"Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!"
On the official road outside Hanxuan City, a horse galloped through the woods, carrying a man and a woman.
At a certain moment, the man suddenly pulled on the reins.
"Whoa—"
The horse lifted its front legs and came to an abrupt halt. The man could no longer bear it, so he jumped off the horse and ran to the grass to vomit violently!
"Huff—"
The woman in the green dress on horseback stood behind the man with a concerned expression, gently patting his back.
"Brother Yunhao, are you alright... Oh dear, what are we going to do? I've been throwing up the whole way..."
Shen Yunhao's face was deathly pale. He vomited for a long time but couldn't get anything out. Finally, he sat down on the ground, waved his hand, and said weakly, "Oh, I can't take it anymore... This is too bumpy and uncomfortable!"
"If I had known this would happen, I should have hired a carriage..."
Shen Yunhao lay on the grass, looking utterly dejected.
No one had ever told him that there was such a thing as horse sickness...
It was fine at first, but after riding for a long time, I'm afraid my head would be shaken off!
If others knew that a cultivator at the Iron Bone Realm had been so thoroughly wrecked while riding a horse, they would laugh their heads off...
"Let's rest for a while then, we're not in a hurry anyway."
Qing Teng took out the water bottle and offered it to Shen Yunhao's lips, but Shen Yunhao pushed it away.
"I can't take it anymore, I'll throw up if I drink it... I need to sleep for a bit, I can't stand it anymore..."
As he spoke, he turned to his side, intending to lie down.
"Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!"
The sound of horses' hooves rang out.
Shen Yunhao's scalp tingled: "What's going on? I'm already lying down, but why do I still feel like I'm riding a horse!"
"No, it looks like someone is coming!"
Qing Teng stood up and looked in one direction. Sure enough, he saw a man dressed in white riding a horse galloping towards them.
Shen Yunhao raised his head listlessly, glanced at it, and then collapsed back down.
"Be careful he doesn't trample me to death..."
"..."
Shen Yunhao closed his eyes, remained silent for two seconds, and suddenly said, "Strange, why does that person look a little familiar?"
At this point, Shen Yunhao stood up again, frowning as he looked in the direction of the person who had come.
As they got closer, Shen Yunhao could see things more and more clearly.
When the person's facial features were fully revealed to Shen Yunhao, he exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! It's my little brother!"
"Huh? My brother's younger brother?"
Shen Yunhao has no brothers, but his father Shen Yunxiao has two older brothers: the head of the family, Shen Muchi, and his second uncle, Shen Mingyi.
Shen Muchi's two sons both work at Yunxiao Escort Agency and are Shen Yunhao's cousins.
Shen Yunhao's second uncle, Shen Mingyi, also had a son, Shen Wenruo, who was two years younger than Shen Yunhao. He was studying at the Bowen Academy in Hanxuan City.
The person in front of him was none other than Shen Wenruo!
"My second uncle's son is the youngest son of the Shen family... Haha, what a coincidence!"
Shen Yunhao stood up laughing, but when he saw Shen Wenruo riding a white horse, whipping it into action, his smile froze on his face.
"Holy crap! Isn't he a scholar? How come he's a better horseman than me? And... why doesn't he get motion sickness when riding? Are they even family?"
As he said this, Shen Yunhao seemed to be hit hard, and he raised his hand to cover his face.
"It's boring...it's really boring!"
Qing Teng sighed, about to say something, when suddenly his eyes narrowed, he jumped up, pointed in that direction and said, "Oh no! My brother's little brother... his little brother is going to die!"
What nonsense are you spouting?
Shen Yunhao almost choked on his words. He looked up and his expression changed drastically.
Over there, Shen Wenruo, riding a horse at full speed, had a look of fear on his face.
Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind, and an arrow shot out from the dense forest, hitting Shen Wenruo's left shoulder directly!
"ah……"
The sixteen-year-old boy cried out in pain, his body went limp, and he could no longer hold onto the reins, falling straight off the horse!
"not good!"
Shen Yunhao cried out in alarm, "Quick! Quick! Brother, save me! No! Save my brother!"
Even without Shen Yunhao's reminder, Qing Teng had already slipped out before Shen Wenruo was hit by the arrow!
Shen Wenruo was about a hundred meters away. Qing Teng rushed over in just two seconds and caught the little boy who fell from the horse.
Shen Yunhao didn't dare to hesitate and immediately drew his Guixue Sword, rushing towards that direction.
Sure enough, the next moment, the sound of hooves rang out again, and dozens of horse-riding figures rushed out from the woods.
One of them, wielding a long spear, thrust it fiercely at the green vines on the ground: "Where did this wild child come from, daring to meddle in the royal family's affairs? He's asking for death!"
"clang!"
Shen Yunhao stepped forward with his sword and directly parried the menacing spear.
There was practically no spiritual energy on the person opposite him; he was probably just a well-trained mortal, and Shen Yunhao could easily deal with him.
However, what he is more worried about now is being hit by an arrow at Shen Wenruo.
"Qing Teng! Take him away, whatever you do, don't let him die! I'll hold these people off!"
"Brother Yunhao, please be careful!"
Qing Teng could naturally see that these people were far weaker than Shen Yunhao, so he immediately picked up the little boy who had fallen into a coma and fled into the distance.
Meanwhile, the knight on the other side was also startled after being knocked back by Shen Yunhao's sword. He immediately realized that he had probably encountered a cultivator.
The leading knight hesitated for a moment, looking at Shen Yunhao's somewhat immature face, before finally saying, "May I ask which school you belong to, and why you are preventing my Tianyu Royal Family from capturing a serious criminal!"
Shen Yunhao's face showed some anger: "I wonder what wrong that child committed that warranted such a severe punishment?"
"Hmph! He attempted to assassinate our imperial concubine, a heinous crime. I beg you, Your Excellency, not to stop him!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Yunhao cursed loudly, "He's just a tiny kid, a weak scholar, trying to assassinate the Imperial Concubine? What the hell are you talking about?!"
Being verbally abused by such a young lad, the knight lost face and angrily said, "I respected you as a celestial cultivator, which is why I tried to persuade you. Since you insist on interfering with law enforcement, then don't blame us for showing no mercy!"
If they encountered cultivators on ordinary days, they would naturally not dare to offend them easily.
However... Shen Wenruo, who escaped, must be killed, but the person in front of me is so young, what kind of cultivation could he possibly have?
Even the second prince, who has the best talent in immortal cultivation in the royal family, cannot contend with so many well-trained knights at this age!
"Move! Take him down, then go and apprehend the wanted criminals!"
A group of cavalrymen, wielding spears, swarmed forward.
"Ping ping ping..."
A moment later, Shen Yunhao looked at the knights fleeing in the distance with disdain.
"Do you really think I'm a child? I'm thirty-eight this year... no, thirty-nine!"
If you factor in the years spanning two lifetimes, that's indeed the amount...
