Chapter 44 Return to Seven Heroes Town, Turbulence Rises Again
The caravan changed direction and embarked once again on the long, dusty road.
This time, however, the atmosphere within the team was completely different from when they arrived.
The burly man with the bushy beard and his companions all became taciturn, barely daring to breathe while traveling.
They always instinctively avoided that magnificent carriage, as if the person sitting inside was not a stunning beauty, but a monstrous beast capable of devouring hearts.
Yang Qian, on the other hand, was perfectly content to enjoy the treatment of a "prisoner" in the carriage.
Lianxing seemed to have a good impression of him, or perhaps out of guilt for the incident that night, she would always find various excuses to chat with him.
"Young Master Yang, are your injuries truly healed?"
Lianxing blinked her big, curious eyes at Yang Qian, who was closing his eyes to meditate.
"That's about it." Yang Qian opened his eyes and smiled at her.
He knew that although the Second Palace Master was in the Flower Palace, a place that devoured people without spitting out their bones, she still retained a rare kindness and innocence in her heart.
Therefore, his attitude towards Lianxing was much gentler than his attitude towards Yaoyue.
"Your technique is so strange."
Lianxing couldn't help but ask, "I've never seen anyone cultivate while unconscious, and even... absorb other people's internal energy..."
When she mentioned the word "suck," her cheeks flushed slightly as she recalled the strange and embarrassing scene of the three of them tightly embracing each other that night.
"Well..."
Yang Qian scratched his head and began his new performance, "It's all that damned 'Wedding Dress Divine Skill' that's to blame!"
He said with a bitter and resentful expression:
"When Senior Yan Nantian passed on his power to me, he told me that this divine skill is extremely domineering. Once you start practicing it, you will lose control of your own body! Especially when you encounter someone with higher power and a similar skill attribute, you will uncontrollably develop an instinct to devour them!"
He perfectly shifted the blame for his own bizarre energy-absorbing technique to this equally unreasonable "Wedding Dress Divine Skill".
"Huh? That's so domineering?"
Lianxing listened, completely stunned.
"yes!"
Yang Qian sighed deeply, saying with a helpless expression, "That's why I've been chased by the Heavenly Sword Sect! It's because I accidentally absorbed the power of one of their elders!"
"So that's how it is..." Lianxing suddenly realized.
She believed Yang Qian's words to a great extent.
After all, the legendary "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" does indeed have such evil and domineering characteristics, and Yang Qian's explanation perfectly answered her doubts.
"Then...won't you be in great danger from now on?"
Lianxing looked at him with some worry.
"yes."
Yang Qian gave a wry smile:
"That's why I'm so eager to find Senior Yan Nantian's treasure! It's said that the treasure contains not only immense wealth and countless divine martial arts manuals, but also a supreme cultivation method that can perfectly restrain and transform the domineering true energy of the 'Wedding Dress Divine Skill'! Only by obtaining that cultivation method can I truly control this power and prevent an accident like that night from spiraling out of control again!"
Yang Qian once again threw out a huge bait that neither Yaoyue nor Lianxing could refuse.
Sure enough, Yaoyue, who had been resting with her eyes closed as if she didn't care about their conversation at all, had her long eyelashes tremble slightly when she heard "the supreme mental method of restraining and transforming the 'Wedding Dress Divine Skill'".
The power of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" is even greater than that of the "Mingyu Skill," but its only drawback is that it is difficult to control.
If there really were a cultivation method that could perfectly counter it... wouldn't that mean that this number one demonic art in the world would become flawless?!
Yaoyue's heart burned with passion once more!
She became even more determined to obtain the so-called Yan Nantian Treasure!
……
The return journey was much smoother than the way there.
With Grandmaster-level expert Yaoyue present, any ignorant bandits or ferocious beasts in the desert would flee far away upon sensing that chilling and terrifying aura.
Seven days later, the caravan finally emerged safely from the vast desert known as the Sea of Death.
When they saw the familiar green mountains in the distance, the burly man with the bushy beard and his men were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes.
They survived!
They survived!
The burly man with a thick beard walked respectfully to the carriage and bowed deeply towards the inside.
"Young Master Yang, Eldest Miss, Second Miss. We've reached the border of Nanyang Prefecture. This is the last I can take you. Thank you all so much for saving my life! I will never forget your kindness!"
