since there's plenty of time, let's just let Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan do as they please.
Ye Feng then sat cross-legged in the carriage, meditating and cultivating his inner energy to continue comprehending the Divine Wood Azure Sky Technique.
More than an hour later, a maid dressed in light pink came over carrying a food box.
The food box is mainly black with gold openwork patterns, making it look very exquisite.
"Who are you……"
Sun Muqing asked with a smile.
The young maid said in a clear voice, "My name is Xiaoxue, and I am Miss's personal maid. Miss asked me to bring this food over. This is my Miss's favorite peach blossom pastry. Please try it."
The maidservant placed the food box on the small table in front of Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan and opened the lid of the food box.
One by one, round little pastries were presented to Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.
A sweet fragrance filled the small carriage, clearly emanating from the box of peach blossom pastries.
"It smells so good, it smells like peach blossoms... Night Breeze, try some." Sun Muqing immediately picked up a peach blossom pastry and brought it to Night Breeze's lips.
"I'll do it myself."
Ye Feng took the peach blossom pastry from Sun Muqing and put it in his mouth to taste it.
Night Breeze wasn't just tasting the flavor; he was also checking if there was any poison in the peach blossom pastry.
After confirming that there was no poison in the peach blossom pastry, Ye Feng nodded and said, "It tastes very good, you should try it too."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan knew that there was indeed nothing wrong with the peach blossom pastry, so they ate it without worry.
While eating snacks, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan chatted and laughed with the little maid.
The maid was sent by Bai Muxue to extract information, but weren't Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan also trying to extract information from her?
