The next morning, Chen'an changed Fugui's bandages and put it in the cat carrier he had been busy preparing all night.
On the outer side was a thin wooden strip wrapped in cloth, with two small holes on the side, just big enough for Fugui to stick his head out. Although the workmanship was rough, it was indeed the best condition Chen'an could provide.
As Chen An was leaving, he looked back. The room he had lived in for so long was still simple, and the creaking bed had not yet been repaired.
She didn't have much attachment to this place; instead, she was looking forward to her new life. After gently tapping the cat carrier, she said, "Let's go."
Fu Gui meowed in agreement.
The entrance to the Qing Mansion was bustling with activity.
Qing Yusheng, the patriarch of the Qing family, stood in the crowd with his wife Su Wan. A dozen elders at the Qi Opening stage stood on both sides. Among the dozens of younger people, only Qing Yue and Qing Xuan had the talent for cultivation.
According to Qingxuan, when Chen'an was brought back and was still unconscious, the Qing family tested her and determined that she was capable of cultivation, but they only agreed to take her with them and were unwilling to provide anything more.
It seems they are betting on whether Chen An can succeed. If he succeeds, they will definitely repay the Qing family. If he fails, the Qing family can afford to pay for the expenses Chen An incurred on his journey.
The air was filled with the smell of sulfur, and everyone's face was beaming with joy. Even the stone lions on either side of the vermilion gate were adorned with large red flowers.
The female lead left at the same time as Chen An, but arrived a full hour late.
She was wearing a light pink ruffled dress and looked aggrieved. As soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention. After looking around, she locked her gaze on Chen An behind Qing Xuan.
Chen An guessed what she was going to say, so he spoke up before the female lead could. After spending these days together, Chen An knew that her foundation was to incite public anger: "Miss, I can't bear to part with Fugui. Please let me take it with me. It already has no mother, and it can't lose me too."
The crowd looked at Qingyue with displeasure, especially the elders who had cultivated their skills. They had lived for one or two hundred years and had seen many people. They could naturally see through the nature of these teenagers. Wherever Qingyue went, trouble was bound to arise. And now, trouble was brewing before she even left. No wonder the girl standing opposite her today was causing such a scene.
The female protagonist was speechless for a moment, and tears began to fall as usual.
Xu Siluo, standing in the crowd, narrowed her eyes and muttered a curse at Chen An, "Bitch." Then she stepped forward to help her beloved out of the predicament.
As the head of the family, Qing Yusheng acted as a peacemaker to demonstrate his magnanimity.
After setting off, Chen An and his servants followed the carriage. Because of his limp, he had to increase his pace, and within an hour, he was so tired that he could hardly breathe.
The female protagonist looked at Chen An behind the carriage, slowly turned her head, took a small bite of the chilled watermelon, and chuckled lightly, with a slightly provocative air.
Chen An gave her the middle finger. Although Qing Yue didn't know what it meant, she felt uncomfortable all over. But when she saw how exhausted Chen An was, she felt better.
"Miss Chen, come up with me." Qing Xuan lifted the curtain and looked around for a long time before speaking.
Chen An knew that Qing Xuan wasn't a good person either, but for her, she still had a mission to drug him, so at least she wouldn't be killed right now. She immediately got into the car.
Qingxuan waited until Chen An was seated, then reached out and released the kitten, holding it on his lap. Looking at the well-behaved little creature, he smiled both in his eyes and in his heart.
The woman in front of him, who should have been the villainous supporting character, was now incredibly gentle, leaving Chen An completely baffled.
After traveling for nearly a month, we finally arrived at the foot of Zhaoning Sect. Even those without any cultivation could feel the unusual spiritual energy here.
The hundreds of mountain peaks behind them are all the territory of the Zhaoning Sect. The spiritual energy on the mountains is more abundant and pure, which makes many test participants yearn for it.
At the foot of the mountain, the shops that provide food and drink for the disciples are arranged in a well-organized manner. They offer a wide variety of food and drinks, and the taste is also very good. Some of them are even old shops that are nearly a thousand years old.
Qingxuan led everyone to finally find a run-down little hotel, but the price was ten times that of other places.
By this time, anyone who wanted to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony had already arrived, and even if it was expensive, they had no choice but to accept it.
