Seeing this troublesome guy leave, Miss Yue was relieved, and then looked at Ye Qiuhan with gratitude, "Thank you Miss Ye for your help this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been captured by this guy."
"Haha, I just wanted to help someone who is in trouble. Miss Yue, you don't have to take it to heart." Ye Qiuhan laughed twice and asked casually, "So what's going on between you two? It feels like there's a lot of story."
"It's a long story. If Miss Ye is interested, I'll come find you after the caravan is on the road and tell you in detail. How about that?"
"That's great!" Ye Qiuhan clasped his hands together and replied with a smile.
So, after the caravan set off again, Miss Yue found an opportunity to go to the carriage where Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan were staying and told them the whole story.
This matter is a little complicated to talk about. There were originally three large families in the city where Miss Yue lived, forming a three-way balance of power. But a few decades ago, a genius emerged from one of the families and actually cultivated to the Grandmaster level within a hundred years, which suddenly broke the balance of power among the three families.
The power of the Yue family and the Xiao family was severely suppressed. Finally, about ten years ago, the oppressed Yue family and the Xiao family could no longer bear it and joined together to overthrow the other family.
The family that was overthrown was indeed stronger than any of the remaining two, but when facing the two families united, it still lost everything due to one wrong move.
As a condition for the alliance, the Yue family and the Xiao family entered into a mutual marriage. It was at this time that Miss Xiao obtained a marriage contract with Miss Yue's brother, and Miss Yue also had a younger sister who married into the Xiao family and became the wife of the young master of the Xiao family.
Originally, if things continued to develop in this way, everyone should be happy. But for some reason, when Miss Yue's brother's engagement was about to be completed, Young Master Yue suddenly became depressed.
Although the original Young Master Yue was not very talented, he was also a qualified heir. But in the past few years, this young master seemed to be possessed by a demon. He spent his days in debauchery and turned into a dandy young man.
He even lost interest in the family's most important caravan business, forcing Miss Yue, his younger sister, to shoulder the burden of the family for her brother.
And it's not just Master Yue who has problems. Miss Xiao also has problems. However, the problem on Miss Xiao's side is even more bizarre. This Miss Xiao actually claims that she likes Miss Yue, Master Yue's sister.
She can marry into the Yue family, but the person she wants to marry can only be Miss Yue.
This made the heads of the two families furious, but Miss Xiao was very talented, and the Xiao family was unwilling to force this promising disciple of the family, so they could only choose to cover their ears and pretend that they heard nothing.
If you want to make a fuss, just make a fuss. It should be fine for a year or two.
The Xiao family planned to pick a new girl to marry Young Master Yue after the scandal had died down.
But what they didn't expect was that Miss Xiao was so persevering that she kept bothering Miss Yue for four or five years. This was the case when they were in the city, and even more so when Miss Yue's caravan was traveling outside.
"It just so happens that she has already broken through to the Body Tempering Realm, and my family can't spare a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm to protect me." Miss Yue shook her head helplessly. Although she didn't like Miss Xiao, she was quite envious of her talent. She was almost forty years old now, but she had already broken through to the Body Tempering Realm. If she continued to practice like this, perhaps she could break through to the Grandmaster level.
"It's actually such a story, so complicated." After listening to Miss Yue's story, Ye Qiuhan sighed deeply. It is true that every family has its own problems. She is not sure about the grievances and love-hate relationship between Miss Yue and Miss Xiao.
Even Qian Lin, who was pretending to be a shy little girl, exclaimed "Wow" to express her surprise at this incident.
"Ms. Han, you just helped me, and I guess that guy has already held a grudge against you. I can protect you in the Yue family, but if you leave the protection of the Yue family, I'm worried that she will attack you." Miss Yue frowned and said softly.
This time she was the one who dragged Ye Qiuhan into this situation. If this kind-hearted girl was wronged because of her, she would feel ashamed and embarrassed.
"Is she so narrow-minded?" Ye Qiuhan asked in surprise.
"I don't know her before, but as for her now, I can tell you clearly that, yes, she is a vengeful person." Miss Yue nodded seriously.
"Well... we can only take it one step at a time." Ye Qiuhan looked at Qian Lin helplessly. Well, this time he had directly provoked the local tyrant. He didn't know what Qian Lin could do.
After thanking Ye Qiuhan again, Miss Yue left the carriage and left the space to the two sisters.
As soon as Miss Yue left, Ye Qiuhan grabbed Qian Lin's shoulders and began to shake them fiercely, "What should I do? I've directly offended a person in the Body Tempering Realm!"
