Don't come over here. I don't want Feng Aotian to misunderstand me.

Unfortunately, Ye Ping'an didn't bring any herbs with him this time. After all, Xiao Mengyao had already established her foundation, so Ye Ping'an hadn't beaten her again. Not to mention whether it was necessary, what if Xiao Mengyao got angry and she beat him back? So, he took off the herbs that he used to carry with him.

"Brother Ping'an... I..." Shui Ling'er said with some shame, holding back the pain. After all, she was in this state and couldn't walk at all. The girl couldn't help but feel guilty for delaying Brother Ping'an's trip due to her own weakness.

Seeing the girl's self-blaming expression, Ye Ping'an couldn't help but laugh. He thought that this princess must have never suffered such grievances on weekdays! After soothing the girl's ankle, he advised Shui Ling'er: "Don't blame yourself. It's all Brother Ping'an's fault for not taking good care of you."

Then Ye Pingan turned his back and squatted, putting his back next to the girl: "Let me carry you on my back for the rest of the journey!"

"Oh!" The girl blushed immediately. She originally thought that she would be disliked by the protagonist Brother Ping'an, but she never expected that Brother Ping'an not only did not despise her, but was also prepared to carry her as a burden. The girl could not help but be stunned for a moment.

The girl didn't move for a long time, so Ye Pingan couldn't help but urge her, "Come up quickly!"

"Oh! Thank you...thank you Brother Ping'an." The girl shyly put her arms around Ye Ping'an's neck and pressed her body against him.

As Ye Ping'an carried the girl on his back, the girl's cheeks were already rosy red where Ye Ping'an could not see.

In the plot of those little notebooks, this is a scene that can quickly increase the favorability between the two. Shui Ling'er never thought that her mistake would become a bridge for the two to improve their development. She couldn't help but feel happy, and even her red ankle didn't hurt much at this moment.

With her cheek gently resting on Brother Ping'an's back, Shui Ling'er felt a strong sense of security. Shui Ling'er, who had been worried all night, finally relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

67. I finally understand what Brother Duan felt at the time

When Ye Ping'an carried Shui Ling'er's delicate body on his back, he could tell that she was truly a beautiful girl.

At this moment, Ye Ping'an was just like Duan Tianya in the first place in the world. Thinking back to when Duan Tianya carried Xue Ji for such a long distance and said that he wanted to keep walking and would not get tired, Ye Ping'an suspected that the other party might be overestimating his own abilities.

However, when Ye Ping'an carried Shui Ling'er on his back, he instantly understood Brother Duan's heart, because at this moment Ye Ping'an still became Brother Duan.

Unfortunately, Shui Ling'er and I are not lovers, and Shui Ling'er probably doesn't have that kind of feelings for me, after all, she's just a little kid. She's also one of the future heroines in the plot. How could she possibly have any feelings for me?

Just imagine, a loli with a delicate body who has no weight to him, I am afraid that any man would become Brother Duan! I guess everyone would want to be a man like Brother Duan, carrying a beautiful girl on his back and walking all the time. Unless he is a complete sister control.

As for the fact that the protagonist would know about it in the future, Ye Ping'an would not be able to do anything about it. The most urgent task now was to gain Shui Ling'er's favorability. You must know that in the plot, Shui Ling'er was different from his junior sister, but was someone who was truly related to the protagonist.

Therefore, it is crucial for Ye Ping'an to gain Shui Ling'er's favor.

After a while, when Ye Ping'an noticed Shui Ling'er's cheek resting on his back and her even breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Shui Ling'er had fallen asleep.

Originally, Ye Ping'an was still thinking about how to settle Shui Ling'er if he found the location of Star Ash?

After all, strictly speaking, this star ash belongs to the witch. In the plot, the witch is a super ruthless person. As long as someone provokes her, she will kill them without even saying anything. If Shui Ling'er knew about this place and sent people to guard it, what would happen if the witch knew about it in the future? Ye Ping'an knew what the result would be even if he used his butt to think.

As the heroine, Shui Ling'er might escape, but as an ordinary passerby, Ye Ping'an will inevitably die in the end.

