Chapter 125 Is She the Goddess of Bad Luck?
Xuanji used magic to wake up Ziyun. Before Ziyun could say anything, he spoke first, "Is your master alive?"
When Ziyun heard this, he became like a dog with its fur standing on end.
Suddenly, a light purple light appeared in front of Xuanji, and Ziyun, who was wearing a dark purple robe, slowly walked out from inside. He stared at him without blinking, and said angrily, "Xuanji, you have never changed your stinky mouth."
After saying this, he quickly disappeared.
When Xuanji saw him show up for the first time, he had a rough idea of Ice Face's condition, but it didn't stop him from joking.
"Hey, aren't you afraid that your appearance this time will attract the attention of those people in the heavens?"
"Tsk, this isn't my real body, you're talking as if you're not from heaven."
Ziyun returned to Xue Zhiyu's consciousness and retorted bluntly.
"It's really boring. It's no fun to be with Ice Face for too long. Forget it, let me ask you something."
"what's up?"
"Do you have any impression of Mu Xingchen? He gives me a very familiar feeling."
"I have no impression. What's wrong?" Ziyun thought about it and had no impression of this name at all.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway. Also, I'm a little curious about who the man that Ice Face arranged is and why he appears in every life."
"How should I know? Why do you have so many questions today? Are you in your restless period?"
"Go away, you are in your restless period. I won't talk to you anymore. You should just stay with her well."
Xuanji took one last deep look at Xue Zhiyu, then turned around and disappeared, as if he had never been there.
Three days later, Mingzhi came to pick her up as promised. He stood in front of the carriage, waved to the visitor, and said with a smile, "Good morning, Princess."
Xue Zhiyu walked over slowly carrying a bag and greeted him. She glanced at Mu Xingchen in the carriage, who nodded at her and then looked away.
After Xue Zhiyu got on the car, she smelled the faint medicinal fragrance in the car and felt an indescribable comfort in her heart, which soothed her inner irritability very well.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Go to Yuzhou Country. The people from the Mo family are also there. You can go and broaden your horizons. You may also have a chance to meet Tianzhixiang this time."
It had been a long time since Xue Zhiyu heard Mu Xingchen say so much in one breath. At the same time, she kept looking for information about this country in her mind. Except for the other three countries, she seemed to have not heard much about Yuzhou Country.
Mu Xingchen could see her confusion and patiently explained: "Although Yuzhou is not one of the three major countries, it is still an existence that cannot be ignored. Yuzhou's powerful control skills make people dare not underestimate it until now."
Mingzhi added, "This control technique is very strange. Princess, just don't get close to the royal family. Ordinary people don't have this ability."
After Xue Zhiyu heard what they said, she felt that this trip seemed more and more dangerous, and she couldn't help swallowing.
Don't be afraid, she has Xiaoqi to protect her, so nothing should happen to her, right?
"Don't worry, I'm your senior brother here, and the royal family doesn't usually come out, so you don't have to worry too much."
"I hope so, but what are we going to do there?"
"Let's join in the fun. Tianzhixiang is, after all, a rare and superior medicinal herb. The people of the Mo family should also want to compete for the qualification to purchase it."
"Master, don't you need it?"
Mingzhi shrugged and said proudly, "Master doesn't lack this kind of medicinal material."
Xue Zhiyu glanced at Mu Xingchen, who looked calm and relaxed, and became even more curious about her master's medicine storehouse.
I'll see if I can pick some medicinal herbs when I get a chance.
Soon, the three of them hurriedly entered the main city of Yuzhou Kingdom.
Because Yuzhou Country is not far from the Western Regions, you can see a few people with Western faces on the streets, and hear various languages that are difficult to understand.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a mansion. The stone lions on both sides were solemn and majestic, and the words on the plaque were even more magnificent.
"Mr. Mu is here. I've been waiting for you."
A middle-aged man in brown robes quickly walked to the side of the carriage and spoke to Mu Xingchen. The fat on his face was puffed up by his smile, making him look honest and loyal.
Then he nodded to Mingzhi as a greeting. When he saw Xue Zhiyu, he showed some confusion on his face. Then he suddenly remembered something, glanced up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "So you are Mr. Mu's new disciple. Not bad, not bad. You look very talented."
After Mu Xingchen got off the carriage, Mingzhi and Xue Zhiyu also got off one after another.
Xue Zhiyu also smiled and nodded at him, saying modestly, "You're too kind."
"You must have been exhausted from the journey. Come into the mansion and have a rest. I have asked the servants to prepare a meal."
"sorry to bother you."
The middle-aged man was already accustomed to Mu Xingchen's cold words, and he kept talking beside him, and Mu Xingchen only responded occasionally.
