Chapter 2281

Just as Yang Kai was in a depressed mood, a soft moan suddenly came from behind him. He turned his head and saw Ye Qinghan frowning and sitting crookedly on the wooden boat, with a dazed expression on her face.

She still seemed a bit confused about the situation in front of her.

But soon, she remembered what had happened before she fainted and suddenly stood up, crying out in a tender voice, “Young Master Yang！”

“You’re awake！” Yang Kai took a look at her and said indifferently, “Don’t move around for now. Check if there’s anything seriously wrong with yourself.”

Ye Qinghan nodded upon hearing this, closed her eyes and examined her own situation. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said, “There’s nothing.”

She was just knocked unconscious by Hua Qingsi. Although she was previously impacted by the self-destruction of the Thunder Ghost, she didn’t suffer any serious injuries. It was just that there was a sign of slightly unstable qi and blood, and she could recover by taking some pills.

“Yang Kai, where are that older sister and that big stone man from before? Hua Qingsi looked around but didn’t find the trace of Hua Qingsi and the Dharma Body, and couldn’t help but ask doubtfully.

Yang Kai said, “What older sister and stone man？”

“That is…” Ye Qinghan was about to describe it when suddenly her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she said with a strange expression, “Could it be… that was really an illusion？”

At this moment, when she recalled the scene of Hua Qingsi and the Dharma Body appearing, she always felt that everything was so unreal, and suddenly she somewhat suspected that she had been hit by a magic, and that the young woman and the stone man were not real.

“I used a kind of pupil technique to deal with the Four Ghosts before. You probably had an illusion.” Yang Kai replied.

“So that’s how it is！” Ye Qinghan let out a breath and smiled self-deprecatingly. “Young Master Yang is truly powerful, but this concubine wasn’t able to help at all. I’m really ashamed！”

“It’s nothing. The Four Ghosts of the Blood Saber are not easy opponents. If you really forced yourself to intervene, you might already be dead by now.”

Ye Qinghan broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this and once again realized the huge gap between herself and Yang Kai.

The Four Bloodblade Ghosts are powerful cultivators at the Third-Order Dao Source Realm. When they joined forces and used their combined secret technique, they could even fight against a Emperor Senior Realm cultivator. However, in Yang Kai’s hands, they were almost completely wiped out.

Such achievements are enough to be proud of.

Although they are both at the Second-Order Dao Source Realm, Ye Qinghan found that the strength gap between herself and Yang Kai is simply like the difference between clouds and mud. For a while, she couldn’t help but feel depressed, yearning for the day when she could also have such power as Yang Kai.

She laughs repeatedly and reached out to touch the back of her neck. However, she found that it was slightly painful and suddenly froze in place.

Youdaoplaceholder0 the scene where the young woman knocked herself out before Ye Qinghan was extremely at a loss. She really didn’t know whether what she saw before was a hallucination or real.

There was no word along the way.

Ye Qinghan also seemed to find that Yang Kai’s mood was not very good after encountering the Four Ghosts, so she didn’t bother him. She just pointed the way and meditated and rested on the wooden boat when she was free.

It was not until more than ten days later that the two of them could faintly see a continuous mountain range.

Ye Qinghan then stood up from the wooden boat and pointed excitedly at the mountains in front of her and said, “Young Master Yang, this is Thousand Leaves Mountain. Our Thousand Leaves Sect is located within this mountain. It will take less than half a day to arrive.”

“Hmm.” Yang Kai responded casually.

Ye Qinghan smiled and said, “I’ll send a message to my father first. So as not to worry him.”

This trip of hers took several months. Being alone outside would always make her relatives worry. Now that she is safely back, she wants to report her safety as soon as possible.

Yang Kai didn’t pay attention to her either. He just sat in the front of the wooden boat and quietly observed the surroundings.

Ye Qinghan took out the message-passing compass and injected a thought into it. After a while, the compass suddenly hummed as if there was a reply.

After Ye Qinghan checked it, her delicate eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and she had an unhappy expression on her face.

Yang Kai noticed the abnormality in her expression and asked, “What’s wrong？”

Ye Qinghan pouted and said, My father actually asked me to represent a Thousand Leaves Sect to participate in the concubine ceremony of the City Lord of Heavenly Crane City! I’m so angry with him.” She complained, “I knew I shouldn’t have told him I was back, and I could have saved this trouble.”

“You don’t seem very happy to go.” Yang Kai looked at her with a smile.

Ye Qinghan snorted and said, “I don’t care about the affairs of a person who forgets his master. Let him take his concubine. My father is also, why give him this face and even send someone to participate in this crappy ceremony.”

Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, and he said, Does your Thousand Leaves Sect have a holiday with this City Lord of Heavenly Crane City?

Ye Qinghan’s face was cold. “That guy is an ungrateful wretch. Back then, he was able to sit in this city lord’s position all because of the support of our Thousand Leaves Sect. Now that he has grown strong and found another backer, he doesn’t take us seriously anymore and has also squeezed out many of our Thousand Leaves Sect’s industries in Heavenly Crane City. What a despicable person！”

Yang Kai wasn’t too interested in these matters, so after asking casually, he didn’t say anything more.

Ye Qinghan seemed to also realize something inappropriate and stuck out her tongue, saying, “Sorry, Young Master Yang. I spoke out of turn.”

“It’s okay. There are always some stingy people in this world who make one angry.” Yang Kai waved his hand.

