The premise for taking money from the Zhao family's shops is that the Zhao family still has shops and that the Zhao family still has sufficient control over these shops. Therefore, she will naturally help the Zhao family maintain its strength and even ensure that the Zhao family continues to exist.
Ye Qin'er could also see this, and opened her mouth to remind Lin Xueyi, but when she saw Lin Xueyi turn around and smile at her, she knew that this girl must have already thought of this problem.
"Zhao Yuxuan, look at your father, and look at yourself. You only gave your master a pot, why don't you take the blame yourself?"
Lin Xueyi, who was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, glared at her apprentice, thinking that he was really stupid.
Zhao Yuxuan, who was once again angrily scolded by his master, said that he was innocent. "Master, I am a man who is about to get married. If I don't save up some money now, it will be bad if I am short of money in the future."
Lin Xueyi stared wide-eyed in shock. "Listen to this! Is this human language? Is this what a disciple should say to a master who's still single? If we don't give him a good beating, a real socialist beating, how can we be worthy of this wicked disciple?"
"Brother Xuan, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Look how angry you've made Xueyi. Go find somewhere to play. When Sister Yu'er comes, I'll make her teach you a lesson."
While Zhao Yuqing was talking about Zhao Yuxuan, she pulled Lin Xueyi aside and carefully took out a pill from the small pot.
"This is a recovery pill I made myself. It can only restore a small amount of strength. It's not a powerful medicine, but it can still be of some use in battle. Just make do with it and don't mind it."
Looking at the brown pill, which still emitted a pleasant fragrance, Lin Xueyi carefully placed it into a small bottle she carried with her.
"I will keep it close to my body. I will definitely use it in a suitable place."
Seeing Lin Xueyi's serious expression, Zhao Yuqing resisted the urge to hug her before turning around.
Seeing that everything was almost ready, Lin Xueyi quietly decided on her departure date. She glanced at Ye Qin'er and Zhao Yuqing, feeling a pang of reluctance; after all, they had spent quite some time together.
"Everything is almost ready. I'll leave tomorrow and try to come back as soon as possible."
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. I haven't bought you enough clean clothes yet. Wait one more day."
Upon hearing that Lin Xueyi was leaving tomorrow, Ye Qin'er was the first to become restless. She had originally planned to buy clothes for another day so that Lin Xueyi would have more clothes to change into.
Lin Xueyi silently complained, "This isn't enough. My clothes already fill an entire wardrobe. This isn't enough. How much is enough?"
"At least change your clothes every day, and you don't have to wash them. Besides, little girl, can you even wash your own clothes?"
That one sentence really stung. Lin Xueyi wanted to tell her confidently that she couldn't hand wash, but had heard of a fully automatic washing machine. However, reality is always so frustrating. There are no fully automatic washing machines in this world.
Just when Ye Qin'er felt she had won again after seeing Lin Xueyi's silence, Lin Xueyi asked her a question in return.
"I can buy new clothes along the way; these clothes must be worn out by now."
Ah... This left her speechless. Why was this girl suddenly so clever? Ye Qin'er wasn't unwilling to refute, but Lin Xueyi was holding her slender waist.
"Just wait for me here. I'll be back safely. Sister Qin'er, please take good care of yourself too."
Main Text: Chapter 151 Heading to Xiaoyao City
Azure skies, yellow leaves, and lush green grass stretching to the horizon. *Ahem, sorry, wrong channel* Lin Xueyi looked at the neatly arranged carts of supplies at the city gate and felt her head throbbing with veins.
She had gotten up an hour early specifically to prevent these people from taking these things on the road, which was quite rare, so how did she manage to be discovered?
"Silly girl, we knew you were going to sneak away. We got up early to have people pack your things. Take all these supplies with you. A convoy will also take you to Jinpeng Fort, the closest fortress to the mountains. They won't follow you there anymore. Is that alright?"
Zhao Yuqing knew what Lin Xueyi was worried about, but she couldn't carry all that stuff herself, so she needed a convoy to help her.
However, Lin Xueyi did not want that. She only wanted to go to Xiaoyao City alone, and with enough silver, she didn't need to bring so much food or anything.
"Xueyi, take them with you. If you need food along the way, you won't be without it."
Zhao Yuqing also tried to persuade Lin Xueyi, hoping she would listen to her and lead the convoy to Jinpeng Fort. But Lin Xueyi firmly shook her head.
"No, I'm going myself this time. You can do whatever you want with everything else, but this is absolutely not allowed."
