"I am no noble lady, just an ordinary commoner," Ye Qingli said faintly.
"I am merely a physician, not a noble lady."
"Right, I forgot to mention, here, I am also an exceptionally skilled alchemist."
She spoke each word deliberately.
"I advise you, it's best not to provoke me. Otherwise, once I catch you, the consequences will be rather severe."
"Hahaha, hahahaha!"
Upon hearing her words, the man couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.
He thought his ears must be playing tricks on him!
This woman before him claimed to be just an ordinary person?
Was she insane?
Otherwise, how could she utter such a preposterous joke?
"Haha, are you stupid?"
"You say you're an alchemist?"
"Haha, an alchemist? I'd like to see what kind of medicine you can concoct!"
The man's eyes were filled with disdain.
Such a young girl, aspiring to practice alchemy?
This was sheer wishful thinking!
He waved his hand grandly.
"Guards, capture her and bring her to the yamen for interrogation. Let's see if she truly has the skill."
"Yes, young master!"
A group of guards swarmed forward.
Then, a cold smile curved Ye Qingli's lips.
Her figure flickered.
She instantly vanished before their eyes.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of muffled thuds echoed.
The guards who had just approached Ye Qingli were all sent flying!
"Plop, plop!"
They landed on the ground.
A chorus of screams erupted!
"What kind of martial art is this?"
"Could it be a concealment technique?"
Everyone's eyes widened.
Their gazes upon Ye Qingli were filled with shock.
"Not good! She's escaped!"
Someone suddenly shrieked.
"Quick, quickly report this news to the master!"
A flurry of hurried footsteps galloped from afar.
Soon, a troop of figures rushed into the inn.
Seeing a large group of their subordinates lying on the ground, all bruised and battered.
And the man on the ground, clutching his face, rolling in pain.
"What good are you? You let others injure you so badly!"
"Master, we don't know what happened."
The leader said with a crestfallen face.
He also wanted to know what had happened.
"What are you dawdling for? Chase after her!"
He roared in anger.
"This is Dongning City, our territory! Do you want them to kill us all?"
"Yes!"
These men immediately scrambled up from the ground like wolves.
Then, they dispersed and fled the scene.
After they had fled.
A black carriage sped towards the city gate.
Ye Qingli sat in the carriage, her expression calm.
"Xiao He, you stay outside and watch."
"Young Miss, what are you going to do?"
Xiao He asked, confused.
"Since they refuse to leave, then I will personally take action and kill them all!"
A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Those who dared to harass her, regardless of their identity, would not be spared!
"Xiao He, just wait for me outside."
Ye Qingli patted her shoulder.
Then, she leaped down from the carriage.
She waited for her outside.
Ye Qingli swiftly dashed forward.
Soon, she arrived at the city gate of Dongning City.
"Miss, weren't you going to the pharmacy? Why are you running out again?"
Xiao He followed, puzzled.
"I suddenly changed my mind. I don't want to go to the pharmacy anymore."
Ye Qingli casually found an excuse.
A cold smile appeared on her face.
"Xiao He, wait for me to return."
After saying that, she walked directly into the city gate.
Her body was like a bolt of lightning, tearing through the void!
"Bang bang bang!"
Every time she appeared, she brought a burst of bloody mist!
All the guards who stood in her way fell to the ground, groaning in pain!
"She... she's so strong!"
Watching Ye Qingli walk further and further away, Xiao He couldn't help but exclaim.
"She seems to be even more powerful than before!"
"This shouldn't be! Didn't she just break through to the Martial Sovereign realm? Could it be because she consumed some pill?"
"No, her body is clearly that of a weakling."
Two scenes flashed in Xiao He's mind.
One was the scene of her being bullied.
The other was the scene of her being severely dealt with by Ye Qingli.
Could it be that she had consumed some miraculous medicine, causing her cultivation to soar so drastically?
"Xiao He, what are you muttering about?"
Suddenly, a gentle voice came from beside her.
"Ah..."
Xiao He was startled.
"Your servant greets the Princess Consort."
She hurriedly knelt down.
"There's no need for such formality."
Ye Qingli smiled faintly.
A wise gleam shone in her eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed something.
The path she had just passed on the street seemed different.
Although the street was still bustling with activity.
Those people seemed to have all stopped.
They were all staring at her with strange eyes.
Ye Qingli raised an eyebrow.
She wondered what kind of trick these people were playing now.
Did they doubt her cultivation was insufficient to deal with them?
However, even if they doubted, so what?
She was not afraid of them at all!
"Xiao He, let's go back!"
"Yes!"
After hearing Ye Qingli's words, Xiao He quickly stood up.
Then, she prepared to follow her back to the inn.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt someone push her from behind.
She fell directly to the ground!
And beside her, several guards were pointing their swords at her.
"Hmph! You lowly peasant! How dare you plot against us! You're courting death!"
They glared at her fiercely.
"Miss, why are they plotting against us?"
A look of terror appeared on Xiao He's face.
"Because they believe you are my personal maid, my favored consort, and therefore they want to kill you to silence you."
Ye Qingli said faintly.
Her tone at this moment was very calm.
As if she were speaking of something unrelated to herself.
However, in Xiao He's heart, a storm of shock erupted.
She never imagined that such a thing would happen in Dongning City!
"Miss, I am not your personal maid..."
"You know in your heart whether you are or not."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
With that, she turned and left directly.
"Miss!"
Xiao He wanted to get up and chase after her.
But her body felt weak and limp, and she couldn't get up for a long time.
Her heart suddenly sank.
Miss's martial arts...
She couldn't help but widen her eyes!
So, Miss had already known about the schemes of those young wastrels!
