Yanzhi left the decision of whether to attend doctor Shi’s and Jinhua’s marriage ceremony to Xiao Ling to decide. Xiao Ling decided for them to attend, Xiao Ling’s liking of the two was on the positive side so he intends on making doctor Shi and Jinhua their family friends. And for Yanzhi he had no care for such worldly relationships, for someone like him who had witnessed the birth and death of many mortals for eons. What use was investing and maintaining relationships which was bound to end with him being the only one left? He would sometimes intervene with heavens will by using other means to prolong the lives of the mortals he encounters once or twice, teaching them the path of cultivating to immortality. But when one couldn’t attain immortality he no longer intervenes in the will of the heavens leaving destiny to take it’s course. And it was the same way with doctor Shi and Jinhua. Yanzhi cared not but since his little wife wanted to maintain the relationship between them then him who recognized Xiao Ling as his dao would do his all to make sure that Xiao Ling’s wishes are attended to, even if that meant interfering with the will of the heavens.
It’s been a week and a couple of days since the departure of doctor Shi and Jinhua. It was finally the day for Xiao Ling and Yanzhi to also make their departure and follow along. For the previous days a lot of preys were hunted by Lin and his brothers which Xiao Ling used for beef jerky and made a lot of dry foods for their journey to the capital. Things that needed to be taken care of before leaving were also taken care of. Yanzhi bought the lands at the entrance of the village, both him and Xiao Ling decided on that the auction house to be built in the village. Since the house wouldn’t take long to be completed they decided to have the location for the auction house to be built ready. The blueprint was drafted and given to brother Song along with the money for it’s building. The journey from their small village to the capital would take about a week’s time without any delays along the way. Preparing for their journey didn’t take much, since they have no intentions of staying long in the capital they only prepared for a month’s worth necessities.
Yue, Liu and Chang were the ones selected by Xiao Ling and Yanzhi to escort them to the capital. Two of the guards were selected to guard them, Xile and Lu Lixin to take turns of leading the horse carriage. The village head hearing that his son was being taken to the capital was overly excited and boastful, the village head and his wife were thankful and belated about their decision to scurry favors with Yanzhi rather than the Jun family. Lin and Feng who were left behind were saddened and pained knowing that they would part ways with their master for days. But Yanzhi just couldn’t take all of them along when in the first place they weren’t going to the capital to play and they wouldn’t stay there for long. Also it was necessary to leave the others behind to take care of things at home and also Xiao Ling’s restaurant.
Lin and Feng put away their dissatisfactions as they stood outside the door to send their master and mistress away, they watched with heavy hearts while the carriage was being lead away by Lu Lixin and Xile seating beside him at the coach seat. Both dressed in their sect robes which was Lixin in his white robes and Xile in servant clothes. The two horses mounted by the guards dressed in all plain black robes rode beside the moving carriage, matching the paces which the carriage moving.
"Ahh this Yanzhi and his wife are really leaving wonderful and happy lives, just look at their carriage. Very different and pretty. Where do you think they’re going? Ah!"
The villagers whispered amongst themselves seeing the carriage being led out of the village and the two escort guards.
"No one knows where they’re going. They even have money to buy many servants and dressed those servants in very good clothes. Ah and did you know, my husband who’s working as a foreman where they are building their house said the house Yanzhi and his wife are building is going to be very big! He said it’s even the biggest house he has ever seen and even no one in the county has yet to build such house!"
A middle aged woman said earning gaps and bewildered looks from her fellows.
"It must cost a lot!" a nother woman added.
"You guys haven’t heard yet right? I heard the whole mountain was bought by Yanzhi. So they own the mountain on which they’re building on!" Stunned and shocked expressions was the only expressions which the villagers gathered around had.
"Ah! The Jun family had really done themselves, missing out on all such good things. It’s truly a shame!" the villagers nodded upon the speech of a young man. "Go and do your works and stop gossiping about other family’s good things! If you have nothing better to do then find yourselves works and earn too!"
The village head’s wife who wanted to see her son off retorted annoyed hearing them gossiping non-stop. She left there seeing the carriage finally leave the village. "Ah! what does she mean by that?! Isn’t it that she’s also benefiting from all her children who are now working for Yanzhi! What, now she thinks she’s better than us?" someone said angrily cursing at the village head’s wife who walked away with no care for them.
"You! That’s the village head’s wife you’re talking about that way, do you want to be thrown out of the village?" Wu Dawu’s wife amongst them asked. "And why don’t you also send your children to ask for work too, it’s not only the village head’s children who are now working for Yanzhi’s family." she added.
"Bah! Bah! As for me I’m out of here, my husband and I don’t have anywhere to go so i can’t afford offending the village head’s wife and end up being sacked" they started to disperse in twos still whispering along the way.
Xiao Ling watched out of the window at the sceneries where the carriage passed by with whoosh after whoosh, Yue, Liu and Chang sat at one side without moving around or disturbing their master and mistress. All three dressed in their sect robes of black and white with their different crowns which showed their seniority amongst themselves and from the disciples dressed in plain white. Yue and Liu each covered their faces with veils leaving only their eyes.
"Will they be okay?" Xiao Ling turned and asked Yanzhi who had his eyes closed and his head lazily resting against the carriage. "You don’t have to worry about things, they may be a lot childish but they carry out works given to them with efficiency. Little wife just relax and have faith in them." Yanzhi said with his eyes still closed, his aloof tone full of laziness.
"Since Xiang gong says so, then I’ll set my heart to rest" said Xiao Ling. "Xiang gong I’ll cultivate for a bit" he informed as he crossed his legs, "do that with ease" Yanzhi stated and he nodded and closed his eyes.
*********
They’ve been on the road three days now, only stopping by inns to take shelter and rest at night. These three days was used to cultivate since there was nothing to do in an enclosed carriage.
"Ahhhhhhh! Someone help us!"
"Ughhhhhh!"
Agonizing screams of people carried by the wind into their ears. Yanzhi shot his eyes opened and so did Xiao Ling who was cultivating by his side. Yue, Liu and Chang sat up straight and alerted with vigilance. Yanzhi still had a carefree and a look of laziness, while Xiao Ling was with curiosity. The widow of the carriage was knocked from the outside as the carriage which was moving at a fixed paced slowed down. Xiao Ling pushed open the widow.
"Master! Mistress! Two carriages are being attacked by bandits in front of us, what actions should we take?" number 6 and 7 on horse backs asked respectfully. Xiao Ling turned to YanZhi with his eyes asking of what to do in this situation.
"Is the path blocked?" Yanzhi asked in a bored tone. "No, master!" number 6 answered back respectfully. "Then tell Lixin to continue without stopping, their fight has nothing to do with us." Yanzhi ordered. Just as number 6 was going to carry out his order, an arrow flew straight into the carriage. Yanzhi stretched out his hand and caught the arrow in the mid air close up to Xiao Ling’s face. Everyone in the carriage frowned inexplicably looking angry, thinking which bold human dared to almost hurt their mistress.
"Stop the carriage now!" Yanzhi ordered in a loud and angry tone. Lixin did as he was ordered. Yue, Liu and Chang jump down from the carriage before it even stopped completely. "I want all bandits in this vicinity dead, make sure their deaths painful for them to learn from their mistakes!" in a cold tone he ordered them, the disciples and guards saluted respectfully and went on to deal with the bandits. Xiao Ling also got down from the carriage alongside Yanzhi. Xiao Ling opened his dungeon portal, his summons walked out of it and bowed.
"Master, order us!" they said.
"Some bandits are hiding in the bushes, deal with them!" they moved into the shadows as soon he ordered.
