Chapter 262: Concealing the Truth
Sikong Qing couldn't help but look at Xiao Chujing.
One of them rode a magic weapon, and the other flew a sword, tracking the direction where the dragon disappeared.
Xiao Chujing said nothing, his whole body emitting a terrifying murderous intent.
Sikong Qing didn't understand what was so bad about Xiao Chujing that he could break through.
There is clearly no direct evidence to show that the woman in white is Ye Xiaoman.
There was one thing Xiao Chujing didn't tell Sikong Qing.
Ye Xiaoman holds the nine dragons of the Ji family in her hands.
He personally helped Ye Xiaoman to terminate the contract.
If the woman in white had not used the dragon to escape, he would still have doubts about her true nature.
The moment the woman rode away on the dragon, her identity became clear.
Xiao Chujing tried his best to clear his mind of all distracting thoughts.
He did not stand still in his relationship, but gradually corrected his shortcomings in order to be more worthy of Ye Xiaoman's kindness.
He learned from his past mistakes and did not lose his temper immediately. Instead, he planned to find Ye Xiaoman and ask her the reason in person.
Even if the woman entangled with Ji Wenyi is her, she may have her own difficulties.
He had heard that some selfless monks had voluntarily infiltrated the demon clan for their ideals, even using themselves as bait to sell out to enemy leaders for information...
Xiao Chujing didn't want Ye Xiaoman to go this far for justice.
There is no use thinking too much.
Xiao Chujing concentrated his mind and tried to find out where Ye Xiaoman was.
Sikong Qing and Xiao Chujing chased the giant dragon, but were soon thrown off by the dragon and returned empty-handed.
They all did not notify Ye Xiaoman again and turned around to go to the south of the city mentioned in Ye Xiaoman's conversation.
If the woman in white was her, there was a distance between the north and south of the city, and it would be difficult for her to reach the south of the city to meet up with them in such a short time.
Even if they could use the dragon's speed, the dragon was such an obvious target and everyone in the city was watching, so they could still catch her.
Ye Xiaoman did not try to conceal her breath.
Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing quickly found Ye Xiaoman at a snack stall in the south market.
Ye Xiaoman, dressed in the green robe of a Qingzheng Sect disciple, sat at a low table facing the street outside the food stall. It seemed that she had been waiting for them for a long time.
The mung bean soup in front of her was already finished, and there were still a few empty snack bowls.
She also bought a bowl of mung bean soup for Sikong Qing and Xiao Chujing, but it had already gone cold by the time they arrived, with a layer of oil floating on the surface of the soup.
There were eight small bowls on the table filled with sweet tofu. Ye Xiaoman used a trick to transform the eight shrunken dragons into eight small snakes, which were eating desserts in a very cute posture, holding the bowls with their front two paws.
"What would you two like to eat? My sweet water is one of the best in the city."
The stall owner came over and cleared the table next to Ye Xiaoman where the guests had finished eating. He complained to Ye Xiaoman, "Girl, you've been sitting in my house for almost an hour. The table next to you has been replaced several times, and you haven't finished eating yet."
Ye Xiaoman smiled and said, "The person I'm waiting for is almost here. I'll be leaving soon."
The stall owner inadvertently served as a time witness for Ye Xiaoman.
Sikong Qing didn't know about Long's affairs, but when he saw Ye Xiaoman in person, his doubts were dispelled. He smiled and sat down, "I just saw someone who looked like you on the north wall."
Ye Xiaoman munched on a strawberry cheesecake, her expression normal. She even joked with Sikong Qing, "Did you mistake someone for me?"
Sikong Qing was afraid that Ye Xiaoman would be unhappy, so he immediately denied it, "It was the mad dog who recognized the wrong person. Even if you turned into ashes, I would still recognize you."
Ye Xiaoman didn't care and patted the chair on the other side of her hand, "Brother Xiao, sit down too."
Xiao Chujing sat down with her high ponytail swaying slightly and no special expression on her face.
He took out the Qiankun bag from his arms, took out Ye Xiaoman's nameless sword and returned it to her, then scanned the little dragons on the table and found that there was one missing white one.
He asked in a natural tone, "Why is there one dragon missing?"
Ye Xiaoman took over her life sword. The sword spirit was exhausted, and its shrunken figure lay on the flower vines to rest. Seeing her, the little man hugged her fingertips, which were bigger than his head, and rubbed them.
She dragged a stool to a place where the sun could reach, released the sword spirit out to absorb the essence of day and night to recharge, and at the same time gave it a breath of true energy.
She answered casually, seemingly unconcerned, "I borrowed it."
Sikong Qing was sweetly drinking the mung bean soup Ye Xiaoman had bought for him. Upon hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and nudged the head of the dragon closest to him with his finger, nearly getting bitten off. "Is this a dragon? Where did it come from?"
He was very unhappy because Ye Xiaoman and Xiao Chujing had a secret that he didn't know.
Ye Xiaoman briefly told Sikong Qing about how she and Xiao Chujing teamed up to kidnap Ji's dragon while she was undercover in the palace.
Xiao Chujing then asked, "Bailong, who did you borrow it from?"
Ye Xiaoman stretched her neck and looked towards the end of the alley. "They should be arriving soon."
After she finished speaking, she took advantage of Sikong Qing's inattention and rubbed Xiao Chujing's hand on the table with the side of her hand, and Xiao Chujing immediately became confused.
Ye Xiaoman pushed the mung bean paste in front of Xiao Chujing and said softly, "Senior Brother Xiao, eat something."
Xiao Chujing immediately picked up the spoon happily.
After half a cup of tea, a woman in white stopped beside their table.
She was wearing a white veil, so her face couldn't be seen clearly. At first glance, the shape of her eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like Ye Xiaoman.
They do look alike, even their height and weight are similar.
There was a gap in the sleeves where the fabric seemed to have been roughly torn off by the man.
She bowed gracefully, "Thank you, Master Ye, for your righteous help."
The voice that started talking was the same as the one Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing heard when they were listening to the gossip.
Ye Xiaoman stood up and supported her. "It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about."
The woman in white wiped her tears with lingering fear, "It was only with your help that I was able to escape from Ji Wenyi's clutches."
Sikong Qing and Xiao Chujing stood aside, listening to their conversation.
From their conversation, they learned that the woman in front of them was Ji Wenyi's Queen Ji Tuibao, who was currently escaping from her marriage.
As someone who was also oppressed by the powerful, she sought help from a resistance organization for slave liberation. Ye Xiaoman happened to be a brave person in the organization, and she received help from Ye Xiaoman, who lent her a dragon.
It was also thanks to this dragon that she temporarily escaped from the hands of Ji Wenyi and the city lord.
Sikong Qing was proud of Ye Xiaoman, and Xiao Chujing no longer had any doubts and was completely happy.
Fortunately, I didn't make trouble, otherwise I would have disappointed my junior sister again.
The woman said, "I don't want to talk to you any more. I have to leave the city quickly. The mountains are long and the rivers are wide. I hope we'll meet again if we're destined to."
Ye Xiaoman whistled, and a little white dragon popped out from under the sleeve of the woman in white.
Ye Xiaoman reached out and it wrapped around her wrist. She bought the ninth bowl of tofu pudding from the stall owner and put it on the table to eat.
The woman said a few more words of gratitude before leaving.
Sikong Qing and Xiao Chujing withdrew their gaze.
Ye Xiaoman and the woman exchanged knowing glances.
The woman in white left gracefully.
She quickly walked out of the alley and into a deserted place, then she took off the veil from her face, revealing the face of a young girl.
