Master Qiu smiled faintly. "I shouldn't be surprised to see a Prime Minister here."
However, Mr. Qiu was a merchant from another Kingdom. Although he did not want to accept the jewel, Mr. Qiu had no other choice. He was a guest and in front of him the Prime Minister of the Li Kingdom, if he did not respect, then Lord Qiu would definitely break the boundaries of peace between their kingdoms.
The jewel was simply so that Master Qiu would not mind this matter in front of him anymore. Free this girl completely. Although it is actually as expensive as any gem, of course, it cannot buy human lives.
But for some people, human life is like a cow roaming the street.
And, as a bonus this gem is indeed really valuable.
"Take them off" said Huan Ran once again.
Huan Ran's eyes did not seem joking at all. It was almost like Huan Ran's voice was so calm and flat, but everyone knew that Huan Ran was not playing around. So that Mr. Qiu did not dare to make Huan Ran interfere in this matter.
Anyway, ...
"It's nice to do business with you, Prime Minister Huan," replied Mr. Qiu while paying his respects.
After that, Mr. Qiu ordered his men to release Yi Hua and the others. Although Jian looked still very vengeful with Yi Hua. The man's eyes glared sharply, and were even more horrifying by the fact that Jian's face had severe burns.
The culprit was of course Yi Hua.
"Congratulations HuaHua. You have added a new enemy to this life. Do not ask again if one day you die suddenly," said Xiao who as usual was only in the camp cheering.
Well, what could stand this sometimes unique personality of Xiao. Eh? Does Xiao have a personality? It was amazing that Xiao seemed to have a personality, but Yi Hua himself did not understand this concept of personality from Xiao.
Believe this. The world is so unique that you think that the creator was amazing when he made it.
"Wait a minute .." said Huan Ran hanging his words.
Especially when he saw Jian who still had a grudge against Yi Hua.
Yi Hua was still with his arrogant attitude staring at Jian. Although not communicating with each other, but the mind of Huan Ran must be the same as Yi Hua. So Yi Hua spat out blood from her mouth, "Leave one carriage for us. There should be enough food in it."
"YOU ..." Jian came up to Yi Hua, and nearly strangled Yi Hua.
However, Yi Hua remained standing upright while unfurling his talisman. Looking at Yi Hua's flame-burning talisman paper, Jian dared not come closer. However he already knew that Yi Hua would not hesitate to act wild like a cow again. That would be very detrimental to Jian of course.
"Stop, Jian!" snapped Lord Qiu once more. Especially when looking at Huan Ran's eyes that were so cold.
Whatever happens at this time could be a problem for Mr. Qiu later. If he did not release them now, then Huan Ran would make things difficult for Mr. Qiu as well. Because, Mr. Qiu is not a 'clean' person and his crimes in this place could have dragged him to be dismantled one by one other crime.
That's why he can't do anything. And, the black gem that Huan Ran gave him was the silence and the peaceful path between them.
"Alright, Master Qiu," replied Jian who was holding back his anger.
The big tall man immediately brought some people to prepare for what these people in front of him were asking for. And, as long as Jian looked at him with threat it turned out that Yi Hua was daydreaming and talking to Xiao. It is only fitting that he does not respond or is horrified. So Jian looked extremely wrathful as his killing gaze was useless to Yi Hua.
SRETT!
"Let's go," Yue Yan said with a slight whisper.
Yi Hua nodded his head to respond. Beside her the poor girl was still hugging Yi Hua's arm. This made Yi Hua a little uncomfortable, but she could not pull her hand. Ignoring that Yi Hua received a gesture from Huan Ran to leave immediately.
Xiao suddenly said something. "HuaHua, I feel a bad feeling."
However ...
Since when was there such a good thing around Yi Hua?
So that Yi Hua did not care about what Xiao said, and ran with the girl who was now using her fingers to hold onto Yi Hua's fingers. Without Yi Hua realizing it the girl smiled with tears in the corner of her eyes. From her cheeks that had bruises now grew red. Not because of anything, but more because the girl was blushing.
