It had been three days since Pei Ziyan and Chao Huan set off, and Qixiu didn't notice anything was wrong at first. It wasn't until he finally finished what he was doing that he suddenly remembered it.
He counted the days and found that Pei Ziyan had been gone for three days. Logically speaking, if it was just an ordinary disappearance case, she shouldn't have been gone for so long.
Qixiu thought for a moment and called his steward. The old steward bowed respectfully.
"Lord Pavilion Master, do you have any instructions?"
"Has Pei Ziyan sent any news back?" Qixiu asked.
The housekeeper replied: "Your Majesty, Miss Pei has not sent any news back."
Qixiu frowned and glanced around the desk. Because he had been busy with work recently, the place was almost filled with all kinds of books and letters from people below. He looked around and found that there was indeed no letter from Pei Ziyan.
Something doesn't seem right about this.
Qixiu knew Pei Ziyan very well. Pei Ziyan was cautious and rigorous in character. She would keep in regular contact with her every time she went out on a mission, not to mention that the destination this time was not far away.
If it is a small matter, it will not take three days. If something changes, it will be impossible not to send back the news.
Could it be an accident?
Qixiu was thinking about it, and suddenly realized something was wrong. He stood up suddenly and looked at the old housekeeper standing in front of him.
The old housekeeper has been with him since a long time ago, and is the person he trusts the most besides Pei Ziyan, so Qixiu will let him help with some matters around him, even if it is something that cannot be seen in person, he will leave it to him
deal with.
He had never doubted that the old butler had any objections, because the old butler had defiantly chosen to help him do things against all odds, and Qixiu did not regard him as an ordinary subordinate.
But at this moment, an incredible idea flashed through his mind. He looked at the old housekeeper warily, but his face was still calm and respectful, as if everything was just Qixiu's guess.
Qixiu suppressed the doubts in his heart and pretended to be calm: "Is there any other news?"
"Lord Pavilion Master, there is no news."
The old butler's tone was natural, and he did not waver when faced with questions that were almost accusatory. He kept his eyebrows low and his eyes as smooth as ever, making it impossible to find any flaws.
Even so, Qixiu also wondered if he might have thought wrong, but Pei Ziyan didn't send any news, so why did he start to become suspicious?
Pei Ziyan's influence on him was deeper than he imagined.
"Really?" Qixiu reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose. Perhaps he was working too hard and his nerves were too tight, which led to these doubts.
With this thought in mind, he sat down on the seat again, looked at the old butler and asked him to go out, while he continued to handle his work.
The old butler bowed and left, but when he walked to the door, he mentioned something to the little maid waiting outside.
"The incense in the Pavilion Master's room is about to be dyed. Remember to replenish it."
The little maid answered "yes", and after the old housekeeper left, she took new incense and went into the room to change it.
Chao Huan opened her eyes and saw only a blue sky. A few branches blocked part of her view. A green leaf floated down and was carried by the breeze and fell on her face, which made her feel a little itchy.
Chao Huan came out of her daze, and she suddenly remembered everything that had happened before. She was imprisoned by Luo Heqing, and her hand was grabbed by Pei Ziyan, and then she was lost in a burst of white light.
In the white light, she felt a kind of oppression, as if she was squeezed into a narrow tunnel. The huge pressure oppressed every nerve in her. Chao Huan's last memory was not clear, because of the secret method.
With only a mortal body, she fainted quickly.
She sat up, and with the movement, the nerves in her brain ached again. She held her head and opened her eyelids to look at the surrounding environment.
I don’t know how long it has been since she fainted. It was already broad daylight, surrounded by dense woods, and I don’t know how far away she was from the previous place.
Chao Huan found that he was leaning against a tree. It seemed that someone had placed him here. There were several spiritual stones scattered around. Mortals might have thought they were just glowing stones, but Chao Huan could see at a glance that they were not chaotic, but composed of
A simple magic circle was created to protect the people in the circle.
Is it Pei Ziyan? Or a young fish?
The fragile nerves would feel a dull pain when they saw this light. After Chao Huan was sure that he was protected by the formation, he simply closed his eyes and started thinking.
That day, after everyone thought everyone was happy, she took Lin Youyu and Luo Heqing to play together, pretending to be attracted by the animals, but in fact, both Chao Huan and Lin Youyu paid careful attention to the other animals.
One side situation.
Chao Huan didn't hear clearly the conversation between Pei Ziyan and Liu Qin, but she could actually guess a thing or two. For Pei Ziyan, what was a mystery was as simple as flipping through a book and memorizing a text.
Pei Ziyan didn't know Liu Qin's identity or what he wanted to do, but Chao Huan knew it very well.
But Chao Huan will not tell Pei Ziyan everything, because there are many things that Zhou Kong wants to test, and so does Chao Huan.
After waiting for about half an hour, Chao Huan felt someone approaching. She slowly opened her eyes, and in front of her was Pei Ziyan who had returned to her original appearance.
