After hearing Shangluo's words, Xue Qingyi just found it ridiculous!
Playing hard to get?
In his previous life, he cut open her body and dug out her sword bone, which not only severed her feelings for him, but also shattered her dream of becoming an expert in swordsmanship. How servile must she be now to play such a hard-to-get trick with him?
"It's really narcissistic!"
At this moment, she made this sarcastic comment, then turned and walked out of the alley, blending into the crowd, and soon disappeared.
A few days later, Xue Qingyi appeared in a caravan.
She took the Rejuvenating Pill to change her appearance, held a broken iron sword that can be found everywhere in the mortal world, dressed up as a female swordsman, took the caravan's carriage, and acted as a bodyguard to the capital.
We did encounter several bandits and robbers on the way.
However, this group of people were defeated by Xue Qingyi and became insignificant.
The journey back to Beijing, which is usually fraught with danger, became extremely safe with the addition of Xue Qingyi. She was gentle and peaceful, and her conversation was refreshing and not at all annoying. Therefore, not only did her companions have a good impression of her, but even the owner of the caravan became more respectful and fond of her.
When they reached the outskirts of Beijing, Xue Qingyi said goodbye to the shopkeeper.
Although the shopkeeper was reluctant to let her go, he believed that it was basically impossible for her to encounter any danger at this place. Besides, there were several other people who were good at martial arts in the caravan, so he was not afraid of any more accidents. So he said goodbye to her with peace of mind.
"Our caravan has its own business in the capital. Miss Su, if you need anything after you arrive in the capital, just bring this to me. I will do my best as long as I can!" Before leaving, the shopkeeper handed Xue Qingyi a token engraved with the name of his own business.
After Xue Qingyi joined the caravan, she called herself "Su Chi Xin" and everyone else called her "Miss Su".
At this time, when she saw the token, she did not refuse.
After all, when walking in the mortal world, having some connections may sometimes be of great convenience.
When I took it and looked at it, I saw a big word "Yuan" engraved on it, and four small words "Ruyi Chamber of Commerce" next to it. It looked like it was quite large.
She put away the token and thanked the shopkeeper.
Then, he left alone amid everyone's reluctant gazes.
The caravan continued to move forward.
Xue Qingyi found a place to meditate and rest, and only returned the same way when the caravan turned into a black dot and disappeared from her sight.
After walking for about an hour, she arrived at an inn she had passed by before and asked for a guest room, planning to rest for the night and then rent a horse from the inn tomorrow to go to the capital.
There are not many people at the post station.
It's only morning now and almost no one is staying here, making this place seem quite quiet.
However, it suddenly started to rain near dusk, and more and more people started to stay overnight.
Xue Qingyi had dinner in the lobby downstairs. She did not rush back to her room, but stopped under the eaves, admiring the falling raindrops while listening to several guests behind her talking about the various exciting things happening around the capital recently.
At this time, a gorgeous carriage stopped at the door of the post station.
A middle-aged coachman jumped out of the carriage first. He lifted the curtain diligently, and a little maid peeked out from inside. She jumped out of the carriage nimbly, then turned around and helped a delicate woman in white clothes out of the carriage.
Although the woman wore a veil that concealed her face, her every move revealed the gentle and graceful temperament of a lady from a noble family.
She must be in poor health, because she almost never stopped coughing during the short walk from the door to the lobby.
When passing by Xue Qingyi, a cool breeze blew by.
The white veil on the woman's veil was blown away by the wind, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, which was pale and weak, and had a melancholy expression that made people feel pity.
At this moment, the woman's eyes happened to look over here. She was slightly stunned when her eyes met Xue Qingyi's. Then she nodded slightly at her politely, greeted her with a gentle smile, and then her face was covered tightly by the hanging white veil again.
Then, the woman, supported by her maid, walked into the hall.
Xue Qingyi stared at her back, lost in thought.
Congenital deficiency!
Judging from the lifespan of ordinary people, this woman would probably not live past the age of twenty-five.
After sighing in her heart, Xue Qingyi withdrew her gaze and stopped paying attention.
During the night, the rain got heavier.
Xue Qingyi is entering into a state of meditation.
However, amidst the sound of the violent rainstorm, a panicked cry suddenly reached my ears: "Someone! Help! Someone is killing someone! Help! Miss! Miss!"
She frowned.
With a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, he found that it was the woman he had seen in the evening. She was stabbed in the chest and was lying in a pool of blood with a weak breath. A maid beside her was crying loudly, and the window of the room was wide open. It was obvious that the murderer had broken through the window after succeeding.
Xue Qingyi didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
But thinking back to the first time he had met this woman, he inexplicably developed a liking for her, as if God had intended for her to be involved in such mundane matters.
After waiting for a while, she sighed, then stood up and walked quickly along the corridor to the room.
The maid was startled when she saw her.
Then he said anxiously, as if he was desperate: "Lady, can you save my young lady? She was just stabbed by a masked man who suddenly broke in! But my young lady is still alive! Please save her!"
Xue Qingyi said nothing, but walked forward with a cold expression to feel the woman's breath.
Only a thread of breath can be felt.
The knife in her chest pierced her heart, causing her to bleed profusely.
This woman already had a very serious congenital deficiency, and now she can't survive!
Even though she had already made up her mind, Xue Qingyi still pulled out the dagger, applied golden medicine to stop the bleeding, and fed the woman a Huiyuan Pill, which could help the woman hold on for a short time, but this life... she was powerless to save it!
The heart of a mortal is inherently fragile. Once it suffers such damage, and there is no life-saving medicine like the top-grade recovery pill, one can only wait for death.
After a moment, the woman slowly opened her eyes.
"Miss! Miss, you're awake!" The maidservant on the side burst into tears of joy when she saw this, thinking that her young lady had been saved. She was so happy that she immediately kowtowed to Xue Qingyi to thank her for saving her young lady's life.
However, Xue Qingyi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.
"Your young lady only has a quarter of an hour left to live. After a quarter of an hour, she will die.
The maid's face suddenly turned as pale as paper!
"How could this happen? Miss... Miss, your life is so miserable!" The maid couldn't help crying again.
Xue Qingyi couldn't help but sigh when she saw this.
"Do you know who harmed you?" At this moment, she looked at the woman and said calmly, "I first met you today, and then ran into this incident. This can be regarded as a cause and effect between you and me. You can tell me your enemy, and I will definitely avenge you and end the cause and effect."
Although the woman was frail, it was clear that Xue Qingyi was not an ordinary person.
At this moment, she endured the pain from her wound, took a deep breath, and then said weakly: "My name is Yunrou, and I am the legitimate daughter of the original wife of Prince Yanping..."
