Chapter 365: My Poor Heart Cannot Stand This Suffering
“At first, I wanted to search for you separately, but Yichen said that we would be safer together,” Baili Han added.
Ling Chuxi secretly wiped away her cold sweat. Ling Yichen had definitely made the right decision; if they had searched separately, Baili Han would most likely have gotten himself lost and everyone would have had to search for him.
They got into the carriage and instructed the coachman to drive to the posthouse. Ling Chuxi briefly told the two of them about the things that happened after their separation. When they heard of Ling Chuxi being hunted down by the old man, they broke out in a cold sweat even though Ling Chuxi was now standing before them in perfect condition. Only after hearing how Mo s.h.i.+li had sent the old pervert flying with his palm, did their hearts come back to reality. The two of them were even more amazed by Mo s.h.i.+li’s cultivation that could not be determined.
“I don’t even know who that old pervert really was,” Ling Chuxi frowned and said angrily.
“I don’t know either, but Chuxi, if you do meet him next time, you must be careful,” Ling Yichen reminded Ling Chuxi uneasily. He could guess that the old pervert would not give up just like that.
“Rest a.s.sured, if I can fight, I will fight. If I can’t fight, then I will just run away again.” Ling Chuxi did not want him to worry, and said with a giggle. She had determined in her heart that she must improve her cultivation. When they met again next time, she would pay him back double for the shame that he caused her previously.
The carriage dropped them at the posthouse. The envoys had been waiting for them these past few days, and they were already panicking like ants on a hot pan. What if something had happened to Ling Chuxi and the others, and they missed the a.s.sessment compet.i.tion? They did not know how they would report it to the emperor. When they saw them returning safely, they were overjoyed and rushed over to ask after them.
Ling Chuxi had been sitting in the carriage for many days and was a little exhausted. Ling Yichen and Baili Han were even more exhausted, so they replied briefly, then went back to rest in their respective rooms.
After a warm bath, Ling Chuxi fell asleep right away. It was evening by the time she woke up and stretched lazily. She felt refreshed and full of energy.
Pus.h.i.+ng the door open, she saw that Ling Yichen and Baili Han had come out as well. The three of them walked out together.
“Miss Ling, Master Ling, Master Baili, I have already ordered for wine and dishes to be prepared.” One of the envoys said quickly – he saw them heading out and was afraid that it would be like the last time when they did not return.
“There’s no need, you guys go ahead and eat. We will go out for a walk,” Ling Chuxi said. This was the capital of Ding Lin Country, so the delicacies in this city would definitely not be the same as Nan Xia Country. Wouldn’t she feel sorry for herself if she did not take this opportunity to enjoy Ding Lin Country’s specialties?
“But….” The envoy hesitated. The three of them were the precious babies of Nan Xia Country, what if there was another accident? He could only wait to be beheaded.
“Don’t worry. The three of us will be together and nothing will happen to us,” Ling Yichen said comfortingly.
The envoy could only nod his head. ‘I’m not afraid that something will happen to you, we’re afraid that you will not return like last time. Our poor hearts cannot stand this suffering.’ The envoy exchanged a few words with them before letting them go.
After the three of them walked out of the posthouse, Baili Han asked, “Where should we go now? Should we eat something?”
“Right now, we should go to the casino first, and only then look for famous restaurants to eat at.” Without waiting for Ling Chuxi to open her mouth, Ling Yichen smiled and helped Ling Chuxi answer. He knew Ling Chuxi too well.
