Chapter 545: Chapter 544: If So, Once Again

Ye Qingying’s injuries had finally somewhat healed.

Xiaoyao rented a horse carriage and continued to head for the Imperial City with him.

Although they were now within the realms of Beiming Country, the areas far from the Imperial City were surprisingly desolate.

"Master, the people here live such poor lives, yet the climate around doesn’t seem bad; could it be that the crops haven’t grown?"

Xiaoyao sat at the front of the carriage, driving at a leisurely pace along a shaded lane.

With such a fine environment and a pleasant climate, why did the people they passed along the way seem to be living so poorly?

Ye Qingying was sitting in the carriage, resting with his eyes closed.

Although he knew that this girl couldn’t stay idle and was always able to find many topics to talk about, today’s topic had piqued his curiosity.

"What do you know about climate and crops?" She seemed to know quite a lot for someone so young.

"It’s early winter now, but the temperature here isn’t low at all. Based on my estimation, this place should be in a subtropical zone."

Ye Qingying didn’t understand; he had no idea what kind of strange terminology was filling her head.

"What is a ’subtropical zone’?"

"It is... I don’t know how to explain it. I also don’t know where I heard it from."

Ye Qingying felt the urge to laugh; so it turned out to be hearsay.

Even though they were separated by a curtain and, even though Xiaoyao was sitting in front, completely unable to see his expression,

she could still guess what his face looked like even with her eyes closed.

"Master, don’t look down on me; I really do understand."

Xiaoyao held the whip in her hand, not using it on the horse but idly fiddling with it instead.

The horse kept moving forward on its own, not needing her to drive it, as if it could understand her words.

"Master, this subtropical zone is very suitable for farming. Even in winter, vegetables can be grown."

"Although I haven’t grown them myself, I think I have seen a lot. This winter probably won’t be too cold; it won’t snow here."

Ye Qingying said nothing.

The winters here indeed do not bring snow.

In the entire Beiming Country, only the cities to the north experience snow; in other places, it gets cold during winter, but never that cold.

"But Master, why haven’t we seen many greens or even things like potatoes on our way here?"

"Potatoes?"

"This era doesn’t have potatoes?" Xiaoyao tilted her head, with many thoughts flashing through her mind.

Why had she blurted out "this era"? It was as if she belonged to a different time.

However, that wasn’t the point. The point was, she clearly had an idea of what a potato was and could even picture it in her mind.

But the Master had never seen one, and yet she felt that it was normal for him not to have seen one...

"What the hell?" Xiaoyao knocked on her own head, quite perplexed about her own thoughts.

Ye Qingying, on the other hand, didn’t pay attention to her words.

What he cared about was her voice.

Raspy, and at first listen, difficult to the ear.

But after getting used to it, he actually found it quite comforting.

Yet her lovely voice was ruined by his own poison...

Ye Qingying’s long fingers slowly clenched.

What he owed her was more than just one thing.

Just ten days ago, he couldn’t have imagined that this girl would become an important part of his life.

If he had thought of it, would he still have been able to strike Yu Linglong in the same way?

If there were a chance to do it over again...

"Master?" Xiaoyao called out again.

Ye Qingying’s stream of thoughts was abruptly pulled back to the present.

He felt somewhat helpless: "I’m listening."

This girl, not only was she noisy, but she also needed an audience.

If you didn’t listen, she would nag until you did.

Ye Qingying owned up: "I didn’t catch that clearly just now; what were you saying?"
