When Xiao Ling turned around again, the dust on her face had faded a lot, and her slightly tender skin could be seen vaguely, which was very different from usual.

Lin Qi's expression changed slightly, he glanced at Xiao Ling a few more times, and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Ling, why don't you clean up all the dust?"

"Sir, Xiao Ling is wearing these clothes. No matter how clean her face is, she is not as good-looking as Yang Xueyue. That's all!" Xiao Ling looked down at the shabby clothes on her body and smiled sweetly.

Lin Qi couldn't force himself, so he patted the maroon saddle and said, "Little Ling, get on the horse!"

"Xiao Ling, just follow me!" Xiao Ling hurriedly declined.

Lin Qi remained unmoved and just stared at Xiao Ling's face quietly.

Seeing that Lin Qi was not joking but looked serious, Xiao Ling had no choice but to coyly ride on the black horse skillfully under the gaze of passers-by.

Lin Qi walked forward, holding the reins of the horse in the crowd, with an indifferent expression, heading towards the Yang Mansion.

I'm going to the Yang Mansion to attend a banquet today, so I need to be a little more secretive.

With the addition of Xiaoling, the townspeople of Qinggu Town will no longer have any connection with their impression of Lin Qi in terms of their dress.

It can be regarded as a kind of disguise.

Although Xiao Ling's clothes were a little shabby, she was still a woman. Lin Qi did not have the habit of letting Xiao Ling follow behind the black horse.

The best way to do this is to act as a groom yourself.

At this time, Xiao Ling looked at Lin Qi's figure, with a hint of joy in her eyes, as if nothing around her could attract her attention.

The corners of her mouth curved slightly as she thought: "My Lord is different from other warriors!"

But after a while, the passers-by around them started pointing at the two of them:

"A warrior is holding a horse and a beggar is sitting on it. This is truly unheard of and unseen!"

"This beggar seems to be a woman. What is his relationship with this handsome warrior?"

"No matter what the relationship is, this beggar doesn't understand any etiquette or dignity. I wonder what this warrior is thinking!"

"Warrior and beggar, no matter how you look at them, they are both disgusting!"

…

After hearing these comments, Xiao Ling's face turned redder and redder, and he looked a little lonely and helpless.

She leaned forward slightly and whispered: "Sir, Xiao Ling should keep walking on the road!"

Lin Qi also heard these comments, turned around and smiled at Xiao Ling, and said: "Xiao Ling, have you forgotten what I told you before? Just ignore them and pretend you didn't hear them!"

After Xiao Ling heard this, he no longer felt any burden. He just stared at Lin Qi's back. Shui Ling's eyes were shining brightly. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

The main entrance of Yang Mansion.

There are not some stone statues of the Nine Golden Leopards, the national spirit of the Stone Forest Kingdom, but two simple alchemy furnaces, indicating the Yang family's status as alchemists in Qinggu Town.

Yang Xueyue, dressed in a light yellow dress, had already arrived here before Wu Shi.

Several maids stood aside, looking at Yang Xueyue's figure, each with different thoughts.

However, what they were thinking was similar: What is the distinguished guest that the eldest lady is waiting for?

Throughout the past, the eldest lady has never been so solemn.

Shaoqing, Yang Xueyue saw the black horse coming from a distance, and her eyes were fixed: "The female beggar is here too?"

Thinking of the previous experience in Taohuayuan, although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she still didn't show much hostility.

She is the eldest daughter of the Yang family. She has a respected status in Qinggu Town. How dare she get angry with a beggar?

She still had the air she should have, but her expression still changed slightly.

When Lin Qi walked to the door of the Yang Mansion, Yang Xueyue's weird outfit put a smile on her face, and she joked: "Lin Qi, you are really very careful!"

Lin Qi took off the disguise on his face and put it into the space bag, while Xiao Ling on the side had already dismounted and followed Lin Qi without talking to Yang Xueyue.

Lin Qi smiled calmly and said: "Unnecessary troubles should be avoided if they should be avoided!

This time the Yang family only invited me to come, but Xiao Ling also came with me. I hope Miss Yang won’t be offended!"

"You can bring whoever you want to bring here. The Yang family still has room for people." Yang Xueyue glanced at Xiaoling's delicate little face and said lightly.

