Seeing his hurried explanations and the panic on his face, Qiu Honglei finally smiled through her tears: "Grandpa, you're so good to me..."
Seeing the two embrace again, this time without any lust, just a warm hug, Leng Shuangyue sighed inwardly, "The saintess is indeed the saintess. I thought she had turned into a naive and innocent girl. This green tea's methods are really clever."
Hmph, how can the women of our Holy Church not be a bitch!
She finally felt completely relieved, realizing that she had worried about the saintess for nothing.
Given the numerous candidates in the sect back then, how could someone who stood out from the fierce competition to become the sole Holy Maiden be a naive and innocent girl who would be taken advantage of by a scoundrel?
...
After saying goodbye to Qiu Honglei, Zu An left the Jiaofangsi feeling somewhat lost and dejected.
They've all left, all gone from me...
Although he knew the separation was not permanent, Zuan still felt a sense of loneliness. The bustling capital city in front of him was, in his eyes, a scene of "withered vines, old trees, and crows at dusk; the setting sun, and a heartbroken person at the ends of the earth."
They walked for an unknown amount of time when suddenly a series of exclamations came from not far away.
Zuan looked back and saw an extremely magnificent tall horse charging towards him like a madman, its momentum like that of a small tank.
In the world of cultivation, even horses are so much stronger than the horses of my previous life?
Zu An was taken aback, but he dodged to the side. With his current cultivation level, how could a runaway horse possibly bump into him?
The horse charged wildly, causing chaos in the street as everyone panicked and scattered in all directions.
Just then, a carriage slowly approaching appeared not far away. The coachman at the front of the carriage was a disheveled old man. He seemed to be stunned by the scene before him and froze on the spot.
The carriage wasn't luxurious; in fact, it looked rather dilapidated. It must have come from an ordinary family. Given the power of that galloping horse, a collision would have been a guaranteed disaster, resulting in death and annihilation.
Zuan frowned. In his previous life, he had seen several famous news reports online about out-of-control cars hitting innocent pedestrians. Back then, as a keyboard warrior, he could only express his righteous indignation online. Now that he had the ability in this world, he naturally did not want to sit idly by and watch tragedies happen.
He shouted and rushed forward, his speed allowing him to overtake the horse and grab the reins tightly.
With his current cultivation level, he possesses more than a thousand pounds of strength. Although this horse is powerful, it is still just a horse.
The two feet dragged two marks on the ground, but eventually managed to stop the frightened horse.
But the horse kept snorting and stamping its feet, appearing extremely agitated.
"Uncle Fu, what's wrong?" At this moment, a soft and melodious voice suddenly came from the carriage not far away, like the dripping of a clear spring or the harmonious singing of phoenixes.
Zuan was taken aback. He felt that he had heard the voice somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
"Madam, a horse has been startled and has rushed over, but it has been stopped by someone," the old coachman replied.
The gentle voice inside spoke again: "Since nothing happened, let's go."
