Chapter 95 - I Feel Pity
Edited by Ea
Now, however, it doesn’t matter whether he is actually a white crow or not.
He’s as white as his own clothes because he’s in women’s clothes now.
The women’s eyes were all friendly, not only friendly, but envious.
A little girl asked timidly: “Swordswoman, are you cultivators?”
Ling Fengxiao said: “Yes.”
The little girl said: “Our family doesn’t allow us to take the exam.”
Ling Fengxiao asked: “Why?”
“We can’t take the test.”
Ling Fengxiao said: “All people in the world can participate in the Shangling Examinations.”
The girl said: “My father said we can’t show our faces in public.”
Ling Fengxiao was quiet, and then said: “Do you want to go?”
The girl said: “I want to.”
The female relatives all looked at Ling Fengxiao again.
Ling Fengxiao said: “I can rescue you out, but after you go out, you won’t be able to be noblewomen again.”
Someone said: “We know.”
Someone also hid their faces and said: “But what can we do?”
Ling Fengxiao did not speak, and stretched out a hand.
A butterfly stopped on her hand. The color was as red as blood, and it was even scorched.
Lin Shu recognized the butterfly. When he was in the ghost town at the beginning, Big Miss found their party and Ling Baoqing with the “Phoenix Butterfly”.
Later, Big Miss also explained to him.
This butterfly is only owned by Phoenix Mountain Villa.
Phoenix Mountain Villa accommodates orphaned girls from all over the world. Those who can learn martial arts learn martial arts, while those who can’t learn martial arts help out in shops and banks in the villa. The world is dangerous, and women are even more disadvantaged, so everyone in the villa uses incense. There is a flavor in the incense, which is taken from the fairy plant in the back mountain of the villa. It is very special and can be perceived by the phoenix butterfly. It can be tracked even if it is hundreds of miles away.
In this way, the villa is not afraid of the girls disappearing or encountering accidents—if anyone dares to attack the women of Phoenix Mountain Villa, they can be traced wherever they fled. With the force of the villa, this person will naturally not end well.
Thus, the Phoenix Butterfly became one of the symbols of the villa.
He listened to Ling Fengxiao saying indifferently: “After you escape, you can make a living on your own, or you can enter the villa. If you can practice martial arts and cultivate immortality, you can enter the sect. If you can’t, if you are good at needlework, you will be sent to the embroidery workshop. The hostess of each room will preside over the duties all the year round. You can also go to work at the bank. In any case, there is always a place to go, but it will be much more laborious than before.”
Phoenix Mountain Villa.
These women have obviously heard of it.
Madam’s voice trembled a little, and said: “We are willing.”
Ling Fengxiao: “En.”
Madam asked again: “Then...will anyone trace our identity?”
Ling Fengxiao said: “Yes.”
Madam said: “What should we do?”
Ling Fengxiao’s tone was light: “The villa still has this face.”
The female family members in the carriage were all relieved.
“But,” Ling Feng Xiao looked out of the window, “Although his majesty gives us face, the villa can’t intervene in the government, so it can only save you, not other people. They are also unable to help Sima Youcheng much. Youcheng can only be saved from the death penalty, but he can’t be saved from criminal charges. I hope you’ll forgive me.”
The Madam sighed: “We don’t understand the things that happen in the palace court and can’t explain them either. It’s already a great kindness that the Phoenix Mountain Villa can protect our master and help his family.”
Ling Fengxiao stopped talking, leaned against the wall of the carriage, got closer to Lin Shu, and quietly went to hold his hand.
Lin Shu looked at the female dependents, and then thought about the girls who wanted to study in the Academy.
It’s also true that the girls in the Academy are mostly disciples from the sects of the Immortal Path, and then they come to the Academy naturally.
There were also some students who came from the common people. However, ladies of high-ranking officials, whose families forbid them from showing their faces in public like what the girl just described, really couldn’t be found.
He has been in this world for three years, and he also has some understanding about this world. Immortal cultivators have a lot to do with the mortal world, but after all they are not completely integrated. The immortals naturally have the rules of the immortal. As long as you are strong enough, no one cares whether you are a male or a female, but the mortal world still preserves the etiquette of the mortals.
——As for the situation of Xie Zishe, a girl who chooses to be an official in the court, he doesn’t know what the situation is, and probably needs further observation.
The carriage stopped.
A guard shouted outside: “Get the people out in order!”
The female families got out of the carriage one by one.
They said it was ordering people, but in fact it was only counting people. Some of the female family members didn’t even have a name, so there was no way to do it.