Yang Qian's gentle voice came from inside the carriage:
"Brother Wang, you're too kind. We've been very fortunate to have your help along the way."
As he spoke, a small, heavy money bag was tossed out of the car window.
We have all the martial arts novel genres you like. Welcome to visit our site.
"This little bit of silver is nothing but a token of my appreciation; consider it my treat for drinks with my brothers."
The burly man with the bushy beard took the money bag, opened it, and found it full of gold leaves!
He and his partners couldn't earn this much money even after working hard for half a year on a single business trip!
"This...this, Young Master Yang, this is too much! We can't accept it!"
The burly man with the bushy beard hurriedly tried to return the money bag.
"Take it."
Yang Qian said calmly, "Don't take this road again, it's too dangerous."
The burly man with the bushy beard was deeply moved upon hearing this; he knew the other person cared about them.
He stopped refusing, put the money bag into his pocket, and then kowtowed heavily to the carriage!
"Young Master Yang, your kindness is beyond words! If you ever need our help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask! We'll go through fire and water for you!"
After saying this, he and his men left, expressing their deepest gratitude.
Watching the caravan's departing figures, Lianxing asked with some curiosity:
"Young Master Yang, why are you so kind to them?"
"It's fate that we met by chance," Yang Qian said with a smile.
Although he was decisive in killing, that was only towards his enemies.
He still held a sliver of kindness towards these ordinary people struggling at the very bottom of society.
Perhaps it was because they reminded him of himself in his past life, or perhaps it was because they reminded him of his equally kind sister-in-law.
"Let's go too."
Inviting the Moon's cold voice interrupted Yang Qian's thoughts.
The carriage started up again and sped off towards Qixia Town.
……
Three days later, a small town that looked ordinary but exuded an eerie tranquility finally came into their view.
——Seven Heroes Town!
I'm back! Looking at the familiar town gate, Yang Qian felt an indescribable surge of excitement and trepidation as he returned home.
He has been gone for more than a month. I wonder how his sister-in-law is doing?
Did she eat properly?
Did you get a good night's sleep?
And Qian Si, that dog he personally raised, did he manage Qixia Town well?
Have you encountered any problems?
Yang Qian's heart was filled with countless questions and worries.
The carriage did not stop at the town gate, but drove straight in, slowly entering the main street of Qixia Town.
The streets were bustling with people, creating a prosperous scene.
However, Yang Qian keenly noticed that although the shops and people walking on both sides of the street wore smiles, there was a subtle sense of awe and fear hidden behind those smiles.
Moreover, you can hardly see a single martial arts practitioner carrying a sword or knife on the streets.
This is very abnormal!
Just a month ago, this place was a melting pot of all sorts of people, a gathering place for all kinds of monsters and demons.
How come it's become so "clean" now?
What exactly did Qian Si do?
Yang Qian frowned slightly.
The carriage traveled smoothly all the way and soon arrived at the most magnificent Li Mansion in the center of town.
However, the plaque at the entrance of the mansion had been changed. It was no longer the ostentatious Li Xiaowei Mansion, but an ordinary Yang Mansion.
Two rows of men dressed in black, exuding a fierce aura, stood at the entrance.
When they saw the magnificent carriage approaching, they were taken aback at first, and then their faces showed a look of vigilance.
The leader of the small gang immediately stepped forward and stopped the carriage.
"Halt! This is forbidden area of the Yang residence! All unauthorized personnel, leave immediately!"
His voice was loud and authoritative.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a familiar figure tumbled and crawled out of the mansion!
It was Qian Si!
He recognized the style of the carriage at a glance!
This is the carriage the master rode in when he left!
The master is back!
"stop!!"
Qian Si let out a terrified scream!
He rushed up to the leader and, without thinking, slapped him hard across the face!
"You fucking blind idiot! Do you even know who's in that car?! That's our God!!"
As he cursed, he kicked the dazed leader to the ground.
Then he straightened his clothes and knelt down in front of the carriage with the most devout and respectful posture!
"Your subordinate, Qian Si, welcomes Master back to the manor!!"
His voice, filled with excitement and fervor, echoed throughout the quiet street!