Xue Zhiyu saw the sharp contrast between the two people behind her and couldn't help but turn around and whisper to Mingzhi, "How did the two of them know each other? I thought Master's friends were also quiet, but this gentleman is too enthusiastic."
"This gentleman has a pretty good relationship with Master, but I'm not sure how they know each other."
"......I'm just listening to you. Forget it. Just tell me what we are going to do."
Mingzhi felt a little aggrieved. How could he be blamed? After all, when he arrived, his master and this adult already knew each other.
"Master actually doesn't need to show up tomorrow. He just needs to watch. After all, this master is responsible for the safekeeping of the Tianzhi incense. This time it will be held in Yuejiang Tower. Many doctors or medical families will send people to participate. But the Tianzhi incense is secondary. The title of Xinglin Shengshou is what they want most."
Xue Zhiyu frowned. Isn't this equivalent to the title of the so-called miraculous doctor in the modern world? Indeed, there will be more patients coming for this title. After all, the reputation is there. This also explains why this title is the most desired.
Mingzhi saw that she was thoughtful and thought that she still didn't understand, so he talked a lot more.
".....It won't start until the morning of tomorrow. How about we go out for a walk tonight?"
Xue Zhiyu didn't say anything, but quietly made a gesture of approval with her hand under her sleeve.
Mingzhi gradually accepted her strange way of doing things. He naturally knew that she meant that there was no problem, and he grinned so hard that his teeth were showing.
Several people sat down in the hall. Various delicacies were already placed on the table. The middle-aged man suddenly looked at Xue Zhiyu and said with a smile, "I heard that the Baiweijia in Yan Country was opened by the princess. The taste is just like the name, it is top-notch. I will definitely try it next time."
"You are welcome at any time. If you have any good suggestions, please let me know. I have to thank the diners for their tolerance for the shortcomings now, otherwise my shop would probably be closed down."
"Hahahahahahaha, Princess, you really know how to talk. It will be so lively when your master has you by his side."
They finished their lunch with some laughter and chat, and the middle-aged man arranged for them to stay in the guest room.
Mu Xingchen took a look at the guest room and was about to sit down when he suddenly felt dizzy. He couldn't help but close his eyes and rubbed his temples.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
After Xue Zhiyu packed her bag, she went out to find Mingzhi. She thought it would be boring to stay there, so she might as well go out now. When she passed by Mu Xingchen's room, she saw that the door was open. She subconsciously wanted to see what her master was doing. Seeing that Mu Xingchen looked uncomfortable, she rushed in without thinking.
After a long while, Mu Xingchen opened his eyes again. In front of him was Xue Zhiyu's anxious expression. Her tender eyes seemed as if they would shed tears at the next moment.
His ink-black eyes stared at her without blinking, as if he didn't want to miss any expression on her face.
Seeing that Mu Xingchen was staring at her without saying anything, Xue Zhiyu thought that her master had not come to his senses yet, and became even more anxious. She helped him sit on the stool next to her and reached out to feel his pulse.
Master's pulse is normal and he doesn't look like he has any problem.
"I am fine."
Hearing that Mu Xingchen finally spoke, Xue Zhiyu let out a long sigh. She almost went to pull Mingzhi over.
"Master, you scared me just now. Are you too tired? Why don't you go to bed and take a nap?"
"What about you?"
Xue Zhiyu smiled sheepishly, "I plan to go out for a walk with Mingzhi. I've had a rest anyway."
Mu Xingchen pursed his lips, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but say, "Go early and come back early. Don't get entangled if you meet the royal family."
"Master, you said that the royal family can't show up in broad daylight, and this opportunity is probably harder than becoming the richest businessman in Yan Country. Let's go, Master, have a good rest."
"Ah."
After Xue Zhiyu closed the door for Mu Xingchen, Mingzhi quietly walked over and pointed in the direction of the door. The two smiled at each other and walked towards the door impatiently.
The streets and alleys of Yuzhou Kingdom are very different from those of Yan Kingdom. If Yan Kingdom is compared to a poetic and picturesque country, then Yuzhou Kingdom exudes a sense of heroism in both clothing and streets, while also retaining details.
"Mingzhi, have you been to Yuzhou Country before?"
"Of course I have been here. I'll take you to eat a snack here that you can't get in Yan Country."
Mingzhi said as he led Xue Zhiyu towards the main street. Looking at the dazzling array of food and novelties, Xue Zhiyu became more and more curious about Yuzhou Kingdom.
"Why are there so many people today? We didn't have to queue up in the past," Mingzhi looked at the queue that stretched from the store to the next few shops behind, and felt quite depressed.
Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to take a look, "What snacks are you talking about?"
