"Miss Er Yun, you really don't recognize me anymore?"

Her heart thumped once, as Yun Qixi turned around and calmly met his gaze. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Of course I know him. How could I not remember when you helped me pass through my ear?"

Wu Ye's expression did not change, but the laughter in his eyes had disappeared unknowingly. Nodding his head, he turned and looked forward, and did not say another word.

Yun Qixi had already mentally prepared herself. Even if Wu Ye had known the Miss Er before, it didn't matter, she just lost her memories. Furthermore, she did not plan to be the Miss Er anymore. If they met again, she could easily tell her. She was not a Miss Er of the Imperial Duke's estate, but rather looked very similar to her.

As the carriage left the boundary of Qingfeng Mountain, the environment changed. On both sides of the road, there were golden ears of wheat.

It was the busiest time of the year, and many people were busy harvesting crops in the fields.

When people heard the sound of hooves, they would take a moment to look up. This was an incredible sight to behold. The women in the fields could no longer keep their eyes open. Forget about these countryside girls who had never seen the world, even the famous Yun Qixi was shocked when she first saw him, based on his appearance.

Although some of the girls were sighing very quietly, the usually intelligent Yun Qixi could still hear them.

Being with such a beautiful man was bound to attract attention.

Wu Ye merely leaned on the door of the car. Facing so many passionate gazes, his expression was calm as usual.

Yun Qixi suddenly laughed, "Do you believe that I can also increase the rate of turning back?"

Wu Ye turned his head, his eyes filled with questions.

Cough cough!

Yun Qixi cleared her throat and took a deep breath.

"A man riding a horse is a mighty man. A galloping horse is like a gale. If you wish to roam the endless fields, your heart will be as vast as the earth …"

Sure enough, her roar successfully attracted the attention of everyone.

Everyone looked at her happily, their faces full of novelty.

To be honest, ever since she came to the Ancient Realm, Yun Qixi had not cried out so happily in such a long time. The moment this voice rang out, she could no longer hold it in, so she simply bawled to her heart's content.

Suddenly, a series of candid laughter rang in her ears. The laughter mingled with the singing, and the carriage galloped through the countryside, leaving behind a series of joyous notes.

To be able to make such a gentle man laugh, Yun Qixi felt a sense of accomplishment.

Wu Ye laughed and stared at her, "I submit, but this lyrics …"

Yun Qixi suddenly realised, wasn't the lyrics a bit too bold? The women of ancient times were so reserved. Who could sing a man's song so loudly? She chuckled, "Please ignore the lyrics. It wasn't my original work."

Wu Ye did not pursue the topic any further. The weird atmosphere from the beginning, seemed to have disappeared with this incident.

The weather was good and the mood was good. But the heavens didn't give him face, and things suddenly changed. The sun had been shining at first, but now it was suddenly overcast. The wind was strong, blowing on his body with a cold whizzing sound.

The people who were working on the farm noticed that the weather was not right and quickly packed up their tools to rush back home.

"It can't really be going to rain, can it? It's such a rare trip, the heavens aren't giving me any face at all." Yun Qixi said gloomily.

Wu Ye looked at the farmhouse near the side of the road and sighed, "It's nothing to us, but to these citizens, the weather has decided their fate."

Yun Qixi followed his gaze and looked over. In the farmyard, there were a couple in their fifties who were rushing to collect the grains in the yard. They were sweating profusely from anxiety.

Yun Qixi had grown up in the countryside and had often heard her grandmother say that if the rice that she had harvested couldn't get the good weather, if she didn't dry it and grew a seedling at home, she would be in trouble. The rice of the couple seemed to have dried up. If they were drenched by the rain or even washed away by the rain, wouldn't it be terrible?

Without another word, she jumped off the carriage and ran over. Without another word, she swiftly began to help them collect the rice.

The couple looked at her with surprise. They only hurriedly thanked her and lowered their heads to continue their work.

It was getting dark and the wind was blowing harder. The rain seemed to have stopped. They were fighting for every second, hoping that the rain would slow down a little.

At some point in time, Wu Ye and Ah Sheng had also joined the group to help. Yun Qixi looked at him in surprise. Sensing her gaze, she raised his head and smiled at her before she lowered his head and continued to stuff the rice into the basket that her aunt took out.

Just as they were about to finish collecting, heavy rain suddenly fell and instantly soaked everyone's clothes. Fortunately, most of the dried rice had already been harvested.

It was raining so hard that they could no longer continue their journey. In order to thank them, the old couple treated them to a meal.

But the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping. Not only that, there was even thunder, so they had to stay at the farmhouse for the night.

Yun Qixi stood at the door and looked at the rain falling down from the roof. From time to time, a ray of light would cut through the dark sky, followed by the rumbling of thunder.

