Chapter 315: Not Luck
ey had spent a fortune buying as much grain as possible in the first place.After Fengqi Country's reorganization, the inflationary atmosphere was effectively suppressed, and another crisis was averted...Wuyou's ears still echoed with the rustling sound of snakes crawling. He glanced back at the bamboo forest by the waterfall, where a few more corpses lay scattered. Finally, he got into the carriage.
When dawn broke, Wuxiu and Fengyu also returned to Huafeng City. After the city gate opened, their carriages joined the queue waiting for inspection.
Feng Yu's hungry belly pressed against his chest, and he was gnawing on a piece of cake when suddenly his sharp eyes spotted a luxurious carriage driving out of the city gate. He immediately turned his head and said:
"Master, that's the convoy of Lu Yao Fairy. They seem to be leaving."
Wuyou, having heard Fengyu's words, also lifted the curtain of the carriage and got out, standing aside, waiting for the convoy to arrive.
Liang Chen was driving a carriage out of the city at a leisurely pace. He saw Wu You Daochang and his apprentice waiting by the side of the road, so he immediately turned to the people in the carriage and said:
"Miss, it's Master Wuyou. He seems to want to see you. Shall we stop"
"Hold on!"
"Yes!"
Having received his consent, Liang Chen commanded the horse to slow down. When they reached Wu You's side, the carriage came to a gentle halt.
"Master Wuyou is waiting here. Is there something you need"
The sound of ripples came from inside the car.
"Lu Yao fairy, I followed the county magistrate's private recruitment yesterday and went to the waterfall bamboo forest. The white python did not appear, but a group of white snakes appeared, killing several people."
"This county magistrate is truly a sinner. Even the Daoist priest warned them not to provoke trouble, but he wouldn't listen. Now all the sin can only be borne by him alone."
Ripple spoke softly.
"It's a good thing that big white python didn't appear, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to help them escape."
"Luck is also a kind of strength. It seems that Daoist Wuyu has some luck, and just so happens that the white python is not in its nest."
"Lu Yao Fairy, if you leave that white python to continue eating people, I'm afraid it will cause even greater panic."
"I was a little worried at first, but after meeting Master Wuyu, all my concerns disappeared. I believe you will handle everything well."
Ripple directly avoided the invitation implied in Wuxiu's words.
"Lu Yao Fairy, my master was injured by a white python last time and hasn't recovered yet. I'm afraid he won't be able to do his best. I hope the fairy can lend a hand."
Fengyu watched his own master walk around aimlessly, the other party showing no intention of responding. He directly interrupted.
Ripple, having heard Fengyu's words, raised her hand to lift the curtain on the car window. She looked at the two of them with a smile and said meaningfully:
This fairy queen merely uttered a polite remark. You really think your master's luck is so good that he killed its snake children and grandchildren without alerting the white python
Wuyou and Fengyu were both stunned, looking at Lianyi who wasn't wearing a veil. They didn't react to her words for a moment.
Luo Ying let out a cold snort, directly pulled the curtains down, and ordered Liang Chen to set off.
Wuyou and Fengyu stood there for a while, watching Lianri's car disappear, before they finally came back to their senses.
"Master, Lu Yao Fairy is truly beautiful. Is she really the same age as Purple Cloud Master"
Fengyu is struggling with this issue.
Wuyou's expression kept changing, he now understood the meaning behind Lu Yao Fairy's last words.
The white python, a creature of spirit and emotion, had already been subdued by Lady Lu Yao. She revealed the county magistrate's whereabouts to him, intending for him to intercept those reckless martial artists and, incidentally, eliminate some of the white python's offspring in the process.
"Alas! I was outmatched after all!"
Without a care, she spoke freely.
"Master, what did Lu Yao Fairy's last words mean"
Feng Yu tilted his little head and asked.
"She means the white python has already been killed by her!"
"Huh When"
Fengyu's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Let's go! Let's head back to rest and have a chat with the county magistrate. If he insists on sending people to capture the white python, we won't stop him anymore. All the blame will fall on him alone."
Yes, Master!
After returning to Huafeng City, the two went to see the county magistrate and told him about their experience in the bamboo forest by the waterfall last night. The magistrate listened patiently and then advised them to rest at the back garden and recuperate from their injuries.
The county magistrate was humiliated and quite annoyed. However, the martial arts practitioners who had returned also brought back the same news and said they were powerless and had already withdrawn.
Especially the Changwei鏢局, with its headmaster Chang Wei dead, there is chaos as several deputy heads vie for his position. They are all consumed by this struggle and have no time to concern themselves with this matter.
The ripples continued westward. Wen Lu was initially somewhat wary, but after leaving the Hua Feng city limits, she became puzzled. She couldn't understand why the Chang father and son hadn't come looking for them. Knowing these two, if they had encountered her and her daughter, they wouldn't have let them leave so easily.
While ripples are a master of hiding her deeds and seeking no fame, she would never tell Wenlu and her mother about how Chang Shun, provoked by them, had jumped into the white python's belly.
While Chang Wei was going to look for her, she tricked him, and a drop of white python's blood fell onto his boots. If he went into the bamboo forest by the waterfall, those little white snakes would consider him their ancestor and surround him. I estimate that his death would be even worse than his son's.
Ripple walked at a leisurely pace, and after ten days, Wuxiu and his disciples caught up with her.
Luo Ying's face was a bit sour as she reported to Lian Yi:
"Miss, the master and his apprentice have caught up again, and they want to travel with us. They say they just want company, but I don't know what their intentions are."
The ripples had already sensed the arrival of the two, and not surprisingly, it directly asked:
"Is Master Wuyou on our way too"
She herself doesn't even know where her destination is.
"Miss, please wait a moment, I'll go ask."
Luo Ying turned around and dismounted the carriage, and went to ask Wu Yu. After a moment, she returned to the carriage, saying with a helpless expression:
"Miss, Master Wuyou said that at the current speed, it will take another month to reach his master's sect, Ziyungong, if you continue west."
"Miss, how about we take a different route"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ri's eyes lit up, and she immediately said with a smile:
"Well then, let's go with them! It won't hurt us, and besides, I want to see the Purple Cloud Palace too."
"Okay!"
Luo Ying reluctantly agreed.
Wuyou was delighted to know that he could travel with Lu Yao Fairy all the way, so he naturally fell to the end of the line. This time, he had spent a fortune to buy a carriage, so he wouldn't have to hike like before.
Ten days later, they arrived in Huayue City. The city was bustling with excitement; vibrant flowers adorned every corner, and the throngs of people demonstrated its popularity.
"Miss, this city is so beautiful, it's even built with flowers."
Luo Huai said in surprise.
A ripple of divine awareness swept through, revealing it to be a gimmick of an inn. It was just roses planted along the wall, and over time, they grew along the wall, covering half of it. The crimson roses were particularly stunning, and from afar, they looked as if the wall had been built with flower branches.
"Since you like it, let's stay there today."
Ripple smiled and said.
Yes, Miss!
As a man entered the inn, the proprietor was busy calculating with his abacus. Upon seeing the newcomer, he immediately greeted him courteously with a bow:
"Distinguished guests, I sincerely apologize! We are fully booked at the moment!" actually able to collude with the behind-the-scenes big boss and wasn't afraid of being investigated, becoming a servant of the evil spirit.Ripples murmured to itself.In this world, wizards can colle...
