After coming to her senses, Song Yuju got up awkwardly and patted the dirt off. Furious, she stamped her feet. This comical sight made the man stare for a moment before breaking into laughter. He quickly apologized.
After those people set up the tents, Wei Changyuan entered the cave. Seeing the silver - masked man with a slight curve on his lips, it gave this attendant who had followed the master since childhood quite a shock.
"Master, m - master." Was he smiling?
"En." The silver - masked man supported himself on the rock wall and stood up. He then stretched out his other hand to Song Yuju. "Come and give me a hand."
Without much thought, Song Yuju quickly stepped forward to help and half - dragged the man into the tent.
Throughout this process, Wei Changyuan stood there with his mouth wide open. The master actually asked a woman to help him voluntarily. After all these years, the master had finally come to his senses!
The silver - masked man and Wei Changyuan had no food with them. Song Yuju sighed and divided the few pastries they had left between the two of them.
After the group ate some pastries casually, they returned to their respective tents to sleep. Cheng Song and Wei Changyuan kept watch. Apart from a few venomous snakes that tried to approach, there were no other uninvited guests.
Early the next morning, Wei Changyuan patrolled back and forth, while Cheng Song leaned against the rock wall with his eyes closed, resting.
Suddenly, Cheng Song opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them. "Someone's coming!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, rustling footsteps came from all directions. Wei Changyuan was greatly shocked. He drew his sword and fought with several black - clothed men.
The intense sound of metal clashing came. Song Yuju opened her sleepy eyes and poked her head out of the tent. Suddenly, a flash of the sword blade passed, and a wisp of her black hair slowly fluttered down.
"Miss!" Niaoniao was fighting with two black - clothed men at the moment. She tried to break free several times but was forced back each time. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Hearing the sound, Cheng Song immediately rushed in. With a wave of his hand, in the blink of an eye, the man's head rolled to the ground, and blood spurted out.
Outside, Wei Changyuan was gradually running out of strength and was about to be at a disadvantage.
In this critical moment, Song Yuju took out a few antidote pills and handed them to everyone. She then stuffed one into the silver - masked man's mouth. "Swallow it!"
Ignoring the silver - masked man's confused look, Song Yuju walked to the entrance of the cave and threw a black fog bomb on the ground. The pungent smell quickly filled the entire cave, and the black - clothed men flopped to the ground, twitching.
It seemed that the effect was quite good!
Just these few people dared to provoke her? Hmph, they really had a death wish!
Patting the dust off her hands, Song Yuju returned to the front of the tent. She saw the silver - masked man staring straight at her, which made her feel embarrassed.
Unable to ignore such a look any longer, Song Yuju explained helplessly, "It's not that I won't give it to you. Can you guarantee that you won't get poisoned when using it?"
"I..." The silver - masked man was speechless. Thinking about it, he had to give up.
The group got on the carriage and set off again. Around noon, they passed by a small town. Song Yuju was about to buy some dry rations from the street.
The silver - masked man looked at the dust on the pot stickers with a look of disgust on his face. Frowning, he ordered, "Wei Changyuan, go to the largest restaurant in this town and reserve a top - class private room."
Song Yuju gave him a disdainful look. Rich young masters were just so fussy!
When the group arrived at the restaurant, the dishes were just ready.
Clang -
The clear sound of a gong rang in their ears.
An old man downstairs said in a loud voice, "Dear guests, I'm Blind Lu. I've brought my children here to perform. I hope you'll give us some tips. Blind Lu thanks you all in advance!"
The lobby was still noisy, and no one paid any attention. Unexpectedly, a low - pitched sound of the zither flew out, and a young girl began to play the zither.
From a low murmur to a plaintive sigh, the soft sound was almost inaudible. Suddenly, the sound of the zither became impassioned again, and the generous melody lingered in the air, shocking everyone!
After the piece was over, everyone was still immersed in the artistic conception and couldn't extricate themselves.
"This girl has such a beautiful face. It's really enviable," Song Yuju said, her eyes fixed on the zither - playing girl and she was reluctant to look away for a long time.
Seeing that she seemed to want to glue her eyes to the girl, the silver - masked man taunted, "You're a girl yourself. How unpromising!"
Hey, it was none of his business that she admired a beauty! Song Yuju was unhappy. She frowned and said, "A beautiful girl is playing the zither, and you don't even take a look. I'm afraid..."
"Are you a homosexual?"
As soon as the word "homosexual" came out, the silver - masked man's aura suddenly sank, and his face darkened.
Wei Changyuan choked on a mouthful of food and coughed violently, tears streaming down his face from the choking.
This woman was really a remarkable person to talk to his master like this!
What shocked him even more was yet to come. The silver - masked man leaned forward. His warm breath sprayed on Song Yuju's face. "How about you give it a try?"
Facing the provocative words, Song Yuju leaned back and said with a curl of her lips, "I'm afraid you can't do it!"
Dare to say he couldn't do it?! The silver - masked man was so angry that he was about to teach her a lesson when suddenly his body stiffened and he was a bit out of control.
"You..." As soon as he opened his mouth, the corner of the silver - masked man's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Hahaha..." Song Yuju laughed so hard that she could hardly breathe and kept slapping the table.
Niaoniao and the attendant let out a puff of air and quickly covered their mouths and lowered their heads, their shoulders shaking non - stop.
The silver - masked man quickly circulated his internal energy to adjust his breath. Fortunately, his internal strength was strong, and he expelled the toxin from his body within a few breaths. His gaze was fixed on the woman in front of him.
"Who on earth are you?" The silver - masked man secretly circulated his internal energy. He stretched out his right hand into a palm and hid it under his sleeve.
