It was a little hot, but that was precisely when the sky would be a stunning clear blue Wild flowers bloomed everywhere Yan Hui took a deep breath, walked up the hill, and saw the lone grave that had been unswept for so long She silently stood there for a long time Then she knelt down in front of it However, it wasn't a proper posture like when other people payed respects to a grave
Yan Hui had an innate undisciplined air She wasn't overly respectful, yet nor was she disrespectful
”Mother” She looked off to the side There was another toht like the to in front of She pursed her mouth and called out, ”Drunkard old hter has returned to visit you two”
Yan Hui carried a jar of wine bought froe's brewer madam She uncorked it and poured it out in front of the crooked torowing here In any case, it's going to grow back”
Tian Yao had been silently listening for a long ti over her: ”Since you've coraves?”
”When Mother passed aere so poor we couldn't even afford a flirassy layer” Yan Hui wiped at the words on the gravestone ”What if the grass was grown by my mother?”
Tian Yao silently listened
Yan Hui's mother died early, so Yan Hui didn't have many memories of her However Yan Hui still re her
Yan Hui never felt such tender protection from anyone else after that
After her mom passed away, her dad started to drink heavily He was stuck in a drunken stupor all day long Yan Hui as a result grew up like a wild child Even though Ling Xiao eventually brought her to Chen Xing Mountain, no one could replace the warrave for a long tio”
Tian Yao turned to look at her: ”To where?”
Yan Hui ru keys: ”I've paid et the reward I nearly sacrificedYa Toas actually still a bit of a distance fro Sword technique, it was only half a day's travel For the first ti Sith her tag-along As long as Tian Yao didn't keep asking her dumb questions, she could pretend to be stupid and silently take hi her in any way
With the Propelling Sword technique, they reached Feng Ya Town at nightfall The pair see at inns Although neither of them had been to this town before, they easily found an inn after reading the signs and asked for two rooinally planned on a calht, she heard a rustling sound on the roof
It sounded like one person was chasing another right overhead
Then the two people started to talk right above her roo to convention, Yan Hui shouldn't be able to hear what they were saying However, she used the heart technique Tian Yao taught her and was able to hear the whisperers on the roof right in her ear
”Crown prince, crown prince Ow Please co in Central Plains The person wasn't found, yet you are still here How am I suppose to explain this to Seventh Prince?”
”Just say whatever Until I found ely familiar to Yan Hui
”Ah you devil Last ti Mountain's daoist priest It scared this servant to death In the end you were fine It's been so long, but you still haven't found her Please give up The king of course will send other people to search”
Yan Hui raised an eyebrohat she heard For the ti, she put aside her sleep and sat up Then she dashi+ngly leaned against the wall
”I won't I won't return until I find my aunt! There'll be a clue in this town”
”Ah you brat, come back What if a daoist priest captures you in the ht?”
The pair's footsteps passed over the roof Their voices also got fainter and fainter
Yan Hui rubbed her chin and slowly pondered over what she just heard
Scared of being caught by xian cultivators If they weren't demons, then they were heretical cultivators Earlier, they alsoA servant and a prince Based on those, Yan Hui inferred they were likely froht be from the nine-tailed fox demon clan After all, heretical cultivators didn't have such rankings
The little prince wanted to find his aunt Then his aunt was a princess
Qing Qiu's nine-tailed fox demon princess
Yan Hui suddenly had a recollection Previously when she was at Heavenly Fragrance, Feng Qian Shuo ca there and said, ”Qing Qiu lost a nine-tailed fox demon princess”
Looks like that really did happen
This indeed was big news, but it also had nothing to do with her Yan Hui curled her lip and yawned She minded her own business and went back to sleep
Early the second day, Yan Hui brought Tian Yao along to Qi Jue Clan's jewelry story She had to first get so with her permanent second shadow
Qi Jue Clan's jewelry store was located on the town's business street Two burly, big uarded it with stony faces Every person that wanted to walk through the doors was stopped and questioned Yan Hui was no exception when she walked over Two big hands extended and blocked her path: ”What's your business?”
Yan Hui took out the key froet money”
The two burly men froze for a second and then immediately withdrew their hands They took a step back and bowed in greeting: ”Us subordinates were impudent Madam, come in ”
So a key could have this kind of effect Yan Hui was secretly pleased She even put on an act and nodded her head: ”No need to be overly respectful Yous off Tian Yao just expressionlessly looked back
He received this kind of respect plenty of times in the past
Tian Yao didn't bow and scrape over Yan Hui In coh the doors, the shopkeeper fluttered over and started bowing and scraping: ”Madaher-ups send madam here to inspect our operations?”
Yan Hui shook her head: ”I'h”
”Oh yes, of course,” the shopkeeper repeatedly cried ”Perhaps madam would like to rest in the rear courtyard for a few et soreement and allowed the shopkeeper to lead the way
They had just reached the courtyard when Yan Hui's sharp ears picked up a familiar voice It furiously and sorrowfully cried: ”There's no news anywhere! Aunt must have ran into trouble!”
”Oh, you little devil Squash that thought! Don't go thinking nonsense”
Yan Hui looked up In front of her was an old htly stooped over, and he huh and chest out
