Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Rescue (2)_1

Peng Shi bowed to Dugu Qianye and said, "Thank you both for the rescue. Without you, we would have probably faced more dangers than luck today."

"No need to be polite."

Chen Yiran got off the carriage with Sang Yu and followed her down. She hadn’t understood why Dugu Qianye had changed his mind and listened to her daughter’s words before she knew the reason. She said to everyone, "We should leave here first. They both need to heal."

Several people got on the beast carriage and continued moving forward.

Dugu Qianye took out two Sacred Rhinoceros Pills and gave them to Gao Ming and Peng Shi. After some hesitation, they finally took the Elixir and swallowed it, then closed their eyes to heal.

Both of them were seriously injured, otherwise she wouldn’t have given them the Sacred Rhinoceros Pills.

Before it got dark, they found an open space to camp. After setting up the tents, the Sang Yu mother and daughter started a fire, and Dugu Qianye roasted meat on the side, occasionally joking with them. There were already two plates of roasted meat on the temporarily set up table.

Under the effect of the top-grade Sacred Rhinoceros Pill, Gao Ming and Peng Shi’s injuries recovered significantly. They changed out of their blood-stained clothes in the tent and tidied themselves up. When they came out, they both looked like elegant gentlemen.

"You have recovered well," Dugu Qianye said, knowing the extent of their recovery just by looking at them.

"Thank you for the Elixir, Young Master Bai Li," said Gao Ming, who was tall and slender, somewhat resembling Gao Liang.

"That rack for roasting meat is really strange," Peng Shi commented as he looked at Dugu Qianye’s meat roasting setup.

"This is something I had specially made. Sit down and drink some porridge first, the roasted meat will be ready to eat in a while," Dugu Qianye said, skillfully turning the last batch of meat.

Gao Ming and Peng Shi sat down, looking at the porridge on the table without drinking. The hosts hadn’t started eating; how could they start?

"Do you always enjoy your travels like this?" Looking at the table, chairs, and the strange roasting rack, and the utensils for cooking porridge, Peng Shi couldn’t help asking. Every time they went out, they just nibbled on dry food and sat on the ground. How could there be such a big difference?

Dugu Qianye place the roasted meat on the plate and said, "Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet, drink more porridge and eat less roasted meat."

Initially, Gao Ming and others were a bit reserved, but they quickly set their embarrassment aside.

"Mm, mm, Young Master Bai Li, your roasted meat is really delicious. This is the best roasted meat I’ve ever had!" Peng Shi said while eating.

Gao Ming didn’t say anything but kept eating and nodded in agreement.

"This porridge is also very tasty, melts in your mouth, and is richly flavored," said Chen Yiran, who was also tasting Dugu Qianye’s cooking for the first time, surprised that even such simple dishes could be so delicious.

"Do you know who sent the assassins?" Dugu Qianye asked. Yet she inwardly marveled, noting regardless of their skilled consumption, there was a certain grace to their hurried eating.

Besides them, no one else would think to do this. Gao Ming said after downing a skewer of meat, clearly not wanting to delve deeper into the topic. To remove himself swiftly from those determined to end him, besides those people, he couldn’t think of anyone else. Today’s incident was an accident, yet also an opportunity. Having been saved by Dugu Qianye and the others, he was grateful, not wanting to drag them into his own vendetta.

Seeing that Gao Ming did not want to talk more, Dugu Qianye did not continue asking but quietly ate the porridge. After dinner, Dugu Qianye cleaned up everything and said, "Have a good rest tonight, we’ll set off early tomorrow morning," then went into his own tent. Gao Ming and Peng Shi entered one tent, while the Sang Yu mother and daughter entered another.

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, the five people took the beast carriage and set off for Tong City, arriving before noon.

Upon entering the city, Gao Ming immediately found an inn for the four people including Dugu Qianye, then he went back to the City Lord’s Mansion alone. Some issues needed to be resolved so that his brother could follow Young Master Bai Li without any worries for the future.

"Young master, the eldest son has returned," the butler reported to Gao Yi in the study.

Gao Yi looked up and saw a familiar figure pushing the door and entering.

"I’m going to take action," said Gao Ming.

Hearing this, Gao Yi felt a mix of pain and helplessness as he asked, "Have you really decided?"

"I was attacked last night, a Phantom Ancestor, six Phantom Kings. This was the fifth time this year. I gave them opportunities, which they didn’t cherish," Gao Ming spoke, "Moreover, I’m just informing you, not seeking your advice. Don’t worry, I won’t take their lives."

Learning of the assassination attempt, an angry expression crossed Gao Yi’s face, then he leaned back in his chair and said, "Do as you wish."

Gao Ming turned and left, saying just before stepping out of the room, "I want the fourth brother to have no worries."

Gao Yi leaned tiredly back in his chair, seeming to have aged a lot in that moment.

"Brother, you’re back."

Just as Gao Ming walked out of the courtyard, he saw Gao Liang waiting for him.

"It’s been a few months, you’ve grown quite a bit!" Gao Ming walked over and patted his shoulder.

"How long will you stay this time?"

"That’s uncertain. I’ll leave after sorting things out. Come on, I’ll introduce you to a few people."

"Big brother!"

Gao Liang followed Gao Ming to the inn and just saw Dugu Qianye and others preparing to eat. He joyfully ran over and sat down, saying, "Big brother, you came to Tong City without telling me."

"We just arrived a little while ago," Dugu Qianye smiled and said, "I entered the city with your elder brother."

"How did you come to be together?"

"Young Master Bai Li and his group rescued me and Peng Shi last night," Gao Ming came over and sat down to explain.

Gao Liang’s originally smiling face suddenly turned serious as he asked, "They made a move again? Were you hurt?"

Gao Ming nodded and said, "It’s nothing. Young Master Bai Li’s medicine is very effective."

"Big brother, thank you," Gao Liang gratefully looked at Dugu Qianye. Since his brother mentioned it this way, it indicated that their injuries last night were serious. Then he said fiercely, "I’m going to settle the score with them."

"Fourth brother, don’t be impulsive," Gao Ming quickly grabbed Gao Liang, saying, "I’ve already decided to completely resolve matters this time, so don’t mess around, leave it to me. It’s also time to wrap up previous arrangements."

"Oh? Gao Liang, you’re here!" Sang Yu and Chen Yiran came down from upstairs, greeted him, seeing Gao Liang.

"Sang Yu, have you handled your business?"

"It’s taken care of. Let me introduce you, this is my mother." Sang Yu and Chen Yiran took their seats and said, "Mother, this is Gao Liang."

"Hello, Auntie" Gao Liang greeted Chen Yiran.

"Hehe, I’ve heard a lot about you from Yu’er," Chen Yiran nodded and said.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let’s eat. We can talk after the meal," Dugu Qianye said.

"Okay."

"Okay."

After the meal, Gao Ming and Peng Shi went out together. He wanted to resolve the local matters quickly, as those people had jumped around for far too long.
