The desolate Gobi desert is filled with wind and sand.
Xiao Lie, Mrs. Xiao, and Xiao Wanrou fled on horseback for a day and a night.
"Ms. sir, stop and take a rest." Mrs. Xiao, who was sitting on the horse, was panting, with a look of complaint on her face.
How could a woman like her with little martial arts training endure sitting on a bumpy horseback for a day and a night?
On the contrary, Xiao Wanrou, who was even more delicate, did not complain at all even though she was extremely tired and in pain.
"Madam, please hold on for a while longer. Don't let the efforts of those brothers go to waste." Xiao Lie said in a deep voice.
Those guards stayed behind to fight the blood barbarians to protect them.
If they were caught up by the blood barbarians again because they were resting, wouldn't it be a failure of those loyal guards?
"But I can't stand it anymore. Can you find a carriage?" Mrs. Xiao rubbed her sore butt and complained.
Riding a horse is not as comfortable as riding a carriage.
"Madam, stop talking nonsense. We are running for our lives now. Where can we find a carriage for you?" Xiao Lie looked helpless.
It was he who had accustomed Mrs. Xiao to be like this.
"Damn it, the carriage is gone and the guard is dead, all because of that young man. If we hadn't taken him with us, how could we have been slower, let alone be caught up by the blood barbarian."
With nowhere to vent her resentment, Mrs. Xiao directly placed all the blame on Ye Guchen.
"Madam, what you said is going too far." Xiao Lie frowned.
"Mom, what are you talking about? If it hadn't been for the young master's rescue, Wanrou would have died." Xiao Wanrou also frowned, feeling sorry for Ye Guchen.
"Humph, he saved you because he felt guilty for dragging us down. Wanrou, if you don't want others to treat you a little better, just turn your elbows outward." Seeing that Xiao Lie and Xiao Wanrou were both standing for Ye Guchen.
When speaking, Mrs. Xiao had a straight face and her tone was a little cold.
"Okay, stop talking and continue on your way." Xiao Lie waved his hand, not wanting to say anything more.
But at this moment, the sound of breaking wind came from the distance, and a figure flashed over quickly.
"Damn it, are the Blood Barbarians catching up with them?" Xiao Lie's face suddenly looked shocked.
"Ah, sir, let's run!" Mrs. Xiao, who just said she wanted to take a rest, suddenly changed her face and looked frightened, making her more panicked than anyone else.
"Brother Xiao, it's me."
The figure settled down, wearing a mysterious robe and a bamboo hat on his head, it was Ye Guchen.
"Little brother, you..." Xiao Lie opened his mouth slightly when he saw it was Ye Guchen, a little surprised.
He never imagined that Ye Guchen would escape from the blood barbarian totem warriors.
"It's you, you're not dead?" Mrs. Xiao, who looked panicked, also suppressed her shock, but then there was a strong look of doubt in her eyes.
"Sir, it's great that you're okay." Xiao Wanrou saw that Ye Guchen was safe and sound, and the guilt in her heart eased a little, and she smiled.
"It's okay, little brother, the guards of my Xiao family..." Xiao Lie hesitated before speaking.
He thought that since Ye Guchen could escape, the guards should also be able to escape.
"They are all dead." Ye Guchen said truthfully.
"Ahem...is that so?" Xiao Lie had a look of disappointment on his face when he heard this.
Although I had expected it, I was still disappointed.
However, after hearing Ye Guchen's words, the doubt in Mrs. Xiao's eyes became even stronger. She suddenly said: "Maybe after we left, you just left the guards behind and escaped alone."
"Huh?" Ye Guchen frowned slightly.
He killed all the blood barbarian pursuers including Wu Sang, but in the eyes of Mrs. Xiao, he became a deserter.
"Madam, this little brother is not like that." Xiao Lie said hurriedly.
When Ye Guchen casually threw out the best treasure pill before, Xiao Lie felt that Ye Guchen was a little extraordinary, so he didn't doubt Ye Guchen, but was a little surprised.
But Mrs. Xiao didn't think so.
She raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth and said: "Mr. sir, don't go after this person. The strength of those guards is not low. They are all dead, but this young man escaped alive. This is so strange. Maybe this young man has been killed."
Those blood barbarians bought it."
There was a hint of hostility in Mrs. Xiao's eyes.
Mrs. Xiao didn't have a good impression of Ye Guchen.
Now that Ye Guchen escaped alone, Mrs. Xiao was even more suspicious of him.
"Madam, don't say this nonsense." Xiao Lie scolded her in a rare way.
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Xiao Wanrou was also a little angry.
Ye Guchen's eyes darkened slightly.
"Why, I'm speechless. Then tell me, how did you escape?" Mrs. Xiao put her hands on her waist and stared at Ye Guchen.
"I didn't escape, I killed all those blood barbarians." Ye Guchen said in an indifferent tone.
When Xiao Lie heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly.
He knew that it was not that simple to kill that group of blood barbarians, and there were even powerful totem warriors among them.
After Xiao Wanrou heard this, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Guchen with even more curiosity.
But Mrs. Xiao, on the contrary, seemed to have heard some funny joke and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, you, a young man, killed a group of blood barbarians. Who do you think you are, Sword Sect Ye Guchen? If you want to attract the attention of my family Wanrou, you can't say such ridiculous big words." Mrs. Xiao's eyes
With disdain.
She believed that Ye Guchen lied because he fell in love with Xiao Wanrou and wanted to attract Xiao Wanrou's attention and admiration.
"In that case, I'll take my leave." Ye Guchen said coldly.
With his character, he doesn't even bother to argue with women and Taoists.
Since Mrs. Xiao has doubts, then Ye Guchen should leave.
Although because of the relationship between Xiao Lie and Xiao Wanrou, Ye Guchen didn't mind escorting them all the way to Beiliang City.
But since others have questioned this, Ye Guchen doesn't need to help anymore.
The worst case scenario is to find someone else to find out the route to Beiliang City.
"Little brother, wait a minute, my wife is ignorant, please don't mind me!"
Seeing that Ye Guchen seemed to be leaving, Xiao Lie hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Mrs. Xiao didn't know what was going on, but Xiao Lie knew it well. He guessed that Ye Guchen's origin was not that simple, and he might also be an outstanding disciple of a big family.
Xiao Lie could not afford to offend such a person.
"Master, Wanrou apologizes to you on behalf of my mother." Xiao Wanrou also bowed to Ye Guchen.
"You... why are you all turning towards this outsider? As long as we can escape to Beiliang City, we will be members of the Shentu family. You are lowering your status by doing this!" Seeing his daughter and husband turning towards Ye Guchen, Xiao
The lady gritted her teeth, her face turning blue and white.
"Shut up!" Xiao Lie shouted coldly, feeling dignified for the first time.
"Xiao Lie, you..." Mrs. Xiao's face was ashen, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just gave Ye Guchen an angry look.
Although Ye Guchen is quite disgusted with Mrs. Xiao, he still has a good impression of Xiao Lie and Xiao Wanrou.
