Chapter 59 Qing Yi is attacked
Qingyi glanced at Ruyi who was standing next to Qingqing, and thought to himself: This girl must be here to laugh at me!
"Since the young prince has said so, then let's do as he says! Thank you, Uncle Lin." Qing Yi politely bowed to Steward Lin. Steward Lin looked at the young man now and didn't think he was as arrogant as before. Thinking back to the few days he'd been staying at the palace, he'd been constantly drinking. He was indeed a wine lover, probably just a result of his youthful, straightforward, and outspoken personality.
Manager Lin thought to himself: This young man is very humorous and is quite an interesting person.
After Qing Yi finished speaking, he started walking away, and Qing Qing hurriedly followed.
"Master Qingyi, where are we going?" he asked softly.
"We? When did I say I wanted to go out with you?" Qing Yi turned his head to look at Qingqing who was following closely behind him.
"Ah? Are you going to leave the house by yourself?" Qingqing asked in surprise.
"Well, is that not possible? Why do you always follow me instead of following your master? If someone doesn't know, they would think you have some improper thoughts about me!" Qing Yi raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sly smile.
"You! So annoying!" Qingqing was originally a little touched by Qingyi's words, but after a while, this kid returned to his old ways and said such infuriating and annoying words. He even said that he had feelings for him, which was simply nonsense!
"If you hate me, don't follow me!" Qing Yi continued to walk towards the gate of the palace in a casual manner.
"Hey! Wait a minute, my master asked me to follow you!" Qingqing said helplessly.
"Then go tell your master that this hero wants to go out for a stroll by himself and doesn't need anyone to follow him." Qing Yi waved his hand, and his steps became lighter and lighter.
"Are you angry with the master because of Chenxiang? Then go find him, don't take it out on me, okay?" Qingqing grumbled helplessly, intending to go find the master to complain. However, as soon as she looked up, a blue figure suddenly jumped in front of her, frightening her so much that she screamed, "Ah!"
"Hey! What are you yelling about?" Qing Yi was also startled by Qing Qing's sudden scream. He looked around and saw that the servants of the palace had heard the commotion and cast curious glances at him.
"You, why are you back?" he asked softly, thinking to himself, this brat might be afraid of being scolded by his master, so he turned back.
"Well, I don't have any silver. Go get me some!" Qing Yi scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"......!" Qingqing was choked by Qingyi's words and was speechless for a moment. She didn't know what to say.
"I have money. I can pay for whatever you want to buy!" He said with a slight smile. It turned out that this kid came back because he had no money.
"Do you have enough silver? Don't come back to get it later, it's so troublesome! Why don't you go and give me some silver! Anyway, Xiaoye has spoken, I can spend it as I like." Qingyi looked at Qingqing with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"What do you want to buy? I have a lot here, not enough for you to spend?" Qingqing was afraid that Qingyi would not believe her, so she took off her purse from her waist and shook it in front of Qingyi.
"Let me see if it's enough?" Qing Yi snatched the purse before Qing Qing could react, then laughed heartily: "Hahahahahaha, lend me this money first, and I'll let Xiao Ye pay you back later!"
As soon as Qing Yi finished speaking, he used his Qing Gong skills and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He was so angry that he stamped his feet lightly: "This brat! How shameless! He actually stole my wallet!"
Let’s not talk about Qingqing going to Ye Qingyu to complain angrily. Let’s just talk about Qingyi, who walked out alone with the stolen money bag in his arms, humming a little tune.
Ever since arriving in the capital, Qing Yi had felt constrained in every way. While at the palace, he had to constantly be mindful of Xiao Ye, the young prince's noble status, and his words and actions had to be cautious in the presence of outsiders. In the imperial palace, the rules were even more numerous, making even casual movement a luxury. During their initial arrival in the capital, Qing Qing and he took a stroll through the streets, but unfortunately, they ran into Uncle Xue's youngest son, Xue An, which completely ruined their mood.
Qing Yi strolled onto a busy street and spotted a crowd of people gathered in the distance, their cheers and applause unceasing. He loved to join in the fun, so he quickened his pace and moved closer.
As he approached, Qing Yi struggled to squeeze through the crowd and saw a man and a monkey performing a juggling act. The monkey was clever and playful, its movements comical, drawing bursts of laughter from the crowd. Qing Yi also found it very amusing and began to watch with great interest.
As he was engrossed in the scene, Qing Yi suddenly felt someone touch him. Bumping into each other was common in this crowded place, but Qing Yi was no ordinary person. He reacted extremely quickly, reaching out a hand and precisely grasping the claw that was reaching for his waist.
"Hey! Damn it, is this thief blind? He actually stole from me!" Qing Yi cursed in his heart, and looked up at the person he caught. It turned out to be a child of about ten years old.
The child was dressed in rags, his hair was a mess, and his face was dirty, looking like a little beggar. Looking at the wrist that was grabbed, Qing Yi quickly let go, shook it in disgust, and cursed: "This is too dirty!"
When the child saw he was released, he darted out of the crowd like a frightened rabbit and took off running. Qing Yi refused to give up and lightly tapped his toes to chase him.
Although the child ran fast, he was still a little too young in front of Qing Yi. He didn't run far before Qing Yi caught up with him. Qing Yi didn't try to catch him, but simply blocked his way with his sword. If the child ran to the left, Qing Yi's sword would block it to the left; if the child ran to the right, Qing Yi's sword would block it to the right. After a few rounds, the child knew he was facing a master, so he stopped struggling and stopped obediently.
"Uncle, please forgive me, I was wrong!" the child begged for mercy in a crying voice.
"Heh! You only know how to admit your mistake now. What were you doing before? You made me chase you around in circles!" Qing Yi snorted coldly, pretending to be fierce.
"I was blind and didn't know I had met a master. I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time, sir." Although the child looked dirty, he spoke clearly and concisely.
"I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please spare my life, sir!" As he said that, the child knelt down with a plop.
Seeing this, Qing Yi was too lazy to care about it anymore. Since his wallet hadn't been stolen anyway, he said, "I'm kind-hearted, so I'll let you go this time. But if I see you stealing again, I'll chop off your hands and claws!"
"Yes, yes, I won't dare to do it again!" The child's attitude of admitting his mistake was very sincere.
Seeing him like this, Qing Yi didn't want to pay any more attention and turned to leave. But the moment he turned around, he suddenly felt the wind whistling behind him, and he thought to himself, "Oh no! It seems like a hidden weapon is coming!"
He reacted extremely quickly and dodged to the side, but the distance was too close. Even with his great skills, he was unable to completely avoid it. He only felt a sharp pain on the left cheek. A flying knife grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
