In the endless void, the warship of the Qingxue family was swiftly flying across the sky.
Nan Dou City was very far from the ancestral land of the Qingxue family, traversing countless heavenly domains, even more expansive than the Eastern Heavenly Realm.
However, unlike the Eastern Heavenly Realm, the South Heavenly Realm had teleportation arrays in its major heavenly domains, allowing for easy crossing across many areas. Therefore, it would take about another month to reach the ancestral land of the Qingxue family.
Although everyone had left Nan Dou City, they remained very vigilant, knowing that the Zhuge family would not let this matter rest easily. Once they had the chance, they would certainly retaliate against them.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! The warship traversed the void, crazily shuttling about to avoid the pursuit of the Zhuge family. However, Qingxue Ming and the others understood clearly that the Zhuge family possessed destiny techniques, making it difficult to truly escape if they were truly being tracked.
Thus, along the way, the Qingxue family members were filled with worry.
āMaster, Iām sorry we couldnāt let you all explore Nan Dou City properly, and left in such a hurry.ā
On the warship, Qingxue Silan said dejectedly. She had wanted to take Qin Chen to explore Nan Dou City, but it had unexpectedly been ruined.
āSilly girl, what are you afraid of? Are you worried that you won't have a chance to visit Nan Dou City again in the future?ā
Qin Chen smiled, gently ruffling Qingxue Silanās hair.
Qingxue Silan immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, not expecting Qin Chen to touch her head. Her face turned as red as a ripe apple, blushing deeply, even her ears turning red.
Uncle Ming and Uncle Bing, observing quietly, suddenly fell silent, feeling quite surprised. The second young lady didnāt seem unhappy at all. It should be noted that in the past, besides the eldest young lady, anyone who touched the second young lady would make her very unhappy.
āChen, Silan is already a grown young lady. Aren't you afraid of making her shy by touching her head like that? Look, Silan's face is all red.ā
You Qianxue reminded from the side.
āNo, Sister Mengxue, as long as Master likes it, Iām fineā¦ā Qingxue Silan blurted out, feeling as though Qin Chen touching her head was like being electrocuted. That intimate action gave her an indescribable feeling, her heart racing as if a little deer was jumping around. She had never felt this way before and didnāt know why she felt this way.
In the past, she would feel very uncomfortable if anyone touched her, but being touched on the head by Qin Chen made her incredibly at ease, as if there was a sense of safety and reliance.
Yet, as soon as she said that, her face became even hotter, as if it were about to drip with blood.
āOh?ā
Qin Chen was also taken aback. He found Qingxue Silan to be incredibly cute, like a child, and couldnāt help but touch her head. He didnāt mean anything by it, but seeing Silanās flushed cheeks made him withdraw his hand. Indeed, Qingxue Silan was also a grown lady, not a child, and it didnāt feel right to touch her like that.
āChen Qing, thereās something I must tell you. We killed so many elders of the Zhuge family in Nan Dou City. The Zhuge family will definitely not let this matter go. I suspect they will secretly follow us and try to take us down, so our journey may not be safe. Although we have already sent news back to our family, our Qingxue family doesnāt have much force deployed around Nan Dou City. I'm afraidā¦ā Uncle Ming spoke up, noticing the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.
āRight, Chen Qing, everyone, for safety's sake, if you want to leave our Qingxue familyās warship, it's fine. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you. I discussed it with Uncle Ming and the others. Next, we will pass through some sparsely populated areas. If you want to leave, you can do so halfway, it wonāt draw attention.ā
