“Just what it sounds like…” An Quan waved his hand nonchalantly.

Regardless of what the Wan Family intended, at this point, Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng had already left Wan County with Du Man and others.

To tell the truth, Du Man and the rest were still dazed, clueless about how they had escaped, and surprisingly, found themselves waking up in the inn.

Especially Shadow Three, who had thought his end had come, but instead, it felt like he just had a good night’s sleep and awoke without a scratch.

However, as perplexed and astonished as everyone was, no one asked questions.

Instead, they developed a newfound understanding of their master: that actually, he could do anything just as they could.

This realization dampened their spirits a bit, but on reflection, they felt honored and it bolstered their fierceness and loyalty.

Not far out of Wan County, they saw a lone figure waiting by the roadside with a horse – clearly waiting for them.

“Brother Xie.” Gu Qingheng reined in his horse.

“Are you waiting for us?”

“Yes, we’re heading in the same direction, let’s go together.” Xie Tai flashed a smile and mounted his horse.

He had brought two attendants with him, but unfortunately, they were lost in the recent incident.

Gu Qingheng glanced at Yang Ruxin, saw her nod slightly, and agreed right away.

“I owe you and your wife my life for this.” Xie Tai smiled again.

“If there’s ever anything…”

“Actually, there is something.” Gu Qingheng casually threw the Flower-picking Soft Sword over to him.

“I’ll trouble you with this, no need for payment.” This was the weapon his master had given him, and even though it wasn’t as formidable as the Blood-drinking Sword, he wouldn’t just leave it to collect dust.

He trusted Xie Tai with its repairs.

Xie Tai was slightly startled and then grinned: “No problem, it’ll take about half a month.”

Yang Ruxin had been indifferent towards Xie Tai before, but having interacted with him, though briefly, she found his gaze honest, and he seemed grateful.

This reminded her of Li Xiang.

It wouldn’t be bad if those two could be together, but it all came down to fate.

If possible, she hoped they could interact more.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Xie Tai could overcome the shadow of his former fiancée; otherwise, she wouldn’t want Li Xiang to suffer.

The suffering referred to wasn’t financial, but emotional.

Gu Qingheng seemed to sense Yang Ruxin’s thoughts, and come evening when they were settling down, he playfully pulled her aside to ask, “Looking to play matchmaker?”

Yang Ruxin was momentarily stunned, then laughed.

She had taken a few extra glances at Xie Tai and didn’t realize that he would notice – the Heart Poisonous Insect was truly…

quite bizarre.

“Actually, when it comes down to it, Brother Xie is indeed a good person.

It’s just uncertain whether he’s gotten over that hurdle in his heart,” Gu Qingheng sighed.

“Otherwise, should I test the waters?”

Yang Ruxin immediately smiled: “Thank you, my dear.” Because of her wish, he was willing to do such a thing – this man always knew how to make her feel warm at crucial moments.

“Don’t I get a reward?” Gu Qingheng raised his eyebrows teasingly.

“Then seduce me.

As you know, I can’t resist your charms…” Yang Ruxin reached out and hugged his waist.

Gu Qingheng leaned down and kissed Yang Ruxin’s lips fiercely: “It’s me who can’t resist, okay?

You’re such a tease, holding you every day yet getting nowhere, I’m going to go crazy sooner or later…”
