133: Chapter 133 Escaping Yue

The tavern was small, with no other customers.

The local country wine was cloudy and naturally didn't taste good, but at this moment, it was a fine vintage.

One bowl to calm the soul, two bowls to warm the stomach, and three bowls for favorable weather and good harvests.

After a few slices of beef entered his stomach, he completely relaxed, allowing him to carefully consider the whole matter from beginning to end.

"The transmission distance of that thing should be five hundred miles at most," Xia Shaoxin said.

"Oh, how can you tell?"

"Senior Luo wanted to choose a retreat for himself; naturally, the further, the better, so this distance should be the limit."

Liu Tingting nodded: "You are quite right. This butterfly loves flower is very good, but it is a pity that it is hard to get that five poisons pill."

Xia Shaoxin said in a low voice: "Do not mention the words 'butterfly loves flower'. Avoid walls having ears; if someone finds out, it will easily cause trouble."

Liu Tingting turned her head to look behind her and said in a low voice: "There is no one next door."

Xia Shaoxin said helplessly: "You are used to speaking casually; one day you will be heard."

"Hmph, I know." Liu had to admit that what he said made sense.

"As for the five poisons pill, I will find a way."

Liu Tingting asked curiously: "Can you refine this Medicinal Pill?"

"I have studied it."

"Hee hee, that's good."

Her expression suddenly turned serious: "Will the five poisons pill you refine be for my use?"

"Of course!"

"Do you want to charge for it?"

"Free of charge, a gift!"

"You are sensible."

Xia Shaoxin drank a few more sips of wine, filled with worry.

"The two of us are wanted by the Chiyan Sect, which resulted in the Forbidden Ground of the Zhuyun Courtyard becoming famous throughout the Yue State. Coupled with the commotion from Shenji Tower, we will have no quiet days ahead."

Liu Tingting lowered her head and remained silent, her brows tightly furrowed.

"The wanted order from the Chiyan Sect is still in effect, and the three good men of the Yue State—Vice Minister Li, Gao Zao, and Ren Kan—took it upon themselves to release us. The Yue State Court must be regretting it now."

Liu Tingting put down her chopsticks: "Then let's hurry to the Tang Kingdom."

Xia Shaoxin's eyes were unfocused: "Are there no Forbidden Grounds in the Tang Kingdom?"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Liu Tingting asked timidly, biting her lip.

Looking at Xia Shaoxin, she had no airs of a Senior Sister at all, more like a Junior Sister.

Liu Tingting had been in the Chiyan Sect since she was young, and this was her first time leaving; she was so young and inexperienced.

Although she had experienced a lot in these past few months, she still appeared naive.

After all, Xia Shaoxin had suffered hardships since childhood and had traveled in the Jianghu for a longer time, and he was older than Liu Tingting; at this moment, in Liu Tingting's heart, he was as reliable as an older brother.

"In the Chiyan Sect, the Formation was activated several times, which made me miserable," Liu Tingting said with a sad face.

"Eh, this is the first time I've heard you complain. I thought you had amazing perseverance, the kind of person who could shoulder a collapsing mountain," Xia Shaoxin laughed.

Liu Tingting said seriously: "I only have the cultivation of the Middle Stage of Qi Refining, yet I had to endure such a powerful Formation. I am not wood; I was just gritting my teeth and persevering."

Xia Shaoxin said with emotion: "You have lived up to Master."

Liu Tingting lowered her head, sighed softly, thought of past events, and remained silent.

Xia Shaoxin did not want her to be too worried, so he interrupted her thoughts: "We cannot stay in the Yue State. Let's go to the Tang Kingdom, find a place to live in seclusion, okay?"

Seclusion?

Yes!

Xia Shaoxin's wishful thinking: find a place without interference, eat high-imitation Medicinal Pill every day, Cultivate to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, and then few people would be able to threaten him.

Liu Tingting frowned and said: "Do you mean to become a Loose Cultivator?"

Xia Shaoxin longed to declare that he would provide her Medicinal Pill, but in the end, he held back and didn't say it.

