Chapter 433 Old friend!
After the two of them sat down, Li Xingyun straightened his robe slightly, then shouted loudly: "Ye County, let's go!" His voice was clear and loud, revealing a sense of confidence and decisiveness.
"As you command, Your Highness!" Ye Xian's respectful voice came from outside the carriage. Then, there was a crisp crack of whips, and the carriage slowly started, the sound of rolling wheels echoing in the silent street.
The carriage moved steadily along the street, passing through the bustling crowds and lively markets. Li Xingyun and Ye Qingcheng sat in the carriage, admiring the scenery along the way through the window, and the sunlight shone on them through the window.
Li Xingyun casually glanced out the window a few times before quickly retracting his gaze. He wondered to himself, "I wonder if Yuan Tiangang has properly arranged the inheritance beads?"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of worry. After all, now that he had left his base camp and was alone with Ye Qingcheng, the level of danger was simply rising sharply!
Li Xingyun remained silent in the narrow carriage, saying nothing. Ye Qingcheng, sitting beside him, also sat quietly, like a statue, making it difficult to discern her true thoughts. As for the driver, Ye Xian, he was even more taciturn and naturally wouldn't initiate any conversation.
Just like that, a suffocating silence filled the entire carriage, with only the creaking sound of the wheels rolling, which seemed particularly clear on this silent road.
As time passed, the carriage gradually drove out of Shenwu City and galloped towards the border.
At the same time, Yuan Tiangang stood on the wall of Shenwu City, watching the carriage carrying Li Xingyun gradually move farther and farther away until it disappeared from his sight. He then slowly withdrew his gaze and slowly moved his right hand, which had been tightly clenched behind his back, in front of him.
Yuan Tiangang then carefully opened his palm, revealing a crystal clear inheritance bead. This inheritance bead was exactly what Li Xingyun had given him before he left.
When Yuan Tiangang's gaze fell on the vague figure within the inheritance bead, his body trembled slightly, as if struck by a powerful force. Beneath the mask on his face, his already sharp eyes widened sharply, revealing an expression of both surprise and delight!
Although the figure's shadow was blurry, Yuan Tiangang could sense the powerful aura it exuded. This aura made him feel extremely familiar, as if it came from someone he had known for a long time.
Yuan Tiangang stared at the shadowy figure, his heart filled with an indescribable emotion. He seemed to recall many past events related to this person, and those memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
After a long while, Yuan Tiangang slowly came back to his senses. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then smiled with relief and spoke calmly.
"Haha... old friend, I will find a suitable successor for you!... With you here, I can do more things!" His voice revealed confidence and determination.
After saying this, Yuan Tiangang's figure gradually became transparent and finally disappeared from the spot, as if he had never appeared.
Meanwhile, Li Xingyun, sitting in the carriage, was yawning in boredom. He stretched and said helplessly, "Huh... so boring! There hasn't been a single robbery along the way!"
The carriage had been traveling for a whole day and had covered countless miles, but the journey was surprisingly smooth and they hadn't even encountered any bandits. This made Li Xingyun feel a little strange.
"Hehehe... Sir, that blind guy actually dared to rob you! Isn't this like an old man eating arsenic and seeking death!" After hearing what Li Xingyun said, Ye Qingcheng was stunned at first, and then he covered his mouth and giggled as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Seeing this, Li Xingyun couldn't help but smile wryly and nodded. Indeed, with his status and position, ordinary bandits wouldn't have the guts to rob him. The carriage he was riding in was made of the finest materials and was lavishly decorated. Ordinary bandits would probably be terrified at the sight of such a carriage, so how could they dare to rob him?
"Ye Xian, let's find a place to rest for the night. It won't be too late to continue our journey tomorrow," Li Xingyun said to the driver, Ye Xian. After all, the journey to the Western Xia Demon Kingdom was still quite a distance, and he wasn't in a rush. Furthermore, traveling overnight wasn't safe.
"Yes! Your Highness!" Ye Xian answered respectfully, then immediately waved the whip and drove the carriage towards the nearest town.
"When you are out, don't call me Your Highness. Just call me Young Master like Sister Xiaoyu." Li Xingyun suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded Ye Xian.
"Yes! Young Master!" Ye Xian responded without hesitation. His tone was still very respectful, without the slightest hesitation or delay.
Ye Xian was like a tool, obeying Li Xingyun's orders. Apart from what Li Xingyun told him to do, he didn't ask about other matters and did everything according to Li Xingyun's requirements.
Half an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped, and the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground was particularly clear in the quiet street.
"Young master, we've arrived at the inn!" Ye Xian's voice came from outside the carriage, with a hint of respect in his tone.
"Yeah!" Li Xingyun responded in a deep, magnetic voice. He slightly opened the curtains, peered out, and after confirming they had reached their destination, he closed them.
Then, Li Xingyun reached out his hand without hesitation and gently held Ye Qingcheng's small hand, which was as white as mutton fat jade. His action seemed so natural, as if it was a very common thing.
"Come on, follow me for a stroll." Li Xingyun's tone was a bit overbearing, as if he didn't give Ye Qingcheng a chance to speak. After that, he tightly grasped Ye Qingcheng's hand and walked out of the carriage together.
"Hey... okay." Ye Qingcheng was caught off guard. She wanted to say something, but the words were on the tip of her tongue. Before she could react, Li Xingyun had already pulled her off the carriage. She followed him, stumbling slightly, towards the inn.
