Dongfang Qingmo and Huangfu Yi sat on either side of the carriage, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the carriage seemed a little awkward.

Qian Shuishui sat in the middle, looking at this and then that, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

What is going on with these two people?

Why are they holding hands for no reason?

Could it be that Qing Mo has already captured Huangfu Yi? !

However, neither of them spoke, so she didn't dare to ask rashly.

The carriage started slowly, and the sound of the wheels rolling echoed in the air, as if telling of an unknown journey.

Yunmei and Dahua drove the carriage and took everyone away from Lianyi City.

Chunhua, Qiushi and others sat in the carriage at the back, looking at the scenery ahead.

Following behind was a large cart of luggage, which contained the supplies they would need for their future lives.

The group marched through Ripple City and headed north towards the grassland.

At this time, Elder Yu was standing on the city wall, looking at the departing team and sighed deeply.

In the end, the young master still didn't wait for the sect leader. When will the relationship between the two be eased?

He shook his head helplessly, turned and left the city wall, his heart full of worry.

-

On the carriage.

They were silent all the way, but Qian Shuishui finally couldn't help but speak: "Qingmo, how many days will it take us to get to the grassland?"

Dongfang Qingmo thought for a moment and said, "It seems to take half a month..."

She planned to have the battle for half a month, but this was just an ideal situation, and the actual situation might be different. She chose to ride in the same carriage with Huangfu Yi because she hoped he could protect her and Qian Shuishui.

At this time, Huangfu Yi's calm voice came: "At your current speed, it will take a month to reach the grassland."

Dongfang Qingmo and Qian Shuishui were both stunned, and then looked at each other speechlessly.

The prerequisite for half a month's speed is to work at full speed.

Now they are sitting in the carriage and swaying around. How can they reach their destination within half a month?

"What should we do then?" Dongfang Qingmo asked anxiously.

After a month, the daylilies have gone cold.

Huangfu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Speed ​​up!"

"..."

That's all.

Dongfang Qingmo said in a deep voice, "Sister Yun, Dahua, hurry up and try to cover as much distance as possible."

"Yes!"

Following Dongfang Qingmo's order, both of them understood the urgency of the matter and immediately adjusted their strategies, swinging the whips in their hands more frequently but more rhythmically to ensure that they would not over-exploit the horses.

If the car in front goes faster, the car behind will naturally speed up.

The carriage sped along the winding road, leaving behind a trail of flying dust.

Dongfang Qingmo sat in the carriage, which was shaking so much that she couldn't hold her breath several times.

I forced myself to suppress it by eating sour plums.

Huangfu Yi and Qian Shuishui are in good physical condition and are not affected at all.

Qian Shuishui looked at her worriedly, "Qingmo, are you really okay?"

Dongfang Qingmo shook his head, a smile forced upon his pale face, "It's okay, it'll be fine once you get used to it."

It’s so uncomfortable!!!

Dongfang Qingmo pulled open the curtain and stuck his head out.

She finally felt much better after breathing in the fresh air.

The carriage was too small and she was suffocating.

Qian Shuishui spread the map on her knees and studied it carefully, occasionally looking through the car window at the terrain outside, trying to match the markings on the map.

"Let's go this way." Huangfu Yi raised his eyes lazily and pointed to an area on the map.

Dongfang Qingmo came back to his senses and looked in the direction Huangfu Yi pointed. His eyes suddenly widened and he asked in disbelief, "Is this the way up the mountain?!"

Qian Shuishui nodded: "Yes..."

Going up the mountain means spending more time and physical strength, which is not an easy task.

Huangfu Yi looked at the two of them and said casually, "If we continue along this path, we'll reach Sunset City before dark."

This was the route he took back from the isolated island in the sea.

Qian Shuishui subconsciously looked for the location of Sunset City on the map, trying to determine whether this new route was feasible.

Dongfang Qingmo was the first to find the target, pointing to a small dot on the map and saying, "Here."

Qian Shuishui took a closer look, then pointed to where they were and explained, "We are here now."

It can be seen from the map that they had just left Ripple City not long ago. If they follow the original route, they will not reach Sunset City until tomorrow afternoon.

Dongfang Qingmo stared at the map, thinking about the changes brought about by the new route.

After a while, she raised her head and said firmly, "If we can arrive earlier by taking this road, then let's go up the mountain."

