Chapter 268 - 268: Bon Voyage (1)



Before the long night ended, before dawn…

The commotion in White Millet Town had already calmed down. Only the shouts of some soldiers sounded in the distant restaurants.

In the room on the second floor of the inn, Ye Jingtang was sitting cross-legged on the bed, circulating the Jade Bone Dragon Form Picture to temper his muscles and bones while his ears were paying attention to the slightest noise in his surroundings.

After an unknown period of silence, the sound of a bird flying past came from the window, followed by the soft sound of claws kicking the window.

Tap, tap, tap…

Ye Jingtang opened his eyes, stood up with his saber in hand, walked to the window, and opened it. A white ball crawled in and fell straight on its back on the bed, pointing its claw upward. “Chirp…”

Ye Jingtang knew that it was very tiring for the bird to fly all night. He went to the bed, sat down, picked up the bird, put it on his lap, and stroked its feathers. “Have you found the place?”

“Chirp chirp!” The bird could distinguish the direction and approximate distance. When Ye Jingtang learned that Bai Siming had gone more than 100 kilometers northwest, he took out a map and searched according to the direction. He found that this place was within the sphere of influence of the Phoenix Perching Villa near Wu Province’s River Source County.

The Phoenix Perching Villa wasn’t very powerful, and River Source County was located on a transportation route, so there was basically no possibility of the Prince of Wu hiding there.

Bai Siming wasn’t injured, so it was very likely that he had gone somewhere to settle down temporarily. If Ye Jingtang wanted to keep this lead, he had to go there as soon as possible…

But Daoist Xuanji hadn’t woken up yet…

Thinking of this, Ye Jingtang frowned. He turned around and looked at the silent room next door. He placed the bird on a pillow, got up, and walked out of the door.

There were no outsiders in the small inn, and the corridor on the second floor was dark.

Ye Jingtang listened carefully at the door. Even the sound of breathing inside was barely audible. He couldn’t confirm the situation, so he opened the door.

In the not-so-large room, the red candles on the lampstand had long burned out, leaving a pool of melted wax.

The Joyful Union Sword, which had already been put into a white scabbard, was lying flat on the dressing table. Beside it was a pouch, a small gourd, and other personal items.

Behind the bed curtain, Daoist Xuanji, whose age couldn’t be seen, was wearing a snow-white dress and lying quietly on a pillow with a thin blanket covering her chest. The flush on her face had subsided, and her expression was calm. Her hands were folded at her waist as she slept on her back.

Daoist Xuanji’s appearance and bearing were clearly very gentle and elegant. She was a gorgeous beauty, but the naturally indifferent expression on her face always gave people the feeling of ‘I don’t care about anything, so I can do anything’. It made people feel that she wasn’t someone to be trifled with…

Ye Jingtang knew that she was the respected teacher of the empress and a Daoist expert. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was one of the leaders of the righteous way. Naturally, he wouldn’t judge a book by its cover and determine her personality based on his feelings.

After taking a closer look and seeing that the woman didn’t move, Ye Jingtang slowly walked to the bed and wanted to take her pulse to check her physical condition.

But before his right hand could touch her wrist, he found that a pair of black and bright eyes had silently opened in front of him and were looking at him.

Their eyes met, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Daoist Xuanji was woken up from her sleep, and a moment of confusion appeared in her eyes. Then the experience before she lost consciousness surged into her mind.

Yesterday, she had been hit by Northern Liang’s Thief Sage’s Blood Congealing Powder. It was indeed quite powerful. While she was forcing the poison out, this handsome constable had rushed over, causing her to have no choice but to leave…

He chased after her, but she escaped. In the end, she didn’t manage to escape. She increased her speed violently to show off, but she was poisoned by the Blood Congealing Powder…

She felt that this constable wasn’t a danger, so she decided to suppress the poison first. In the end, this kid came over and actually gave her a shot in the butt…

When Daoist Xuanji thought of this, her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous look.

?!

Ye Jingtang knew that things were bad. Just as he was about to retract his hand and retreat, he saw Daoist Xuanji’s left hand, which was folded at her waist, flick out at lightning speed and grab his right wrist.

Ye Jingtang knew how powerful the other party was. If she overreacted after being woken up, his arm might be broken. He immediately moved his hand, wanting to grab the other party’s wrist.

When Daoist Xuanji saw that this audacious young constable actually dared to compete with her in martial arts, a trace of amusement flashed in her eyes. She immediately jumped up and pulled with her left hand at the same time, wanting to use her superb skills to let this young constable understand what the difference between heaven and earth was.

The scenario that Daoist Xuanji imagined was probably: She, dressed in snow-white dress, would jump up from the bed. At the same time, she would pull Ye Jingtang toward the bed. The moment she jumped over him, she would wrap him into a caterpillar with the thin blanket and throw him onto the bed.

She would land gracefully and pick up the wine gourd on the dressing table to drink, leaving Ye Jingtang with an unfathomable and carefree back view.

The idea was good, but when Daoist Xuanji moved, she realized that the Blood Congealing Powder was quite strong. Her body hadn’t completely recovered, and her blood and qi circulation weren’t smooth, causing the power of her jump to be slightly weaker.

Moreover, Ye Jingtang’s speed of circulating his qi was far faster than martial artists of the same level, so his reaction speed was actually equal to hers. When she pulled hard, he planted his feet on the floor at the same time, trying to stabilize himself.

The result was that Daoist Xuanji didn’t jump up, but Ye Jingtang didn’t stop either. They directly rushed toward each other.

Under Daoist Xuanji’s terrifying explosive power, Ye Jingtang staggered and fell straight toward the bed. He originally thought that she was going to press him onto the bed. At first, he didn’t think of resisting, but just as he was prepared to say, “Heroine, wait…!”

He immediately realized that the woman in white in front of him didn’t have this intention. After she pulled him hard, her figure actually collided with him horizontally. The height she reached was insufficient to go over his head..
