The little girl's body was extremely thin, and she wore a set of patched green clothes. Moreover, her face even revealed a dense amount of food color. It could be seen that it was due to her lack of nutrition over the years.
Although the little girl's expression wasn't good, her eyes were exceptionally bright. At the moment, she was staring at Ye Guhsing, a stranger, with a vigilant look.
"Excuse me, is this Old Jie Ke's home?" Ye Guhsing asked with a smile.
"Yes, but he wasn't at home. He was away." When the little girl heard that Ye Guhsing seemed to know her father, her originally nervous mood also eased a little.
"You should be Old Jie Ke's daughter. What's your name? My name is Ye Guhsing, I'm a friend of the Old Jie Ke! " Seeing that the cowardice on the little girl's face had disappeared, Ye Guhsing once again said with a slight smile.
"Yes." My name is Jie Na! " The little girl nodded her head, then stared straight at Ye Guhsing and asked: "Did my father ask you to bring me some news?"
"Yes, half a month ago, I met your father, and he asked me to come to pick you up and bring you to the imperial city. Originally, he wanted to come pick you up personally, but he just happened to have a mission to take care of, and coincidentally, I was coming to this Ning Hai City to take care of some business, so he asked me to come pick you up to pick up your Star-moon City." Ye Guhsing lied without blinking. The reason why he had to lie was because he had no choice but to do so, and from the conversation the little girl had, he could infer that Jie Na had a rather deep feelings for the Old Jie Ke, that if Ye Guhsing told her about the death of the Old Jie Ke right now, the little girl would definitely not accept it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done anything stupid.
"To the imperial capital?" Although she was still young, the children of the rich families had long ago taken charge. With regards to Ye Guhsing's words, she was still skeptical.
"Well, this was given to me by the Old Jie Ke before he left. He said that you only need to see this thing to believe what I said." Seeing the skeptical look on Jie Na's face, Ye Guhsing could only take out the small protective talisman that Old Jie Ke had given him before he died.
The moment he saw the protection in Ye Guhsing's hand, the skeptical look on Jie Na's face completely disappeared, and was replaced with a pleasant surprise. This protective talisman was something that Old Jie Ke wore on his person, and Jie Na and Old Jie Ke had relied on each other for many years, so they were extremely familiar with this protective talisman.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you." After a moment of pleasant surprise, Jie Na said embarrassedly.
"It's alright, you didn't know me before so it's only natural that you suspect me. "Alright, hurry up and pack up your family's valuables. Later, come with me to Tao Ran to stay the night. Tomorrow morning, we will set off for the imperial capital." Ye Guhsing said with a faint smile.
"En!" Jie Na nodded strongly, after that she ran into the house, and before long, carried her bag with her and strenuously walked out.
Seeing the things that Jie Na had packed up, Ye Guhsing was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground. Not only did the little girl pack all of the clothes in her house, she even brought out her blanket, pots and pans.
"What's wrong? Can't I take these things with me? " Seeing the shocked expression on Ye Guhsing's face, Jie Na asked with embarrassment.
"No, you can bring anything you want, but your father has already settled down his new home in the capital and has everything inside. Not only is it unnecessary to bring these things with you, the road is also not very convenient." Ye Guhsing shook his head and said.
"Then what should we do? Don't you want all these things? "That's too bad." Jie Na said, looking troubled.
"Hmm, how about this. You put all these things inside the house and lock the door. That way, when you have the chance to come back here again, you can still live here." Ye Guhsing said.
"On a big lock? "But I don't have any extra money to buy the locks. I've heard that those big locks are very expensive." The little girl said with difficulty.
"Aiya!" Ye Guhsing suddenly slapped himself on the head, and then immediately said apologetically: "How could I forget about this matter, your father knows that you may not have any more money on hand, this, when I first came, he gave me ten Purple Gold Coin, and told me to pass them on to you, saying that it's for you to buy some clothes for yourself. Remember, Star-moon City is the capital, so if you wear such a tattered set of clothes, you will embarrass your father, and now your father is favored by a large family, and is invited to be your father's bodyguard." With that said, Ye Guhsing took out a Purple Gold Coin that was glowing with a purple light and handed it over to Jie Na.
In Jie Na's impression, when he was at her richest, she only had around ten gold coins. Now that such a large sum of money was placed in front of her, she felt like she was dreaming.
"This... Did my father ask you to bring these back? " Jie Na asked in disbelief.
"Of course!" Ye Guhsing nodded his head, "Jie Na, you don't know, but this time your father has struck gold, not only did he complete a huge mission, he is also highly regarded by an adult in the capital, and has to be accepted as one of the sect's guards. I heard that the lord pays your father 100 Purple Gold Coin s every month, so this bit of money is always a small amount."
Hearing Ye Guhsing's words, Jie Na's face became extremely excited. 100 Purple Gold Coin, how much money would that be? After that, she carefully took the ten Purple Gold Coin s from Ye Guhsing's hands and placed them one by one, as if they were treasures, into a small cloth bag that was hung around her neck. Then, she used a rope to tighten the opening of the small cloth bag around her neck.
