Upon closer inspection, Bai Lu seemed to have forgotten her injuries and began to unleash her killer potential, joining the melee.
Qiu Yan thought to herself, "This female assassin really has excellent physical abilities."
With Ling Qi and Bai Lu working together, the man was forced to retreat at every turn.
The man watched as Bai Lu's attacks seemed designed to kill him, and he was filled with rage. He parried one of Bai Lu's attacks and demanded, "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Lu staggered, feeling terrible from being sick.
She shook her dizzy head, trying to steady herself.
Ling Qi: "Bai Lu, the wounds on your body were inflicted by him."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's eyes turned fierce, and her moves became even more ruthless. However, due to excessive force, she fell to the ground.
"Bai Lu? You believe him?" The man lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped onto the roof, preparing to retreat first.
Ling Qi pulled Bai Lu up and leaped into the air to give chase.
Bai Lu's earlier actions aggravated her wounds, and because she was still recovering from a cold, she squatted down to rest.
...At the wonton shop, Qiu Yumei was pacing back and forth at the entrance.
When she saw Qiu Yan arrive, her face lit up with joy, but when she saw the hazy white dew behind Qiu Yan, her joy turned into panic.
She quickly came to Qiu Yan.
"Xiaoyan, what's going on with her? This woman was chasing after my eldest niece yesterday, how come she's so well-behaved today?"
Qiu Yumei was momentarily stunned.
"Aunt, don't be afraid." Qiu Yan whispered a few words in Qiu Yumei's ear. Qiu Yumei was startled for a moment, but she didn't ask any more questions.
"Xiaoyan, this woman is too dangerous. You should stay away from her."
"She's injured now, and her sword has been confiscated by Ling Qi, so she can't hurt me."
Despite Qiu Yan's words, Qiu Yumei felt tense whenever she thought of Bai Lu's murderous intent towards her yesterday.
"It's better to be careful."
She thought that if Baiyang was unsafe, Huaiyuan wasn't much better.
Today, Qiu Dafu and Xu Qing drove two horse-drawn carriages together and began to head towards Qingyun Town.
Those who went with her included Xu Qing's maid, her coachman, and Qiu Dafu's follower, Wu Erhu.
Upon arriving in Qingyun Town, with Xu Qing leading the way, Qiu Dafu and his group gradually drove to the side of Qingyun Town and then slowly headed towards a mountain path.
On the way, everyone disembarked from the carriage and walked along the narrow mountain path.
"Brother Qiu, I heard you're getting married to Miss Jiang, is that true?"
Qiu Dafu gave a soft "hmm," a faint smile on his face.
Beside him, Wu Erhu, who was following closely behind, also had a slight smile on his face. He was eagerly waiting to drink the wedding wine.
"Congratulations, Brother Qiu, on finding a good match. You two will surely grow old together." Brother Qiu and Miss Jiang's union was something Xu Qing never expected.
Although Xu Qing and Jiang Liu are ten years apart in age, they often went out together when they were young.
In Xu Qing's eyes, Jiang Liu has always been like an older sister.
"Thank you for your blessing." Qiu Dafu's smile was faint, but he couldn't suppress it.
Xu Qing was genuinely happy for Qiu Dafu, but she couldn't help feeling a bit regretful.
As they traveled further and further, they had already walked for nearly half an hour.
Qiu Dafu asked:
"Miss Xu, so much time has passed in Qingyun Town. May I ask where your maternal grandparents' home is?"
"We're almost there," Xu Qing said, pointing to the nearby mountains and forests.
Wu Erhu looked into the distance and murmured, "Could it be that they're repairing a cemetery?"
He was speaking very softly, but Qiu Dafu still heard him.
He slowed his pace. "Erhu, watch your words!"
Seeing Xu Qing's gaze, he awkwardly covered his mouth, "Sorry, Uncle Qiu, I misspoke."
