Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"Okay, that's it."

Shu Qingyu looked calm, "I won't say much else, just follow the clan rules. Also, no matter what happens, saving your life is the most important thing. As long as people are alive, everything else is trivial."

"I know, mother."

Shu Jiao smiled and responded, "Make sure you come back safely."

"Okay, go ahead."

Shu Qingyu said casually.

She was very confident in her daughter's fighting ability, and no one could get close to her even if they were ten or so people.

Close range is better.

Do you understand the value of the Miao village saint's witchcraft?

Shu Jiao's entire body, even a single hair, was dangerous. No one knew where the Gu she raised would crawl out from and send people off without a sound.

After staying in the village peacefully for two more days, Shu Jiao took Shu Ran out.

Shu Qingyu was in a bad mood these two days because he failed to catch the person who was following him.

As soon as Shu Jiao left, the trained eagle in the mountains flew out.

It flew over her heads.

"Saint, where are we going now?"

Shu Ran asked hesitantly, "Go directly to Qu's house?"

"Why go to the Qu family? There are still four or five months before their wedding. Let's go to the capital first."

"Yes, Saint."

"Don't call me Saint outside. Call me Miss."

"Saint…Okay, miss."

Shu Ran was a little uncomfortable.

But since Shu Jiao said so, she would just shout like that.

The two men rode straight to the capital.

There are many people like them along the way, and the gangsters with a rough and unruly spirit are scattered all over the streets and alleys.

This is a world where the underworld and the court coexist.

There are numerous martial arts sects and many masters; high-ranking officials and nobles in the court also recruit many followers and train thugs.

When laws and regulations are in chaos, lives are worthless.

Kill someone today, be killed tomorrow. If you want to get involved in this world, you must be prepared to lose your life.

At that time, everything was just a bundle of straw mat and a handful of yellow earth. No matter how noble a person, a top-notch master, or a beautiful lady they were, they were nothing but a pile of bones.

Shu Jiao took Shu Ran through a shortcut.

There were no troubles along the way.

We had dinner at a roadside inn today.

Maybe it was because the place was remote and there were few people. Even at noon, when the inn was open to welcome guests, there were only three or four tables occupied, and many tables were empty.

"Sir, the braised duck you ordered!"

The waiter, wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt, put the plate on the table with a smile on his face, "Your dishes are ready."

Shu Jiao nodded slightly, and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

It's not just her.

The guests at the other two tables in the inn also raised their heads alertly, put down their chopsticks subconsciously, and reached for their weapons.

Soon, a carriage escorted by eight guards in front and behind stopped at the door of the inn.

A young man in his early twenties came out, looking very wealthy.

The guests at the two tables quickly put their minds at ease and happily drank and ate meat, laughing and cursing happily.

Before Shu Jiao looked away, her eyes met the young man's.

A few subtle emotions flashed in the young man's eyes, and then, under the protection of the servants, he sat at another table.

She is a Miao girl.

It’s not that the young man knew Shu Jiao or Shu Ran, it’s just that the way they were dressed made them so easy to recognize.

The silver ornaments on her head and waist, the colorful patterns on her clothes, the jingling chains on her hands, and the enchanting venomous snakes crawling around her neck and occasionally spitting their tongues;

In addition, there are already many Miao people in this area.

Think about the strange and mysterious witchcraft of the Miao women...

To be honest, no one wants to offend them.

Miao girl...

The young man seemed to be thinking about something, then looked up at Shu Jiao again.

But he didn't expect that Shu Jiao was also looking at him.

Those upturned eyes, which were charming yet fierce, were full of interest as they looked him up and down, even with a hint of mischief.

The young man's face suddenly felt hot, and he subconsciously lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup and drank half a cup.

"Miss, do you like it?"

Shu Ran leaned close to Shu Jiao's ear and asked in a low voice.

"how?"

Shu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Then I'll put a curse on him and tie him up at night."

Shu Jiao: ...

As expected of a clan girl, she really gets things done.

"Don't mess around. We are going to the capital this time to do serious things."

"Okay. Miss Saint..., this time when I come out, the Lord specifically told me to take good care of you."

The Holy Lord also asked her to check on the Holy Maiden.

Don't let the saint be deceived by the handsome man!

She will definitely do this job well!

Shu Ran swore secretly in his heart.

Shu Jiao glanced at her lightly, then looked at the young man inside. She always felt that there was something wrong with the young man's gaze.

However, the young man did not move.

Shu Jiao ate the meal in silence.

But when she was about to leave, the young man, who had been looking at her again and again, could no longer sit still and stood up and walked towards her.

"Girl, stay."

The young man called out, "Excuse me, but may I ask... do you know where the Qian Gu Miao Village is?"

Ok?

Shu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Shu Ran——

Qian Gu Miao Village, isn’t this their home?

"What do you want to do?"

Shu Jiao asked.

Seeing this, the young man knew that the two of them must have known about it, so he hurriedly explained, "I was also entrusted by someone to come here to look for someone."

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

"A girl named Shu Qingyu. She should be the leader of Qian Gu Miao Village."

Shu Jiao: ...

Looking for her cheap mother?

Shu Ran: ...

Shu Ran silently stood in front of Shu Jiao, put his hand into his sleeve, and prepared to take out the weapon.

Although the young man in front of me has no ill intentions, I still have to be on guard.

"What are you doing with her?"

Shu Jiao played with the silent little bell from time to time, and her tone could not tell whether she liked it or not.

"This……"

The young man did not tell the reason, but looked at Shu Jiao again, "I think the girl looks a bit like Miss Shu in the portrait, do you recognize her?"

Shu Jiao: “Yeah.”

The young man was delighted and asked eagerly, "Can the girl take me to see her?"

Shu Jiao: ...

Could it be that my cheap mother’s romantic debts have come to haunt me?

Shu Jiao said nothing, but just stared at the young man with a strange expression, wondering if she would have another little father when she came back from her trip.

The young man felt numb all over when he was looked at by her.

"Don't get me wrong, girl. I mean no harm."

As he spoke, the young man took out a rosewood tablet from his sleeve.

The wooden sign was engraved with the word "Shu", as well as some complicated patterns and snake and insect symbols, and it also exuded a faint fragrance.

Ok……

It is a wooden plaque passed down from her family.

Shu Jiao gave Shu Ran a look, and Shu Ran took the wooden sign. With a flick of her fingertips, a small fiery red ant crawled out from her sleeve.

The ant crawled around the wooden sign twice and then crawled back quietly.

Seeing this, Shu Ran nodded slightly to Shu Jiao and handed the wooden sign over, "Miss, it's true."

"What do you want from my mother?"

Shu Jiao then opened her mouth and asked again.

youth:? ? ?

"You...mother?"

The young man was obviously stunned, and it took him several seconds to recover. "You are her daughter? You are this old?"