Seeing Jie Na's actions, even someone like Ye Guhsing, who had seen so much of the world, could not help but feel pain in his nose. It could be imagined just what kind of difficult life this seven or eight year old girl lived before Ye Guhsing came.
Since father has said so, then I will leave all these things at home. Later on, I will go to the street to buy a sturdy big lock, and as for the clothes, there is no need for that, I can still wear them. I heard that dad will be able to earn a lot in the capital. Jie Na said happily after carefully putting away the ten Purple Gold Coin s.
"Mm, alright then. In that case, I'll be waiting for you here. Go and quickly come back." Ye Guhsing nodded and said.
Hearing Ye Guhsing's words, Jie Na nodded her head and quickly ran out onto the main street.
An hour later, Jie Na moved all the things in the courtyard into the house, and then took out a brand-new, huge black iron lock and locked the entire room.
"Alright, let's go. There are still friends waiting for us at the inn to eat. I think you must be hungry as well." Seeing Jie Na locking her room door, Ye Guhsing spoke once again.
"En!" Jie Na nodded and said, then took a step at a time. After that, she followed Ye Guhsing and left her home, where she had lived since she was young.0
When Ye Guhsing led Jie Na through the entrance of Tao Ran Residence, Ziwu Feng, who was already waiting there, immediately walked out. When he saw the petite girl beside Ye Guhsing, he immediately understood that she was the daughter of the Old Jie Ke who died in her Misty Swamp.
"Big brother, you're finally back. The food's all prepared." Ziwu Feng said with a smile.
"Once you're ready, let's start eating, Jie Na is probably hungry as well. Oh right, where is Little Girl Murong? " Ye Guhsing looked around but did not see any trace of Murong Qianqian.
"Big brother, you should know that girls love to be pretty." Big brother, you should know that girls love to be pretty. Ziwu Feng replied.
"Women are trouble. Since that's the case, we won't wait for her. Let's eat first. If she wants to eat, then get someone to make her something new." Ye Guhsing shook his head and said helplessly. After he finished speaking, his face once again revealed a kind smile towards Jie Na who was beside him. "Jie Na, if you want to eat something, go eat it yourself."
"Big brother Guhsing, I'm fine with anything, I'm not picky with food, I eat anything." Jie Na shook her head and said. However, he was still a child after all. Even though she said that, she couldn't help but look at the exquisite menu on the table.
"It's alright, this inn is owned by the brother Ziwu Feng in front of you, if you want to eat anything, just say it." Ye Guhsing caressed Jie Na's head and said with a smile.
"That's right, Jie Na, this inn belongs to brother, you don't have to be too reserved, just tell me what you want to eat." Ziwu Feng also said with a smile.
After hearing Ye Guhsing's and Ziwu Feng's words, Jie Na finally could not resist the temptation in her heart, and timidly said: "Big Brother Guhsing, and this Big Brother Ziwu Feng, can I order a steamed fish to eat? I have never eaten Steamed Fresh Fish since I was young." After she finished speaking, Jie Na lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Steamed Fish?" No problem, Second Younger Brother, go and arrange for the chef to cook the most delicious steamed fish for Jie Na. " Ye Guhsing was startled, and then patted Ziwu Feng's shoulder and said.
"Mm, alright, I'll go now!" Ziwu Feng nodded and immediately left the hotel's private room.
With Ziwu Feng, the young master of the Zi Family, there was a plate of delicious steamed fish on the table in a few minutes. Seeing the plate of delicious steamed fish, Jie Na could no longer suppress her appetite.

Ten days later, a luxurious carriage appeared on the public road outside the imperial city. The carriage was traveling towards the imperial city at an extremely fast speed.
"Big Brother Guhsing, is the imperial city big?" Within the carriage, an eight to nine-year-old girl wearing a patched up green shirt excitedly asked a youth in black.
"Big, the capital is big, twice the size of Ninghai City. If you walk from the east side of the city to the west side, I'm afraid you will need at least half a day.
"Ah, with how big it is, will Daddy be able to find me?" The little girl asked worriedly.
"I can find it. It's not like this is your father's first time in the imperial city, so don't worry, Jie Na will definitely be able to find you." The youth in black said with a smile.
"Mm, that's true. Daddy's skills are much greater than mine, and he's always been a mercenary outside. If he can't even find the imperial city, then he's going to die from embarrassment." "Haha …" The little girl nodded. After saying that, she couldn't help but giggle.
The little girl smiled. The two men and one woman in the carriage also laughed. However, there was a hint of sadness in their smiles.
These four people were Ye Guhsing's group of four, who had returned from Ning Hai City. Due to the fact that Jie Na's body was frail and weak, unable to withstand the speed of the Wind Chasing Horses, Ye Guhsing had no choice but to buy a luxurious horse carriage. This way, not only would Jie Na be able to withstand the fatigue of travelling for a long time, the three of them would also feel a bit more comfortable.

The second most important thing is, brothers, where are your flowers? Give the old fish some motivation! The feeling of someone exploding chrysanthemum is unbearable.