"Afraid of thunder?" Wu Ye's voice sounded from behind her.

"I'm scared!" Yun Qixi nodded honestly.

Wu Ye looked at her in surprise. He thought that she would say that he wasn't afraid. After all, they weren't even afraid of bandits, so what was there to be afraid of?

But, she was truly afraid! She was a gravedigger. As the people said, she had done too many heartless things and would be punished by the heavens. Back then, when she had broken off all ties with her trashy father, trashy father had also pointed at her nose and told her that she would be struck by lightning.

"Really! I'm afraid God will chop me to death before I've lived enough. "

Wu Ye laughed, "God heard what you said, on account of you doing a good deed today, he will not do it."

Yun Qixi turned around and smirked, "I wish that the Heavens are blind and can't see anything."

Wu Ye's expression froze, and then he smiled.

At night, the old woman arranged for Yun Qixi to sleep with her, while Wu Ye and Ah Sheng stayed in the other room.

The old woman had purposely changed into clean bedding. Although it was patched up, the scent of soap was especially intimate.

The old woman was probably tired from all the work and fell asleep very quickly, but Yun Qixi was unable to sleep because the thunder sound was getting louder.

She turned her head and looked at the aunt who was breathing evenly in the dim light. Her face was kind and full of motherhood. She suddenly began to miss her mother.

In the past, whenever there was a thunderstorm, her mother would always hug her, gently patting her back, telling her not to be afraid. However, there would never be again.

Actually, she wasn't afraid. She just liked the feeling of being cared for. She missed this feeling.

Suddenly, a soothing flute sound, accompanied by the sound of rain and thunder, reached her ears.

It was very mystical. The flute music actually caused her heart to gradually calm down.

Slowly, the rain and the thunder seemed to go out of his ears, and the only sound that could be heard was that of the flute. The melodious flute melody was like a kind of lullaby, letting her peacefully fall asleep.

Early the next morning, the sky was clear. After a night of rain, the air was fresher.

Wu Ye was already in the courtyard. When he saw her, he asked her with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Yun Qixi glanced at the jade flute at his waist and smiled, "Because I have your flute sound, so I slept very well."

Wu Ye nodded gently, "Then that's good, after you have recovered your spirit, you can continue on your journey. The Wangyue Mountain is not far off now. "

After saying goodbye to the old couple, they resumed their journey.

It had rained all night yesterday, and even though it was sunny today, the temperature seemed to have dropped by a lot. She was wearing thin clothes when she left the house, and now, she clearly felt cold.

It was probably autumn soon. The so-called "autumn rain or cold rain" was exactly like this.

After walking for about four hours, the carriage stopped at noon.

Wu Ye opened the carriage's curtain, looked out the window, and said: "We have arrived at Wangyue Mountain."

When Yun Qixi got off the car carrying her bag, she sneezed loudly.

Wu Ye asked her from the carriage window, "Are you cold?"

Yun Qixi rubbed her nose, carried her bag on her shoulder and laughed: "It's alright, aren't we climbing the mountain now? It'll be hot in a minute. "Oh right, thank you for bringing me here."

Wu Ye's eyes contained a smile, he shook his head, "No need to thank me, I should be thanking you instead, saving me a lot of money."

"Haha …" Yun Qixi was amused, but when her glory was mentioned, she was extremely pleased, and said with a light voice: "That's right, then can it be considered as me paying the fare?"

Wu Ye laughed and nodded, "Yes."

Yun Qixi waved goodbye as she got off the carriage. Then, she continued to walk forward.

Yun Qixi turned around and glanced up. The so called Wangyue Mountain was indeed different from the other mountains.

In order to get her hands on the debt, she had gone all out even if she had to travel thousands of miles!

She picked up the bag on her back and started walking up the mountain.

The carriage slowed down and finally stopped. The curtain of the carriage was lifted as the long and narrow eyes gazed upon a figure walking up the mountain.

"Young master, are we still leaving?" Asan asked.

Wu Ye put down the carriage's curtain and lightly said, "Let's go, the North Dee's Aphrodite's Hibiscus is just right in place right now. How about we go and bring the seed of Aphrodite's Hibiscus to the Great Swallow?"

"I heard that when the King was young, in order to please a woman with Great Swallow, he once wanted to plant Aphrodisiac in the Great Swallow. However, he had never planted Aphrodisiac before, and said that the water and soil of the Great Swallow could not be planted with Aphrodisiac."

"Too much talk." A faint sound came from the carriage.

Ah Sheng stuck out his tongue and concentrated on driving, not daring to say anything else.

The Wangyue Mountain was very high, and Yun Qixi walked for a long time before she saw a splendid building in the distance.

What she did not know was that, at this moment, the Wangyue Mountain that looked calm on the outside, was already densely covered in dark clouds.
