Looking for you in reincarnation

Ning Ji was once a disciple of Taiyi Sect, but was expelled from the sect due to some misunderstandings. Although the misunderstanding was later resolved, Ning Ji was unwilling to return to the sect, and instead returned to his hometown in Gucheng to settle down.

Chen Jing came to find him. It was undeniable that Ning Ji was very skilled and his overall ability was once the strongest among the disciples of the sect. However, the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, so he became a thorn in the eyes of some people and was plotted against.

Other sects had previously sent people to investigate the evil spirit intrusion outside Lunte City, but those who went there were in great danger of death, so Taiyi Sect specially sent some powerful disciples here.

To be on the safe side, Chen Jing came to visit Ning Ji on the way to see if he could persuade him to go with him, and then told him some information about the situation in Shitou Village.

"Exorcising evil spirits is the way of the righteous. If Senior Brother Ning has time, could you please come with us?"

As soon as Chen Jing finished speaking, Si He came over with water and placed the cup on the table in front of them in an orderly and polite manner.

"Thank you very much." Chen Jing thanked her politely before saying to Ning Ji, "Of course, if Senior Brother Ning is worried about my cousin being alone at home, you can take her with you. Once we get to Lunte City, we can put her up in an inn there and keep her out of danger."

Upon hearing this, Si He couldn't help but look at Chen Jing.

Noticing her gaze, Chen Jing suddenly felt his heart beating faster and his whole body felt like something was wrong.

He didn't dare look directly into Si He's eyes, fearing that he would lose his composure, so he quickly picked up the water glass on the table and drank several gulps, looking as if he was extremely thirsty.

Ning Ji had some thoughts of going, not because of any righteous act of upholding justice and eliminating evil for the people, but because he wanted to see what kind of powerful evil spirit could cause several small sects who went to exorcise it to suffer heavy losses and return empty-handed.

He looked at Si He and saw her smiling and said, "Cousin, don't worry about me. I have also heard that the disciples of the immortal sect are very capable, but I have never had the opportunity to see them. If I am lucky enough to go there, I will be very happy."

Chen Jing, who was standing by, looked up in surprise and agreed, "My cousin is absolutely right. There's no harm in gaining some experience, and we won't put you in any danger."

Si He felt a little conflicted. Who was his cousin?

But as a girl, she couldn't say anything, so she kept silent.

Ning Ji thought for a while, then nodded and agreed to go and take a look together.

Seeing this, Si He retreated so as not to disturb their conversation.

After returning to the backyard, Si He sat on a chair in front of the house, looked up at the setting sun in the sky, and thought about her future plans.

After coming to this strange world, she originally just wanted to escape from the cage of Si Mansion. She didn't want to be someone's concubine or become someone else's plaything. She just wanted to find a peaceful place and live a good life in anonymity.

But the experiences of the past few days have changed her mind. She wants to become stronger, to see the vast world, to learn about new things she never had the chance to touch before, and to be able to walk freely in the world.

Following Ning Ji is also a good opportunity, which will make her future path smoother.

At this moment, Momo climbed onto her hand, interrupting her thoughts.

She smiled and stroked its head, and it rubbed against her fingers clingingly, which was very cute.

The next morning, after breakfast, Ning Ji moved the food in his home to a hidden cellar to prevent it from being stolen when no one was at home.

Seeing this, Si He went back into the house and hid some clothes in the cellar. She was mainly afraid that the parchment scroll wrapped in the clothes would be stolen and cause trouble.

Ning Ji saw this and said nothing.

Before going out, Ning Ji put on his iron mask to cover the horrifying scar.

Si He also took a larger cloth and wrapped her head and face, leaving only her forehead and eyes exposed, hiding her beautiful face. She was dressed in a coarse blue cloth, carrying a small bundle on her back, and followed Ning Ji with her head lowered, very humble.

This trip to Lunt City is not only to visit the Stone Village, but also to look for some herbs in the mountains, refine them into medicines and sell them for money. Si He agrees with this very much.

Before leaving the city, Ning Ji took the refined medicines to the pharmacy to sell and earned a lot of silver. This opened Si He's eyes. She didn't expect that his medicine refining skills were so good that he could sell them for so much silver!

After that, she would help him find more herbs, so why would she need to copy books to make money?

Si He thought happily.

After selling the medicine, she followed Ning Ji to the city gate, and then hired a carriage at the city gate. After all, Lunt City was more than a hundred miles away from Gu City.

As soon as Si He got on the carriage, Chen Jing and a group of fellow disciples came out of the city. Each of them rode a tall horse and was dressed in extraordinary clothes, attracting a lot of attention.

People on the road looked towards them, and when they saw the uniform sect uniforms on them, their eyes were filled with even more respect.

"Senior Brother Ning."

When Chen Jing saw Ning Ji at the city gate, he waved and greeted him.

Ning Ji just nodded faintly.

When fellow disciples of Taiyi Sect saw this, their expressions varied. Some looked disdainful, some were very surprised, and their eyes were full of inquiry.

Chen Jing noticed Si He in front of the carriage window and almost called her cousin, but he quickly restrained himself and just nodded reservedly.

Si He looked indifferent, and was unmoved by his passionate gaze. She turned her head and retreated back into the carriage.

The others followed Chen Jing's gaze and glanced at the figure in the carriage, but she was wrapped tightly and they could only tell that it was probably a girl, so they quickly looked away.

Except for Chen Jing, no one else from Taiyi Sect greeted Ning Ji. After looking at him for a few seconds, they rode away on their horses.

Chen Jing had no choice but to say to Ning Ji, "Senior Brother Ning, let's meet in Lunte City."

Ning Ji nodded and got on the carriage. Chen Jing hurriedly spurred his horse to chase after his fellow disciples who had run away.

The carriage slowly drove towards the official road. After Ning Ji got on the carriage, he closed his eyes and rested because he had been busy refining medicinal materials last night and did not go to bed until very late.

Seeing this, Si He sat quietly aside, occasionally looking out of the car, and occasionally teasing Mo Mo that was wrapped around her wrist.

The official road was relatively wide and flat, and the carriage traveled smoothly all the way, but despite this, it still took nearly a day to reach the city of Lunt.

Lunte City is about the same size as Gu City and is located on the other side of the Tianshan Mountains. This side is not affected by the war and has a relatively prosperous population, with people coming and going at the city gate.

The carriage stopped at the city gate and the two men got off and went into the city.

Ning Ji found an inn in the city and asked for two guest rooms.

Si He was about to take the silver from his pocket, but Ning Ji was quick enough to give the silver to the shopkeeper.

Seeing this, Si He put the silver away. At worst, she would pay the bill when they had dinner later.