She noticed that Chao Huan was awake, raised her eyebrows, put away the simple formation, and placed a few cleaned fruits next to Chao Huan.
"Are you awake? How do you feel?" She knelt down beside Chao Huan, stretched out her hand to touch Chao Huan's forehead, felt it carefully, and then retracted her hand after confirming that there was no fever.
"My head hurts." Chao Huan said, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Three hours, for a mortal like you, teleportation is indeed very draining of physical strength."
Pei Ziyan took a jade bottle from the storage bag. The jade pendant exuded a faint cold air, and she didn't know what material it was made of. She poured out an elixir from the bottle. As soon as the elixir was poured out, Chao Huan
I smelled the fragrance of an herbal medicine.
Chao Huan blinked and could already distinguish several medicinal herbs from the smell. They were all calming and suitable for her to take now.
Pei Ziyan handed her the elixir and said, "Eat it, it will make you feel better."
After taking the elixir, Chao Huan felt that her headache was relieved immediately. Feeling the taste between her lips and teeth, she had already thought of several medicine lists in her mind.
Well, if Ning Xinhua is replaced with Ice Skin, and a little Snow Blowing Spring is added to neutralize it, it will be more suitable for her. For mortals, this elixir is a bit irritating.
She silently suppressed the sudden chill in her heart and asked without changing her expression: "Where are you now?"
Pei Ziyan saw that her complexion had improved a lot, so she put away the jade pendant, took the fruit and handed it to her, while she took a small green fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.
"I don't know, but I guess it's not too far from Fuliu City, no more than two hundred miles at most."
This is what she speculated. After all, the effect of the magic weapon is only that far away. Even if it is teleported to the opposite direction of Fuliu City, it will not be too far.
However, in order to use that magic weapon, all her spiritual power had been drained out of her. It would take a while to recover, and Chao Huan also fainted. After Pei Ziyan woke up, she simply arranged a formation for Chao Huan.
So I went to explore the surrounding area.
She was lucky enough to find some wild fruits in the woods and saw smoke coming from a cooking stove not far away.
"Let's go take a look first. It would be nice if we could find a carriage or something like that," Pei Ziyan said.
Chao Huan tilted his head and asked doubtfully: "Don't you have a carriage?"
She was talking about the carriage that Pei Ziyan drove when she went to Qingji Village. It was pulled by a spirit beast and could travel thousands of miles in a day.
Pei Ziyan sighed and said: "The spirit beast sign was lost while moving. I can feel that it seems to have been destroyed, and I don't know where the spirit beast went. Although I still have a carriage, I don't have one to pull it.
.”
Chao Huan nodded, knowing that he understood.
She thought of someone again.
"A young fish?" Chao Huan asked, "She should have been with us at that time."
"I don't know. I only saw you when I woke up. Maybe you got separated from us." Pei Ziyan guessed that Lin Youyu is a cultivator after all, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Chao Huan said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Young Fish must have returned to Qingji Village. When she went to the mountain, in order not to reveal her identity, she left the coffin in the village. She must have gone back to get it.
The two rested for a while and waited until Chao Huan's body was almost recovered before heading towards the direction where Pei Ziyan found the smoke.
When they were about to enter the village, Pei Ziyan suddenly stopped Chao Huan. They walked to a secret place and Pei Ziyan used magic to change her appearance.
Instead of disguising her face before, she changed herself into a male, and what appeared in front of Chao Huan was a handsome young man with fine features, dressed in green clothes as green as bamboo, but the eyes that looked at Chao Huan were still the same.
Chao Huan was stunned, Pei Ziyan also held a folding fan, looking more like a young master from aristocratic family.
"What are you?" Chao Huan asked.
"Let's pretend. If we two women go there, we will inevitably encounter difficulties." Pei Ziyan said with a smile. After saying this, she changed her voice.
With a deep male voice and a tall and straight body, Pei Ziyan looks like a man in every aspect.
"By the way, if that's the case, don't call me Miss Pei. Well, let me think about it..." Pei Ziyan thought for a moment, then clapped her paper fan and said, "Just call me Zhu Shi. If someone else
When asked, they said we are brother and sister."
Best wishes?
Wish you comfort and happiness?
Chao Huan smiled silently, but was not angry because the other party took advantage of him.
"Okay, then get ready to go there now."
Pei Ziyan, oh no, Zhu Shi said, and the two of them walked away together.
This village is much larger than Qingji Village. Just by looking at the buildings, there are hundreds of houses.
As soon as the two people entered the village, they received a lot of attention. Unlike the guessing looks in Qingji Village, the people here looked at them honestly and simply looked at the two people.
Zhu Shi looked at the wooden sign at the entrance of the village, which read "Haixing Village".
Haixing Village? When Zhu Shi saw these three words, the topographic map of Fuliu City with a radius of hundreds of miles still appeared in his mind, and his guess was confirmed.
It was indeed not far from Fuliu City, but it was farther than he thought, about 270 kilometers, but it was not too far for a cultivator.