There was already a Body Tempering Realm demon chasing them, and now they have provoked another Body Tempering Realm demon. This is simply making things more difficult for them!
"Don't worry. If my memory serves me correctly, this Xiao family might be related to the evil sect, and that Miss Xiao is more likely to be a member of the evil sect." Qian Lin slapped away Ye Qiuhan's dishonest hands and said to Ye Qiuhan very seriously.
"How did you know?" Ye Qiuhan asked in surprise. Normally, shouldn't she be the one who remembered something and then Qian Lin asked this question? Why did the roles change now?
"Because I was considered a demon from here, and when I first arrived here, the Xiao family and the Yue family were already on the verge of breaking up, and there were traces of demons in the city, and in the end, everyone in the city was slaughtered by the demons." Qian Lin pressed his brows and whispered what he knew, "Later, there were rumors that the Xiao family was infiltrated by the demons, and they let the demons in and killed everyone in the city."
As for the role played by Qian Lin in it... well, he was actually just a minor role, but who made him encounter the inspection of the disciples of the holy land before the sudden incident and run away in fear?
Isn't this the standard behavior of the demons? The disciples of the holy land put Qian Lin on the wanted list. As a result, the city was massacred by the demons not long after. Qian Lin was the only demon who appeared near the city before and after the incident, so he naturally became the number one suspect.
114. There is an assassin!
"Miss? Why did you come back alone?" The cute little maid saw Miss Xiao coming back alone with a gloomy face, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face, "Miss Yue doesn't want to come back with you?"
"It doesn't matter whether she is willing or not, but it's abominable that someone around her dares to help her!" Miss Xiao's expression became even worse when she thought of what happened not long ago. If Ye Qiuhan hadn't stopped her, she would have carried Miss Yue here to spend the night together.
As long as they spent one night together, she believed that Miss Yue would realize her feelings and voluntarily accompany her away.
"Is there such a thing? Is that person in the Body Tempering Realm?"
"No, it's just a state of mind, but she gave me a very strange feeling. When I faced her, I actually felt a little palpitation." Miss Xiao covered her chest and said with some fear, "My strength..."
Others may only know that she is young and promising, and has entered the realm of body building at a young age, but she herself is very clear about where her strength came from.
Compared with cultivators who have reached the Body Tempering Realm through normal training, Miss Xiao's combat power is much weaker, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is in the pseudo Body Tempering Realm.
"Miss, don't worry. No matter what, you are still a cultivator in the Body Refining Realm. A cultivator in the Mind Cultivation Realm is definitely not your opponent." The maid lowered her head and said softly, "You will definitely win."
The maid's gentle voice seemed to carry a special kind of magic. Miss Xiao nodded blankly, her eyes empty, and she muttered and repeated the maid's words.
"I will definitely win, yes, I will definitely win."
"Yeah, that's it, miss, you are invincible, you can do whatever you want, I will do everything to help you."
……
"So what are your plans, Qian Lin? Are you going to wade into this muddy water?"
"To be honest, I really want to know how I was blamed in the first place, but I don't have time to stay here to investigate now. Going to the Qian family is the most important thing." Qian Lin shook her head. If she had time to investigate here now, she would be willing to stay here and investigate the conspiracy of the Demonic Path.
But her main task at the moment is to go to Qianjia to deal with Venerable Blood Butterfly. There will be no problems in that city for the time being, so it is better to put it aside for now.
"It was still a year or half a year before that incident happened. I can't quite remember, but I can be sure that there won't be any major problems here in the short term."
After all, it happened hundreds of years ago, and Qian Lin had almost forgotten it. She only knew that when she first entered the city, the atmosphere was extremely terrifying, with a feeling of impending storm.
"So after we arrive at our destination, we will continue heading north? By the way, is there a store of your Qian family in this city? Can you contact the Qian family?" Ye Qiuhan's eyes were not on Qian Lin, but he looked at the city in the distance where a shadow had appeared, and asked softly.
After nearly ten days of travel, they were finally about to arrive at their destination.
Apart from the time when Miss Xiao blocked their way at the very beginning, the caravan did not encounter any accidents along the way. As the bodyguard, Ye Qiuhan was ridiculously idle and could be found hiding in the carriage all day long to talk to Qian Lin.
In the eyes of other people in the caravan, Ye Qiuhan was the elder sister who was taking good care of her younger sister.