"Mr Yi ...
Yi Hua only turned a glance because he did not want to make small talk while on this run.
SRETT!
"Come in!" yue Yan shouted that was starting to be useful to their group. It also made Yi Hua not remember to hear the girl's words.
The man, Yue Yan, was now helping Liu Xingsheng to board the carriage, while Huan Ran took over the wheel. Yi Hua got into the carriage first before helping the girl into the carriage. At that time the girl looked at Yi Hua's small and white palm.
"Thank you, Yi Hua."
Right ... Xiao's premonition was always right.
The girl foolishly fell in love.
***
Yi Hua sighed as the carriage began to walk. Yue Yan still let out his head to check on the situation outside. No one can overcome the situation if Mr. Qiu and his entourage follow.
However, Yi Hua had a faster method of checking things out. Yi Hua who heard the safe report from Xiao directly pulled the clothes of the back of Yue Yan. This made Yue Yan interested very dramatically. Of course the man protested at the anarchist actions of Yi Hua.
"You're all right?!" yue Yan yelled who was always noisy.
Yi Hua nearly clogged Yue Yan's mouth with his talisman paper. Who knew that it could be burned sometime when Yue Yan had already swallowed the paper.
However, since I am a kind and helpful person and am indebted, I will not commit such cruel acts.
"What if your head gets stuck in the trees later?! You will trouble me to pull you in," Yi Hua replied at will.
Yue Yan was of course getting furious. "If that happens you're the last person I want to help."
If Yi Hua were to help, the one Yue Yan was about to lose his head.
And, Yi Hua instantly remembered if they had anyone else inside the carriage. Yi Hua turned to the little girl who was looking at him with a smile on her face. This made Yi Hua give a brief smile. Just for politeness.
"Thank you for helping me, gentlemen," said the girl, bowing her head.
"You finally know how troublesome it is," Yue Yan replied cynically.
CIT!!
Yi Hua pinched Yue Yan's arm for the man to hold back his words. Of course Yue Yan nagged again.
"You don't have to pretend to be nice, Yi Hua. You know our purpose, and I've been kind enough to help you. Then, since you brought this matter, the flat-faced Prime Minister lost his precious gem. Now what can we use to buy that mirror image?" yue Yan asked sensibly.
Hearing what Yue Yan said of course the girl felt very guilty. This made Yi Hua even more eager to let go of this dirty mouth of Yue Yan, and replace it to the cow mouth so that it could only meow. Of course the one to blame here was Yi Hua.
The fortuneteller looked at the front-facing Liu Xingsheng with a blank look. Are they in a desperate stage now?
"Prime Minister Huan, forgive me ... The jewel I will replace it," Yi Hua replied in a rather loud tone.
All that so that Huan Ran who was driving the train could hear.
Xiao sighed. "You've never heard of it if the price of the gem isn't playing around? Even more expensive than your pride."
Damn, Xiao! You look at me as low as what?
Huan Ran suddenly stopped the train. This made the guilty girl even more attached to Yi Hua. Of course he felt guilty and scared. What if the driver (meaning Huan Ran) is angry with him. Moreover, as revealed by Yue Yan, they had to throw away their precious treasures.
The money put in by Mr. Qiu's people wasn't so much. It was just enough to buy food for a few days. The price of this car will not be too expensive. In buying and selling techniques, it is clear that they are very disadvantaged.
Huan Ran suddenly said. "His life is more precious than any jewel."
However, what was still the subject of their minds was about Liu Xingsheng.
I don't know when this guy will survive.
The girl lowered her head while playing her immaculately cut nails. Nope. It was not cut, rather the girl played her nails more often. The more anxiety, then someone will tend to hurt his fingers. That was what Yi Hua realized.
