She's actually taking the initiative to invite me up?
Tang Li's heart was wild with joy, but he still tried his best to maintain his calm and collected demeanor.
He clasped his hands and said mildly, "A chance encounter is fate. Then this one will leave it to fate."
"Come on up," the woman said warmly.
The coachman's lips twitched disdainfully. This guy was just trying to hitch a ride, but now he's leaving it to fate? He's just a sanctimonious swindler! The coachman didn't dare to speak, because his young miss had set a rule that he could only answer questions when asked. Otherwise, he had no right to speak of his own accord.
The young miss was a shrewd businesswoman who liked refined, refined, and handsome men, especially those who cultivated the Dao. Encountering such a man would make her a little foolish.
The coachman had no choice but to continue on his way without a word.
Tang Li sat in the carriage and calmed his restless heart. It was better to hide in a carriage than to run around on his own.
They were heading in the direction of Long Fei Ye's side courtyard, which was the opposite of the direction he'd fled in. As the saying went, the most dangerous place was also the safest place. Father and Aunt Ru would never guess that he'd turn back so soon after escaping.
Tang Li was lost in his own world while the woman leaned lazily against the seat, one hand propping up her head as she studied him with interest.
This man was thin and handsome, his robes whiter than snow and his hair as black as ink. He was like an ink painting in front of her eyes, one black and one white, forming a world of their own.
The woman had seen many similar men before, but she fell in love with this one at first sight. She liked him very much. Ever since she'd come of age, her eldest brother had urged her to marry repeatedly. He wanted to use marriage as a way to increase the family's strength, but she'd always used all sorts of excuses to delay. Now that her eldest brother was in trouble, he urged her even harder. If she could bring this man back and marry into her family, that would be a good idea.
Mount Shuangqing was a place for cultivators. Although it wasn't a major power, it had great influence and had a large number of followers in Cloud Realm Continent.
"Sir Changli, are you going back to Mount Shuangqing?" the woman asked.
Only then did Tang Li recover his wits and lie at his fingertips. "Exactly. If you follow this path, you'll reach the foot of Mount Shuangqing in about half a day. "
"Which master of Shuangqing Mountain is Young Master Changli's disciple?" The woman asked.
Long Fei Ye's residence was at the foot of Shuangqing Mountain. Tang Li knew a little about it, so he replied, "I am the eldest disciple of the Sky Mystic Master of the Qing Yun Palace on Shuangqing Mountain."
The woman was overjoyed. There were three great palaces on Shuangqing Mountain. Among them, the Azure Cloud Palace was the main palace. The Sky Xuan Master's reputation and prestige were the greatest. His eldest disciple could also be considered a character.
She nodded in satisfaction and waited for Tang Li to ask her name and identity. But to his surprise, Tang Li did not ask anything. Instead, he closed his eyes and sat there quietly. His hands were placed on his Dantian, as if he was meditating and cultivating.
If Han Yunxi saw how quiet Tang Li was, she would definitely think that he had been poisoned and turned mute!
As the woman watched, she liked him more and more. She wondered if she should go up the mountain with Young Master Changli and directly meet with the Sky Xuan Master to discuss the matter of marrying into the family.
Although Shuangqing Mountain was quite famous, in terms of strength, it was not on the same level as her family. She was confident that she could suppress the Sky Xuan Master and make him agree to marry Young Master Changli to her.
She decided to settle the marriage herself and then go back to inform her big brother. It would be best if she could cook the rice. When the time came, no matter how angry or dissatisfied her big brother was, he would not be able to do anything to her.
She knew that if her big brother had the power to decide on her marriage, he would definitely find her a husband's family that was on par with her family's. In this way, she would not be able to find a husband and could only get married. Once she married into a large family, many things would be out of her control.
Thinking of this, and looking at the very satisfied Young Master Changxian in front of her, the woman secretly made up her mind. In the next few days, she would definitely settle the matter of her marriage!
She thought that as long as it was the type she liked, after marriage, as long as there was time, she would be happy to slowly cultivate feelings for him.
The carriage continued to move forward. The Tang Sect seemed to be sitting quietly, but in reality, they were paying attention to the movements around them. He had to be on guard against running into people from the Tang family.
He did not know that the woman in the carriage had an extraordinary identity. He also did not know that the carriage did not follow the original path, but instead avoided the main road and took a secluded path.
Therefore, he did not have the chance to run into anyone from the Tang family.
At this time, not only were the people from the Tang family looking for him, even Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were looking for him.
Tang Li was not an idiot. He could tell that the woman in the carriage was not simple. Therefore, he was very quiet the whole way. When it came to lying, the more you said, the more mistakes you made.
Half a day was still very long. Tang Li secretly opened his eyes several times to look at the woman, only to see her lazily leaning against a high pillow to take a nap. Although she was dressed as a man, she looked like a high and mighty queen, arrogance and haughtiness written between her brows.
Tang Li thought, 'Whoever marries this kind of woman will be unlucky!'
The woman suddenly opened her eyes, took out a clean handkerchief from the side of the luggage, and moved closer to Tang Li.
Although this woman was dressed as a man, her languid and lazy posture as she slowly moved closer had a different kind of charm. Tang Li secretly looked at her, like an old monk in meditation, indifferent.
