Chapter 2: Encountering Her
A hand with remarkable aesthetic beauty.
But Bai Yao immediately looked away, continuing to focus on the face of the hand’s owner.
Ink-black hair, jade-like face, bright eyes and cinnabar lips, a nose like an axe-cut, eyebrows like knife-tracery.
A perfect blend of strength and tenderness—what a dashing young man.
The young man’s hand was extended in front of her, and Bai Yao raised her hand and grasped it.
Warm, smooth, and soft.
Bai Yao held tightly to that hand, which was excellent in both appearance and feel, and continued to scrutinize the face before her.
Bai Yao didn’t care about the consequences.
She was soaring in the universe of beauty.

Question: What is responsible for love at first sight?
The timing The setting The people Fate Opportunity Karma Forget it
!Don’t!
I seriously, seriously, seriously love this face!!!
31
After being held by Bai Yao for a good while, the hand and its owner finally began to feel faintly uneasy. A bit of confusion appeared on his face, and he tentatively tried to withdraw his hand.
However, Bai Yao’s grip was quite firm, and having been caught off guard, she followed the hand and moved forward a small step.
Moving out from behind the pile of scrap, she missed her footing and began to fall sideways.
In a flash of lightning, the hand that had just been pulled from Bai Yao’s grasp moved swiftly, wrapping around her back and firmly catching her waist.
Before she could react further, the arm wrapped around her lower back suddenly tightened, pulling her into an embrace. The other hand came up from under her bent knees, easily lifting Bai Yao into his arms.
32
The moment she was securely cradled in his arms, a fireworks display exploded in Bai Yao’s heart, and a line of dialogue clearly popped up.
“Gongs and drums rumble, firecrackers crackle.”
Welcome to The Tale of Me and His Jianghu Love Story.
Day 1: Princess Carry unlocked.
Acceptance Speech: A grateful heart. Thank you for being here.
Please help me get the big lock and lock it, thank you.
After locking it, please give me the key so I can swallow it, thank you.
33
Bai Yao behaved quietly and meekly, being held tightly and carried out of the small woodshed, and then safely placed back on the ground.
You ask me why I didn’t move?
My heart fluttered too much, and I was too exhausted to move.
34
Question: Why do people say life is short?
Answer: Because everyone is telling me, Bai Yao, to seize the day and enjoy life while I can.
Question: What is “seize the day and enjoy life”? Answer: As follows.
Bai Yao stood steady, “Dare I ask, Young Master, do you have someone special in your heart?”
The white-robed Young Master was momentarily stunned, then suddenly smiled.
In that instant, all the romance in the world seemed to fade, and a myriad of stars erupted before her eyes.
Amidst a shower of star fragments, the Young Master shook his head.
Bai Yao blinked her eyes, which were nearly blinded by the flash, and took a step forward.
“This Young Master.”
“The weather is fine today, the plot is wonderful, and you risked yourself to save me. A humble woman has no way to repay you, but I only ask…”
Bai Yao smiled and extended her hand.
“Please take my love.”
“Back to your home.”
The Young Master looked up at Bai Yao, and after a slight pause, shook his head.
35
Oh, a cold type of man.
But that zero-point-one-second hesitation completely betrayed your suppressed hidden feelings.
36
Bai Yao maintained a slight smile and slowly intoned: “Young Master, don’t panic. Love always comes quickly, like a tornado.”
“Love me in your heart, you must speak up.”
“The hair in my heart, I want to take you back…”
Young Master: “I am a woman.”
Bai Yao gasped: “To sprinkle the hot blood of youth!”
Bai Yao tested: “A word of sisterhood is greater than the sky?”
Bai Yao calmly stated: “If anyone destroys your wings, I will surely tear down his heaven.”
37
Silence is golden.
Silence is Bai Yao tonight.
38
The person who had silently witnessed the entire exchange walked over, looked at Bai Yao, laughed heartily, and clapped the Young Master on the shoulder, “Hahaha, as expected of our Young Master Qi’an, girls follow him everywhere he goes.”
Bai Yao: “Qi’an?”
Bai Yao: “Young… Master… Qi’an?”
