Chapter 116 Entering the Village at Midnight

"So what did you see?"

Gu Yunqi didn't take it seriously. Could such a delicate little girl possibly beat him up? Anyway, she didn't hear anything.

Seeing his expression, Jun Qianzi sighed, "I saw that the girl had a sachet on her waist that was exactly the same as A-Yue's."

"So what if she has one? These days, what young girl doesn't have a sachet?"

He continued chewing the snowflake crisp in his mouth, then suddenly his eyes widened. "What did you say?! It's exactly the same as A-Yue's?!"

Seeing the crumbs of pastry flying everywhere from his mouth, Jun Qianzi took two steps back in disgust. This time, he remained calm, saying, "No different from A Yue's."

He sat down and took a sip of tea, still recalling the appearance of the sachet in his mind.

Gu Yunqi stopped eating the snowflake pastry, jumped in front of him, and asked closely, "You're not mistaken, are you? Are they really the same?"

"The embroidered twin orchids on it, there's no mistake," Jun Qianzi said, tilting her head back to push away the somewhat abstract face.

Gu Yunqi pulled him up and rushed outside in a panic. "No! I have to go check! If it really is A-Yue, we'll go to that village tonight."

It's strange that he didn't think of the possibility that A-Yue might go there! They had stayed in that place for so many days and it was so remote that even if Jun Shuyan's men came, they might not be able to find it.

Jun Qianzi pulled him back, saying, "The shop owner should be bringing the little baby over soon; you can take a look then."

Gu Yunqi thought for a moment and nodded, but Jun Qianzi couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful what you say, don't offend the young lady."

He's destined to worry, always afraid that if this guy gets beaten up, he'll bother him day and night again.

Gu Yunqi sat at the entrance of the clinic, almost falling asleep, when Wen Luozhi finally arrived.

He suddenly stood up and rushed over, startling Wen Luozhi with the ugly face that suddenly appeared and magnified before her eyes.

She instinctively raised her hand and punched him. Gu Yunqi was hit in the eye socket and screamed, "Ah!"

He took a few steps back, covered his eyes, and said angrily, "Why did you start hitting me as soon as you arrived?!"

Wen Luozhi then noticed it was him and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, you suddenly rushed over and startled me a bit."

Looking at that ugly face, she patted her chest with lingering fear.

Gu Yunqi cried out a few times and then turned his gaze to her waist, where he indeed saw the same sachet as Helian Yue's.

"Young lady, your sachet is so pretty, where did you buy it?" he asked with a grin.

He wanted to get closer to take a better look at the sachet, but the pain in his eye socket made him take two steps back.

I really don't understand how this girl is so strong! She looks as delicate as those daughters of officials in the capital, yet her punch hit him so hard.

That was so rough, he didn't act like a girl at all! His eyes hurt so much! His face was already ugly, and this beating made it even uglier!

"I didn't buy it, someone gave it to me," Wen Luozhi said, glancing at the sachet at her waist and shaking her head.

Gu Yunqi was still eager to ask who sent it when Mo Li, standing to the side, raised his head and said to Wen Luozhi, "Miss, it's getting late, you should go back!" As he spoke, he glared at Gu Yunqi.

This person is so annoying! Why is he staring at the young lady's waist? He's an ugly and shameless lecher!

Wen Luozhi glanced at the sky, said a few words to Mo Li, and then got into the carriage.

While the two were talking, Gu Yunqi anxiously scratched his head and cheeks because he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Whenever he tried to speak, the little kid would suddenly raise his voice, making it impossible for the girl to hear him.

"Hmph, I said, why are you so annoying!" Gu Yunqi pouted and looked at Mo Li with dissatisfaction.

He had barely rubbed his eyes when Wen Luozhi's carriage had already driven away. If he wanted to ask any more questions, he would have to wait until tomorrow.

Mo Li ignored him, pushed open the door of the clinic with a stern face, and went in, making Gu Yunqi stomp his feet in anger.

Forget it! Why should he bother with a little brat? If he didn't get the answer, he didn't get the answer. He can just go to that place called Shanquan Village tonight and see if he can find any trace of A-Yue.

That evening, he and Jun Qianzi each rode a horse to Shanquan Village. When they were almost at the village entrance, they found a place to hide their horses.

Looking at Jun Qianzi's face, Gu Yunqi couldn't help but mutter, "Why is yours so pleasing to the eye? Why is mine so ugly? So ugly that people would want to hit me if they saw me!"

He raised his hand to touch his eyes, and gasped in pain.

Before leaving, he looked at himself and saw that his face and the area around his eyes were red and purple.

It has to be said that this mask is really thin; when worn on the face, you can't see the injury at all, as it's just a thin layer of skin underneath.

Paying attention to the surroundings, Gu Yunqi soon led Jun Qianzi to the big tree.

The two of them leaped lightly and landed steadily on the tree. Gu Yunqi pointed ahead and said to him, "See that house with a little bit of light? That's the small business owner's house."

After saying that, he licked his lips and touched his stomach, feeling a bit hungry.

Before, you could smell the aroma of food wafting from that small business owner's house from a great distance while sitting on this tree. Luckily, her family owns a shop in town, otherwise he would still be thinking about it.

I'm still thinking about that half-bowl of braised pork he ate when he sneaked in late at night last time!

At that time, he didn't know that the dish was called braised pork; he just thought it smelled so good that he couldn't stop eating it.

Later, after he was injured, he ate the food that Jun Qianzi bought and realized that there was a food shop called Warm Home that sold food, and the taste was exactly the same as the food he had stolen that day.

He had originally planned to eat this braised pork for the next few days, but he didn't expect that the shop would sell different dishes every day.

Jun Qianzi looked in the direction he was pointing, following his hand. Because it was dark and he wasn't a martial artist, he could only see a tiny bit of light. In the blink of an eye, that tiny bit of light disappeared.

After handing the restaurant's land deed to Xie He for safekeeping, Wen Luozhi returned to her room. By the dim light, she took out the building plans for the house and started sketching. Just as she finished, the wick of the lamp burned out.

She groped her way into bed in the dark, lying down with her eyes closed, still thinking about how to decorate the third floor of the restaurant.

She was probably too tired and there was no Wolf Overlord making a ruckus in the room, so she soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the room where Helian Yue was resting, Lang Batian twitched his ears, stood up from the table, lazily yawned, and then ran out of the room.

As soon as it went out, Helian Yue, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes. He held his breath, his eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

Gu Yunqi shielded Jun Qianzi behind him. Just as he glanced at the courtyard wall and was about to fly him inside, he saw something white being thrown out in the darkness.

Thinking he had been discovered, he turned to run away, but Lang Batian lightly leaped in front of him, his purple eyes scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Ugh, how did this guy get so ugly? He wasn't this ugly when I came to steal his leftover braised pork last time.
