“Your Blood-eyed Bone Wolf will definitely remember her. Bring it along, if you don’t trust me,” Qing Lingyan said airily.
“Why are you telling me all this?” The woman asked cautiously.
“Because I hate that despicable person! She took my Qingjue from me, and I want her to die! I want her to die without a grave, so she’ll never get reincarnated!” A vicious hatred flashed in Qing Lingyan’s eyes. Although she was wearing a face veil, her twisted features could clearly be seen.
The woman stared at Qing Lingyan and eventually nodded. What kind of hatred was needed to be this crazy? She did not doubt Qing Lingyan’s words at all, but she also did not know that the hatred and vengeance of this young maiden was nothing more than the delusions of a one-sided love. Even if she knew, it did not matter, because vengeance had already filled the depths of her heart.
“Let’s go, take me there,” the woman said to Qing Lingyan hoarsely.
The two vengeful women left the swamp, headed in the direction of Ling Chuxi and the others.
…
Long Chuan City was a small city by the borders of Feng Ze Country. It was located amidst mountains in an extremely rural area. Other than for a rugged mountainous path that was connected to Feng Ze Country, the surroundings were all mountains. Thousands of mountains covered the area, deep and vast. No one knew what kind of world lay behind them. Perhaps these mountains were the end of the continent.
However, Su Yizhi had said that beyond the mountains were even more vast plains and deserts. It was just that it was too far, and to an ordinary person, just passing through these mountains was like trying to climb to the sky, not to mention the plains and deserts ahead.
Not long after arriving at Feng Ze Country, the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce split up from the group. Gao Wentian knew that his cultivation was a stage away from the rest, and he was not that interested in sects and martial paths anyway. Hence, he did not bother to join the party, and arranged for a couple of luxurious carriages to send Ling Chuxi’s group to their destination.
Splitting up from the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce lowered their numbers quite a bit. However, it was not too lonely as members of the Su family came to meet up with them, and amongst them were Su Xiu’er and Su Yanhua, as well as others Ling Chuxi was already familiar with. They were not suspicious of Ling Chuxi anymore, and looked at her with respect and admiration. The group was mostly made up of youngsters so the journey was noisy and lively, as if it was a road trip.
Of course, even without them, the journey wouldn’t have been quiet. With Jiang Wuhen and Li Shaoqiu around, silence was practically impossible.
Despite the incident that night, Jiang Wuhen was the same as always. Other than Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen who knew his true identity, nobody would ever associate this cheat to the Clear Wind Sect’s second young master. Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen also tacitly helped him keep his secret.
Along the way, the great godly doctor Jiang used his ‘generous heart’ to ‘cure people’ whenever he was free, proudly carrying along his cloth banner. As always, his antics usually ended up with him running helter-skelter from people trying to kill him. He, on the other hand, was extremely thick-skinned about it, and even seemed to be enjoying it. Every time it happened, Su Xiu’er would purse her lips and pretend like she didn’t know him, turning her head away. It was really too embarrassing.
Although Long Chuan City was located in a rural area, it was abundant with produce. Within the surrounding mountains, there were quite a bit of odd and valuable treasures, so the land around it flourished.
Sitting in the carriage for so many days, everyone was a little tired, so they temporarily stopped at Long Chuan City to take a break. Ling Chuxi asked about the itinerary afterward, but Su Yizhi only smiled mysteriously and did not say much.
Ling Chuxi silently grumbled and did not ask anything else.