Even the Xuanxing Sect might be razed to the ground in an instant.

This also indirectly shows that no one can annoy a woman.

Now that Shui Ling'er has fallen asleep, Ye Ping'an doesn't have to go through the trouble of settling Shui Ling'er down.

......

Just like that, after Ye Ping'an searched for more than an hour again, he finally found the entrance where the protagonist and the heroine arrived in the plot.

It was a group of valleys scattered with rubble, as if they had experienced a landslide.

If you just glanced at it, you would definitely think it was a natural phenomenon. You would never think it was man-made, nor would you think that there is a most important existence hidden here for those who need to comprehend the laws.

Leaping over to the rubble, Ye Ping'an walked towards the stone closest to the right.

He pulled out one of his hands holding Shui Ling'er and groped towards the rock. When he touched a place where his hand could sink directly into, Ye Ping'an's young face lit up with joy, he finally found it.

Then he carried Shui Ling'er on his back and walked straight in. After a twist, he disappeared outside.

Without the obstruction of rocks, a cave appeared in front of Ye Ping'an.

The cave is not too big, only about ten meters deep. Compared to the Feng family's secret realm with abundant spiritual energy, it is more than half shorter, but it is much more spacious than that cave.

There was only a stone platform deep in the cave, and on the stone platform was a stone cup. I thought my goal was in the cup.

He gently placed Shui Ling'er against the wall of the cave, letting her lean against the wall, and then Ye Ping'an walked towards the depths of the cave.

Coming to the stone platform, looking at the star ash in the cup that seemed to depict the entire starry sky, Ye Pingan couldn't help but be fascinated by the beauty of this treasure.

I originally thought it was just ordinary dust emitting spots of light, but I never expected that this star ash really looked like a starry sky, and each shining spot of light seemed like a star shining.

Taking out the container that had been prepared long ago, Ye Ping'an carefully placed the star ash into the container.

When it was about half full, he stopped.

Although Ye Ping'an wanted to take it all away, it was the witch's stuff after all, and the future protagonist would also come here to get the star ash for the mysterious boss behind the scenes. If he found that the star ash was gone, the result would be predictable.

If he offended other people, it would be okay. As long as he could avoid it, his life would be temporarily saved. But if he offended the boss behind the scenes, even if Ye Ping'an hid in the horizon, that big boss would be able to accurately locate Ye Ping'an.

After all, in the plot, the boss seems to be of great importance, and is extremely proficient in the art of deduction. It is said that Feng Aotian, the son of destiny, who is protected by the way of heaven, can deduce it. It is so terrifying.

Of course, even if he filled half of it, Ye Ping'an would still be taking a huge risk.

Ye Ping'an carefully put the container into his arms and hid it close to his body, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without staying any longer, he came to the entrance of the cave, gently picked up the still sleeping Shui Ling'er, and then left the cave.

Compared to climbing up the mountain and searching at the same time, going down the mountain was much easier. It only took more than ten minutes for Ye Ping'an to follow the relatively flat terrain and bring Shui Ling'er to the location of the ruined temple.

After putting Shui Ling'er into the carriage, Ye Ping'an woke up the two tall horses that were full and still drowsy. Under the reluctant gaze of the two horses, Ye Ping'an tied the two horses to the carriage again.

Just like that, under the sound of Ye Ping'an's driving, the horse neighed helplessly twice to express its protest, but finally accepted the late-night overtime work.

Then, the carriage sped away towards the royal capital.

On the way, Ye Ping'an, sitting in the driver's seat, also breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, not only did he save Shui Ling'er, he also got the Star Ashes. The worst-case scenario he imagined did not happen. Think about it, a character like the witch would not even go to get the Star Ashes herself, but ask the protagonist to help her get them, not to mention when she didn't need the Star Ashes.

In short, it was a great blessing for Ye Ping'an that he did not encounter the witch.

Ye Ping'an couldn't help but think in his heart that he hoped that in the future, just like this time, he would never meet that horrible witch in his life.

68. Being chivalrous and righteous is our duty

'A sneeze! '

The girl in the pool suddenly sneezed.

