The sky gradually darkened, and a few hours passed.
Wind Creek Town!
This town was one of the important places in Jiangnan. It was close to the mountains and the river, and the scenery was beautiful. At this time, it was late at night, and every household had lights on. There was an endless stream of passing merchants coming and going.
Although it was winter, it was still very lively.
Outside the town gate, an inconspicuous carriage followed the crowd and slowly entered the town gate.
"Young Marshal, we've arrived at Wind Creek Town." Qin San said to the carriage.
"Yes!" Yan Chen nodded slightly." Find an inn to rest for a while. We'll leave tomorrow!"”
"Yes, sir!" Qin San nodded in agreement. Coincidentally, there was a stall set up by a local by the roadside. He went up to ask and found out where the inn in the town was.
The carriage passed another two streets, turned right, and headed towards the biggest inn in town.
Inside the carriage!
Zhou Zhiruo had taken the pill and Yan Chen had used his pure inner energy to activate the medicinal properties. Her internal injuries had already recovered a little. At this moment, her eyelashes finally fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
"You're awake!" Yan Chen held a wine pot in his hand and leaned against the window of the carriage to drink slowly. He turned back to look at her.
The young girl in front of him had a slightly pale face. She didn't wear any makeup, but she was breathtakingly beautiful!
"Yes... Yes!"
Although Zhou Zhiruo had been unconscious for a long time, she was still a smart person. She was shocked at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she could roughly guess what had happened.
She had seen Yan Chen's attack clearly. Although she had fainted after that and did not know why she was here, she guessed that the rebel army had been dealt with by Yan Chen and she was saved by him.
After hesitating for a long time, she pinched the corner of her clothes and said softly," Thank you, Master Yan!”
She blushed and did not dare to look Yan Chen in the eye.
Yan Chen nodded and turned his gaze back to the window. He looked at the bustling night scene of the small town, and no one knew what he was thinking.
As Zhou Zhiruo's voice was very low and the people on the street were quite noisy, Qin San and the others didn't hear the conversation in the carriage even though they were close.
Silence returned to the carriage.
Only the peddlers on the street were left, and the wheels of the carriage squeaked as they rolled over the snow.
Zhou Zhiruo quietly raised her eyes and stole a glance at Yan Chen before quickly lowering her head.
Images of Yan Chen flashed through her mind.
That day on White Mountain, this youth had single-handedly killed those disciples of the large sects who were usually arrogant. Only a few people survived!
But why did he let her off again and again?
Today, he had even saved his life and the lives of hundreds of villagers?
Was such a person a bad person or a good person?
"Why did you do it…The White Mountain Army's Major?" she suddenly asked.
Yan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at her." Why do you ask?”
"You don't look like a bad person. Why do people say that you're..."
"Doesn't look like a bad person?" Yan Chen was stunned for a moment before he laughed." I've killed so many people from the six major sects. If this doesn't look like a bad person, then what does?”
"That's different!" Zhou Zhiruo's small face revealed a serious expression." The matter between you and the six major sects can be considered…" It's a feud in the martial world, but you saved me today. If you were a bad person, you would never save me!”
"What if I'm only after your beauty?" Yan Chen chuckled softly and said leisurely.”
"You won't…" Zhou Zhiruo was suddenly shocked, and her body unconsciously shrank back.
Yan Chen shook his head and continued to look out of the carriage window. He picked up the wine pot in his hand and took a sip without saying anything else.
This Zhou Zhiruo was really silly and adorable.
If it wasn't for the fact that Mistress Annihilation was extremely pedantic and forced Zhang Wuji to be indecisive, how could such an innocent girl go astray?
Seeing that Yan Chen was silent, Zhou Zhiruo lowered her head and did not say anything.
Was Yan Chen really after her beauty?
She did not believe it. If the other party really had some improper thoughts, then she had been unconscious for so long just now. Wasn't that a godsend?
Not only was he not violated at all, but his serious internal injuries had also been cured!
Zhou Zhiruo's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. She lifted her limpid eyes slightly and stole a glance at Yan Chen. At this moment, Yan Chen was looking out the window. Under the moonlight, his handsome side profile appeared distinct. He was so handsome that it was unreal, causing her to be a little absent-minded.
Who knew what he was thinking?
A moment later, she came back to her senses. Her little face was red like a frightened deer. She quickly retracted her gaze, but soon, she could not help but steal a glance at Yan Chen.
After half an incense stick of time!
"Young Marshal, we've arrived at the inn!"
At this moment, Li Tieniu opened the back door of the carriage and saw Zhou Zhiruo who had woken up.
He chuckled and scratched his head." Miss Zhou, you're awake?”
"Yes…" Zhou Zhiruo's gaze was filled with curiosity as she sized up this burly man.
Was this Yan Chen's subordinate?
Just as she was thinking about the girl's thoughts, Yan Chen suddenly spoke.
"Miss Zhou!"
Yan Chen's expression became more serious." We can't work together on different paths. Your internal injuries have been healed, and this place is safe. We'll part ways here!”
"Ah?" Zhou Zhiruo was stunned.
"You are a disciple of one of the six great sects, and I, Yan Chen, am a notorious bandit in the martial world. I don't mind if you hang out with us, but I'm afraid it will damage your reputation, Miss Zhou!”
Yan Chen said calmly," I saved your life today. It was nothing. You don't have to take it to heart!"”
Zhou Zhiruo's expression turned anxious." But…"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Qin San took half a step forward, cleared his throat, and said,""Miss Zhou, there is a difference between good and evil. Since it is already late and no one has discovered it, it is better for you to leave early.”
After saying that, Yan Chen bid farewell and walked into the inn with his five personal guards.
Zhou Zhiruo stood alone at the entrance of the inn. She was in a daze, and her mind was in a mess.
After she heard Yan Chen's words, although she felt that he was right, she still felt very uncomfortable.
There was a difference between good and evil. One must not reason with evil and evil people who knew how to bewitch people. Otherwise, they would be expelled from the sect and killed without mercy!
This was the sect rule set by the current Sect Leader of the Emei Sect, Mistress Miejue. Zhou Zhiruo had always regarded her master as a god, so she naturally felt that whatever her master said was right.
But was someone like Yan Chen really a bad person?
Today, not only did Yan Chen save her life, but he also saved hundreds of refugees! She didn't even ask for anything in return. In the end, she was even considering her reputation.
"I will not leave…"
She stomped her feet and bit her lower lip. She followed Yan Chen and the others into the inn!
