Chapter 27: An Exiled Immortal

“Alright, Brother Tang, stop shouting. Do you want others to know that I’m a woman?”

As Ye Qingge spoke, she got up from the ground and brushed off the dust on her body. Then, she reached out and grabbed Tang Mo’s arm to pull him up from the ground.

“Miss Ye?”

Tang Mo called out uncertainly.

Although he was covered in dust, he could not hide his otherworldly aura.

Aren’t there a few young girls who are secretly sizing him up?

“That’s me.”

Ye Qingge responded and said, “Your clothes are dirty, dust them off.”

“Oh.”

Tang Mo agreed obediently and reached out to brush himself off, but he did not take it seriously.

Ye Qingge couldn’t stand it anymore and said helplessly, “Don’t move, I’ll do it.”

Hence, the tall man stood there obediently. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow his black hair and eye veil.

He was really obedient.

Ye Qingge glanced at Tang Mo and a word popped up in her mind—little puppy.

Ye Qingge also found it strange that she was seriously dusting him off.

Although she was not cold, she had never been a busybody. However, when she met this man, she actually interfered twice.

Moreover, she had suffered a hidden loss.

If it were anyone else who dared to “attack” her chest, they would probably be lying on the bed now.

However, if it were the obedient little rabbit-like man in front of her, she would already be Buddha. She would not be angry at all.

“All right, it’s clean.”

Ye Qingge looked at Tang Mo. He was a clean and handsome man again.

“Miss Ye, please forgive me for offending you just now.”

Tang Mo was about to bow when he was stopped by Ye Qingge.

Following the fragrance of plum blossoms, a sweet voice with a hint of heat sounded in Tang Mo’s ear. “I’m dressed as a man now. Call me Young Master.”

Tang Mo was stunned when he heard this. Then, he nodded. “Brother Ye, please forgive me. I was rude just now.”

This person was really… amazing.

Didn’t he see that she didn’t want to talk about what happened just now?

Alright, she had forgotten that he really couldn’t see.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. There are many people here. Let’s chat as we walk.”

After Ye Qingge finished speaking, she took the lead and left. She even looked like she was about to flee.

She was really afraid that he would keep apologizing.

Tang Mo slowly curled the corners of his lips into a smile as he headed in the direction Ye Qingge had gone.

However, this smile was not a gentle smile. It was as if he had finished playing with the kitten. After seeing the cat explode, he smiled mischievously.

Ye Qingge quickly took a few steps forward, but when she thought about how he was unable to see, she turned back.

She happened to see Tang Mo still standing there motionless, like a lost child.

However, this child was too good-looking.

Sighing, Ye Qingge placed her fan into Tang Mo’s hands.

“Grab the fan. I’ll show you where you’re going.”

“Okay.”

Tang Mo did not refuse and held the fan in his hand.

Actually, he knew that she had returned just now because he smelled a hint of sweet plum fragrance that belonged to her in the air.

“Where are you going? Are you going home?”

The last time Ye Qingge sent him home, she knew that his home was not close to this place. His eyesight was not good and he must have something to do for him to walk such a long distance.

“To be honest, Brother Ye, I originally wanted to go to the Ji Shi Hall to catch a few herbs.”

She knew that Ji Shi Hall was not far from here.

“Why? Is someone in the family feeling unwell?”

He didn’t look like he was sick. Perhaps he had a patient at home?

“It’s one of my old servants. He caught a cold in his old age.”

Tang Mo answered every question. His attitude was respectful and polite, but he did not reject anyone. It was very comfortable.

Ye Qingge suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Tang Mo. Even if they met again, it was inevitable that she would be mesmerized by his graceful bearing.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was as handsome as jade.

Seeing her stop, Tang Mo stood still silently. Although he did not know why she did not move, he did not ask anything.

Look at how understanding she was. How could she have the cheek to leave him alone on the street?

“All right, then. I’ll bring you to Ji Shi Hall.”

Ye Qingge smiled and said indifferently.

“Alright, then thank you, Brother Ye.”

Tang Mo did not refuse. Then, the corners of his lips curled up into an extremely gentle smile.

It was like the setting sun in summer, making one feel a sense of warmth.

In a deep alley a few streets away, the carriage that had almost knocked someone down on the road was parked there.

The driver of the carriage waved the whip in his hand in boredom and could not help but ask the person in the carriage, “Sha Qi, can’t we go back to the residence now? Shall we go back quietly?”

“If you also want to receive 30 lashes, go back now.”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a face with a scar. This person was Sha Qi.

Ye Qingge and Tang Mo walked along the street, but from time to time, they would receive the attention of the girls on the street.

When Ye Qingge looked up, the ladies blushed and looked away.

That was strange. It was normal for Tang Mo to blush, but why were they blushing?

Ye Qingge was very puzzled.

What she did not know was that although she was a little short, her big eyes were sparkling. Her small round face exuded intelligence and elegance, and her face was like the moon in mid-autumn, as beautiful as a flower in spring.

Because she was from the special forces department in her previous life, her figure was exceptionally tall and straight. When she dressed as a man, she looked very heroic, giving off a short and capable feeling.

As for Tang Mo, who was beside her, there was no need to mention him. They said that his eyes were covered by a white veil, which meant that there was something wrong with his body. However, it could not hide the refined aura around him at all.

Moreover, even if he was blindfolded, one could still see his outstanding charm from his high nose bridge and petal-like thin lips.

How could these two extremely handsome young masters not make a young girl blush and her heart beat faster?

There were even some bold girls who were already planning whether they should drop their handkerchiefs or their shoes.

When they arrived at Ji Shi Hall, Tang Mo asked for a few medicinal ingredients. Ye Qingge, who didn’t know anything about Chinese medicine, quietly accompanied him.

At the same time, she sized up this pharmacy. The original had never been to a pharmacy before, and she had never seen a pharmacy in the modern era.

Therefore, she found it quite interesting.

Just as she was sizing the pharmacy up, she suddenly heard a commotion outside, the cries of women and children, and the man’s curses.

Ye Qingge looked in the direction of the sound and saw more than ten men dressed like servants dragging a few women and children in tattered clothes down the street.

The women cried and begged for mercy. The boy was too young and only knew how to cry.

Ye Qingge frowned slightly, but she heard the shop assistant who was wrapping the medicine shake his head as he said, “Sigh, what a sin.”

“Little brother, what’s going on outside?”

Ye Qingge looked at the shop assistant. The shop assistant saw that Ye Qingge didn’t look like a bad person, and her bright eyes made people feel good about her.

Hence, he looked around and lowered his voice. “Young Master, you might not know that the Zhou Mansion is arresting someone.”

“Catch him? Why do you want to catch him?”

“Sigh, they’re all tenants of the Zhou family. Last year, they suffered a drought and couldn’t pay the rent, so they ran out of the farmstead. I don’t know why they were caught by the Zhou family and wanted to be brought back to be condemned.”

The shop assistant shook his head, looking helpless and pitiful.
