ld be amusing but also endearing.This was starting to resemble Chichi’s attitude…“Chichi…” At that moment, Chichi hopped over and cried out, seemingly upset that Xianyao had started eating without wai...Chapter 351 A Weak but Talented Lady, Part 1
"..."
This is indeed the case. The Young Miss would probably introduce herself proactively, and she would certainly say that she was a 'brother' of Free-and-Easy, although this might seem strange to others.
Soungxinxin sometimes really envied the Young Miss because her thoughts could be quite simple, even those considered peculiar...
"Introducing you as my what The boss is the boss. The Young Miss will introduce herself. You two are acquaintances, the Young Miss's friend," Free-and-Easy replied.
“What do you mean by acquaintance or a friend of Mo Yu’s Dare you introduce me like that I’ll cut off your tongue,” Soungxinxin leapt over and pressed against Free-and-Easy because there wasn’t much space in the carriage.
"How should I introduce you then, just like how the Young Miss would call me her brother" Free-and-Easy asked weakly.
"Say we are your bosom friends who are even more intimate than brothers!" Soungxinxin said and looked at the Young Miss in a challenging manner.
“Get lost!” The Young Miss kicked Soungxinxin off Free-and-Easy, "Do you know your own status Saying that I consider you my friend is already generous enough. But, Free-and-Easy, you should clarify that Su Su is my lover.”
"..." Free-and-Easy fell silent.
“You dare kick me, and I’ll kill you!” Soungxinxin punched the Young Miss then they started fighting in the narrow space. They restrained themselves so as not to affect others or damage the carriage.
This required a lot of skill, and was something they often did. Sometimes, they would fight under such conditions as using only one hand without internal energy or sitting on chairs with half their bodies unmoving.
Things like that were common for them since they fought in all circumstances.
Although they restrained themselves, Free-and-Easy still felt danger from being around them and slipped to another corner of the carriage to sit next to Isolated Star and Young Miss Soung. Watching the two sisters’ bickering was quite amusing.
"Free-and-Easy, are you really going to introduce me like that" Young Miss Soung asked in a low voice.
“Mm-hmm!” Free-and-Easy nodded casually without thinking there would be any problem. He was not close with them and only knew them indirectly because of the Young Miss’s acquaintance.
"I remember you," Young Miss Soung said, seemingly with a hum; but her voice was so low that Free-and-Easy wasn’t sure if she had made the sound or not.
“I’ll leave and go outside. It’s quieter out there. I’m going to sleep,” Free-and-Easy flipped over lightly from the carriage window.
"..."
The Young Miss and Soungxinxin continued their bickering without paying attention to Free-and-Easy leaving.
“Old man, are you tired Should I take a turn driving” Free-and-Easy asked the old man.
"No need. You should rest properly. We’ll arrive before dawn. Then you'll have to be alert and deal with any problems," the old man shook his head and let Free-and-Easy rest, continuing driving himself.
The place wasn’t far from Qingyun City or he wouldn’t have been there. He thought that for Free-and-Easy to open that door, sufficient rest was needed.
So in the end, he had to drive through the night!
But Free-and-Easy didn't notice his sacrifice and simply nodded agreeably then closed his eyes to meditate.
This behavior made the old man depressed. Even if you don’t say thank you, at least acknowledge my effort or just say something instead of a ‘meh’.
Forget it, I’ll endure. As long as I can accomplish my wish, I’ll worship you like a deity!
This was how Free-and-Easy entered rest mode while Isolated Star and Young Miss Soung soon followed suit although the Young Miss and Soungxinxin continued their bickering with no impact on them. One was already used to it, another could ignore it.
The night was peaceful but broken by the sound of hooves until daybreak when the horses were tired. The journey ended then.
"We are here" Free-and-Easy woke up as soon as the carriage stopped.
“There’s still a bit more distance. After we get off here, we’ll have to walk," said the old man.
Free-and-Easy nodded in understanding and jumped down from the carriage to knock on the door: “Wake up. Get ready. We’re going to walk for a while.”
"What's so urgent I haven't slept enough!" The Young Miss’s complaining voice was heard first.
“Who let you fight with Soungxinxin for such a long time, you can continue sleeping. I won’t wait for you,” Free-and-Easy said irritably and threatened her at the same time.
"I know, I know. I'll be done in a moment. Really!" The young miss continued to grumble, "Nangong Suxin, you're such a troublemaker!!"
"Too lazy to deal with you. Little servant, prepare the things for washing up," Nangong Suxin's voice came out.
