The Strongest Abandoned Woman of Immortal Cultivation - Chapter 6: Missing Halfway
“Puff,” Yu Youwei laughed and said, I can’t talk about cold blood at best, it’s naive.
Mu Qingxi raised her head, staring at her daughter sadly, and said, “You might as well say that your mother is mentally retarded.”
“Uh, I can’t talk about mental retardation, although it is true. Fourth Master, Yu died years ago, you should forget about him, but you still remember every word he said.” Youwei sighed softly, “After I leave, don’t stay in the Mujiazhuang if you have found a suitable man to marry.”
Yu Youwei didn’t ask to see her off. She didn’t bring her maid and left the house alone. The light gray rain clouds gathered, and soon a cold rain began falling. After walking out, she looked back at the place she had lived in for fourteen years amidst the rain. Her mother was leaning against the door with a trace of reluctance in her heart.
Outside the gate of Mujiazhuang, luxurious carriages with the Yu family crest surrounded the guards of the Yu family. Seeing Yu Youwei coming, the captain of the guard, who always had a straight face, greeted her, bowed, saluted, and led Yu Youwei into the carriage.
Entering the carriage, Yu Youwei saw Yu Shiyu, and Cuiyu frowned upon her smooth forehead, making no secret of her inner hatred. Yu Shiyu was in a good mood and actually grinned back at her, revealing Bai Sense’s teeth, giving her the feeling of facing a fierce beast.
“Sister Wei.”
With a soft and delicate voice, Yu Youwei saw Mu Yuyan also in the carriage.
The carriage was spacious. The double-row seats that sit on the opposite sides were more like a couch. It even had double-door cabinets under it. Yu Shiyu leaned on the embroidered pillow and occupied an entire row of seats. Mu Yuyan hugged her knees in the opposite corner of the couch. Seeing Yu Youwei sitting down, she immediately snuggled up like a cat cub, taking a peek at Yu Shiyu from time to time.
The carriage drove out of Mujiazhuang and headed towards Tanglin Mansion along the Huo Crow Mountain Range. The traffic was steady and fast, which made it a lot faster to travel hundreds of miles. The peaks along the way were no longer competing for wonder and beauty. Some low and bloated mines appeared. From time to time, there were the sounds of explosions coming from the mountains and rocks. Mu Yuyan, who was just out of the house, was excited. She quickly ignored Yu Shiyu, who had been closing her eyes and resting her mind. She chatted and laughed all the way. She didn’t get Yu Youwei’s response and even acted like a baby, “Sister Wei, did you listen to me? Well…?”
“Listen, keep talking.” Yu Youwei smiled and looked out the car window. A purple light flashed across the sky, illuminating the narrow mountain road between the two peaks. “This is an excellent place to ambush!” Just as she thought of this, dense flying fireballs and rolling logs were coming from both of the peaks, accompanied by a sharp blasting sound.
The rolling logs blocked the carriage, and immediately the horse team escorts arranged in a half arc to protect the carriage. Yu Shiyu also headed out.
“Find a safe place to hide!” Yu Youwei said, dragged Mu Yuyan out of the carriage, and pushed her to the woods on the roadside. She rushed toward the curse between the two peaks while it rained.
“Damn it!” Yu Shiyu roared ironically and didn’t know if he was cursing at the ambusher or Yu Youwei. The guards followed him to Yu Youwei. No one cared about Mu Yuyan, who fell in the forest.
Mu Yuyan, who landed in the woods, barely avoided a fireball that flew past her. She turned her head in shock and saw Yu Youwei’s figure flashing in flames as the people in the Yu family chased her. She didn’t dare to say anything and ran deeper into the woods.
“Sister! Over here!”
Mu Yuqi suddenly appeared with a group of Mu family children and waved to her sister beside a willow tree with a crooked neck.
“Brother, why are you here? Wasn’t that you on the mountain over there?!” Mu Yuyan screamed in panic before setting off. She knew that her brother, who took the mission to leave the fort first, would take someone on the way to pretend to be an assassin for a sneak attack. He and Yu Youwei took advantage of the chaos and fled. If the person ambushing on the mountain is not her own brother, sister Wei would rush over and throw herself into the net.
“We delayed a bit of time on the road. Let’s go first. Youwei said that if we encounter this kind of situation, we’ll leave. She has a way to escape.” Mu Yuqi whispered.
“How could Sister Wei escape?”
“She was formerly of the Yu family. Does it matter if she can’t escape? The Yu family will protect her.” Mu Yuqi looked at the place where the flames were rising and forcibly dragged her sister away.
A group of people in black rushed down from the mountain to fight with Yu Shiyu and the others. Yu Youwei is not skilled, but the people in black don’t want to embarrass her and prevent Yu Shiyu and the others from intercepting her. To allow her to rush out of the chaos towards the north side of the mountain.
With heavy rain in the north of the mountain, Yu Youwei ran all the way, ignoring the rain and the bustling wind towards the tavern at the foot of the peak. She stopped for a while and looked at the banner “Springwood Tavern” She leaned her back towards the door and muttered, “Here,” then she went into the tavern.
Whitestone mined from the mountains was used for the walls of the tavern. The half-height log counter divides the place in half. Behind it are the kitchen and warehouse. When you walk in, you can smell the rich fragrance of logs.
When Yu Youwei entered, there was a horse-faced woman in a blue shirt. The woman was lying on the counter with her arms crossed and napping on the counter. There were two tables in front of the counter, one of which was surrounded by six blue-robed men. They were also leaning their backs on the wall. The swordsmen were of all ages. On the other table, there was a man with an ice cube face. He wore a mysterious robe while standing alone.
“There is no one here where I’m sitting.” Yu Youwei sat down opposite of the Xuanpao youth and asked with a smile on her face, “Are you going to the mountains? The rain is heavy, and the roads in the mountains are not easy to walk on.”
The Xuanpao youth did not respond. The light was dim, the contours of his face were more three-dimensional, his mouth slightly pursed, and his long narrow phoenix eyes were calm without a trace of brilliance.
“Boss, come here with a bowl of herbal tea.” Yu Youwei greeted, dressed up as a sneer, “I’m a bit ugly, don’t even bother to answer. There is also another advantage to ugly girls, which is that they will never look like the nympho who will stalk you, right?”
A few chuckles came up from the nearby table, and a girl about the same age as Yu Youwei whispered, “Ugly people are a lot of trouble.”
The horse-faced woman also smiled and said with a broken gong voice, “There is no herbal tea, only home-brewed rice wine, and side dishes.”
“Then come with a bowl of rice wine.” Yu Youwei lay on the table, looking at the young man in Xuanpao with a grimace, “It’s now my fault I look ugly. It’s my fault that I went out in the rain. I really didn’t mean to disturb you.”
She rushed in even with the rain and wind. Yu Youwei was unfortunate. She’s soaking wet, her hair was scattered all over her face, and water dripped from the tips of her hair. She’s embarrassed, but she couldn’t show it. She looked ugly, but somehow it was a bit charming in a way.
The young man in Xuanpao looked directly at Yu Youwei, but he was indifferent. He stood upright like a statue with a straight face. Yu Youwei was frustrated.
[ED/N]”To those who might be getting confused about the gender of the characters, you’re not alone. For me, the editor of this Chinese Novel is also confused but based on what I’ve read. Yu Youwei, Mu Yuyan are female, and Mu Yuqi and Yu Shiyu are male. I think…”
