Chapter 1342: After the Disaster
Shock.
Absolute shock!
Realizing the terrifying truth, the young lady was so frightened that she could not even utter a complete sentence!
Looking into Yi Feng's starry eyes, she felt as if she had encountered an existence far more terrifying than the rumors. Just a single glance made her whole body tremble, her face turning as pale as a sheet of paper!
She had never expected this.
The frail scholar in her eyes was actually such a terrifying entity. Without making a single movement, he had completely stripped her of any power to resist. She could not even stand up.
The Martial Spirit realm was nothing but an ant in front of this man.
This was too terrifying!
This person...
Exactly what realm of existence was he?
Could he be a Martial Emperor?!
Chen Yuxin did not dare to think any further; her head began to buzz.
Just flashing back to the scenes of her own actions and the arrogant words she had spoken earlier, a myriad of regrets surged into her heart like a rushing river.
Those starry eyes.
She no longer dared to look directly at them, lacking the courage even to steal a glance. She sat stiffly in place, her breathing almost coming to a halt!
Seeing the girl completely dumbstruck.
Peace finally returned beneath the old locust tree. Yi Feng paid her no more mind. Just like when they first met, he continued to pour and sip his tea, enjoying his rightful tranquility.
After drinking a few cups of tea.
He packed up the tea set, slowly stood up, and took a leisurely stroll.
The jade-like figure in white drifted away, his indifferent voice echoing behind.
"The children should have arrived at the academy. I am going to teach my class now, so I will not keep you company any longer."
"After this class is over, you may leave."
The leisurely, soft voice struck like a morning bell and an evening drum.
Chen Yuxin seemed to suddenly jolt awake, the panic in her heart smoothed over considerably. Yet, she still could not move, nor could she utter a single word. It was as if she were locked between heaven and earth, her heart shrouded in a layer of lifelong regret.
She sat stiffly for a long time, her eyes full of sluggishness.
About an hour later.
The town mayor, the old clan chief, and a group of guards approached.
Seeing the young lady sitting alone with a cold expression, they thought she was dissatisfied. Fearing they had come at a bad time, the two hesitated for a few breaths before bracing themselves and offering the roster with both hands.
"Reporting to the young lady."
"Here is the conscription roster for our Qinghe Town. They are all able-bodied men of the right age. Please look it over, young lady."
The two waited anxiously for a few breaths, but there was still no sound.
They lowered their heads and exchanged quiet glances, the pressure in their eyes increasing greatly. They could not figure out this young lady's temper at all and did not dare to stand up without permission, so they could only bow and wait quietly.
After waiting for several breaths, there was still no sound.
Suspicion appeared in their eyes. They were truly bitter in their hearts, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out against this young lady's perverse temper.
Seeing this, the guards tactfully stepped forward, bowed, and asked for orders.
"Miss."
"That man from just now, do you need us to capture him and bring him back? Whether he is willing or not, as long as you give the order, miss, we will definitely tie him up and bring him back to Ye City!"
After speaking these flattering words, the guards waited quietly in a bowing posture. After all, they were not outsiders and understood the young lady's thoughts better. Believing their flattery had hit the mark, a faint expectation revealed itself in their eyes.
But after waiting for a long time.
Chen Yuxin still had no reaction.
This time, the guards also exchanged doubtful glances, completely baffled. They thought they somewhat understood the young lady's mind, but now it seemed she was still elusive. The young lady was truly unfathomable.
The crowd waited while maintaining their bows. The scene was very awkward. Everyone wore an expression of utmost awe and did not dare to utter another word.
The stiffly sitting Chen Yuxin was even more anxious.
Her clear eyes were almost filled with coldness.
These pigheads actually had designs on that person?
Was this not going to bring a great disaster to Ye City?!
Just when she was extremely anxious, the faint sound of a bell came from the foot of the distant mountain.
"Dong, dong..."
In an instant, the blood and qi in Chen Yuxin's body circulated again, as if she had returned to the mortal realm!
She suddenly stood up, her face full of shock. She looked down at her limbs, her bewildered pupils trembling incessantly.
Her sudden movement frightened the surrounding people into lowering their bodies even further. Everyone thought that a thunderous rage was about to descend!
The mayor and the old clan chief bowed their heads in salute, their hearts full of apprehension.
Who would have known.
Chen Yuxin did not even say an extra word. With a cold voice, she led the group of guards and hurriedly left. Before they could catch up, the long line of black-armored guards had already marched out of Qinghe Town.
Gazing into the distance at the cavalry kicking up dust as they eagerly departed, the two stood in front of the door with confused faces.
The old clan chief looked back in puzzlement and asked in a low voice.
"Mayor, why did she leave in such a hurry? Could it be that we did something wrong again and offended this young lady?"
The mayor was also full of confusion, pinching the roster in his hand and doubting his life.
"I do not know either..."
"I think our etiquette was comprehensive; we should not have offended her. This young lady truly has a weird temper and is hard to serve. I do not know why, but she did not even ask for the conscription roster. It is as if this matter of joining the army has just been brushed over?"
Hearing this, the old clan chief narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard, pondered, and recalled.
"Hmm..."
"If this old man saw correctly, when that Miss Chen entered her palanquin, a trace of panic seemed to flash in her eyes. Presumably, there might be some major event in Ye City. Aside from a major incident concerning Ye City, this old man really cannot imagine what else could make such a figure lose her composure in nervousness."
Hearing this, the mayor nodded in admiration, a look of realization appearing in his eyes.
"So that is how it is..."
"To my shame, I did not notice such details at all. It is still Brother Wei who is so observant. I am filled with the utmost admiration!"
The two sighed with emotion for a long time.
Watching the dust kicked up by the cavalry dissipate and tranquility return outside the town, they finally breathed a quiet, long sigh of relief.
"No matter what, our Qinghe Town has temporarily escaped a disaster. We were lucky this time, but who knows what will happen next time. Let us just hope that Ye City is safe, and that the commoners in the surrounding area can live and work in peace from now on!"
"This crisis seems to have passed for the time being..."
