The beautiful woman stepped down from the carriage and walked towards Qin Yichen.
Up close, the woman was even more stunning. She was absolutely gorgeous! Even compared to Lu Linghan, known as the most beautiful woman in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, she was not inferior.
One could only say they each had their own charm.
Lu Linghan’s beauty lay in her nobility. As for this woman, her beauty lay in her gentle elegance.
“Young Master, Xin’er is ignorant and has offended you. I hope you can forgive her.” The woman’s voice was like a stream of clear water. It could cleanse one’s Soul. It caused Qin Yichen’s originally slightly resentful heart to flutter.
To be fair, there was a true beauty before him.
“It’s fine, I’m a big person who doesn’t hold grudges against such petty people. So, I won’t quibble with her.” Qin Yichen waved his hand magnanimously, then put away his Alchemy Master Medal.
However, his words once again angered the little beauty Xin’er. She screamed like a Cat, whose tail had been stepped on, “You thief! Who are you calling petty?”
“Enough, Xin’er, stop messing around.” The beautiful woman stopped her. Fortunately, although the little beauty was willful and capricious, she still listened to the woman. However, she still puffed up her cheeks and glared at Qin Yichen angrily, clearly declaring to him, “I won’t let you off the hook.”
“We’ve made a fool of ourselves.” The woman gave Xin’er a helpless glare, then said to Qin Yichen, “Young Master, are you heading to the Royal City?”
This road led directly to the Royal City.
“That’s right.” Seeing Qin Yichen nod, the woman’s eyes brightened.
“My surname is Shu, Shu Ruyan, and this is my Little Sister Shu Xin.” She introduced herself first then invited, “We live in the Royal City and are returning home. If Young Master doesn’t mind…”
“I don’t want to…” Shu Xin protested, but was silenced by a glare from Shu Ruyan. However, her gaze towards Qin Yichen was still full of hostility, as if saying, ‘If you agree, I’ll make you suffer!’
“Alright, this Qin will have to thank you for your kind offer.” Under the little beauty’s dumbfounded expression, Qin Yichen agreed.
Seeing her frantic and jumping appearance, Qin Yichen felt that the journey would not be boring.
Compared to the little beauty, Shu Ruyan’s pretty face revealed a hint of joy. Being able to make acquaintance with such a young Alchemy Master was definitely a good thing.
“Young Mistress, Second Young Mistress, are you alright?” Back in the caravan, an old servant approached with a worried face. His gaze soon fell on Qin Yichen.
“It’s fine, Uncle Wen. Please arrange a place for this Young Master.” Shu Ruyan waved her hand, indicating there was no problem, then arranged a place. She nodded to Qin Yichen before entering the carriage.
“Uh…” Uncle Wen’s gaze questioningly at the still angry Shu Xin, not understanding what had happened.
“Hmph! Mangy Dog!” Shu Xin pouted, glared at Qin Yichen, and also entered the carriage.
Uncle Wen was stunned for a moment, then said to Qin Yichen, “Young man, please follow me.”
Although he did not know Qin Yichen’s identity, he unconditionally trusted the Young Mistress.
Although Shu Ruyan was a woman, she had supported the entire Family with her own abilities. Her doing this meant that the young man before him must have something extraordinary about him.
Uncle Wen dared not neglect him, leading Qin Yichen to the caravan and arranging a nice carriage for him.
Travelling was very boring and tedious. Fortunately, Shu Xin came to provoke him from time to time, adding quite a bit of fun to this otherwise dull trip.
He also liked to tease this little beauty, almost every time causing Shu Ruyan to intervene.
However, because Qin Yichen was too close to the two Sisters, the gazes of people around him were filled with jealousy, even hostility.
In the hearts of the caravan guards, their Young Mistress was sacred and inviolable!
During the journey, the caravan was attacked several times.
These attackers were not like those weak thieves. On the contrary, these attackers were quite strong. Even though there were several Martial Grandmasters among the caravan guards, many people were still injured. Even the Second Young Mistress, Shu Xin, suffered a minor setback and was lightly injured.
Although Shu Xin was young, she was already a Peak Stage Martial Master with her Whip Technique practised to perfection. She was by no means weak. Her setback was naturally due to the appearance of Martial Grandmasters among the attackers.
The fact that there were Martial Grandmasters robbing on the highway was quite intriguing.
Qin Yichen noticed that Shu Ruyan’s face was becoming increasingly solemn, as if she had something on her mind.
Night fell.
The caravan stopped, and the guards skillfully set up bonfires. Qin Yichen came down from the carriage and walked to a bonfire at the edge of the caravan. He laid on the ground, comfortably gazing at the starry sky.
Just as he was feeling extremely comfortable, a beautiful figure blocked his view.
Having his view blocked, Qin Yichen could not help but frown. Before he could speak, a coquettish scolding entered his ears.
“Hey, why didn’t you come out to help when we encountered those stinking thieves earlier? Are you in cahoots with them?”
Hearing this voice, Qin Yichen knew without looking that it must be the willful little beauty Shu Xin.
At this moment, Shu Xin was wearing a light red dress, her quite tall figure looking particularly alluring and curvaceous, voluptuous even. From his angle, he could vaguely see through the gaps in her dress, catching a glimpse of those long legs under the skirt.
[What a waste of Heaven’s gifts!] Qin Yichen could not help but lament, why such a good figure was given to such an unreasonable little girl.
“You… pervert!” Seeing Qin Yichen’s gaze lecherously fixed on her, Shu Xin immediately reddened her eyes, cursed, and directly lashed out with her whip.
“I…” Hearing the sharp whistle, Qin Yichen could not even get a curse out before he rolled on the ground without any dignity, narrowly avoiding that whip.
Qin Yichen stood up, patting the grass off his body. Seeing the deep whip mark on the ground, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch. [This brat didn’t hold back at all! If that had hit, it would have at least taken off a layer of my skin!]
After getting up, Qin Yichen had no intention of arguing with Shu Xin. Without even looking at her, he turned to leave. [Argue with you? That only works if the other party is reasonable!]
“You pervert, you still want to leave!?” Seeing that he had no plans on arguing, Shu Xin was further convinced he was in the wrong. She lashed out with her whip again.
“Xin’er, what are you doing!?” A pleasant voice came from the front. It was Shu Ruyan in a white dress.
However, at this moment, her brows were deeply furrowed. She was increasingly feeling that some group was targeting this batch of goods.
If these goods could not be brought back to the Royal City… then the Family would no longer be able to maintain their foothold in the Royal City!
After all, she had invested more than half of the Family’s wealth in this batch of goods.
