Ye Mingjin frowned. Luo Qing saw him and quickly apologized,""It's this subordinate's fault. This subordinate did not protect Madam well!”
"I won't pursue the matter if you cure Furen.”Ye Mingjin frowned.
"Yes, I will do my best.”Luo Qing glanced at Ye Mingjin and reminded him,""Master, you should go and change your clothes too. Otherwise, Madam will be worried if she sees you.”
Ye Mingjin didn't move. Instead, he stood in front of the bed and looked at Mu Xiyan with deep worry in his eyes.
"When did you come back? Did you get caught in the rain?" Mu Xiyan was awakened by the voice. She was shocked to see Ye Mingjin standing in front of her, drenched. She asked immediately. Her throat was so dry that even she was shocked. Her body was extremely hot. She must have a fever. She had only been caught in the rain, but she had actually caught a cold. When had she become so weak?
"It's fine. As for Yan 'er, what's the point of going out?”Ye Mingjin scolded.
"I just wanted to buy an umbrella. I didn't expect to be sick. It's okay. I'll be fine in two days.”Mu Xiyan sat up and felt a little dizzy. If she was at home, she would just take two amoxicillins or white and black pills and have a good sleep. Here, if she was sick and did not want to take Chinese medicine, she would basically die! Then, Mu Xiyan changed the topic. She looked at Ye Mingjin and asked,""As for you, where did you go? You didn't even tell me when you left. You're already wet and you're talking about me?”
Ye Mingjin didn't expect Mu Xiyan to refute him like this, so he didn't have the heart to blame her. After instructing Luo Qing to boil the medicine, Ye Mingjin slowly took off his wet clothes and changed into a clean set of clothes in front of Mu Xiyan. Mu Xiyan blushed, but she couldn't help but secretly admire Ye Mingjin's perfect figure.
The rain had no intention of stopping. It had been rainy for the past few days. Moreover, Mu Xiyan was sick, so the four of them had to stay in Huai Rong City for a while.
Five days later, Mu Xiyan's body gradually recovered. Ye Mingjin stayed by Mu Xiyan's side all day long, not leaving for even a moment, fearing that something would happen to Mu Xiyan.
"Master, we have to go to the Sunset Valley quickly. There are only ten days left.”Luo Qing reported.
"Prepare the grain carriage. We'll be on our way today and see if we can arrive in two days.”Ye Mingjin stood in front of the two of them and ordered.
"Yes, Master!" The two of them cupped their fists.
The four of them traveled day and night and finally arrived at a small town less than five miles away from Sunset Valley two days later at night. It was Desireless Town. Perhaps it was because the people in this town had no desires or desires.
"Yan 'er, we've arrived." Ye Mingjin softly called out to Mu Xiyan, who had fallen asleep in the carriage. Mu Xiyan could no longer hold on after days of running around. She endured the bumpy carriage and the discomfort of her body, but she did not complain. This made Ye Mingjin feel very guilty.
"What? Oh…" Mu Xiyan rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up. Ye Mingjin helped her out of the carriage. It was already dark, and the wind was a little chilly.
"Master, there is an inn in front. It looks ordinary and won't attract anyone's attention.”As he spoke, Luo Qing pointed to an inn with red lanterns hanging not far ahead. It looked very ordinary like a small farmhouse. The plaque with the words "Heaven's Destiny Inn" on it gave off a feeling of being on the verge of collapse.
Ye Mingjin hummed softly, and the four of them stepped into the Heaven's Destiny Inn. The inn was quiet. At the counter, an old man with white hair and beard was checking the accounts on an abacus. When he saw the four of them enter, he only raised his eyes and continued to work with his head lowered. After a long while, he stopped what he was doing and asked the four of them,"How many rooms?"
"Master, how did you know that we want to stay?" Mu Xiyan asked curiously.”
"It's late at night, don't tell me you're waiting to be punished by the gods?”The old man said in a bad mood.
"Empyrean God?" Mu Xiyan thought that she had misheard, so she repeated the question.
"If you want to stay, then stay. Don't dawdle!”the old man said impatiently.
"Give us three rooms." Purple Bamboo took the lead and walked forward. He didn't want to share a room with Luo Qing.
"There are only two rooms!" After saying that, the old man ignored everyone's reaction and threw out two wooden signs with the room number written on them. The words on them were almost blurred. It seemed that they had been there for some time. The four of them stepped on the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor. They did not dare to use any strength, afraid that they would break the poor wooden stairs. Three black lines appeared on Mu Xiyan's forehead. She really wondered if this inn was so old that it was about to collapse...
There was no doubt that Mu Xiyan and Ye Mingjin shared a room, while Luo Qing and Zi Zhu shared a room. Ye Mingjin entered the room, and there was a faint moldy smell in the room. Ye Mingjin immediately frowned.
Purple Bamboo was already covering her nose as she stood by the old window and cursed at Luo Qing,""Luo Qing, what kind of lousy inn did you find? You actually want us to stay in such a place! Even if I can take it, Master and Madam can't!”
Luo Qing sat in front of the table without a care and turned a deaf ear to Purple Bamboo's words. He said lightly,""The Emperor's people are staying in the most luxurious restaurant in Desireless Town. The others who are going to Sunset Valley are also staying in different inns. Only this inn is often used by the ordinary people in the town.”
Although Zi Zhu was still angry after hearing this, she could not refute it. Luo Qing's words were reasonable. Master must have agreed to live here because he wanted to protect Madam. Otherwise, with Master's personality, he would not let Madam live in such a place and suffer.
Mu Xiyan didn't say anything. She yawned and looked at the innermost bed. She tidied it up a little and lay on it, leaving only a small space for Ye Mingjin on the narrow bed.
"Ye, rest early." Mu Xiyan made an inviting gesture and interrupted Ye Mingjin, who was deep in thought. Ye Mingjin smiled and sat down by the bed. He brushed the hair on Mu Xiyan's forehead and left a deep kiss on her forehead. Then, he put out the candle and lay down.
The next morning, the four of them rested their spirits and closed the door. In Ye Mingjin and Mu Xiyan's room, they began to study the issue of entering the Sunset Valley.
"Alright, can you tell me why we're going to the Sunset Valley now?”Mu Xiyan asked Luo Qing and Zi Zhu as she took a sip of tea. She even stole a glance at Ye Mingjin.
Luo Qing and Zi Zhu looked at Ye Mingjin at the same time, and their eyes were filled with embarrassment. Mu Xiyan saw it all and felt a chill in her heart. Could it be that she still had to hide everything from her after getting married? Ye Mingjin glared at them and said to Mu Xiyan,""Yan 'er, have you heard of the Ni Xin Bodhi?”
Mu Xiyan shook her head. She had heard of Bodhi, but not Ni Xin Bodhi.
Ye Mingjin explained patiently," The Nixin Bodhi is a precious fruit that only bears fruit once every twenty years in the Sunset Valley. Eating it can increase one's cultivation for a hundred years and make one immune to all poisons. However, I have never seen it with my own eyes. Perhaps the legends of the world have exaggerated its effects.”Ye Mingjin said lightly and paid attention to Mu Xiyan's expression.
