Chapter 156 New Chapter (2)
Cangyue Kingdom Quezhou Temple
Two days later in the evening, Hu Zi knocked on the door of a temple in Quezhou and asked if he could stay overnight.
The temple door opened, and a middle-aged monk said, "Amitabha, what can I do for you, benefactor?"
"Master, we are travelers. I wonder if we can stay overnight with you? We have two female relatives," Hu Zi said politely.
"Monks, be kind to others and to yourself. Donors, please come in!"
Several people stayed in the side rooms of the temple, and the monks also served them a table of vegetarian food. Although there was no meat, it was still very delicious.
While eating, Su Su asked, "Brother You, how many days will it take for us to reach Quezhou?"
"Judging from the current speed, we can reach Quezhou City the afternoon of the day after tomorrow," said the pigeon.
"It's finally here. I've been riding in the carriage for the past month and it's almost shaking me to death." Ye Ling shook his head.
"It's almost time, girl. Your senior brother told you to be more careful with the emperor," said Youminglang.
"I know everything even if he doesn't tell me, but I don't know what's going on in the capital."
"Qiu Zhen's affairs will not be discovered so soon. Now it depends on whether King Beichen can bring Nangong Xuan down. The people in the Noble House in the capital are my confidants. I have already sent a letter. Once the matter has a result, he will send a pigeon to Quezhou as soon as possible," said Youminglang.
"The journey to Quezhou is not easy!" Ye Ling muttered, "By the way, starting tomorrow, we will go our separate ways. I will go ahead for an hour. When we get to Quezhou, you can go about your own business. If I need help, I will go to the Guiren Pavilion."
"Okay, I will leave an hour later tomorrow. You just need to be careful and prudent, and don't act rashly." Youminglang was a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'm most afraid of death, so I'm very cautious. Besides, we still have Jiuyou," Ye Ling said with a smile.
"Fortunately, you have a steady junior brother like you who is always with you, otherwise it would be very difficult."
"Master Youlou, what you said... makes it seem like I'm not very serious on a daily basis."
"Is not it?"
The two of them bickered while eating, and time passed quickly.
The next morning, Ye Ling set off first. In the carriage, she looked at Su Su and said, "Um...Su Su, are you sick? You feel a little tired."
Su Su shook his head: "I don't know! I just feel a little dizzy and want to sleep."
"Then you are sick. If you want to sleep, go to sleep quickly!" Ye Ling took advantage of Su Su's sleep last night and did something to her.
Su Su fell asleep involuntarily, and Jiu You immediately stopped the car: "Senior Sister."
"You unload the car first, I'll settle Su Su." Ye Ling said, and then took Su Su into the space, put her in the room where Xue Jingchuan had slept before, and covered her with a quilt: "Mengmeng, are you sure your high-tech is reliable?"
"Master, don't worry. Nowadays, you are leveling up quickly by killing monsters, and the space is naturally becoming more and more high-tech. This hibernation needle can allow her to sleep for a month without any damage to her body. After waking up, it will be like she had a dream in a daze," Mengmeng explained flying around.
"That's good." Ye Ling changed into black men's clothes and then left the space with peace of mind.
Jiuyou had already unloaded the carriage: "Senior Sister, how about I accompany you outside."
"No need. I'm alone and my visibility is small. You just stay in the space honestly." Ye Ling said as he tightened the saddle, and then waved his hand. Jiuyou and the three horses along with the carriage disappeared on the spot.
Ye Ling jumped on his horse, turned around on the spot, used his internal energy to wipe out the traces of his footsteps on the ground, and then rode away, disappearing at the end of the official road.
Jiuyou started his daily life in the space. He first went to the stable to feed the horses, then took a shower, changed into clean clothes, put the clothes into the washing machine, and then cleaned up. Ye Ling liked to put things wherever he went, and could be said to be very sloppy. He was already familiar with this magical space, and Ye Ling also allowed him to enter and exit any room.
Jiuyou took almost half an hour to clean up Ye Ling's messy bedroom and living room.
During this period, Mengmeng never stopped talking, always looking for topics to chat about, but Jiuyou always just perfunctorily answered with words like "hmm" and "oh".
Meng Meng was so angry that she almost became depressed: "Jiuyou, I've said so much to you, can you at least say something back?"
"Oh," Jiuyou said again, then picked up the sword, entered the training room, took off his coat, and began to practice the first ten moves of the Jade Snow Thirty-Six Swords taught to him by Ye Ling over and over again.
Jiuyou was laughed at by his peers for being stupid since he was a child, so he has always been very inferior. Later, Ye Tingzhan told him that diligence can make up for lack of talent. Because of these four words, he began to work harder and practice more diligently than others, which led to his current achievements. Just like Mo Yufeng said, he is not a master, but he is not low either.
Two full hours passed before Jiuyou emerged from the training room, drenched in sweat. His white underwear clung tightly to his muscular chest, outlining the perfect lines of his muscles. His pectoral muscles were broad and thick, his abdominal muscles tight and well-defined, as if sculpted, neatly arranged, showcasing his formidable core strength. His arms were thick and powerful, veins bulging, as if imbued with boundless power. His shoulders were broad and solid, giving off a sense of security.
Meng Meng drooled as she watched, "Jiuyou, don't let the Master see you like this. She'll get a nosebleed and might even eat you up."
Jiuyou grabbed Mengmeng, threw her out of the room, and closed the door. Before he could turn around, Mengmeng came back in and said proudly, "This space is all mine. I can teleport anywhere. Why are you throwing me away again? If you do, I'll watch you take a shower."