Unexpectedly, this woman actually held onto Tang Li's shoulder with one hand, and used the handkerchief to stroke Tang Li's face with the other hand. Tang Li smelled a faint fragrance. He became alert, hurriedly opened his eyes, and retreated.
After confirming that there was no big problem with the fragrance of the handkerchief, he pretended to be frightened. "Miss …"
The woman burst into laughter. "Young master, what are you afraid of? I just saw that you were sweating profusely and that you were meditating, so I wanted to wipe your sweat for you. "
She really gently wiped Tang Li's sweat. Tang Li hurriedly stopped her. "Many … many … many thanks, miss. I can do it myself."
The woman didn't force it. After giving the handkerchief to Tang Li, she retreated to her seat. Tang Li awkwardly wiped his sweat. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a tender and shy little fresh meat. However, his heart was full of disdain. He, Young Master Tang, had never lacked women. This kind of woman who threw herself at him was the most disdainful.
He didn't even care about the handkerchief in his hand. After wiping his sweat twice, he returned it. However, he didn't know that the fragrance of the handkerchief mixed with sweat would become a strong aphrodisiac. In a short time, it would seep into the human body through the skin.
After wiping his sweat, the two returned to silence. They didn't speak for the rest of the journey.
Time passed, and the carriage finally slowly came to a stop.
Tang Li and the woman opened their eyes almost at the same time. They were just pretending to sleep.
"We're here." The woman smiled.
"Many thanks, miss. I'll take my leave now. If fate wills it … see you again."
Tang Li said and got off the carriage. The woman didn't stop him. However, Tang Li felt that something was wrong the moment he got off the carriage. This was the southern foot of Shuangqing Mountain!
If he had followed the road just now, he would have arrived at the northern foot of Shuangqing Mountain!
"You took a turn?" he asked the driver.
"Young Master, if you want to return to Mount Qingyun, you can go up from here."
The driver didn't want to waste words with him. He and the young miss had secretly passed through Yaoshui Commandery and were heading to Fenglin Commandery. Their identities and whereabouts couldn't be exposed. How could they take the main road?
Tang Li increasingly felt that these two people weren't simple, but he couldn't be bothered to care so much. On the other hand, he could reach Long Fei Ye's residence by climbing over the mountain. His father and Aunt Ru definitely wouldn't turn back to look for them.
Seeing the woman get off the carriage, Tang Li smiled and politely bowed. "Many thanks. I'll take my leave now. "
The woman graciously bowed to Tang Li. Her elegance didn't lose out to his.
Just like that, Tang Li went up the mountain while the woman got on the carriage and continued to go around the mountain. However, not long after, the woman jumped off the carriage and secretly followed Tang Li up the mountain.
The sun set in the west and the mountain forest began to darken.
Tang Li was in a good mood. His footsteps were light and light. He shuttled through the mountain forest and even hummed a little tune.
Unexpectedly, a large net suddenly fell from above. Tang Li was shocked, but he didn't struggle. He knew very well that this net wasn't an ordinary net, but a hidden weapon of the Tang Sect.
If he didn't struggle, there was still hope for him to escape. Once he struggled, there was basically no way out.
He didn't panic. His movements were strange. Not long after, he really did escape the large net. However, who knew that there was another net behind the large net.
Before Tang Li could react, a figure suddenly flew out from the side and fiercely knocked Tang Li away.
Tang Li rolled a few times on the ground and finally stopped. It was obvious that the force just now was very strong. He looked carefully and found that the person who saved him was the woman in the carriage.
Didn't this woman leave? Could it be that she was following him?
"Why aren't you leaving? You're being followed. They're people from the Tang Sect. Do they want to kill you? "The woman asked as she pulled Tang Li's arm. She was so strong that she could dislocate his arm.
At this time, several masters emerged from the forest. They were all dressed in black and had no weapons on their faces. However, Tang Li knew that they were hiding the world's most powerful weapons, the Tang Sect's hidden weapons!
Damn it! He had escaped to this place, but he was still caught!
Tang Li knew that his wisest choice was to push this woman out as a shield to buy himself time to escape. These people from the Tang Sect were not here to kill or hurt him. They just wanted to capture him.
If he pushed this woman out, she would at most be injured.
Thinking of this, Tang Li was about to make a move. Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly knocked him away. "Be careful!"
A hidden weapon passed through the two of them!
Tang Li finally changed his mind. He grabbed the woman's hand and said, "Let's go!"
Seeing that there were hidden weapons constantly flying at them from behind, Tang Li simply pulled the woman into his arms and hugged her tightly to protect her. He almost used all his strength to escape and ensure that the woman was unharmed.
When they stopped, the sky was completely dark.
Tang Li found a cave. After letting go of the woman, he leaned against the wall to rest, panting.
In the darkness, the woman looked at his side profile. She was very stunned. She did not expect this immortal-like young master to be so powerful in martial arts. She also did not expect him to have such a masculine side.
The woman was mesmerized. Unlike before, this time, she did not have any plans in her mind. She just looked and smiled.
At this time, Tang Li did not have time to pay attention to the woman because he realized that there was something wrong with his body …
