The junior sister and Song Yuxi had a very pleasant chat.
There are so many things I want to say to Song Yuxi.
The adventure in Hidden Valley, the thrill of fighting the Flower King and the Queen Bee, and the rewards gained after the adventure.
The junior sister even used the dance skill of the Hundred Flowers Ring to demonstrate its magical abilities to Song Yuxi.
When Song Yuxi saw this, she was filled with envy.
"I really envy my junior sister for having so many life-and-death experiences with her senior brother. I feel so sad that I couldn't participate. This time, because of family troubles, I have to trouble my senior brother and senior sister to come from afar. I really feel guilty."
Song Yuxi's words were so sensible.
It's truly heartbreaking to hear about her.
The junior sister was also very understanding. After hearing Song Yuxi's words, she didn't reply herself. She felt it would be more appropriate for Ye Liang to reply, so she gave Ye Liang the messenger to communicate with Song Yuxi and asked him to reply.
This way, we can better comfort Song Yuxi.
She was better at comforting people than she was.
Ye Liang smiled, knowing that his performance would certainly not disappoint his junior sister.
Ye Liang smiled and unfurled the scroll of the messenger bird, sending a message to Song Yuxi.
“Yuxi, we’ll be in Songcheng in a few days. Stay home and wait for us. Even if something terrible happens that you can’t handle, don’t worry. Your senior brother will take care of everything when he gets there.”
How touching those words are!
A simple "I'll take care of it for you" is worth more than a thousand words!
Upon receiving Ye Liang's letter, Song Yuxi replied with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Senior Brother. Senior Brother, please take care on your journey. You will be exposed to the elements and must take good care of yourselves. When you arrive in Songcheng, Grandma and I will personally go out of the city to welcome you from ten miles away."
They came to greet us from ten miles outside the city. Ten miles is a very important distance, so this is a very special courtesy.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liang smiled and comforted her, saying, "Okay. From now on, we'll communicate every day, and I'll keep you updated on our itinerary. Now, let's continue our journey."
"Yes, Senior Brother. Please take good care of yourself, Senior Sister and Master. Yu Xi will always be waiting for you in Song City." Song Yu Xi's voice choked with emotion.
Ye Liang nodded with satisfaction, put away the scroll carrying the message, and said to his senior sisters, "We've rested enough, let's continue our journey. When we reach the next place where we can stay, we'll stop for a meal and stay overnight. We'll try not to camp outside at night, do you think this arrangement is good?"
“That’s excellent.” Senior Sister Qi Xue, with a heart as pure as ice and snow, readily agreed.
My second senior sister has also expressed that this is excellent.
Afterwards, they immediately went over and asked their master to get up and get into the carriage, as they needed to continue their journey.
The three carriages continued their journey, traveling at a leisurely pace across the vast expanse of land.
After traveling for more than an hour, the carriage was inevitably bumpy and tiring. Now they had come to a major fork in the road, and there happened to be a teahouse by the roadside. Ye Liang stopped the carriage there, got out, and invited his master and senior sister to get off and have some tea and rest. He also asked for directions to Songcheng.
Ye Liang and his senior sisters were all visiting Songcheng for the first time, so they didn't know the way there.
When we left Xiaoxianzhuang, we only followed a general direction. Along the way, we had to ask for directions from one city to another.
"Sir, you're going to Songcheng? I've never been there. But I've heard merchants talk about how to get there. Before, you'd go via the small ferry crossing. See that main road? But nobody goes that way anymore. Now everyone takes the old mountain path, which has become the main road. Going through the mountain pass is a detour, and the journey is much longer," the tea vendor told Ye Liang.
"Why can we walk this road before, but not now?" Ye Liang asked curiously.
"It's because of the crab infestation." Even the tea vendors didn't need to say it; the merchants who were sitting and resting started chatting with Ye Liang.
They seemed very heartbroken; this road was now impassable.
Sipping his tea from a large bowl, he complained to Ye Liang, "Young man, judging from your attire, you must be cultivators from a prestigious sect. If you truly possess the ability to slay demons and monsters, why not help us poor merchants by eliminating the crab infestation at the ferry crossing?"
"Crab infestation? Could it be that we have another Beast King to fight? Is that right?" Upon hearing about the crab infestation, Qin Shaoyang immediately perked up.
Now, he is eager to quickly gather the Foundation Establishment Realm True Immortal equipment he will wear in the future, and he is quite perceptive about news about Beast Kings that can be fought.
Upon hearing this, I was immediately excited.
He asked eagerly.
"You want to fight the Beast King? Then you've come to the right place. There must be a giant crab king there. It's destroyed quite a few ferry boats. If it weren't the crab king, could it have destroyed so many large boats? If you don't believe me, ask the shopkeeper, is that right?" The bearded man who spoke to Ye Liang was excited.
They secretly hoped that Ye Liang and the other people dressed as powerful cultivators could rid them of this menace.
At this point, the shopkeeper chimed in, "I'm from Xiaowangzhuang, which isn't far from the ferry crossing. We know the situation there pretty well. There's a fairly large lake near the ferry crossing. Taking the ferry across the lake saves a lot of walking along the difficult mountain paths and shortens the journey. In the past, merchants always used the ferry crossing. But then, about a year ago, a crab infestation occurred in the lake near the ferry crossing, capsizing the large ferry boats and causing many merchants to lose their goods and even their lives. Many of the fishermen who operated the boats also perished. Now, no one dares to use that road anymore. The ferry crossing is in dire straits. Almost every family in the village has lost a relative in that lake. After all, to make a living, they have to go fishing. But going there two or three times out of three, someone dies. The people there have long since lost their lives."
"It's so tragic, aren't there any powerful cultivators around who would come to rid the people of this scourge?" Qin Shaoyang asked, puzzled.
The shopkeeper said, "I definitely did ask. But in this world, most of the powerful cultivators who are willing to bow down for a pittance are swindlers. They take our money and then do nothing, which is already good enough. If they encounter someone with a bad heart, they'll take advantage of our misfortune and bully us poor folks. We can't afford to offend those with some cultivation skills. We can only let them bully us. In the end, who would dare to trust anyone else?"
"Wasn't there a single powerful cultivator passing by who would have taken the opportunity to rid the people of this menace? Do you think they would all have been willing to take a detour? I don't believe it." Qin Shaoyang, true to his youthful spirit and high aspirations, pressed the stall owner for an answer.
The shopkeeper, holding a towel, smiled bitterly and said, "There were indeed a few powerful cultivators who sincerely wanted to rid us poor people of this scourge, but they're all dead. They went to the lake and never came back. Along with them, none of the people who risked their lives to send them into the lake to rid us of this scourge returned. They must have all died in the lake."
