Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 436 How dare you peek at my young lady!

"Sister!" Xiao Nian saw that only Gu Qingyue was left in the room, so he immediately ran back in. He had gone out to play in the yard while they were talking.

Gu Qingyue then remembered that the little guy had been waiting outside.

"Come here," Gu Qingyue said, pulling Xiao Nian's hand and making him sit next to her.

"Sister," Xiao Nian called out again, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of a sob in her voice.

Xiao Nian really misses Gu Qingyue.

Although he stubbornly insisted that he would protect his sister after mastering his kung fu, he still felt very sad after not seeing her for the past few months.

Gu Qingyue could tell from his expression that the little guy must miss her.

So she pulled Xiao Nianzi aside and asked him in detail about his martial arts training and living conditions.

Later, Gu Qingyue even exchanged a few moves with him.

Xiao Nian is making rapid progress; she is already very skilled at using the willow-leaf twin swords.

Of course, his internal strength is still relatively weak, which is also related to his young age and lack of power.

No rush, there's plenty of time.

Her own selfish reason was to have Senior Brother Liu Feng bring Xiao Nian over this time.

In her heart, Xiao Nian was like her own younger brother. She wanted to take advantage of her trip to Nanzhao to train him, especially in martial arts.

Sending such a young child to the Moon Shadow Pavilion training base and then ignoring him completely is not something Gu Qingyue would do.

Everything is ready.

The next morning, Gu Qingyue went to the Feng family again to give Vice Pavilion Master Lu another acupuncture treatment, using a small dose of antidote pills to clear away the remaining poison and transfer the healing energy.

Basically, Vice Pavilion Master Lu's health has returned to normal. As long as she strengthens his nutrition and conditioning, she can exorcise the Gu poison from him when she returns from Nanzhao.

After leaving the Feng family home, Gu Qingyue was followed by another figure – Feng Shuyan.

Why bring him along?

In Mr. Feng's words, Feng Shuyan was probably the person in Meng County who understood Nanzhao the most.

Feng Shuyan has been a restless person since childhood. Since he started learning martial arts, he has followed his master all over the southwest of the Great Chu and half of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

The reason for this was that his master was a wandering swordsman who, by chance, took Feng Shuyan in as a disciple.

It is said that he is highly skilled in martial arts, has a good character, and is also a good drinker. His only hobby is traveling around.

Therefore, Feng Shuyan followed suit and didn't like doing business at all.

Gu Qingyue turned around and looked at the tall and strong young man behind her, and she was very satisfied.

This kid's martial arts skills weren't top-notch, but after hearing about the places he had been, Gu Qingyue was still quite impressed.

However, just how unreliable was his master?

Is he really that carefree?!

At such a young age, Feng Shuyan has already traveled all over most of the land and rivers of the Great Chu and Nanzhao.

This is not a real little guide!

So, upon hearing Gu Qingyue say that they were going to Nanzhao to see the grand Heavenly Sacrifice, Old Feng was very excited and packed up Feng Shuyan and gave him to Gu Qingyue.

Back at the inn, I tidied things up again.

Gu Qingyue, Gu Yuanen, Jiang Wan, Yue Ling, Xiao Nian, and Feng Shuyan, after changing their appearance slightly, either took a carriage or rode a horse, heading towards Nanchong Pass.

Of course, there were also the young men of Moon Shadow Pavilion secretly led by Wen Qinghong.

After a day and a half's drive, Gu Qingyue and her group arrived at Nanchong Pass.

At the entrance of the General's Mansion, everything was as usual. Gu Yuanen dismounted first and went to ask the soldiers at the gate. He learned that General Zhao Yushan had gone to inspect the vicinity of Nanchong Pass and was not at the mansion.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue pondered for a moment, then decided against it. It was getting dark soon, and she wouldn't be able to leave the pass until early tomorrow morning.

So, the group found a comfortable inn to stay in.

The next morning, after washing up, everyone left the pass.

Of course, the exit documents had been prepared beforehand, and the business was conducted under the name of a merchant.

Although Nanzhao and Dachu have signed a peace agreement, customs documents are still required to cross the border to another country. Gu Qingyue and her group had prepared the necessary documents for their business trip in advance.

Passing the test wasn't complicated.

Of course, they could also bypass the Nanchong Mountain pass and leave without documents, which would be a clandestine affair.

No need.

The carriage traveled slowly, and by evening they arrived at the first town of Nanzhao.

Qihe Town.

After settling into the best local guesthouse, everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor to prepare for dinner.

"Go and call your boss, or you can forget about opening the shop!"

As soon as Gu Qingyue sat down, a woman's arrogant voice came from the table behind her, and she slammed her hand on the table.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow and glanced back. It was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a light pink dress, with a delicate nose, almond-shaped eyes, snow-white skin, and a high nose bridge. She was obviously a very beautiful girl, but her behavior was anything but beautiful.

"What are you looking at!"

Gu Qingyue glanced at the woman behind her as she turned around. It was the woman standing behind Xiang Fei's figure, a maid.

Gu Qingyue remained expressionless, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"I'm talking to you, you little brat in blue! How dare you peek at my young lady!" the maidservant persisted.

There were quite a few people eating in the lobby, and they started whispering among themselves, wondering who that woman was and why she was so arrogant.

However, despite the large number of people, Gu Qingyue happened to be disguised as a young man today, wearing a dark blue robe.

Clearly, Gu Qingyue had just glanced back and been noticed by the master and servant.

However, before Gu Qingyue could speak, Xiao Nian beside her said, "Hey, brother, isn't this a place to eat? Why are people shouting and yelling? It's so noisy."

The little expression on his face when he looked at Gu Qingyue was as innocent as could be.

Gu Qingyue almost burst out laughing when she heard this. She had forgotten that the little guy next to her had been involved in the underworld since he was a child, and he knew exactly how to read and understand adults.

Gu Yuanen and the others couldn't help but wink at Xiao Nian while barely suppressing their laughter, and Feng Shuyan even gave the little guy a thumbs up.

Seeing the group of people at the table exchanging glances and no one paying attention to the master and servant, Miss Xiangfei finally got angry!

She had never been ignored like this before, and had even been laughed at by a child.

I can’t stand it!!

"You! You've got some nerve! Come on, teach that lecherous man a lesson!" The smug young lady slammed her hand on the table, her arrogance undiminished.

Gu Qingyue suspected she had practiced Iron Palm, otherwise why would she like slamming the table so much?!

Doesn't your hand hurt?

"Stop!" Suddenly, a figure in moon-white robes turned from the backyard into the main hall.

The man had a cold and stern look in his eyes, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura. His icy gaze was fixed on the lady in the color of Xiangfei.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow. This must be the reason that woman lost her temper!

Is this the owner of the inn she just wanted to meet?

Sure enough, the woman stood up immediately upon seeing the man.

"You've finally agreed to see me!" The woman stepped forward in a few steps, her voice sweet and cloying, but she wasn't annoyed by the man's somewhat disdainful gaze.
