388. Chapter 388: Aren't you curious who was chasing me just now?

The young girl examined Qiao Sheng closely and said, "Benefactor sister, what's your name? You're amazing; I'm Yin Li, sixteen years old."

"A name is just a label; you don't need to worry about it."

Qiao Sheng turned and left.

Yin Li caught up and said, "Sister, what did you just use? Is it a confusing Medicine? Did you buy it, or did you make it yourself?"

The little girl was quite talkative.

She also had a lot of questions.

Qiao Sheng didn't speak.

Yin Li didn't stop because of that; she pulled a red fruit from her pouch and handed it to Qiao Sheng, saying, "Sister, take this fruit and eat it; it's good for your health."

Qiao Sheng glanced at the red fruit she offered; she had never even seen such a fruit before, let alone eaten it.

"Thank you."

Qiao Sheng accepted it but didn't eat it.

Yin Li didn't follow her anymore.

I thought they would never meet again.

Who would have thought.

They met again the next day.

Someone was chasing her.

She climbed onto the carriage Qiao Sheng was riding in.

"Go!"

Seeing her like that, Qiao Sheng knew she was fleeing, and immediately told the driver.

The carriage started moving.

Yin Li turned her head to look outside, sat down and was about to speak when Qiao Sheng poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.

She took it, finished drinking, and asked Qiao Sheng, "Sister, you didn't eat the red fruit, did you?"

She could tell?

Qiao Sheng still hadn't spoken.

Yin Li went on: "The red fruit I gave you can heal your face."

Qiao Sheng thought for a moment and then said to her, "You don't know this; I deliberately made my face look like this. I fled from home to avoid an arranged marriage, afraid of being caught and taken back."

If she didn't explain.

She was afraid she would ask.

So she just said it outright.

Yin Li chuckled and said, "I also ran away from home, but not to escape a marriage—I just didn't want to stay at home all the time…"

They sat for a while.

Seeing that Qiao Sheng didn't ask anything.

Yin Li couldn't hold back and said, "Sister, aren't you curious who was chasing me just now?"

"Not curious."

Qiao Sheng replied to her.

Without waiting for Yin Li to say anything.

Qiao Sheng opened her mouth and said, "You're just a little girl; it's better not to run around everywhere, because if you run into someone far stronger than you, it'll be trouble."

Encountering someone stronger than her?

Could it be that she saw she knows a bit of martial arts?

Yin Li replied with a smile, "Sister, I'll be careful."

She then found other topics to chat with Qiao Sheng about.

They chatted for a good while without getting off the carriage.

Qiao Sheng asked her, "I'm leaving the city; where are you headed?"

Yin Li said, "I'm just out for fun; sister, where are you going?"

Where to?

Qiao Sheng thought about it and didn't tell her, "The place I'm going is quite far."

"Oh."

Yin Li responded, "Then I'll ride a bit longer."

They hadn't yet reached the next town.

Qiao Sheng began to feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Yin Li noticed Qiao Sheng's odd state and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"It's an old ailment."

Qiao Sheng showed a faint smile and said.

Because of her.

It messed up Qiao Sheng's plans.

As a result.

Shi Lin soon caught up to Qiao Sheng ahead of her, and besides, he had taken a shortcut.

He knows Thus Technique: Lightness Skill.

He employed Thus Technique: Lightness Skill to leap over the mountains and forests.

Naturally, (they) walked a little faster than Qiao Sheng.

Shi Lin found the nearest town, had the Town Magistrate rigorously screen travelers, and then set off on horseback back to search for Qiao Sheng.

Not even two days.

Shi Lin, as (they) walked along a mountain trail, saw a carriage pull out from within; after a moment's thought, (they) rode the horse to the side to watch covertly.

As the distance grew ever shorter.

Shi Lin saw a head jut out of the carriage window; seeing it wasn't Qiao Sheng, (they) were just about to withdraw the gaze when the woman said, "Sister Sheng, the mountains here are quite beautiful."
