[Bonus Chapter]
…
"Speaking of which, Sister Chi Meng, why did you come to Zhongyuan?"
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, while Chi Meng was still eating, the others had already put down their chopsticks. Lu Linxuan asked curiously.
Chi Meng took a few bites of rice before she stopped and said, "Looking for someone."
"Looking for someone? Who?" Li Xingyun took a sip of tea and asked curiously.
Chi Meng took two more bites of rice and said, "Buliangshuai."
"What? You want to find the Buliangshuai?"
Hearing Chi Meng's words, everyone except Shen Ye was shocked.
"Yeah, is there anything strange?" Feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange, Chi Meng finally put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at them in confusion.
They were the ones who found it strange... Shen Ye pretended not to know and said, "It is strange. After all, he is not an ordinary person."
"Of course I know he is not an ordinary person, otherwise why would I look for him?" Chi Meng said unhappily.
At this time, Li Xingyun frowned and asked, "Then why did you look for him?"
"For help." After Chi Meng said these two words, his expression became sad: "My father was captured by the Miaojiang Poison Cave. I want to find the Buliangshuai to save him."
"Who is your father? Why do you have to find the Buliangshuai to save him?" Li Xingyun continued to ask.
Chi Meng was in a very low mood at this time, and said in a depressed tone: "My father is the Gu King of Miaojiang. I heard that my father and the Gu King of Ten Thousand Poison Valley who captured him were both subordinates of the Buliangshuai, so I want to find him to seek justice."
"Shi Yao, he is your colleague!" Shen Ye immediately said to Shi Yao.
Hearing this, Chi Meng immediately looked at Shi Yao and said, "Big sister, are you a subordinate of the Buliangshuai?"
"Yeah!" Shi Yao nodded.
"Then can you take me to find the Buliangshuai?" Chi Meng asked hurriedly.
Shi Yao glanced at Shen Ye and shook her head, "I am the young master's maid now. I haven't seen the Buliangshuai for a long time."
Chi Meng was immediately disappointed, but she heard Shi Yao say, "Sister Chi Meng, don't be disappointed. If you want to save people, you don't have to look for the Buliangshuai."
"Who should we look for then?" Chi Meng asked.
Shi Yao didn't say anything, her eyes fell on Shen Ye who was drinking tea.
Following her gaze, Chi Meng looked at Shen Ye.
"Big brother?"
Then, she frowned: "But the strength of the Gu king of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley is above the Greater Heaven Level, can Big brother do it?"
"Then do you think that Buliangshuai is okay?" Shen Ye asked back with dissatisfaction. He was actually looked down upon, and by the Miao girl who had just confessed to him not long ago.
"I don't know, but..." Chi Meng didn't notice his dissatisfaction, but lowered her head and thought, "Since my father and the Gu King are both his subordinates, he must be able to do it."
"Since you think he can do it, then so can I. If even I can't do it, it's useless even if you find him." Shen Ye put the teacup in his hand on the table and said very domineeringly.
On the side, Li Xingyun added: "Brother Shen's strength is as unfathomable as that of the Buliangshuai, and a few months ago, Brother Shen killed the Demon King Zhu Youwen who was above the Greater Heaven Level with a single palm strike in Jiao Lan Palace."
Chi Meng didn't know who the Demon King Zhu Youwen was, but she knew how powerful he was as he could kill someone above the Greater Heaven Realm with just one palm. Her eyes, which had been dimmed by sadness, suddenly lit up.
"Big brother, you are so powerful?"
"Oh, it's nothing to mention." Shen Ye enjoyed Chi Meng's admiring gaze and pretended immediately.
Then Chi Meng looked at him expectantly again.
"Then big brother, can you come with me to Miaojiang to rescue my father?"
"What do you think?" Shen Ye smiled and touched her head: "Don't forget, you said you would marry me."
…
Although the plot of going into Miaojiang to rescue people was originally supposed to happen in the fourth season, the plot is already messy anyway, and Shen Ye doesn't mind it being a little more chaotic. Moreover, if he goes there earlier, some tragedies can be avoided.
However, no matter how early, Shen Ye had no plans to leave immediately. Miaocheng Tian's health had just improved, and he was leaving like this. Even if Miaocheng Tian had no objection, he would still feel bad.
Moreover, Chi Meng's father will be fine for a while. After all, in the original plot, the Witch King is making the God of War Altar. The Gu King, who at least has the strength of a great celestial being, is an excellent material, and the Witch King will never kill him easily.
So, after dinner, Shen Ye said goodbye to Li Xingyun and returned to the inn with Lu Linxuan and the others...
Next, more than half a month passed in a flash.
After more than half a month of meticulous treatment, Miaocheng Tian's meridians were cured ahead of schedule. At the same time, her strength was consolidated at the Lesser heaven level, and she was considered an expert in the martial arts world.
And now it is time to set out for Miaojiang.
However, before setting off, Shen Ye asked Xuanjing Tian to notify the Yuzhou branch of Huanyinfang and asked them to send a pigeon message to the empress to tell her what they were going to do in Miaojiang.
Afterwards, the group said goodbye to Li Xingyun and set off for Miaojiang.
…
To be honest, the road to Miaojiang is not easy.
It took several days of walking on a flat road to enter Shu from Yuzhou, but after they passed through Shu and entered the Miao territory, all they saw were either numerous mountains or rugged mountain paths. On some roads, riding a horse or taking a car was even slower than walking.
Fortunately, everyone had martial arts skills, and the girls were not pampered. In addition, they were accompanied by their loved ones, so although the journey was hard, no one complained.
After walking for more than ten days, the group had already entered the Miao area. However, they had not seen a single village yet.
"Sister Chi Meng, have you taken the wrong road?" In the carriage, Lu Linxuan lowered the curtains and said to Chi Meng.
"Sister Lu, I'm sorry."
Chi Meng lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly. It was her first time out of Miao territory, so when she came back, she was not familiar with some of the roads.
"Damn, the climate in Miaojiang is really weird. It's been raining for four or five days and it won't stop."
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Shen Ye got in from outside, cursing.
When he lifted the car curtain, the drizzle outside drifted into the car along with him. Shi Yao, who was sitting closest to the outside, frowned slightly.
However, the reason why Shi Yao frowned was not because the rain fell on her body, but because she saw that Shen Ye's whole body was soaked by the rain. She couldn't help but go forward and hug him with heartache.
"Sir, let me go out and drive later."
"No, the rain won't stop anytime soon. I don't plan to continue walking. I'm going to find a place to rest first."
Shen Ye shook his head, and hugged Shi Yao's waist tightly with his hands, resting his head lightly on her firm and soft chest. Her plump and mature body made his body temperature, which had dropped slightly due to the rain, slowly return to normal.
