Yan Liang crippled Xiao Mimi's martial arts and carried her to the government office. He had stayed here before when he came from Jiangnan, but the prefect had never seen him. Now, when Yan Liang went back, the prefect heard the news and rushed out to see him.
Upon seeing Yan Liang for the first time, the prefect was taken aback, thinking to himself that this man was clearly a handsome young man, quite unlike the terrifying and monstrous figure described in the rumors. Despite his thoughts, the prefect bowed to Yan Liang. He was always cautious and respectful towards people from the martial arts world, and even though this young man smiled like a spring breeze and seemed harmless, he dared not treat him casually.
Yan Liang, however, was quite casual. He took the matter very seriously, so he stayed behind and told the prefect about how he had captured Xiao Mimi and crippled her martial arts. The prefect had already confirmed Xiao Mimi's identity beforehand, and nodded upon hearing this.
After discussing for a while, Yan Liang got up to take his leave and departed gracefully under the watchful eyes of the prefect.
Yi Yaoqing and Xuan Yuantianjiu were waiting for him at the inn. When Yan Liangqing walked in with a cheerful air, Yi Yaoqing asked, "All done?"
Yan Liang nodded: "It's done."
They stood and sat, facing each other three steps apart.
Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu, caught between the two, felt an inexplicable strangeness in the atmosphere.
Seeing that he didn't ask, Yi Yaoqing finally couldn't help but say, "I'll go with you two."
Yan Liang smiled: "It seems someone said before that continuing to follow me would be foolish—"
Yi Yaoqing: "Who? How come I don't know them?"
Yan Liang laughed and said, "I must have remembered wrong, there is no such person."
Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu recalled the conversation between the two men after they stuffed Xiao Mimi into the carriage and stood aside. He had been listening to it at the time, and now he suddenly understood.
Having experienced the tranquility of riding in a carriage, Yi Yaoqing began to dislike horseback riding—in this hot, stuffy, and annoying weather, it was exhausting and thankless, naturally not as pleasant as sitting in a carriage.
The three of them discussed and divided the tasks, and then stayed in the city for another night. The next morning, Yan Liang drove the carriage out of the city.
The carriage belonged to Xiao Mimi, but Yan Liang and Xiao Mimi used it without any guilt. Not to mention Xuan Yuan Tianjiu, the money bag he carried also belonged to Xiao Mimi.
Shortly after setting off, Yan Liang told Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu about his affairs with Yi Hua Palace. Yi Yao Qing chimed in—although she had said she couldn't say, she didn't mind Yan Liang telling her. Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu was naturally shocked, but after the shock came helplessness. Yan Liang patted his shoulder to comfort him: "It's alright. Once we kidnap Jiang Qin and hand her over to Palace Master Yao Yue, this matter will probably be over."
Xuanyuan Tianjiu: ...It's not over yet, is it?
Yi Yaoqing glanced at the person who spoke without any basis or thought, and silently looked away.
They divided the driving duties and continued their journey. With nothing else to do, Yan Liang chatted with Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu about this and that. Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu would always answer him seriously. This time, he suddenly remembered this question and couldn't help but ask him casually.
Why would you dress up as a girl and dance the Qiqiao Dance in that town?
Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu frankly said, "I learned the art of disguise from Tu Jiao Jiao. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I'm alright. That time, Xiao Mi Mi was bored and forced me to dance."
Yan Liang became interested: "Tu Jiaojiao...do you still know her?"
Xuanyuan Tianjiu said, "We just know each other. She stayed at my house for two months."
Yan Liang seemed to be deep in thought. Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu had only studied with Tu Jiao Jiao for two months, yet he had mastered the art of disguise. It was hard to say whether the student or the teacher was more outstanding, or perhaps both.
Tu Jiaojiao's appearance is a mystery, and she is known as "neither male nor female" due to her superb disguise skills. Xuan Yuan Tianjiu's disguise skills are not bad, and can even be said to be high, but all disguise skills are no match for Yan Liang. He can always quickly distinguish the real person under the disguise.
For example, Sikong Zhaixing, Wuhua, and Wang Lianhua.