After all, with such a large amount of Medicinal Pill, it would be hard to explain their origin.

Moreover, he knew that Liu Tingting had excellent Aptitude; if there were no Spiritual Vein support, her Cultivate speed would certainly not be fast. To waste such a good body would be a waste of heaven's gifts; how could he bear it?

"How about we change our names and hide our identities, and not tell others our real names?" Liu Tingting had a sudden inspiration.

Xia Shaoxin smiled bitterly helplessly, recalling how Senior Brother Shao Junwei was responsible for making his identity token back then, but because he gave a fake name, it couldn't be engraved, and he was discovered immediately.

Liu Tingting did not know this at the moment, her eyes wide open.

"Let's go to the Tang Kingdom first, bury the bones of Uncle Ancestor Luo You, fulfill the request of Elder Luo Xi, and then we'll see." Xia Shaoxin could not come up with a perfect plan and chose not to think about it for now.

Mentioning the bones of Uncle Ancestor Luo You, Liu Tingting sighed: "I wonder where the corpse of Elder Luo Xi will be buried."

Xia Shaoxin said: "I guess that even if we find his corpse, perhaps he would not be willing to be buried next to his parents' graves."

Uh... Liu Tingting understood what Xia Shaoxin meant, suddenly felt a bit disgusted, and did not want to talk about this topic.

The two finished the remaining wine and food. Xia Shaoxin suggested hiding all the characteristics of Sect Disciples on them and changing into the clothes of ordinary people.

After they left the Chiyan Sect, they had already changed into the clothes of Mortals.

However, they were the clothes of rich people among Mortals, too luxurious, not like the common people.

The two found a ready-to-wear clothing store, and Xia Shaoxin bought himself a few sets of coarse cloth clothes for ordinary people.

This was a small town, and the clothing store was not big. The styles in the shop had no clothes for a Young Miss to wear; they all looked like clothes for maidservants, and he wished he could find a tailor to make some custom ones.

Xia Shaoxin warned her that they should not delay here now, and advised her to just buy a few sets of clothes from an ordinary family and not worry about looking good.

Liu Tingting had to choose a few sets of coarse cloth clothes for maidservants.

After leaving the door, the two looked at each other, both feeling very awkward.

Whose servant and maidservant ran out?

It was just that this maidservant looked too ethereal; walking in the crowd, she was really too eye-catching.

Xia Shaoxin bought another bamboo hat and persuaded Liu Tingting to cover up that overly handsome face.

They bought two horses and hurriedly set off.

The bodies of those who Cultivate are stronger than Mortals, and their temperament is also different from ordinary people; with a little attention, it can be seen.

The two had not learned the Disguise Technique and could only force themselves to pretend to look like this.

Fortunately, they traveled by day and rested by night along the way, and everything was safe and sound.

After walking for more than two months, they heard that they were only thirty miles away from the border of the Tang Kingdom, and they stopped to rest at a tea stall.

Several people rode past, then suddenly turned their horses around, came straight to the tea stall, stood in front of Xia Shaoxin, and said with a smile: "The two of you are dressed so uniquely; I almost let you slip by."

Xia Shaoxin looked closely and saw that it was actually Vice Minister Li, whom he had met once before.

A few months ago, when he was caught by Gao Zao, it was because he listened to Vice Minister Li that he was released.

In theory, he should thank him, but this person was an official of the Yue State, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Xia Shaoxin stood up and asked vigilantly: "Is Lord Li here to arrest me?"

"Heh, you know you have offended the Yue State, why haven't you left quickly?" Vice Minister Li said with a smile on his face.

Liu Tingting drew her sword and held it across her chest.

"Haha, just a joke, don't be nervous."

Vice Minister Li dismounted, bowed to the two, and walked over.

This scene confused people, and Xia Shaoxin pulled Liu Tingting back.

"Why would I arrest you? The wanted order from the Chiyan Sect has been canceled, and the Yue State is being held accountable by the various Sects; who would dare to arrest you now!"

Vice Minister Li spread his hands, stopped, and said bitterly.
