After Ye Qiuhan hid his identity, the two went downstairs together to have a fairly hearty breakfast, and then headed directly to the caravan's camp.
"The caravan will set out tomorrow at noon. Today is the time for us to adapt. After all, the caravan has hired more than just me as guards. There are also several cultivators in the Yangxin realm and Peiyuan realm who have been hired as guards." As they walked, Ye Qiuhan introduced the situation of the caravan to Qian Lin.
Qian Lin has already begun to live up to his taciturn personality. In response to Ye Qiuhan's introduction, he only nodded slightly, and even used very few interjections.
This made Ye Qiuhan sigh repeatedly. This kind of communication without any response was simply torture.
"We haven't reached the destination yet, so you don't need to be so careful, right?"
"uh-huh?"
Well, there is one more word, but the attitude is already very clear. Qian Lin really doesn’t want to talk at this moment.
"Oh... forget it, whatever you want."
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the caravan's camp, because Ye Qiuhan had been here yesterday. After seeing her coming with a petite girl in gray, the two ordinary guards standing guard at the entrance of the camp immediately made way respectfully.
Well, yes, the guards guarding the gate here are ordinary people. Although they are very strong, they can only serve to scare people here.
For monks, these guards are really worth a slap.
After entering the camp, Qian Lin saw a lot of goods that had been loaded onto carriages. A wheat-skinned girl was running around the camp in a hurry, directing everyone in the camp to pack the goods into boxes and put them where they should be.
After standing by and watching for a while, the girl finally noticed Qian Lin and the other two. She immediately showed an embarrassed expression and ran to Ye Qiuhan's side, "Sorry, sorry, I was too busy to notice you two."
"It's okay, I just waited for a while. I didn't expect Miss Yue to be so busy." Ye Qiuhan laughed twice, then pointed at Qian Lin beside him, "This is the sister I told you about yesterday. Her name is Ye Ling, but she has a cold personality and doesn't like to talk. Please bear with me."
After Ye Qiuhan introduced himself, Qian Lin nodded slightly to the girl and whispered, "Hello."
Then she decisively hid behind Ye Qiuhan, perfectly playing the role of a shy sister.
This sister's voice is very nice. Miss Yue's eyes flickered. Just by hearing the voice, a fairy-like figure seemed to appear in her mind. This little girl named Ye Ling must be a beauty in the world.
No wonder she wrapped herself so tightly, probably because she didn't want to attract other people's attention.
And her elder sister, the girl who called herself Ye Han, was no ordinary person either. The combat capability she displayed in the strength test yesterday was very powerful. Even the caravan’s veteran guard, a cultivator in the late stage of the Yangxin realm, could not defeat her.
Miss Yue judged that the identities of these two sisters were probably not simple.
But for her, her identity is not simple, the two parties are just in a transaction relationship.
113. Where it all began
"You have been keeping your head down since just now. What are you thinking about? No one is watching us now, so feel free to talk." When they arrived at the place arranged by Miss Yue for the two of them, Ye Qiuhan asked Qian Lin curiously.
Qian Lin raised his head slightly, looking at Miss Yue who was busy in the distance, and muttered softly: "I wonder if there is any big family in the North with the surname Yue, but I can't remember it."
What this means is that there is no big family with the surname Yue in the North?
"Could it be that the big family you know is too big? Miss Yue's caravan doesn't look very large, and it doesn't even have a few storage bags. It's probably just a big family in a city at most. It's normal for you, a super young lady, not to know about it."
There may be a big gap between the big family that Qian Lin mentioned and the big family in the eyes of ordinary people. For Qian Lin, a family must at least control several cities to be called big, right?
But in the eyes of ordinary people, a family that can dominate a city is already a big family, and Miss Yue should be such a big lady.
Moreover, she was so skilled at her job, it seemed like she had done this kind of thing many times before. She was quite different from those young ladies who never left the house.
"That makes sense." Qian Lin nodded, agreeing with Ye Qiuhan's statement, "But this caravan is indeed a bit small, and there are not even a few guards who can cultivate their mind."
"Haha, after all, it's just a short-distance caravan, not a long-distance caravan, so it doesn't matter if there are fewer guards."
"What if we get robbed?"
"Shh! Don't say such things. It will be bad if others hear it!" Ye Qiuhan quickly signaled Qian Lin to shut up. Wouldn't it be better to spend this journey safely? Why must he think about encountering robbers?
You'll get beaten if you say something like that!
"Oh, I just think the guards are too weak."
"It doesn't matter. With the two of us here, the escort force is not weak." Ye Qiuhan snorted confidently. It's impossible for a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm to come and rob them, right?
Given the size of this small caravan, the cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm might not look down on them.
Ye Qiuhan thought so, but two days later, her face was swollen.
Unfortunately, on the second day after leaving the town, their small caravan encountered a Body Tempering Realm monk who blocked their way.
Well, there was only one person on the other side, and he didn't have any minions around him. He looked bright and beautiful, and didn't look like a robber. Instead, he looked like... um, a young lady who was out for a stroll?
"Is this true? Is it so easy to reach the Body Tempering Realm?" Ye Qiuhan was stunned. He poked Qian Lin's waist frantically to make sure whether he was dreaming.