"Go wash yourself at the stream outside. I didn't bring any basins!" Xianyao directly refused her request. If it were Guxing, he would have found a way, but not for others. Naturally, Guxing wouldn’t make such an inconvenient demand of him; she had already gone to the stream to wash up.
Xianyao followed Guxing and washed his face and mouth before heading off to gather some firewood and start preparing breakfast...
"Kid, why go through all that trouble for breakfast Just eat dry food; you've prepared plenty of it!" the old man said. He thought starting a fire just for breakfast was a waste of time.
"Breakfast is important. A good start to the morning sets the tone for the rest of the day. If you don't care, then there's no need to complain," Xianyao said as he continued preparing their meal.
Well, just endure it for breakfast time!
Soon, the old man found that this was actually a good idea because the breakfast was delicious and made him feel much more energetic, giving him a great start to his day.
"Kid, your cooking skills are impressive. I didn't expect you to be skilled in music as well as cuisine," the old man commented after finishing Xianyao's meal.
This was the best breakfast he had ever eaten; even though he hadn’t eaten much good food before, he could clearly feel that this cookery was extraordinary.
"Haha..."
"He knows many things. This is nothing special!" The young miss interjected, as if to say it wasn't a big deal.
"Haha..."
"Haha you're kidding! Can’t you come up with something else" The young miss was annoyed by the repeated "hahas."
"Haha..."
"Damn it!"
"Sir, eat more. You look like you lack nutrition," Xianyao ignored the young miss and served another bowl of soup to Guxing.
"I'm not malnourished; they're the ones overindulging..." Guxing looked down, glanced at the young miss and Nangong Suxin, then said.
"What They’re not indulging. The young miss is a bit promiscuous, but everyone else looks well-nourished," Xianyao was puzzled; he had only meant it in terms of nutrition. From their appearance, Guxing seemed malnourished, possibly due to the recent journey and lack of Xianyao's care.
His next statement would usually provoke a reaction from others because no one says such things about someone else, but since it was the young miss—
"What did you say I’m overindulging I’d like to see that happen; unfortunately, SuSu isn’t keen on it!!" The young miss said with a bitter look.
“…”
Sweat, what kind of people are these Would normal people say such things about girls overindulging or reply like this
The old man felt embarrassed; he increasingly found that everyone before him was a bit abnormal. He began to doubt whether betting on them had been right.
"You guys eat slowly, I’ll tidy up and distribute the items," Xianyao didn't notice the old man's doubts; he still needed to divide all his prepared supplies and pack them into backpacks.
This wasn’t each person carrying a different item but splitting everything among everyone so that even if they got separated, everyone would have their survival materials. Otherwise, one person per item might result in missing items if they were apart.
Xianyao didn't think he'd get separated; this was just to be prepared for any situation!
After Xianyao finished dividing the supplies, everyone had eaten and tidied up. He then distributed the backpacks among everyone except Nangong's Third Miss before setting off with the old man leading the way.
The moment he was asked to lead them, the old man immediately started walking forward; he didn't want to waste any more time. If not for looking after Xianyao and company, he probably would have been running at full speed using his light-foot skills by now.
"Xianyao, aren’t you giving me one" Nangong's Third Miss asked as she followed him.
"What for These are heavy tasks. A lady like you wouldn't be able to handle them," Xianyao replied offhand; he considered her a delicate woman.
"Although I’m a talented woman, I was born into martial arts世家, and I know some martial skills too," Nangong's Third Miss said不甘示弱地說道。
“這個我知道,你的內功底子不錯,但你還是一個才女,太文弱了。這件事情你就彆管了。”逍遙搖了搖頭說道,以他的敏銳觸覺又怎麼會不知道南宮三小姐會點武功的事情,並且他還曾經為了大小姐調查過南宮三小姐,更加不可能不知道這一點。
“她一直給人一種錯覺,以為她是那個手無縛雞之力的‘書女’,但實際上,幾個尋常人根本威脅不到她,她還是有點小小的武力。”

"I know that. You have a good foundation in internal kung fu, but you're still a talented woman and too delicate for this task. Don't get involved," Xianyao shook his head.
She had given people the impression of being a weak bookish girl with no fighting skills, but actually, she could handle several ordinary individuals easily; she was not completely unarmed. treat one person each. This speed was incomparable and the quality wasn’t bad either; it might even be better than what Tianyi et al could manage.This made everyone understand two things: first, that...