Jiuyou was not to be outdone: "I will tell Senior Sister."
"No, no, no," Meng Meng immediately became timid: "My master is a jealous person, I dare not provoke her."
Jiuyou ignored it, took another shower, put on his clothes and went to the utility room. He took out a piece of wood from the box and started looking for a handy tool.
"What are you going to do now? Wow! This wood is not cheap! Phoebe nanmu, where did you buy it from? How much did it cost? Do you know that nanmu cannot be privately owned by ordinary people? Speak up?" Mengmeng asked while flying around.
Jiuyou completely ignored it, found the tools and started repairing the wood.
"No! How can you repair such a good thing like this? It's such a waste. What are you going to do? Will you tell me or not? If you don't speak, I will never tell you what happens outside the space in the future." Mengmeng was so anxious that she was spinning around.
Jiuyou said as he repaired it: "You are not allowed to tell Senior Sister about this, otherwise I will never speak to you again."
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you," Mengmeng agreed in a servile manner. It was really bored and urgently needed someone who could talk to it.
"I asked my senior brother to secretly buy this from someone, for five hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels! You spent five hundred taels on a piece of wood, and now you're breaking it? What's your intention?"
"This is a secret. I can't tell you. The money was given to me by my senior sister before. I have food and drink, so it's just sitting there anyway."
"So you just bought a piece of wood to play with? Jiuyou, you're such a spendthrift! How is our master going to support you in the future?"
"I'm easy to feed, just give me food. Where is Senior Sister?"
"It's getting dark, she should be here soon. She didn't even take a break at noon and ran all the way!"
"Remind her to rest. If she can't make it, she can arrive tomorrow. There's no need to rush."
"Got it!" Meng Meng obediently conveyed Jiuyou's words to Ye Ling: "Master, your Jiuyou asked you to rest. If you really can't, go to the city tomorrow."
Ye Ling outside said, "We can see the city gate. We're here."
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Ling dismounted and led the horse to read the notice at the lower city gate. Due to the plague, people were only allowed to enter Quezhou but not leave.
"Hurry up, hurry up, are you coming in or not? The city gate is about to close," the soldiers guarding the city urged Ye Ling.
"Closing the city gate so early?" Ye Ling was puzzled.
"You don't know, sir, the plague has just been alleviated. His Highness King Wen has ordered the city gates to be open for only four hours a day, allowing only people in and not out," the soldier replied.
"So that's how it is. Thanks for the reminder." Ye Ling led the horse slowly into the city.
The city gate behind her slowly closed. The streets of Quezhou looked quite wide, but there were few people and even fewer vendors. Ye Ling muttered in her heart: It's really deserted. Is there really a plague?
"Master, don't be afraid. Mengmeng has medicine for any plague. Don't worry, just go boldly," Mengmeng said proudly.
Ye Ling smiled and said: Okay, as long as our Mengmeng is here, I am not afraid of anything.
"That's natural," Mengmeng was very happy.
Ye Ling’s first thing was to go to the Langya Pavilion branch to see when Gu Feixiang would be ready to accept the challenge. This was the top priority.
The branch of Langya Pavilion in Quezhou is very similar to the one in Yuncheng. Ye Ling tied up his horse, walked up the steps to the door and knocked.
After a moment, someone opened the door: "Who are you?"
Night Cool
"Ye... aren't you a woman?"
"I'm just a woman, is that a problem?"
"No, no, I dare not. Please come in quickly, Night Guard." The person who opened the door was very polite.
"I... I just want to ask if Gu Feixiang said when he would accept the challenge?" Ye Ling didn't want to go in. He was afraid of meeting someone like the hall master of Yuncheng again, and he really couldn't bear to treat him coldly.
"The Illuminati's reply is that at any time, as long as you come and send them a message, Hero Gu will come to fight. You can go in and talk later!"
Ye Ling bowed and said, "Thank you for letting me know. Please tell the Illuminati that I'm here. When Gu Feixiang is free, please come to Langya Pavilion to fight. I live in Tianlai Guest House."
"No, Si Shi, we have somewhere to stay, why should we stay in an inn? Besides, there's been a plague recently, and the inns in the city don't dare to accept guests. You can't stay there."
"Thank you for your help. Goodbye," Ye Ling said and turned to leave.
The person who opened the door was confused and quickly ran in to report.
Ye Ling found Tianlaike after a little inquiry, but because of the plague, Tianlaike's door was closed, so she could only knock on the door again.
A middle-aged man opened the door: "Hello, sir!"
"Boss, I want to stay in the hotel"
"This...the plague is serious, and our shop doesn't accept outsiders!" said the boss with a smile.
Ye Ling paused briefly and took out a white jade token that Xue Jingchuan had secretly slipped to her before leaving. "Can I live in this?"
The boss's face changed drastically when he saw the jade card, and he quickly let Ye Ling in: "It is my fault for being blind and offending my distinguished guest."
"You're welcome, boss. I just had nowhere else to go, so I took it out."
"Okay, okay, come, please go upstairs." The boss led the way and gave Ye Ling the best room upstairs.
Ye Ling was very satisfied: "Thank you. By the way, if someone from Langya Pavilion comes to see me, you have to let him in. Sorry for the trouble. Also, you can't tell anyone that I live here."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You can rest. Dinner will be delivered to your room."
"Thank you." Ye Ling took out a silver note and said, "Please keep it for now. I'll refund you when you leave."
"No, no, no, I dare not accept your..."
"If you don't accept it, I'll leave."
The boss had no choice but to accept the money and hurried downstairs to order dinner.
