Night without Borders

Chapter 61 A suspected old friend is coming

The two men were relatively tall, and the golden armor on their bodies was not dim in the night, which was similar to the Six Dings and Six Jias circulated in some regions.

Qin Ming felt that these two people were very extraordinary. There was a strong vitality in their bodies. Their vigorous spirit and blood had penetrated through their armor and could not be concealed.

He had never seen these four people before. The most eye-catching one was naturally the woman in the lead.

Qin Ming's first impression of her was that she was beautiful. She was extremely stunning at first glance, and when he looked at her more closely, she seemed even more eye-catching.

Li Qingyue had stopped and was standing calmly on the side of the road.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, her figure was as slender and beautiful as a willow, her sleeves fluttered in the wind, in this thick night, there was no fire spring outside the town, but she gave people the feeling of raising clouds, as if to dispel the night fog.

Qin Ming didn't look at it any further and rode the Purple Lightning Beast to rush past.

The little maid opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she thought about what her mistress had said, that it was not appropriate to recognize her, she closed her mouth again.

Qin Ming caught her expression keenly, and the late night could not stop him from looking at her now.

At the same time he noticed that the woman seemed to be looking at him.

Qin Ming was surprised and couldn't help but glance at her.

The two were so close that he could even see the texture on the other's hair.

The woman was dressed in a silver feathered robe, without any makeup, and her face was delicate and impeccable. She stood there like a bright moon breaking through the clouds, seeming to be glowing in the dark night, with a clear and beautiful body, and extremely elegant.

Qin Ming was attacked by an outsider who could turn into mist not long ago, and two years ago he was seriously injured by a young man in feathered clothes and almost died. Finally, he ended up stranded in this remote place.

Therefore, he was somewhat resistant to outsiders.

Although the woman in the silver feathered clothes was extremely beautiful, Qin Ming only glanced at her calmly and rode away on his beast.

Li Qingyue turned around and looked at his leaving back.

She had previously thought that it was inappropriate for them to meet again, but they met here. She was still thinking about whether to speak, but the other party was so indifferent, without stopping, and rushed past.

Li Qingyue frowned slightly. She was not wearing a veil, so it was impossible for the other party not to recognize her. However, her eyes were so calm and deep, without any ripples.

She was a little surprised. In more than two years, they had changed so much that she actually experienced "things have changed and people have changed" in advance.

The maid said, "Miss, is there something going on between you and him? I feel something is wrong. You think it's inappropriate to meet again. He seems to be more indifferent than you, even colder. If we hadn't looked at him just now, he wouldn't have looked at you. He's so cold and heartless!"

Li Qingyue shook her head and said, "What are you thinking about? He and I were once friends, so there's no such thing as a messy relationship."

The maid suddenly realized, then nodded and said, "His last name is Cui. Miss, you are from the same circle, right? That's all."

Li Qingyue said, "A lot of things happened two years ago. All the people I knew went their separate ways. Some became outsiders, some started a new life very early, some became celebrities, and some gradually became mediocre. Although they still have extraordinary family backgrounds, many things are different now. I don't know why he came here."

"What kind of person was that just now?" the maid asked in a low and cautious voice.

"A somewhat unreal person, let's go." Li Qingyue took the lead and walked towards Qingsong Town.

……

"Strange, yet a little familiar." Qin Ming pondered on the way.

He secretly assessed that the woman in feathered clothes was so slender and graceful. If he didn't use those unpredictable means of outsiders, he felt that he could knock her away with one punch based on her physique alone.

He shook his head, hit the purple lightning beast with his broken spear, and flew away at a high speed.

"Well, you can leave now." Qin Ming kept his word. After the Purple Lightning Beast ran a long circle, it was now eighty miles away from Shuangshu Village, so he planned to let it go.

The purple electric beast was surprised. It had originally prepared for the worst and would endure the humiliation for the time being. If it wanted to teach this kid a lesson next time, it would make him call it "Queen"!
It was really beyond its expectation that it was allowed to leave at this time.

"Are you not leaving yet? What are you daydreaming about?" Qin Ming kicked it on the butt.

The purple lightning beast was shocked and angry, and it rushed out dozens of meters. After turning around, it stretched out one of its front hooves and pointed at him, growling softly, but no one knew what it was saying.

"Why are you yelling? Don't you want to live anymore?" Qin Ming weighed the broken spear.

The purple lightning beast was frightened and jumped more than ten meters away, then disappeared into the dense forest.

Qin Ming started his return journey, but instead of following the original route, he took a long detour. On the way, he entered a dense forest, buried all his armor, swords, guns, bows and arrows deep in the forest, and discarded them completely.

He felt that he would not need to wear armor in the future. After integrating various types of heavenly light energy and spreading it over his body, his defense was far stronger than that of armor.

The old golden rooster, which had mutated five times, was able to cut through his fine armor when performing the Phoenix Single Wing, but was unable to penetrate his body-protecting Sky Light.

Qin Ming set off lightly with a mutton-fat jade iron knife on his back, and his speed immediately increased significantly.

He walked into the village silently in the snow. Since he left home in the early evening, it was not too late to come back now. Qin Ming was in a good mood. After all, he flattened Jinji Ridge single-handedly!

