Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Forgetting the Initial Purpose

Three Days Later

"Xuan'er, your body condition has just improved. No need to follow Huanran on a business trip, let Dage take care of you in the residence," Persuaded Xiu Jierui to see how enthusiastic Xiu Qixuan was to put a large box of his goods into the caravan.

Xiu Qixuan walked up to Xiu Jierui and hugged his first brother's arm spoiled. He then said,

"Dage, no need to worry. Actually I don't want to go either, but there's something I have to do, and this business trip is one of my opportunities. Let's just say I'm off on vacation" replied Xiu Qixuan trying to calm her first brother down,

"Stay that you should pay attention to your body, leaving in this condition not only am I anxious, but Dad is also worried about you," Xiu Jierui said stifledly, pinching Xiu Qixuan's cheeks twitching furiously.

"But, you can't ban me" Xiu Qixuan said with a proud glow in both of her eyeballs, with both cheeks pinched in anxiety by Xiu Jierui the words issued were no radiance of arrogance but rather like he was acting silly.

Xiu Jierui kept both of his hands away from Xiu Qixuan's cheeks, he then sighed bitterly,

"It is very difficult to handle your behavior, until you give up and agree to your request" Xiu Jierui said,

Sure enough what Xiu Jierui said, since three days ago Xiu Qixuan sulked and broke down speaking, then he threatened the three men of the Xiu family with his signature words that if they forbade him to leave, he would still go his own way.

That was what made the three men agree, because even if they forbid, Xiu Qixuan would still leave alone, rather than let it happen it was better to let him follow Xiu Huanran who would guard him. The three men began to understand Xiu Qixuan's indestructible nature, Xiu Qixuan would always be stubborn with her will and will.

Ji Gui also came yesterday to try to persuade Xiu Qixuan but instead of getting the results even he who got the typical temptations and seductions Xiu Qixuan, but instead of getting the results even he got,

"Teacher, just tell me you don't want me to disappear from your sight for a moment for fear that you will miss me" Xiu Qixuan said at the time to Ji Gui,

The trip this time Xiu Qixuan already had Xiao Rou who would take care of her needs personally, making her not as hassled as the previous trip.

Xiao Taoli did not have any special information from the Peach Dew Shop, he only had the information that the shopkeeper was a wealthy merchant who came from Northern Xia and the four assassins were one of the special visitors who frequented.

But, according to Xiu Qixuan the information was already included enough, only from such information could he know the outline that Qiaofeng had a problem related to the Northern Xia people.

The former aside of Qiaofeng's matter, now let's start Xiu Qixuan's journey to find the heavenly plant.

*****

A Few Days Later

In mid-autumn, Xiu Huanran's entourage reached Lian City. The travel time to this city was slower than their usual business trip, as carrying a Young Miss in a horse carriage made them more cautious.

Xiu Huanran bought a small residence in Lian City, wanting to make Xiu Qixuan feel comfortable and secure rather than in a crowded inn of foreign visitors.

Xiu Qixuan didn't care about it too much, she just wanted to hurry to the Guang Forest looking for heavenly plants and be able to relax back a little.

It was currently the second day since they arrived in Lian City, Xiu Huanran was busy with his work in some of his shops.

Xiu Qixuan began to plan how to search for the heavenly plant without worrying about her meeting assassins and beasts. He didn't want to involve so many people with this matter.

Find an idea that he thinks is suitable as an excuse, he said,

"XuanXuan, I'm ready. Let's hunt, I'll shoot a big deer for you. We're going to eat some venison tonight" Xiao Taoli said in style with an archery in her arm,

"My Taotao is indeed the coolest and most understanding," replied Xiu Qixuan wading her two thumbs towards Xiao Taoli.

"Xiao Rou, you can relax for a moment in your room, just think of me giving you a leave of absence for your good performance," Xiu Qixuan said towards Xiao Rou who had been watching them since earlier,

"XuanXuan, do you really want to go hunting? Has Second Young Master given permission?" Xiao Rou asked to confirm it once more, she was afraid of the punishing punishment from Xiu Huanran for neglecting to look after the Great Miss.

"Don't worry that I won't get you into trouble" Xiu Qixuan replied calming down her maid of honor,

Heh, wasn't Xiu Qixuan several times already because his roar made the heart of his companion's maid almost dislodged.

"I've got Er'ge's permission. If he keeps looking for me and makes you desperate to give this paper to him," Xiu Qixuan said giving the folded paper to Xiao Rou,

"Taotao, let's go," Xiu Qixuan said rushing out of the small residence,

Xiu Huanran's subordinates who saw them only lowered their heads and opened the gate of the residence, before they had been given a message by Xiu Huanran to let his Sister out of the residence.