"I ... I am just a girl from a village that is very far away from the Li Kingdom. My name is Jia Yu. My parents owe Mr. Qiu a debt, and cannot afford it. They took me when I was a kid and ..." The girl couldn't carry on.
From when I was a kid?
How old is this girl? I don't know how long he suffered.
"What's wrong. After all this hopefully it will be fine," Yi Hua replied as she leaned her head on Liu Xingsheng's shoulder.
It was not a matter that he wanted to overload Liu Xingsheng's body. But, ... Yeah ... Let's say it takes a positive person to break the gloomy aura around them. Unfortunately, the people who were with him were now more insane than they should have been, let alone Yue Yan.
"But ... What about the auction ..." continued Jia Yu who recalled that Yi Hua and these other Gentlemen wanted to go to the auction in the Lower Kingdom.
Of course Jia Yu knew it. He was taken by Mr. Qiu to be a toy along the way.
"Just calm. We can steal it if there is a chance," Yi Hua replied.
"Definitely God has trouble noting your bad deeds, HuaHua," responded Xiao who has always been a loyal spectator.
Although actually Yi Hua was not sure if the defense in the Phoenix Kingdom would be so weak. There was no way guests would have to rely on a member's necklace to enter if they could infiltrate. Surely the Underworld Kingdom has their own guard. And, Yi Hua would not be surprised anymore if there was no news of the theft there.
The auction of the Phoenix Kingdom would not have been so 'famous' if not for its reputation.
SRETT!
TING
TING
TING
The wind was blowing a little. This made the curtain of the train blush and the sound of soft bells sounded. From there Yi Hua could tell that near them there might be a god temple. Yi Hua suddenly recalled something that he felt had happened in his past.
However ...
I can't remember it very well. It's just ... I feel so familiar with all this.
Yi Hua had suddenly lived for quite a long time.
TING!
TING!
Huan Ran doesn't run the train either. Maybe the guy was thinking about taking a break. However, it is still dark. After this temple maybe they will enter the forest. It was definitely not an easy trip.
Yi Hua looked at Huan Ran's back which seemed to occasionally when the wind blew the curtain. I don't know what the man was thinking while staring towards the front. More than anything, Huan Ran suddenly said something.
"Little people around me used to say, 'Grow great to be a good person and do not do evil'." Huan Ran seemed to have paused his words.
"And as I was growing up I realized that good and evil do not actually exist" Huan Ran continued calmly.
Of course because good and evil are only views. It was just a name that people gave to measure others. They put 'good' and 'bad' limits on others around them. Some can measure that size, but some cannot. So many do not know how good he is or vice versa.
Yue Yan said nothing. The man preferred to wipe the heads of his snakes. The man's view was illegible, but he understood best what Huan Ran meant. Yi Hua suddenly felt that everyone had their own problems.
It would be impolite to say that 'i' suffer the most. And other people too. It's just in a different form. But usually the person who is good at storing his complaints is the person who knows the taste of suffering the most.
Because they know complaining won't solve the problem.
"So, you don't have to feel guilty, fortuneteller Yi. If I take the opposite decision maybe if Liu Xingsheng realizes later he will scold us all. He is a good person" said Huan Ran who suddenly laughed blankly.
It's not laughter because it's funny.
Yi Hua squinted his eyes as he smelled a very thick scent of blood. But the smell did not last long. After the wind came again, the aroma immediately disappeared and was replaced with the aroma of dry leaves.
Yi Hua's focus was diverted again on the girl's slow pull on her sleeves. The girl seemed to want to say something. However, he may be too afraid to start a conversation between them.
"What's wrong, Miss Jia?" ask Yi Hua.
The girl said with some doubt. "When Mr. Qiu got together with his comrades they once told him about betting on free combat," the girl explained stammering.
Free fight?
THE PLAQUE!
Yue Yan suddenly bent his hand in recall. Then, the man continued.
"really. Free fight! We can fight there!" yue Yan shouted suddenly.
Hey, don't just yell like a cow pinched in the tail. Explain first!