The girl was about 28 years old, with a beautiful face, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

Even the vague size in the pool can be seen to be very plump and smooth, and can be said to be the best in the world.

At this moment, the beautiful girl wiped her nose, feeling full of doubts.

Could it be that someone noticed that I was not in the room?

After thinking it over again and again, the girl stood up and ended her training for the day.

......

Maybe it was because they were too tired before, Ye Ping'an took Shui Ling'er in the carriage for about two hours, but Shui Ling'er didn't wake up.

When Ye Ping'an brought Shui Ling'er to the gate of the royal capital, it was already early morning.

The only difference from when I came here yesterday is that the martial law at the city gate today is very strict.

The most important thing is that Ye Ping'an only saw people entering the city, and no one leaving the city. It should be because he discovered Shui Ling'er's disappearance.

Ye Ping'an did not hesitate and immediately drove the carriage towards the city gate.

......

Although the martial law was very strict, there were still many people queuing to enter the city. Ye Pingan waited for nearly half an hour before it was his turn. It was a far cry from the sparse crowd when he came yesterday afternoon.

Driving the carriage, he slowly drove towards the inspection office.

The guards were curious when they saw a carriage driven by a child of about twelve or thirteen years old. They were wondering which family was so confident in letting such a young child drive the carriage. Aren't they afraid of accidents on the road?

However, the city was searching for the criminal who had dared to kidnap the princess, and the guards had to check anyone who wanted to leave the city. Naturally, they had no time to persuade the young man, and they just reminded him briefly: "Little brother, there are some lawless elements in the city recently. Are you sure you want to enter the city?"

Ye Pingan naturally understood what the guards meant. It was obvious that they saw that he was young and were afraid that something might happen. Otherwise, they would have just ignored him and searched the carriage and let him into the city. Ye Pingan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Dear brothers, I am Ye Pingan from Xuanxing Sect."

After hearing Ye Ping'an's identity, several guards immediately looked serious. After all, the sects in this world basically refer to the sects of cultivating immortals. Even if there are no foundation-building stage in the sects in the secular world, the Qi-refining stage can easily control these mortals.

Therefore, when Ye Ping'an revealed a sect that no one had ever heard of, they naturally did not dare to be careless. What if there was someone beyond the Qi Refining Stage in his sect? They could not afford to offend such people. Therefore, for ordinary people, they would rather suffer some losses than offend those who claimed to be from the sect.

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. It turns out you are the young hero. What are you doing here? Do you need our help?"

Ye Ping'an waved his hand and pointed to the carriage behind him: "Thank you for your kindness, big brother. When I was out for training, I happened to see a girl being kidnapped by gangsters. The girl is resting in the carriage now. I hope you guys can take care of her and help her find her family. I still have some things in my sect. Now that I'm here, I'll hand them over to you big brothers."

Ye Pingan naturally would not reveal the princess's identity directly. After all, she was just playing the role of a passerby, so she had to do it in full. Therefore, Ye Pingan treated Shui Ling'er as an ordinary person.

"Hijack?" When the guards heard the word, they immediately thought of the princess' disappearance in the palace. But is this possible?

You know, not long after the princess disappeared yesterday, all the guards were mobilized to look for her. The city gate is naturally the focus of attention. How could the robbers get out of the city in such a short time? I think they must be hiding somewhere in the city.

It should be someone else's girl! The guard thought so and felt it made sense, so he said, "Okay, then in that case, we will leave this girl to us. We will naturally send her home afterwards."

Afterwards, the guard came to the carriage behind Ye Ping'an, ready to pick up the girl and put her in the lounge first. He would help the girl go home after the princess's affairs were settled.

However, when the guards drew aside the curtain and saw the princess sleeping in the carriage, they were startled for a moment.

What no one expected was that the princess, whom everyone had been looking for all night, was not in the city, but had been taken out of the city long ago.

Not to mention searching for a whole night, even if you search for three days and three nights, you won’t find it in the middle of the night.

If it weren't for this young man, I'm afraid they would have been sitting there doing nothing. If it was more extreme, I'm afraid by now, the princess would have...

