Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 172 Leyang City

Mu Qingyao subconsciously put on her silk eye mask and said, "There's still a month until I start attending Qiankun Academy. If you have nothing else to do, would you please accompany me to the Northern Wasteland?"

Ye Qi pondered for a moment with some concern, then replied, "Well! Your body really can't hold out for too long, but if you just leave like this, I'm afraid it will take forever, right?"

"Don't worry about that. There's a traveler's port a hundred miles from here. There are monsters there that specialize in long-distance flying. We can go directly to the Northern Wilderness from there!"

"There is actually such a strange place that can raise flying monsters. It makes people curious about what kind of force is so powerful!" After hearing about this Traveler Port that he had never heard of, Ye Qi's face was full of curiosity and surprise.

As the two of them flew away on their swords, suddenly a graceful figure in pink appeared at the place where they had landed before. As the breeze blew, the silk gauze on her cheeks fluttered, revealing her beautiful face that had been hidden, and a peach blossom mark on her fair jade neck.

After almost a day of traveling, the two who were leaving finally saw the shadow of Leyang City. Mu Qingyao knew Ye Qi's personality. If he encountered injustice, he would definitely meddle in other people's affairs. However, this was not a trial ground. The two of them had no ability to resist in someone else's territory. So before entering Leyang City, she reminded him, "Ye Qi! Leyang City is ahead. It is said that the Le family is very arrogant and domineering. We need their help this time. Don't force yourself to intervene when something happens!"

"Don't worry! I'm not stupid! I know what's important and what's not!" Ye Qi promised solemnly.

Just after Ye Qi responded, he saw the huge crowd in front of the city gate. Countless people were pointing and talking, either mocking or sympathizing. But the focus of everyone's attention was a woman kneeling on the ground, motionless, even her lips were dry and white, and her red and swollen eye bags were dry and seemed about to close at any time!

"Miss Qingqing?"

Ye Qi saw that the woman was Qingqing, and she was even covered with a white cloth. Even when he called her, she did not respond at all, let alone her sister who never left her side. Although he didn't know what had happened, Ye Qi could see that she must have been wronged!

"Miss Qingqing, why are you kneeling here in mourning clothes? Get up quickly!"

As Ye Qi spoke, he forcibly supported her shoulders and dragged her up. However, Qingqing, who had been exposed to the sun for a whole day, no longer had the consciousness to resist. She just knelt there stupidly, immersed in grief and numbness!

"No wonder the Le family won't let her in. First, she was divorced by her husband's family, and now she's flirting with a strange man in public during the Le family's old man's funeral!"

"That's right! This slut is so shameless!"

"You haven't heard yet, right? My son saw this slut coming out of a strange man's room early in the morning when he was taking the exam for Qiankun Academy. I heard that the man even saved her from death. I don't believe they didn't do anything shameless!"

The onlookers around had different opinions, but no one spoke up to defend her. This is how the world is. Kind-hearted people don't like to meddle in other people's business, but evil-hearted people are very eloquent!

"Shut up! If you continue to spread rumors about Miss Qingqing's innocence, I will cut off your tongues one by one!"

Looking at those dirty and ugly faces, Ye Qi excitedly drew out his sword and threatened them to shut up. For a moment, everyone was scared and ran around, causing yellow sand to fly everywhere in front of the city gate. The scene was very lively!

At this moment, a middle-aged man came out with a group of servants, pointed at Qingqing and angrily shouted, "You shameless and unfilial daughter! The Le family raised you for more than ten years, and this is how you repay their kindness?"

"Father! Please let me see grandpa off for the last time!" After seeing the middle-aged man, Qingqing's originally listless expression suddenly became excited. She walked a few steps on her knees to the man, hugged his thighs and cried!

The middle-aged man whom Qingqing called her father was furious when he saw her being so servile. He kicked her to the ground like a pet dog. Looking at her sobbing and the onlookers nearby, he said angrily, "Your grandfather died of your anger. Why don't you anger me to death too!"

After the man finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, broke free from his daughter who was tugging at his arm and begging him, and walked away. He didn't care at all whether his daughter would be drowned by the spit of the onlookers after he left in such a carefree manner!

Seeing his father walk away in disappointment, Qingqing could no longer hold on to his tired body and collapsed to the ground!

"Miss Qingqing! Wake up!"

Seeing that she was very weak and her body was burning hot, Ye Qi hurriedly picked her up and ran into Leyang City with Mu Qingyao. However, no clinic or inn was willing to take them in. In the end, Mu Qingyao had to use a sword to force an innkeeper to take them in, and they barely found a place to stay!

"Miss Mu! She has a high fever now, but there is no doctor in the city willing to treat her. What should we do now?" Ye Qi asked worriedly.

Mu Qingyao touched her burning forehead, then placed the back of his hand against her neck, which was slightly red from the sun. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go get a wooden bucket, prepare some warm water, and then stand guard outside the door and don't let anyone in!"

After hearing her voice, Ye Qi understood what she meant and ran out of the door. This time, without any further ado, he put his sword on the neck of the innkeeper, scaring him so much that he hurried to arrange a wooden barrel and warm water himself!

When Mu Qingyao and Qingqing dived into the water as smoothly as fish, the slight coolness still made Qingqing shiver. However, this really worked wonders. Not long after, Qingqing became more conscious, and the redness and swelling on her skin from the sun also subsided a lot!

"You...you are..."

Qingqing forced herself to open her eyes, but suddenly found that the person sitting opposite her was a naked woman, and she seemed to be stripped naked as well. She was so shy that she quickly hugged herself!

"Where is this?"

Seeing her intense reaction and her body functions recovering well, Mu Qingyao felt relieved. However, she did not answer her immediately. Instead, she stood up from the wooden barrel and walked to the side to dry herself and put on her dress under Qingqing's eyes!

"This is an inn in Leyang City!"

Hearing that this place was in Leyang City, she stood up instantly and was about to run away, even forgetting that she was still naked. Fortunately, Mu Qingyao, who had put on his clothes, pressed the door that was about to open in time, and then scanned her from head to toe!

"what!"

Qingqing finally reacted, suddenly screamed, and then ran back behind the screen with her face covered!

"Miss Qingqing! We're waiting for you in the next room!"