Will there be any complaints? Of course not. This lady was able to stand up and protect Miss Yue in front of a cultivator in the Body Forging Realm. Based on this performance, the other guards could not say anything.
At that time, they were all hiding and dared not show their heads. If Ye Qiuhan had not taken action, their employer, Miss Yue, would have definitely been abducted.
"Even if there is, I'm not sure whether the Qian family here can be trusted. After all, this place is too far away from the Qian family. I can't predict what situation will occur on the road." Qian Lin shook his head, indicating that things were not as simple as Ye Qiuhan thought.
There must be a traitor within the Qian family, and the possibility of a traitor outside is also extremely high.
She was now afraid that she had just revealed her identity to the Qian family stronghold outside. The next moment, the demons would know that the eldest daughter of the Qian family and the direct disciple of the holy land appeared in this place. Then, it would be really bad.
Now there is only one Venerable Blood Butterfly targeting him. By that time, I am afraid that all the demons will come to get involved.
"So my idea is to continue hiding my identity as I do now when I go to the Qian family, and don't reveal my identity along the way." Qian Lin bit her finger and continued. It was originally just a happy trip home to visit relatives, but now it has turned into Miss Qian's great adventure in the north. The world is really unpredictable.
Alas, I always feel like the bad luck from my previous life is haunting me again, Qian Lin thought to himself.
Hmm? Weird, why didn't Ye Qiuhan respond?
After waiting for a long time without hearing Ye Qiuhan's voice, Qian Lin looked up at Ye Qiuhan in some confusion. When did this guy change his temper? Didn't he have to make small talk with him before?
As soon as she looked up, she knew what Ye Qiuhan was doing.
Looking at his lifeless eyes and dull expression, I'm afraid he has been called by the Saint to explain something.
After a long time, when the caravan was about to reach the city, Ye Qiuhan came back to her senses. Just as Qian Lin thought, she was indeed communicating with the saint in her mind.
"She said the city felt very strange to her and there must be something seriously wrong with it."
Well, it's the same as saying nothing. How could Qian Lin not know that there is something wrong in this city? This place will be slaughtered by the evil forces in less than a year. It would be strange if there is no problem.
"So has our invincible Saint Lady figured out the specific problem?" Qian Lin asked with a hint of sarcasm.
Unfortunately, the Saint said that no matter how weird Qian Lin was, he still couldn't tell. The distance was so far that being able to tell that something was wrong was the limit.
"She said it wasn't the Xuehai Sect or Zhantian Sect who did this." Ye Qiuhan scratched his head and relayed the saint's words to Qian Lin.
The two evil sects, the Xuehai Sect and the Zhantian Sect, are very distinctive. If they are the ones behind something, they can be identified at a glance, so the Saint Girl is sure that it is not the Xuehai Sect and the Zhantian Sect that are causing trouble here.
Well, the Blood Sea Sect is struggling to take care of itself right now, so how could it have the time to cause trouble in this small town on the edge of the northern border?
"Nonsense, tell her to stop thinking about it. Now is not the time to solve the problem here. Wait until the Qian family's problem is solved, and then I will ask my father to send someone here to check it out. They will definitely find out something." Qian Lin waved his hand helplessly, indicating that it would be better for the Qian family to solve this matter.
As the eldest daughter of the Qian family, one of the biggest local tyrants in the North, Qian Lin had the confidence to say this.
Of course, the prerequisite is that she can first avoid the pursuit of the demons and return to her loyal Qian family and then shout "Qian family, your eldest lady is back!".
This difficulty is still a little bit big.
While the two were talking, the caravan had already arrived at the towering city wall and was stopped by the guards for routine inspection.
This would normally take quite a bit of time, but since this caravan belonged to the Yue family, the guards did not dare to stop them and allowed them into the city after a quick inspection.
After all, this city is jointly owned by the Yue family and the Xiao family, and the guards are paid by these two families. How could they possibly go against their financial sponsors?
"This city is pretty good. It seems that the two families managing the city are pretty good." Qian Lin lifted the curtain of the carriage slightly, looked at the prosperous scenery outside the carriage, and said in a low voice.
It is certainly not comparable to those big cities, but among small and medium-sized cities, it is already a very good level.
It’s a pity that this relatively well-developed small city will soon be destroyed by the evil forces.
I hope I can save this city from destruction in time, Qian Lin thought secretly in his heart.
As for how deep the feelings between her and this city are, that's not the case. She just simply wants to make the bastard who made her take the blame in her previous life unhappy.
