The Psychic Girl

"What's this? Running away from home? When you were little, your third brother liked to take you everywhere. When you were five years old, our family went to Dongli Imperial City, and he almost lost you. If he saw how smart you are now, he would be very happy."

He deliberately used a teasing tone to annoy her, but unfortunately the nervous Xia Xi didn't hear it and was still diligently wiping the table and chairs with her sleeves.

"Brother, brother, cough! Sit, sit, cough cough..."

This action raised a cloud of dust in the room that had been closed for a long time, choking the two men so much that they were speechless.

"Ahem! That's enough! Look at me, you don't know how to take care of the best clothes!"

After saying that, Ye Sheng put down the heavy package prepared by Xia Xi.

I wondered what kind of mess this girl had packed. Was she moving?

Looking around this house that has been empty for many years,

The furnishings here were still the same as before Ye Zhan left, which made him suddenly miss his rebellious younger brother since childhood.

"You just had a quarrel with your parents and left for eight years. You haven't even received three letters from them. That kid loves you the most in the family. When he left, he even insisted on training himself to avenge you in the future. He really has the mentality of a child."

"Revenge?" It was the first time Xia Xi heard this and was stunned.

"It was when you were lost when you were five years old. He was afraid of being punished by your parents, so he insisted that you were taken away by a group of people and your spirit bones were swapped. But it's good for him to leave home to practice and do what he likes. Although your parents have always wanted him to study medicine, he has no talent for pharmacology. For that rascal to become a practitioner is a great honor to the family."

Beiyuan, Cangjie Sect, Ye Zhan, who was meditating on the top of the cliff, suddenly sneezed twice without warning. He was dazed for a moment, and the red spiritual energy ball that had gathered above his head instantly dissipated with a "bang" sound.

"Uncle Master, Ye Zhan is being lazy!" A clear and lazy male voice responded.

"Shen Xing you!" Ye Zhan glared at the beautiful man beside him. He immediately defended himself. "Uncle Master, I didn't! That was..."

The old man in front of him, who looked like a sage, still had his eyes closed. He stroked his long white beard with his hand and uttered a word leisurely.

"quiet."

Ye Zhan didn't dare to say anything else and glared at Shen Xing fiercely, but the latter smiled even more and stuck out his tongue at him proudly, as if showing off. The sky-blue spiritual energy ball above his head was stable and not affected at all.

Looking at Xia Xi who was rubbing the hem of her skirt in silence, Ye Sheng asked seriously.

"Little sister, do you want to get married?"

Not expecting his sudden question, Xia Xi looked up at Ye Sheng in confusion.

"Second brother! You??"

Ye Sheng frowned, smiled bitterly and sighed, then gently ruffled the strands of hair on her forehead like he did when they were children.

As the sky gradually darkened, the Ye family was still immersed in the joy of the upcoming wedding.

"Have everything been packed?"

“All right.”

Xia Xi spoke as she lifted up the repacked luggage. After Ye Sheng's guidance and additions, although the weight did not decrease, a lot of unimportant things were removed, and many useful herbs and several low- and medium-level spirit stones were added.

"Second brother, you are so rich! Is this spirit stone the money for your wife?" In Lingwu Continent, a piece of the worst quality low-level spirit stone can be exchanged for 10,000 gold coins in a business, which is enough for her to buy a store.

"That's all I have. We don't know what might happen on the way, so spend it sparingly! Yanjiabao is too powerful, and we, a small family, dare not disobey. My eldest brother is out doing business and I don't know where he is. I can't contact him. You can only go to Beiyuan to seek refuge with your third brother. I will send an urgent letter to your third brother tomorrow. You just need to go to the post station to buy a good mount, and you can reach Beiyuan in about fifteen days."

Listening to Ye Sheng's detailed instructions, tears began to well up in Xia Xi's eyes.

"Don't blame my parents. Although they are a little old-fashioned, they are sincerely doing good for us. Our daughter has reached the age of marriage, and there is such a good-looking man who is delivered to their door. They are naturally eager to make it happen. After a while, they will regret not letting you get married!"

It turns out that this man, who usually only knows how to calculate and bury his head in the pharmacy, also has such a delicate and gentle side towards his family.

"You have never been out alone. Although I am worried, I have no choice but to let you go alone. I will take care of the things at home. You are not a beautiful person. The adopted son of the Yan family is probably just a name. There are so many people in this world who are prettier than you."

Gently wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, Ye Sheng even raised his head when he said the last sentence.

"Second brother! Are you my biological brother? With my looks, I'd be a beauty in any world!"

Xia Xi's sadness, which was about to burst into tears, quickly disappeared because of his words, and she couldn't help but push him in a reproachful manner.

"Okay, okay, let's go. Ming is waiting for you in the backyard. He will take you to the post station outside the city."

In the dim light, the figure wearing Ye Zhan's youthful clothes gradually disappeared from Ye Sheng's sight, just like the scene eight years ago.

The Ye Mansion was completely silent in the middle of the night, with only a few lights flickering.

"Ouch! Ming, please drive more steadily, it hurts so much! Why do we have to ride on a cart?"

Xia Xi poked half of his head out from a medicine barrel neatly placed on a wooden cart and peeked out secretly. He felt as if his whole body was about to fall apart from the shaking.

She didn't expect that she would be sent out of Jinquan hiding in a medicine barrel.

At this moment, the sky was already showing a faint light of dawn.

"Young Master is also worried that the people from Yanjiabao will be following us outside the mansion. Please be patient. This is a small road, and we are riding ordinary horses used for short distances. It is naturally not easy to walk. We are almost at the post station. When we get there, there will be many mounts for you to choose from. If you are lucky, you may even see one or two spiritual beasts."

"Spiritual beast?" Xia Xi had never seen one with his own eyes, but some strange creatures had indeed appeared in the memories stored in this body.

When practitioners in Lingwu Continent reach a certain stage in their cultivation, they will look for spirit beasts with similar spiritual energy to themselves and which they can tame, so that they can help them improve their cultivation. Practitioners with low spiritual bone qualifications and insufficient spiritual power especially love them.

It is said that during the chaotic period, there were three types of beast eggs in Lingwu Continent: spirit beasts, demon beasts, and divine beasts. However, as time passed and the world changed, only spirit beast eggs exist in Lingwu Continent now.

"Okay! Call me when we get there. I'll take advantage of the time and get some sleep."

"Miss, can you sleep even when you're shaking like this?"

A Ming turned around and looked at her with an incredible look on his face.

As the car swayed, Xia Xi, who was lying in the medicine barrel, also swayed along with it.
