Forsaken Immortals-Chapter 272 - Arriving At The Destination
Chapter 272 - Arriving At The Destination
Although Bai Rouyun considered her demeanor to be somewhat shrew-like, this was likely due to her age. After noticing how she was behaving, one would instinctively connect her behavior to a spoiled child who did not know how to behave.
From her words, one could see that she had been convinced by her servants to act recklessly, and when it went wrong, she put all the blame on them.
Upon looking at Bai Rouyun, the girl had not become jealous but instead envious and unhappy that it was not her who looked like this.
Such behavior was truly like a child who was used to getting everything she wanted, and such a personality was a bit difficult to deal with.
The staff seemed to be used to her throwing tantrums, and they patiently stood aside, waiting for her river of curse words to end.
Bai Rouyun could not help but tap her chin, deep in thought, as she looked at the girl outside the window.
She had no memories that belonged to this body before her taking possession of it, but she could not help but wonder how she would fare, intelligence wise, compared to this girl..
As far as she understood, her mental age should have stagnated at around five years old, but when looking at this young girl, she instinctively guessed that her behavior was likely to be much more silent and timid, not as outspoken or arrogant as this young woman.
"Well, let us get going."
Bai Rouyun had to admit that this young woman was interesting, but the majority of her interest was due to her claim as Xue Jingyu's fiance.
However, she would not get any conclusive answers by staying here, so she decided to move ahead and use a communication mirror to contact her Brother Rabbit later.
Considering their relationships, he would definitely tell her the truth, so she was no longer in a hurry.
Jiang Wei smiled upon hearing her words, and he began moving forward. The rest of her entourage also noticed that they had begun to move forward once more, and although they were uncomfortable when staying together with Jiang Wei, they would much rather travel alongside him and Bai Rouyun than risk their lives on their own.
The crowd that had been observing the situation all turned somewhat stunned when they witnessed how casually Bai Rouyun left. It was as if she had no interest in acknowledging her fault, and they felt somewhat panicked.
Although there was no direct proof to show that this young lady was the future madam of the Shitian Tower, many still wished to gain her favor, so a group of the stronger experts rushed in front of Bai Rouyun's carriage and tried to block the road.
These experts had all seen the guards that had protected Bai Rouyun, but they did not think that these guards would be ruthless enough to actually harm them.
Although Bai Rouyun likely had an outstanding identity as well, she had to consider that their actions were done on behalf of the Shitian Tower, so she had to acquiesce a little.
No matter what faction Bai Rouyun was from, it would be impossible to rival Shitian Tower, so she would have to swallow her anger anyway.
Unfortunately, these people had not understood Bai Rouyun's decisiveness.
"Clear the road."
Bai Rouyun did not need to ask Jiang Wei to act, the guards from the Eternal Shadow Palace were enough to handle these headless chickens, and a few black shadows flashed by her window, before the sound of wailing cut through the air.
The experts were still alive, but their whole bodies were aching in pain as the guards threw them to the side and returned to their positions.
The rest of the crowd witnessed Bai Rouyun and her guards' ruthless actions, and the ones who had considered moving forward to participate slowly retreated a few steps.
Although they wished to curry favor with the Shitian Tower, they had to be alive to benefit from such connection, so they decisively fell back.
Mo Chu did not care about these people and began steering the carriage forward as soon as the road was cleared. He felt that the entire episode was a waste of time, and would rather keep advancing, so that they could arrive at their destination as soon as possible.
The life on the road was not bad, but it was boring. It was much better to be in a city where they could sleep in soft beds and leisurely stroll the streets.
Cultivating was also a challenge when the carriage continued to drive on the bumpy roads. Although Bai Rouyun was capable of sealing off her connection to many of these disturbances, there would always be a few things that could break her concentration.
The rest of the entourage was quiet along the road. The trip that should have been full of boisterous laughter and happiness had become silent and awkward.
The experts had already been intimidated by Jiang Wei, but upon witnessing the arrival of this many shadow guards, they realized that Bai Rouyun was not easy to deal with. The Eternal Shadow Palace seemed to place great importance on this woman, even if she was rumored to be unfavored.
The rest of their journey was completed in silence. Although they would all gather every evening to eat their dinner together and put up a camp to rest, there was not much conversation between the people.
As they had reached their destination, the roads were so crowded that the speed of the carriage had turned similar to that of a turtle, but the low mood also gradually lifted as the festive atmosphere began to infect those people who had gathered.
