chapter XXIX
"Thank you for saving me, sir. Wang Lianchi is extremely grateful.”
Wang Lianchi, who was lying on the ground, saw that Liu Tang had run away. He quickly went forward to thank him and even changed the way he addressed him.
The First Phoenix carefully sized up the guy in front of her.
If he was given a broken bowl and a walking stick, he would look like a beggar!
"Uh…why was that guy chasing you?”
The First Phoenix was silent for a moment, not knowing how to speak. She simply raised her question.
"Young Master, my surname is Wang and my name is Lian Chi. My family was originally from the Qing County of Yunzhou. I ran a few peddlers and was suddenly attacked when I passed by this place. Only a few dozen of my peddlers fled here. If I didn't meet Young Master, I'm afraid I would have…"
Wang Lianchi sighed, seemingly filled with endless bitterness and grief.
However, the First Phoenix did not believe his nonsense at all.
The leader of this group of people was dressed in brocade. How did his delicate skin look like a peddler who had been through the wind and sun?
Even the guards around them were all well-built, and many of them had entered the ranks. Their skills were much stronger than ordinary people.
Earlier, the First Phoenix had secretly released her Genuine Qi to test the waters. She found that these guys who pretended to be in a sorry state were all experts, and the highest among them was at the Seventh Stage Realm.
There were more than ten of them who had entered the rank, so how could they be like the caravan that had lost several names in a panic?
Who are you lying to!
First Phoenix didn't care at first, but after hearing Wang Lianchi's complaints and wails, she paid attention.
He gave Wang Deye a look, and Wang Deye nodded knowingly. He secretly made a gesture with his hands behind his back and remained on guard.
"Oh? Then what are your plans?"
The First Phoenix had wanted to just leave and say,'I'll go first, you can do whatever you want.'However, on second thought, he decided to take a look first. Perhaps something wonderful would happen.
"Young Master, this lowly one is penniless right now, and I have no way to repay Young Master's great kindness of saving my life. Please leave behind your name, Young Master.”
Aiyo, it seemed like she was trying to get rid of him so that she could run away!
The First Phoenix was not interested in his generous thanks. She wondered what urgent matter this guy had to attend to.
Seeing his attire and the flickering concealment in his words, the First Phoenix became interested and insisted on finding out.
"That…what do you have to thank me for?
The First Phoenix followed Wang Lianchi's words and asked with a serious expression. She was not embarrassed at all.
"Tell me first. I'll judge how much your life is worth first.”
Wang Lianchi raised his head in a daze with a stunned expression.
He didn't expect this strong youth to be so thick-skinned. He had only said it casually.
He had originally planned to brag about it after he told him his name.
After he left this troublesome place and completed the mission, who would still know who he was! He even came to thank him heavily?
"Young Master, in the future, this lowly one will definitely offer ten thousand gold to repay Young Master's kindness!”
Wang Lianchi thought for a moment and decided to follow the established routine first. He said in a deep voice,"Please tell me your name, so that I can know your name and pray for your good fortune every day…"
"There's no rush. You just have to tell me where your house is, and I'll come find you when I'm bored.”
The First Phoenix insisted on not telling him her name and instead asked Wang Lianchi to answer first. She said impatiently,""Wang Lianchi, tell me quickly. I see that you also have something urgent to do.”
"Benefactor, I live in the Wang Family Building on Banyun Street in the Qing County of Yunzhou. You can find me there.”Wang Lianchi's eyes lit up as he made up a name.
"Mm, I'll remember that. I'll definitely go and explore it some other day…I'll see if it's on the way to where you're going now so that I can take care of you.”
"Not on the way, not on the way!"
Wang Lianchi hurriedly said.
What a joke, how could I do anything if I were to travel with you?
She quickly thanked the First Phoenix.
"Young Master, you can tell that you're someone who's doing great things. I definitely don't dare to disturb you.”
"Hmm? Where are you going? I haven't even said where I'm going, so how do you know it's not on the way? I think you have a ghost in your heart that doesn't want to come into contact with others, right?”The First Phoenix sounded a little unhappy.
