Chapter 2: The Ye Family and the Righteousness of Mocheng
A full moon hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight and moonlight gently spread over the earth.
From time to time, the roars of beasts were heard in the silent mountains during the day, and the fierce beasts that suppressed their own nature finally showed their hideous side under the moonlight, and the dangerous aura filled the entire forest.
The vigilance of the guards around the camp has also been raised to the extreme, and the Qingyun Mountain under the dark night is a dangerous time period for the beasts in the mountains, especially on the night of the full moon, which will make the beasts be inexplicably stimulated, and the ferocity will be even worse.
On the bare stone next to the camp, a young man in white was cross-legged, his hands facing between the dantian, one palm facing outward, the palm of the other hand facing inward, two thumbs against the index finger of the other hand, meditating quietly under the moonlight, and the beast roar from a distance did not affect him at all.
The middle-aged guard was standing not far away, watching the young man in white meditate in this strange posture and saluting the young man in white.
"In Xia Ye'an, Tian is the leader of this line-up, dare to ask what the little brother is called."
Hearing the words of the middle-aged guard Ye An, the young man in white opened his eyes, then stood up and walked down the stone, and returned the same salute.
"There are many disturbances during the day, and I ask Brother Ye to forgive me, my surname is Lin, my single name is Chen, Zi'er is my sister, she is like this, and we have no malice."
"There are many fierce beasts in this mountain, I don't know why Little Brother Lin got lost in this mountain."
Hearing Ye An's puzzlement and doubts, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then said helplessly.
"A few days ago, Zi'er's girl was playful, and when I was resting, I saw a little bit of interest together, I saw that girl walked away from the camp, so I chased after it, I couldn't find a way back, I stumbled for a few days, fortunately, I was a little alert, and I avoided a lot of dangers, until today I met Brother Ye."
Although Ye Anxin was still vigilant, he was also a lot more relieved, at least from his words, he could know that Lin Chen was not malicious.
"The journey is difficult, I don't know what little brother Lin has planned?"
Where the voice came, I saw a beautiful woman in her twenties walking out of the carriage, the woman looked beautiful, and there was no cultivation on her body, holding Lin Zi'er's little hand in her hand, and walking towards Lin Chen with a smile on her face.
"Brother in white, Sister Ruoxi said she could take us for a ride, and finally we don't have to walk."
Lin Zi'er cheered happily at Lin Chen, thinking about getting lost for many days, it really tired the girl.
"Zi'er, this girl and I hit it off at first sight, I like it a lot, since the girl calls me sister, then it's not an exaggeration for me to call you Brother Lin", the woman said to Lin Chen.
"Zi'er, this girl is still young, she is really tired these days, since Miss Ruoxi invited, then thank you here."
"Then I have wronged my brother for a few days."
........
Speechless all night.
After two days of traveling, the smoke rose from not far away, and when they finally saw the presence of human traces, the group couldn't help but be happy.
In two days, the group walked in Qingyun Mountain, and the danger was naturally not less, and they encountered fierce beasts several times during the period.
Fortunately, the beasts didn't attack everyone for some reason, otherwise they would have had to fight.
"Little Brother Lin, after the town ahead, my mission is almost complete, but I'm finally back."
One of the guards said to Lin Chen with a smile, his mouth full of feelings.
Looking at the town in the distance, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile.
After getting along for two days, Lin Chen also had a clearer understanding of the escort team.
Dozens of miles away from Qingyun Mountain, there is the only city within a radius of thousands of miles - Mocheng.
There are three major families in the city, all of which are famous and century-old families, and it can be said that they are the existence of the wind and rain in the city.
And the escort team is one of the elite guards exclusive to the Ye family, and it has always been the responsibility of protecting the important people of the Ye family.
This trip should not have been escorted by them, but because this time it was personally transported by the daughter of the head of the Ye family, Ye Ruoxi, the eldest lady of the Ye family, so they came.
In the conversation with everyone, I also learned that the Ye family was built by Ye Ruoxi's grandfather Ye Ming with iron-blooded means, during which there were countless bloody storms, and the time of rising in Mocheng was less than a hundred years, but it has become one of the three giants of Mocheng.
Although the Ye family is powerful, the lack of foundation and overall strength is a fatal weakness, coupled with the rise of a force, it will inevitably touch the grievances of many interests, so although the Ye family is now in full swing, it has to keep a low profile.
And this time the escort task is very important, and success or failure will directly determine whether the Ye family can compete with the other two families in terms of heritage and family strength.
That's why the eldest lady of the Ye family, Ye Ruoxi, will come out in person.
And after getting along in the past two days, Lin Chen also found that Ye Ruoxi liked himself and Lin Zi'er very much, of course, not between men and women.
If you really want to talk about it, it seems like a kind of love for your younger brothers and sisters.
"There has been a lot of disturbance in the past few days, thank you Miss Ruoxi for taking care of Zi'er"
Outside the carriage, Lin Chen and Ye Ruoxi stood side by side, looking at Lin Zi'er, who was playing with Cui'er.
Over the next few days, the two will also talk from time to time, so the current relationship is relatively close.
"In the past few days, I have had a good chat with Gongzi and Zi'er, but I didn't expect to be separated here"
Ye Ruoxi looked at the two girls who were playing with regret.
"Zi'er is rarely happy these days, it's just a banquet that is not dispersed in the world, I believe there will be a day of goodbye in the future"
"Then my sister is looking forward to that day"
After speaking, he called the two who were playing over.
Maybe it was the hurt of the scene, Ye Ruoxi looked at the two people who trotted over in a daze.
"Speaking of which, if nothing happened to my own brother, he would be the size of Zi'er by now", Ye Ruoxi's eyes couldn't help but turn red as she spoke.
Seeing this, Lin Zi'er couldn't help but run to Ye Ruoxi's side and comfort Ye Ruoxi.
"Zi'er has always wanted a good sister like Sister Ruoxi, why don't we bow down, I'm a sister, Brother in White is an elder brother, and Sister Ruoxi is a sister."
"Okay, my sister also has this idea", he said and looked at Lin Chen.
After all, Lin Chen is just a teenager, and it is inevitable that there will be some touches in his heart, plus he does feel real emotions from Ye Ruoxi.
.......
Under the sunset, the two girls were reluctantly saying goodbye, and Lin Chen couldn't imagine that it was just an unexpected encounter, and since then they have one more relative in the world.
"Sister Zi'er, there is no suitable gift for my sister, so these jade earrings will be given to you."
Ye Ruoxi took out a pair of jade earrings from the carriage and handed them to Lin Zi'er.
Then he turned his head to look at Lin Chen.
"Brother Chen, my sister doesn't have a gift suitable for a man, I'll write it down this time, and my sister will definitely make it up for you next time I meet."
Then Ye Ruoxi looked at Lin Chen very apologetically, Lin Chen was not a hypocritical person, and there was a slight smile on his face.
"As long as Zi'er likes it, besides, when it comes to gifts, my brother has one in his hand that just fits his sister."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Zi'er, Lin Zi'er understood, took off a silver bracelet from her hand, put it on Ye Ruoxi's hand, and talked excitedly while wearing it.
"Sister Ruoxi, don't you know, this pair of bracelets was painstakingly created by the brother in white, and I am the only one in this world, and now I will give you one, which will definitely bring you good luck."
Ye Ruoxi just looked at Lin Zi'er funny and didn't speak.
......
Looking at Ye Ruoxi who was walking away in the distance, Lin Chen took Lin Zi'er's hand, turned around and walked into the town, and slowly disappeared into the crowd.
All the things of the world are reduced to the end.