If we're talking about someone who's "neither male nor female"... Wang Lianhua certainly deserves that title.
Yan Liang chuckled as he thought about the past, a smile spreading across his lips. Xuan Yuan Tianjiu watched silently from the side. The young man was clearly close at hand, yet seemed to be separated from him by an insurmountable chasm. His heart sank, and he turned his face away sadly.
Whether this person was Feng Lai who had truly lost his memory, or someone else with Feng Lai's face, it made Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu very sad.
＊
The closer they got to the Jiang family in Jiangnan, the wider the news spread in the martial arts world about Yan Liang regaining his appearance.
"Deadly King" always had a smile on his face, but because of the mottled scars on his face, he looked like a demon. Now that he has regained his true appearance, he still beats people without mercy as always, but his smile has changed. He smiles like a spring breeze, and his figure is elegant, like an immortal.
The female knight who had the good fortune to see the "Deadly King of Hell" after he regained his true appearance smiled shyly when she mentioned him, her eyes filled with longing, and said dreamily: "Young Master Yan is handsome and dashing, and he is four points more handsome than Jiang Yulang."
The fact that someone could be four points more handsome than the "most handsome man in the world" naturally attracted the curiosity of many people. Yan Liang became famous once again, somewhat similar to when he first debuted. He became famous because of his looks, and he also became famous because of his looks.
Some people with too much free time made up a sentence for "Deadly King Yama" to describe how drastic his appearance changes.
"A deadly demon with the face of a devil, yet a handsome young man with a charming smile."
Everyone has a love for beauty and a desire for strength, and Yan Liang possesses both. He also acts with a kind of inexplicable integrity that others cannot understand or achieve. Suddenly, the number of people who want to see Yan Liang increases exponentially, causing trouble for the three people heading to Jiangnan.
After being harassed no less than five times, Yan Liang resolutely chose to put on a fox mask when he got off the carriage in the sweltering summer heat.
"You brought this on yourself. Wouldn't it have been better to put on a mask sooner?"
Yi Yaoqing didn't hold back in criticizing him, accusing him of thinking too late.
"It's summer!" Yan Liang exclaimed in shock. "Are you trying to suffocate me?"
Yi Yaoqing remained silent, her expression clearly saying: I'll keep you quiet.
Xuanyuan Tianjiu glanced at the fox mask that completely covered Yan Liang's face and suggested, "Why don't we fold down the lower half of this mask and only cover the eyes?"
The two looked at him, and Yan Liang exclaimed in amazement at his wit: "As expected of Brother Tian Jiu!"
Yi Yaoqing: "As expected of Brother Tianjiu, who is much smarter than Yan Liang."
Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu's lips twitched slightly, feeling helpless and speechless.
These two are clearly at odds, and he always ends up getting dragged into it.
Yi Yaoqing and Xuan Yuantianjiu were not lively people, but Yan Liang was a really strange person. Being with him would make even the most taciturn person talk more.
At least Yi Yaoqing has completely let go, like a wild horse that has broken free, no longer the calm and taciturn person she was in the Yihua Palace—it seems to be her true nature.
After that, Yan Liang would hide the half of the mask when he beat someone up, and immediately put the mask back on and run away after beating someone up. The number of people coming to cause trouble for him decreased noticeably.
They arrived at the Jiang family in Jiangnan without any problems. Yi Yaoqing and Xuan Yuantianjiu stayed at the inn, while Yan Liang went to the Jiang family to pay a visit.
When Butler Jiang saw Yan Liang, he was somewhat hesitant to recognize him. After a moment of hesitation, Yan Liang spoke first, and the old man finally showed a look of sudden realization.
"Although Jiang Qin said that Young Master Yan's appearance has been restored, he is so different that I didn't recognize him at all," Steward Jiang said with shame.
Yan Liang comforted him with a smile. The handsome young man's smile was very endearing. Once Butler Jiang started talking to him, he couldn't help but say a lot.
Jiang Qin's excuse to Jiang the housekeeper was that Jiang Feng had recovered from his injuries and was currently traveling with his sweetheart to strengthen their relationship.