However, she was still a little worried and couldn't help asking Huangfu Yi: "Is there any danger?"

After all, there are rumors that there may be dangerous factors such as bandits in the mountains.

She couldn't help swallowing, feeling uneasy. The thoughts of the belongings she was carrying emerged in her mind, and she was worried that she would be targeted by robbers.

Huangfu Yi shook his head slightly to express his denial.

Hearing this, Qian Shuishui finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "That's good."

However, Huangfu Yi immediately dealt a heavy blow to the two of them.

"do not know."

"..."

Qian Shuishui couldn't help but roll her eyes, muttering to herself: I don't know what you are talking about.

Dongfang Qingmo frowned and asked, "Can we still leave?"

Huangfu Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a helpless expression, and replied: "It's up to you."

He didn't seem to care, since he couldn't do anything if he encountered a robber anyway.

Dongfang Qingmo thought for a while, then slowly said, "Let's go."

Qian Shuishui blinked, secretly feeling that this decision seemed a bit hasty.

Dongfang Qingmo gave her a calming look.

She is very confident in herself.

Qian Shuishui pursed her lips, but ultimately chose to believe it.

She walked to the door with the map and showed Yunmei and Dahua the route.

The two immediately changed direction and continued forward.

Qian Shuishui returned to the carriage and saw Dongfang Qingmo sleeping quietly by the window, while Huangfu Yi was sitting beside him with his eyes closed.

Qian Shuishui couldn't help but curl her lips, walked over to sit next to Dongfang Qingmo, and gently placed her head on her shoulder, thinking that this would be more comfortable.

Time passed minute by minute, night fell, and Dongfang Qingmo still hadn't woken up.

Qian Shuishui curiously reached out and touched Dongfang Qingmo's cheek, then touched her own face. She looked around and murmured softly, "You don't have a fever, so why are you sleeping all the time..."

She gently shook Dongfang Qingmo's arm and called softly, "Qingmo? Qingmo?"

Huangfu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Don't disturb her, she is rebuilding her meridians."

Qian Shuishui was surprised. Wasn’t it all completed yesterday?

"The power contained in the Chaos Root is not so easy to be completely absorbed." Huangfu Yi explained.

"So that's how it is~" Qian Shuishui suddenly realized.

At this time, a "cuckoo" sound came from the carriage.

Qian Shuishui suddenly felt embarrassed because she was hungry.

She had just eaten some pastries, and now it was time for dinner, so she was completely hungry.

Huangfu Yi raised his eyebrows, "I guess there's still one stick of incense left."

Qian Shuishui shrank her head in embarrassment.

A fierce voice came from outside the carriage, "Who is coming?"

Dahua quickly pulled the reins to stop the horse.

"Xu~~"

"Who are you!" Yunmei jumped off the carriage and saw the scarred face in front of her through the moonlight.

He was followed by six or seven younger brothers.

"Hmph!" Scarface snorted coldly, placing the sword on his shoulder on the ground, one hand on it, and the other pointing at the carriages lined up behind Yunmei. "On my territory, I should be asking you this."

"That's right!" The younger brother behind him quickly echoed.

Qian Shuishui frowned and looked at Huangfu Yi for advice: "Hey! What should we do?!"

Huangfu Yi shrugged and said indifferently, "Whatever you want."

The implication is to let Qian Shuishui make her own decision.

Qian Shuishui asked anxiously, "Can Qingmo be awakened like this?"

Huangfu Yi replied helplessly: "Try and see if you can wake her up!"

Qian Shuishui gently shook Dongfang Qingmo again, but the result was obvious, Dongfang Qingmo did not react at all.

Qian Shuishui gritted her teeth, glared at Huangfu Yi, then carefully laid Dongfang Qingmo down and said softly, "Hey, take good care of her. I'll go down and check on the situation."

Huangfu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, as a response to Qian Shuishui's request.

Qian Shuishui turned around and jumped off the carriage, with a smile on his face, and politely said to the people who blocked his way: "My dear friends, we are just passing through here. Please be kind and let us pass."

"Haha, we will also give you some convenience." The scarred man stared at another fair-skinned, handsome man getting off the carriage. He suddenly felt thirsty and couldn't help licking his lips, rubbing his hands, and staring at Qian Shuishui with fiery eyes.

