140 Qin Huai’s Fate!
Qin Huai seemed to have heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. Perhaps someone had successfully informed them about him on the way.
Qin Huai gritted his teeth, but there was no one behind him.
Stab!
He tore off all of Hu Jinghai’s clothes and cleaned up the bloodstains on his body. Then, he ran for another ten miles.
Qin Huai’s consciousness started to blur. In his daze, he found a deep hole in the tree and stuffed Hu Jinghai inside.
“I’ve already tried my best. It’s all up to your luck to survive.”
Qin Huai was indeed exhausted. He wasn’t able to turn a blind eye to Hu Jinghai as he had been at his peak.
Immediately after, Qin Huai changed his direction and sprinted toward Lingjiang county.
After an unknown amount of time, it could be fifty miles, or it could be five hundred miles…
The originally blurry world before Qin Huai’s eyes completely melted away, and he sank into darkness.
Bang! Bang!
Qin Huai’s head fell to the ground, and he completely lost consciousness.
…
On the other side, Sun Yuanshan and the others, who were on their way, suddenly stopped.
That was because two figures were in front of them, blocking their way. The person in the lead had a red dress with a red veil, and her stunning white and slender legs were exposed in the snow. Even some of the disciples who were fleeing could not help but feel their hearts sway.
“Miss Shaoxiang? Are you trying to kill us too?” Sun Yuanshan clenched his fist.
This was the first time he had seen the top courtesan of Overflowing Fragrance, whose name had shaken Pingnan. Although this person was young, she was about the same age as Qin Huai.
But her aura seemed to be… far superior to himself! He was at the seventh or even eighth refinement!
As expected of someone from the Li family of the Nine Dragons sect in Lingjiang. She should have been the strongest person in Pingnan.
“Dojo Master Sun, you’ve misunderstood.” Shaoxiang looked into the crowd, but she did not find the person she wanted to see. “Your Changshan Dojo was originally a branch of the Nine Dragons sect in Pingnan City.
“However, because Pingnan was poor and no talented people went to the Nine Dragons sect for a long time, your relationship with the sect gradually broke.
“Your departure this time will make Lingjiang acknowledge your ancestors and clan. I can also save your lives.”
Shaoxiang explained as she threw a bronze waist token to Sun Yuanshan. The words ‘nine dragons’ were carved on it.
“Show this, and you can enter and leave Lingjiang.”
“Many thanks, Miss Shaoxiang! Sun Yuanshan will never forget this great kindness in his life!” Sun Yuanshan was so serious that he even wanted to kowtow to Shaoxiang.
However, Miss Qingshui, who was at the side, quickly came forward to support him. “Grandpa Sun, if you kowtow to Miss at your age, what would the others think?”
“That’s true.” Sun Yuanshan forced a smile. “In order to save us, Huai’er led Hu Jinghai to draw away the pursuers.”
He knew who Miss Shaoxiang was thinking about. He just didn’t know how his disciple had managed to make Miss Shaoxiang so deeply concerned and unable to forget him with just two short meetings.
Miss Shaoxiang was silent for a moment, then said, “How can we find Qin Huai?”
“I don’t know…” Sun Yuanshan replied bitterly. In the vast wilderness, no one knew where Qin Huai had gone.
“Many thanks, Master Sun!” Miss Shaoxiang cupped her fists and then walked past the crowd with Qingshui.
“Master, do you think Junior Brother is still alive?” Qi Yangbing asked.
“He’s definitely alive!” Sun Yuanshan’s voice was firm. “To be able to cultivate one more white dragon than us, he can’t be an ordinary person.”
…
“Miss, are you really going to look for him?” Miss Qingshui sighed. “It’s impossible to find a person in this vast land of a thousand miles. Maybe the Daoist from the Green Cloud Temple was just talking nonsense? Now, Pingnan City is gone…”
Miss Shaoxiang just said, “We’ll search along this road for a day. If we can’t find him in a day, we’ll go back.”
“What if you find him? Didn’t the family head say that Song Ya and Hu Guanpan are irreconcilable enemies? Now that Qin Huai has helped Hu Guanpan’s son escape, Song Ya and the county governor will definitely not let Qin Huai off!” Miss Qingshui said earnestly.
“If the Daoist was talking about Qin Huai, then I will definitely find him on this trip.” Miss Shaoxiang was firm.
“No matter what, it’s still because our Li family was suppressed too badly by the Zhang family in the Nine Dragons sect. That’s why Miss is so obsessed with that Daoist’s mumbling.” Miss Qingshui sighed, but there was nothing she could do.
The sun and the moon rotated. In the blink of an eye, Miss Shaoxiang had searched for a day.
She raised her head and saw that the sun had already risen. “Let’s go. It’s time to go back. It seems… we won’t find Qin Huai.”
Miss Shaoxiang was a little melancholic. Could it be that the Daoist was lying? Now, it was not Qin Huai, and Pingnan City was gone… Did the heavens want her Li family to be destroyed?
Miss Shaoxiang was riding a horse, madly galloping through the forest.
Hualala…
At midnight the next day, it rained heavily. The torrential rain poured down like an ocean, making the two unable to see the road.
Miss Shaoxiang and Qingshui had no choice but to find a tree hole to shelter themselves from the rain.
“Miss, come in quickly!”
Bang! Bang!
Miss Shaoxiang suddenly staggered and then stood in place in a daze.
“Miss, are you alright?” Qingshui saw that her young miss was not moving and quickly ran forward.
After that…
She was also stunned. He saw a figure lying under the torrential rain.
It was none other than Qin Huai, whom Miss Shaoxiang had already given up on searching for.
“It’s heaven’s will.” Shaoxiang’s face bloomed with a brilliant smile. “It’s definitely him! The Daoist didn’t lie to me.”
Miss Shaoxiang hurriedly helped Qin Huai up from the ground. At this moment, Qin Huai’s face was frighteningly pale. He leaned on Shaoxiang’s shoulder in a daze and didn’t wake up.
“He’s still alive…” Qingshui touched Qin Huai’s nose and even leaned on him to listen for his heartbeat. “He’s really still alive!”
“Is this guy a monster? He managed to escape alone from Cheng Li and three hundred armored soldiers. How did he escape? If you want to escape from the cavalry, you’ll have to kill everyone… I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out.” Qingshui shook her head.
She could only start a fire. That was because their young miss had already excitedly started to take care of Qin Huai. It was obvious that she had already determined that Qin Huai was the person who could save the Li family.
“Miss, if we really save him, Song Ya and the county governor will definitely put pressure on the master. If we want to protect Qin Huai, we’ll probably have to make a lot of concessions. In addition, the Li family is weak to begin with, and all power is on the Zhang family’s side. I’m afraid the first one to disagree will be the family head…”
Although Qingshui was unwilling, she still poured a basin of cold water on him.
“The Li family’s death will only be delayed by a few years if we continue to drag this on. Why don’t we give it a try?” Miss Shaoxiang gritted her teeth. “Let’s bring him back first and see how things go…”