"It's a seed shortbread, which can only be eaten in Yuzhou Country. It tastes salty and sweet, and it's even better when eaten with the tea here. But in the past, you didn't have to queue up."
Xue Zhiyu squinted at the sunlight above her head, nodded in agreement, and then said seriously: "It is indeed exaggerated. In this case, I will wait for you on the side. You wait in line for a while. Thank you for your hard work."
"Junior sister, I'm going to report you to Master for being unkind!" Mingzhi just watched Xue Zhiyu turn around and walk into the shop next door, and had no choice but to accept his fate and wait in line obediently.
After entering the shop, Xue Zhiyu suddenly remembered that she didn't speak the language, so she couldn't buy anything because there was no sign language here.
"Did the girl encounter any difficulties?"
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. Xue Zhiyu turned around in surprise. When she saw the clothes of the person behind her, she couldn't help but frowned in confusion and asked uncertainly, "Are you asking me?"
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to know that she would ask this question. He smiled at her and nodded, saying, "That's right. I saw that the young lady seemed to have encountered some difficulties, so I came to see if I could help."
"You speak Chinese so well. If it weren't for your clothes, I would have thought you were from Yan Country or Qi Yue Country."
"I learned Chinese from my good friends who traveled with me," the girl said jokingly.
Xue Zhiyu pointed to a bracelet made of strange beads in the cabinet and said, "Can you ask the store owner for the price for me?"
"No problem," the man said, and then turned to the owner who was tapping the container nearby and chatted with him in a gibberish that she couldn't understand anyway.
Soon, the man came back and said, "Miss, that bracelet costs ten taels of silver."
Xue Zhiyu thought for a moment, took out some silver from her sleeve and handed it over, "Just take this, please tell the boss again."
After buying it, Xue Zhiyu asked curiously about the man next to her: "I see you dress like a scholar, I wonder what you do?"
"I am just a carefree traveler, I cannot bear the title of a scholar. Everything to me is just a passing cloud, I cannot bring it with me when I am born, and I cannot take it with me when I die."
The man looked as if he had seen through the world, his eyes full of vicissitudes that were so inconsistent with his appearance. However, he did not continue to speak, and she did not dare to continue asking.
In the following conversation, Xue Zhiyu felt that this man was really interesting. He knew a lot about the joy of mountains and rivers, and he was also very easy to talk to. She couldn't help but invite him, "I opened a restaurant called Baiweijia in Yan Country."
"Baweijia? What a great name."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man's face suddenly darkened. He glanced at the bustling street outside, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Just when Xue Zhiyu was confused, the man spoke again: "Girl, you'd better leave here quickly, they are coming."
"they are?"
"The Second Prince and the Third Prince."
Just after she finished speaking, Xue Zhiyu suddenly remembered what she had said before that she would never meet a royal family member. She wished she could shut her mouth. Was her mouth blessed? Why was she so unlucky? !
Mingzhi, who was waiting in line outside in frustration, also felt the sudden commotion of the crowd and looked in the direction of the commotion.
After seeing the flag symbolizing the royal emblem, his face changed drastically. He didn't even bother to queue up and hurried into the store where Xue Zhiyu was.
"Junior sister, let's go quickly. We shouldn't stay here for long."
"You guys hurry up and leave. I have to leave too," the man said and walked towards the back door without looking back.
The two of them looked at the situation at the front door and knew they couldn't get out, so they had to leave through the back door.
As soon as the two of them left, Wen Rui and Wen Jingxuan walked in.
Wen Jingxuan looked towards the back door thoughtfully, and he seemed to see a familiar figure.
"I didn't expect to meet you again. I'm really looking forward to what kind of surprises we will have this time."
Wen Rui walked forward and asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly want to come in? Did you see anyone?"
"A familiar old friend."
"is her?"
"Let's go, it's time to go back," Wen Jingxuan didn't answer him directly, but turned and walked out.
Here, Mingzhi and Xue Zhiyu still felt frightened after leaving through the back door as they almost came into contact with members of the royal family.
"Mingzhi, do you think the people of the royal family are really so scary?"
"Don't disbelieve it, it is said..." Mingzhi looked around and continued in a low voice: "It seems that there is a spy in the Western Region who was brainwashed by the royal family and his whereabouts are still unknown."
Xue Zhiyu sighed with a little fear. Although she didn't believe these things in her world, since she came here and saw so many strange things, she seemed to think that the terrifying power of this royal family was credible.
"Let's go somewhere else. We can't go back to the main street anyway, but I know other good places to go."
"Then lead the way quickly," Xue Zhiyu said, then she remembered the man just now, but when she turned around to look, he had disappeared.
