Chapter 322: Roundabout

After another day of recuperation, when Xu Xueying woke up from her sleep after dawn the next day, her injuries seemed to have recovered a lot, and her spirit and complexion were much better. Such a fast recovery speed was somewhat unexpected by Shen Shi, according to his original thoughts, with the extent of Xu Xueying's injury this time, I am afraid that he would have to lie down for at least three days.

Just looking at the current appearance, it seems that she can barely walk the next day, Shen Shi is a little uneasy, and carefully checked Xu Xueying's wounds, including the spiritual power in her body, and found that everything is indeed improving. Shen Shi was a little surprised, and asked Xu Xueying, but Xu Xueying couldn't say why, and in the end, Shen Shi pondered in his heart, but silently thought that the key to the problem might be the elixir he used for Xu Xueying.

The elixirs he carried with him were all privately refined by Zhong Qinglu for him earlier, and it seemed that the effect of the medicine was unexpectedly good...... I don't know if Zhong Qinglu's alchemy technique has been perfected, or if she has quietly added some more precious spiritual materials to these elixirs?

These things are naturally unclear now, and Shen Shiji didn't mention them again in his heart, so he discussed with Xu Xueying in this cave what to do next. In addition to the two of them talking here, the snow fox in the cave also woke up from his slumber, glanced up at the two of them, stood up and stretched, and then walked towards the entrance of the cave.

When walking past Shen Shi, Shen Shi took out a piece of dried meat from the Ruyi bag and handed it to the fox, who knew that the fox glanced at the dried meat, sniffed on it, and then ignored it indifferently, walked forward to the entrance of the cave, and then jumped down with an arrow, trotted all the way, and got into a bush in a blink of an eye.

Shen Shi was a little surprised, and glanced in the direction where the fox ran, but he didn't expect that it didn't want to eat this dried meat, but he didn't care too much, so he put the dried meat aside, and then continued to chat with Xu Xueying.

In fact, when the two of them first started talking, Shen Shi was still a little embarrassed, because Xu Xueying suddenly grabbed him the night before and said a word to confess his heart, which made him a little overwhelmed. You must know that Xu Xueying has always been Sun You's cousin, and the Xu family has also helped him a lot, so he treats Xu Xueying as a sister.

But to his surprise, after Xu Xueying started this day, she seemed to have suddenly forgotten about last night, and her speech and demeanor were the same as in the past, as if she had never said anything like you. Shen Shi was surprised, but he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that it should be because she was still young, and she was too stimulated during this period of time, so she would lose her words.

Since Xu Xueying didn't mention it, Shen Shi naturally regarded it as nothing, and the two got along naturally as before, and after saying this for a while, both Shen Shi and Xu Xueying thought that they should leave Lanzhou immediately, and then return to Xu's house in Liuyun City, Haizhou as soon as possible. However, on the route and method of leaving, the two had a little disagreement.

If you want to go back to Haizhou Liuyun City from Huang Phosphorus Mountain, the fastest path is, of course, to go to Heimu City, and then borrow the teleportation circle in the city to teleport all the way, which is equivalent to going back to the road that Chen Zhong and the others took Xu Xueying from again, until he returns to Haizhou, which is also Xu Xueying's idea. It's just that what surprised her a little was that Shen Shi objected to this, not only did she not agree to go to Heimu City, but instead discussed with Xu Xueying to continue south, directly enter Yinzhou, and then go to Woniu City, where there is a teleportation circle in Yinzhou, and leave from there and then travel all the way, and then return to Haizhou.

If you follow Shen Shi's path, it will take at least five to seven more days on this journey, Xu Xueying didn't quite understand, and Shen Shi just said: "I thought that old monster should have arrived at Yellow Phosphorus Mountain in the past few days, and found that things had changed. If he hides and disappears, it will be fine, but there are a few Yuandan monks in this world who are good friends, in my opinion, I am afraid that most of him is going to investigate this matter to the end, and if he does not find the two of us for the time being, then the biggest possibility is that he will follow the clues of Chen Zhongren's life, and he will definitely go to the black wood city. ”

He looked at Xu Xueying sincerely and said, "Although I know that you have suffered a lot this time, but to be honest, if that old monster is really a Yuandan monk, you and I still can't afford to mess with him at the moment." ”

Xu Xueying was silent for a moment, then nodded, and quickly agreed to Shen Shi's suggestion, in the middle of which she made a quick decision that even made Shen Shi a little surprised, because he thought that Xu Xueying would at least have to be entangled for a while. Perhaps sensing Shen Shi's surprise, Xu Xueying whispered and said:

"Brother Shen, I believe you. ”

Shen Shi smiled, he didn't know what to say for a while, thinking in his heart that it was no wonder that the next family of the Xu family valued this girl so much, just this impromptu and decisive temperament was stronger than most people of her age. If you think of it a few days ago, in such a desperate situation, this girl was able to improvise and provoke the relationship between Chen Zhong and the three of them in extreme danger to find a glimmer of life for herself, such smart and wise is really amazing.

Shen Shi even faintly felt that if Xu Xueying's talent in cultivation was higher, in the future, in this Lingxiao Sect, I was afraid that there would be another amazing and brilliant person.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't show much of it, and in the casual chat with Xu Xueying, he began to pack his luggage and prepare to leave. And just as he was about to clean up, the snow-white fox also happened to run back, and hiccups on the way.

Shen Shi glanced at the fox and saw that this fox seemed to have nothing unusual as usual, but after walking around the cave twice, he still didn't touch the piece of meat that was resting on the ground.

※※※

Since the two of them had agreed on the route back, they had no intention of going to Kuroki Castle again. However, after leaving this hidden mountain stream, Shen Shi did not immediately take Xu Xueying and the fox directly south into Yinzhou.

According to his memories of coming here when he was a teenager, Shen Shi took Xu Xueying to a Tonghe city closer to the border of Lanzhou, which was his first foothold in Lanzhou when he fled from Yinzhou at the age of twelve, that is, in this city, he got the news that his father and the Immortal Society secretly colluded to plot against the ancestor of the Xuanyin/Men Li family. After that, his new life really began.

He didn't tell anyone in detail about this past, including his long-time friend Sun You, and he only mentioned it roughly at the beginning. And now, he took Xu Xueying to Tonghe City, of course, not to remember the memories of the past, but to buy a few clothes and belongings for the injured girl in addition to replenishing some things needed for the subsequent journey.

After all, you can't afford a flowery girl to travel long distances in a tattered dress.

Before entering Tonghe City, Shen Shi was also a little cautious, but as he expected, there was peace in Tonghe City, and nothing unfavorable to them happened. Shen Shi successfully bought all the things here, and even bought a carriage to travel, so that Xu Xueying could have a better rest. Then they left the city that day, and went all the way south, leaving Lanzhou, and entering the state where Shen Shi was born and raised.

Yin State.