While worrying about Jiang Feng's injuries, Butler Jiang was also curious about what kind of person his young master's sweetheart was. Yan Liang followed his thoughts and told him what he wanted to know, trying his best to put his mind at ease.
"I've finished my business at home and I'm about to go on a trip with my friends. We'll be passing through Jiangnan, and I'm thinking of Jiang Qin. I wonder if we could have him come along? If we run into Jiang Feng, he might be able to help us out."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yan Liang made his request.
Butler Jiang felt that something was amiss, but Yan Liang's words made a lot of sense. He was also worried about whether his young master would be inconvenienced while he was away, so he nodded in agreement.
Jiang Qin and the young master are like brothers, so she would probably be willing to go.
Jiang, the housekeeper, thought so, and told Jiang Qin about his decision with a smile after she returned.
Yan Liang stood beside Steward Jiang and smiled kindly at him. Jiang Qin's face turned ashen for a moment, as if she had swallowed a fly, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a fawning smile, "It is my honor to travel with Young Master Yan."
Yan Liang replied modestly, "Not at all."
Jiang Qin: ...Tch.
Jiang Qin, true to her wicked ways, returned and learned that the people who first knew Jiang Feng was in Anyi Town had not yet returned. She remained silent for half a month, and then secretly spread the new information again.
He was in high spirits, but his mood plummeted after seeing Yan Liang. First, he didn't want to travel with him, and second, he didn't understand Yan Liang's purpose. It was one thing for Steward Jiang not to know, but Yan Liang had personally told him that Jiang Feng and his sweetheart were hiding in Xiaoyi Town, Qingyun Mountain, from the pursuit of Yihua Palace.
Jiang Qin was puzzled and confused. When the steward left and only the two of them were left, she quietly asked Yan Liang. Yan Liang looked serious and hesitated to speak. He said a lot of ambiguous things and only told Jiang Qin to go to the inn to find him after saying goodbye to the steward on the day she left.
Yan Liang's performance was quite intimidating. Jiang Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she thought about many things, unable to sleep well all night.
That evening, after hearing Yan Liang's account, Yi Yaoqing was a little doubtful: "Will he really come? If he doesn't, should we go and kidnap him?"
“He will come,” Yan Liang said lazily. “He can’t stand to see Jiang Feng doing well. If Jiang Feng is in danger, he’ll be overjoyed. What I said is ambiguous, and he will definitely come to me to verify it.”
Just as Yan Liang said, Jiang Qin came to the inn to find them on the agreed day, carrying the bundle that Steward Jiang had prepared for them.
Yan Liang was a scoundrel. Putting aside Yi Yaoqing's identity, after Xuan Yuan Tian Jiu started driving the carriage, he introduced Yi Yaoqing to Jiang Qin: "This is Miss Yi Yaoqing, who once took care of my Yi Hua Palace disciple."
Jiang Qin: "...????!"
Yi Yaoqing nodded to him and said calmly, "Palace Mistress Yaoyue ordered me to come and bring you back to the palace."
Yan Liang leaned against the carriage wall, a mysterious smile on his face.
He is good-looking, and his smile is very pleasing to the eye.
But in Jiang Qin's eyes, there was only ill intent.
At this moment, Jiang Qin really wanted to get off the bus.
However, the carriage sped up, seemingly determined not to give him a chance to jump out. The summer breeze lifted the curtain and poured into the carriage, bringing with it waves of heat.
Jiang Qin felt a lump in her throat; her mood was as suffocating as the steamy train carriage.
Author's Note: #Scenes of Jiang Qin's Persecution#
Jiang Qin: ……………day.
The next target is to persecute Jiang Qin!

Regarding the line "The devilish face of a deadly demon, the handsome young man's smile," I actually initially thought of "charming" instead of "smile," hahaha.
"A deadly demon with the appearance of a devil, a handsome young man with the charm of a gentleman."
The first thing that popped up was this hahaha, but then I thought about how Yan Liang isn't spoiled, so I changed it to a smile _(:з」∠)_
I tried my best to rhyme this sentence, but please just take a look. Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants between 2020-04-23 23:15:16 and 2020-04-24 23:06:50!
