    “The Gu poison is just acting up. Hmph!”


    A certain young master hugged her even tighter with a clear conscience.


    On the way from the Feiyu Manor to Nanzhao’s Imperial Capital, they had experienced a few autumn rains. However, aftering out of Nanzhao’s Imperial Capital, the weather was good and the sun was shining brightly. They actually arrived at West City without any obstructions.


    West City was thestrge city in the south of Nanzhao. Back then, they did not have a travel pass and had really racked their brains to enter West City.


    Now that they had an official seal, they were free to go wherever they wanted. However, when they recalled their previous tizzy experience, they felt like a lifetime had passed.


    “Young Madam, what are you thinking about?” While waiting for Ping’er to settle the bill after dinner in the restaurant, Shadow Six realized that Yu Wan was in a daze.


    Yu Wan came back to her senses and said, “I’m thinking about Asura, Ah Wei, and the others. We left in a hurry this time and didn’t pass by the Nether Capital.”


    When they left the Nether Capital for the Sorcerer n, Asura and Ah Wei were in seclusion. Qing Yan and Yue Gou stayed behind to wait for them. They had left marks along the way. If they came out of seclusion, they should be able to find them.


    Yu Wan sighed. “I’m afraid that they’ll follow the mark to the Sorcerer n and end up empty-handed.”


    Shadow Sixforted him. “If they really go to the Sorcerer n, Zhou Jin will tell them that we’re already back. They are all experts. They’re very fast.”


    Yu Wan looked at the crowded street and could not help but sigh. “Thest time we passed by West City, they were all there. And now we’re back, but only the few of us are left.”


    Shadow Six said, “They’ll catch up.”


    “Yes!” Yu Wan nodded. Ping’er had finished paying the bill. “Let’s go.”


    Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen protected Yu Wan into the carriage.


    Yan Jiuchao brought the three little ck eggs to buy candied hawthorn. On a street not far away, the carriage slowly walked forward. When it passed by the entrance of an alley, it was filled with people and almost blocked their path. Yu Wan lifted the curtain. “What’s wrong?”


    “I’ll go take a look,” Shadow Thirteen said. He jumped off the carriage and squeezed into the crowd. He saw a girl who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old kneeling in front of a coffin shop, selling herself to bury her father.


    Shadow Thirteen was a sacrificial soldier, so he could naturally tell that the white cloth was covering a real corpse. The weather in Nanzhao was hot, and the corpse already had some smell. The surroundingmoners covered their mouths and noses. Only the young girl knelt behind the corpse in mourning without any disdain.


    That’s true. How could she despise her father’s corpse? However, she was not old, so it was not easy for her to hold back her fear.


    Shadow Thirteen returned to the carriage and reported, “A girl sold herself to bury her father. There were many people watching themotion, but very few people took action, so they blocked the road.”


    Yu Wan waited for a while, but the crowd did not disperse. Instead, the traffic became worse. She said, “Forget it, she’s pitiful. Go to the coffin shop and buy a coffin for her father. Then, get the shop assistants to help her bury him.”


    West City was also considered the Helian family’s fief. She was the daughter of the Helian family. How could she not care about such a thing?


    “Yes!” Shadow Thirteen epted the order and left. He spent five taels of silver to buy a coffin and gave the shop five taels of silver for them to help her to a suitable ce to be buried.


    After the shopkeeper received the money, he quickly asked the shop assistant to carry the coffin. The shopkeeper said, “Miss, a kind young master bought a coffin for your father and instructed us to help you bury him. You can go back. Everyone, disperse. Don’t stay here to watch themotion!”


    The girl looked up with reddened eyes. “May I know which young master it is?”


    The shopkeeper pointed at Shadow Thirteen, who had just walked away. “That young master in ck.”


    “Thank you.” The girl kowtowed to the shopkeeper with tears in her eyes, stood up, and chased after Shadow Thirteen.


    Because she had been kneeling for too long, her legs were a little numb and she fell to the ground.


    Shadow Thirteen stopped in his tracks and subconsciously turned around. It was not that he pitied this girl, but that sacrificial soldiers would always react warily when faced with unexpected situations.


    The girl hurriedly got up. She couldn’t care less about her broken knee and chased after Shadow Thirteen in a sorry state. “Young Master!”


    Shadow Thirteen looked at her indifferently. “What’s the matter?”


    “I…” The girl knelt down. “Thank you for your help, Young Master! My name is


    Xianglian. From now on, Xianglian is yours!”


    Shadow Thirteen frowned and said, “You’re not mine.” The girl looked up at him.. “But Young Master buried my father…”
