Ao Xiaoji always sat quietly and listened to their conversation.
Seeing Ye Wu also starting to practice, Long Ya's eyes shifted to Ao Xiaoji.
"Your name is Ao Xiaoji, right?" Long Ya said.
Ao Xiaoji nodded quietly.
"It's a pretty cute name." Long Ya said.
She glanced at Ao Xiaoji's thin body, feeling a little suspicious in her heart.
This young man looked shy and quiet. He really didn't look like a boy, but more like a girl.
What's more, she herself had disguised herself as a man, so she was really unsure of Ao Xiaoji's gender, and he looked too feminine.
Ao Xiaoji smiled and said: "It's the wish of my parents. Xiaoji is a medicinal herb with strong vitality, and it also symbolizes the strengthening of blood."
Long Ya suddenly nodded and didn't say anything more, but she believed her guesses even more.
By the time Ye Wu finished practicing, it was already dark.
They started on their way again.
There was no danger at all. Long Ya thought of Shuang Qin, but she remembered that Shuang Qin was Ye Wu's wife.
She then asked: "Ye Wu, that Shuangqin...is it really your wife?"
Ye Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, she is my wife."
He won't say anything now, such as, although she is my wife, she is not my wife.
No matter what, Shuangqin is already his wife, and he should give her the respect she deserves.
He is somewhat familiar with the affairs of men and women, and he also knows what responsibilities are. He abandoned his wife on their wedding night. If this kind of thing spreads, Shuangqin will not know how much criticism he will have to endure.
At least in the fantasy, he had seen something similar when he was wandering. The husband left home on the wedding night, and the woman was forced to commit suicide by rumors.
Monks may not have to be like this, but as long as they are human, they have long mouths.
Moreover, Shuangqin risked her life to protect herself, so she cannot live up to this kindness.
"Before you... I mean, I didn't hear my brother mention that you had a wife, and you're not very old either." Long Ya said pretending to be nonchalant.
"Well, it was arranged by the family. I'm very sorry for her. I didn't tell anyone much." Ye Wudao.
Long Ya glanced at him and said, "Then you like her?"
"...I don't know, but since she is my wife, I will take care of her unless we divorce."
Ye Wu's words made Long Ya feel angry for no reason.
In fact, she could also guess that Ye Wu's wife probably had no feelings for him, but they were still a couple, and it was really disgusting for her to put such thoughts into that.
Long Ya was in a bad mood and didn't say much. Ye Wu didn't pay much attention to it and just hurried on his way.
After they came out of Shiwan Barren Mountain, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where to go next?" Ye Wu asked.
Long Ya finally cheered up, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's go to the Liushuang Dynasty? It's close to the sea, and there is only one sect. Moreover, the Liushuang Dynasty is very chaotic, and the court is not stable. Not many people will pay attention to us.
"
"In addition, something happened to the demon clan now, and the only prince who can resist is sent to suppress the demon clan. That is our best choice."
Long Ya also considered it from Ye Wu's point of view. He was a member of the Demon Cult and was somewhat incompatible with the court and the sect.
Ye Wu nodded in agreement, turned to Ao Xiaoji and said, "Then let's go to Liushuang and show you the outside."
Ao Xiaoji was obviously eager to give it a try, and said, "Okay, I rarely go out."
When Long Ya heard this, she felt that Ao Xiaoji was a young lady in a boudoir.
Although the three of them have decided to go to Liushuang, they are still within the scope of the Karma Fire. In order to avoid being discovered, the three of them have made some disguises.
Long Ya put on an ordinary undershirt with a curtain. Ye Wu changed into gray clothes and painted his face yellow with the grass juice that Long Ya found. He looked ordinary and very different from before.
Ao Xiaoji doesn't need to change, he doesn't attract much attention in front of others.
Then they moved on.
On the outskirts of a small town away from the Yehuo Dynasty, someone's cry for help came to my ears.
The three of them looked at each other and Ye Wu decided to take a look.
As I got closer, I realized it was a group of bandits who were killing people.
One of the robbers stabbed a woman with a long knife in his hand. The woman was holding a child in her arms and her back was turned to the robbers.
If this knife were to go down, I am afraid that both the woman and the child would be stabbed through.
"Madam!" A middle-aged man opened his eyes wide and wanted to come forward, but was stabbed by a bandit.
Ye Wu's face darkened, he flew forward, kicked the bandits away, saved the mother and son, and then slashed at the bandits with his sword.
Although the strength of these bandits was good, they were not good enough under Ye Wu's current Nascent Soul cultivation level. They fled immediately and died.
Everyone in the saved chamber of commerce cried with joy.
The child in the arms of the rescued woman couldn't help crying. His father dragged his injuries forward and looked at his wife and children nervously.
"Qiu Lang!" The woman also had tears in her eyes, looking at her husband's injuries with worry and fear.
Ye Wu fired a burst of spiritual power to help him stop the bleeding.
The man immediately raised his head and bowed to him repeatedly.
"Thank you to this knight for saving me!"
Everyone else around also thanked him one after another.
"I am Qiu Cheng'en, the owner of Ruixue Chamber of Commerce. Do you know the name of this knight?" The man said again, his eyes full of earnestness. "When Qiu returns, I will set up a monument to the knight's immortality."
Ye Wuwenyan said quickly: "No need, it's just a minor matter. You should deal with the injuries first."
Long Ya and Ao Xiaoji also came over. Long Ya glanced at them and had some thoughts in her heart.
"Ye Wu, let's hurry on. We need to find a place for the young master to stay, otherwise the carriage has broken down and we can't keep doing this." Long Ya said.
Ye Wu looked at her, then at Ao Xiaoji, a sudden realization flashed in his eyes, and then he automatically raised his hands to Ao Xiaoji and stood behind Ao Xiaoji.
He said in a dignified manner: "My young master asked me to save people. You just need to thank my young master."
Long Ya didn't expect Ye Wu to be so good at Taoism now. I'm afraid he encountered a lot of things during the time they were apart, right?
When Qiu Chengen heard this, he naturally bowed to Ao Xiaoji, who was dressed in extraordinary clothes.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. From what this girl says, sir, the carriage is broken down?"
Although Ao Xiaoji looked shy, he still cooperated very well and nodded, showing the dignity of a rich man.
Long Ya said: "That's exactly the case, so we won't stay any longer and say goodbye."
"You guys stay here!" Qiu Chengen said quickly.
"Several benefactors saved us. If you don't mind them, my Chamber of Commerce can actually give them a ride, but I don't know where they are going?"
Long Ya glanced at Ao Xiaoji, pretending to hesitate and said: "We are going to Liushuang."
Qiu Chengen was immediately overjoyed and said: "Me and others are the same. We are going to Tianlong Emperor via the Karma Fire Sutra, and then to Liushuang Imperial City. If a few of you don't mind the trouble, my small chamber of commerce can bring a few of us along."
