“Little Qingqing, have you missed your senior brother?” Rong Ye stretched out his hand and tugged at the tassels on Gu Qingqing’s head as he asked with a smile.
Sensing the movement above her head, Gu Qingqing hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her head. She raised her eyes and glared at Rong Ye, wanting to express her dissatisfaction.
Today, she was wearing a light blue scholarly dress with tassels of the same color on her head. Her skin was fair and her pair of big eyes stared at Rong Ye. She was fierce and fierce. Other than being cute, she did not have any deterrent force.
A trace of a smile flashed across Rong Ye’s eyes. He felt that his junior sister was really cute no matter how he looked at her. The usually arrogant young master Rong quickly pretended to be humble. This made Gu Qingqing, who was pretending to be fierce, suddenly laugh, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.
“Why did you come to Yi Feng today?” Si Lin watched the interaction between Rong Ye and Gu Qingqing from the side. Previously, he did not think that it was an eyesore. Now, he actually felt that it was a rare occasion when he should open his mouth and ask.
When Rong Ye heard Si Lin speak, his expression was a little surprised. After being with senior brother Si Lin for so many years, he knew very well how much Si Lin did not like to talk. Now, he actually took the initiative to ask him why he had come.
“I came to see Little Qingqing.” Rong Ye patted Gu Qingqing’s head and quickly moved away before she got angry. He said softly.
Si Lin glanced at him and did not believe Rong Ye’s words at all.
“Alright, Qingfeng City has been a little unstable recently. Master wants you and I to make a trip there and bring Qingqing out to see the world.” Rong Ye straightened himself and said to Si Lin with a serious expression.
Si Lin’s eyes flashed when he heard that. His gaze fell on Gu Qingqing and he frowned. “Are we really going to bring her there?”
If it was before, Si Lin would only find it troublesome to bring a child to do something that might be dangerous. But now that the person in question was Gu Qingqing, he was actually a little worried about her safety and did not want her to take the risk, even though he was very strict with Gu Qingqing when he practiced the sword!
Rong Ye looked at Si Lin in surprise. He felt that this was not something that his cold-hearted senior brother, who only had the sword, could say!
But when his gaze fell on Gu Qingqing, he felt that it was understandable. After all, Gu Qingqing was so cute. It was easy for Si Lin to like her!
“With the two of us here, what’s there to be worried about?” Rong Ye flicked the nonexistent dust off his body and said nonchalantly but arrogantly.
Si Lin was silent for a moment before nodding his head.
While the two of them were talking, Gu Qingqing had been listening to them quietly by the side. Only when their gazes fell on her did she look at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
“Qingqing, let’s go. Senior Brother will bring you down the mountain to see the world.” Rong Ye reached out and directly carried Gu Qingqing. He even weighed her until Si Lin looked at her.
Gu Qingqing was not angry. She only hugged Rong Ye’s neck and looked at him and Si Lin with anticipation.
Si Lin looked at the two of them. Seeing that Rong Ye was holding Gu Qingqing firmly, he waved to the air.
Suddenly, two cranes appeared in the sky and landed in front of the three of them. Si Lin tiptoed and landed on the back of one crane. He turned his head to look at the other crane. Rong Ye was already standing on top of jt with Gu Qingqing in his arms. When he saw him looking over, he nodded.
The cranes rose into the sky and soon left a peak.
..
Qingfeng City was a city that was closer to the mountains. It was located in the territory of the Great Zhou dynasty of the Mysterious Sky Continent.
There were three dynasties in the Mysterious Sky Continent, four sects, five aristocratic families, and various other powers. The three dynasties were the Great Zhou dynasty, the Great Song dynasty, and the Great Tang dynasty. Although there were conflicts between the three dynasties, they could still live together peacefully.
The four sects were the Shangyang sect, the Wan Qing sect, the Purple Sovereign Pavilion, and the Heaven-seeking Palace. The five aristocratic families were the Lan family, the Zhuo family, the Nalan family, the Qiu family, and the Yun family.
Regardless of whether it was the four great sects or the five aristocratic families, they were all inextricably linked to the three great dynasties. It was also because of this that even though there were conflicts between these powers, they were still relatively peaceful.
Qingfeng City was one of the top ten cities in the Great Zhou dynasty. As it was close to the mountains, there were many people coming and going. Hence, it developed quite well.
Si Lin and the other two landed on the crane a mile away from Qingfeng City. It was already evening, and there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city. It was very lively.
After letting the crane leave on its own, Rong Ye carried Gu Qingqing and Si Lin into Qingfeng City.
It was the first time Gu Qingqing had come to such a crowded place. Being carried by Rong Ye, she looked at the surrounding buildings and scenery that she had never seen before. She only felt that her eyes were not enough, and her face was full of surprise.
Rong Ye and Si Lin had come to Qingfeng city many times, and it was not new. However, because it was Gu Qingqing’s first time here, the two of them did not go straight to the main destination as usual. Instead, they walked slowly. As they walked, they helped Gu Qingqing buy those fun and delicious things.
“This ice-sugar gourd is not bad. Children like it. Little Qingqing, you can try it.” Rong Ye bought a string of ice-sugar gourd and said as he handed it to her.
Gu Qingqing had seen the ice-sugar gourd before, but she had never eaten it before. After Rong Ye handed it to her, she quickly opened her mouth and took a bite. She was unlucky. The first Hawthorn was a little sour and her face wrinkled from the sourness. Even so, she did not spit out the ice-sugar gourd, but forcefully swallowed it.
“Haha.” Rong ye was amused by Gu Qingqing’s expression and laughed out loud without mercy. Immediately, he received Gu Qingqing’s angry gaze and Si Lin’s warning gaze. He quickly covered his mouth.
Gu Qingqing frowned as she stared at the ice-sugar gourd in her hand. She did not know what to do.
Because she was always hungry in the past, she did not like to waste food. However, the candied hawthorn just now was really too sour. She was afraid that the next one would be sour as well.
“Little Qingqing, the candied hawthorn won’t be that sour. Don’t worry. If it’s still sour, then give me the rest of it.” Rong Ye clearly knew Gu Qingqing’s habits. Seeing her conflicted look, he quickly said.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing glanced at Rong Ye and was instantly happy. She took another hawthorn. This time, her luck was not bad. The one she ate was not as sour as before, and it was neutralized by the sugar coating outside. It was sour and sweet, and also very delicious. She immediately curved her eyes in satisfaction.
Seeing this, a trace of a smile flashed across Si Lin and Rong Ye’s eyes.
The sky gradually turned dark. Rong Ye and Si Lin saw that Gu Qingqing was a little tired. They found the largest inn in Qingfeng City, Flying Snow House. The food in this inn was the best in the entire Qingfeng City. There were many dishes made from the corpses of demonic beasts and medicinal herbs, containing spiritual power; it was very famous in the entire Great Zhou dynasty.
Of course, this also meant that the rooms in this inn were very expensive. It was the kind of place that ordinary people could not afford to stay.
Rong Ye and Si Lin were not people who lacked money. In fact, because they often went to Qingfeng City, they even rented a small courtyard in the Flying Snow House. As long as they brought a token, they could stay at any time.
The decoration of the Flying Snow House was very luxurious, but it did not appear ostentatious. It made people feel very comfortable. Gu Qingqing was carried by Rong Ye as she moved and looked at the furnishings of the Flying Snow House.
After passing through the lobby, they arrived at the backyard of the Flying Snow House.
Just as they were about to enter their courtyard, the sound of fighting suddenly came from not far away.