I don’t understand why Lin Xueyi is so stubborn and refuses to let the convoy go with us, but then I see Lin Xueyi lightly stomp her foot and her figure has already shot off into the distance.
"Sister Qin'er, wait for me here. If you suffer any injustice here, I will settle accounts with all the martial arts forces in Luoxie City."
The leaders of the various martial arts factions, who had initially thought they would be carefree after Lin Xueyi left, couldn't help but swear upon hearing this clear voice.
The girl is gone, but she left behind a powerful man, and one that no one can afford to offend. Anyone who dares to displease this Ye Qin'er will become the public enemy of the entire Luo Xie City.
As for Lin Xueyi, she had already slowly landed on the official road some distance away from Luoxie City. She turned her head to look at the now blurred Luoxie City, a strange smile appearing on her lips, as if mocking, or perhaps with some other meaning.
"Hey, now that's great, we can go out and see the world properly."
Just as she was about to take a step, she suddenly realized something very important: she had come out, but where was her horse? She didn't have a horse. She couldn't possibly walk all the way to Xiaoyao City; that would be too embarrassing.
A true hero should be riding through the world, so how could I have completely forgotten about horses? Luckily, I have some money, so I can still go to the nearest village to buy one.
Lin Xueyi straightened her small backpack, which contained several hundred taels of silver that she had brought from the Zhao family. These were the most useful things she had on this trip.
"Ahhh. Here I come to this martial world."
Although it wasn't her first time traveling alone, this was her first time venturing into the martial world alone in Qingzhou, and she felt a little excited. However, she also had some worries, concerned about Ye Qin'er's safety in Luoxie City.
Meanwhile, in some dark places in Roche, different kinds of words were being spoken.
"Lin Xueyi has already left? Given her dislike of waking up early, shouldn't she have left in the afternoon? How come she left so soon?"
Feng San Niang looked at the Netherworld Ghost Valley disciple who brought the message in astonishment. This pace was completely beyond her expectations. If her own Valley Master knew that she had lost Lin Xueyi, he would probably throw her out of the valley.
"It seems that she chose to leave secretly beforehand to prevent anyone from following her."
"Afraid of being followed? Could it be that she's discovered us? No, regardless of whether she's discovered us or not, we need to have people follow her immediately. That girl is heading to Xiaoyao City, deep in those mountains. If she gets lost, we'll be doomed."
Feng San Niang knew how important Lin Xueyi was to her Valley Master. Although she was still somewhat conflicted, she could still distinguish what was important.
"You guys, send a message to the outposts in the towns along the way, and tell them to buy plenty of daily necessities, especially food that can be stored for a long time. Be sure to guard against the girl running out of supplies."
"Yes, we'll get ready right away."
Watching the disciples rush out, Feng San Niang couldn't help but rub her forehead in exasperation. This girl really was causing trouble.
Meanwhile, in a slightly nicer courtyard, several women dressed in white, carrying long swords, stood in front of a woman in green.
"We never expected the young lady to possess such wisdom. We underestimated her this time. However, you must not let your guard down. Although the young lady is a Grandmaster-level expert, she still needs us to protect her safety and prevent any petty villains from harming her in the dark."
"I understand, but since the young lady has already left Luoshe City, shouldn't we do our best to catch up?"
The woman in green smiled slightly. She wasn't too worried about Lin Xueyi's situation. "It may seem unsafe for the young lady to travel alone, but she's actually much safer without any burdens. Besides, she didn't ride a horse when she left. If we ride at full speed, we can definitely catch up with her."
He paused briefly before continuing, "The most urgent task now is to prepare all the supplies. The young lady went empty-handed this time and probably doesn't know the situation along the way. You should all quickly have the forces along the route that have good relations with us prepare enough supplies in advance."
"Understood, I will arrange it immediately."
The woman in green also looked at her departing subordinates, a happy smile on her face. Her young mistress was so clever and capable, and as her subordinate, she was naturally very happy.
In the last, slightly dark room, a strange sound also came from.
"Lin Xueyi has already left?"
Yes, they've already left.
"Then we've done all the preparations, right?"
"It's all ready. The people in Xiaoyao City have already received the news, and we have a trump card. If possible, we'll make sure she dies in Xiaoyao City."
"Kill her? I remember my request was to capture her alive."
"The cost of capturing him alive is too high. It's better to kill him. Besides, a grandmaster who wasn't part of our plan adds a lot of uncertainty to our operation."
"Oh? I think this variable might be a good thing. Wouldn't it be better if we had the help of a Grandmaster?"
