Chapter 109: First Elder’s Daughter

“Deputy Master! You are back!” two servants who were assigned to keep watch on Su Liancheng heaved a sigh of relief on seeing Murong Yun.

No one liked to shadow somebody 24/7, but they had to do what they were told by the elders.

The two servants almost jumped for joy seeing Murong Yun, they quickly said goodbye to the group and reported to the elders on completion of their task.

Soon the three elders came to the gate only to see Murong Yun holding a young girl’s hand waiting in the yard, the three elders stood gazing at one another — at a loss what to do.

‘Who is this young girl? Why is she holding the Deputy Master’s hand? Deputy Master hates to be around people, how can this girl stand so close to him?’ questions prey on the three elders’ minds.

The First Elder looked Luo Qianqian up and down, he knew this young girl must be a celebrated figure in the Jianghu Underworld from her bearings.

But no one asked who she was due to various reasons.

Luo Qianqian knew they were going to compare notes so she excused herself and told Murong Yun that she was going to take a look around the village instead of following them into the hall.

“Just be careful.” Murong Yun squeezed her hand.

“Don’t worry.” Luo Qianqian winked at him.

Luo Qianqian wished she had a camera on her, Gu Village was so beautiful, it looked like a tourist spot that modern people built. Beautiful scenery, adequate infrastructure, unique-styled shops everywhere, Luo Qianqian would like to explore more in this picturesque village.

“Feng Qing can go with you, he will take care of you for me.” Murong Yun still felt anxious for Luo Qianqian’s safety.

Luo Qianqian knew Murong Yun meant well, so she didn’t turned him down, please she was used to Feng Qing’s company anyways.

Luo Qianqian didn’t take her maid Xiao Yue with her, firstly, Xiao Yue hadn’t been away from Prime Minister Manor since she was a little girl, Luo Qianqian wasn’t sure whether Xiao Yue could travel well on the carriage, it was a very bumpy road to begin with. Secondly, Luo Qianqian wasn’t entirely sure what life held in store for them in this trip, chances were they would encounter growing crisis in Gu Village, so Luo Qianqian didn’t take Xiao Yue with her.

Feng Qing had sent his people to keep an eye on Xiao Yue and Luo Pavilion before they left, Luo Qianqian knew Xiao Yue would be so much safer there than travelling with her.

Luo Qianqian wandered around in the village, she managed to find a moment of leisure in a busy life.

She walked past a restaurant and she stopped while sniffing the wine and dishes… …

How she wished she could have some wine right now! She knew she had made a fool of herself last time she had wine, but it was such a wonderful feeling, you felt like the road were made of cotton, the people around you kept playing hide and seek with you, you just felt so relaxed… …

Feng Qing saw through her, he stood in front of Luo Qianqian and said, “Your Highness, anything but this, I think you know what I mean by ‘this’.”

Luo Qianqian felt somewhat embarrassed, but she refused to give up without giving a try, “Good Feng Qing! I know I went out of control last time, but I promise you I will drink responsibly, actually you know what, you can keep an eye on me and tell me when to stop, and I promise I will listen to you. Plus I just went to Murong Yun’s place last time I got drunk, technically I didn’t make any trouble…”

Hearing that, Feng Qing failed to come up with one good talk back.

But Feng Qing was determined, ‘a no is a no! I gotta stay strong!’

“Your Highness, you heard me, anything but this.” Feng Qing looked resolute.

“All right, all right, I won’t even try to get a drink.” Luo Qianqian gave up.

“Thank you so much.” Feng Qing heaved a sigh of relief, he dread to think what Luo Qianqian would do in Gu Village if she really got drunk.

Feng Qing chose to not tell Murong Yun about Guang Yao for the sake of their relationship, Feng Qing always wanted to play it safe.

The two kept wandering around, soon they were attracted by dog barks and cats meows from a country styled home.

Hearing dog barking, Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but think about her puppy and she walked towards the country yard subconsciously.

“It looks like you like my dogs a lot, miss.”

A delightful voice rang from behind Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian turned around and thought this girl must be a good martial arts cultivator for she didn’t notice the girl’s approaching just now.

What came to Luo Qianqian’s sight was a pretty young girl in a baby pink gown, both her features and the way she dressed were very pleasant.

Luo Qianqian felt surprised that the girl’s features bore some resemblance to hers after she took a second look of the young girl.

The girl walked towards the yard with a smile, she pointed at the dogs and cats, “Welcome to my home, these are all raised by me. Would you like to have a puppy?”

“No, thank you.” Luo Qianqian shook her head subconsciously, she didn’t trust herself in raising one more puppy, it was a minor miracle that her Puppy was happy and healthy now.

But the question that why this girl looked like her preyed on her mind.

Hearing that, the girl put on a friendly smile and turned around to look at Luo Qianqian, the girl’s gaze landed on Luo Qianqian’s face mask, “I haven’t see you in my village before, are you here with the Deputy Master?”

“You are right.” Luo Qianqian was drawn by the young girl’s fragrance.

“ I am Gu Lina, may I know your name?” the girl asked.

“Luo Qianqian.”

“I just saw you pacing back and forth in front of the restaurant.” a meaningul look flashed across Gu Lina’s face, and she continued, “Do you want to join me for a few sips? Deputy Master is having a meeting with my father anyways.”

“Your father?”

“Yes, my father is the First Elder.” Gu Lina explained.

Hearing that, Luo Qianqian felt relieved, now she was convinced that it must be a coincidence that this girl looked like her.

As for her invitation, Luo Qianqian’s instinct said no, because she could feel this girl was somewhat hostile against her.
