"Master, Brother Shen, there's an inn ahead." Hou Qing lifted the carriage curtain and poked his head inside.

"There really is an inn." Lu Linxuan lifted the curtain from the other side window of the carriage, glanced inside, and said with delight.

"Since there's an inn, let's stay here for the day and rest a bit," Shen Ye said, getting up and climbing out of the carriage.

Jumping out of the car, Shen Ye glanced at the inn in front of him. To his surprise, the inn had a distinct Central Plains style, completely different from the Miao architecture around it.

Just as he was curiously observing, a waiter dressed in Miao ethnic clothing ran out of the inn, but when he spoke, he spoke fluent Mandarin from the Central Plains.

"Are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?" the waiter asked.

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment. If it weren't for the Miao people passing by from time to time, he would have thought he was in the Central Plains.

So after a long while, he finally said, "I'd like to stay at an inn."

……

The rooms were booked quickly, but no one went to the lobby to meet for dinner right away. After all, they had been running around for a while and needed to take care of their personal hygiene first.

After declining Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian's request to bathe with him, Shen Ye quickly finished his bath and went to the lobby.

It was obvious that he was taking a shower too quickly; after waiting in the lobby for a while, no one came down.

So, getting really bored while waiting, he asked the waiter to bring some cold dishes and ordered a pot of wine, which he then poured and drank by himself.

Shen Ye hadn't had a proper meal or drink for several days. Although it was just some cold dishes and the wine was just cloudy rice wine, he still ate and drank with great relish. Before he knew it, he had finished a whole pot of wine.

However, Lu Linxuan and the other girls still hadn't come down, so Shen Ye had no choice but to order another pot of wine.

But just as he was waiting for the waiter to bring the wine, he suddenly heard a young female voice with a local dialect from the Central Plains.

"Brother, have you seen my brother? He's very tall and handsome, and he's holding a red umbrella."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye paused for a moment, then turned his head in the direction from which the voice came, and saw an unexpected person...

She was a girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old. Her face was very delicate, like a porcelain doll. Her jet-black hair was tied into two pigtails with red hair ties. Her crystal-clear eyes occasionally flashed with a blood-red light, making people feel afraid.

However, although the girl's eyes were frightening, she had an innocent smile on her face and spoke in a very childlike tone, which made people feel good at first glance.

But none of that matters. What matters most is that she is carrying a backpack that is bigger than her whole body, which looks somewhat comical and out of place.

"Ying Gou... how is it her? What is she doing here?"

"That's right. Since Hou Qing is here, she has no reason not to come."

Shen Ye asked himself the question and answered it in his mind, and then he saw Ying Gou walk towards him.

"Brother, have you seen my younger brother? He's very tall..."

"I saw it."

Before Ying Gou could finish speaking, Shen Ye interrupted her.

Ying Gou hadn't held out much hope, so when Shen Ye interrupted her, she didn't react in time and misheard him. So she said "excuse me" and turned to leave.

But after taking only a couple of steps, she finally realized what was happening, turned around abruptly, and pounced on Shen Ye.

"what did you just say?"

"I said, I saw it." Shen Ye smiled at her.

"Where is he now?" Ying asked anxiously, hooking her arm around his hand.

Shen Ye didn't expect Ying Gou to react so strongly. After gently pulling his hand away from Ying Gou's, he pointed to the top of his head and said, "He should still be taking a shower."

Which room?

"The last room on the left on the second floor."

"Thank you, brother."

Ying Gou immediately ran upstairs, brushing past Lu Linxuan, Shi Yao, and the other girls who were coming downstairs.

"Little sister, slow down. You're carrying so much stuff, be careful not to fall."

Seeing a girl carrying a backpack that was taller than herself running past, Lu Linxuan kindly gave her a reminder.

But Ying Gou simply raised her little hand and waved before bursting into Hou Qing's room.

……

(My toothache is gone, but my headache has started...)

Chapter 453! Siblings

(My toothache is gone, but I've had a headache all day, especially when I'm typing. My head is throbbing. I suspect I drank fake alcohol yesterday...)

(Yesterday's chapter has been revised; the entire chapter has been changed...)

……

"Huh, that looks like my apprentice's room."

Chi Meng was stunned when she saw the door to Hou Qing's room being pushed open by the "little girl".

"Could it be his daughter?" Lu Linxuan also began to speculate. After all, Ying Gou looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, and her appearance was incredibly exquisite. It wouldn't be surprising if she mistook her for Hou Qing's daughter.

