Chapter 755 Night Raid (1/2)
Horse beasts with Genesis Qi rising under their hooves galloped past at lightning speed, as though soaring into the sky.
Yi Qiushui was riding a tall and strong horse beast. Her upper body was straight, and the clothes wrapped around her body revealed her slender waist, curved body and long legs.
Her appearance and elegance were extraordinary. Although Zhou Yuan was somewhat immune to her beauty because he was used to seeing Yaoyao’s ethereal beauty, in the eyes of other young masters from Xiaoxuan Province, such as Mu Chao, Yi Qiushui was undoubtedly the G.o.ddess in their hearts. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have risked offending the Qiu family to follow her.
Of course, more importantly was that the strength of the Yi family wasn’t weak at all. Although the Yi family couldn’t be compared to the Qiu family in Xiaoxuan Province, the elders of the Yi family still occupied fairly high positions in Tianyuan Region. Therefore, if they could win Yi Qiushui’s favour, it would also greatly benefit their family.
“One more day and we’ll arrive in Xuanzhou City. If Qiu Ji still hasn’t given up, then tonight is his last chance to do something,” Yi Qiushui stated, gazing into the distance.
Hearing this, Mu Zhao and the others froze for a moment.
They didn’t doubt Yi Qiushui’s judgment, because there was most likely n.o.body in Xiaoxuan Province who didn’t know about Miss Yi’s intelligence. When the Yi family first came to Xiaoxuan Province, it was precisely because of Miss Yi’s advice and plan that the Yi family achieved a stable position. If the head of the Yi family hadn’t encountered an accident, in a few years’ time, the t.i.tle of strongest family in Xiaoxuan Province would have most likely transferred from the Qiu family to the Yi family.
“With Qiu Ji’s strength, it won’t be easy for him to swallow us in one bite. I’m just worried that they’ll bring unknown reinforcements,” Yi Qiushui uttered.
Mu Chao rea.s.sured, “Almost all the forces of the Qiu family are kept in Xuanzhou City, and it’s likely that they won’t be easily deployed elsewhere. The clans and families in Xiaoxuan Province also shouldn’t dare to interfere in the affairs between the two families. I can’t think of any reason for them to help Qiu Ji.”
Yi Qiushui bit her red lips, her unwitting action incredibly alluring. It caused the gazes on her to burn even more brightly.
“No matter what, we must be on full alert tonight,” she said.
Yi Qiushui’s face was very solemn. She suddenly glanced at the back of the carriage where Zhou Yuan sat. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Zhou Yuan.
Perhaps, it was because Zhou Yuan was the first person she had met who dared to ask her for something so blatantly?
Mu Chao, who had been paying close attention to Yi Qiushui’s every movement, felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this, and asked in a joking tone of voice, “Qiushui, you aren’t taking that boy’s words seriously are you?”
The other men and women also laughed out loud one after another.
In the past few days, Zhou Yuan had undoubtedly become their top conversation topic.
Yi Qiushui smiled and retracted her gaze. She had very good self-restraint and had never laughed at Zhou Yuan, even if she doubted what he said.
“Miss, that guy hasn’t shown his face in days, and he even asked people to bring his food over,” Zhao Yue whispered. She pursed her lips. “I really feel like we invited an ancestor here.”
Yi Qiushui also couldn’t help but chuckle, “He saved Dong’er, so we really should serve him like an ancestor. It doesn’t matter.”
Zhao Yue was helpless. Most likely, if it were up to her, she would have already sent that guy away.
“Sister Yue, please remind Zhou Yuan that something may happen tonight, and we may not be able to take care of him at that time. So if he finds that the situation isn’t right, tell him to find a chance to flee,” Yi Qiushui said quietly.
If there was a great battle tonight, it would be bound to be extremely tragic. Zhou Yuan’s strength was unknown, and he was seriously injured; he really could lose his life if he wasn’t careful.
When Zhao Yue heard this, her look of helplessness worsened. But it was Yi Qiushui’s order, so she had no choice but to turn her horse around to the carriage and pa.s.s along Yi Qiushui’s words. Without waiting for Zhou Yuan’s answer, she spurred her horse away.
In the carriage.
Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes. He felt the Divine Dwellings in his body become bright and dazzling once more, flowing with majestic and powerful Genesis Qi that turned into countless s.h.i.+ning Genesis Qi stars.
All the wounds in his body had completely recovered.
He had regained all of his strength.
Moreover, he could distinctly feel that after suffering these serious injuries, his Genesis Qi and bodily strength had also somewhat improved.
“Tonight...”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed. Xuanzhou City wasn’t far away, and when he arrived, he planned to look for an opportunity to understand the specific situation in Tianyuan Region.
