Chapter 71: Criminal

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the men packed up everything, the two carriages of the General’s Manor left the capital in the morning.

Bai Xianyu sat in the carriage, still a little sleepy.

The coachman expected a delay of about three days on the road, and Master Yuchan would begin preaching in five days.

The journey was not easy, and it was very bumpy.

When the evening came, the carriage stopped in front of an inn.

Bai Xianyu’s legs were a little sore from all the shaking when she stepped on the ground.

“…If it’s going to take several hours, why don’t I ride my horse there first?” She hammered her legs.

Green Pearl had already booked a room. She walked out with a smile. “Miss, I’ve just told the shopkeeper to get the attendants to get ready some hot water. Miss can take a bath later.”

“Okay.”

Bai Li alighted from another carriage and saw Bai Xianyu frowning in discomfort. He quickly walked over. “What’s wrong, Miss?”

Bai Xianyu took two steps forward, her almond-shaped eyes benign and beautiful. “My legs are numb from sitting in the carriage. 1’11 be fine after standing for a while.”

Bai Li usually interacted with burly men and had never seen many delicate young ladies. Moreover, this was his Master’s most precious sister. He usually did not dare to look up. Now that he could see the young lady’s appearance at such a close distance, he scratched his head shyly.

“Green Pearl just said that the bath water will be ready later. After Miss have your bath, your legs shouldn’t be so sore anymore.”

Bai Xianyu also thought so too. “Let’s go in and eat first.”

The location of this inn was relatively remote, and the people who usually came were all martial artists. After dinner, Bai Li arranged for people to guard the night. He also stood on a tree not far away with his sword.

This position gave him a wide view and was also close to Bai Xianyu’s room.

He hesitated for a long moment before he knocked on her window.

Bai Xianyu was still awake and had removed her hair bun. Her thick black hair draped around her waist. When she heard the rattling sound from the window, her red lips curled up slightly. “Bai Li?”

“Miss, I’ve found some medicinal liniment that can relieve pain… If you need it, your subordinate will place it on the window ledge.”

Bai Xianyu opened the half-closed window. Her exquisite facial features were as beautiful as a fairy under the moonlight. “Okay, thank you.”

Bai Li did not dare to look up. He only saw a corner of his Miss’ clothes when he was placing the medicine bottle.

Just as Bai Xianyu was about to get it, Green Pearl’s scream came from the first floor of the inn.

“… Let go of me!”

Her body trembled, and Bai Li’s expression changed drastically. He immediately went down to investigate the situation. “Miss, 1’11 be back soon.”

Bai Xianyu’s heart was burning with anxiety. She gripped the medicine bottle tightly and followed him downstairs.

Green Pearl’s voice came from the stables. Their luggage was there. Hopefully, she had only encountered someone who wanted to rob them.

However, after Bai Xianyu came down, she immediately felt that something was wrong. Her speed was not considered fast. Bai Li had used his Qinggong skill to go over, but there was no sound of fighting from the other side.

She immediately walked back, but someone covered her mouth.

Bai Xianyu had let her hair down. There was not even a hairpin on her head. In a moment of desperation, she immediately bit the other party hard.

The tall figure hissed softly. She vaguely felt that it sounded familiar, but the most important thing now was to run!

However, before she could take two steps, her already sore legs actually twitched. Bai Xianyu fell to the ground, and her ankle hurt with a scorching pain.

She endured the pain and turned around. She wanted to retreat, but the man grabbed her calf.

The clouds parted and the moon could be seen.

This “criminal” had a face that was exactly the same as Xie Xingyun..