"After a long night of rushing, traveling, and fighting, I'm actually a little hungry." He first ate some fruits from Bison Ridge, and soon the steaming copper pot beef was cooked.

In the mountains, the purple lightning beast was extremely angry and was banging against the trees. Some trees as thick as buckets were broken by it.

A white owl flew over and advised it to calm down and there was no need to get angry.

Then, it asked in a low voice: "Have you gone to see the mountain master? Can you get the Yin-Yang Medicine?"

"There was something fishy about that old boar. He ran away before I could get close to him," said the Purple Lightning Beast.

The white owl reminded: "In this area, it is better to call it the mountain master. What's the problem?"

"The old wild boar has been replaced!" said Zidian Beast.

Owl was surprised: "Who replaced him?"

The Purple Lightning Beast said, “I suspect it is most likely the old white-haired beast that cried at the grave that year. It did not die, nor did it run away. Instead, it became the master of the mountain.”

"What should we do? Now everyone knows that the roots and trunks of the ancient trees in the Black and White Mountains have been nourished by the sunlight and turned into yin and yang medicine. All parties are pressuring to get them. Especially outsiders, who are most envious of this herb that contains yin and yang. If too many people are interested in it, can you still get it?"

"Please help, elders. I can't handle it myself." Zi Dian Beast sighed helplessly.

Then, it was shaking with anger again, and said, "Go and check carefully a man who looks like he was born four or five times. Excluding locals, you can tell from his accent that he is from the big city where the aristocratic family is. Find out who has come to the Black and White Mountains recently. Once he falls into my hands, I will kick his head off!"

When Zidianmon thinks back on it now, it felt like it was about to explode, and then it hurried off to take a hot spring bath, as if it wanted to wash away the shame.

Qin Ming usually speaks with a pure local accent, but ever since those broken pictures and various blurry scenes kept appearing in his mind, he also learned to speak with a distant accent. Tonight he naturally pretended to be an outsider.

When he was counting the spoils, he accidentally found some papers stuck in a book. They turned out to be letters between the two bandits and an old senior among the gold thieves from afar.

"The gold thieves are colluding with the outsiders. Could the man who can turn into mist be a beast from the outside world?"

Qin Ming didn't care about that. All the lines were broken at Jinjiling anyway.

The next day, he woke up early and felt full of energy. After fulfilling his wish to kill the bandits, he thought it was time to travel far away.

"Xiao Qin!" Old man Liu came to knock on the door early in the morning. When he saw Qin Ming at home, he was completely relieved.

"Done." Qin Ming only said two simple words.

Old Liu knew that he had gone on a long journey last night to do something important. Hearing such a response, he excitedly took a deep breath, otherwise he would have wanted to roar loudly.

"You are really amazing!" Old man Liu exclaimed in amazement. After Qin Ming was reborn three times, he could actually kill powerful bandits and destroy Jinjiling alone!

After learning about the situation here, he went home contentedly, opened a jar of good wine he had brought back from the mountain patrol team, and then drank it happily.

He knew that within two days, there would be major disturbances in this area.

"Yongqing, come and have a drink with me." Old man Liu called Yang Yongqing who was sitting next door.

"Uncle Liu, I'm going to become a bandit soon, so I don't have the mood to drink!"

Old Liu smiled and said, "You haven't gone yet, have fun today, maybe they will change their minds and not force people to go to Jinji Ridge."

Yang Yongqing sighed, "Unless they are all dead, how can it be possible with their overbearing personalities?"

Qin Ming is waiting for the incident to break out. If he travels far away now and disappears from here, some people may find it abnormal.

He was studying the three newly acquired books, two of which were probably written by two great bandits to teach the new students of Jinjiling, but he simply looked down upon them.

Only the old book with yellowed paper attracted his great attention. He was studying it, and the new method mentioned in it was quite powerful. The Tianguang Jin mentioned in it was quite special. It was a soft force that emphasized to overcome hardness with softness, and it also corresponded to a unique skill - the Yellow Mud Palm.

Qin Ming has not studied it in detail yet, so he took a quick look at the overall structure. Just looking at the names of the palm techniques, he felt that they were not very powerful.

However, a later person who read the book carefully left notes, in which he mentioned that after he mastered the Yellow Mud Palm, he once killed a hermit.

Qin Ming whispered: "It seems that people from the outside have an incomparable sense of oppression towards those who take other paths. Killing a person from the outside made this master so excited that he even recorded this brilliant achievement in his treasured secret book."

Speaking of which, he had already met people from other worlds before he even left this remote place.

Naturally, he couldn't help but think of the woman in feathered clothes he met last night. She seemed really familiar.

Qin Ming was deep in thought, and the woman's exquisite face appeared in his mind. That kind of elegant temperament was quite rare. The more he thought about it, the more familiar it seemed to him.

Until the end, some fragmented images emerged in his mind, and he recognized it!
"No wonder, she stopped by the roadside and looked at me with a strange look in her eyes, she must have recognized me. I was hit hard in the past and forgot some things, and I just started to recollect them recently. She stood there, we met but she didn't recognize me, was she intentionally avoiding something?"
