Chapter 1 Ming Escapes

Ming escaped.

Although her escape was a little disheveled, a little ungraceful,

she really did escape.

"They think they can catch me! They think they can catch me!"

Ming, lost in the forest, roared with impotent rage, then suddenly laughed again, a loud laugh, a wild laugh, a mad laugh! Only when her voice was hoarse and she was completely exhausted did she restrain her emotions and return to her usual gentleness and sweetness.

Smiling lightly in the forest, dancing with butterflies, singing in unison with birds, she, blind in both eyes, was like a fairy fallen from the sky, full of ethereal charm.

Suddenly, she stopped moving, tilted her head, looked at the high sky, and burst into a sweet smile.

"I can't die yet, how can I die? The [Li Fan] quest is not yet complete, why should I die? What do you say?"

Rumble!

A bolt from the blue, thunder and lightning flashed.

Above her head, the clouds that were originally just white clouds suddenly turned gray, black, and turned into dark clouds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Rumble!!

Another thunderclap, the dark clouds seemed to be brewing something, incompatible with the surrounding white clouds, drifting against the wind in a certain direction.

"Oh? Isn't that... the direction of Qing Si County?"

"Interesting, interesting, but it has nothing to do with me."

Although her eyes were blind, Ming seemed to see everything, smiling and retracting her 'gaze', her ears twitched twice, and she suddenly picked up a stone by the roadside, aimed it at her right leg, and smashed it down a few times with force.

Blood splattered out, and even some of the white bone inside was exposed before she stopped, throwing the blood-stained stone far away. She cleared her throat, controlled her expression, put on a delicate, helpless, and pitiful look, and shouted with a sob, "Help... help! Someone save me!"

The sound spread out.

Before long, a very luxurious carriage came from afar and stopped beside Ming.

A gentle, refined, scholar-dressed handsome young master asked with concern, "Miss, do you need help?"

"Ye-yes, I do! Thank you, young master..."

Ming's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, like a shy little girl, her cheeks already flushed, making people...drool!

"So beautiful!"

The young master's breath stagnated, his face flushed slightly, and he bowed and said, "My name is Nian Wushuang. I know a little about medicine. If the girl doesn't mind, you can travel with me. I'll treat your injuries, and when you get to the next village, you can rest well."

"Young... Young Master Nian!"

Ming's blind eyes slowly overflowed with tears: "Apart from my parents, Young Master Nian is the first good person I've met!"

"You're too kind, miss..."

Saying that, Nian Wushuang was already helping Ming into the carriage.

The carriage continued on, quickly moving away from the place.

"What is the girl's name?"

"My name is Ming, Ming of Gu Ming, the fortune teller said that I am destined to be lonely in this life."

Saying that, Ming made a gesture to wipe away tears, but Nian Wushuang gently wiped them away with a handkerchief first.

"I think the girl's Ming is the Ming of birds singing, with a voice like heavenly music, and a person like a celestial being. It is a Ming that will amaze the world."

Ming's movements stiffened slightly, and she excitedly reached out to touch Nian Wushuang's face with tears in her eyes, but suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"Young... Young Master Nian, no one has ever praised me like this. Can I touch your face?"

"Of course!"

When Ming's cold little hand touched his face, Nian Wushuang softly asked, "I wonder why the girl has fallen to this state?"

Ming's tears flowed out again, and she stuttered for a long time before uttering two words: night thieves.

"So, it was the night thieves who caused the destruction of your family!"

Nian Wushuang clenched his fists, his face full of indignation: "Miss Ming, don't worry, when I go to the capital to resume my duties, I will definitely report this matter and eradicate all the night thieves in the world, and restore peace and prosperity to the people!"

Ming was stunned: "Young... Young Master Nian is..."

"Wen Shu, the newly promoted [Wen Shu] of the [Red Division] in the capital!"

…

Qing Si County.

"We need external support!"

Tian Erjun paced anxiously back and forth in the hall, lacking the composure a Qing Yi should have.

It was nothing more than the fact that the scale of this incident was beyond the scope of what Qing Yi could handle.

"External support? If we want to invite external support, who should we invite?" Fang Yue asked strangely.

"Of course, people from the [Red Division]! The Phoenix Organization should have been their responsibility in the first place! Their claws have already reached into our [Black Green Mountains], and they are still turning a blind eye in the capital!"

You Sisi said in a cold voice, her eyes flashing with cold light, as if she didn't like this [Red Division] very much.

"If people from the [Red Division] come, they will have to send at least one [Wen Shu]-level person to take charge!" Tian Erjun quickly added.

"I don't know, anyway, this matter should be the [Red Division]'s business. They can decide how many people to send and what level of people to send! We just need to report the matter!" You Sisi said with a slightly impatient tone.

Fang Yue glanced strangely at Tian Erjun, who spread his hands and lowered his voice.

"You Sisi is from the You family in the capital. The [You family] is a staunch Qing Si faction, and they don't like the [Red Division]'s lip service and inaction... well, I can't say this nonsense. In short, the You family, including You Sisi, all dislike the [Red Division] very much."

"My ears aren't deaf!"

Mentioning the [Red Division], You Sisi's temper obviously deteriorated a lot.

Fang Yue could understand her. Not everyone can have a good temper towards people or things they hate, even if it's just someone mentioning it. As long as she treats others normally, that's fine. After all, even water has its own temper.

"You Sisi, calm down. Aren't we discussing this? Besides, didn't Lord Jun say before that the Qing Si branch is closer to us? Even the closest branch of the [Red Division] is tens of thousands of miles away. How could they possibly make it in time to support our Qing Si County?"

"So, we're just helping them clean up the [Red Division]'s mess??"

You Sisi suddenly turned her head, her voice suddenly rising. Seeing Fang Yue looking a little surprised, she quickly restrained herself, her cheeks slightly hot.

"I, I didn't mean to shout at you..." Taking a deep breath, You Sisi said, "In short, the more support, the better. What I mean is that the [Red Division] should also send people. No matter how far away they are, they should send someone here."

After speaking, You Sisi originally wanted to return to her seat, but suddenly stopped, not knowing what she was thinking. Her cheeks were flushed, but her expression was forcibly blank, and she suddenly sat down in the seat next to Fang Yue.

The others were stunned for a moment, but no one spoke. Only Tian Erjun took over the topic at this time.

"You Sisi is the chief Qing Yi, I have no objection to her proposal. I will definitely send someone to notify the [Red Division]."

At this point, the issue of the [Red Division] was considered to be over. You Sisi seemed to be satisfied with the result, and didn't mention it again, only lowering her voice and saying, "...Just now...I didn't mean to..."
