The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.
Chapter 32: Eternal Regret
Chu Qianqiu plans to leave Clear Pond Town in a few days.
Originally, he could have left now, but considering his beloved wife's health, he plans to postpone it for a few more days.
A few days later, everyone is eager to go.
Chu Qianqiu collects everyone's luggage into his storage ring, allowing everyone to travel lightly.
It must be said that the internal space of his storage ring is indeed exaggerated. Until now, its limit has not been determined.
After solving the luggage problem, everyone wears simple clothes that don't look too luxurious, to avoid being targeted by bandits on the way.
Then, in pairs or threes, everyone sits on their horses and leaves in a grand manner.
These horses have been prepared by them for a long time and are now finally being put to use.
Led by Chu Qianqiu, everyone follows behind him and heads towards the stone road leading out of Clear Pond Town.
Along the way, the residents of the town noticed something unusual and came out to see.
When they saw that the Chu family members were going out in large numbers, they knew that something was wrong today.
Until they found out that the Chu family members were leaving, everyone felt reluctant and followed closely to bid farewell.
The Chu family is currently the strongest family in Clear Pond Town and has a good reputation for various reasons. Everyone loves and respects them.
Now, with the departure of a pillar of the town, Clear Pond Town will become a small place for ordinary people to live, and everyone's hearts are filled with mixed feelings.
The people who have been helped by Chu Qianqiu and cured of malaria kneel down and cry behind the grand procession of the Chu family.
The girls in the town also look at the young man riding at the front with reluctance, their eyes turning red as they admire his handsome appearance.
As the head of the Chu family, Chu Qianqiu has done a lot for Clear Pond Town.
The parents of these girls have also received great blessings from him.
They have also fantasized about spending their whole lives repaying their family's debts.
Being able to become a servant girl serving Chu Qianqiu is their ultimate wish, something they long for.
Unfortunately, people have different paths, and the Chu family's business is too big. Perhaps they can no longer accommodate these ordinary girls within their clan.
They are also too embarrassed to offer themselves and lack the courage to do so.
From now on, this will become their lifelong regret.
...
Turning around, as Chu Qianqiu is about to leave, he looks back at the familiar scenery.
This time, he is truly leaving, leaving the place where he has been since childhood. How can he not feel sentimental?
"Child, have a safe journey!"
A voice calls out to him as he is lost in thought.
Chu Qianqiu looks and sees that it is Old Mu, who has come to see him off.
"Old Mu, take care of yourself!"
"Child, you take care too, and remember to fulfill my final wish."
"Also, Clear Pond Town will always be your home. You are welcome to come back anytime!"
"Mmm... I will definitely do that!"
...
The journey is long, with mountains and clouds.
Chu Qianqiu and his group have already traveled a long distance from Clear Pond Town and are now on the mountain road to Moon Phoenix City.
As a small town nestled in the mountains, even if the Chu family members are riding horses, it will take them half a month to reach the territory of the Rising Sun Empire.
During this time, they will also pass through a small plain, a war-ravaged wasteland, and an abandoned ruined city.
After passing through the ruins of the city, they would officially enter the city of Yuefeng and arrive in the jurisdiction of the Sunrising Empire.
However, before that, they might need to pay attention to the traces of bandits.
It is said that there are bandits living in the abandoned city in the wilderness.
These bandits do not have a fixed time of appearance and could emerge at any time.
To be on the safe side, Chu Qianqiu decided to take a detour with his family and avoid that area, taking a longer route.
The disadvantage of taking a longer route is that it would take a few more days to reach their destination, but the advantage is obvious - it would be less likely to be targeted by bandits.
This time, they brought enough food for the journey, so they didn't have to worry about running out.
Even if it wasn't enough, they could hunt for some wild game and roast it to eat during the night rest.
There are also streams in the forest where they can catch shrimp and fish, so they won't go hungry no matter what.
At this moment, Xiaoyuehan was sitting in front of her father's horse, her waist wrapped in a silk cloth to prevent her from falling off the horse.
She kept looking around, as if enjoying the scenery, but in fact, she was surveying the enemy and checking for any signs of enemies nearby.
As a reincarnated powerhouse, Xiaoyuehan had a strong sense of vigilance, especially after the painful experience of being ambushed in her previous life.
Now, her father was taking her to move, and of course, she was curious about the new place, but she had to arrive alive.
Even though this was the Lower Realm, powerful individuals were not found everywhere.
But her current strength was not great either, and her father had just barely reached the Foundation Building stage.
To be honest, even if it wasn't a powerhouse who made a move, as long as they encountered a few bandits at the Foundation Building stage, they could easily wipe them out.
"Xiaoyuehan, why are you always looking around?"
"Are you hungry? Here, Dad will give you a chicken neck to eat."
Seeing her daughter acting a bit restrained, Chu Qianqiu thought she was hungry and took out a salted chicken neck from his storage ring and handed it to her.
Xiaoyuehan took it with her small hand, feeling speechless. She didn't know if she should say something or not, but in the end, she obediently started nibbling on it.
"Dad, your chicken neck is really delicious."
"Is it? I coated it with my secret sauce. If you want more, I have plenty."
During their conversation, it seemed ordinary, but unfortunately, they were both thinking about their own things.
A while later, a hawk flew across the sky, catching Xiaoyuehan's attention.
"Sure enough, we've been targeted so quickly?"
She thought to herself that she had already discovered something before anyone else noticed anything unusual.
The hawk that flew by just now was very strange, with spiritual energy flowing on its body.
It could be determined that this hawk was definitely not ordinary, at least a first-stage demonic beast.
And in this mountainous area, demonic beasts were basically non-existent.
So the hawk that just flew by might be a pet raised by someone, wandering outside during the day, perhaps collecting information for its owner.
What kind of person would need to collect information?
Bandits were one of them.
Xiaoyuehan quickly came to a conclusion.
It seems that the Chu family and their group, who were now marching in a grand manner, had been targeted by a certain force.
This force might not have any immediate plans for them because they had not yet revealed their identities and the wealth they possessed.
If, in the future, this hawk continues to circle above them or occasionally appears, it means that the force is continuously observing them.
Once those guys are sure that they have a large amount of treasure on them, they will start planning.
So, assuming that these guys are really bandits, there must be cultivators among them with considerable strength, capable of using demonic beast methods to observe the situation, and they won't attack ordinary people, only going for big targets!