“No…she’s Hou Qing’s older sister.” Shi Yao averted her gaze and said calmly, “She is one of the Four Corpse Ancestors, Minghai Wuan, Ying Gou…”

"what?"

Upon hearing Shi Yao's words, the other four women were taken aback, with Miao Chengtian exclaiming, "But she looks like just a child!"

"Years ago, she suffered a qi deviation while practicing martial arts, turning from an adult into the child she is now," Shi Yao said. "Just like the Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui."

"The Nine Netherworld Profound Heaven Divine Art..."

Upon hearing her words, the four women understood what was going on. After all, the complete version of the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art was currently on Shi Yao's body. They had seen it before, but after hearing that Zhu Yougui had become that inhuman and ghostly appearance after practicing the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art, none of them dared to practice it. Even though Shi Yao said that practicing both volumes of the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art at the same time would not cause any problems, they did not believe her.

"But Sister Shi Yao, didn't you say that Ying Gou was my apprentice's sister? How come... it seems like they're fighting?"

At this moment, the sound of fierce fighting came from Hou Qing's room. Hearing the commotion inside, Chi Meng was a little worried, after all, Hou Qing was her disciple.

"I don't know either." Shi Yao shook her head. When she infiltrated the Xuanming Sect, she had almost no contact with the four Corpse Ancestors and did not know about their relationship.

"And it has nothing to do with us," she added.

As she said this, she continued walking downstairs. Now that she had left the Xuanming Sect, although she still retained her identity as a member of the Bad People, none of that mattered anymore. She was now just Shen Ye's maid.

Lu Linxuan and the other girls exchanged glances and agreed. The Four Corpse Ancestors had nothing to do with them, so they all followed Shi Yao downstairs.

Chi Meng took two steps, then looked back at Hou Qing's room, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea of ​​going over to take a look.

"My disciple, may you have good luck!" she thought to herself.

……

When Hou Qing and Ying came downstairs, Shen Ye and the others had already ordered a table full of dishes and started eating.

"Brother Hou, Shi Yao told me that this little sister is your older sister?" Shen Ye put down his chopsticks, looked at Hou Qing who was covering one eye, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, and she's my own sister," Hou Qing said with a troubled expression, emphasizing the words "my own sister."

He then removed his hand from his face, revealing his bruised eye socket. Clearly, his sister's way of showing affection was slightly different from that of a normal sibling.

Seeing his face, which would make many women jealous, beaten like this, Lu Linxuan and Chi Meng couldn't help but laugh. Even the more mature Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian had faint smiles on their faces.

Only Shi Yao frowned as she looked at Ying Gou, who was eating without any politeness and had picked up her bowl to eat. In her impression, Ying Gou was a very bloodthirsty and cold-blooded woman, but now she seemed more like a child who had not grown up.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Feeling Shi Yao's gaze, Ying Gou lifted her head from the bowl, licked the rice grains stuck to her lips, and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, you can continue eating." Shi Yao shook her head, but her brows relaxed. She didn't see the familiar killing intent in Ying Gou's eyes.

"Oh!"

Ying Gou didn't think much of it, responded, and continued eating, saying, "The food here is so delicious, little brother, you should eat too. I've been following you for days, and I've only been eating steamed buns every day..."

Hou Qing sighed helplessly and sat down next to her.

However, just as he picked up his bowl, he heard Shen Ye say, "Speaking of which, Brother Hou, you came to Miao territory this time not just to learn the art of music and poison control, right?"

Hou Qing frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that, Brother Shen?"

Shen Ye didn't respond immediately, but glanced at Ying Gou again before saying, "Just a guess."

At first, he thought it was normal for Hou Qing to be here, and even if Ying Gou was here, he still thought it was normal. But after thinking about it carefully for a while, he felt that it was not normal.

However, he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with him, so he tentatively asked Hou Qing.

However, judging from Hou Qing's tone, he was clearly right.

“Indeed, I came to Miao territory not just to learn the art of music and poison control.” Hou Qing put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, his gaze falling on Ying Gou. He sighed and continued, “I came here to find a way to restore my sister’s body.”

As soon as he said that, almost everyone’s eyes fell on him, except for Ying Gou, who was still engrossed in eating, as if she hadn’t heard Hou Qing’s words.

"I just heard from Sister Shi Yao that your sister seems to have run into trouble while practicing the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art..."

"You actually knew that?"

Hou Qing immediately looked at Lu Linxuan, who had spoken, and then at Shi Yao.

"Who exactly are you, and why do you seem to know us so well?"

Shi Yao didn't speak, but looked at Shen Ye. Seeing him nod, she took out two books from behind her and threw them in front of Hou Qing.
