A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 225: Walking on the Waves Under the Moon

Xie Lei was also watching from the side, and after the manager left, he came over.

"Qiqi, you two have saved people again and given away a flashlight and an ordnance shovel. These are rare items and you are not allowed to give them away in the future," said Xie Lei.

"Okay, Brother Xie Lei. As you wish." Qiqi said mischievously.

"You guys should go and rest quickly. If you don't, it will be dawn soon." Xie Lei said.

"Okay, Brother Xie Lei, you should go and rest too."

Qiqi woke up early in the morning. "Qiqi, sleep a little longer. It's still raining and I'm afraid it won't stop until the afternoon. I've also told my parents-in-law to have breakfast first so they don't have to wait for us. You should sleep a little longer," Zhou Jingze said.

"Okay, I'll sleep for a while." Qiqi closed her eyes and fell asleep again. Although she was only responsible for lighting last night, it was a bit cold on a rainy day, so Qiqi was a little tired.

Xie Lei had the storekeeper bring the food to his parents' room, and they all ate breakfast with them. They all knew Qiqi and the other two were tired from saving people, so they asked them to rest a bit. By noon, the sky had cleared up. Xie Lei had the guards pack up, and Qiqi had woken up and was eating lunch with his parents.

They set off quickly. The shopkeeper told them that if they rode quickly they would reach the next city that night.

The steward came to see them off. The two rescued people were still unable to get out of bed, so he asked the steward to thank Qiqi and the others.

Qiqi said goodbye to the steward, and Zhou Jingze had the guards leave a thousand taels of silver for the steward to use for road construction. The steward knelt and kowtowed three times to Qiqi and the others as they departed, thanking them for the silver and their kindness in saving his life.

Xie Lei ordered the guards to ride faster on the smooth road, lest they be unable to reach the capital before dark.

They finally reached Lufu City before dark. Xie Lei's nervousness finally settled. He was worried the carriage wouldn't make it to the city. It would be dangerous for them to rest in the wild.

Qiqi was unaware of Xie Lei's nervousness; she was leisurely observing the city's buildings. Zhou Jingze had already instructed the guards to report to Fuxiangju and have them prepare dinner.

When they arrived at Lu Fu Xiang Ju, the shopkeeper was already waiting downstairs. He let them go upstairs and the food was served quickly. The children were all hungry.

Jiang Shuoan quickly told them to eat quickly and not to starve the children. The food at Fuxiangju was delicious, and the children ate it with great relish. Even Jiang Shuoan, Zhao Yunniang, and their uncle praised the food.

The shopkeeper at Fuxiangju arranged a room for them. After they finished their meal and went to rest, the shopkeeper came up and reported on the recent events. He explained the business done by the Anmen Sect and the news from the Hidden Sect. He told Qiqi everything, no matter how big or small.

Qiqi learned from these reports that the martial artists were interested in the gold mines. Who wouldn't be interested in gold mines? It was money. The martial artists wanted to rob the gold they were transporting.

Zhou Jingze beckoned the secret guards and instructed them to arrange for their men to rush to Wulian Mountain as soon as possible and tell Wu Yueming, the prefect, to send more men to guard the gold mine. He also arranged for the secret guards to escort the gold to the imperial city during this period.

Zhou Jingze also sent a white pigeon to the Lingxiao Sect's trained guard leader, asking him to arrange a few martial arts masters to protect the people transporting the gold. After the delivery, they were to guard the gold mine to prevent martial artists from robbing the gold.

Qiqi watched Brother Jingze arrange everything in an orderly manner. She said nothing and comforted him, "Don't be so nervous. Maybe the martial artists are just thinking about it. They might not dare to rob. If they really dare to rob, we will get the news and rush over in a few seconds."

"Qiqi, I'm not nervous. I'm just worried that they will harm the people in the gold mine. I don't want them to work hard mining and worry about their physical safety." Zhou Jingze said.

"You arrange the guards now, they will be here in a few days, don't worry. Let's go and have a rest, we still have to travel tomorrow," said Qiqi.

The two of them flew to the roof of the hotel, took a look around, and saw Brother Xie Lei sitting on the roof as well.

"Brother Xie Lei, you are here too. You can go and have a rest first. Brother Jingze and I will stay here to enjoy the scenery. The secret guards will come up to guard here soon. Brother Jingze has already made arrangements. Don't worry." Qiqi said.

"You are really thoughtful and have arranged everything properly. I will go down to see my parents first, and you should go to bed early." After Xie Lei said this, he flew down.

"Xie Lei, you treat our parents better than I do." They sat down on the roof. Zhou Jingze put a cloak on Qiqi to keep her warm.

They looked at the surrounding scenery. Zhou Jingze released his spiritual sense to investigate every move around him. He retracted his spiritual sense only after he knew there was no danger.

Qiqi also put her head on Jingze's shoulder and looked at the night in the distance. Although it rained yesterday, the moon was still very bright today, shining on thousands of homes. The moonlight sprinkled on the lake, and the shimmering waves were beautiful.

"Qiqi, let's fly around the lake and step on the moonlight using the Lingbo Weibu technique." Zhou Jingze said.

Qiqi immediately became energetic, "Okay, Brother Jingze." She stood up first.

Hand in hand, they flew toward the lake. They moved gracefully, their feet tapping the water, creating ripples. Moonlight shone on them, like a pair of immortals descended to earth.

A few people remained awake, admiring the scenery by the lake. They spotted the two figures treading water on the surface. The beautiful scene left them transfixed. They forgot to make a sound, fearing any noise would disturb them. They watched in tacit understanding, wanting to engrave this beautiful scene in their hearts forever.

I don’t know who was leading the child, but the child shouted, “Wow, it’s a god. It’s so wonderful. I saw a god. The god has come down to earth. It’s so beautiful. It’s so wonderful.” Her voice reached the ears of Qiqi and Zhou Jingze.

"Brother Jingze, we've been discovered."

"We're so far away, even if they find us, they won't be able to see our faces. We'll just play our own games, and when you've had enough, we'll teleport back. Let them mistake us for gods."

"Okay, let's have some fun." Hand in hand, they glided across the water. Their steps were graceful, like dancing on the surface. The water was like a mirror, and they glided gracefully, Qiqi laughing happily. Their laughter infected the crowds at the lake, and more people flocked to the shore. They all admired the sight of them flying across the water.

They slid farther and farther, and slid into the lake. They also stepped on the lake water with their feet. The water droplets they stepped on splashed and looked like pearls in the moonlight, emitting colorful light.

Qiqi was also tired from playing, "Brother Jingze, let's go back"

"Okay, go back and rest." The two of them disappeared without a trace in a flash.

Everyone was shocked.
