Chapter 635 My Story
At the foot of Zixiao Peak, there is Yanhui Town.

"Hey, little brother, you're back pretty soon!"

The blacksmith shop owner immediately spotted Fu Qingzhou approaching and was surprised: "So many arrows, all used up? And you brought back a...female knight?"

Qiu Chan on the side covered her mouth and laughed.

Fu Qingzhou was helpless: "Help me get the horse out."

"Oh oh oh... No problem, your horse is well fed, and I also combed its hair, so it looks very energetic!" The boss smiled and turned back to the backyard to lead the horse.

Seeing him leave, Qiu Chan lowered her voice and said, "One horse, two hours, can't run far."

"I know."

Fu Qingzhou also whispered: "Master Baihe estimated that it would take me two hours to restore my mana to full, but in fact, it only took me three quarters of an hour."

Qiu Chan didn’t understand what “restore blue to full” meant, but she understood what it meant.

Her eyes lit up at first, but she soon said helplessly: "That can't do anything. Even if you can still use that dagger, you can't force Master to retreat."

If Fu Qingzhou uses the German sword again, he will indeed be able to fight Baihe temporarily.

But, it's only the power of one sword.

Baihe Zhenren is a real cave heaven level five realm, how many seconds can Dejian hold her back? Fu Qingzhou will be drained of his energy with just two swings, and then what?
"I won't use it this time."

Fu Qingzhou gently stroked the hilt of the De Sword and said slowly: "Let's find another way."

As they were talking, the shop owner had already led out the horse. After taking the horse, Qiu Chan was the first to jump on it lightly and flexibly.

She had just been tied up for a long time, and she carried Fu Qingzhou down the mountain before she had fully recovered. Apart from being a little tired, the true energy in her body was intact.

After jumping onto the horse, she stretched out her hand and pulled up Fu Qingzhou, who was weak in his limbs, and let him lean weakly on her back.

When the blacksmith saw this, his pupils trembled violently.

This guy? You didn't go to save the beauty just now? Instead, you found a heroine who is more powerful than you... to live off her?

Without having time to pay attention to the boss's wild thoughts, Qiu Chan had already waved the reins and rode away with a sound of crisp hooves.

"Where to go?"

she asked softly.

Fu Qingzhou closed his eyes, put all his weight on Qiu Chan's back, and said slowly: "Go east... Walk about ten miles out of the town. There is a big locust tree in the woods. Just go there."

Qiu Chan was stunned: "So accurate? You foresaw it all?"

"No... it's just that this time it's too important." Fu Qingzhou still closed his eyes and smiled slightly: "So, I made some more backup plans... I won't talk about it for now, I'll adjust my breathing, don't worry about me."

After saying this, his breathing quickly became even, his head drooped, and his chin rested lightly on Qiu Chan's shoulder.

The two of them were very close at this time. The warm body temperature from Fu Qingzhou's chest was transmitted to Qiu Chan's back almost without any distance, making her face red as if she had drunk alcohol.

"This time, it's really important."

Qiu Chan repeated this sentence in her heart, smiled sweetly, swung the reins vigorously, and squeezed the horse's belly with her legs.

Two hours is not too long. No matter what he wants to do...he should try to buy as much time as possible.

The horse felt pain and exhaled from its nose. It raised its four hooves, increased its speed, and ran in the direction where the reins were pulling.

……

Not long after, Fu Qingzhou opened his eyes.

Just at this moment, Qiu Chan let out a long sigh and stopped the horse.

"Yes, this is it."

Fu Qingzhou looked up at the big locust tree in front of him and said.

"Are you awake?" Qiu Chan tilted her head slightly: "What should we do next?"

"Get off the horse first." Fu Qingzhou chuckled.

After saying this, he took the lead and nimbly jumped off the horse's back - in these ten miles and a quarter of an hour or two, most of the true energy in his body had been restored, and naturally he also repaired the physical strength that had been almost completely depleted before.

Qiu Chan jumped off the horse and looked around, wondering, "Isn't Yuelu Gorge just ahead? There's nothing special here."

This place was near Zixiao Peak, and as a local, she certainly knew it. Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where it is... Anyway, just wait here."

Qiu Chan glared: "No formation? Or set up some traps?"

"Just us? No matter what formation or trap we set up, can we deal with your master?" Fu Qingzhou asked with a smile.

Qiu Chan lowered her head and frowned slightly.

"So what's the meaning of you choosing this place..." she asked softly.

"In war, intelligence is very important."

Fu Qingzhou spoke slowly as he came to sit cross-legged under the big locust tree: "In my plan, I took you to escape, Uncle Qingsongzi reached an agreement with Master Baihe, and then Master Baihe gave us several chances... This is one of them."

"So, I spent a lot of money to buy your master's information from Zhao Hao in advance."

Hearing him say this, Qiu Chan was shocked, her mouth formed an "O", and she asked in amazement: "My Master, what information?!"

"You can't tell me now."

Fu Qingzhou grinned: "But I am 80% sure that he will let us go."

Qiu Chan's eyes lit up: "That's amazing, if we pass this time, what about the next two times?"

"Behind... let's take it one step at a time."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. I'll recover some of my true energy. If anything happens, I'll always be prepared."

After saying this, he let out a light breath, crossed his legs and began to regulate his breathing.

Qiu Chan thought for a moment, then slowly came to his side and sat down as well.

"Take your breath... Don't you want to know my story?"

She smiled and said, "There's still more than an hour left, that's enough to talk about."

Fu Qingzhou turned his head, glanced at her, and said nothing.

He was regulating his breathing, so he naturally couldn't speak easily, otherwise his breathing would be disrupted.

Well, just listen.

"Well, I said it then."

Qiu Chan held her cheek, looked up at the sky, and said leisurely: "I... am an orphan."

Fu Qingzhou's eyelids moved.

He didn't find it particularly strange.

After all, Qiu Chan never mentioned her parents.

In this case, either the relationship with the parents is extremely bad, or...they are orphans.

"My parents are both gangsters."

Qiu Chan's eyes became somewhat detached, and she said softly, "I heard that my father was originally a constable, and my mother was a thief who robbed the rich to give to the poor. They met when he was trying to catch my mother..."

Huh? Is it so ridiculous?

Fu Qingzhou, who originally just wanted to listen briefly, suddenly became interested.

Qiu Chan looked quite sad. "Later, my father found out during his investigation that my mother became a thief because she was harmed by a pair of colluding officials and businessmen, and she wanted to take revenge on those rich and unkind people... For her, my father went through a lot, but in the end, he still didn't get a good result."

"In the end, my father gave up his official position and became a flying thief with my mother."

"But his actions still angered some people - so the revengers came to his door."

"My father received the news in advance, but he knew that I couldn't escape from those people's clutches no matter what... so he placed me, who was less than a year old, at the gate of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple and wrote a letter to explain the whole story."

Qiu Chan blinked, her eyes full of silence: "In fact, my parents don't know my master at all. My father is just worried that my enemies will cause trouble to me in the future. After all, Ziqi Xianfeng Temple is a big sect. If they accept me, they won't attract those enemies again."

"As for my master...it wasn't her who picked me up. The Purple Air Fairy Wind Temple originally wanted to just raise me and be done with it. But it is said that my master was observing the stars that night and felt something in his heart. He thought that I, a little baby who was just picked up by the sect, had triggered something...so he accepted me as his disciple."

She was silent for a moment, and then her story suddenly jumped forward many years: "Then, when I was eight years old, she took me down the mountain for the first time."
