Chapter 31 Doubt



Li Yun remembered that the tranquilizer gun and the tranquilizer needle were still on the ground, so he quickly ran to the wild boar and secretly picked up the tranquilizer needle and put it into his sleeve. He then ran to where the tranquilizer gun fell, and while Shangguan Fei was not looking, he quietly picked it up and put it into his sleeve, actually putting it into the space.

Shangguan Feiyun saw all of Li Yun's little movements clearly, but he just didn't ask him in person.

Shangguan Feiyun had seen Li Yun use the tranquilizer gun. He simply thought the weapon was strange, curved and black, something he had never seen before. Later, he saw a needle being shot into a wild boar, but due to the boar's thick skin, the needle couldn't penetrate and fell to the ground.

Shangguan Feiyun was certain that the weapon in Lady Li's hand was not possessed by the Jin Dynasty. He didn't know whether other countries had it, but he was certain that the woman before him was no ordinary person.

"Master Shangguan, I went into the mountains to collect herbs but got lost and ended up here. I don't know where Master Shangguan's home is. Could you take me there to rest?" Li wanted to know where Shangguan Feiyun's home was so that he could prepare a thank-you gift and visit him.

"Madam Li, my humble abode is deep in the mountains. If you don't mind, please come with me and stay for a while." Shangguan Feiyun had initially dismissed the idea that she was sent by someone else, but after this question, his doubts returned. An ordinary woman would never follow a strange man to someone else's home. If she followed him, she must have a purpose.

Li Yun didn't know Shang Gong Feiyun's thoughts, otherwise she would definitely laugh at him. As a 21st-century soul, she was afraid to go to other people's homes. In the 21st century, friends visited each other.

"Don't mind. It's good to have a place to rest. Please lead the way, Young Master Shangguan." How could Li Yun be disgusted? This was her original purpose. Judging from Shangguan Feiyun's clothes, he didn't look like the young master of an ordinary wealthy family. He might be the young master of a high-ranking official in the capital.

"Madam Li, please follow me." Shangguan Feiyun said and left.

Li Yun followed Shangguan Feiyun all the way into the mountains. The path he led was winding and uneven. In some places, the grass was taller than a person, and in others, there were slow-moving trees everywhere. Fortunately, Shangguan Feiyun was leading the way, clearing away any difficult areas. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to get through.

Just when Li Yun was so tired that he was about to collapse, he finally arrived at Shangguan Feiyun's house.

Shangguan Feiyun's house is a three-room blue brick and tile house surrounded by high walls, probably to prevent wild animals from entering.

Li Yun looked at the blue brick and tile house in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

There are only three possibilities for being able to build such a house and live in such a place.

First, he was the young master of a wealthy family, but wouldn't the young masters of wealthy families have attendants and guards waiting on them? Shangguan Feiyun didn't look like he had anyone waiting on him.

Secondly, the legitimate son of a high-ranking official in the capital was framed by his family, driven out, and fled to the mountains. This was also impossible. High-ranking officials and nobles were usually dandies. They were not good at martial arts. Seeing that Master Shangguan was a martial artist, he couldn't be a dandy in the capital.

The third type is a martial artist, or perhaps a mountain bandit. If they are a martial artist living in the mountains, there is only one possibility: they are hiding here to escape being hunted by their enemies. The other type is a mountain bandit or a local bandit, who is even more terrifying. They are here to avoid being wanted by the imperial court or government.

No matter which one it was, she couldn't afford to offend him. For the sake of her family's safety, she should send the thank-you gift as soon as possible and stop interacting with him from now on.

Shangguan Feiyun saw Li Yun remained silent for a long time. He looked over and saw that she was in deep thought, which made him feel even more suspicious. She must have been sent by the enemy, otherwise she wouldn't be so concerned about a strange man.

He hoped that she was not what he thought, and that what she thought had nothing to do with him, otherwise he wouldn't mind sending her off in person. Shangguan Feiyun still hoped that Li Yun was not sent by someone else. For some reason, the thought that she was someone sent by someone else to assassinate him made him feel a little depressed and uncomfortable. This feeling made Shangguan Feiyun very unhappy.

If Li Yun knew Shangguan Feiyun was thinking this way, she would definitely laugh at him. Although she liked handsome men, not just anyone could catch her eye. She only looked at him a few times because she thought he was handsome and pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, she would ignore him. When it came to her family's safety and the handsome man, Li Yun was still very wise. Without life, what was the point of being handsome?

"Mr. Shangguan, this is your humble home. You are really modest. This yard should cost about one hundred taels, right? Why are Mr. Shangguan's family members not here? Don't they live with you?" Li Yun asked Shangguan Fei tentatively to see what he would say.

"Madam Li, my family isn't here; they're somewhere else. Madam Li, you're so concerned about me and my family. Could it be that you really love me? Don't forget, you're already married. This isn't something a married woman should be thinking." Shangguan Feiyun reaffirmed Li Yun's probing. She wasn't a simple person; she might have been sent by an enemy to deal with him. Such thoughts made Shangguan Feiyun uncomfortable. He shook his head, trying to shake off those inappropriate thoughts.

"Mr. Shangguan, you're overthinking it. I'm just curious why you live alone in the mountains. Without anyone around to talk to you, isn't it lonely?" If Li Yun still can't see that something is wrong with Shangguan Feiyun, then she's really wasting her life. Seeing how defensively he spoke to her, she knew he thought she was a bad person. Does she look like a bad person? Li Zhi was speechless. She was testing him, but she was just afraid that he was a bad person and that his anger would bring trouble to his family.

"Madam Li, whether there is a misunderstanding or not, everyone knows it, so I won't say more." Shangguan Feiyun still believed in his intuition. He felt that the woman in front of him was not as simple as she seemed.

"Mr. Shangguan, no matter what, you are my savior. If there is anything you need help with, I will help you in every way I can. Although I don't know why you are in the mountains, I don't want to know." Li Yun felt that she should make it clear to Shangguan Feiyun. Although she was grateful for his life-saving grace, he had to draw a clear line between them.

"Madam Li, I didn't expect that you are not only beautiful, but also good at speaking. I admire you." Shangguan Feiyun didn't expect Li Yun to speak like this, which made him look at her with admiration.

"Mr. Shangguan, you're joking. I don't have to be that ugly, but you say I'm beautiful. It seems that Mr. Shangguan is really blind. Even I dislike myself, but Mr. Shangguan says I'm beautiful." Li Yun wanted to laugh. What kind of aesthetic concept is this that an ugly person can be called a beautiful person.

"Madam Li, you are not ugly at all, just a little dark and a little thin. If you take good care of yourself, you will definitely be a great beauty if you marry her." Shangguan Feiyun was still confident about this.