The two exchanged a few more polite words, and then, surrounded by several maids, headed towards the interior of the Yang Mansion.

The surrounding maids' eyes lit up when they saw Lin Qi's face, but when they saw Xiao Ling, who was closely following Lin Qi and was dressed like a beggar, there was a trace of doubt in their eyes as they thought:

"No wonder the eldest lady is so cautious. It turns out to be the Lin Qi who helped the Yang family fight against the Pan family!"

"She looks handsome, but the female beggar following behind her looks like an ordinary person. Why can she come to the Yang Mansion and attend the banquet?"

"This beggar must have a certain status in Mr. Lin's eyes, otherwise he would not have been brought into the Yang Mansion."

While the maids were speculating, Yang Xueyue and Lin Qi were chatting and arrived at the main hall of Yang Mansion.

By this time, it was completely dark.

There was a two-meter-long red round table in the middle, filled with a variety of dishes and spiritual wine, with Yang Caide sitting beside it.

The moment he saw Lin Qi, he stood up in a hurry and said with a smile: "Lin Qi, you are here. This time the Pan family was defeated. You have done a lot for my Yang family. You must drink more tonight."

cup."

"I'm just pushing the boat along!" Lin Qi replied casually, his expression unchanged.

Shao Qing, Yang Xueyue, Lin Qi, and Yang Caide were sitting around the table, while Xiao Ling stood behind Lin Qi, looking a little uneasy.

Yang Caide glanced at Xiao Ling's shabby clothes and asked doubtfully: "Lin Qi, who are you?"

Even though she was wearing a beggar's attire, the fact that she was brought to the Yang Mansion by Lin Beggar must have a lot of connections.

As the head of the Yang family, Yang Caide did not have any contempt for Xiao Ling.

"Master Yang, her name is Xiao Ling, she is a friend who lives with me in Peach Blossom Courtyard." Lin Qi replied.

Yang Caide waved to Xiao Ling and said: "Since I am your friend, I am a friend of the Yang family. I don't have so many rules here, so why not sit down?"

After hearing this, Xiao Ling pursed her lips slightly without making any movement.

Lin Qi turned around and glanced at Xiao Ling, who shook her head.

In the Peach Blossom Courtyard, I and Xiao Ling can get along equally.

But now when they arrived at the Yang family, one of the three major families in Qinggu Town, Lin Qi and Xiao Ling were here as guests. Not knowing Yang Caide's character, Lin Qi did not take the initiative to arrange for Xiao Ling to sit down.

At this time, Yang Caide spoke, but Lin Qi didn't care so much and directly pulled Xiao Ling to sit opposite Yang Xueyue.

After Xiaoling sat down, she thanked him and said, "Thank you so much, Master Yang!"

Yang Caide smiled and said: "This is nothing!"

Yang Xueyue looked at the dusty face across from her, without any dissatisfaction.

After a few drinks, the four of us had almost enough food.

Xiao Ling did not drink spiritual wine, but ordinary high-quality wine. His face was still rosy under the surrounding lights, looking particularly attractive.

At this time, Yang Caide took a sip of tea and said softly: "Today, the Military Attaché Office conducted a search on the Yang family and did not find any clues about the mysterious person.

As for the mysterious man who killed Pan Hongshi and saved Xue Yue and you, I thought about it, but I didn't find that a person of this strength is related to the Yang family.

I wonder if you have any other guesses about this mysterious person?"

Lin Qi pondered for a moment and replied: "The Military Attachment attaches great importance to the identity of the mysterious person. It is said that the Pan family was behind this search.

The Pan family is extremely hostile to the mysterious man, but to me, the identity of this mysterious man is not important.

Since he saved Yang Xueyue and me, he must have done it out of goodwill, otherwise why would he do such a thankless thing.

As for my guess about this mysterious man, I have no clue at all.

The mysterious man was able to kill Pan Hongshi and put him in the refining shop. I have never known a warrior of this strength, let alone have any speculation."

Yang Xueyue interrupted at this time and said calmly: "Father, from what I have seen, the Yang family does not need to get to the bottom of this mysterious person's identity, so as not to cause this person's displeasure.

Moreover, the identity of this mysterious man has not been found out for a day. To the Pan family, he is a looming threat. The Yang family can just wait and see what happens."