Qian Shuishui was wearing a gorgeous dress made of high-quality materials and fine tailoring, which was obviously worth a lot of money.

Coupled with the jade pendant hanging around his waist, one can tell at a glance that he is a young man from a wealthy family.

Scarface's eyes flashed with greed: "Hehe, it looks like we can make a lot of money today."

Qian Shuishui sneered in her heart but remained calm on the surface.

She pulled Yunmei behind her, then placed her hands on her hips, raised her head and chest, and said loudly with a proud attitude, "Hmph, this young master will remain true to his name. I am the closed disciple of the master of the Fireworks Sect, Yang Wei!"

Yunmei was startled by Qian Shuishui's sudden action, but soon understood her intention.

She hid behind Qian Shuishui and laughed secretly.

Qian Shuishui deliberately puffed out his chest to make himself look more manly.

At the same time, she deliberately spoke in a low voice to increase her credibility.

Sure enough, Scarface was slightly stunned after hearing this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

But then he revealed a look of doubt, and looked at Qian Shuishui carefully and said: "Oh, he is still a closed disciple!"

Scarface spoke as he walked around Qian Shuishui, looking her up and down.

His eyes lingered on Qian Shuishui's clothes and accessories, as if trying to determine whether these things were really related to the Flame Gate.

Qian Shuishui was a little nervous, but she pretended to be calm and continued to maintain her arrogant attitude.

She looked at Scarface with a scornful smile on her lips and said, "Why? Don't you believe me? I'm a genuine disciple of the Flame Sect!"

Scarface had a playful expression on his face when he heard this.

He sneered, "Oh, here I don't care whether you are a disciple or not. Leave some money for passage, otherwise don't even think about passing through here!"

"That's right! Hand over the money!" The younger brothers behind the scarred man also raised the big knives in their hands and shouted loudly at Qian Shuishui.

Their voices were deafening, echoing through the mountains and forests, and seemed extremely arrogant.

Seeing this, Yunmei couldn't help but stand up and pointed at Scarface with her eyes wide open, scolding him, "You bold lunatics! How dare you rob us! Do you know who we are?"

However, Scarface and the younger brothers behind him were not intimidated by Yunmei's aura, but instead burst into laughter.

They thought Yunmei's words were simply a fantasy, a servant actually dared to yell at them.

Scarface laughed so hard he was out of breath, tears almost streaming down his face. He finally managed to stop laughing and gasped, "Hahahahahahaha...this is ridiculous! How dare a servant call himself someone?"

Yunmei was so angry that her face turned red. She clenched her fists and was ready to rush forward to teach Scarface a lesson.

However, at this moment, Qian Shuishui stopped her and shook her head gently.

She signaled Yunmei not to be impulsive, so as to avoid further deterioration of the situation.

"Little pretty boy, do you know whose territory this is?" Scarface sneered, "Let me tell you, this is my territory, and my words are the rules!"

He didn't believe that the person in front of him was Yang Xu from the Yanhuo Sect.

Trying to scare him is impossible.

"Don't force me to do it." Qian Shuishui narrowed her eyes and twisted her wrist.

It seems that the name of Fireworks Gate is not useful.

She hates being called a pretty boy the most.

Let’s use the most primitive method.

The rest of the people also came behind Qian Shuishui.

Scarface looked at Qian Shuishui with a hint of disdain on his face.

He felt that this pretty boy was just a guy who liked to show off and was no match for him at all.

He decided to give the other party a warning to let him know how powerful he was.

So, Scarface took a step forward, glared and threatened: "Boy, you'd better know your place, or don't blame me for being rude."

The younger brothers raised their knives: "You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Qian Shuishui smiled slightly and was not frightened by Scarface's threat.

She wanted to have a good talk with him and both sides should take a step back.

I didn't expect them to be so tactless.

In that case, don't blame her for being rude.

Instead, she took a step forward and stood face to face with Scarface.

The distance between the two was very close, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Scarface was shocked. He didn't expect that this young man was so brave that he dared to look him in the eye.

He felt an invisible pressure coming at him, making it hard for him to breathe.

He realized he might have run into a tough opponent, but he refused to show weakness. He gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, do you think you can scare me like this? Let me tell you, I'm not someone you can mess with!"

Qian Shuishui snorted coldly, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
