Throughout the journey, even when she was asleep, Ye Liang did not act improperly, which made Yang Qiao'er trust Ye Liang's character. This reassured her and made her less worried. Yang Qiao'er thought the suggestion was good and readily agreed without much hesitation. Then, she jumped off the carriage. After landing, she stretched comfortably; having slept on the way, her body really needed to relax.
The girl's yawning really accentuated her figure. Standing so close, Ye Liang could see that Yang Qiao'er, such a slender girl, also had such a full figure. It was only because our young master was so worldly-wise that he could remain calm. Otherwise, any other man would probably have made a fool of himself and harbored wicked thoughts.
After Yang Qiao'er stretched, Ye Liang helped her put away the wolf skin that had covered her and put away Fei Bao. Then, he happily led her to Xiaodukou Village, where there were still lights at that moment.
"It's almost midnight, isn't it? Why is it still so lively here?" Yang Qiao'er also found it strange.
Ye Liang ventured to speculate, "Brother Liang must have been working overtime tonight to transport merchants across the lake. You've probably seen this Brother Liang before, but you probably don't know him. He's the one who drives the big boat."
"Hmm." Yang Qiao'er nodded and said, "We were in a hurry when we passed by and didn't pay much attention. But we did hear that a great immortal cultivator from the Bixian Sect helped them defeat the crab king in the lake, bringing blessings to the whole village. I suppose that the great immortal cultivator whom the villagers are so grateful for must be you, young master."
With a giggle, Yang Qiao'er laughed with particular ease.
Ye Liang chuckled sheepishly, "I also regret not coming sooner, knowing the suffering here, and helping them escape their misery. Of course, I also know that if I had come earlier, I wouldn't have had the strength to defeat the Crab King in the lake. When I first came here, my strength was just enough to defeat the Crab King. Now, if I were to fight it, I could probably take it down with ease."
"Young Master, your strength has grown so rapidly," Yang Qiao'er said with great admiration.
Ye Liang laughed and said, "Actually, it's just a matter of advancing one realm. However, after advancing my realm, I got more powerful equipment and learned stronger techniques, so my overall strength increased significantly. I'll also help you upgrade the combat power of your magic treasures and weapons later."
"Is this alright? I'm a disciple of the Haoqi Sect, so I'm practically an enemy," Yang Qiao'er said, genuinely worried for Ye Liang.
Ye Liang laughed again: "If you were truly an enemy, you would dare to get on my carriage and come for a ride with me. You're just being infuriating!"
These words made Yang Qiao'er laugh.
Ye Liang continued, "Even if the Haoqi Sect really becomes my enemy, as long as you don't, you are my friend. Besides, even if the Haoqi Sect comes with its troops, it's not necessary for a young lady like you to personally fight against me."
Ye Liang is really open-minded, which made Yang Qiao'er nod in admiration.
I felt the topic was too heavy, so I decided not to bring it up.
Seeing that there were still people on the street and several food stalls by the roadside even at this hour, Yang Qiao'er immediately said excitedly, "Young master, I want to eat that. I can smell the aroma from here."
Such a small wish, and such an easily satisfied girl—Ye Liang naturally smiled and took her there immediately.
"Shopkeeper, two bowls of mutton offal soup and two sesame seed cakes."
Yang Qiao'er must have been really hungry last night, because as soon as she sat down, she took the initiative to order food.
"Here it is, two bowls of mutton offal soup and two sesame seed cakes." A man immediately brought over the soup, while a woman was making the sesame seed cakes.
"Young master, um, benefactor?" The man who brought the soup hadn't noticed at first, but now he suddenly realized that the great immortal cultivator who had just sat down was none other than Ye Liang, the one who had saved the entire village—their great benefactor.
