Chapter 260 Sauvignon Blanc 17
The back mountain of Qingshui Town.

Ling Xi was walking alone in the woods, surrounded by tall and lush trees, beautiful scenery, and abundant spiritual energy. If this place was not where the famous Chen Rongjun stayed, it would probably be a treasure land.

After walking for a while, Ling Xi noticed the slight footsteps behind him. He turned back sharply, but didn't see anyone. Then he said coldly: "Come out, don't let me force you out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a short figure appeared. It was Wen Xiaoliu.

Wen Xiaoliu ran up to Ling Xi and smiled ingratiatingly, "Miss Xi, what a coincidence."

Ling Xi had only told Wen Xiaoliu her name was Xi before, so Wen Xiaoliu always called her Miss Xi.

Ling Xi looked at Wen Xiaoliu suspiciously and asked, "Why did Doctor Xiaoliu come to the back mountain?"

Wen Xiaoliu smiled and lowered her head, but she was at a loss as to what to do. "To be honest, Miss Xi, my two colleagues in the clinic, Ma Zi and Chuan Zi, are both of marriageable age. Since I raised them, I have to consider their lifelong affairs. That's why I want to come to the back mountain to pick a few more herbs, so that I can sell the money and use it as a betrothal gift for them, and then find wives for them."

Ling Xi nodded in understanding, and sighed sincerely: "Doctor Xiaoliu is a good person."

Wen Xiaoliu waved her hand and said, "I have met many good people, but we have been together for a long time. I regard them as my family members."

"Then let's go together. It happens that I know some herbs, so maybe I can help Doctor Xiaoliu." Ling Xi suggested with a smile, and didn't seem to show any reaction to Wen Xiaoliu's sudden appearance.

Wen Xiaoliu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Thank you very much, Miss Xi."

She could see that Miss Xi had great spiritual power, and she would be safer with her accompanying her when she entered the mountain.

Ling Xi smiled, looked behind Wen Xiaoliu, and called out loudly, "Isn't the person behind coming out yet?"

Wen Xiaoliu was a little surprised. How come she didn't notice that someone was following her?

When the people came out, Wen Xiaoliu exclaimed, "Seventeen!"

The person who came was none other than Ye Shiqi. Even his coarse linen clothes could not hide his good looks. Tu Shanjing used to be like a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, but now Ye Shiqi was much more fragile, and looked like he could be blown away by the wind.

"Why are you here?" Wen Xiaoliu held Ye Shiqi's hand and asked anxiously and worriedly.

Wen Xiaoliu waved to Ye Shiqi and said, "I'm going to the mountains to collect herbs. Don't follow me. Let's go back quickly."

Ye Shiqi ignored Wen Xiaoliu's words and did not leave. Instead, he continued to follow him, following behind him without saying a word.

Ling Xi was too lazy to pay attention to them and walked aside.

This Tu Shan Jing is now like a follower and can't leave Wen Xiaoliu for a moment.

After a while, Ling Xi saw Ye Shiqi walking with Wen Xiaoliu, and knew that Wen Xiaoliu agreed to let Ye Shiqi go together.

After entering the mountain, Min Xiaoliu stopped when she saw some rare medicinal herbs, picked them carefully and put them in the basket on her back.

This mountain does produce medicinal herbs. Even Ling Xi saw several medicinal herbs that are rarely seen outside. It can only be said that this place has beautiful mountains, clear waters and beautiful scenery.

After walking for several hours, they didn't know where they were. When they came to a stone tablet, Wen Xiaoliu stopped.

Ling Xi had looked at the map and naturally knew that the territory ahead was Chen Rongjun's.

Ever since Chen Rong was destroyed by Xi Yan, the Chen Rong army can only guard such a small area.

"Doctor Xiaoliu, what's wrong?"

Pretending not to know, Ling Xi curiously asked Wen Xiaoliu who had stopped.

Wen Xiaoliu explained, "Miss Xi, the territory ahead is the territory of Chen Rong's army. General Chen Rong is strict in his military discipline. If you occasionally run into Chen Rong's army on the mountain, it won't be a big deal. But their military advisor, the Hydra Xiangliu, is very troublesome. He is cruel and reckless. I heard that he kills the gods without blinking an eye."

After saying that, Wen Xiaoliu looked at Ling Xi worriedly, "Miss Xi, you'd better try to avoid going into the mountains. It would be bad if you meet Xiangliu." "And you, don't go into the mountains either." Wen Xiaoliu turned around and reminded Ye Shiqi.

Ye Shiqi looked at Wen Xiaoliu tenderly, and that look made Ling Xi's teeth ache.

Hearing what Wen Xiaoliu said, Ling Xi blinked. She came here just for Xiangliu. If she couldn't meet Xiangliu, why would she walk for several hours and go into the mountains with so much trouble?

"It's okay," Ling Xi waved his hand to reassure Wen Xiaoliu, "Don't worry, I can beat Xiang Liu, don't be afraid."

Ling Xi was full of confidence, and this look made Wen Xiaoliu dazed. She couldn't help but think of the past. It seemed that she had been like this before, but everything that happened afterwards was gone.

Min Xiaoliu squatted down and looked at the feces on the stone with a look of joy.

"Seventeen, Miss Xi, look."

Wen Xiaoliu stood up and looked at the two of them, unable to hide the obvious smile on her face.

Ling Xi went over and saw the direction that Wen Xiaoliu was pointing, which was feces.

Ling Xi really didn't recognize this thing, so he asked: "Doctor Xiaoliu, what is this..."

Xiaoliu tilted his head, smiling, and introduced: "This is the feces of 朏朏. The human race calls 朏朏 the worry-relieving beast. The nobles like to raise it very much. Because it is difficult to catch, it is very expensive. You wait here for a while, I will go catch 朏朏."

Ye Shiqi immediately said anxiously: "I'll go with you."

He still can't speak clearly now, and can only utter a few words at a time.

Ye Shiqi stared at Wen Xiaoliu quietly, his eyes focused and with a hint of sadness in them.

Wen Xiaoliu softened her heart, walked a few steps closer, and tugged at Ye Shiqi's sleeve, "朏朏 is timid and alert. When there are too many people around, it will run away. Shiqi, be obedient."

Ling Xi watched the two of them from the side. Fortunately, she knew that Wen Xiaoliu was a girl. If others saw them, it would look like two grown men were pulling each other.

"Doctor Xiaoliu," Ling Xi said, "I'll go with you. Let Seventeen wait here. I can protect you."

Wen Xiaoliu hesitated for a while, and finally decided that it would be a good opportunity to take advantage of something. Why not take advantage of someone with great spiritual power to protect her?

So, she looked at Ling Xi with gratitude, "Thank you very much, Miss Xi."

Ling Xi smiled slightly: "You're welcome."

Anyway, she went in for something.

The safety issue was resolved, but Ye Shiqi still said to Wen Xiaoliu stubbornly, "I'll wait for you here."

With Ling Xi accompanying him, Ye Shiqi had nothing to worry about. Even though they had never fought each other, he had heard that the Second Princess of Haoling had a high level of cultivation.

Wen Xiaoliu said nonchalantly: "It takes some time to catch 朏朏. If you can't wait, just go home first."

Ye Shiqi said firmly: "I'll wait for you."

Wen Xiaoliu waved and walked in.

Ling Xi followed immediately and understood something in his heart.

It seems that Wen Xiaoliu has suffered a lot over the years. It makes sense. She changed her gender and appearance just to survive.

When Ling Xi walked to Wen Xiaoliu's side, she heard her mumbling to herself in a tone that sounded sarcastic and sad: "In this world, no one will wait for anyone for a lifetime."
