In the countryside, the cool breeze that blew past their faces told their ears of the chill. At the same time, it often seeped into their noses, carrying the residual fragrance of wheat in the rice fields after the harvest. It was mixed with the grass fragrance emitted by the weeds after the autumn rain. Not only did it make people feel refreshed, but it also evoked a faint sweetness on the tip of their tongues.
Yuanxi Town.
Xianghe Town was located in the "middle area" of the Imperial City (a peaceful area between the city walls, usually used for farming, grazing, mining, and other operations. Of course, the type of operation depended on the geographical characteristics). There were no city walls around it, nor were there any watchtowers. There were not even many guards. Even so, as the closest rural town to the Imperial City, the scene of prosperity was naturally not left behind.
After the young man and Vino rode their horses out of the Imperial City, they rode all the way through Source Creek Town. For some reason, the vegetable garden and wheat fields that entered their sight made her slow down as she led the way. Her eyes darted around as she looked at the prosperous town not far away. Worry surfaced on her face as she 'whispered' the story hidden in her heart.
The woman's changing expression could not escape Ye Jiu's eyes. At this moment, he naturally would not go straight to the point and ask for the reason. Instead, he opened his mouth and suggested.
"How about... Take a break?"
The sudden suggestion made Vino retract her gaze immediately. It had only taken them an hour to ride from the Imperial City to Source Creek Town. There was no reason for them to rest at all. Therefore, the young man's words made her feel that he was testing her, and she immediately responded with the coldest attitude.
"No need."
The woman didn't care what the other party's intentions were. He was trying his best to control his emotions. Clearly, he did not want his expression to reveal more of his family affairs to outsiders. His sharp tone was clearly a warning to the other party…
The relationship between the two of them was not to the point where they could casually talk!
Urging the horse to whip the whip, Vino took the lead to speed up.
Since the woman was unwilling to confide in him, Ye Jiu had no reason to ask further. He glanced at the rich town on the other side of the field and gradually moved away from the woman. He retracted his gaze. However, just as he was about to whip his whip to catch up…
"Miss? It's Miss!"
Every time her little feet dug into the depths of the mud, the eight-year-old child who was running with all her might in the field slowed down the sound of the horse's hooves under Vino's body with her voice that was not tainted by dust. As if she recognized the childish voice, she turned her wrist and pulled the rope that bound the horse. With the ear-piercing neigh of the horse, she quickly looked for the source of the sound…
He wore a straw hat and was four feet tall.
"Little Zheng?"
Seeing that the young lady had responded, Little Zheng's eyes immediately became misty. The mist was hazy, but it could not hide the fear in his eyes. He quickly ran to Wei Nuo's side. His muddy pants also confirmed the panic in his footsteps along the way.
"Miss, something happened at home!"
The short figure was right next to the tall horse, one big and one small, forming a sharp contrast. At the same time, it seemed a little happy. However, what the child said next caused the atmosphere to change drastically. The panic in his eyes immediately turned into anxious words.
"The eldest young master of the Yuan family has brought people to make a scene at Old Master's place!”
"What?!"
The panic-stricken reaction caused a crease to appear between Vino's brows. Without hesitation, he pulled the reins of the horse in the direction of the town. A deafening neigh of the horse could be heard as it soared into the sky! As he left the mission route, he rode his horse on a small path in the fields.
"Ahem. Cough."
The sudden change of direction of the horse's hooves stirred up the dust on the ground. Xiao Zheng, who could not dodge in time, accidentally inhaled the dust into his stomach. With a sobbing tone, he coughed lightly and sat down on the ground in exhaustion. Before the dust stuck in his throat settled down, the pitch-black horse hooves once again entered his field of vision...
"Little friend ~"
...
The child addressed Wei Nuo as " Miss ". It was not difficult to guess that Xiao Zheng was probably the doorman of Officer Zheng's house. Due to the innocence of an eight-year-old, Ye Jiu managed to convince him that he was a friend of the Miss with just a few words. Thus, he understood part of the situation...