Qian Lin simply twisted Ye Qiuhan's waist with his backhand and told Ye Qiuhan, "Don't poke me anymore. You are not dreaming. We have just met a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm."
"But she doesn't seem to have any ill intentions. Oh, Miss Yue's expression seems a little strange. It seems there is a story behind it." After letting Ye Qiuhan sober up, Qian Lin leaned on the edge of the carriage and began to watch the show.
There should be no danger, as the girl in the Body Tempering Realm had no hostility at all. On the contrary, Miss Yue's reaction was a bit strange.
That expression... Qian Lin didn't know how to describe it. In short, it was like seeing a very annoying guy, but he didn't know how to deal with him.
It was similar to the feeling Qian Lin had when he saw Ye Qiuhan before.
There is a story, Qian Lin concluded.
"Then I'll hide here and watch the show?" Ye Qiuhan asked in a low voice.
"Well, don't you see that the other guards are the same as us? This is the Body Tempering Realm, and not something that ordinary people can deal with." Qian Lin praised against his conscience.
She was still in the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm, and was still quite weak. If a fight really broke out, Qian Lin felt that he should be able to deal with her without much effort.
But the other party's target is not himself, and Qian Lin will not jump out to make trouble.
"Why are you here? I've said it many times, I don't want to see you!" Even when facing a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm, Miss Yue, whose strength was only at the Mind Nourishing Realm, was still so brave and fearless. She took the lead in launching a verbal attack on the girl in the Body Tempering Realm who was much stronger than her.
"Yue'er!" The girl in the Body Tempering Realm did not show any sign of indifference when Miss Yue scolded her. Instead, she took a few steps forward and wanted to grab Miss Yue's hand.
The expression on his face was like that of a puppy abandoned by its owner, so pitiful.
"Xiao Shu, I've told you long ago that there's no possibility between the two of us. You should just go back to your Xiao family and be the eldest lady. Don't bother me anymore, okay?"
"Yue'er, can't you just give me a chance? I promise I will treat you well!"
"impossible!"
Miss Yue started a conversation with a girl in the Body Tempering Realm named Xiao Shu. The explosiveness of the content directly stunned Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan.
What is this? A relationship dispute?
Emotional dispute between two girls?
From what these two girls said, it seems that the girl in the Body Tempering Realm is pursuing Miss Yue, but Miss Yue doesn't want to be with Miss Xiao?
"You are my brother's fiancée, I hope you can recognize your identity!"
Following Miss Yue's words, Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan's eyes became even more surprised. Oh my God, is there such a relationship?
This is too exciting!
"Are you people in the Northern Territory so open-minded?" Ye Qiuhan looked at Qian Lin. She hadn't even arrived in the Northern Territory yet, but she had already seen such a good show. It really opened her eyes.
The sparks of love between the future sister-in-law and sister-in-law are so amazing!
Qian Lin shook her head in a daze. She, a native of the Northern Territory, had never encountered such a scene before. She was ignorant.
"It should be just an isolated case, just an isolated case." She muttered softly.
"Your brother? Are you talking about that useless guy who is addicted to men? If he wasn't useless, you wouldn't be the one leading the caravan." Miss Xiao laughed twice and said to Miss Yue without any politeness, "You used to be so beautiful, but now you have become like this. It's really heartbreaking to see you."
What? Obsessed with men? Ye Qiuhan's eyes widened. Did this couple have problems on both sides?
"You in the North..."
"Don't ask. This is the first time I've seen this scene, too." Qian Lin shook her head vigorously. For some reason, she always felt that this scene had a little bit of déjà vu, as if it happened a long, long time ago...
While Qian Lin was thinking silently, the conversation on the other side had become more and more confrontational. Miss Xiao had already started rolling up her sleeves, and it seemed that she was planning to kidnap Miss Yue directly.
The Yue family...the Xiao family...the complicated relationship between the two families makes me feel more and more impressed the more I think about it.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Qian Lin's mind, and she remembered!
Aren’t these two big families the ruling families of the city she had just entered after practicing the Against the Heaven Technique? She remembered that the city was at the junction of the Northern Territory and Central China. So this is it!
Because so much time had passed, Qian Lin did not realize at first that this was where his tragic life began.
"Qian Lin, a fight is about to break out over there, what should we do?" Ye Qiuhan asked nervously. It seemed that Miss Xiao was not going to reason with them and wanted to kidnap Miss Yue directly.
"I think it's better to stop it. If we don't stop it, there might be big problems." Qian Lin tried hard to recall what happened hundreds of years ago, but she couldn't remember much. She only remembered that when she first arrived in the city, the relationship between the two families seemed to be very bad.
Later, she heard that one of the families was infiltrated by the evil sect and became a member of the evil sect.
But those were all rumors, Qian Lin never returned to this sad place.
As for why she wanted to stop what was happening now, that was Qian Lin's intuition. She felt that if things were allowed to develop as they did, it might lead things in an extremely bad direction.
"If I can't beat you, you have to save me." When Ye Qiuhan heard Qian Lin's words, he immediately showed a fearless expression. Qian Lin is now playing the role of a sister who has no fighting ability. Isn't he the only one who can go up and fight?
