When Si Luo went to exchange the silver, he inquired about the carriage and horse shop, so he easily led the two of them to the shop.
Just as the three of them finished buying the horses and were about to leave, a figure suddenly leaped into the air and appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
Master Lingyin looked at Wen Nongnong with a chilling gaze, "I was just about to go to Xiangzhou to look for you, but you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep."
Seeing that the other party was hostile, Si Luo spurred his horse forward and shielded Wen Nongnong behind him, asking, "Who are you?"
Master Lingyin didn't take him seriously, thinking he was just Wen Nongnong's guard, and said contemptuously, "If you want to live, don't meddle in other people's business and stay far away."
Seeing his arrogance, Si Luo frowned. Just as she was about to say something, Wen Nongnong pulled her back.
She frowned and looked at Master Lingyin. "Master Lingyin, I've always wondered why you're seeking revenge on me. We have no connection whatsoever."
"No connection?" Master Lingyin said angrily. "My Qingning died because of you, and Wen Ruyi died so tragically. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have ended up like that."
"You think you can wash your hands of everything by saying you have no connection? Not so easy. Today I will take your life to comfort their souls in heaven." With that, he drew his sword, pointing it at Wen Nongnong. "Don't say I'm bullying a junior like you; I can give you three moves first."
Wen Nongnong was quite surprised to hear this. Shen Qingning was one thing, but what was the relationship between Wen Ruyi and the Lingyin Daoist? The key point was that when Wen Ruyi died, she was far away in Xiangzhou and only learned of her death from Atuo Jianghua.
Why is this old Taoist priest blaming everything on her?
What does it mean to be at home when trouble comes knocking from the sky?
She now truly understands this; it seems she is the unlucky one.
Thinking of this, she calmed down instead. "Master Lingyin, it seems you must have some misunderstanding. Shen Qingning's death has nothing to do with me. As for Wen Ruyi, she brought that upon herself, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
"It has nothing to do with anyone? Wen Nongnong, you are truly a vicious snake. Do you think they are all dead and there is no way to verify the facts, so you dare to talk such nonsense?" Master Lingyin's expression became somewhat deranged as he spoke.
Wen Nong Nong was about to argue with him again when Si Luo suddenly patted her horse's back and said in a deep voice, "You and Si Lan go first, go as far as you can, I'll catch up with you in a bit."
Before Wen Nongnong could speak, the horse had already galloped off. Si Lan told Si Luo to be careful, and then spurred her horse to chase after it.
When Master Lingyin saw Wen Nongnong run away, he immediately wanted to give chase, but was stopped by Si Luo.
"You brat, I think you're courting death!" Master Lingyin had gone completely mad, and he slashed at Si Luo with his sword like a madman.
Wen Nongnong and Si Lan rode away from Rongshi Town.
Only when they were far from Rongshi Town and certain that Daoist Lingyin would not pursue them any further did the two rein in their horses and decide to wait for Si Luo there.
Si Lan craned her neck and looked in the direction of Rongshi Town, saying with concern, "Will my brother be alright?"
"No, Si Luo's martial arts are so high, and besides, Master Lingyin has already gone a bit crazy, so he's definitely no match for him." Wen Nongnong comforted him with these words, but she was actually a little worried in her heart.
Because she knew that Master Lingyin possessed profound internal strength and was skilled in using poison, even if Si Luo was powerful, she might not be his match.
But Si Luo didn't even consult her before kicking her and Si Lan out.
"What's the deal with that old man? What's your grudge?" Si Lan asked, voicing her doubts.
Wen Nongnong didn't hide anything from her and told her everything.
Si Lan gasped in astonishment, "This old man is so unreasonable."
Wen Nongnong was also extremely annoyed. "He has tried to kill me more than once. Last year, he even broke into the Prince's mansion to assassinate me."
"But how did this person get involved with Wen Ruyi?" Si Lan was very puzzled.
Wen Nongnong was also confused. "I don't know either. I've never heard of him knowing Wen Ruyi before."
As the two were talking, a rider galloped in from afar; it was none other than Si Luo.
"Brother!" Si Lan exclaimed with delight, spurring her horse forward to greet him.
"Let's go." Si Luo slowed down the horse's speed, but had no intention of stopping.
Wen Nongnong rode up to him, looked him over, and asked, "Are you alright?"
Si Luo pulled the reins of the horse back into her sleeve and shook her head. "I'm fine."
"That's good." Wen Nongnong was relieved. After all, Master Lingyin came to seek revenge on her, but Si Luo blocked it for her. If he had been injured, she would have felt very guilty. Hearing that he was alright, she was relieved and then asked, "How is Master Lingyin?"
"I think he's gone mad. When he fought me, he only attacked and didn't defend. His internal strength is very high. If he weren't in such a bad state, I probably wouldn't be his match," Si Luo said, lowering her eyes.
Wen Nongnong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
"So, he might catch up at any moment?"
“Yes, so we need to get back to Xiangzhou as soon as possible,” Si Luo said.
"Si Luo, thank you," Wen Nong Nong whispered.
Si Luo glanced at her, his eyes filled with a smile. He had never felt so relaxed before. He shook his head. "You're welcome."
When Wen Nong Nong looked over, he had already turned his gaze away.
The journey from Cizhou to Xiangzhou took three days. The three men rode at full speed, day and night, and it took them two days to get back to Xiangzhou.
Looking at Xiangzhou City so close at hand, Wen Nongnong was overjoyed and quickened her pace.
