In an old house in the south of the city, in a dimly lit room.
The young man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. His right eye was no different from that of an ordinary person, but his left eye had a light blue color, like the sea.
He gently stroked a small mole on the back of his neck, as if sensing something.
A moment later, he picked up the eye mask from the bedside and covered his left eye.
The moment after he put on his blindfold.
"Bang"!
A woman with the figure of a young girl suddenly descended from the sky.
Qi Yu braced herself on the four corners of the wooden bed, held her breath, and looked at the man sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed beneath her with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
That was close!
She tiptoed off the bed.
Fortunately, the "Thousand-Mile Tracking" tool was used on this scholar surnamed Yi earlier.
The "Thousand-Mile Tracking" technique left a mark on the scholar surnamed Yi, and the "Instant Teleportation Talisman" locked onto this mark. When the jade piece was crushed, it could teleport her to the scholar's location.
This way, she could escape right under Li Daogu's nose.
The room was dimly lit. Qi Yu calmed her breathing and slowly repaired her injuries using the "Holy Mother's Halo".
The attack of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in a fit of rage is truly formidable. Fortunately, she had a backup plan, otherwise she might have really lost her life on the spot.
I just wonder how Gou Dan is doing now.
He was indeed, as she had guessed, related to the royal family of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, and might even be a descendant of the emperor left among the common people.
The crimson bird mark, poised to take flight, is probably a symbol of the activation of the Vermilion Bird bloodline.
With Zhu Que and Zhu Yu around, he should be safe.
"Tsk."
I almost forgot about Xiao Hei and Feng Xiao.
Qi Yu scratched her head. Probably no one knew that she kept a spirit pet in her room.
We still need to find a way to bring them out.
Her life is still tied to Feng Xiao.
"Fairy."
A gentle voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Holy crap!
Qi Yu trembled and quickly swallowed a pill.
Turning around again, the pretty young woman smiled sweetly at the young man.
I didn't expect this person to guess her identity so quickly. But then again, this old house in the south of the city is in a remote location and is inhabited by a group of beggars, so I don't think anyone would come here.
"You're too kind, young master." Qi Yu, who had almost choked on the disguise pill, smiled awkwardly but politely.
"My name is Yi Xiangfeng." The young man on the bed sat up. The room was so dark that his expression was not visible. "Has the fairy come to check if I have taken good care of everyone?"
Help! It sounds more like I'm being coerced by her!
Seemingly not expecting Qi Yu to answer his question, Yi Xiangfeng got up and lit the oil lamp by the bedside. The warm firelight illuminated his handsome and gentle face.
He looked up at Qi Yu and said, "Fairy, you seem to be injured. I have some medical knowledge, may I take a look at you?"
"It's nothing." Qi Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "To be honest, Young Master Yi, this should be the last time I visit everyone. I hope Brother Yi can help us out in the future."
Yi Xiangfeng raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What do you mean by that, Fairy?"
"I am but a cultivator, and I have been traveling in Wucheng for some time now. It is time to go out and see other places to broaden my mind." Qi Yu's thoughts changed quickly, and he made up a story as soon as he opened his mouth. "There are still many more people waiting for me to save. With Young Master Yi here, I can rest assured about the people of Wucheng."
With a gentle flick of her finger, a large pile of gleaming silver appeared on the table in the room. "Money is but an external thing, and I have no use for it. Here is a total of one thousand taels of silver, enough for Young Master Yi to lead everyone to a peaceful life. I hope Young Master Yi will not refuse and will accept it."
Yi Xiangfeng silently looked at the silver on the table for a while, then said, "Since the fairy trusts me so much, I naturally will not refuse."
Qi Yu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Young Master Yi. If I have the chance in the future, I will come to visit everyone."
She bowed respectfully and said, "Then, farewell, Young Master Yi."
"Wait." Yi Xiangfeng reached out and grabbed her wrist, then quickly withdrew his hand. "The children really want to see you. Won't you go see them, Fairy?"
Qi Yu lowered her eyes and smiled again, "No need. Knowing that they will live well in the future, I can rest assured."
Yi Xiangfeng sighed regretfully and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you. I wish you a smooth journey on your cultivation path."
"But..." he suddenly added, "I wandered to Wucheng a few days ago, and thanks to everyone's help, I didn't end up starving to death. Since everyone regards you as my benefactor, then you are also my benefactor..."
He took out a lustrous bead from his sleeve and handed it to Qi Yu, saying, "This is a family heirloom of mine. Carrying it with you will allow you to breathe freely in the water and avoid drowning."
Qi Yu paused, her outstretched hand. "Since it is a family heirloom of yours, how can I have the face to take it? You should keep it, young master."
“I am just an ordinary mortal, and this bead is useless to me. I would rather give it to you, Fairy. You are a cultivator, and you may find it useful.” Yi Xiangfeng stuffed the bead into Qi Yu’s hand without giving her any room to refuse. “Fairy, you are kind-hearted. I sincerely want to repay you, so please accept it.”
Qi Yu blinked. Now that things had come to this point, she stopped being coy, put the bead into her storage bag, and bowed to thank him, saying, "Thank you, young master."
"You're welcome."
After leaving Yi Xiangfeng's house, Qi Yu quickly climbed onto the roof.
She exhaled and rubbed her stiff, newly smiled face.
Several children were chasing and playing in the courtyard, and two or three elderly people were sunbathing. They were all wearing clean and tidy new clothes. If you didn't know, no one would have guessed that just a few days ago they were living a life of homelessness and uncertainty, begging for a living.
The girl's lips curled up slightly again, and a faint happiness filled her heart.
She took the bead out of her storage bag and examined it in the sunlight.
Wearing it allows you to breathe underwater, seemingly with the same function as the water-repelling bead that the system rewarded you with when you first came to this world.
However, the water-repelling bead provided by the system is a one-time use item; this bead should be of a higher grade.
It's easy to meet this person...
It feels a bit strange to just casually give away a family heirloom.
Perhaps he genuinely didn't need it and just wanted to repay a favor.
Just as Qi Yu was about to put away the water-repelling pearl, her waist belt was suddenly tugged, and she turned around in surprise.
A black puppy with a small white bird in its mouth appeared behind her, its eyes brimming with tears.
Little Black opened its beak and nestled the little white bird into Qi Yu's arms, then began to wail and cry:
"Master, why did you suddenly abandon me and run away? Waaaaah! Just now, several people rushed into the room and ransacked everything. Luckily, that Wu Qianqian brought me out, otherwise, Master, you'd be waiting to see me turned into wolf meat sandwiches! Waaaaah!"
