Chapter 10: Cloud Coming City

Under the dark night sky, Xiang Yan, who was wearing a purple dress, kept running on a path full of thorns. For the latest free chapters of this book, please visit wèn. Exhausted and sweating like rain, Xiang Yantian felt that he had no strength at all. Turning back, she saw a richly dressed young woman holding her bloody right hand towards her, her lips still squirming slightly, but she didn't hear any sound.

"Yikes!" Xiang Yantian suddenly screamed, it turned out that she stepped on an empty kick because she was not able to support her body, and thus threw herself on the ground.

The slender hands trembled slightly, and Xiang Yan struggled to get up from the ground. Slightly apprehensive, he looked back behind him, but suddenly noticed that a silver hair was shining in the dark night with a faint silver light rapidly approaching him.

"Gongsun Shang!" She was immediately so frightened that she didn't dare to look behind her again, struggling to escape from the place that terrified her. But she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't take a step forward, and her feet felt as heavy as lead.

Seeing that the silver-haired figure was getting closer and closer, she closed her eyes in fear: "Don't come here!" ”

But a moment before she could close her eyes, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of her. With black hair fluttering and white clothes flying, Xiang Yantian only felt as if he had flown into the sky. Below her, a silver-haired figure grew farther and farther away from her......

The morning sun in the sky has risen from the east and gradually climbed up to three poles. The streets are already full of pedestrians, and there is a constant flow of people from all walks of life. On the second-floor window of an inconspicuous inn next to the street, a handsome man in a white shirt leaned against the window. A breeze blew, and the long black hair and the white clothes moved with the wind.

"Hmm......" Xiang Yantian snorted and woke up from his sleep. As if she felt that the sunlight was too dazzling, she couldn't help but squint her eyes and block her right hand in front of her. Once she had adjusted to the light, she found herself lying on a simple but neat bed. Looking farther away, she spotted the snow-white figure above the window.

"Did he save me?" Thinking back to the two ethereal white figures that appeared in front of her at the last moment, she couldn't even tell which one was a dream and which one was reality. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, a faint flush appeared on her snow-white pretty face, and she looked into the quilt with a little eagerness......

She was still wearing the same purple dress that had been worn from the palace, proving that she had not been changed.

It's okay - Xiang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, among the five senior brothers on the other side, all of them are men, and she, a weak woman, naturally has to worry about whether her clothes have been changed......

Rubbing her temples, she struggled to get up from the bed. Leaning against the head of the bed, she felt that her whole body was soft, and her bones seemed to fall apart. It seems to have been caused by excessive exercise yesterday. I still lack exercise! She sighed to herself.

"Are you awake? You've been asleep all night. Just when Xiang Yantian was secretly sighing about her physical condition, Yan Qing, who was still sitting on the edge of the window, didn't know when she had floated to her bedside, and asked in a flat tone.

"Hmm." Xiang Yantian replied softly. She didn't want to be a lady, even if palace etiquette did require it, but because she was so tired that she didn't seem to have the strength to speak out loud.

"Senior brother, let me stay here to take care of you......" Yan Qing's clear eyes looked at Xiang Yantian calmly.

Take care? Do you also call it care? Xiang Yantian didn't know why he was so concerned about such a trivial matter, and completely left behind the fact that he was saved by the man in front of him. It may be that she thinks that this so-called "care" is very different from the "care" she saw in the book where the heroine always stays by the bedside when the hero just wakes up, and there is no taste of "care" at all.

"You haven't eaten in a long time, right? Senior Brother wants me to take you down to eat something. Yan Qing didn't seem to see that Xiang Yantian's expression was a little strange, and still said calmly.

Xiang Yantian, who had almost forgotten about his hunger, suddenly felt a strong sense of hunger in his heart after hearing Yan Qing say this. yes, she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon. So, she cheered up and walked downstairs behind Yan Qing.

Following behind Yan Qing, the expression on Xiang Yantian's face suddenly became very strange.

"Excuse me...... Is your name Yan Qing? With a hint of uneasiness, Xiang Yantian couldn't help but ask the question that was pressed in his heart. Even though she had heard his name called before, she couldn't help but want to confirm it for herself.

"Yes, is there anything wrong with you?" Yan Qing, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around and asked.

He didn't expect Yan Qing to turn back, so his sudden turn back really startled Xiang Yantian. Curled up slightly like a frightened cat and took two steps back, Xiang Yantian barely squeezed out a smile, and replied a little nervously, "No...... Nothing was wrong......"

"By the way, I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Xiang ...... Xia Yantian. Xiang Yantian replied a little unnaturally. Although there were many people with surnames in the Daxiang Dynasty, she still chose to hide her real surname and adopted her mother's surname.

The moment he heard Xiang Yantian's last two words, Yan Qing was also stunned for a while, obviously knowing the reason why Xiang Yantian had a strange face before. His name is a homonym for hers! But this state of distraction only lasted for a moment, because as a person who walked the rivers and lakes, he did not allow himself to have too much time to wander, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Half an hour later, Yan Qing took Xiang Yan, who had already had breakfast, and walked towards the meeting place that their senior brothers had already decided.

Walking on the bluestone paved streets, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, Xiang Yantian had a different feeling. Maybe she stayed in the deep palace for too long. Although none of the qiē in this city is very luxurious, it can be said that it is far from the capital, but it gives her a very comfortable feeling in her eyes. She felt that the people in front of her, including the pedestrians walking on the streets, although they did not seem very wealthy, had a feeling of simplicity and closeness that she had never felt in the capital. All in all, she loves the city.

"What is this place?" While looking at the things around him, Xiang Yantian asked the questions he was interested in.

"This is Cloud City." Yan Qing replied lightly. Then he raised his head again, looking at the towering pale cyan mountain peak not far away, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Following Yan Qing's gaze, Xiang Yantian also cast her eyes on the tallest mountain she had ever seen in her life, her cherry lips opened slightly, and she murmured, "Cloud Coming City...... Yunlai Mountain? ”
