"This junior is Fu Qingfeng. Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy just now," Fu Qingfeng said solemnly as he cupped his fists and looked at Ye Xuan.
"Since you know that I've already shown mercy, why don't you leave quickly?" Ye Xuan didn't want to deal with this group of people for the time being. Moreover, if this group of people stayed in the Morality Mountain Village, when the giant corpse came out, they would probably be delivering food to the giant corpse if they stayed here.
"Senior!" Fu Qingfeng's eyes turned, and a determined look flashed across his face. He then looked at Ye Xuan. "We are the descendants of a loyal and good man. I am Fu Qingfeng, and she is my younger sister, Fu Yuechi. The rest of us are all chivalrous people. My father is the former Minister of the Board of Rites, Fu Tianchou. He was framed by the traitors of the Court and is now being escorted to the capital to be executed. We want to rescue my father on the way.
"Elder Sister (Miss Qingfeng) …" Fu Yuechi and the others were astonished when they heard Fu Qingfeng reveal their objective to this stranger.
"Everyone, I don't think this senior is a bad person. Otherwise, with the martial arts that he displayed just now, it would be very easy for him to kill us. This time, in order to escort my father to the capital, the Court has sent out a large number of lackeys. It will be very difficult for us to rescue my father from those lackeys. However, if we have the help of this highly skilled senior, we will have a greater chance of success. " Fu Qingfeng turned his head around and explained to the people next to him. Then he suddenly knelt down on one knee at Ye Xuan and begged, "Sir, please help us save my father, for the sake of the people in the world he has always been responsible for!"
"Senior, please help us save my father on the account that he has always been responsible for the common people." After hearing Fu Qingfeng's explanation, Fu Yuechi and the others immediately turned around and knelt in front of Ye Xuan.
"All of you, get up!" Ye Xuan waved his right hand when he saw these people kneeling in front of him. These people immediately felt an irresistible force acting on their bodies, and they could not help but slowly stand up.
When Fu Qingfeng and the others saw this scene, they were even more shocked. He was even more certain that Ye Xuan's martial arts were powerful and mysterious. They stood up from the ground and said happily, "Thank you, Senior, for helping us!"
"Hehe, when did I say that I would help you?" Ye Xuan shook his head and said with a faint smile.
"What? Senior, this is …?" Fu Qingfeng was stunned when he heard Ye Xuan's words.
"I never said that I would help you," Ye Xuan said calmly, unmoved by their words. "However, seeing that you are the descendants of loyal people, I can give you a reminder. There is a Ten Kilometers Pavilion nearby, and the soldiers escorting your father may pass by there tomorrow."
"This …" Fu Qingfeng and the others hesitated when they heard Ye Xuan's words. After all, they did not know if they should believe Ye Xuan's words. However, when they saw that Ye Xuan was refusing to help them, they felt helpless and could only cup their fists and say. "Thank you, Senior, for your reminder. I can't thank you enough."
Ye Xuan nodded but did not say anything else. Instead, he closed his eyes again.
Since he had encountered Fu Qingfeng and the others here, according to the original plot, Kṣitigarbha might arrive in a day or two. He had to make the best use of his time to recover his Vital Essence. Only then would he have more confidence in dealing with Kṣitigarbha.
Seeing that Ye Xuan had closed his eyes again, Fu Qingfeng and the others understood what Ye Xuan meant. Their lips moved a few times, and in the end, they cupped their fists helplessly. "Thank you, Senior. I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye! "
After saying that, they saw that Ye Xuan had no intention of saying anything else. Fu Qingfeng and the others could only look at each other helplessly, then left.
"Elder Sister, that person just said that Father will be escorted to the nearby Shili Pavilion. Should we believe him?" Fu Yuechi asked Fu Qingfeng after they had gone far away.
"Miss Qingfeng, this person's background is unknown, and he can't tell friend from foe. I'm afraid his words can't be trusted!" A burly man at the side reminded her.
"Thank you, Big Brother Meng, for your reminder. However, although this person's background is mysterious, his martial arts are very powerful. I don't think there's any need for him to lie to us. Just in case, we can contact our spies outside to investigate the Shili Pavilion that this person mentioned and the route that the soldiers will take to escort my father. We'll talk about it later. What do you think, Big Brothers?" Fu Qingfeng pondered for a moment before suggesting.
"Miss Qingfeng, you've thought it through. We have no objections!" After hearing Fu Qingfeng's suggestion, everyone thought about it and felt that it was safer. They nodded in agreement.
"Very well. Since no one has any objections, I'll have to trouble Big Brother Li to contact the spies," Fu Qingfeng said.
"Don't worry, Miss Qingfeng!" The burly man called Big Brother Li nodded. Then, he leaped toward the periphery of the villa.
"Alright, let's go. We'll go back and discuss today's matter." Seeing the burly man with the surname Li leave, Fu Qingfeng turned around and spoke to the people around her. Then, she used her Qinggong and leaped, preparing to return to their temporary residence.
"Ghost! — — "
At that moment, a shrill scream rang out from the forest beside them. A scholarly man was fleeing into the distance in a panic like a headless fly.
"What the hell?" Seeing the scholarly man's appearance, everyone could not help but be stunned. They looked around warily.
"There's no ghost. That person must have been frightened by us." Fu Qingfeng glanced at them. The few of them were wearing white clothes that were used to disguise themselves as ghosts. In addition, they were so focused on rushing back to their residence that they looked like ghosts from afar.
"Alright, let's go. Don't bother with him!" Looking at the frantic scholar, Fu Qingfeng shook her head and turned around, intending to go back.
"Ghost? Where's the ghost? " Just as the scholar was frantically crawling, a man with a Daoist bun suddenly ran out from the side, grabbed the scholar, and shouted.
"There … there …" The scholar gasped for breath.
Swoosh!
Once the scholar finished speaking, the Daoist man leaped all the way up a tree. Then, he saw Fu Qingfeng and the others who were about to leave.
"How dare you! How dare you come out into the wilderness to harm people! I'll deal with you!" The Daoist man took a cursory look and also thought that he had seen a ghost. With a loud shout, he patted the cloth bag on his body and several talismans flew out. "Heaven and Earth Spirit, Ghost Exorcism Token, Imperial Decree!"
As he chanted the incantation, the talismans turned into several beams of golden light and shot rapidly in the direction of Fu Qingfeng and the others.
