Chapter 57 -59: More Misfortune than Fortune

“Master, the rain just now was sudden and heavy, and the canyon ahead was blocked by some mudslides and rocks,” Huo Lang said. “It will take some time to clear the path, and taking a detour would delay us even more. I’m afraid we won’t make it to the town or post station tonight.”

Qi Qian’s gaze was deep as he looked ahead at the canyon. If they hadn’t listened to Qin Liuxi and insisted on hurrying along, would they have been directly hit by the mudslide?

He glanced back at Qin Liuxi’s carriage and said to Huo Lang, “It’s getting dark soon. Let’s not take a detour. Clear a path just enough for the carriage to pass through.”

“Yes.”

Chen Pi, who was nearby, ran back to Qin Liuxi’s carriage after hearing this and said, “Young Master, they need to clear the canyon before we can proceed.”

“Uh-huh.” Qin Liuxi was still fiddling with the Thunderstruck Wood, thinking about what kind of Magic Artifact to make. A small sword?

Chen Pi didn’t disturb her and idly went to watch Huo Lang and the others clear the path, happily going, but returning with a sad face.

He was helping to clear the debris when his hand was suddenly cut by a falling rock, and it was bloody.

Qin Liuxi clicked her tongue, “It’s a blessing, not a disaster; if it’s a disaster, it can’t be avoided.”

“Young Master!” Chen Pi felt wronged.

Qin Liuxi took some golden sore medicine and clean water, washed his wound, and then applied the medicine, saying, “It’s nothing serious, just a minor misfortune without life-threatening danger. It will pass.”

Accompanying Chen Pi back, Qi Qian heard this and said, “Didn’t you think of helping him avoid this disaster?”

Qin Liuxi replied, “Just a little bloodshed, can’t be avoided if it’s meant to happen. Besides major life and death matters, it’s not a big deal. Also, I did help him already. Otherwise, why would he avoid the rain? But his failure to avoid it is his own choice and fate. You see, a kid with nothing to do, just watch the action; why bother helping others? See, he made things worse!”

Truly a Heartless Master!

Qi Qian looked at the disheartened Chen Pi and felt sympathy!

The Heartless Master, however, had a look of ‘you deserve it,’ which made Qi Qian feel even more pity for the poor kid.

Qi Qian leaned against the carriage door, waiting for the subordinates to clear the debris while listening to Qin Liuxi lecturing Chen Pi, watching as the sky grew darker. Nearby, the sound of a carriage’s wheels was approaching.

“At this hour, there are still people hurrying on their way,” Qin Liuxi also heard the carriage’s wheels and looked towards the direction of the sound.

Qi Qian stood up straight and called Huo Lang to be on guard.

A carriage and several mounted servants appeared in their sight, looking somewhat urgent. The leading man saw the situation on Qi Qian’s side, raised his hand, and halted the team behind him, galloping over first.

Huo Lang went up to meet him.

The middle-aged servant, wearing a short brown cloak and riding a tall horse, dismounted and greeted Huo Lang. Shortly after, he returned to his carriage, received instructions from his master, and came back with a few servants to help clear the debris.

With the extra hands, the blocked road was quickly cleared, and Qin Liuxi and their group resumed their journey. As night wholly fell, they indeed didn’t make it to the town or even a post station; they had to stop and stay overnight in a small village.

“Master, that carriage behind us has passed,” Huo Lang said to Qi Qian.

Qi Qian hummed and didn’t care.

“They’ll come back,” Qin Liuxi looked at the dark night sky and said, “And they will come back severely injured.”

The smell of blood and death was intense; it seemed that unlucky fate befell that group of people.

Everyone was shocked.