She calculated the travel expenses; besides the three of them, the escorts were two people per room.
At night, Chen An pulled the thin blanket up and fell asleep peacefully, while Fu Gui darted around, practicing his hunting skills against thin air.
Moonlight streamed through the window and shone on the wall. A moment later, a dark figure crept into the room.
The kitten hissed at the dark figure as it retreated. Chen An noticed something was wrong and gripped the poplar hairpin in her hand tightly. Fu Gui seemed to sense something and jumped into her arms.
The man in black had no intention of giving up. He quietly took out a dagger from his pocket and walked towards Chen An.
Chen An looked at the shadow on the wall, and the moment the other party raised his dagger to stab him, he turned around and stabbed the man in black in the neck with his hairpin.
The man in black was quite skilled; after dodging the attack, the hairpin pierced his arm, and he dropped his dagger as he cried out in pain.
Chen An picked up the dagger and stabbed it at the man in black. The man in black realized he was in trouble, grabbed the blade that was stabbing into his chest, kicked Chen An to the ground, picked up Fu Gui with one hand, and jumped out of the window.
Chen An guessed that he couldn't have gone far due to his serious injuries, so he immediately chased after him, but the long street was deserted.
[By finding Fugui, the host will receive one of the following rewards.]
Health +4, Strength +30, Appearance +5, Talent +5, Secret Technique: Fireball, Mind Reading three times.
Failure deducts 20 health points.
Does the host accept the challenge?
"accept."
Chen An only suspected one person: that idiot Xu Siluo.
Qingyue broke Fugui's leg, but like Chen'an, she had no cultivation and couldn't have escaped so quickly. The only one who still hates her now is Xu Siluo.
Back at the inn, everyone was still asleep.
Chen An, having calculated the route, knocked on the female lead's door.
Upon learning that it was Chen An, the female protagonist muttered a few curses under her breath before tidying her belongings in front of the mirror.
Upon opening the door, a light green, sheer nightgown hung loosely on the woman's body.
With a sob in his voice, Chen An said softly, "Miss, my stomach hurts so much. I don't dare to go to anyone else, so I have to come to you. You are the kindest person. Please, please take me to the doctor."
Hearing the cries, many people gathered around. Qingyue, suppressing her anger, helped Chen An up.
Chen An deliberately leaned her weight onto Qing Yue, who then led her forward step by step.
In the distance, Xu Siluo's door was closed, but the light was on.
After passing by Xu Siluo's door, Chen An leaned against Qing Yue and then suddenly fell down towards Xu Siluo's door.
With a loud thud, Chen An, along with the door frame, fell to the ground.
Inside the room, Xu Siluo had Fugui's neck choked with her left hand, while holding a flint and rope in her right.
After Chen An got up, he quickly went forward and took Fu Gui from him.
Everyone who saw this scene felt contempt and disgust, and even Qingyue felt a slight displeasure.
Xu Siluo's right eye twitched twice, and she laughed awkwardly, "I only prepared toys for Fugui because I saw he was bored." She then chuckled dryly.
Only he could come up with such a lame excuse.
Although Xu Siluo is a complete sycophant, he is also the son of the city lord of a mid-level city, a relationship that is difficult for the Qing family to attain.
If she is not selected, Qingyue has the idea of marrying Xu Siluo, who is the legitimate son of a mid-level city lord and is very easy to control.
After weighing the pros and cons, Qingyue spoke up: "Brother Siluo has always been very kind and loves kittens. Sister, don't overthink it." Every time the female lead cries, her nose and cheeks turn red. Whether it's because of the author's description in the book Chen An transmigrated into, she is truly captivating and excessively beautiful.
The onlookers didn't care about the cat's life or death; they were just disgusted by Xu Siluo's bullying of the weak. After all, in a place where people could die at any moment, how many people would care about a cat?
Qingxuan wanted to say something for Chen An, but for the sake of her family, she could only speak up for Qing Yue: "Miss Chen must have misunderstood. It's time to go back."
After realizing his recklessness, Chen An didn't delve into it further. He believed that as long as he continued to grow stronger, he would be able to take revenge one day.
Back in the room, Chen An carefully checked Fu Gui's body and only let it play in the room after confirming that it was not injured.