“Young Master Yang, you wait a moment. I’ll go and tell my father and then take you back to the sect to settle you down.” Ye Qinghan said as she was about to pour her spiritual thoughts into that communication compass again.

“No need.” Yang Kai grinned. “I’ll go with you. It saves the trouble and can be regarded as taking a stroll to relax.”

Ye Qinghan was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, “Thank you, Young Master Yang. Please forgive me for any negligence.”

“It’s okay.”

While speaking, the two of them immediately changed direction and headed towards that Heavenly Crane City.

Heavenly Crane City was located three thousand li away from the foot of Thousand Leaves Mountain. Although the city wasn’t too big, it was much better than Maple Forest City and could be considered a medium-sized city.

According to what Ye Qinghan said, there are probably more than a dozen Dao Source Realm powerhouses in the City Lord’s Mansion of Heavenly Crane City. The city lord Luo Jin even has a powerful cultivation base of the third level of the Dao Source Realm, which is equivalent to the cultivation bases of the sect masters and clan leaders of some medium-strength forces nearby. It is precisely because of this that he can firmly sit in the position of the city lord of Heavenly Crane City.

When Yang Kai and Ye Qinghan arrived at the city gate, they saw that the city gate was bustling with activity. One after another, carriages were fully loaded with goods, waiting to enter the city. On those carriages were all kinds of rare treasures. Yang Kai even smelled the smell of some pills and spiritual herbs.

And looking at the joyous decorations on those carriages, the goods loaded in these carriages were obviously the congratulatory gifts prepared by some nearby forces.

Heavenly Crane City is also a not bad force within a radius of 100,000 miles. Now that the city lord is taking a concubine, all parties and forces will naturally come to congratulate.

The guards at the city gate also looked energetic and cheerful, smiling and waiting inspecting the goods and letting them pass quickly.

Yang Kai and Ye Qinghan didn’t rush to enter the city, but stood quietly waiting a hundred zhang outside the city.

Because according to what Ye Qinghan said, later there will be disciples of Thousand Leaves Sect coming.

It was also a coincidence that Ye Qinghan got this congratulatory errand. If she hadn’t happened to rush back today, she wouldn’t have been assigned by Ye Hen to this task that made her bored.

After all, she is also the young sect master of the Thousand Leaves Sect. If she leads the team to congratulate, it will be decent on the surface.

After waiting for a while, Ye Qinghan’s beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed in one direction and said, “Here they come！”

Yang Kai looked up and saw a bright light flying towards here from the horizon. When it got closer, the bright light showed its original shape. It was actually a secret treasure in the shape of a building ship. There were several well-dressed warriors standing on the building ship. One person was leaning against the side of the ship looking around. When he saw Ye Qinghan, he couldn’t help but grin and wave affectionately.

Ye Qinghan responded. A moment later, the building ship landed. The man who had greeted Ye Qinghan before flew down. After the others also got off the ship, he pinched a formula with both hands and put away the building ship.

“Ye Zi, you’re finally back. If you don’t come back, I’m going to Fenglin City to look for you.” The man came directly to Ye Qinghan, looked at her affectionately, and his eyes were bright, actually ignoring Yang Kai’s existence.

“Senior Brother Du Xian！” Ye Qinghan’s cheeks flushed red from his passionate gaze, and she lowered her head, looking all shy and demure.

Yang Kai took one look and knew that there must be something between this man and woman, and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Another man suddenly stuck his head out from behind Du Xian and grinned, saying, “Senior Sister Ye, you don’t know that ever since you went to Fenglin City, our senior brother has been losing his appetite for tea and food, and even has no mind for cultivation. He’s been scolded several times by the master.

“Mind your own business！” Du Xian glared at that man, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Ye Qinghan pursed her red lips and said in a low voice, “How can this be… Cultivation still has to be done…”

Du Xian looked at Ye Qinghan affectionately and said softly, “I have cultivated, but… I can’t calm my mind. There is always someone in my mind.”

“Think… who…” Ye Qinghan’s delicate body trembled, and the blush on her cheeks became even more obvious, like a burning fire.

“Think of you, of course！” That sneaky man interjected again and said, “Senior Sister Ye, I also miss you so much. I’m thinking so hard that my heart is broken and I can’t sleep at night…”

As he spoke, he put on a look of agony and restlessness, which made the other Thousand Leaves Sect disciples burst into laughter.

“Wu Ma, get lost！” Du Xian suddenly reached out and hit the disciple named Wu Ma on the head, making his neck shrink. Wu Ma shouted indignantly, “How can there be no justice? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires while the common people are not allowed to light lamps. Senior Sister Ye, you have to uphold justice for me.”

Ye Qinghan spat and said, “You deserve it. You just keep chattering！ Senior Brother should have beaten you harder.”

Wu Ma suddenly looked dejected.

Yang Kai watched coldly from the side and felt that the disciples of the Thousand Leaves Sect were quite interesting. They seemed to be very close to each other. He couldn’t help but chuckle. This made him sigh with emotion. In fact, the smaller the sect, the stronger the cohesion of the disciples within the sect when facing a crisis. But once the sect grows bigger, all kinds of intrigues and false pretenses will slowly emerge.

Du Xian seemed to have just noticed Yang Kai at this time. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said solemnly with a fist in his arms, “I am Du Xian of the Thousand Leaves Sect. May I ask the name of this brother？”
