Xiandao Linglong

It was late at night and there was no one around, so Ye Qi took advantage of the little witch changing clothes and taking a bath to sneak over the wall and slip away!

Walking alone on the cold and quiet streets, only the sound of wind blowing the leaves and the night watchmen's voices wandering in every street.

"Hey! What happened to your leg?"

Jingshu's voice suddenly rang out, but when I looked around, there was no sign of her!

"look up!"

Ye Qi raised his head when he heard the voice and looked towards the treetops above his head. Jing Shu was sitting on the tree trunk, swinging her legs, holding a wine gourd in one hand and taking a sip from time to time.

"How dare you say that? I'm getting beaten over there, and you're enjoying yourself here!"

"Pfft! You can't beat her? Another sucker who got scared by her. You deserve to be beaten!"

Jing Shu chuckled upon hearing this, and couldn't help but slap her thigh with her right hand. She continued, "There's only one girl in this generation of the Ning family. She's been the apple of my eye since she was little, held in my mouth for fear of it melting, held in my arms for fear of it dropping. Learning martial arts, which is so hard and tiring, naturally wouldn't be her thing. So, unless you don't dare to fight back, raising a fist would scare her to tears! Hahaha!"

Looking at Jingshu who was laughing heartily on the tree, Ye Qi's face suddenly darkened. But when he thought about it, how could such a spoiled little girl be so determined to marry Jingshu?

Seeing Ye Qi silently pondering something, Jing Shu saw through his thoughts at a glance. She took a sip of wine and said, "Are you curious about why I know so much? Are you also curious about the connection between her and me?"

Ye Qi didn't say anything, just nodded. Seeing Jingshu turn sideways, she patted the branch next to her, motioning him to sit on it.

Ye Qi took two steps back, took a run-up, and then lightly tapped the tree trunk to gain leverage and jumped up, sitting next to Jingshu.

This story begins a year ago, when I had just arrived here. Ten miles outside Ningjiabao, there was a forest that was surrounded by fog all year round.

For some unknown reason, Ning Wanqing, who was only fifteen years old at that time, went there with the Ning Family Fort's guards!

I was walking alone in the dark fog forest. Because I was drunk, I was a little lost. I just kept walking forward but didn't know the direction.

As I was walking, I vaguely heard a faint, trembling breathing sound. Being a nosy person, I stumbled towards the source of the sound.

I saw a little girl lying on the edge of the swamp, covered in mud. She was lucky enough to be able to get out of that swamp that eats people without leaving any bones.

Unfortunately, the swamp at night not only eats people, it can also freeze people to death. It took me a lot of effort to drag her up. Her clothes were covered in mud and stuck to her body.

The cold mud was constantly absorbing the heat from her body, so I had no choice but to strip her naked and wash her!

At this point, Jingshu didn't know what she was thinking of, and she burst out laughing.

Ye Qi was extremely shocked when he heard this and sighed, "You just took the initiative to give the girl to..."

Jing Shu took a sip of her wine and said, "She doesn't have a pound of flesh on her body. I don't know what's the point of getting entangled with her... To save her, I even threw the jade pendant I've worn since childhood into the Black Mist Forest. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it!"

"So, is this why you've always hated me?"

Jingshu hummed lightly and replied, "Hmm!"

After he finished speaking, he realized belatedly that the person who had just spoken was not Ye Qi, but Ning Wanqing, who had quietly sat down under the tree at some point.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap sounded, and several finger marks appeared on Ning Wanqing's fair cheek. Tears couldn't help but flow from her eyes, then she stood up and disappeared into the deserted street.

Looking at Ning Wanqing's figure, Ye Qi felt a little worried. Although he didn't have much interaction with her, he could tell that she had been spoiled since childhood. Apart from a bit of a spoiled daughter's temper, she was actually very kind-hearted. After thinking it over, he looked at Jing Shu and reminded her, "She...seems to have listened to you..."

"Just listen to it! Besides throwing a little tantrum, what else can she do?"

Ye Qi still said worriedly: "I think with her personality, she might really do something unexpected!"

"You think too little of the Ning family. Stop meddling in their business and have a good night's sleep. We'll leave Ning's Castle tomorrow!"

Ye Qi was completely confused and wanted to ask more questions, but Jingshu jumped down from the tree and walked towards the inn not far away.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the two packed up their luggage and prepared to continue their journey, but unexpectedly they were bumped into by the head of the Ning family as soon as they walked out of the inn.

"Alas! Trouble is coming!"

Jingshu rubbed her forehead and turned away, not wanting to look at the head of the Ning family who was rushing over, but what was coming could not be avoided!

The head of the Ning family hurried over to Jingshu and asked anxiously, "Master Bai! My daughter is missing! The servants said that you were the last person she saw last night. Do you know where she went?"

"I don't know! If someone is missing, you should go to the government office. What's the point of looking for me?"

The head of the Ning family slapped his thigh in disappointment and said, "If the government office was useful, why would I come to see you, Mr. Bai?"

"I don't know where your daughter is, and I have something important to do. Goodbye!"

Jing Shu was about to drag Ye Qi away, but unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she heard Ye Qi say, "Your daughter might have gone to the Black Mist Forest!"

When the head of the Ning family heard the three words "Black Mist Forest", he was stunned. He repeated these three words in a trembling mouth, his face was ashen and he stopped talking, letting Jingshu and the others leave!

When he walked out of the city, Ye Qi's already slow pace stopped there. He could not ignore Ning Wanqing's disappearance.

Not to mention that this matter is related to the two of them, even if it is not related, leaving like this would go against the chivalrous spirit!

"What's wrong with you? Patriarch Ning isn't even worried about his daughter's life, and you're just sitting here worrying about something else!"

Ye Qi looked at Jing Shu seriously and said, "If it were you, I would save you without hesitation!"

"How arrogant of you to the point of not knowing your own limitations. Don't you have any sense of self-worth? You think you can go to the Black Mist Forest with your mediocre skills?"

After saying that, Jingshu gave him a cold look and continued walking alone without caring about anything!

Ye Qi smiled happily and said, "If you really die in the Black Mist Forest, it will just give you back your freedom!"

With every step Jingshu took, she felt more annoyed. Finally, she stopped and grumbled softly, "I really owed you in my last life!"