Zheng Weinuo was a member of the Zheng family of Yuanxi. The family had been soldiers for generations and had always served the Haining Kingdom. Although they had migrated, the long family history had continued. They had enjoyed a good reputation in the country. However, a few years ago, after the previous family leader Zheng Lin (Wei Nuo's grandfather) passed away due to illness, their only son Zheng Xin had formed a spirit knot too early and spent all his time cultivating. He had stopped at Spirit Control.
From then on, there were no more psychic experts in the clan, and the clan's power plummeted…
Zheng Xin had two daughters, the eldest daughter Wei Shui and the second daughter Wei Nuo. Both of them could be said to be the most beautiful women in the world. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on people. Wei Shui was born with paralysis in her lower body, which affected her cultivation of spiritual power. The elder sister was only two years old, but she had already formed a spiritual knot! I'm afraid I'll be stuck in the underworld forever.
Thus, the clan placed all their hopes on his sister.
Fortunately, Wei Nuo had been very intelligent since she was young, and the color of her spirit rune was a rare golden color. After studying in the inner court for two years, she decided to drop out of school and return to the country to practice. Her extraordinary talent caught Commander Liu's eye, and two years ago, when she had just turned 18, she became a member of the Willow Youth Regiment!
According to this situation, as long as no special circumstances occurred, he would advance to the spirit medium stage! There wouldn't be too much of a problem. Then, the revival of the family would be just around the corner! It was a pity that the woman's charming appearance had become the best excuse for others to eliminate the threat…
"Regarding the marriage matter, I hope Clan Leader Zheng can prepare well. Yuan Bin will take his leave first.”
He held an iron-bone folding fan in his hand and wore a purple-red thick satin. Under the eye-catching gorgeous headdress, the man's long hair fluttered in the wind, like willow leaves swaying in the wind. The black silk strands crossed his back, complementing his well-proportioned and tall figure. He could really be said to be a talented person. Unfortunately, this handsomeness was ultimately destroyed by his cunning expression.
Although Yuan Bin had already stepped out of the willow door, the hall with the plaque of " Zheng Residence " hanging high behind him was still filled with a depressing atmosphere. Zheng Xin, who was sitting at the head of the table, had an angry expression on his face. His face that was " spasming " could not help but twitch. It was obvious that he was controlling his emotions. The teacup with the porcelain lid in his slightly trembling hands rang.
Just as everyone thought that the farce was about to end…
It was mellow and long, like water and song.
Her black hair was like a " black waterfall ", and she was lying lazily on the woman's shoulder. Her light green dress emitted a faint fragrance, and the clear green outlined her graceful figure, like crystal scales attached to her body. She looked like a mermaid resting on the shore, beautiful and moving.
It was a pity that she was paralyzed in a wheelchair.
The firm and melodious voice was like the sound of nature, and it actually eased the terrible atmosphere in the hall. Everyone looked over and saw the servant girl pushing Weishui into the hall. Although her paralyzed lower body had caused her to lose some ability to take care of herself, her clear eyes still revealed the determination to not yield to fate. This made the family members present feel guilty.
Although some people had strong limbs and extraordinary strength, often showing off in front of others, when people wanted to associate their arrogance with strength, they chose to swallow their anger.
Some people might be disabled, have average strength, and usually treat others kindly and humbly, but when everyone wanted to associate her modesty with weakness, she resolutely stepped forward at this time.
I should be the one saying this.
"Shui 'er."
As a father, Zheng Xin could not help but be speechless. His daughter's appearance had indeed expressed the Zheng family's attitude and stance, but what was the use? As the clan leader, he had personally witnessed the decline of the Zheng Clan. He was even more aware that the current Zheng Clan no longer had the right to bargain!
(Premature Spirit Knot: As the name suggests, it means that the Sprite Trainer ends his cultivation period prematurely before the age of 30 due to special reasons. This is undoubtedly destructive. To give a simple example…
Before forming the spirit knot, cultivating the spirit was like climbing a building with stairs. The increase in spirit energy was faster. After forming the spirit knot, cultivating the spirit was like building a building on the roof. One brick at a time, the increase in spirit energy was difficult.