And the number of people was not accurate-down the road, there have been many accidents where the guards were not careful and the female relatives committed suicide. Therefore, the number of people was damaged compared to the first time. As long as the damage was not too much, it was considered passable.
Therefore, the addition of Lin Shu and Ling Fengxiao did not attract any attention.
——Well, it can’t be said that it didn’t attract any attention.
When the guard reached the two of them, he let out a meaningful “Yo”, and then elbowed his companion.
The companion also said “Ha”, approached, pinched the chin of Ling Fengxiao and looked left and right.
“What do you say?” The guard said, “Lao Qi, how much silver do you need for this one time?”
The old man who was called Old Qi also rubbed Ling Fengxiao’s face, chuckling darkly: “We can’t afford it anyways.”
“Hey.” The guard looked at Lin Shu again, “I’m willing to spend as much as long as it looks like this.”
Lin Shu has no expression on his face.
“Noble and aloof.” Old Qi also looked over.
The guard just chuckled a few times: “Noble and aloof ones — haven’t we seen our share of them?”
“Hehe.” Old Qi smiled indifferently, with one hand, he probed Ling Fengxiao’s neckline.
Lin Shu only felt that this man was going to die.
While exploring, Old Qi asked, “What’s your name?”
Ling Fengxiao smiled.
Big Miss’s face was very different from the original one. The original one was very beautiful and fierce, but this one is much softer and looks much more like a mortal.
With this smile, Old Qi was fascinated and bewitched: “You are pretty obedient.”
“Really.” Ling Fengxiao said softly.
Old Qi only thought that the beauty was teasing him: “Anyone who is obedient can suffer a lot less in the red tent — what is your name?”
Ling Fengxiao looked at him and said, “I’m afraid you don’t have the life to know.”
“Oh.” The guard looked this way, and his eyes continued to look at Lin Shu: “Both of them are very noble and aloof.”
Then he came a little closer. It seemed that he wanted to learn from Old Qi and kiss the fragrant beauty.
It’s a pity that Lin Shu isn’t actually a woman for this man to kiss, and these two people are definitely going to become cold corpses.
The next moment, he saw the red phoenix butterfly leaping up behind the guards, the color was very strange, not the one of Ling Fengxiao.
At the same time, a tent next to it suddenly burst into an earth-shattering explosion.
The fire was blazing, and women screamed one after another.
“It’s catching on fire–”
In the chaos, Identical Sorrow came out of its sheath, and pierced the chest of the two guards, one after the other.
The bodies of the two fell to the ground with a thud, still with a stunned look in their eyes.
Ling Fengxiao said coldly: “Scum.”
The fire continued to spread, the explosions continued to sound, and there was chaos. The city wall in the northwest corner broke out with an earth-shattering sound.
Ling Fengxiao hugged Lin Shu’s waist and jumped to the other side: “This way.”
Lin Shu looked at the fire, and then noticed that there were several vigorous and agile figures leaping around, taking away the Madam and other girls. They are from Phoenix Mountain Villa.
Thinking about the Phoenix butterfly again — it turned out to be a collective operation this time.
The people of the villa have already been lurking in the red tent, creating chaos, waiting for the opportunity to rescue the female dependents of Sima Youcheng.
And Big Miss was responsible for marking the location of the female relatives for the villa members to see, and she and Lin Shu can also reasonably enter the black market through this chaos.
A large gap was blown out of the northwest city wall. Ling Fengxiao led Lin Shu across the city wall. There were a dozen horses waiting under the wall.
The Big Miss turned over and rode out with Lin Shu to the north.
“Other people from the villa will lead them out, and other women in the red tent can also escape from here.” Big Miss said.
Lin Shu asked, “Will they not be traced?”
“Someone will arrange it properly.”
Lin Shu: “Okay.”
The horse galloped, and he didn’t know how long it had been. There were scattered houses and tents in front of the mountains in the distance. They were not formal buildings. They are the legendary black market.
Ling Fengxiao slammed the horse’s head with a knife handle, and the horse’s steps were immediately messed up, and the horse was about to fall to the ground. After running for about one mile, he couldn’t hold it completely and was about to collapse.
Lin Shu was hugged by Ling Fengxiao and rolled over to the nearest tent.
The people in the tent had noticed the horse a long time ago. You can only hear the sound of drawing knives, and a very strange accent: “Who is it?!”
Ling Fengxiao, half holding Lin Shu in her arms, struggled to get up from the gravel,
“Heroes, save me.”
Her voice is so delicate and her facial expression is so sad, and it looks like the real thing that he could just feel pity for her.
