Mu Qing smiled brightly and said, âWeâre on a ship. Weâll be able to leave the sea of the Jade Nation in two days.â
Mu Ting frowned and said, âI donât understand. Qingâer, whatâs going on?
Where are Junior Sister and Little Junior Brother? Where are they?â
Mu Qing poured him a cup of tea made from Chameleon grass. âDonât worry, Senior Brother. Theyâre also on the ship. You woke up first. Junior Sister and Junior Brother are next door. Eat something first. Iâll bring you over to see them later.â
âOh.â Mu Ting was still a little stunned. He took a few steps in a daze and sat down on a stool. He picked up the cup of Chameleon grass tea and took a sip. It was so bad that he almost vomited. âWhat tea? Itâs so bad!â
Mu Qing was laughing uncontrollably! The first time, he was also in such a sorry state. However, after drinking a few times, he felt much better. Even his dry throat did not feel uncomfortable anymore.
âItâs good stuff. Drink it, Senior Brother,â Mu Qing said.
Mu Ting was indeed thirsty. He pinched his nose and finished the tea in his cup.
Mu Qing handed him another plate of snacks. It was a very exquisite pastry. It was small, yellow-orange, and emitted an alluring crispy and milky fragrance. Mu Ting swallowed his saliva and tasted one under Mu Qingâs instructions.
Before their masterâs sect was destroyed, they were considered to be living in luxury, but they had never eaten such exquisite and delicious snacks. When they took a bite, they were crispy and soft, with a hint of sweetness in the saltiness. It was sweet but not greasy. Mu Ting felt like he was about to ascend to heaven.
âWhat is this?â He ate several in a row.
âCrab roe crisp,â Mu Qing said. âItâs a snack from the Central Plains. The chef on the ship learned it from the Central Plains people. They made it quite well.â
Mu Ting nodded, not fully understanding. In the end, he did not forget the serious matter and asked Mu Qing, âBy the way, what exactly happened? Why are we on the ship?â
Mu Qing told his senior brother about his experience after escaping. ââ¦I originally wanted to take a boat back to save you, but who knew that the Sacred Clan would target me? Fortunately, Young Master Yan and the others saved meâ¦â
âThe Young Master Yan youâre talking about is from the Central Plains?â Mu Ting combined Mu Qingâs words and guessed.
Mu Qing said, âThatâs right. They also want to go to the Sorcerer Clan, so Iâve agreed to them. As long as they can save you, Senior Sister, and Junior Brother, weâll bring them to the Sorcerer Clan.â
Mu Ting frowned and said, âYou donât even know what their goal is and you agree to bring them to the Sorcerer Clan? What if they have ill intentions
towards the Sorcerer Clanâ¦
âDonât worry, Senior Brother. Theyâre not evil people,â Mu Qing said. She looked at the hourglass on the wall. âItâs time for Senior Sister to wake up. Iâll go see her. Senior Brother, eat the snacks first. Iâll get the kitchen to make something else later.â
Mu Ting looked at the exquisite snacks on the plate that he had never eaten in his life and deeply felt that the other partyâs background was not simple. Was it really not like asking a tiger for its skin to make a deal with such a group of people?
While Mu Ting was deeply worried about his and his junior brothersâ situation, Mu Qing came to Pingâerâs room. His senior sister, Zhou Yuyan, was temporarily staying here.
As soon as he arrived at the door, she heard a rude shout. âWhere is this? Who are you?!â
Right on the heels of that, it was Pingâerâs soft voice. âMiss Zhou, youâre awake? Iâm Pingâer. This is my room. My Young Madam instructed me to take care of you. Youâve been unconscious for the entire night. Are you hungry? Iâll go get you something to eat.â
âHow do you know who I am?â Zhou Yuyan glared at Pingâer warily.
âIâ¦â Pingâer was stunned by her question. Youâre who Young Madam said you are. Is there a need to ask?
âMiss Pingâer, go busy yourself first. Iâll take care of my senior sister.â Mu Qing appeared in time and helped Pingâer out.
Pingâer carried a bunch of clothes and left.
Zhou Yuyan had been locked up in the prison for so many days and was already in a sorry state. When she was unconscious, Pingâer had changed her clothes. She could not wear Yu Wanâs clothes and was wearing Pingâer.
Zhou Yuyan looked at the coarse linen clothes and frowned in disdain!
Mu Qing glanced at her and walked over with a smile. He sat down by the bed. âThere arenât many female guests on the ship. Itâs the middle of the night, so we can only find Miss Pingâerâs clothes. Make do with it first.â
This set was new to Pinger. She couldnât bear to wear it the first time.
Zhou Yuyan finally had a good expression when she saw Mu Qing. âQingâer, where are we?â
Mu Qing explained what he had explained to Mu Ting to Zhou Yuyan. Zhou
Yuyanâs reaction was also very surprised. âWhat? You agree to bring them to the Sorcerer Clan just like that? You donât even know what they are.. What if they kill us when we reach the Sorcerer Clan?â
