After leaving Wuling City, Chen Shaoheng and Cheng Suxin rode their horses forward.
The two of them did not put on any pretense. They were all calm, and their reasons on the surface were impeccable.
In order to send Jiang Yunlong's ashes back, the disguise had given people a handle, causing unnecessary trouble.
After walking more than 50 kilometers out of Martial Numinous City, the two of them dismounted to rest.
On the side of the road, Cheng Suxin tied the horse to a tree. She took out some dry food from her luggage and handed it to Chen Shaoheng.
She frowned and took out the water bag, but she seemed to have forgotten to drink it.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Shaoheng glanced at her,"Something on your mind?"”
Cheng Suxin nodded.”
"Peace is a good thing."
"This means that they know our purpose very well," said Chen Shaoheng with a smile.”
After hearing this, Cheng Suxin sighed.""The courtyard is big, and the Azure Dragon Triad has many eyes. There's no secret that can't be spread. Only Father, Grandfather, Uncle Chen, you, me, and a few servants knew about the things you did to me that day. In the blink of an eye, the entire Martial Numinous City was filled with rumors.”
"I have to thank them for making my reputation soar.”
Chen Shaoheng was still in the mood to joke.
Cheng Suxin rolled her eyes at him." In the past, you weren't so optimistic. How did you suddenly realize that your personality has changed so much?"”
"When a person grows up, they have to go through a few stages. It may not be good to grow up when they are young, and vice versa.”
Cheng Suxin nodded." But what I want to say is that there are really not many people in Jianghu that can be trusted." There are very few people like you and me, as well as father and uncle Chen, who are life-and-death friends. And the disciples that he interacted with day and night did not know the true thoughts in the depths of his heart. Thinking about it carefully, it was really terrifying.”
Chen Shaoheng nodded.
The Azure Dragon Triad was huge, and its power was not to be underestimated. However, it was difficult to use the strength of many people in one place.
Old Master Cheng also knew this, which was why he had told Cheng Feiying not to expand his gang for so many years.
Any bigger, and it would be easier for things to change.
Chen Shaoheng ate a piece of flatbread and took out Hanshuang from his pocket, fiddling with it in his hand.
"This jade flute seems extraordinary."
Cheng Suxin had seen it before, but she was even more curious now. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face."Could it be that a lady gave it to you?”
Chen Shaoheng was stunned and shook his head.”
He spoke bluntly. He did not know if Chu Qingyun would scold him for being shameless after hearing this.
Cheng Suxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as she was about to say something, she frowned slightly.
The faint tremors on the ground made her feel that something was wrong. She suddenly looked up and saw dozens of fast horses galloping at the end of the road. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of her.
Cheng Suxin subconsciously gripped the hilt of her sword, but she heard Chen Shaoheng say,""Don't be anxious. It might not be for us.”
"Yes."
Cheng Suxin nodded, but she still didn't dare to relax.
These dozens of riders rushed over and whistled away. When they passed by them, they took a second look but did not take it to heart.
Cheng Suxin let out a sigh of relief.”
"Relax. We are here to send back Senior Brother Yun's ashes, not to carry out any secret mission. If you are nervous, you will only give others a handle.”
Chen Shaoheng opened the water bag and took a sip. After ordering, he did not elaborate.
In fact, Cheng Suxin was just as nervous as she should be. After all, the incident that had just happened in the Azure Dragon Gang would only be weirder if there was no reaction at all.
However, he frowned slightly as he looked at where the people from the martial world were going.
Dozens of cavalry galloped on their horses. If it wasn't for the Golden Silk Jade Record, then what was it for?
He noticed that these people all had the same brand on their horses. They should be from the same sect or gang. However, the brand was quite unfamiliar. At least, Chen Shaoheng had never seen it in Azure Dragon Mansion.
It wasn't easy to judge, and he didn't dare to say that he really didn't come for them. Chen Shaoheng pondered for a moment and remembered this matter in his heart. Then, he ate and drank when he should.
He was a typical loose on the outside but tight on the inside. He knew everything that was happening around him, but he didn't show it on the surface.
Although Cheng Suxin had been cultivating with the Kongji Nun since she was young, she only cultivated martial arts. Her Jianghu experience was much shallow compared to Chen Shaoheng.
It was also very difficult for him to not show his emotions.
The two of them ate and drank for a while before continuing their journey.
However, he stopped and walked instead of rushing all the way.
Before nightfall, they arrived at a town.
After finding an inn, Chen Shaoheng and Cheng Suxin dismounted and rested. They asked the waiter to lead the horses to the stable. Just as they were about to leave, they saw another second brother leading a few horses to the stable.
And on the bodies of those horses, there was the brand that he had seen before.
His mind moved slightly, and he pondered for a moment before following Cheng Suxin into the inn.
As soon as he entered, he saw that the inn was full. At first glance, they were all martial artists carrying swords.
Cheng Suxin was stunned. She looked back at Chen Shaoheng. Chen Shaoheng nodded and went to the counter to ask the boss to get a room.
However, the boss said," I'm sorry, sir. You want two superior rooms. The store is really out of rooms. There's only one ordinary room left. Please take a look…"
