"Alright then." While agreeing, he cursed silently in his heart, wondering why he bothered his big brother. Clearly, his big brother was upset because his sister-in-law left without saying goodbye. Asking him now would just trouble him further.
"Sigh..."
"Alright, stop sighing." Ye Haoyang patted him. "Big brother is very tired. If you can share so of his burdens, then do it."
He quietly glanced at Ye Haoxuan, who was walking ahead, thinking that his big brother looked so lonely from behind, surely because of his sister-in-law.
The thought made him feel sorry for his big brother.
His big brother was so pitiful at this mont. As his brother, if he didn’t help relieve his worries, what kind of brother would he be?
With this in mind, his spirits lifted again.
"Don’t worry, second brother, I understand."
"That’s good." Ye Haoyang continued, "Among the items transported earlier, there is a sword made by Master Zhu Yun of the previous dynasty. I’ll give it to you later."
The items he ntioned were the treasures transported from White Stripe Mountain, a mountain full of boxes. He looked and saw they were not just gold, but also many boxes of silver, jewelry, paintings, weapons, and more.
"Hehe, thanks a lot, second brother!" Ye Rongqing was also very fond of items like swords, and whenever Ye Haoyang got sothing good, he would save it for him.
"Let’s go!" After ruffling his hair, the group mounted their horses and returned to the Capital City.
On the other side, Li Luru, with Xiaobai, was dressed as a boy, riding a horse alone, wandering aimlessly.
At this mont, she didn’t know where to go. She definitely couldn’t return ho, or else her mother would certainly make her marry the Wang Family’s son.
But without going ho and unable to find her master or go to the Capital City, she was a bit lost.
"Miss, where are you going?" A few young n on horseback surrounded her horse.
Li Luru frowned. She had already disguised herself as a man, so how did they recognize her?
Looking at the guys in front of her, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. Has the world beco so chaotic that you encounter bad people everywhere?
If so, she truly had to thank Ye Haoxuan for taking her in for so long.
Thinking of Ye Haoxuan, she wondered if he’d be angry when he found out she had left.
The man in the red robe asked, "Why isn’t the lady speaking?"
The man in the green robe said, "Could she be mute?"
"Miss, where do you want to go? Don’t you recognize the road? Would you like so help?" The man in the blue robe spoke up, "We saw you standing here for nearly an hour, assuming you might not know the way, so we ca over to ask."
So that was it!
Li Luru breathed a sigh of relief, grateful they weren’t ruffians.
After thinking it over, she waved her hand and pointed at the bird. Xiaobai then flew up and led the way ahead.
"So the lady’s bird knows the way." The man in the blue robe noted. He initially didn’t want to get more involved, but upon seeing her captivating side profile—even in n’s clothing—it couldn’t hide her grace, and his eyes flickered.
"It seems the lady is heading south?" The man in blue added, "Coincidentally, I’m also heading south for business. Since you’re traveling alone, why not join ?"
Li Luru frowned. How was he so familiar already, and how did he know she was going south?
She hadn’t even decided where to go yet.
She quickly waved her hand to decline.
What she didn’t know was that the man in blue was rely making a random guess. Seeing her remain silent, he wondered if she really was mute, which would be boring.
"Miss, why do you keep silent?"