When he said the last sentence, his voice had become cold and harsh. A trace of killing intent was released, and he pressed on Wang Lianchi.
"Where? Where! Young Master, you must not think so. I really want to travel with you.”
Wang Lianchi's heart trembled.
He was very afraid of this unpredictable youth and hurriedly explained,"I saw that Young Master was heading north, and this lowly one was heading south along the way, so I thought that there would be no good fortune accompanying Young Master. Now that something happened so close to me, apart from feeling sad…I can't quite wrap my head around it.”
Wang Lianchi changed his words at the right time." Anyway, you don't have to take responsibility for lying. From the looks of it, you're in a hurry to get things done. Moreover, even if you really follow me, do you still have a chance to live when you see that big shot?"
"Is that so? That would be an honor!"
The First Phoenix sneered." I don't care if what you said is true or not. I'll just take it that it's from the bottom of my heart. I don't have the time to find out whether it's true or not. Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll remind you in advance that the next time I see you, you must ask for advice. Remember, ten thousand gold!”
The First Phoenix was a little annoyed by this guy's stubbornness. He was extremely vigilant and did not plan to waste any more time.
"Hey, don't worry, Young Master. I live in the Wang Family Building, so it won't be bad.”
Wang Lianchi wiped his cold sweat and promised repeatedly. He looked carefully at First Phoenix and hesitated, Young Master, look at this…"
The First Phoenix waved her hand impatiently. Wang Lianchi ran away in a panic as if he had been pardoned. A group of subordinates followed closely behind him in an orderly manner!
Wang Deye stared at Wang Lianchi's back as he walked away. He frowned slightly, but he quickly let go.
These guys had nothing to do with his mission. If there were no accidents, there would be no chance to meet them again.
Looking at the scattered weapons and clothes around him, as well as the silver notes that Wang Lianchi had handed over after gathering them, Wang Deye ordered his men to pack up the money and turned to ask the First Phoenix what to do with it.
"Take all the money, food, and horses with you. Pick some weapons that you can use. Leave the rest here.”The First Phoenix pursed her lips and looked at the messy and dirty clothes. She waved her hand and said indifferently,""As for these clothes…burn them!”
First Phoenix thought for a long time and decided not to give Liu Tang a chance to regret. It was better to burn him down.
What if that fellow shamelessly returned here after he left and shamelessly continued to wear it?
This was not good. Wouldn't it be letting down his own thoughts?
As it turned out, the First Phoenix was right.
Not long after they left, Liu Tang came out of the woods not far away and ran over with anticipation.
In the end, he only saw the smoking residue left on the spot. He was so angry that he jumped up and scolded the First Phoenix for being shameless.
He had thought that the First Phoenix would not want these smelly and tattered clothes.
In the end, just as he had thought, he did not take it with him because he despised the junk.
But don't burn it with fire! This time, he was really going to run back naked.
After he calmed down, Liu Tang still did not have the thick skin to go back openly from the official road. He made up his mind and went back into the forest.
He gritted his teeth and endured the mosquito bites. He waited until it was dark and the night was quiet before he stepped out of the forest.
It was not easy for her to stumble into the house before dawn. She immediately rushed into the bathroom and took three showers before she stopped.
Especially when he saw the swollen bumps all over his body, he was furious.
The immediate result was that everything in the room shattered.
The maidservants who were waiting outside the house would occasionally hear shrill roars coming from within. The voice was so straightforward that it revealed unwillingness and resentment, scaring the maidservants so much that they did not dare to show their heads. Their bodies trembled as they secretly prayed that they would not be unlucky.
However, there were still two maidservants who were tortured to death by Liu Tang that day, and their bodies were directly thrown on the street.
The First Phoenix didn't know about this. After a short rest, she set off to return home.
The days after that would be much simpler.
First Phoenix could tell that Liu Tang was not a good person, so she sped up and did not want to cause any trouble.
After several days of running for hundreds of miles, they did not meet any assassins who blocked their way. They directly crossed the river and took a boat north to enter Qingzhou.
