Nian Jiaojiao was naturally unwilling to bring a follower.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to budge, Cui Qingluo gritted her teeth and said,
"In short, you are responsible. If it wasn't for you, how could I have been coerced by that perverted man? If you let me go back alone and something happens on the road, how will you be responsible?"
Nian Jiaojiao felt that she needed to clarify this matter.
So she sat down again and said,
"Speaking of this, I need to talk to you. If you hadn't chased me out of the city to cause trouble, would you have met that... perverted man? Speaking of which, I saved your life. Is this how you treat your savior?"
Cui Qingluo was speechless.
Seeing the other party lower their head, Nian Jiaojiao was extremely pleased.
Little brat, can't I handle you?
Men can't be spoiled!
However... Nian Jiaojiao thought, it was indeed a problem for him to travel alone...
His appearance was a bit too eye-catching...
She gave a warning glance to the surroundings.
From the moment she prepared to leave, many women had been looking at this side with ill intentions.
Sensing that Nian Jiaojiao was not to be trifled with, these women sheepishly withdrew their gazes.
"Alright, you follow me first," Nian Jiaojiao said.
"Really?" Cui Qingluo looked up abruptly.
"Mm."
Nian Jiaojiao nodded and continued,
"However, my matters come first."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Cui Qingluo no longer cared about haggling and quickly agreed.
......
Two days later.
Qingzhou.
The School of Miscellaneous Studies.
After reading the letter, Lei Juan immediately stood up and used her extraordinary power to rush to the location of Nian Jiaojiao's husbands.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the Nian residence, which was the former Lei residence.
*Dong dong dong*—
Considering that only men were at home in the Nian residence now, Lei Juan did not fly directly into the courtyard but knocked on the main door.
*Creak*—
The main door opened.
Xuan Yi was stunned to see Lei Juan, then nodded and bowed.
"Madam Lei."
Lei Juan smiled heartily:
"Husbands of the Nian family don't need to be so formal. Just call me Senior Sister Lei like Nian Shimei. By the way, is everyone else at home?"
Xuan Yi nodded:
"They are all here."
Hearing Xuan Yi's words, Lei Juan was finally relieved.
She had rushed over immediately after receiving the letter sent by Nian Shimei using her abilities.
According to the letter, the Black Lotus Sect was still near the capital two days ago. Now that she had taken the initiative to bring her Shimei's husbands to the School of Miscellaneous Studies for protection, her Shimei would have no worries.
Lei Juan brought Xuan Yi and the other four to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain of the School of Miscellaneous Studies and said,
"You will temporarily live here for now. I will send someone to bring you some daily necessities later."
After Lei Juan finished giving instructions and was about to leave, Nan Qing's voice came from behind:
"Senior Sister Lei, wait a moment."
Lei Juan stopped and turned around, saying,
"Is there anything else you need? Just tell me."
Nan Qing said, "Did something happen to our wife?"
Hearing Nan Qing's words, the other four men also became nervous.
Lei Juan hesitated for a moment and only said, "There's a little trouble, but it's alright. Nian Shimei will be back soon."
Nan Qing bowed to Lei Juan and said,
"Thank you, Senior Sister Lei, for clarifying."
Lei Juan nodded and turned to walk up the mountain.
After Lei Juan left, Xing Yun quickly stepped forward and said,
"Second Brother, I want to go find our wife."
Xuan Yi stopped him: "No."
Nan Qing also said, "Third brother, helping means being able to contribute."
Nan Qing's words silenced the men.
Yu Chuan turned and walked towards the house.
Seeing this, Xing Yun called out,
"Brother Yuchuan, what are you going to do?"
Yuchuan stopped without looking back and replied briefly, "Practice the zither."
At this moment, Xuan Yi also walked out suddenly.
Xing Yun: "Big Brother?"
Xuan Yi: "Practice the sword."
Xing Yun was silent for a moment, took his bag, found a room, and went inside, closing the door.
He took out paper, ink, and brush but did not immediately start writing. He simply stared at the blank Xuan paper, lost in thought.
He swore that from today onwards, he would draw well. As for the matter of drawing his wife...
A trace of struggle flashed in Xing Yun's eyes, but his gaze quickly firmed up.
His wife had said before she left that she would also help him find cultivation methods.
He wanted to be able to truly help his wife in the future!
Thinking this, Xing Yun picked up his brush to draw with unprecedented clarity in his eyes.
......
The next day.
Wuding Prefecture.
Before dawn, Nian Jiaojiao knocked on Cui Qingluo's door.
*Tap tap*—
*Tap tap tap*—
...
Nian Jiaojiao knocked on the door for a while but received no response.
Nian Jiaojiao frowned, knowing that Young Master Cui was accustomed to oversleeping and wanted to stay in bed.
With pursuers behind them, she couldn't indulge him, so she increased the force of her knocking.
*Bang bang bang*—
"Cui Qingluo, I'll count to ten. If you don't come out, I'm leaving!"
Nian Jiaojiao cleared her throat and began to count:
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
...
"Nine!"
"Ten!"
As soon as she finished saying "Ten!", the door opened.
Cui Qingluo, with a messy head of hair and disheveled clothes, walked out. Upon seeing Nian Jiaojiao, he got angry and said,
"What's the rush?"
After shouting, he felt inexplicably wronged, tears welling up in his eyes: "How can you be like this..."
Nian Jiaojiao: (⊙﹏⊙)
With this change in attitude, she found it difficult to argue with him.
She turned her back and said,
"Breakfast is ready. Get yourself together and come down quickly."
However, after Cui Qingluo came down and had only taken a few sips of porridge, that fated, "magical" male voice sounded in their ears again.
"Hehehehe, eating breakfast~ Want me to have a few bites too?"
Jun Ye raised his arm, stroking the beetle on his arm, and walked into the restaurant.
Nian Jiaojiao: !!!
Damn it! This guy is like a ghost!
Seeing him reach for the soft sword at his waist, she cursed and quickly pulled Cui Qingluo to escape.
"I wish to ride the wind and return."
Leaving a puff of smoke behind.
Jun Ye frowned as he watched the place where the two had disappeared.
Troublesome!
He knew that this line of poetry was written by her, so it could exert its maximum power in her hands.
With just a few words, she could travel from the capital to Wuding Prefecture, which was quite impressive.
However, as a cultivator who had just entered the Object Manipulation realm, how many times could she use it consecutively?
Jun Ye licked his somewhat dry lips and slowly walked to the table where Nian Jiaojiao and Cui Qingluo had been sitting.
He picked up the porridge that Nian Jiaojiao had not finished drinking and took a sip, then put down the bowl and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the restaurant waiter:
"Young master, you know the young lady and young master who were sitting here, right? They haven't paid yet. Can you...?"
Jun Ye stared at the waiter for a few seconds, then slowly took out silver fragments from his belt and threw them over.
The waiter's face lit up with joy.
She thought they were going to leave without paying!
Jun Ye turned to leave, but was called back by the waiter.
"Young master, their accommodation fees haven't been paid yet either?"
