Chapter 1384 He's a coward

"Should I continue following them?"

"No need, no one can stop her if she wants to leave." Xie Zheng picked up the yellow jade beads, his brows furrowed. "It's time to close the net tonight, proceed according to the original plan."

"yes!"

"My lord, the new emperor has summoned Lord Wang to the palace." At this moment, a second person, as light as a sparrow, landed gently in front of him and knelt on one knee.

"Oh?" He smiled, a half-smile playing on his lips. "You all go and keep an eye on things. I'll go into the palace myself and take a look."

If the new emperor is disobedient, then replace him with an obedient one.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who sits on this precarious throne.

If you're too good at causing trouble and playing the emperor like a child, then get lost.

"Master, I understand that Wuyou can dispel evil spirits, but why can you do it too?" Qi Yun wondered. "Even great immortals find it difficult to dispel them; the process is very complicated."

Song Chunxue was also puzzled, "Is it because your skills are not good enough?"

"..." Well, he wasn't surprised no matter how unbelievable what happened to his master was.

They quietly passed through the city gate and wandered around outside the city like night ghosts.

The moonlight is poor tonight; the crescent moon is dim, but thankfully they are not afraid of the dark.

But to his utter surprise, Song Chunxue wandered aimlessly in the dark for an hour after she left.

Qi Yun's stamina was failing, and he hadn't walked like this for many years, but he insisted on coming along, so even though he had a lot to say, he held back.

Finally, just when his legs were so sore he wanted to give up, Song Chunxue found a place to sit down.

"Master, shall we find a place to rest?"

“This place is nice, suitable for meditation. It’s almost dawn, and I don’t want to stay at an inn. We can talk about it tomorrow.” Song Chunxue raised her eyes calmly. “If you are tired, you can find any inn to rest at.”

"..." If he rests and then wakes up to find no one there, where will he go to cry?

Fine, he plopped down on a stone stool on the ground and tried to meditate like her.

Song Chunxue was used to it; once she sat down, she was as steady as a mountain.

But Qi Yun was used to being lazy and free, and he couldn't stand this. It was like there was a cactus under his butt. He would twitch his ears, scratch his forehead, and then complain that it was too uncomfortable, so he took out a soft cushion from his storage ring.

“If you can’t sit still, then stay away from me. You’re making a rustling noise like a mouse.” Song Chunxue frowned. “Are your hemorrhoids itchy? If it’s uncomfortable, I have a secret remedy. Don’t be afraid to see a doctor.”

"..." What are hemorrhoids? Why did he get them?

Master, don't push your luck!

But he was a coward and didn't dare to talk back.

That's so frustrating.

Over the years, he had made a name for himself in Beijing, with connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, but he was incredibly timid around his master.

Forget it, it's his own fault for insisting on following her like a brat.

He had no fondness for that kind of aimless, monotonous existence that lasted for ten years.

As dawn broke, the chill gradually faded, and the rising sun shone with warm light, making people feel lazy.

Before he knew it, Qi Yun had fallen asleep and was woken up by Song Chunxue.

"Isn't it sunny? Let's go down the mountain to buy some food. I want to buy some new clothes. It's really good to be a man. These clothes fit perfectly and are sturdy."

Qi Yun suddenly sat up. "Hmm?"

"Oh," he rubbed his eyes, pondering what she had just said, "then I'll treat Master to noodle soup... oh dear!"

The dazed person didn't sit properly and fell off the tree stump, getting stuck upside down in the dead leaves.

Fortunately, the fallen leaves, which no one had swept, were layered thick enough to protect the plant from damage.

"Your disciple is rather foolish; he's not as good as Changyun," Wuyou said coolly.

I will not argue.

Arriving in an unknown town, the weather was sunny and breezy. Most of the pedestrians on the street were busy farming and herding sheep, with few people leisurely spending their days.
