Chapter 75 Walk, Walk, Walk

Jiang Lisheng was sleeping soundly when he was pulled out by Wei Qinglan, looking confused.

She rubbed her eyes, confused, "Brother Wei, what's wrong? Why are you so rude?"

Wei Qinglan was annoyed, "If I'm not rude, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake you up. Am I going to leave you here to get married?"

Jiang Lisheng woke up all of a sudden and opened his eyes wide, "Who, who is getting married?"

"The Yun family and the Pei family have an engagement. Old Madam Pei wants to meet the Yun family for her grandson's marriage. We just happened to run into each other. If you don't leave now, if Pei Rong really falls in love with you, and you are not a real Yun family member, how do you think it will end?"

Jiang Lisheng immediately jumped off the bed and said, "Go, go, go, go quickly."

She searched all over the floor for her shoes, and when she found them, she put them on while walking out.

Wei Qinglan reached out and grabbed her, "We can't leave like this. If we go out like this, even if we explain everything to her face to face, it will still cause trouble. More meetings, more conversations, and more trouble. It's better to leave a letter to explain and a thank-you gift as an apology. It's generally better not to meet each other. Leave the rest to Senior Brother Yun and ask the Yun family to deal with it."

Jiang Lisheng thought about it and said, "Brother Wei, you are really thoughtful." She looked at him flatteringly, "Then write it quickly. Let me look through my storage ring. Is there anything in the storage ring left by the dead old man that can be used in the mortal world?"

She felt that she had assumed someone else's status, and that she was the one who came to eat for free. If anything went wrong, she should be the one to receive the apology gift.

Wei Qinglan nodded. There were always pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the tables of all nobles. He sat down, frowned, and carefully considered his words as he wrote.

Jiang Lisheng was flipping through the storage ring while secretly glancing at him. Seeing his furrowed brows, he knew that he was obviously not good at this either. He didn't dare to look at him, for fear of looking at him again. He threw the pen and asked her to write, and then he started to flip through the things carefully.

Wei Qinglan took a lot of effort to write the note. Seeing Jiang Lisheng with a bitter face and a pile of things in front of him, as if he didn't know what to give, he took a look and took out a box of Dongzhu, "This is it! Take back the others."

Jiang Lisheng asked cautiously: "Is it too little?"

“Pearls are precious things in the mortal world. Your box contains more than a hundred pearls, and they are oriental pearls, which are even more precious. The treasury of the mortal emperor’s palace may not have so many collections. I can’t say they are priceless, but they are enough as an apology gift.” Wei Qinglan pressed the box on the rice paper, thought for a while, and took out a night-shining pearl from the storage ring, adding the good meaning of pairs.

Jiang Lisheng put the remaining things into the storage ring and sighed, "This meal is so expensive."

Not only did they have to take the compensation, but they also had to ask the Yun family to deal with the aftermath of Senior Brother Yun's death, which was really too expensive.

Wei Qinglan glanced at her, rubbed his wrist, and stood up. "Do you still want to find the dark market?"

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go quickly and go to Daying Mountain to find Senior Brother Chen." Jiang Lisheng didn't want to eat any snacks at all now. The price was too high. If this happened twice again, she would probably have to give up snacks for the rest of her life.

Her master couldn't help her to quit the bad habits, but there are people who can help her to quit them. The mortal world is too scary.

Seeing that she wanted to leave Hexin City quickly, Wei Qinglan nodded, waved his hand, and a golden light covered her. He then brought Shan Gao, who was sleeping outside the door, in and covered him. The two of them and the beast disappeared in the City Lord's Mansion in the blink of an eye.

Late in the evening, Pei Rong arrived at the courtyard where the brother and sister lived. The courtyard was very quiet. A few servants were afraid of disturbing the guests' rest, so they stood guard at the door and did not even dare to chat.

Seeing their young master, the followers quickly stood up to greet him. One of them whispered, "Since noon, the two distinguished guests have been quiet and have not come out to walk around. They must be too tired and are still resting." Pei Rong nodded, glanced at the sky, thought for a while, and went into the yard. The two doors were closed. He remembered the room where Wei Qinglan lived, so he came to the door and knocked lightly, "Brother Yun."

No one in the house answered.

He shouted twice again, but there was still no movement in the room. He was a martial artist, and his sense of smell and hearing were sharper than ordinary people. He felt something was wrong and it didn't look like there was anyone in the room. He reached out and pushed, and sure enough, the door opened, and there was no one inside.

He was puzzled and called next door, "Miss Yun?"

Still no one answered.

He pushed open the door without hesitation, and sure enough, there was no one inside. He turned around and asked the servant, "Didn't you say that someone was resting? Where is the person? Where did he go?"

"Ah? No one?" The servants were also puzzled and looked at each other, "We have been guarding outside the courtyard, and no one has left!"

"Are you sure you didn't fall asleep due to laziness?" Pei Rong asked.

"Absolutely not, sir! You are very observant!" the three said in unison.

Pei Rong frowned and walked into Jiang Lisheng's room first. He saw that only the bed was a little messy, and the rest was intact, which showed that someone had slept in the bed. He then came to Wei Qinglan's room. No one had slept in the bed, and the rest of the furnishings were intact, except for the desk, where there were extra things. He walked to the desk and saw a fist-sized night pearl and a rectangular box with a letter underneath.

He was stunned for a moment, took the thing away and picked up the letter.

After reading it, he was surprised and opened the long box. Inside was a box of Dongzhu. The tribute from the palace might not be as good as this box of quality. He closed the box, read the letter again, stood quietly for a moment, took the things and the letter, walked out of the room and went to see his parents.

City Lord Pei and his wife were waiting in the reception room for Pei Rong to call the brother and sister for dinner. The kitchen had received a tip at noon, so they worked even harder in the evening. As they had plenty of time, the dinner was even more sumptuous than the lunch.

Seeing Pei Rong coming back alone, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but ask: "Is he still resting? Isn't he going to have dinner?"

Pei Rong's expression was neither good nor bad. He pursed his lips and handed the letter to the two of them, "Father, Mother, please read the letter first!"

Mrs. Pei was puzzled, "What letter?"

City Lord Pei reached out to take it, and Madam Pei moved closer to look at it with him. After a moment, the two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Unexpectedly, the two were not from the Yun family, but were from the Xianmen. They were from the same sect as a member of the Yun family. For convenience, they traveled with the jade token of the Yun family. They also did not expect to meet the Pei family in Hexin City. As they could not refuse their kindness, they could only come to their house to bother them. However, they did not dare to disturb them too much, so they left a letter and attached an apology gift, wishing that the Pei family would prosper and that Mr. Pei would be a hero and find a good match.

The last sentence was to tell them clearly that after knowing the engagement between the Pei family and the Yun family, he felt that he could not continue to disturb and get involved, so as not to ruin the marriage, so he left without saying goodbye.

The entire reception room was silent for a while, and you could hear a pin drop. The only sound was Mrs. Pei's continuous breathing.

After a while, City Lord Pei sighed and said to Pei Rong, "No wonder he has such outstanding appearance and words and deeds, he is actually from the Immortal Sect. It's no wonder that when I heard that someone from the Yun family was entering the city, I hurriedly asked you to invite them. Now I almost made a mistake."
