135: Shelter

Nan Qingyue watched from afar as Wang Yi walked away; her brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked conflicted.

Li Changfeng turned back and noticed something was off with Nan Qingyue.

"What's wrong? Qingyue, what are you thinking about?" Li Changfeng asked curiously.

At this moment, Nan Qingyue hesitated, looking slightly stunned.

After a long while, Nan Qingyue finally spoke her mind.

"Master, do we really have to pin all our hopes on this person?" Nan Qingyue sighed heavily.

Just then, Zhang Yun stood quietly to the side; he felt that he couldn't afford to offend either of the two people before him—they were definitely formidable characters.

Zhang Yun could not afford to offend either of them!

"Qingyue, you need to understand one thing: this isn't pinning our hopes on him, but choosing to trust him." Li Changfeng feigned profoundness.

"Wang Yi has already been driven to a dead end by Mulan Manor, so the best we can do is give him a helping hand."

"Wang Yi will definitely obtain the Seven-Colored Powder, rest assured."

A gleam of light flashed in Li Changfeng's eyes, and he appeared very confident.

After a long while, Li Changfeng looked up and glanced at the bright moon.

"Yes, Master, this Disciple understands." Nan Qingyue was obedient and nodded gently.

Zhang Yun followed to the side, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Alright, let's go; let's find a place to rest first." Li Changfeng stretched.

Having gone through such an ordeal, Li Changfeng was also a bit tired; it would naturally be good to rest for a while.

"But, Sir, what do you plan to do next? Just now, the two of you posed as assassins from the Gao Family, and the Host, Lord Wang, will definitely come searching for you. Yizhou is no longer safe for you two." Zhang Yun gasped, trying hard to calm himself down.

Immediately, Zhang Yun said this as a reminder.

"Indeed, we posed as Gao Family assassins, and those people from Mulan Manor will not let us off." Li Changfeng nodded.

Hearing this, Nan Qingyue gasped, feeling quite helpless.

Who knew things would turn out like this?

If there's a chance, we must escape from here.

"Master, what should we do then? If we continue to stay in Yizhou, those people from Mulan Manor will definitely come looking for trouble! By then, we won't have any options left." Nan Qingyue's face darkened, feeling quite helpless.

Li Changfeng lowered his head in thought, trying to come up with a plan as well.

Zhang Yun suggested at this moment, "Why don't we leave Yizhou first? Lord Wang mistakenly believes that I was the one who intercepted the assassins to save him."

"Perhaps Mulan Manor thinks I'm already dead."

"If I continue to appear before them, I will definitely be exposed!"

Zhang Yun felt some lingering fear; after all, those people from Mulan Manor were not to be trifled with.

If he were discovered, Zhang Yun certainly wouldn't have a good ending.

Just then, Li Changfeng nodded gently. "How about this, Zhang Yun, you leave Yizhou first. I still have matters to attend to in Yizhou. Once they are done, you should leave quickly and never return to Yizhou."

"But, Sir, my Pharmacy is still in Yizhou. If I just leave like this, there's nothing I can do." Zhang Yun was somewhat unwilling.

After all, he had struggled for most of his life in Yizhou; it was inevitable that Zhang Yun would feel pained to just give it up.

"I'm telling you, what time do you think it is? Why are you still thinking about your shop?" Nan Qingyue snorted coldly, feeling quite helpless.

"You're about to die!"

"If you don't leave Yizhou, if the people from Mulan Manor don't kill you, the Gao Family will hunt you down!"

"After all, you have been dragged into that conspiracy!"

Nan Qingyue stated the consequences, purely to make Zhang Yun leave Yizhou.

This way, it could be considered self-preservation.

Zhang Yun had helped them after all; leaving him to fend for himself would not be the right thing to do.

"Sir, I understand. In that case, I will leave now." Zhang Yun's face was grim, and he sighed heavily.

Zhang Yun felt quite helpless; if there were any other way, why would he leave this place?

After all, Zhang Yun had struggled in Yizhou for most of his life, but leaving at this time might actually be a good thing for him.

At the very least, Zhang Yun could go out and clear his mind; the things he had experienced recently were indeed too distressing.

"Alright, that's settled. Zhang Yun, leave as soon as possible." Li Changfeng wore a serious expression, his demeanor calm regarding this matter.

As long as Li Changfeng and Nan Qingyue were not discovered by the Gao Family, everything could continue to be faked normally.

"Sir, Miss, farewell! If there is a next life, I will definitely come to repay this kindness." Zhang Yun cupped his hands and bowed respectfully.

These were Zhang Yun's heartfelt words; he felt grateful to Li Changfeng.

"Pah, pah, pah, what next life? You should just focus on living well in the present. If you really want to repay us, just make good money for us to spend. You have no idea, we are dirt poor." Nan Qingyue sighed.

The dignified Young Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect had no money while traveling.

Even the money he had on him was obtained by pawning stolen goods.

This was probably the most miserable Young Sect Leader ever.

"Alright, Miss is absolutely right!" Zhang Yun nodded vigorously.

"Alright, once it gets light out, it won't be easy for you to leave. You'd better take advantage of the current time and leave quickly. I have a feeling we will meet again soon." Li Changfeng smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Zhang Yun nodded vigorously and bowed once more.

After leaving this time, Zhang Yun didn't know when he would see Li Changfeng again.

"Farewell!" After bidding farewell, Zhang Yun immediately turned around and headed straight for the city gate.

Zhang Yun needed to get out of the city as soon as possible; if he were discovered by the Gao Family, only death would await him.

Nan Qingyue watched Zhang Yun's departing back and sighed heavily.

After going through this ordeal, there were only two of them left again.

"Master, shall we go too?" Nan Qingyue asked curiously.

"Yes, let's go too, but we need to think about where it would be safer to go first." Li Changfeng lowered his head, deep in thought.

After tonight, Yizhou would not be peaceful.

The people from Mulan Manor would take action against the Gao Family.

Under such circumstances, it would be quite difficult for Li Changfeng to keep Nan Qingyue out of it.

"Indeed, as large as Yizhou is, I fear there is no place left for us to stay." Nan Qingyue shook her head helplessly.

Just then, Li Changfeng's eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

"I've got it! Let's go to the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city first and stay there for a while, waiting for Wang Yi to obtain the Seven-Colored Powder." Li Changfeng's eyes lit up; he already had a plan.
