The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Meng Fusheng had still wanted to tease Yang Jian, but the petite and fragile figure hiding under the tree suddenly attracted his gaze.

“Who is she?” Meng Fusheng pointed at that young girl with a look of confusion.

The young girl squatting under the tree looked a little pitiful. Upon seeing Meng Fusheng, she seemed flustered and instinctively turned to look at Yang Jian who had saved her, as if it could keep her safe.

“I don’t know,” Yang Jian said seriously.

Meng Fusheng was no fool. After all, he had stayed at the Free Valley for so many years. One look at the young girl’s pitiful look and he could already guess her situation. He took a few steps towards the young girl and she immediately hid behind the tree in a panic, leaving only her terrified eyes looking out.

“Miss, don’t be afraid. I won’t harm you. Did you escape to Free Valley because you had no way else to go?” Meng Fusheng softened the tone in his voice.

That young girl nodded, but her eyes still looked towards Yang Jian once in a while.

Meng Fusheng became clear of the situation—it was most likely a case of a pitiful person who was being pursued, and the group that Yang Jian had killed was the pursuing troop.

Nevertheless…

Meng Fusheng noticed that the people who had died outside the Free Valley were dressed strangely and did not seem to be ordinary soldiers. They were wearing neat armours and had a unique badge on them.

Meng Fusheng immediately sensed something amiss.

“Yang Jian, may I trouble you to guard here for a while longer. I have to bring this fellow back and report something to the Queen,” Meng Fusheng said with a straight face.

Yang Jian did not respond and immediately jumped back onto the tree. After all, he was not a real human, so he would feel fatigued or hungry. There was undoubtedly no issue with him staying there for ten days or even longer.

Then, Meng Fusheng turned to look at that young girl, “This Miss, don’t worry. You are already in the Free Valley and this is the territory of the Kingdom of Hua Xia. No one else can harm you. Since you have already entered this place, I need to bring you to meet our Queen to seek her permission for you to continue staying here.”

The young girl looked at Meng Fusheng with a doubtful face, but upon hearing the word ‘Queen’, her gaze had a slight change.

“Queen?”

Meng Fusheng laughed.

“Yes, our Kingdom of Hua Xia’s Queen.” His tone and expression was filled with pride.

The young girl hesitated for a while before nodding slightly.

Meng Fusheng carried the young girl on his horse and galloped off quickly!

It was uncertain how long they had travelled, but there was no longer wasteland in her sight. As the city buildings appeared one after another before her eyes, the young girl’s eyes widened in amazement. It filled her with pleasant surprise when she saw the brand new city.

This place seemed to be different from what she had heard.

Soon, Meng Fusheng had already brought the young girl to a majestic city. She looked up at the city gates and saw the huge and beautifully engraved words at the top.

“City of Heavenly Courts.”

Meng Fusheng led her into the city and everything in the city was a recent discovery to her. The people were dressed differently from what she had seen elsewhere. Before she could inspect everything in the city, Meng Fusheng had already stopped, got off his horse and led the young girl into one of the buildings.

The young girl was nervous and did not know what to do. She only followed Meng Fusheng with her head lowered, hoping that the rumoured ‘Queen’ would let her stay.

Nevertheless…

“Gong Zhiyu, do you believe that I will throw you out if you bring more of this useless trash to me?” A frustrated voice belonging to a lady reached the young girl’s ears.