And once the princess's body is found outside the city, or even if the princess makes the slightest mistake, the consequences for the guards guarding the gate can be imagined.

The guards didn't dare to think any further at this moment. They watched Ye Ping'an get up and get off the carriage, ready to leave.

The guard immediately knelt in front of Ye Ping'an and said with emotion: "Thank you for rescuing the princess. We are grateful for your chivalrous act."

The other guards were naturally not stupid either. Seeing their companion's performance, they immediately knew that the person in the carriage was Her Royal Highness the Princess.

They also thought of the serious consequences if something happened to the princess, and immediately knelt on the ground like the guard. Their eyes were filled with emotion.

The young boy in front of them was no longer a young hero in the eyes of everyone, but the adopted parent of this group of guards.

"So she is a princess. Brothers, there is no need to be so polite. Being chivalrous is our duty. It is not worth mentioning." Ye Ping'an naturally did not think of what the others were thinking. He just thought that these people were too enthusiastic and helped them up immediately. Moreover, the purpose of this trip was finally achieved, so he completely put himself into the role of a person who happened to pass by.

It’s no wonder that Ye Ping’an finally understood why those young heroes in the stories who had experienced the worldly life all liked to do good deeds. It turned out that being thanked by others was so comfortable.

Of course, that only exists in the story. It is people's yearning for a better life.

You have to know that the world where Ye Ping'an lived in his previous life was a society where people didn't even dare to help up the old grandfathers and grandmothers who fell to the ground. If you dare to help, then the poor old grandfather who fell to the ground will most likely turn into a demon in an instant, and will squeeze you who do good things and make your family broken up and your wife and children separated.

Even if they want to do something good, they have to make sufficient preparations in advance, as if doing good things is a very dangerous thing for them.

69. Shui Ling'er wants to cultivate immortality

"No, you saved the princess, which is equivalent to saving us. If we don't repay you, we will feel really bad."

"Haha! Brothers, you don't have to do this. I believe that anyone with a sense of justice will not ignore a kidnapped girl." Ye Pingan waved his hands repeatedly. Although he didn't know why the guards were so enthusiastic, Ye Pingan still refused. He didn't want this favor to go wrong.

Maybe it was the noise outside, or maybe it was because she had finally rested after several hours. When Shui Ling'er woke up again, she heard Brother Ping'an talking with other people outside, so she hurriedly walked to the outside of the carriage with her still sore legs.

Seeing several guards kneeling down to Brother Ping An, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Brother Ping An, what are you doing?"

The leading guard immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply to the princess. "Your Highness, it was this young man who wanted to leave after sending you back. We wanted to thank him for his bravery, so we tried to keep him."

"What? Brother Ping An wants to leave?" The girl was stunned. This development was wrong! Logically, as the protagonist, Brother Ping An should stay and live with her. Why did he leave?

Shui Ling'er disagreed immediately, jumped off the carriage, and held Ye Ping'an's arm tightly: "Brother Ping'an, don't leave."

Ye Ping'an naturally thought that Shui Ling'er was reluctant to let go of her good brother, or that she had few friends since childhood and was unwilling to let him leave.

But he couldn't really stay here. He could only calm the girl down first. So he persuaded her kindly: "Ling'er, I still have to return to the sect. If there is a chance, I will come here to see you again."

Shui Ling'er was also extremely anxious at the moment. She felt that if she didn't do something, Brother Ping'an, the protagonist she recognized, would really leave her. What should she do? How could she keep him? The girl's face was extremely anxious.

Wait, Shui Ling'er suddenly realized that she seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding. Why did she have to let Brother Ping'an stay?

There are also stories where people run away from home to be with the protagonist and finally get married. Moreover, Brother Ping An should be a legendary fairy. Doesn't this mean that as long as I follow Brother Ping An, I will become one of those perfect and omnipotent fairies in the future?

Fantasizing about a fairy as perfect as the goddess Luoshen in the story, Shui Ling'er's young heart began to burst out with strong desire. At this moment, the girl's yearning for cultivating immortals reached an unprecedented peak.

When Shui Ling'er thought about becoming a fairy, her watery eyes immediately burst into an increasingly brighter light.
