The bright moonlight shone on the old street. The bloodstained ground had been washed clean, and the broken bricks had been moved to the side of the road.
Dongfang Liren was slowly walking through the battle-scarred street, looking at the buildings on the street with a frown, as if she was thinking about something important that concerned the people.
Ye Jingtang was walking beside her. He didn’t want to disturb Dumdum’s thoughts, but after observing for a while, he couldn’t figure out the reason for her frown. He asked, “Your Highness, what are you thinking about?”
Dongfang Liren wanted to do the same as Ye Jingtang when he investigated the murder case. From the marks on the ground and the walls, she wanted to deduce the positions and moves of the people who had fought.
But it was obvious that she had overestimated herself. She couldn’t figure them out, but it wasn’t easy for her to say it in front of Sir Tangtang, so she nodded thoughtfully. “I’m reviewing the situation of the battle. You could still retreat with ease despite being outnumbered. Your martial arts skills seem to have improved again.”
Although she had blindly guessed this evaluation through Ye Jingtang’s unscathed appearance, she indeed had the air of an expert who understood everything. She bluffed very well.
Ye Jingtang knew Dumdum’s skills, so he didn’t expose her. He only smiled and said, “Your Highness has good eyesight.”
Dongfang Liren was too embarrassed to nod. She turned around and walked to the inn. “It’s a mess here. There’s nothing to see. Let’s go back.”
Ye Jingtang glanced at the inn not far away and thought for a moment before asking, “Where is Your Highness sleeping tonight?”
Dongfang Liren and her master had run over without any attendants, so they would have to stay with Ye Jingtang.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Liren couldn’t help suspecting that this lecherous subordinate wanted to take the opportunity to serve her in bed when they were alone. But when she thought that her master was also here, her doubts were dispelled. “I’m just staying in the inn. The people from the Black Office will arrive tomorrow morning. Rest early. When they arrive, we will return to Rising Sun City. The empress dowager is still waiting in the city. If we delay too long, she will throw a tantrum again.”
“The empress dowager is here too?”
“She was cooped up in the palace for too long, so I brought her out to relax…”
After chatting for a while, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the inn. They looked inside and saw Daoist Xuanji sitting alone in the lobby. Her dress was as white as snow, and her sword was placed on the table. She looked very heroic.
Dongfang Liren was walking closely side by side with Ye Jingtang. Afraid that her master would misunderstand, she hurriedly took half a step forward and walked in front.
On the other hand, Ye Jingtang felt a little guilty. He glanced at the second floor from the corner of his eye.
The two of them entered the door, and Daoist Xuanji said with a calm expression, “Liren, go upstairs first. Ye Jingtang, help boil some water. Liren has been running all day and is sweating all over.”
Dongfang Liren didn’t bring any maids, and Ye Jingtang was the only person in the inn who could serve her to bathe.
Ye Jingtang naturally didn’t say anything about this. After watching Dongfang Liren go upstairs, he turned around and went to the backyard of the inn.
Daoist Xuanji seemed to be sitting in the lobby as a guard on night duty, but after the two of them separated, her eyes narrowed slightly. Then she stood up and silently walked out the door…
The backyard of the inn was quite big. There was a stable, a kitchen, a staff dormitory, and other buildings. Because Ye Jingtang had been so murderous, he had scared everyone away. There was no one in the backyard, only three horses parked in the stable.
Ye Jingtang first fed the horses with grass, then fetched water from the well, poured it into the big pot in the kitchen, and added firewood to the stove to boil the water.
Because he was a little bored alone, Ye Jingtang fiddled with the firewood behind the stove and even hummed a nameless tune.
“Mmhmiib”
Click!
Just as the fire was lit, the faint sound of fallen leaves breaking suddenly sounded in the night.
Ye Jingtang didn’t stop humming. He just looked at the dark night outside the kitchen from the corner of his eye.
There was no one outside the door, only the bright moonlight in the courtyard.
Ye Jingtang frowned. After he looked out the door for a while, his gaze shifted back to the stove, and he continued to fiddle with the firewood. But at this moment, someone arrived from outside.
Whoosh!
It sounded silent, but Ye Jingtang could vaguely sense something pushing through the air and rapidly approaching!
Swish!
Ye Jingtang’s reaction was extremely fast. He immediately jumped up and leaned back. A fair right hand, which was originally planning to clutch the back of his neck, and a white sleeve brushed past his eyes as fast as lightning, but they didn’t cause the slightest sound of rushing wind.
!
Ye Jingtang’s left hand was already holding the hilt of his saber. When he saw the flowing sleeve, he recognized the person. His left hand switched to grabbing the woman’s wrist, wanting to twist her right hand and pin her against the stove.
But he was obviously thinking too much.
Daoist Xuanji was indeed carefree and frivolous, but for her to be able to fight her way into the top three of the Eight Chiefs, it was enough to show that her martial arts skills had long reached the level of transcendence.
When Daoist Xuanji saw that Ye Jingtang wanted to counterattack, her right hand seemed to turn into a boneless white snake. It instantly wrapped around his wrist and slithered up to lock his left arm. At the same time, her finger pointed at his chest.
Although there was still a gap between Ye Jingtang and Daoist Xuanji, it wasn’t to the extent that his reaction couldn’t keep up with her. After all, he had also reached the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man. When their hands met, he had already used the method of the Wind Listening Palm. His hand followed her qi and instantly pushed away her fair hand. His right hand flicked out at the same time and pointed at the chest of the beauty in white.
Surprise flashed across Daoist Xuanji’s eyes when she saw her self-created technique. Then she smashed her knee at Ye Jingtang’s crotch.
Bam!
Her knee struck out, producing a muffled sound out of thin air!
F*ck!e Jingtang’s hair stood on end. He really didn’t expect that a dignified female Martial Chief would use such a despicable move when fighting.
If this knee hit him, he might really have to take over the role of the keeper of the seal. He immediately clamped his legs together to defend against the heinous attack and changed his right hand from pointing to grabbing.. He blocked the opponent’s right hand and hurriedly said, “Heroine, wait!”
