Chapter 1624: Following
Chapter 1624: Chapter 1624: Following
Qi Hao took the contract of indenture, gave Silver, and only then did these people leave.
Dayan knelt on the street before him and kowtowed, "Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor."
Qi Hao dodged and quickly left, feeling that a girl like this was quite pitiful. He had Silver in hand, and helping her was just helping.
After kowtowing, Dayan got up to find that the benefactor was nowhere to be seen. She chased forward but did not find him.
The little girl hurriedly returned home.
Qi Hao’s Divine Sense continuously followed her. This little girl was quite intelligent. She returned home, packed her things, and left in haste.
Now Qi Hao was curious; where could such a young child go? Unexpectedly, she went to the County Magistrate’s residence. She found a female Steward there and directly signed the contract of indenture, selling herself to this place to become a little maid.
This was also quite good, at least clean and decent. Chunhua House was a place that indeed ruined young women.
Returning to his lodging, the disciples were all there; the Sect Leader had ordered them not to go out.
At this time, he had not yet returned. Qi Hao called for the waiter to arrange food for them.
This was a pursuit of fame and fortune, disregarding one’s disciples. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with it; it’s a personal ambition.
It was only until the afternoon that the four of them returned.
Seeing the smiles on their faces, it was clear they had obtained what they wanted.
"Brother Tan, the three of us can follow the lord on the patrol. What about you? The lord specifically asked about you."
Qi Hao thought for a moment; anyhow, he had nothing to do, so tagging along to see was fine.
"I don’t mind; I can go anywhere."
He now understood that everyone has the desire to be wealthy and governmental.
Master Zhai heard from the disciples that Qi Hao had arranged food, wanting to give Silver, and Qi Hao did not refuse.
"Four heroes, we are leaving here. If you pass through in the future, feel free to call upon me if needed," said Master Zhai.
After exchanging pleasantries, Master Zhai led the disciples away, leaving only the four of them.
"Brother Tan, let’s go tomorrow night."
"Alright."
Qi Hao really didn’t know where to go, but following this lord might broaden his horizons.
In the county government, two people were close together.
"How is your wife so obedient?"
Chen Yunsheng laughed, "What could she possibly be disobedient about?"
"Yunsheng, why hasn’t she given you a child yet? Are you not considering taking a concubine?"
Chen Yunsheng shook his head, "I’ve spent more time with you than her; you haven’t given me one either."
Actually, he did not want children now. He felt his life was ruined by these two women.
He had grown up together with the woman in his arms; she was the daughter of his teacher. But out of poverty, he eventually chose a merchant’s daughter.
Unexpectedly, Jiaojiao was so capable. She managed to become a Champion Scholar and now held significant influence in the temple.
Jiaojiao was no longer the affectionate little girl she used to be; she had fully adapted outside, changing several men around her, maintaining relationships with several continuously.
He suffered, but she smiled and made him accompany her. Looking at the completely unfamiliar woman, Chen Yunsheng regretted it.
But now, it’s too late for regret. It’s the Yue Family that supports him, his wife hasn’t done anything wrong, what should he do?
The matter between the two was discovered by his wife; she caused a scene. He had no choice but to come to this small county town, partly to avoid Jiaojiao.
She now seemed so unfamiliar and hateful to him.
The woman laughed, "Heh heh, there’s no need to say useless things with me. I’m clear about the situation. It doesn’t matter, I won’t come to bother you in the future.
Also, do you want me to give you a child? Chen Yunsheng, do you think you’re worthy?"
Chen Yunsheng painfully looked at the woman in his arms, placed his hand on her belly, "Jiaojiao."
"Take care of yourself; it’s quite leisurely here."
Although the two quarreled, they still carried on with their tasks.
Chen Yunsheng was alone in the library late at night, furrowing his brow. He still wanted to advance further. Why did she say he seemed leisurely here?
Could he really remain in such a small place? Unsatisfied, how could he be satisfied? Now, he is merely lying low.
If this woman posed a threat to him, she shouldn’t blame him for being ruthless. No one can stand in his way of advancement.
The next day, the four of them came over, following the Imperial Envoy as they departed.
Qi Hao drove his carriage following behind. Actually, it was quite leisurely, though at such a grand scale, they likely wouldn’t discover anything, would they?
Perhaps they already knew where they were going and what they needed to solve? Anyway, just following was alright.
Jiang Liangcheng and the other three rode by the Imperial Envoy’s side, the protective intent quite apparent.
Qi Hao found it quite interesting; this woman’s private life seemed quite indulgent, but sitting there, she really gave off a stately feeling. It was an absolute separation of work and private life. Such people truly know how to enjoy life, right?
Moreover, observing how she interacts with those around her, it’s impossible to tell she was ever so wanton.
In the evening, even while camping, she lay in the carriage without appearing pretentious.
They continued this way for three days before entering a small village.
Qi Hao furrowed his brow; the place was filled with Yin Qi, how could such a thing exist in the Mortal World?
His Divine Sense swiftly searched, discovering a Demon in a cemetery.
Last time he followed Mother to Bai Ai Realm, finding the Demon there in a cemetery too?
It’s a Demon, not a ghost; why is it in a cemetery? And why is there so much Yin Qi?
Perhaps sensing him, it actually hid, reducing the Yin Qi somewhat.
Is the Yin Qi something they release? That’s truly novel.
This situation here is quite unique, and Qi Hao’s interest was piqued.
The village chief, knowing the Imperial Envoy arrived, quickly came out to welcome them.
Qi Hao observed the people in the village were not very healthy. Naturally, living in such Yin Qi filled areas means the inherent yang energy is insufficient to resist the Yin Qi.
Possibly, the women might fare better; the women were all working in the fields while the men stayed at home here.
In this era, this would be considered quite atypical. After all, in ancient times, even in the Cultivation World, men were superior to women.
The group was accommodated at the village chief’s house, the best building available. Too many people made it impossible, so Qi Hao did not enter. He wanted to see the Demon.
Fate had truly favored him. Imagining it filled him with excitement.
Qi Hao now missed life in the Cultivation World.
No matter what, he would leave after three months, finding a place to Cultivate for a while.
The leader arranged for people to go to the village’s threshing ground for accommodation.
Jiang Liangcheng and the other three didn’t come over, but Qi Hao did.
The carriage was placed aside, while he led the horse to be fed.