And I am just in the middle stage of the state of nourishing my mind!
Not all people in the Yangxin realm can cross the level as easily as drinking water like Qian Lin. Most of those in the Yangxin realm will be killed if they encounter the Body Tempering realm.
"Don't be afraid, I will support you from behind." Qian Lin patted Ye Qiuhan's shoulder gently and gave Ye Qiuhan a boost.
When water-based monks assist wood-based monks, the effect is quite good.
As soon as Qian Lin's buff came on, Ye Qiuhan couldn't help but shiver. It was too cold, just like having a piece of ice stuffed into the back of her neck in the dead of winter. It was too stimulating.
All of a sudden, Ye Qiuhan felt her mind become extremely clear. Not only that, the wood spiritual power in her body also became active and powerful. For a moment, she actually felt that a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm was no more than this.
"Stop! How dare you kidnap a girl in broad daylight? You are so shameless!" Ye Qiuhan shouted and rushed out of the carriage.
Frightened by Ye Qiuhan's righteous shout, Miss Xiao paused and looked up, only to see an ordinary-looking girl in coarse clothes rushing towards her with her small pink fist raised.
Cultivate your mind? And who is this person? Do I know her?
Subconsciously, Miss Xiao raised her hand and slapped Ye Qiuhan.
The ochre-colored spiritual energy condensed into a large palm in mid-air and pressed towards Ye Qiuhan.
As an earth-type cultivator, he is good at dealing with Ye Qiuhan!
With a flash of green light, the large khaki palm was actually shattered by the large number of green leaves thrown out by Ye Qiuhan. After breaking the large palm, these green leaves did not continue to attack, but blocked between Miss Xiao and Miss Yue, temporarily isolating the two.
"Miss Ye Han...you..." Miss Yue was surprised by Ye Qiuhan's sudden attack. Looking at Ye Qiuhan's indifferent expression, there was a hint of confusion in her voice.
Why would Miss Ye Han help me at this time? And she was able to break Xiao Shu's attack. Was she really just a cultivator in the state of cultivating her mind?
"I am the bodyguard you hired, so of course I have to protect you." Ye Qiuhan waved her right hand, and the green leaf separating Miss Xiao and Miss Yue was taken back into her hand, turning it into a long sword that looked like a branch. "As long as I am here, you won't be harmed!"
"How shameless!" Miss Xiao stamped her feet in anger. "This is a private matter between her and me. It has nothing to do with an outsider like you!"
Although she was angry, Ye Qiuhan's move just now still made Miss Xiao feel a little apprehensive. Her attack was broken so easily. This girl in the state of cultivating her mind was definitely not simple.
I have just broken through to the Body Tempering Realm. If I meet a genius in the Mind Nourishing Realm, I can't say that I have a 100% chance of winning, not to mention that the spiritual attribute of this girl is restraining me.
"I don't understand the relationship between you two, but she is my employer now. I can't just watch my boss being kidnapped by a stranger, right?" Ye Qiuhan held the sword, straightened his body, and said to Miss Xiao with a righteous face, "Unless Miss Yue says she is willing to go with you, I will definitely protect Miss Yue."
Miss Yue’s choice is obvious. How could she be willing to follow Miss Xiao?
"Don't think you can really stop me!" Miss Xiao said angrily, "If you don't want to get into trouble, get out of my way. You can't afford to mess with our Xiao family."
Well, actually Ye Qiuhan really wanted to say, I have never heard of your small family, and if she revealed her identity, this Miss Xiao would probably kneel down and beg for mercy.
She, Ye Qiuhan, is Yao Chi’s direct disciple, one of Master Bi Hai’s favorite disciples, and a good senior sister to Miss Qian!
Who do you think your Xiao family is?
"Oh, Xiao Shu, you disappoint me so much. You want to use your Xiao family to pressure others, but have you ever asked for my opinion? Our Yue family is not afraid of your Xiao family!" After hearing Miss Xiao's threat, Miss Yue immediately stepped forward and protected Ye Qiuhan behind her.
Just because the other party stood up to protect her friendship at this time, she also wants to protect the other party.
If Ye Qiuhan had not come to his rescue, he would have probably been kidnapped by Xiao Shu. These hired guards were really useless. When faced with such a situation, they all turned into cowards, which was extremely frustrating.
"You..." Seeing that Miss Yue had also moved out of the Yue family, Miss Xiao knew that she would probably return empty-handed today.
Would she fight Ye Qiuhan with real swords and guns? She still didn't dare.
After all, this is not her home ground. She is surrounded by Miss Yue's people. Now she can suppress them with her strength, but if she shows signs of fatigue and these people rush over, she will probably not end up well.
Although it was impossible for Miss Yue to kill her, if the news that a person at the Body Tempering Realm was defeated by a person at the Mind Nurturing Realm were to spread, it would cause big problems.
Miss Xiao can't afford to lose face like this.
"You're lucky this time. I will definitely succeed next time! Just wait for me!"
After leaving behind some harsh words, Miss Xiao retreated with an unchanging expression.
