Chapter 66, Unexpected Events...

Chapter Sixty-Six: An Unexpected Event

Gongzi Yu was distressed by jealousy, while Ling Hao was quite at ease. She felt like one of those dashing young men in a TV drama, and was very pleased with herself.

As expected of her, she's amazing whether she's a man or a woman, hahaha... Ling Hao felt very smug, and her eyebrows and eyes were beaming.

Seeing this, Gongzi Yu gave her an even more resentful look. This woman had no heart, or rather, her heart was entirely devoted to Gongzi Mingyue.

Ling Hao, who had been glanced at, thought: "???"

What's he doing? Is he thinking of backing out of wearing women's clothes? That won't do; he has to wear women's clothes for the rest of the journey. So Ling Hao quickly looked away, pretending not to see Gongzi Yu's gaze. As long as she didn't see it, it meant she didn't know, which meant he was going to continue wearing women's clothes, haha.

Gongzi Yu was furious and angrily turned his gaze away. Sooner or later, he would be driven to his death by her.

Because the two had changed their clothes and pretended to be a married couple, and because their convoy clearly indicated their extraordinary background, the journey to Kyoto was indeed peaceful, without even the usual banditry. However, this was also because there was new excitement in the martial arts world, so they didn't pay much attention to what was happening on Linghao's side.

Gongzi Yu's attention had been focused on Ling Hao, causing him to miss the developments in the martial arts world and nearly putting her in danger. Therefore, after that, he kept a close eye on events in the martial arts world, sending him daily updates.

Therefore, Gongzi Yu was naturally aware of this new excitement in the martial arts world, not to mention that he had ordered it to be created. And he was not reluctant to share the information he knew with Ling Hao. Just like now, after reading the letter sent by Shi Ci, he casually handed it to Ling Hao.

As for Linghao, she had gone from initial hesitation to now taking it for granted and had habitually accepted it. After reading the letter, she was astonished, "The treasure left behind by Chai Yuguan?" She immediately understood why she had been so peaceful lately; it turned out to be because of this.

"People die for wealth, birds die for food," said Gongzi Yu. His tone was full of sarcasm.

Ling Hao didn't seem to care much about his tone; she was just curious, "What else could Chai Yuguan have left behind?"

“Of course not.” Gongzi Yu sneered. “Back then, Senior Wang burned everything to ashes, leaving nothing behind. Martial arts manuals? Divine weapons? They don’t exist.”

Ling Hao suddenly remembered that the man before her was Shen Lang's disciple, and Wang Lianhua and Shen Lang had all gone into seclusion; he couldn't possibly be unaware of Chai Yuguan's affairs. But his attitude… she couldn't help but frown, "Did you spread this news?"

Upon hearing this, Gongzi Yu immediately laughed, "How do you know?"

“Intuition,” Ling Hao replied. Yes, she had no evidence, only a gut feeling that it was Gongzi Yu who did it. However, this was based on her guess about his relationship with Shen Lang and Wang Lianhua, not on her own assumptions.

"It was me." Gongzi Yu's smile deepened. It seemed that A Hao paid more attention to him than she knew, otherwise how could she have guessed it was him so quickly? "Those Jianghu people are really too bored, I'm finding them something to do."

Although that's what he said, she understood why he did it. "Thank you," Linghao said, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She thought she finally understood why Gongzi Yu was able to almost control the entire martial arts world—because he was truly a very capable and charismatic person. Along the way, her opinion of him had gradually improved, but because of Mingyue's departure, she still harbored some resentment towards him.

Ling Hao admitted that Gongzi Yu was really good and had done a lot for her, but she couldn't just ignore Mingyue. She had known Mingyue first, and they had become good friends first. No matter what, she should put herself in Mingyue's shoes and consider his perspective.

Whether it's love or friendship, it's possessive; she can't let Mingyue think she doesn't want him anymore. Although she can still make friends, she promised that in this world (the martial arts world), her most cherished friend must be Mingyue.

Therefore, although Linghao has changed her opinion of Gongziyu, there is still some distance between the two.

Of course, this was only what Hao thought; in reality, Gongzi Yu had noticed her change in attitude. Even though she was still deliberately keeping her distance, he could still sense the difference in her. This made him quite relieved and gave him more confidence in the future.

Even if it was another Ah-Hao he met first, so what? In the end, he still came from behind.

"Are we about to arrive in Kyoto?" The weather was a bit stuffy, so Linghao opened the car window.

"Yes." Gongzi Yu nodded. "We'll arrive in Kyoto in half a day."

"That's great." Ling Hao leaned half his body against the carriage window. "I can finally get out of this carriage."

Gongzi Yu's brows furrowed. "You don't like this carriage?" And you don't like me either?

He didn't ask the last question.

“No,” Linghao shook her head. “Riding in a carriage is much more comfortable than riding a horse. You don’t have to be exposed to the wind and sun or get dusty. But no matter how good the carriage is, it’s still tiring to sit in it for a long time.” She had said before that since no one was chasing her anymore, she didn’t need to continue pretending to be her husband.

However, Gongzi Yu disagreed, saying that there might be some unexpected events, and it turned out that he was right. So they traveled by carriage the whole way. But no matter how good the carriage is, it will be uncomfortable after sitting for a long time.

Now that they were finally arriving in Kyoto, she could finally stop taking the carriage and breathe a sigh of relief.

"I see." Gongzi Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Why did you come to Kyoto? Can you tell me?" he asked again.

Linghao didn't answer him. Instead, she said, "The weather is so stuffy. It feels like it's going to rain." She wasn't stupid; how could she reveal her true intentions? She had tricked Shici into revealing information before, and was much more cautious when facing her later. This showed that someone had told Shici something.

She wouldn't reveal her true purpose, otherwise he might move Mingyue to another place. That wouldn't do; she had finally arrived in the capital after a long and arduous journey. If Gongzi Yu moved Mingyue, she would have to go through all the trouble of finding someone else.

Rain? Gongzi Yu's heart skipped a beat. He looked out the car window at the weather, his brows furrowed. "Poetry."

"Yes, young master." Poetry rode his horse closer to the carriage. "Approximately how long will it take for it to rain?"

The poet didn't understand, but still replied, "Perhaps it will be soon."

Gongzi Yu was clearly dissatisfied with the poem's response, but he knew that asking would be useless; how could they possibly control the celestial phenomena? "Alright, step back." He needed to think of a solution.

Strange, why does he seem somewhat uneasy? Ling Hao looked at Gongzi Yu with a puzzled expression. However, she quickly stopped paying attention to him, because she noticed that many martial arts practitioners were lurking nearby, and they were all heading in the same direction.

What happened?
