C512 peony wilting (1/2)
”Oh?” Mu Ru Yue pulled him up, a little curious. One had to know that this youth had never known who the person was, and only knew that he was the medicine man's younger brother. Other than that, nothing else was known.
”My name is Green Lin.” The youth said.
”Qilin?”
The teenager nodded. He looked in the direction of the flames and said in a sorrowful voice, ”My home is no longer here, and my elder brother is no longer here either. Elder Sister Wangfei, I only have one person left. ” The youth said.
When the youth spoke, there was no panic, only sadness. That look also made people's hearts ache. Mu Ru Yue rubbed the youth's head and said, ”Qinglin and I will be your family from now on. I will bring you to the capital.”
Mu Ru Yue's words left Qing Lin slightly surprised. ”Princess, you don't plan on leaving me behind? I already remember. ”
”Why did I leave you behind?” Mu Ru Yue asked back with a smile. Then, she pinched his face and pulled his hand, saying to everyone, ”Let's go.”
Feng Qing glanced at the youth. Although he felt that it wasn't right, he didn't say anything in the end. Because they had lost their carriages, it was difficult for them to walk, especially in the dark of the night.
”Wangfei, look!” As everyone walked forward, they heard Yun'er's voice, filled with pleasant surprise. When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she looked over to see Yun'er looking at the Peony City in the distance.
At this moment, the crowd could only vaguely make out a few of the huge buildings in Peony City. At this moment, in the sky above Peony City, the petals began to gather, as if a flower god had descended into the mortal world. These petals flew up from the ground.
Was this the legendary peony withering away?
The petals of the peony flew in the air, as if dancing the last dance for their own end.
Mu Ru Yue felt that she would probably never be able to forget this scene in her life. Peony splendor, worthy of its reputation.
”I never thought that after we left the city, we would still have the chance to see the legendary peony withering away.” Mu Ru Yue sighed.
”If I watch it from the city, it would be even better!” Yun'er whispered.
Even Tao Er, who disliked Mu Ru Yue, didn't have any other thoughts other than to look at the sky above the Peony City. Then, she looked at the crown prince beside him, her face turning red. If one day, she and His Highness could come here alone and see such a scene, it would be great.
The crowd stood here for a while, then left.
At the same time, on the mountain outside Peony City.
The young master of the Godly Artisan Sect was lazily sitting in front of the mountain gate. There were quite a number of disciples looking at their own martial uncle. They didn't know what their martial uncle was waiting for. At the door, there was even a carriage.
After waiting for a long time, the green bamboo did not see anyone coming and could not help but laugh. He kicked the carriage into the snake den and said indifferently, ”It seems like those people are not prepared to ask for help.” In this case, it was all a waste of my effort.
He had underestimated those people.
”Alright, we're back.”
Green Bamboo's words caused the people who were waiting here to be even more confused. Since their own martial uncle had already said this, who would dare disobey? Everyone kept quiet and returned to the Blacksmith's Gate with the green bamboo.
When a group of people were walking on the official road while riding a horse carriage, how would they feel?
Under the scorching sun, as Mu Ru Yue walked on this official road that was devoid of people, she felt as though her entire being wasn't well. Ever since last night, they had been walking towards places with people, but they couldn't do anything about it … After walking for an entire night, they did not even see an inn.
It was only then that Mu Ru Yue remembered that there wouldn't be an inn on the last day of travel. Everyone near Peony City had already been captured and taken as slaves! The only inn was the one owned by Hong Sanniang of the Void Valley.
