Chu Yunyun spent quite a while working inside the apothecary before coming out.
When she came downstairs, she saw Chu Xisheng waiting for them beside a carriage.
It was a luxurious carriage engraved with talisman arrays that dampened jolts.
It had clearly been prepared for Lu Luanli. In her current condition, she could not withstand a bumpy ride.
"What happened just now?" Chu Yunyun looked Chu Xisheng up and down again. "I heard someone challenging you. Was it that Zhou Liangchen?"
Although she had lost her Spiritual Sense, her hearing was still among the finest under heaven. Even through a stone wall, she could hear what Chu Xisheng was doing.
That was also why she had felt comfortable leaving Chu Xisheng outside.
"He challenged me just now, but perhaps he was tired from traveling so long. I defeated him with one saber strike."
Smiling, Chu Xisheng took out the jade pendant and waved it before Chu Yunyun's eyes. "I won a little prize. It's called the Azure Thunder Jade, an eighth-rank magical artifact. It lets you control a little lightning."
Chu Yunyun's gaze, however, was skeptical.
Zhou Liangchen had lost to this brother of hers in one strike? Was Zhou Liangchen that weak?
Still, she really had heard no sounds of fighting outside, only the sound of Chu Xisheng drawing his saber.
Besides, enough strange things had happened to Chu Xisheng today already.
Chu Yunyun shook her head slightly and settled Lu Luanli into the carriage.
On the way back to the city, Chu Xisheng volunteered to drive.
But the carriage had barely gone a few paces before Chu Yunyun chased him aside.
The fellow had no experience driving a carriage at all. He was simply blundering about.
If she let him carry on, sooner or later he would drive