Main Text: Chapter 152 The Masked Woman Xiao Lingsha
Galloping on horseback? That's impossible. A tiny little girl riding a tall horse is inherently incongruous. And right now, her biggest thought is regret. Yes, regret.
She bought a brown horse in a small town along the way, hoping to experience the feeling of galloping on horseback, just like the heroes she used to watch on TV. However, when she sat on the horse, her legs couldn't even reach the stirrups. How could she gallop like that? If the horse dealer hadn't taken advantage of her young age and specially found her the most docile horse, she probably would have been thrown off.
So, on the official road now, a little girl is nervously holding the horse's reins, carefully guiding the horse forward slowly.
Beside her, one after another galloped past without stopping, leaving her in the dust. Even though she didn't have road rage, Lin Xueyi was still quite annoyed.
Throughout the journey, especially when people passed her, she could almost hear them deliberately increasing the sound of their whips as they passed. It was clearly a provocation, a clear act of defiance.
Of course, this is all an illusion. When you exceed the speed limit, you should naturally speed up the horse. This is common sense, but Lin Xueyi, who has never ridden a horse before, did not know this.
She thought it was something these people did on purpose, so when she was almost at her breaking point, she finally saw a small tea shop by the roadside. These small tea shops usually provide food and water for passing merchants.
Just as Lin Xueyi was about to rush over, she suddenly heard a "Watch out" from behind her, and then a figure flew past from the side, followed by several dark figures.
"Are you guys never going to stop? I've already said I'm not going home, I'm not going home, why are you still chasing me?"
"Young Miss, please come back with us. If we don't go back soon, the master will beat us to death."
Following the slender figure were several men. Judging from their conversation, they were a family, so Lin Xueyi had no intention of going over to help.
From a distance, the slender figure appeared to be a woman. As for her appearance, Lin Xueyi had taken a look when she passed by, only to find that she was wearing a ghost mask, which was rather disappointing.
She would never admit that she chose to remain on the sidelines and not offer help precisely because she hadn't seen the other person's true colors.
Lin Xueyi didn't think too much about this little incident. She was already riding her pony, slowly making her way to the front of the small tea shop. The blue curtain was lifted, and the once lively place suddenly fell silent after Lin Xueyi entered.
"Hey, I heard there's a young Grandmaster-level expert, around this age, right?"
A small voice reached Lin Xueyi's ears, but before she could even smile, she heard a voice from the other side, "Don't talk nonsense. It's said that the grandmaster has three heads and six arms, a blue face and fangs. Even the so-called chosen ones of heaven sometimes have some strange and peculiar features."
Lin Xueyi was a little confused by these words. Who spread this rumor? Although she wasn't exactly handsome, she couldn't be described as having three heads and six arms, or a blue-faced monster with fangs.
With black lines and bulging veins, Lin Xueyi only wanted to slap this bastard who was spreading rumors for no reason and beat him up. If he were a man, he would have gritted his teeth and accepted the wrath of the transmigrator.
"What kind of rumors are these? It is said that although that grandmaster is young, her cultivation is high and she is very beautiful, but she has a bad temper and is very willful."
I just sat down, and then I heard someone say "willful" again? When have I ever been willful? So what on earth are these rumors going around? And who started them?
"Young lady, what would you like to eat? We have boiled mutton, cooked beef, and some sesame flatbread. When you're traveling, you should bring some food that can be stored."
The waiter was talking, but his hands didn't stop. After wiping the table, he put the teapot on the table.
"Give me some cooked beef, some sliced boiled lamb, and..."
"Give me another plate of dried fruit, two plates of green vegetables, and three sesame seed cakes. Ah, and a pot of liquor too."
Before Lin Xueyi could finish ordering, she heard a somewhat familiar voice behind her. It was the woman who had just passed by her.
Sure enough, following the sound, one could see a woman wearing a ghost mask. Although her expression was obscured, her relaxed tone suggested that she had definitely shaken off the men who had been chasing her.
"Miss, I didn't bring any money, I don't know..."
Is this considered coming here to freeload? Lin Xueyi really wanted to roll her eyes at her, but considering that the other person's voice was very pleasant, Lin Xueyi nodded.
"Sit down, this meal is on me." Anyway, I have several hundred taels of silver on me, so I don't care about this little bit of food.
I bet you won't eat without taking off that mask. A girl with such a lovely voice can't be too bad-looking, right? I watched her sit on the ground with a bit of anticipation.