A real man should dare to act and take responsibility. You dare to massacre the city, so why don’t you dare to take the blame?
Do you still have any shame to let a small person like me who has done nothing be blamed for this?
"You two, we will be arriving at the Chamber of Commerce soon. What are your plans after that?" After entering the city, Miss Yue felt a lot more relaxed and had time to talk to Ye Qiuhan and Qian Lin.
After arriving at the Chamber of Commerce, the employment relationship between them ended, so Miss Yue came in advance to ask Ye Qiuhan about his future plans to see if she could be of any help.
"We are going to continue heading north, to the heart of the northern border. If Miss Yue can help us find a way to go further north, I would be very grateful." Ye Qiuhan said to Miss Yue with a slightly embarrassed smile.
During these days of getting along, Ye Qiuhan had completely trusted Miss Yue, a friend he had just met by chance, so he did not hide his future plans from her.
With the help of the Yue family, we should be able to find a way to continue heading north easily, right?
"Well, we have many ways to go further north. Which city do you want to go to? I can arrange an itinerary for you." Miss Yue laughed heartily twice, indicating that these were all trivial matters, just arranging an itinerary and it was nothing.
Ah? Ye Qiuhan's eyes wavered. She couldn't just say she was going to the Qian family. Although she believed Miss Yue was not a bad person, Ye Qiuhan felt that it would be better for her to keep this secret for a while.
"Polaris City." Qian Lin took the initiative to speak, knowing that Ye Qiuhan could not answer.
This city is located within the Qian family's sphere of influence and is not far from the Qian family's headquarters. It can be reached in a few days by flying with a flying sword. It is a perfect destination.
Moreover, Qian Lin knew that this city was the intersection of many northern routes, and perhaps there was an airship route directly to Polaris City from here.
"Ah, I know where it is. We have a flight route leading there!" As Qian Lin expected, Miss Yue hammered her palm, indicating that she really had a flight route directly to Polaris City. "That's a very prosperous city!"
"But this route seems to only depart once every two weeks. The two ladies may have to wait here for a few days."
"Ah, that's okay, we're just looking for a hotel." Ye Qiuhan laughed twice, "Could Miss Yue show me the way?"
"Haha, I'll arrange for someone from the Chamber of Commerce to take you there later. As for accommodation, our Yue family can provide it." Miss Yue smiled very friendly and said, "I haven't thanked you Miss Han for saving my life yet."
"That's too much. Miss Xiao shouldn't do anything excessive to Miss Yue, right?" Ye Qiuhan quickly waved his hand.
Miss Yue really dares to say that I’m grateful for saving my life.
That Miss Xiao doesn't look like a bad person. At most, she just has a strange personality, but she shouldn't be the type to kill anyone.
Besides, doesn’t Miss Xiao like Miss Yue? No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for her to kill Miss Yue, right?
"Forget it, let's not talk about her. If you two don't want to live in the Yue family, you can live in the restaurant under our family's name. We can have dinner together tonight and let me treat you well. How about that?"
The restaurant is under the name of the Yue family. Ye Qiuhan looked at Qian Lin hesitantly, wanting to ask Qian Lin's opinion.
Qian Lin also understood what Ye Qiuhan meant, and nodded his head slightly up and down to show his agreement.
The Yue family's restaurant, plus the favor of Miss Yue herself, can save a lot of trouble. Besides, if Miss Yue said so, then she would definitely waive the cost of their accommodation. It would be unfair not to take advantage of this.
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Yue." Seeing that Qian Lin had no objection, Ye Qiuhan immediately nodded and accepted Miss Yue's invitation.
Miss Han cares about her sister very much. Miss Yue, who was watching the interaction between Ye Qiuhan and Qian Lin, thought to herself that she had no doubt that if Qian Lin had shaken her head at that time, Ye Qiuhan would have directly rejected her invitation.
If he wanted to establish a good relationship with Miss Ye Han, perhaps the breakthrough point would be her sister. However, this little girl named Ye Ling was obviously colder in temperament than her older sister Ye Han.
Miss Yue judged that she was a girl who was very difficult to approach.
While she was thinking, the caravan had reached its destination and began to unload the goods.
Seeing this, Miss Yue quickly jumped off the carriage and began to arrange for people from the Chamber of Commerce to help unload the goods. In the midst of her busy schedule, she also found time to call a capable girl and asked her to take Qian Lin to buy tickets, and then go to the restaurant to stay.