The person looked at Bai Yao upon hearing this, and laughed, “That’s right. What’s wrong?”
39
Heh.
I know.
Not only do I know.
My head was almost chopped off by her father last night.
40
Bai Yao took a deep breath and said, “May I ask, where is this place?”
The person opposite replied, “Jiang Qi.”
Bai Yao: “Okay then.”
41
It is said in The Young Master Becomes the Phoenix that Jiang Qi has three treasures.
First: The beautiful jade of Jiang Qi, unrivaled in color, capturing the heart of all who see it. Second: The white tea of Jiang Qi, leaving a lasting fragrance on the lips, clarifying the mind.
Third, Young Master Qi’an.
Not an object, but a singular person.
Quietly, his face is like crowned jade; in motion, he is as graceful as an immortal.
A person whose nature is difficult to judge as good or evil, and whose reputation is hard to pin down.
This Young Master Qi’an is the female protagonist of The Young Master Becomes the Phoenix.
Her initial name was Yun Qing, later Luo Qi.
42
After leaving the General’s residence for many years and acquiring martial arts skills, the female lead Luo Qi traveled through Jiang Qi after descending from the mountain. She met Xia Yixian, a female bandit leader whose ultimate dream was to rob the rich and aid the poor to uphold justice.
Xia Yixian was awestruck by the fifteen-year-old Luo Qi’s beauty and insisted on becoming sworn sisters with the female lead, forming an intergenerational friendship.
Luo Qi temporarily settled in Jiang Qi, living a carefree little life for a while.
However, good times don’t last. The Second Elder Guo Wang intended to seize power, and Xia Yixian died in the turmoil.
Before her death, Xia Yixian entrusted the gang members, along with her fourteen-year-old son, Xia Qian, to the quickly arriving Luo Qi.
Luo Qi subsequently quelled the unrest and personally killed Guo Wang.
Over the next two years, she led Xia Qian and the remaining gang members to establish the “Siyi Tower” (The Reckless Tower) in Jiang Qi.
Although named “Reckless,” the Siyi Tower primarily engaged in virtuous deeds.
Drawing the sword against injustice and providing aid to the lonely and suffering.
Later, the Tower gradually developed legitimate businesses. While being profitable, they adopted the following practice:
To facilitate their actions, Luo Qi usually dressed as a man. Others did not know her real name, only calling her Young Master Qi.
Because she brought peace to Jiang Qi, the people of Jiang Qi gave her the title, Young Master Qi’an (Peace of Qi).
Young Master Qi’an gradually became a legendary figure in Jiang Qi. Although listed as the third treasure, she was actually the most indispensable existence.
And when the female lead first appeared in the book many years later, it was in the identity of Young Master Qi’an.
As for the book describing her as “difficult to judge as good or evil, and whose reputation is hard to pin down,” it was because the wealthy and powerful tyrants she had wronged always cursed her, while the common people she protected always praised her.
Thus, to many who didn’t know the truth, Young Master Qi’an became an extremely polarizing figure.
43
Stop.
Stop the popular science. Can you save my life first?
Bai Yao looked at the two people standing in front of her, and the little people of thought in her brain were screaming and scrambling.
I clearly said I must stay away from the male and female leads to survive!
How did I run into her right after I left?!
Premise: A walking female cannon fodder destined to be sacrificed, who harassed the female lead upon their first meeting.
Question: How should she lower her death flag?
Answer: First write the character “Solution” to get two points, and then…
Answer what?! Run away first!
44
The young man standing next to the female lead, Luo Qi, looked at Bai Yao and chuckled, “Miss, do you have anything else you’d like to say to our Young Master?”
Bai Yao: “Yes.”
The person smiled, “Then go ahead and speak.” He then enthusiastically encouraged, “Don’t be shy.”
Bai Yao: “I’ll take my leave.”
45
Bai Yao did not manage to take her leave.
A hand reached out from the side, pulling her wrist, neither too lightly nor too heavily, yet with a strength that brooked no escape.
Bai Yao turned her neck segment by segment, looking back stiffly.
