However, the young lady of Lingxian Island, Hua Lingfei, was indeed demeaning herself. As far as he knew, none of the three respectable young ladies in the island lord's mansion were married yet. He had been to the Wind and Cloud Competition twice, but he had never seen or heard of Hua Rujin.
"Oh!" After being yelled at by Tian Haoze, Hua Rujin dared not make a sound and quietly followed behind him.
"By the way, which room does Bei Ming Yaowei usually stay in when he comes to Lingxian Island?" Getting back to the point, it's more important to know what Bei Ming Yaowei is planning to do.
“Bei Ming Yaowei is my father’s friend, but he rarely stays overnight on Lingxian Island. He usually arrives in the morning and returns during the day. If he really wants to stay at the island lord’s mansion, he will definitely stay at Bishui Residence next to Lingxian Residence. It is closer to my father’s Lingxian Residence, which is convenient for them to discuss matters.”
Is it far from here?
"It's not far. We'll get there quickly if we go through this passage." Hua Rujin led Tian Haoze to turn right at the bend ahead.
“Young Master Tian, this is Biyue Residence. This courtyard is reserved for Bei Ming Yaowei. Apart from his personal guards, he generally doesn’t allow anyone to approach it, not even the servants of the Island Lord’s Mansion.”
"So vigilant?" Tian Haoze thought to himself. Bei Ming Yaowei was being so cautious simply because he was afraid Haotian would seek revenge. He rarely left the Bei Ming Continent, and even when he did, he did so very secretly. But did he think that hiding in the Bei Ming Continent would keep him safe? The Bei Ming Continent ultimately belonged to Haotian, and one day, he would help Haotian reclaim what belonged to him.
Do you know why he's so wary?
Tian Haoze suddenly asked with a smile.
"Why?"
Hua Rujin asked with a curious expression.
"Of course it's because he did something wrong."
"Did you do something wrong? What wrong thing?" Hua Rujin knew exactly what was going on.
"What guilty conscience do you have? Guilty conscience is never a good thing. Alright, stop asking so many questions. Wait here for me. I'll go to Bei Ming Yaowei's room to listen for any noise."
Hua Rujin stood there unhappily, inwardly complaining, "He really knows how to keep people in suspense. Wasn't it him who brought it up just now...?"
Tian Haoze pressed his ear against the wall, slightly channeling his spiritual energy, and listened intently to the sounds inside. After listening for a long time, Tian Haoze frowned, but there was no sound from inside. Could it be that he was too late?
Even after his legs went numb, Tian Haoze still didn't hear any sound.
"Let's go! Let's head back tonight."
Tian Haoze thought that Bei Mingyaowei was seriously injured by Haotian and should still be recuperating. There would definitely be some movement tomorrow night.
"Did you hear anything?"
Hua Rujin pursed her lips and asked cautiously, afraid that Tian Haoze would get angry again.
"You really can't read between the lines. You can tell from my expression that I didn't hear anything," Tian Haoze replied in a bad mood.
"Oh!" On the way back, neither of them spoke, and they walked silently.
In comparison, Baili Yuechan and Dongfang Yifei were the most restless.
Baili Yuechan and Dongfang Yifei did not stay at the island lord's mansion, but instead stayed at the island's inn, which was more convenient for them.
"Tell me, where did those two go?"
Dongfang Yifei tapped the table, his eyes narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura.
Baili Yuechan remained calm and composed as she served tea. No matter the occasion, her beauty was always the ultimate in the eyes of men, including Dongfang Yifei, who was always fond of beautiful women, and was sometimes captivated by her charming and alluring temperament.
"Young Master Dongfang, aren't you getting anxious now? Isn't it too late? What do women think when they're together?"
Baili Yuechan did not stop what she was doing, speaking without batting an eye. This was not the first time she and Dongfang Yifei had discussed this topic.
"That's right. When a man is with a woman, he only wants to do one thing. If he were with a beauty like a princess, I would believe that a man would do what he wants to do with a woman. However, it is unlikely that Nangong Ziyan and Beiming Haotian would do the same thing."
Dongfang Yifei smiled. He wasn't worried about that. He didn't believe that Nangong Ziyan's looks could bewitch the Demon Lord to such an extent.
"If you're so dissatisfied with your fiancée's appearance, why are you so persistent in pursuing her?"
Baili Yuechan stopped serving tea and looked at Dongfang Yifei. Could it be that Nangong Ziyan had some secret that she hadn't discovered?
“I have my reasons for marrying her, Princess. Nangong Ziyan is very kind. I can say with certainty that she is incomparable to other women. I don’t quite understand the others either. After all, I only go to the South China Sea Glass Palace once a year, and the longest I stay is only about half a month.”
"Kindness?" Baili Yuechan smiled sarcastically, looking at Dongfang Yifei with a sarcastic expression. Could kindness really make her live longer?
Dongfang Yifei raised his eyes slightly and moved his somewhat stiff body a little, completely ignoring Baili Yuechan's mocking gaze.
"Isn't kindness good?"
"Young Master Dongfang, a kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden. Look at those so-called kind people, how many of them can have a good end?"
After speaking, Baili Yuechan took a sip of tea, pondering the best time to make her move. In order not to arouse Dongfang Yifei's suspicion, she needed to devise a plan carefully. Right, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. After Dongfang Yifei rescued the person, she could send someone to kidnap Nangong Ziyan. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? Baili Yuechan smiled coldly, yet her smile possessed a captivating beauty.
