Nie Caizhu looked at this scene with her eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on her face.
"I've been told that I've been practicing martial arts since I was young, but you don't believe me..." Shen Luo blew some air on his palm and muttered to himself when he saw this.
After saying that, he raised his toes and tapped Scarface's temple lightly. Scarface, who had just been rolling on the ground in pain, immediately felt his eyes go dark and he fainted.
"Miss Nie, let's go." Shen Luo walked forward and said softly.
"They..." Nie Caizhu looked at the two people lying on the ground and said hesitantly.
"He has fainted. He won't wake up in seven or eight hours and he can't run away." Shen Luo smiled and said.
Nie Caizhu then felt relieved and followed Shen Luo out of Yuanzhu Temple and headed towards the county town.
After what happened just now, the relationship between the two people unknowingly became closer, and from walking one after the other at the beginning, they now walked side by side.
"Ms. Nie, Yunzhou is more than a thousand miles away from here. Why did you come all the way to Chunhua County?" Shen Luo asked casually.
"To be honest, the reason I came here from afar was just to see someone," said Nie Caizhu.
"In that case, he must be someone extremely important to the girl." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and said.
"Important... Not really. He is my fiancé, but I have never seen him before." Nie Caizhu said after a moment's hesitation.
"Why is this?" Shen Luo asked knowingly.
"This matter seems a bit absurd. My fiancé is a distant cousin of mine. We were engaged since childhood..." Nie Caizhu thought for a moment and began to tell the story slowly.
It turned out that since Nie Caizhu's mother passed away, the Nie family had cut off contact with the Shen family. The Nie family did not take the Shen family, whose wealth and status were far inferior to theirs, seriously and just treated the engagement as non-existent. The Shen family seemed to be very self-aware and did not take the initiative to contact the Nie family to fulfill the contract, which made the Nie family very satisfied.
Later, when the Nie family saw that Nie Caizhu had reached marriageable age, they decided to form an alliance with the Yunzhou prefectural governor and wanted to marry her to the governor's second son in order to expand the family's power.
But Nie Caizhu looked down upon the notorious playboy in Yunzhou, so she claimed that she was already engaged and refused to agree.
Everyone in the Nie family tried to persuade her earnestly, asking her to be sensible and consider the family. However, this woman who seemed weak on weekdays was unexpectedly tough on this matter. No matter how her family members persuaded her or how they tried to force her with clever words, she remained unmoved.
Seeing that she was unyielding, the Nie family had no choice but to put her under house arrest, planning to force her into marriage and make the matter a fait accompli.
But not long after, Nie Caizhu packed up some gold and silver jewelry, quietly escaped from home with her maid, and disguised herself as a man all the way to Chunhua County.
This process sounded just like a story in a vernacular novel, and even Shen Luo, a cultivator in the Qigong stage, was terrified.
You know, the entire Tang Dynasty border is not safe at the moment, and there are evil spirits everywhere. How difficult is it for Nie Caizhu, a woman, to reach the Shen family safely
"Marriage has been arranged by parents and matchmakers since ancient times. Women like Miss Nie are very rare." Shen Luo sighed lightly and had a lot of good feelings for this simple-minded woman who dared to fight.
