Chapter 991: Seriously Werent Picky

Xuan Hongyu put on the cloak. His body was fully wrapped up and his face was covered by the black veil attached to the cloaks hood.

Where are we going? Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu through the veil.

This subordinate had been planning to go to a town near Masters fiefdom, but now that something like this has happened, this subordinate plans to take Master to search for a cure, replied Ning Shu earnestly.

Xuan Hongyu fell silent. The black veil covered his face, so his expression couldnt be made out.

Xuan Miexiao who had been inside the carriage woke up, so Ning Shu carried him out of the carriage and fed him some food. Xuan Hongyu sat down at the other side of the fire in order to get a bit further away from Ning Shu and Xuan Miexiao.

Master, its fine. In a bit, this subordinate will rub some mugwort leaf juice on the childs skin so that it wont be as easy for him to get infected, said Ning Shu.

Xuan Hongyu just nodded.

Theres no need to go look for a doctor. Lets return to the capital, said Xuan Hongyu.

Ning Shu: Pff...

This person was seriously...

Why? Master, if you return like this, youd only end up a laughing stock. Right now what you need to do is cure the sy- pei! The leprosy. Master, youll definitely be able to make a comeback. There was no way Ning Shu would let Xuan Hongyu go back.

Xuan Hongyu didnt speak, so Ning Shu just took it as agreement.

She rubbed mugwort leaf juice on Xuan Miexiao, then said to Xuan Hongyu who was standing to the side like a pillar, Master, lets go.

Xuan Hongyu didnt enter the carriage and just sat down next to Ning Shu, so Xuan Miexiao was the only one inside the carriage.

It was clear that Xuan Hongyu was afraid of approaching Xuan Miexiao. He was worried about spreading this disease to the child.

Ning Shu swung the whip and drove the horse forward. She glanced at Xuan Hongyu out of the corner of her eye, but the black veil was covering his face so she couldnt see his expression.

She had the feeling that under the veil was an all-hope-was-lost expression. She really wanted to see it.

Master...

Be quiet. Xuan Hongyu didnt want to talk.

Ning Shu curled her lips in distant.

She drove the horse forward at a steady pace, so after a night, they were already quite far away from the capital.

As Ning Shu continued driving the carriage, she lifted the curtain to check on the kid. Due to the swaying of the carriage, Xuan Miexiao had fallen asleep again.

Swis.h.!.+

A sharp wooden stick suddenly flew towards one of the wheels of the carriage. Ning Shu pulled on the reins, then swung her whip, catching the wooden stick and flinging it aside.

Hand over all your valuables! Several people had appeared by the road. They were all holding swords and looked violent.

They had encountered bandits.

Oh, and theres even a female. Shes a bit ugly, but at least its a woman. A bandit glanced at Ning Shu, then looked towards Xuan Hongyu who was covered from head to toe. He said towards his leader, Boss, that persons completely wrapped up, so its either a beauty or an ugly hag.

Capture them. The bandit peeked at Xuan Hongyu with l.u.s.t in his eyes. Let this daddy have a taste first.

Xuan Hongyu had a naturally lofty aura. Even completely wrapped up, he still gave people the feeling that he couldnt be casually offended.

Ning Shu: ...

The h.e.l.l? They thought Xuan Hongyu was a woman? Could a woman possibly have such a large frame? Or was it that they seriously werent picky?

The dangerous atmosphere outside caused Xuan Miexiao to become uneasy. He started wailing and crying.

Theres even a kid. The bandit leader licked his lips. The sight was quite terrifying.

Before Ning Shu could even make a move though, Xuan Hongyu had reached out to take the horse whip from Ning Shu. He got off the carriage, walked to the bandit leader, then started rapidly swinging the whip at the bandit leaders head.