Xiu Qixuan had not been able to ride a horse by herself, she sat in the arms of Xiao Taoli who was riding a horse out of Lian City towards the Guang Forest not too far away.

Upon arriving in the middle of the Guang Forest, Xiao Taoli started hunting down some small rabbits that were seen among the bushes. Xiu Qixuan, who could not bear to see the rabbit being harvested, began to complain about banning Xiao Taoli from shooting the little rabbit.

However, Xiao Taoli began to understand that they were hunting and considered them to be real hunters. Does a real hunter pick out the prey in front of him?

Xiao Taoli taught Xiu Qixuan how to shoot properly, that day they were exhausted by hunting and Xiu Qixuan who learned archery, the arrows shot by Xiu Qixuan shot in an uncertain direction. Not even a single animal was successfully harvested by Xiu Qixuan.

The sun was already on the western horizon, Xiao Taoli stopped the archery learning activities, and,

"XuanXuan, it will be dark better continue tomorrow," Xiao Taoli said next to Xiu Qixuan who was crouching and covered in bushes.

"Syutt, Taotao don't make a lot of noise. Let me try this one," replied Xiu Qixuan whispering softly without turning her head,

'Wushhh' The arrow shot by Xiu Qixuan shot out quickly and hit the leg of a rabbit, which was,

"I did it," Xiu Qixuan said happily, she then ran over to her hunting rabbit, she carried and stroked the rabbit and said an apology.

The sound of horse-footed feet sounded,

"XuanXuan, Go up," Xiao Taoli said extending her hand towards Xiu Qixuan,

Xiu Qixuan welcomed the helping hand and Xiao Taoli rode out of the forest towards Lian City, After a while the atmosphere around the silence was only the sound of small insects and the flapping of bird wings, Xiu Qixuan started to open her voice.

"Are we heading straight to Lian City?" Asked Xiu Qixuan, though,

"Of course" Xiao Taoli replied,

"But I feel that something is lacking," muttered Xiu Qixuan, she still did not remember the important purpose of coming to the Guang Forest.

"We haven't gotten the big deer you deserve to feel you're lacking, but rest easy at the next hunting opportunity I'll get it for you" Xiao Taoli replied to Xiu Qixuan's mutterings,

"Could it? But I don't think so," Xiu Qixuan replied perplexed by the lingering feeling, she tried to dig into his memory.

"Yeah!! How could I forget such an important thing," Shouted Xiu Qixuan furiously,

Xiao Taoli was startled by Xiu Qixuan's shout, the horse he was riding was a little shrewd but he managed to control it.

"XuanXuan, what's wrong with you? Why yell?" Xiao Taoli asked stifledly, dismissing his horse.

"Sorry, I didn't intentionally. Just continue the journey to Lian City," Xiu Qixuan replied with an awkward smile,

Xiao Taoli pulled the reins, but he saw a large doe eating some grass in front of them.

"XuanXuan, wait here I will quickly shoot the deer," Xiao Taoli said, descending from the horse, leaving Xiu Qixuan on the horse alone.

Xiu Qixuan simply nodded - she was thinking how to head to the Guang Forest again for the next day, because today alone she fooled Xiu Huanran into not giving him any oversight.

Xiu Huanran was not easy to deal with, Xiu Qixuan had to think and plan this from a long way since he was on the road.

Unconsciously his hand pulled the reins of the horse hard, the horse went berserk and walked quickly in an erratic direction.

'Ngikk' The sound of horses neighing

Xiao Taoli who heard the sound of horses and the footprints of horses running away immediately tried to chase after him,

"Waaakkkhh... Taotao, help me!" Shouted Xiu Qixuan trying to control the horse,

"XuanXuan, take control of the horse!" Shouted Xiao Taoli still trying to chase the horse that was running fast into the deepening of the Guang Forest.

"I can't, How can I?" Shouted Xiu Qixuan who was getting away from Xiao Taoli,

Xiao Taoli's voice was no longer heard, the man was already far behind, the horse kept on running, Xiu Qixuan was indeed the horse's harness constantly trying to avoid collisions with the big trees.

The day grew darker, the atmosphere in the forest was so silent that it was gripping with the neighing of a horse and the voice of a girl who occasionally shouted trying to control the horse she rode.

'Bruk' Xiu Qixuan's body slammed against a large tree,

'Uhuk' He spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood,

The horse he rode was calm and only a few steps ahead of him.

"Crazy horse," cursed Xiu Qixuan.

Lamenting his fate - again and again alone in the middle of the forest without knowing the direction, when he had anticipated bringing Xiao Taoli by his side to avoid something like this happening but this horse messed up.

"I think it's better this time, as long as you don't meet the person who is being chased by the killer and bury the corpse alone," muttered Xiu Qixuan trying to stand up by holding a tree trunk, his body hurt so hard.
