John led the team back, but did not take away Hilaria, the wealthy lady, as promised, and followed Li Yu on the road heading east.

But just after leaving the market, Li Yu said to her: "If you regret it now, it's still too late."

Hilaria was stunned for a while and asked: "Why do you think I will regret it?"

Li Yu said calmly: "Your current mentality is not right. You suddenly said you wanted to come with me just now, which really surprised me. Let's put it this way, I am not your brother, and I didn't know him at all before coming to Yazd City.

You. So, why are you so sure that I will be willing to take you on the road?"

Hilelia blinked, with a trace of confusion in her beautiful green eyes: "I..."

However, the next moment, Li Yu spoke more clearly: "Since you are not going back to the palace, you can't keep the airs of a nobleman. Be realistic, tell me, what benefits can you give me?"

Hilaria lowered her face silently and remained silent.

Li Yu also stopped and stood in front of her, folding his hands on his chest and looking at her quietly.

After a while, the girl suddenly raised her face. There was already a layer of tears in her green eyes.

"Mr. Li, do you mean... that I have to 'dedicate' something to you?"

He sighed: "You seem to have misunderstood. Let me tell you first, I am not forcing you to donate anything, this is just a reminder. Tell you that now that you have left the protection of the family, you must correct your mentality in the future."

Hilelia bit her lower lip and said, "I don't think there is protection in the family."

"Well, three family members died in one night, and the power of life and death is in the hands of the only remaining brother. This makes you feel insecure, which is normal. But before, you were the daughter of a nobleman, and it didn't matter what you wanted to eat or drink.

, there will be maids bringing it to you. No matter where you want to go, there will be palace guards to protect you. From now on, there will be no more of this, do you understand?"

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, he saw Hilelia nodded slowly.

The girl looked serious: "I understand. If you leave the noble status, you will lose a lot of service and protection, but I feel that I have also escaped a lot of shackles. In fact, when I was a child, I read some things about magic, but because there are so many things in the palace,

There is a divine messenger, and if I don’t leave there, there is no way I can come into contact with those things.”

Li Yu raised his eyebrows: "Are you interested in science...er? No, are you still interested in magic?"

Hilaria nodded again.

The girl thought for a while and then said: "And you can rest assured that I will not act like a noble in the future. I will do whatever I need to do along the way."

Li Yu took a look. At this time, Hilelia was wearing linen clothes like a common girl and did not wear any jewelry. She looked completely different from the rude rich lady who first entered the palace a few days ago.

.

He said: "Okay, you go buy a ticket now."

Hilelia: "Buy a ticket?"

Li Yu said calmly: "We can't walk across the desert. In other words, I can walk, but your body can't bear it, so we have to buy a ticket now."

Hilelia asked: "Where are the tickets to?"

"The goal is to go east, to Kandahar. What do you think we should do?"

The two of them had already left the market for some distance and arrived near the city gate. On the side of the road, there was a two-story building with a sign saying "Long-Distance Bus Ticket Office". When Li Yu spoke, he pointed

That signboard.

But Hilelia didn't expect that she would need to plan the route for this journey. For a moment, she was stunned.

Li Yu leisurely said: "This is my first time coming to Yazd City, and you grew up here. Aren't you more familiar with how to act than me?"

Hilelia whispered: "But I have never bought a long-distance bus ticket before..."

Li Yu: "Then you still don't want to understand?"

"I, I understand, okay!"

The girl took a deep breath, secretly encouraged herself, then turned and entered the ticket office.

Li Yu walked leisurely behind her. Seeing her looking around for someone to ask, he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu - when he was studying abroad, he mentored the new school girls. It felt a bit like him.

It's just that compared to the schoolgirl back then, this one's appearance is much higher now.

After asking around, Hilelia returned to him and said: "Going east from here, the nearest city is Kerman. Shall we go there?"

Li Yu took out his wallet: "How much is it?"

"Uh, let me ask again..."

————

Li Yu and Hilelia got on the long-distance bus heading east.

The bus is similar to a minibus from the old era. The internal environment is not very good, it is relatively old and smells of engine oil. But the interesting thing is that there are only a dozen passengers on the bus and no driver.

This is a driverless car.

There is no driver, no conductor, and it runs fully automatically. The car will stop on the side of the road every hour. Otherwise, the car will keep moving forward at a constant speed and will not stop as long as it does not crash midway. If the passengers really want to get off,

Then you can only open the window and jump out. With the bus traveling at a speed of fifty or sixty kilometers per hour, it is up to fate whether you can stand up after jumping.

The road the bus is driving on is an asphalt road paved in the Gobi Desert. However, the road surface is very old, with cracks everywhere, and there are pits from time to time. Although the shock absorption performance of the car is good, it still makes the passengers feel uncomfortable.

.

Li Yu sat on the window seat, and Hilelia sat next to him, leaning against the aisle in the car.

Suddenly, he felt his knee being grabbed. When he turned his head, he saw Hilelia's face turned pale, her left hand covering her mouth, and her right hand grabbing his knee.

"Are you motion sick?" Li Yu asked.

Hilelia turned to look at him and wanted to speak, but then her whole body trembled, her brows furrowed, and she could not say a word.

Obviously, she did get motion sickness, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Not to mention motion sickness medicine, there wasn't even a garbage bag in the car.

Fortunately, after less than two minutes, the car stopped.

"The rest time has arrived, please do not stay away from the car. We will leave on time in three minutes."

It has been an hour since we started on the road. This is a routine rest time. Passengers can get off the car to breathe and urinate. As for defecation, it is impossible because the car will only stop for three minutes. When the time is almost up, the car will

Send out a broadcast reminder and won’t wait even a second longer.

Li Yu stood up: "You can change places with me. If it doesn't work, you can vomit out the window."

Hilelia pressed her throat and said feebly: "That's too ugly..."

Li Yu: "Reality will not make people look good for a lifetime. Many times, you have to learn how to adapt."

The girl was silent for a moment and whispered: "Thank you, I will learn to adapt."
