Outside Of Time - Chapter 791

791 Xu Qing, Do You Have a Dao Companion (3)
As for Yao Feihe, although she was still dressed in palace clothes, the imprisonment and the calamity of her family made her look much more haggard. She was no longer as graceful as when Xu Qing first met her. Instead, she looked more like a mortal.

She looked at Xu Qing and bowed together with Yao Yunhui.

Xu Qing stepped forward to help the elderly people up from the crowd, then looked at Yao Yunhui and the others, finally turning his gaze towards Yao Feihe.

“Marquis Yao is my senior. You all don’t need to be like this.”

“My Yao family will always remember Young Master Xu’s kindness,” Yao Feihe said softly. After that, under the respectful gazes of the surrounding clansmen, she and Yao Yunhui brought Xu Qing into the Yao Residence.

One of the two women stood at the side and the other at the back.

The fragrance permeated the surroundings and Xu Qing felt a little uncomfortable. The little white snake on his wrist quietly stuck its head out and looked around curiously.

Just like that, he went all the way to the main hall of the Yao family.

Marquis Yao stood there and looked at him with a smile.

“Greetings, County Governor.” Xu Qing quickened his pace and bowed respectfully.

Marquis Yao smiled and gestured for Xu Qing to sit down. He didn’t sit at the main seat but moved to the side.

Seeing this, Xu Qing’s respect for him deepened, and he also took a seat at a side position.
As for Yao Yunhui and Yao Feihe, they personally poured tea for the two of them.

Yao Yunhui was the one who poured tea for Xu Qing.

She poured tea into the cup in front of Xu Qing, and looked at him. Her expression seemed a bit trance-like, as if memories were passing by before her eyes.

She never expected that in less than two years, the new Sword Holder back then had actually reached such a stage.

This trance caused the tea to overflow and spread on the table. Xu Qing turned his head and glanced at her.

Only then did Yao Yunhui react and hurriedly take a few steps back.

Yao Feihe was also in a daze.

The source of complexity in her heart was different from Yao Yunhui but it was also very deep. She still remembered that when she first saw Xu Qing, it was her best friend, Zi Xuan, who introduced him to them.

At that time, she actually didn’t care too much. After all, Xu Qing had only been a small Sword Holder back then. Even if he had the emperor’s recognition, he still hadn’t grown up.

As for her, she was Marquis Yao’s younger sister and had a place in the Imperial City.

She talked with him back then because she valued Zi Xuan. She believed that Zi Xuan’s future was limitless. With her talents, she could easily stand by a great figure and deter anyone from disrespecting her in the slightest.

However, what followed was the upheaval of her judgment. She saw Xu Qing again, and this time, the other party was already the publicly acknowledged future county governor of Fenghai County. Her brother had also cleared his name because of Xu Qing and her entire race had avoided death because of him.

At that moment, she recalled the past. It turned out that Xu Qing, who was beside Zi Xuan back then, was originally a towering tree. It was just that she didn’t recognize him.

How could she not be in a daze?

Amidst this trance and complexity, she felt even more envious of Zi Xuan.

Marquis Yao also noticed his sister and daughter’s expressions. He was a little surprised and his expression couldn’t help but be strange. He looked at Xu Qing and then at his daughter. After that, his gaze swept past his sister.

He coughed.

Yao Yunhui and Yao Feihe immediately lowered their heads and left the main hall.

At that moment, only Marquis Yao and Xu Qing were left in the main hall.

Marquis Yao looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever as he looked at Marquis Yao.

A long time later, a smile appeared on Marquis Yao’s face.

“Xu Qing, you don’t have a Dao companion yet, right?”

Xu Qing started. Before he could speak, the little white snake in his sleeve instantly stuck its head out and stared at Marquis Yao with an unfriendly gaze.

“Gurgle, gurgle!”

Marquis Yao swept his gaze over and smiled slightly, no longer mentioning this matter. Instead, he made a grabbing posture, taking out an item and placing it in front of Xu Qing.

This was a blood-colored lantern in the shape of a wing.

“This lantern is for you.”

Marquis Yao spoke slowly with deep meaning.
