Ye Jingtang felt that this woman had probably drunk too much. He frowned and said, “This matter concerns the safety of the officials of the Imperial Court. Miss, your explanation, I'm afraid…”

“Young Master, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with the Prince of Wu. I hope you can keep your mouth shut about my appearance in Wu Province. Don't spread it. Otherwise…” At this point, Daoist Xuanji glanced at his waist. “I'm a very vengeful person. I will settle old and new grudges together. I'm afraid you'll regret meeting me for the rest of your life.”

To be honest, Ye Jingtang didn't really want to see Daoist Xuanji a second time. He cupped his hands and said, “Miss, don't worry. I'll definitely keep my mouth shut.”

Daoist Xuanji took two sips of wine, and her face turned red. She had failed several times in a row. Perhaps she felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't stay any longer. She stood up, took Ye Jingtang's bamboo hat away, and put it on her head. “The sun rises, and we sober up. Even though we're separated by thousands of mountains, we are under the same sky. It's fate that we met. See you again in Jianghu.”

When Ye Jingtang heard Daoist Xuanji's refined words, he stood up and raised his right hand slightly. “Bon voyage.”

1Q11

When Daoist Xuanji saw Ye Jingtang's posture, she thought that he was going to show her how good he was at literary and martial arts. When she heard this, she was instantly speechless. She picked up the Joyful Union Sword and moved her body slightly. Like a willow leaf fluttering in the wind, she silently floated out of the window. She was extremely fast and silent, and her posture was ethereal.

A look of admiration flashed across Ye Jingtang's eyes for Daoist Xuanji's extraordinary movement technique. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a sound coming from outside.

Clatter!

It was the sound of a roof collapsing.

Ye Jingtang quickly turned around and went to the window to take a look. He saw a hole, which had been created by being stepped on, in the roof of the house not far away, and tiles were falling.

He also saw the back of the white-clothed figure with an immortal aura floating in the air, rising and falling above the buildings and gradually drifting away, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Jingtang opened his mouth and wanted to comment, but he thought better of it. He felt that if this was all there was to the top three of the Eight Chiefs, then he seemed to be confident in fighting Xuanyuan Chao…

A moment later, outside the inn at the end of the street…

The sun rose in the east. It was around five in the morning, and the streets were quiet without a single person.

Ye Jingtang led his horse to the outside of the inn. Seeing that the people in the inn had also escaped due to the raid, he tied the horse to the stable. Then he carried the bird, who was sleeping like a pig, and jumped up to a window on the second floor.

There were no lights in the spacious room. A spear was leaning against the canopy bed by the wall.

In order to make it easier to observe, the curtain wasn't lowered. The two women were lying in their clothes on the bed.

Ning'er's combat strength was slightly lower than Third Lady's, so she slept on the inner side. Last night, she had been on night watch first. At this moment, her hands were folded at her waist, and she was sound asleep. Her eyelashes were moving slightly, and she looked like she was still dreaming. Her cold face even looked a little nervous. She was probably dreaming of either being caught by the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master for cheating on her or being caught by Daoist Xuanji for falling in love with someone else.

Third Lady was keeping watch. She was lying on her side and playing with the bird and flowers hairpin in her hand in boredom.

Seeing Ye Jingtang entering through the window, Third Lady quickly put the hairpin into her sleeve. She blinked her almond-shaped eyes and made a shushing gesture, indicating that Ning'er had just fallen asleep.

Luo Ning was quite vigilant. When she heard movement in the room, she opened her eyes and propped up her upper body slightly. “Has she left? Nothing happened, right?”

Ye Jingtang placed the bird in a turned-over bamboo hat. “Nothing happened. It's just that Daoist Xuanji is more… um… down-to-earth than 1 imagined. She doesn't have the airs of an expert at all. It's refreshing.”

Luo Ning heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back on the pillow again. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked a little sleepy. “She has always been casual, like a half-immortal that mortals can't understand. Don't underestimate her. She could wake up so quickly unscathed with the Soul Separating Needle and a bunch of unknown poisons. Her internal energy can be said to be unfathomable. She's dozens of times stronger than Third Lady.”

Hearing these words, Pei Xiangjun turned around. “Daoist Xuanji is powerful, not you. Why are you so smug?”

Luo Ning harrumphed lightly. “You rely on your connections to survive in Jianghu. Those who only know how to be reckless will always be goons and can't become formidable figures.”

Ye Jingtang went over and sat beside the bed. He stopped the two of them from quarreling and said softly, “The bird just returned and said that Bai Siming fled to River Source County. How was your sleep?”

When Pei Xiangjun heard this, she knew that Ye Jingtang wanted to rush over. She frowned and said, “River Source County is more than a hundred kilometers away from here. It's more than half a day's journey. You're not made of iron. You haven't slept since yesterday morning. What can you do if you chase after him now? Be dizzy while fighting with Bai Siming?”

Luo Ning nodded. “Even if we run over now, it's already noon. Bai Siming should have left long ago. Rest well first and recharge your energy. How can people work without sleep or rest? Even if humans can stand it, the bird and horses can't stand such torture.”

Ye Jingtang hadn't slept for nearly 24 hours. He could withstand it, but it was impossible for him not to be tired. Seeing that the two girls hadn't slept well either, he thought about it and didn't insist. He turned around and said, “Alright, I'll sleep for a while. Let's set off at noon and rush over early.”

Hearing this, Pei Xiangjun sat up, put on her embroidered shoes, pulled Ye Jingtang over, and pressed him onto the bed. “You can sleep here and let her treat you. You don't know, but she didn't sleep peacefully at all just now. She thought I was you and touched me everywhere.”

Luo Ning frowned. “Don't talk nonsense. When did 1 touch you?”

“You were asleep, so you naturally don't know. Not only did you touch me, but you were even breathing heavily and clamping your legs. Heh~”

After taunting her, Pei Xiangjun quickly ran out of the door and took the bird on the way.

Ye Jingtang had a strange look in his eyes. He sat down beside Luo Ning and asked, “Ning'er, were you dreaming just now?”

Luo Ning had indeed been dreaming. She dreamed that Daoist Xuanji had caught her and almost scared her to death. How could she have clamped her legs?

“Don't listen to her nonsense. I never move when I sleep. It's not like you don't know.”

Ye Jingtang shook his head and smiled. Without asking further, he leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes.

Luo Ning thought that the little thief was going to touch her steamed bun to check. Just as she was about to turn her head and pretend to be forced, she found that Ye Jingtang was sleeping soundly. She felt surprised.

Luo Ning's lips moved, but she didn't say anything. She held Ye Jingtang's hand and placed it on her bulging heart.

Ye Jingtang originally wanted to be serious, but time seemed to be a little rushed.. He thought about it and turned over…
