----------------------------------------------------------------

Under the morning light, Lu Yuan's shadow stretched out long and slender.

Xue Qinghe rode a horse behind, following at a leisurely pace. Patience is an essential quality in life. Some people truly lack it, but she possesses an abundance of patience.

Although he didn't turn around to look, Xue Qinghe had already anticipated the doubts of the people behind him.

Indeed, in addition to doubts, there were surely many people contemplating what she had done and what her intentions were, like her teacher, Ning Fengzhi.

She could only see what Ning Fengzhi wanted her to see. But who said that what Ning Fengzhi saw must be real? What Ning Fengzhi can see is only what she allows him to see.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Qinghe organized her slightly disorganized thoughts. She disregarded the various expressions of the people behind her and continued riding her horse to follow.

The convoy started moving again. Unusually, Xue Qinghe did not return to the carriage but took the lead, standing at the forefront of the entire procession.

Of course, Lu Yuan was ahead of her, making it impossible for her to ride her horse ahead.

Strength is strength, and politeness is politeness; the two should not be confused. Although Lu Yuan is willing to respect Xue Qinghe, the noble and majestic aura emanating from him horse made the white horse beneath her is too unbearable.

Despite being constantly infused with holy and bright soul power, the white horse still felt ashamed and demoralized in the presence of that faint yet extremely pure Dragonhorse.

After all, its ancestors were immediate superiors of the Dragon Clan. Seeing this, Xue Qinghe had no choice but to give up the idea of keeping pace with Lu Yuan.

Passing through the forest, crossing hills, traversing creeks, and meandering through grasslands, the road became increasingly vast.

This was because Soto City was situated in the middle of the Lima Plain.

As the sky grew darker, Lu Yuan slowly dismounted from his horse, patting it absentmindedly to express his satisfaction with its hard work. He then took out a large kettle, opened its lid, and removed a basin and towel. Pouring some warm water, he washed his face.

Wiping away the wind, frost, and fatigue from his face, Lu Yuan set Xue Qinghe in a state of dumbfoundedness as he took out a folded tent seemingly out of nowhere. Along the main road, he chose a clean and tidy spot and swiftly set up the tent as if no one else was present.

Flowing and silky.

That's how Xue Qinghe evaluated it. However, Why is he so skilled?!

Today during the day, weren't you still displaying the momentum of the "second and third child" recklessly? Why did you fall asleep so early in the evening?

Just fell asleep. The issue is, You're asleep, so why are these horses afraid to move?!!

Xue Qinghe squeezed the horse's belly tightly, but unfortunately, the white horse beneath her remained motionless as if it were lifeless, preferring to stand still rather than taking a step forward.

Disappointed, Xue Qinghe dismounted speechlessly and patiently walked to the tent, knocking on its door.

"Who is it?"

Xue Qinghe maintained a smiling face, continually reminding herself not to get angry.

Although they hadn't had many conversations along the way, there had been a fair share. However, since the other party had amnesia, she wouldn't dwell on this small mistake. Trying to convince herself.

A moment later, Xue Qinghe said with a gentle smile, "Brother Liu, please don't joke.Can you please confirm your identity? I am Heaven Dou Prince Xue Qinghe."

"So, is there anything else, Your Royal Highness?"

An unpredictable voice suddenly sounded from behind, causing Xue Qinghe to freeze momentarily. She composed herself and turned around.

After removing the bulky black robe, the young man appeared in a clean and tidy black robe, with light blue furry wristbands on his wrists. His handsome face and well-proportioned figure instantly caught Xue Qinghe's attention.

The attraction between opposite sexes is a potent force.Although Xue Qinghe quickly averted her gaze, the scene she had witnessed momentarily stirred her heart.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling gently, Xue Qinghe quickly suppressed her emotions. She looked towards the tent and asked calmly, "Brother Liu, are you planning to stay here?"

A half-finished sentence, combined with gestures and eye contact, can often convey the intended meaning. The art of language often reaches its pinnacle in the smallest details.

Glancing at the silent convoy not far away, Lu Yuan sighed expressionlessly. "It seems they lack courage."

"Then let's proceed!" As if granted permission in the darkness, the horses neighed, lowered their heads, and obediently pulled the heavy carriages along the main road beside Lu Yuan.

Xue Qinghe's eyes shifted slightly as she extended her hands to bow, but a strong hand stopped her.

"Remember, don't be tempted."

With a light pat on Xue Qinghe's shoulder, Lu Yuan took a step and instantly disappeared.

Only Xue Qinghe stood there, feeling a sense of loss.

After a while, Xue Qinghe mounted her horse again and followed the convoy.

After traveling for an unknown distance, Gu Rong's fingers paused slightly in the carriage, and an almost imperceptible sigh escaped her lips.

Chen Xin narrowed her eyes and took the initiative to comfort her, expressing a hint of apology. "Don't feel guilty. Accepting apprentices depends on fate, right? So far, haven't you found a suitable apprentice?"

"Moreover, isn't it because of that kid with the 'space' martial spirit?"

Upon hearing his old friend's consolation, Gu Rong glanced at Chen Xin strangely and replied with a serious expression, "Who said I regret it? I don't regret it at all! On the contrary, you haven't found an apprentice yet. I'm sure you'll experience toothache soon enough."

As the conversation between the two old friends seemed to be heading towards a confrontation, Ning Fengzhi intervened with a wry smile and quickly shifted the topic to Ning Rongrong.

Words of persuasion can be hard to swallow, and the response also carried a hint of tension, sounding more like provocation than gratitude. If this continued, another argument seemed inevitable.

Observing Xue Qinghe's expression outside the window with an inexplicable gaze, Ning Fengzhi's eyes involuntarily flickered.

To be honest, a soul master should trust their intuition. But sometimes, intuition contradicts common sense. Just like now, a vague sense of unease lingered in his heart. An unexplainable uneasiness, as if he had done something wrong.

However, after carefully revisiting everything in his mind, Ning Fengzhi couldn't find any mistakes.

Thus, he silently shifted his focus and dedicated most of his energy to the "peerless genius" he was about to meet and recruit.

No one is immune to making mistakes. But relying solely on instinct when dealing with everyone greatly increases the chances of errors.

To avoid leaving a negative impression, Ning Fengzhi decided to carefully consider how to approach the "genius" he had never met.

Night gradually fell.

Xue Qinghe instinctively glanced back, then shook her head with a smile.

Perhaps it was just a missed opportunity. But she suddenly found herself in a good mood. So, she decided to spare the life of that arrogant and impudent kid.

In the end, Qian Renxue had a sudden thought.

Everyone knew that Qian Renxue was a person driven by both love and a sharp blade.

Holding two titled Douluo cards in her hands, Qian Renxue found this person quite intriguing.

Therefore...with a huge advantage (in her own opinion), Qian Renxue once again showed her nerve-knife side, self-righteously choosing to let the protagonist go (did not send two titles to attack and kill him).