Luo Qi, who was a head and a half taller than her, looked down at her and said, “It’s very inconvenient for you to travel alone.”
The voice was like jade beads falling onto a platter, a clear spring striking stone, a crane crying in a snowy night, an oriole singing in a deep valley.
It was the finest possible blend of all the beautiful sounds in the world.
Flowing through the ear, it seemed to cleanse all the dust from the listener’s brain.
Such a wonderful voice…
I should record it.
To use as an alarm clock.
46
As Luo Qi’s words fell, the person next to her seconded, “Yes, Miss, don’t rush off. It’s not safe for you to travel alone. We are members of Siyi Tower, and we are all good people. I am Xia Qian of Siyi Tower, and this is Young Master Qi’an. Miss, what should we call you?”
Bai Yao: “Thank you all for saving me. I am Bai Yao.”
Xia Qian said, “Since we saved you, we will help you all the way. Don’t be afraid. Later, our brothers will escort you home, ensuring a safe journey.”
Bai Yao: “Still, I don’t think that will be necessary…”
Xia Qian: “There’s a Huifeng Ji nearby. Their beef buns are delicious. Let’s eat something before we set off.”
Bai Yao: “Your great kindness is hard to repay!”
47
Bai Yao is a female cannon fodder who was supposed to die upon her appearance.
So far, she has successfully lived for six or seven more hours and is now sitting at the same table as the female lead, harmoniously eating meat buns.
Bai Yao picked up a tender, white bun, carefully took a bite, blew on it to cool it down, then took another big bite, feeling the aroma of the meat mixed with the delicious juice spreading in her mouth.
Ah.
What can dispel worry? Only this bun.
Xia Qian, sitting at the table next to Bai Yao, clearly loved the buns from this place. As soon as the buns were served, he started inhaling them frantically, not even bothering to talk to the young man opposite him.
Luo Qi, sitting across from Bai Yao, did not eat with the delicate fussiness of a young lady, yet her eating looked much more pleasant to the eye than Xia Qian’s.
Every movement could be framed as a painting.
Even the accident of a bun slipping from her chopsticks and splashing soup into the bowl looked like white jade falling onto a platter, startling a flying swan.
48
Ah.
Such a powerful Female Lead Aura.
Bai Yao took the tenth meat bun while stealing glances.
Eat your fill, then run fast later.
49
After the meal. The group stood on the road, returning to the original topic.
Xia Qian gathered the rescued girls, arranged escorts for them one by one, and finally got to Bai Yao, who had moved slowly after eating too many buns and emerged late.
Xia Qian said, “Miss Bai, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Bai Yao smiled and spoke the excuse she had prepared earlier: “It’s fine, it’s fine, no need to escort me. I just asked the shopkeeper and found out that this place is actually very close to my home. I can go back by myself.”
Xia Qian said, “You don’t need to worry about troubling us—”
Before he could finish, a young brother ran over and said, “Brother Xia, it looks like we’re short-handed.”
Bai Yao was overjoyed: “Good! Good! Good!”
The others looked at her in confusion.
Bai Yao: “Looks like we’re short-handed. I’m sorry, I ate too many buns and have a slight stutter.”
50
Heaven helps me.
51
Xia Qian asked the young brother, “How many people are we short?”
The young brother replied, “I don’t know what those who captured them were thinking. The group of girls came from all over. Now the brothers are scattered, and we’re still one Miss Chen short of an escort.”
Bai Yao smiled and cupped her hands: “Since you are short of manpower, I won’t bother you all. The road ahead is long, we’ll see each other again…”
Between Bai Yao’s “see each other again” and the next part, Luo Qi, who had been silent for a while, suddenly interjected, “Xia Qian, you go escort Miss Chen. I will escort Miss Bai.”
52
Luo Qi looked at Bai Yao and asked, “Miss Bai, where is your home?”
Seeing Bai Yao’s stunned expression, she added, “Where are you from?”
53
Bai Yao’s eyes were about to burst.
Bai Yao’s pupils trembled.
My home is your home!
Don’t ask me where I’m from, my hometown is your house!
And your dear father, who wanted to chop me to death, is still living there!
