Chapter 54 Encounter with Mercenaries



Old Prince Yun was so angry that he jumped on the spot. All the servants didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of bringing bad luck to their own prince.

Who could have expected that the always well-behaved little lady would actually run away from home?!

"This little girl is really pissing me off!"

Old Prince Yun held the wrinkled letter in his hand, wanting to throw it away but reluctant to do so, so he picked it up and read it again.

The letter read: Grandpa, Zheng'er is going to train. The location is unknown, so you don't need to send anyone to look for me. I'll report back periodically. This period is Aunt's recovery period. Please take good care of her and don't let anyone with ulterior motives harm her again! I'm sure you know how to handle it in Aunt's best interests! Finally, don't worry about me. I'm now a sixth-level Spiritual Master, and I still have some hidden cards up my sleeve...

I placed a wooden box in your study, Grandpa. There are many things in it as a gift to you. Remember to put it in your pocket and don’t let others find it!

Grandpa, the day Zheng'er returns will be the day she becomes famous in the Chu Kingdom!

Don’t worry!

As Old Prince Yun watched, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

He placed the letter on the table and smoothed the wrinkled letter with his palm, again and again, very patiently!

When everyone saw this scene, they thought to themselves, the prince really can't stay angry for long. Look, he is already sorting out the handwritten letter left by the young lady!

Old Prince Yun carefully put the letter back into the envelope and then put it into his storage ring.

He looked up and met everyone's slightly teasing gazes.

He waved his sleeves in frustration and said in a deep voice, "What are you looking at? This is the first time my precious granddaughter has written to me, so I can't help but feel a little excited. Go do what you need to do!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Everyone responded in unison.

Old Prince Yun looked at the maid Yueji who was lowering her head and looking sad.

Old Prince Yun said, "Yueji, you will serve Miss Miao personally from now on. This is what Zheng'er said in the letter."

Yueji's eyes lit up. "Really? Did the young lady mention me in the letter?"

"Of course it is so. Would I bother to deceive you?"

Yueji was so happy that she bowed slightly and said, "I know my mistake. I will go to Miao Pavilion to serve Miss Miao now."

Old Prince Yun waved his hand and let her leave.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the blue sky, and sighed deeply. Finally, the young eagle spread its wings!

——The other side

Not far outside the city of Great Chu is the entrance to the Flame Forest.

Yun Zheng rode for two or three hours and finally arrived at the entrance of the Flame Forest. She let the horse go and walked in.

Suddenly, Yun Zheng heard a noise behind her. Turning back, she saw a group of tall and strong mercenaries walking towards her.

There was a wolf-head-shaped mark on their arms. The leader was about 34 years old and had the appearance of an elegant scholar. Although he was slightly shorter than the other mercenaries, the murderous aura on his body was stronger than that of the others!

Yun Zheng only took two glances, then looked away and walked forward without hesitation.

"Little sister, it's very dangerous in there, don't go in!" a man shouted.

When Yun Zheng heard this, she curled her lips and raised her right hand and waved it casually.

Then, she completely disappeared in front of the group of mercenaries. The man who had just shouted was so surprised that he opened his mouth and stammered, "This, this girl, could it be a ghost?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a mysterious thing happen in broad daylight? Boss, don't you agree?" A man with three ugly scars like gullies on his face spoke.

The elegant scholar-like figure called the boss glanced at them and nodded slightly, saying, "That girl isn't a ghost. She just used a third-grade invisibility rune."

"What? That girl actually has a third-grade invisibility rune on her!"

"How is that possible? She's just a little girl!"

"Could she be from some big family?"

The boss, who had the elegant scholar's face, smiled, closed his folding fan and hit the man with three scars on his face. Suddenly, he said seriously, "Wang Kong, you can't judge a person by appearance. As mercenaries, we should not judge people by appearance!"

Wang Kong curled his lips upon hearing this and complained, "Boss, you speak in such a flowery way, I don't understand you!"

"Hahaha..." All of a sudden, all the mercenaries burst into laughter.

Yun Zheng came to the Flame Forest and could finally let Erbai out for a walk openly. The tiny Erbai squatted on her shoulder.

After the distressed phoenix was healed by her magic, it automatically fell into a deep sleep. The book spirit told her that it had automatically gone into hibernation and would wake up at an uncertain time.

Maybe it's a month, maybe half a year, or even a hundred years...

After hearing this, Yun Zheng's mouth twitched a few times.

After entering the Flame Forest, the Book Spirit transformed into a cute little boy of four or five years old and followed her.

"I can't keep calling you Shuling, right?" Yun Zheng said, "How about I give you a name?"

Shu Ling thought expressionlessly, "Okay."

Yun Zheng couldn't help laughing when she saw him pretending to be serious with a stern face. This little guy is quite cute with a contrast!

Yun Zheng carefully observed the little Shu Ling. His hair was a light yellow with naturally curled ends, and his eyes were an eerie crimson...

"Let me call you Juanjuan, is that okay?"

The little Shuling was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a wooden face and said, "It doesn't sound good."

Before Yun Zheng could say anything, the little Shuling raised her hand and pointed at the furry Erbai on her shoulder and asked, "Why is it called Erbai? I want to be called Juanjuan?"

"Squeak." Erbai immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, woooo, woooo, it didn't want to be called Erbai either, it was not majestic and domineering enough!

Yun Zheng laughed, touched his hair, and asked, "So I call you Sanjuan?"

When these words were spoken, Erbai was stunned. He had not expected that his master would have such a train of thought!

The little Shuling shook his head again.

Just when Erbai thought the little book spirit was clever, the little book spirit said something shocking: "If I'm going to be the boss, I'll be called Dajuan!"

Finally, he added, "I want to lead Erbai and the others!"

Erbai was so frightened that he slipped and fell from Yunzheng's shoulder.

Lian Yunzheng found it unbelievable, and looked at Xiao Shuling, no, Dajuan, with eyes full of surprise.

"Squeak."

"Squeak."

Erbai called out to Dajuan twice.

Dajuan looked at it and said, "Call me Big Brother!"

Yun Zheng: “…” She seriously suspected that this cute child was a fake book spirit!

Erbai is so angry!

Who doesn’t want to be the big brother? Just be angry, it can’t speak.

At this time, Dajuan leaned over and picked up the tiny Erbai, comforting him: "You are the second brother. In the future, besides me and the master, you will have many younger brothers and sisters, right, master?"

Dajuan and Erbai looked at Yunzheng at the same time.
