Ling Xuewei turned her back to Xuezhi and did not speak or refute.
"Xue Zhi does have selfish motives when she says this... but she is also thinking about the girl."
As Xuezhi spoke, she knelt on the ground and didn't move for a long time.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
Xuezhi cut off her words and could only grit her teeth and stand up.
Soon, Aunt Zhen pushed open the door and entered.
"Girl, I asked the kitchen to make ginseng soup. You can drink it while it's hot."
"Leave it there."
Ling Xuewei didn't look back, Xuezhi stepped forward with a wink, "Mom, let me do it."
Mammy glanced at her with cold and sharp eyes. Xuezhi was so excited that she stepped aside.
"The girl's body is still very weak. This ginseng soup contains a lot of precious medicinal herbs that can replenish the body. The old slave watched it personally and took two hours to finish it. If it gets cold, the effect of the medicine will be lost, so the girl should drink it while it's hot.
"
Aunt Zhen's words were humble, but her tone was strong.
Ling Xuewei turned around, and the nanny brought the ginseng soup and handed it to her.
Behind her, Xuezhi looked anxious and shook her head repeatedly.
Apparently she was told to refuse to drink the soup.
Ling Xuewei's eyes stayed on the ginseng soup for a moment, and then she immediately looked at Grandma Zhen.
Soon she reached out to take the soup bowl and drank it.
"girl!"
Xuezhi exclaimed, she didn't expect Ling Xuewei would actually drink that soup!
Ling Xuewei finished the drink in one gulp and put the empty bowl back into Nanny Zhen's hand, "Is that okay?"
Auntie was sure that she had really drank. A dark light flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Girl, it's time to get tired. Let's rest early. I'll take my leave first."
Soon Grandma Zhen turned and left.
"Girl, why did you really drink it? Aren't you afraid that she might do something in the ginseng soup?" Xuezhi looked anxious, "I heard that Grandma Zhen is good at preparing medicine. What if she added some medicine to the ginseng soup?
That thing..."
"It's okay, you can go down."
Ling Xuewei didn't seem to care.
Xuezhi paused, and finally had no choice but to retreat.
Ling Xuewei turned around and looked out the window. What she saw was a cloud of mist, as if she could reach it at her fingertips.
The sky was covered with thick cumulus clouds, and there was basically no sunlight.
She wiped the corners of her lips. How could she not tell if there was any poison in the ginseng soup?
Even if some people wanted to attack her, they wouldn't be so blatant.
Ling Xuewei drank the ginseng soup to calm some people's hearts and appear to be easy to handle. She only hoped that they would be more honest along the way.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
…
"Is she so obedient?"
Here, Mrs. Shen's eyes flashed as she listened to Grandma Zhen's report.
"Yes, it seems that she is still very afraid of Madam."
"Don't be deceived by appearances. I have seen too many people who work against each other. She... is not as simple as she appears."
Can someone come out of such a dangerous Starfall Forest alive? How can he be considered an ordinary person?
What's more, the feeling that woman gave her... was not simple, it was different from other women.
"Keep staring at her. Don't act so quickly. It's best to get more information from her."
Mrs. Shen rubbed the Dankou on her nails, and the old woman's eyes flashed slightly, "Madam, do you doubt her?"
"Hmph, I will not be deceived by her. Think about it, she said she is from the Eastern Region, but with her appearance, how can she be an unknown person? We shouldn't not have half of her information. Even if she said so
Is it true? What happened to the golden light in the Starfall Forest? She appeared right after the golden light disappeared. Does the golden light really have nothing to do with her? Hum, amnesia? How can there be such a coincidence in this world?!"
"But the old slave has checked and found that there is indeed no spiritual power fluctuation in her body."
"Perhaps I took some medicine in advance to suppress it? There are many miraculous medicines in this world. Some mysterious magic weapons with special properties may be able to suppress cultivation. This is not impossible."
As the only daughter of the head of the Wanjiu Sect, Shen had some experience in traveling around the country a few years ago.
"That's what the lady said."
"Go back and keep an eye on her. If you find anything, tell me immediately."
"yes."
…
For three days in a row, everything went smoothly on the road.
During this period, they encountered a bird attack, but they were quickly dealt with by the guards led by Gu Hao.
Except for Ling Xuewei occasionally going out to get some fresh air, Ling Xuewei basically stayed indoors the rest of the time.
Gu Hao would come to her room to see her every day, and without exception, whenever he came, Mrs. Shen would be there.
He came with different excuses every time, either he had arrived early, or he wanted to bring her some food... Gu Hao was a little dissatisfied at first, but later, seeing that Shen had arranged everything meticulously, he didn't care.
Well, nothing more to say.
Ling Xuewei was naturally happy that Shen's arrival was better than being alone with Gu Hao, and it saved her a lot of embarrassment.
The three of them sat around the table, and she didn't need to say anything, because Shen would take the lead. What she said was nothing more than some household matters, occasionally mixed with some current affairs or alliance matters.
Of course, Mrs. Shen would also make some insinuations about Ling Xuewei, but she would expose them all in a few words.
With Gu Hao here, Shen did not dare to ask too many questions, and three days passed quickly.
On this day, they landed on the ground and planned to find a nearby town to rest for the day.
After all, they have been traveling for the past three days and they also need to rest.
This place is Yuzhou, located in the southeast, more than 10,000 kilometers away from the Eastern Region. The nearest town is called Sanyuan City, which was a third-tier small town before the Disaster Era.
They got off the spaceship, changed into carriages, and entered the city.
I found a good inn and stayed in it.
Ling Xuewei had a separate private room at the far end of the third floor. After taking a bath, she changed her clothes and opened the door.
"Night girl wants to go out?"
"Well, just take a walk."
There were two guards guarding the outside. They looked at each other and said, "Allow me to inform the sect master. Girl, I'll wait a moment."
One of the guards left, and soon she saw Gu Hao walking over from a distance.
"You want to go out?"
"Well, I've been sitting in the house for a long time these days, and I want to go out for a walk."
"I happen to have nothing to do, why don't I accompany you?"
Ling Xuewei glanced at him and said, "The ancient sect leader can do whatever he wants."
Watching her walking downstairs, he smiled and followed her immediately.
There are not many people on the street and it is not very lively.
Most of the people walking on the street are casual cultivators or corpse hunters. The town is a bit desolate. They are in a hurry and there is basically no leisurely leisure time for shopping.
After the Disaster Era, there were countless towns that suffered heavy losses like this. This place was also invaded by ghouls in the past. Although humans have regained their homeland now, the prosperity and liveliness of the past have long been gone.
Most of the people here are travelers passing by, so the most popular ones in the city are inns and restaurants.
To put it bluntly, there is not much to see.
Ling Xuewei walked slowly and slowly, and Gu Hao beside her didn't say anything. He protected her along the way. There were four guards behind them.
