Under the scorching sun.

Four young men in black robes were carrying a luxurious and low-key sedan, walking on the official road paved with Sanhe soil.

There are high mountains on both sides of the official road, and there seems to be no human habitation nearby.

The girl who was following the sedan fanned herself with her hands and faced the bright sun and said to the inside of the sedan:

"Miss, why don't we take a flying boat instead of a sedan? Taking a flying boat is fast and comfortable. If you take a sedan, not only will you have to guard against attacks by demons, but even you, eldest lady, will have to suffer."

The girl pouted, her words full of pity and confusion. She had never understood the thoughts of her eldest daughter.

In her opinion, her eldest daughter is like a snow lotus growing on the top of a snow mountain, noble, aloof, and spotless.

While the younger generation in the family are all vying to express themselves to their ancestors, the eldest lady is the only one who never stands out. Whenever the family members take a break, they always stay in their boudoir, either reading or doing embroidery.

There are no bad habits that children from big families have.

Perhaps it is because of this that the ancestor entrusted such an important task to the eldest lady.

Now that the clan leader is missing (running away from home), only she, as the clan leader's daughter, can take the place of her father and complete the tasks assigned by her ancestors.

Not long after, a cold and sweet voice came from the sedan.

"Quer, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

"Yes!"

When the girl heard this, she quickly straightened her back, sat upright and said.

She has grown up with her eldest daughter, so she naturally knows her eldest daughter’s temper best.

Although the eldest lady usually treats her very well, the eldest lady is actually the same as the ancestor, and she will not change her decision easily.

Even if she really just feels sorry for her eldest daughter.

The silence lasted for a breath, and a sigh came from the sedan.

"Sigh... Que'er, I understand that you feel sorry for me, but I think you should also understand the position of our Sima family."

"Standing point?" Que'er was puzzled.

"..."

After spending many years together, Sima Bilian has already figured out the character of her personal maid.

Que'er is good at everything, but she has little brains, is straightforward and doesn't hide anything.

To put it nicely, it’s called being naturally stupid, and to put it worse, it’s called being big-chested and brainless.

Thinking of this, Sima Bilian lowered her head and glanced at her Yima Pingchuan, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.

"Ahem... In short, our Sima family is one of the six major families in Shengzhou in the Central Region. Although we are famous in the world, our Sima family ranks at the bottom in terms of overall strength."

"Now that the Immortal Emperor is missing, the Immortal Alliance exists in name only, and Shengzhou in the Central Territory is controlled by four sects and six families. As the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind. At this time, our Sima family should choose to keep a low profile and develop silently. What's more..."

In the middle of her words, Sima Bilian suddenly closed her mouth. Even if she didn't say the last thing she wanted to say, Que'er, who was her personal maid, could understand it.

This is also related to what she has to do when she goes out.

The ancestor's longevity is approaching, and the Sima family is in turmoil and is in danger.

At this time, Sima Lese, the patriarch of the clan, abandoned family affairs, took away the top-quality magic weapon enshrined in the ancestral land, and disappeared without a trace.

Sima Bilian looked at the bleak scenery outside through the sedan curtain, and her heart was full of uneasiness.

‘Father, where have you been? Why did you leave your family and Bilian alone...’

Although she felt uneasy in her heart, Sima Bilian could not reveal her thoughts to outsiders. She could only wait and feel sad in silence when she was alone in private.

The sedan team walked on the official road for a long time, but the scenery outside the sedan still did not change much.

Although Xiaqing County has a vast territory, it is sparsely populated and quite backward. After leaving Xiaqing Prefecture, the official road is surrounded by high mountains and mountains, and many times you can't see a single human habitation for a long time.
