Not long after she left, Yuebai lay flat on his back among the flowers, his hands resting on the back of his head, and sighed softly, "I didn't expect that in this life... I would be late."
The next day, a carriage came out from the Ghost Gate. It was dawn and still shrouded in a thick fog. Jiuxi sat on the small couch in the carriage, drank a sip of tea, and said to Su Jiu, "You and Yuebai, good things are coming soon, right?"
Su Jiu looked unhappy, but when he thought of Yue Bai still sitting outside the carriage, pulling the reins, he couldn't help but shout, "In my heart, there is only my brother Gong Ci!"
Unexpectedly, Su Jiu was also so arrogant. Jiu Xi smiled and said, "I can see that he is sincere to you."
Su Jiu looked at Jiuxi's closed eyes, took the teacup from her clenched hand, placed it on the low table, and said, "It's you who should take good care of your health. Only the Lord is willing to follow your wishes."
There was full of envy in his words.
Jiuxi's mouth twitched as he patiently explained, "It's a small village outside Yangzhou... Just like last time, all the villagers disappeared without a trace. Bringing me to Yangzhou was just a coincidence."
The carriage was spacious, but only Jiuxi and Sujiu were seated there. Outside, Mingye sat beside Yuebai, listening to the laughter and chatter inside. He couldn't help but curl his lips. Looking at Yuebai's worried face, he patted her shoulder and said, "When we get to Yangzhou City, I'll take you to a nice place!"
He spoke with such pride that even Yuebai, who had been stunned for a long time, turned his eyes and said, "Brothel?"
Yuebai's voice was not loud, but someone in the carriage heard it clearly. After a while, an angry voice came from the carriage, "Jialou Mingye, you are so brave! It's okay to go alone, but you also want to bring the Immortal Lord with you!"
Mingye lifted the curtain and opened the door. Looking at Jiuxi's furious face, he hurriedly explained, "Axi, listen to me. A ghost messenger reported that he saw the girl in the brothel in the village where the incident happened! I really haven't been there!"
Although, he was teasing Yuebai just now, he dared to swear that he had never been there.
He bent down and sat next to Jiuxi, holding her cold hand, putting it against his face, and said, "I really didn't go, believe me."
Jiuxi frowned and said, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Ming Ye resigned himself to his fate and tidied up the messy couch behind Jiuxi. His skillful movements were like those of an old maid who had served Jiuxi for hundreds of years without a single complaint. After folding the silk quilt that had been kicked beyond recognition by Jiuxi, Ming Ye pulled out a drawer on the couch and took out a porcelain bottle. Then, he swiftly got off the couch, sat down next to Jiuxi, uncorked the bottle, and said, "I'll apply the medicine for you."
Jiuxi pouted, as if she was still angry. She dragged her cheek without saying a word, and her puffed-up look was really cute.
Mingye dipped a small wooden stick in some ointment and skillfully applied it to her eyelids. The cool feeling was indeed pleasant. She said, "Then you have to take me to the brothel."
She was blind now, and Mingye had planned to sneak into the brothel with Yuebai, pretending to be clients. But now that she had spoken, he nodded and said, "But you can't be impulsive."
The cold wind blew, and Yuebai's robe rustled. The more Yuebai thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He just wanted to find a place to teach Su Jiu a lesson. He couldn't vent his anger, so he used a little more strength in his hands, and the horse jumped up and down. The carriage also rolled over successfully, and angry shouts came from inside.
