After the two finished talking, Twelve rode his horse to Mu Xiao's side.

"Xiaoxiao, aren't you afraid? We'll be in the capital in a month, and the young marquis still calls you 'uncle.' Aren't you afraid the marquis and the old lady will find out?"

Mu Xiao then belatedly realized that something was seriously wrong.

"Yes! I've almost gotten used to being called 'Young Master' by that name. You can't call me that anymore!"

He had barely finished speaking when he heard Mu Xiuyu's voice coming from inside the carriage.

"Uncle Twelfth, will you tell me a story again tonight?"

Twelve replied cheerfully, "Alright, Uncle Twelve will tell you the story of the young night watchman's valiant battle against the eighteen great thieves tonight!"

Mu Xiao was not only shocked by the absurd title of the story, but also frightened by the self-proclaimed number twelve.

"Twelve, you just asked me if I was scared, how come you agreed so readily?"

Twelve looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Are you stupid? Once we get back to the capital, we'll go back to the palace. From now on, we can only catch a glimpse of the young marquis when he enters the palace!"

Then, smugly, she added, "But you're different. You have to be by the young marquis's side all the time. Do you think the old lady will write to the marquis about hearing him call you 'uncle' every day? Will the marquis punish you?"

Mu Xiao scratched his head

"The Marquis treats his subordinates well and is unlikely to blame them!"

The 12th National Congress was a great shock.

"You, Mu Xiao, I never imagined you actually wanted to be the Marquis's brother! I never knew you had such a wolfish ambition! I like it, hahaha!"

Mu Xiao glanced at him as if he were an idiot, and then ignored the fool.

In the inn in Qiugui County, Doctor You interrupted the grandfather and grandson's daydreams.

"Pah! What nonsense are you thinking! Putting aside whether those Dark Dragon Guards can take good care of Xiaoyu, before my eldest son left, I repeatedly warned him, fearing that he might let Xiaoyu get poisoned again and lose his own life!"

He said it with considerable pride.

"I gave him most of the pills and taught him the family's traditional acupuncture technique. Luo Luo also prepared life-saving items for him. If anything still happens to him after all this, it would be an outrage!"

Qin Luo and Qin Ling were finally relieved after hearing what Doctor You said.

She then handed two bottles of calcium tablets to the two of them.

"Grandpa, Grandpa You, these are calcium tablets. They're good for your health. I noticed your bones were cracking whenever you moved, you must be calcium deficient. These will help a lot. Take one tablet in the morning and one at night, but don't take more!"

Qinling and Doctor You reached out and took it; Doctor You ate one.

Looking at the calcium tablets in the bottle with curiosity.

"This stuff from Lord Kang is really good; it not only cures illnesses but isn't bitter either. It's so small, swallowing it is no trouble at all!"

Qin Ling looked at Qin Luo with a proud expression.

"Our Luo girl is truly blessed. She was saved by Lord Shanjun, protected by Lord Dangkang, and now even Lord Shenshi has been awakened by her. She is truly an honor for our Qin clan!"

Qin Luo blushed with embarrassment at the praise.

"Hehe~ Maybe it's the ancestors' blessing!"

The Qinling Mountains seemed to awaken from a drunken stupor.

"Yes, yes, Luo Ya is right, it must be the ancestors' blessing!"

Just as he was thinking about getting to Weisi County as soon as possible

Qin Liang and Liu Zheng also came when the ancestral hall was built.

The couple immediately stepped forward to greet Qin Ling and Doctor You.

"Uncle, Doctor You, the innkeeper just came to tell us that the road to Weisi County is open, and he even refunded our entire room fee. He said the county magistrate and Master Qiu both said Luoluo is their great benefactor and they absolutely cannot accept a single penny from us. They argued for a long time but wouldn't accept it!"

After Qin Liang finished speaking, everyone looked at Qin Luo, who had no choice but to express his opinion.

"If Uncle the innkeeper won't accept the money, that's fine. Just leave him some water and food as payment when we leave. Now that the road is open, shall we set off tomorrow?"

Qinling thought for a moment

"Yes, we'll set off tomorrow. Our travel permits have an expiration date. If we can't settle down in Weisi County within the deadline, we'll all become refugees. Refugees who are caught will be enslaved!"

"Alright, I'll go and inform everyone right away!" Qin Liang went downstairs to inform the clansmen and villagers.

Liu Zheng asked after they finished speaking.

"What about the people outside? They haven't left yet! Hiding like this isn't a solution!"

Qin Luo pondered for a moment, then suddenly pointed in the direction of the large dormitory.

"Let the temple keeper go! Just say that the Divine Stone has just been awakened and needs the people to sincerely pray in front of the Divine Stone House. The temple keeper is a smooth talker and a master of persuasion!"

Qinling volunteered

"I'll go talk to him; it's easier for old men to communicate!" he said, and started walking out of the room.

"I'm going too!"

Doctor You followed closely behind, walking with Qinling towards the large dormitory.

The old man was twice as capable as the temple keeper; in no time, he had swindled all the people at the entrance away.

Qin Liang and Liu Zheng admired him greatly; they spent most of the day trying to persuade him until their lips were sore.

Not a single one left. The temple keeper went out for a few minutes and then left completely!

While things were peaceful on Qin Luo's side, Fan Xing and Xia Beinian were in for a headache.

People knelt before the sacred stone house, offering prayers one after another.

The noise was driving Fan Xing crazy, so she used telepathy to summon Zhan Yuankai.

sternly questioned

"What's wrong with these people today? Why are they disturbing the peace of the stone?"

Seeing that it seemed about to get angry, Zhan Yuankai hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

"Lord Shenshi, please calm your anger. These people had all gone to the inn. An old man said that you had just awakened and needed the people's prayers for you to help you recover faster, so the people..."

Something flashed through Fan Xing's mind, and she asked uncertainly.
