rain
Summer in the South is always rainy. As I recall, they had been traveling in the rain for many days, which turned out to be a rare period of peace.
According to Ji Yinglei, they would arrive in Kuizhou in two more days. They still had plenty of supplies left and didn't need to go into the city to avoid getting into trouble.
To be honest, the battle at the Underworld Lotus Sect felt like it was just yesterday. Before leaving, Ji Wushuang gave Ji Yinglei a set of armor to wear underneath, and also gave Jiang Yingyue a crossbow. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, and she realized that it was the same crossbow that Qi Yuan had used back then.
Jiang Yingyue and Ji Yinglei's carrier pigeons could find each other no matter how far away they were. They attracted Fang Lingfeng's attention in the cave, which allowed the Iron Cavalry Camp and Xuanjing Pavilion to arrive successfully. Without any one of these links, they probably wouldn't have been able to win.
Li Chong also gave them some medicine, and Ji Yinglei's scratches on his arm healed in just a few days. Perhaps because the atmosphere on the road was too oppressive, Jiang Yingyue tried to speak, "I wonder when this rain will stop."
No sooner had he finished speaking than thunder rumbled in the sky: "It is said that there is no rain on Rifeng Mountain."
"Why?" Ye Qingzhu's interest was piqued.
“There are hurricanes blowing all year round on Rifeng Mountain. The only time it stops is at noon, and it only stops for half an hour,” Ji Yinglei replied. “Even if it rains, the evil wind can blow it away.”
This is no joke; the legend of Rifeng Mountain is widely circulated in the area, and even Ji Yinglei, who was just passing through, remembered it vividly. It is said that local adults would use this legend to scare children away from running around, especially away from Rifeng Mountain, since the wind there is strong enough to blow a six-year-old child away.
Jiang Yingyue could roughly guess that it was the strange phenomenon created by Jiuxiao, and she couldn't help but start thinking about how to get Jiuxiao.
Meanwhile, the rain in Hangzhou was not the light drizzle the three had seen; Hangzhou was experiencing a terrible downpour, and the entire sky had turned black.
Bai Yu returned to his main hall, soaked to the bone. The servants inside immediately rushed forward in alarm, exclaiming, "Alliance Leader! ...Why is no one holding an umbrella for you? What if you catch a cold?"
She was a young maid, and Bai Yu couldn't help but glance at her a few more times: "I remember there shouldn't be any women serving here."
Upon hearing this, the maid was so frightened that she dared not move, her hands trembling uncontrollably. Bai Yu reached out and lifted her cheek, examining her carefully for a moment: "You would be even more beautiful if you added a flower ornament to your forehead."
The maid clearly hadn't expected him to say that, and then Bai Yu left on his own without asking her to help him change.
Soon after, he changed into his luxurious attire, swaggering and unrestrained, and sat at his desk, making it impossible to tell that he was almost fifty years old.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader," a disciple hurriedly ran in.
"They've arrived?" Bai Yu remained calm, flipping through the book in his hand. Just as the disciple finished replying, two figures appeared at the door and walked in unhurriedly. "Envoy Feng, Envoy Yi, I hope you two have come out of seclusion to tell me good news."
The two men below the hall were a swordsman with a bandage wrapped around his eyes, a neat ponytail, and an upright posture; the healer had a scar on every exposed part of his body. He slowly spoke: "Reporting to the Alliance Leader, the swordsman can now move freely, but... the Thunder Sword has finally recognized its master."
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, please give me some more time, I will definitely..." Feng Shi hurriedly said, but Bai Yu cut him off: "Of course I will give you time. You can work on it as much as you want before they come back. Just ask if you need anything."
Feng Shi hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes."
"You may leave, but the physician may remain." Watching the envoy depart, Bai Yu asked the question that concerned him most, "From your observation, how long can he hold out?"
