After Qin Anwu finished a bowl of wine and ate half a roasted chicken and a whole roasted duck, he saw that Qin You still hadn't finished her half roasted chicken. He said menacingly, "If you don't finish eating, you can't come into the mountains with me."
Her eyes widened, and she quickly took two bites, but it was still only a tiny bit left. Seeing him staring at her, she said with a forced smile, "Young Master, I'm full."
Seeing her expression, Qin Anwu decisively turned around and started packing his belongings, saying, "Hurry up and finish eating. We'll leave as soon as you're done."
Looking at Qin Anwu's back, Qin You revealed a brilliant smile. "Young Master, actually, your angry expression isn't scary at all... Hmm, it's even a little cute."
This girl, in a good mood, even jokes around.
Qin Anwu still didn't look at her, packing his items as he asked, "Can you ride a horse by yourself?" As his personal maid, she used to frequently ride horses to deliver resources. Now, with one arm gone, it was hard to say.
Qin You asked in surprise, "Young Master, aren't you coming?"
He snapped back, "If I don't go, how will you know where to go?"
Her eyes widened. "There's only one horse... Oh, oh, Young Master means for this servant to control it from the front?"
Qin Anwu was speechless. An Immortal Emperor meeting mortals, it's simply impossible to communicate.
"Just tell me if you can control it or not."
"I should be able to."
"Then ride it first. If you can't, we'll talk."
If he needed a horse, there were plenty at the Eagle Gang's place; he could just lead another one.
While Qin Anwu was packing, Qin You was chattering away, constantly moving things from the kitchen to where he was. "Pots, bowls, scoops, basins, blankets, fire stones, staples, oil, salt, knives, mallets, chopsticks... Oh, chopsticks aren't needed, we can make them from bamboo. Wooden sticks too. And when Young Master helps me heal my arm, I'll make them myself."
"Young Master wants to cultivate, and also wants to teach me to cultivate. We'll need a lot of medicinal herbs. Later, if we don't have a source of money, we'll have to go into the mountains to find herbs... Digging for herbs requires a pickaxe, so we need to bring one."
"And black lanterns, black oil lanterns... We'll need about three or four of those. And the saddlebag, it can only hold two more things..." Her rambling continued, making the long journey seem even longer. Qin Anwu looked at her and smiled bitterly, sighing inwardly. This girl is truly making trouble for me. The Innate Storage Space is actually the Innate Spiritual Heaven and Earth. There's not that much space. Only things related to cultivation or spiritual items can be stored.
She has so many miscellaneous things. There are so many things to bring. It's so annoying. However, if they truly have to survive, they really can't carry less than what she's bringing. It's truly too inconvenient to live outside.
"Young Master, don't say that you will go. Let's go to the Happy Valley." She laughed. "What does it mean to be good? It means you have a good disposition."
The setting sun cast its light on her. She was currently riding the horse on the main road outside the city governor's estate. She was skilled at controlling the horse, riding towards the city. Qin Anwu followed her on foot.
Looking at her riding ahead, Qin Anwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was constantly looking back, giggling foolishly, then urging the horse to chase after him...
Meanwhile, in a small courtyard of the city governor's estate, a thin old man sat on a chair in the main hall. "It's true. Du Xikun and his brothers are dead. The Eagle Gang is wiped out."
"He's a complete idiot? Why did he suddenly turn into a useless person, an idiot? He was clearly the same as before, but his actions were so strange."
"He was the same as before. His fighting style was still intact. It's just that when he arrived, he found that the Eagle Gang's Du Xikun was a Ninth Realm martial artist, and he hadn't escaped yet."
"It's possible," the old man said after thinking for a while. "He didn't find the head of the team and the small team leader that he was looking for. Therefore, he didn't dare to lie."
"How could they escape? They were supposed to be dead..." Manager Wang, the frail old man, stood up from his kneeling position, his eyebrows furrowed. "Thank you, Master. Are you going to the city governor's estate...?"
"Everything is already in my heart. This person is not simple. It's very difficult to deal with him," the old man said calmly, pondering. He's so cunning. If I had sent her earlier, it would have been easier. But now it's too late.
"You are only a Ninth Realm, but you destroyed my Eagle Gang and killed my brothers, causing me to lose my power. Why don't I bring my people and kill you right away? But I didn't. Instead, I stood there, motionless, like a wooden block. You are not a fool. You should understand that I am not hostile towards you. You should know what I am talking about. And he just needs to capture the old man and the people, and he will have money, resources, and everything else. It will be easy. Why did he not do that? And why did he say that he will not go to the city governor's estate today? It means he will not touch the city governor's estate for the time being. If he wants to, he can deal with it later. So, that means he is not hostile towards me, and he wants to reconcile."
The old man also smiled bitterly. He had fought a dozen battles, and he knew how to gauge the opponent's strength.
"This person is indeed a very good fighter, but he is a Ninth Realm. He killed the Eighth Realm. If he were a Sixth Realm, it would be difficult to deal with him."
"No, you don't need to hunt for big game. You just need to bring a few people to the place where I told you to go and find some medicinal herbs." The old man said calmly. "And if you want to cultivate, it's not simply about mixing things together."
"No, you don't need to go. Just follow my orders."
The old man stood up and walked out of the room. He left the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, the air was heavy with dark clouds. The pressure from the city governor's estate hung over everyone. Each person's face was solemn.
Qin Anwu's appearance had caused a stir in the city governor's estate. The news hadn't spread yet. As soon as Qin Anwu left the house, the people sent by the city governor's estate gathered in the courtyard. All of them were scared. The people who were acting normally were those who were already sick. They looked as if they had just woken up from a dream. Those people were usually discarded, like sick animals, but now they were acting strange.
He had poisoned her, but he didn't kill her. He still made her beautiful. He was truly cruel and ruthless. This was because most of them had been discarded by the city governor's estate and were now being treated in an unexpectedly good way. This was why they were surprised.
In the end, she didn't doubt him. She just thought that his anger was because she still called him Young Master. He was already the Immortal Emperor, and he already had the power of the Nine Heavenly Realms. He didn't need to be called Young Master. So, he wasn't really angry. He just cursed her, as if he was cursing a dog.
After the scolding, he looked at her. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were bright. She was very happy.
