Chapter 2593: An encounter on the road

Hearing this, the cultivators remembered the figure dressed as a waiter who had passed under their noses four hours before.

“Damn it!”

The man threw the waiter down to the first floor. With a pained cry, the waiter scrambled to his feet and hid behind the Innkeeper.

Two tables on the first floor were smashed. The Innkeeper didn’t dare to look any further because he saw these people had murderous looks on their faces. He just stood there protecting the waiter and watching them walk away. He didn’t turn around to ask the waiter what had happened until they were gone.

The cultivators gathered after leaving the inn, and there were more than a dozen of them. Ling Tianyu only saw a few people outside at the time, and he had no idea there were people in the back of the inn and on the first floor.

“Since she left four hours ago, she must have gone a long way. Where do you intend to find her?” A cultivator inquired with his eyes on the leader.

The leader was glum and spoke in a frigid tone as he observed the busy street. “We finally found out that she came here, but there’s no clue as to where she is now. We must return and await news.”

Feng Jiu was walking on the mountain road after leaving the city. She had no idea those people had already stopped pursuing her. She was still dressed in the waiter’s garb. Her beautiful face had transformed into the unremarkable appearance she had adopted in the past. She restrained her breath and appeared simple-minded. People who did not know her might assume she was a young man from a rural location or someplace like that.

However, very few young men would walk at night, especially in the mountains where there was neither a village nor a store.

From the mountain path came the sound of pounding horse hooves. Feng Jiu stopped to look and noticed two carriages approaching with their lights shining. It did not resemble a lamp, but rather like a night pearl or something.

She moved to the side of the mountain road when she noticed this, allowing the carriages to pass. The carriages must be travelling on the road at night for an urgent reason! At night, most people would sleep, and only a few carriages would travel.

Despite the distance, there was no one else on the road, so laughter could be heard faintly from the carriages, as if there were both elderly and young people present.

“Eh? Look, there’s a young man outside.” Seeing the young man standing on the roadside in the middle of the night, a girl’s charming voice came out with a smile and curiosity.

Feng Jiu looked up and noticed a girl in a pink dress sticking her head out the carriage window and blinking her limpid eyes with interest.

“What is so peculiar about it? After all, not everyone can have a horse-drawn carriage like us. ” The voice of a young man came with a hint of pride in his words.

“Grandfather, the young man sat down and relaxed in the grass by the roadside. We did not have much rest during the trip. Why don’t we get out of the carriage and take a walk? I am exhausted from riding in the carriage all day. The night sky outside is filled with stars, I’d like to go down and take a look.” The girl’s delicate voice came from the carriage and faintly reached Feng Jiu’s ears.

Feng Jiu, who sat on one side of the grassy slope, took a small tent from the space and set it up, then rushed in, shielding herself from the howling night wind outside.

She simply did not anticipate that the horse-drawn carriage that had passed her for a distance would stop.
