Xiao Tang froze instantly.
At this moment, the only way to appear is through the Huaiyang Escort Agency...
Ning Cang glanced at Xiao Tang.
It was obvious that her expression had stiffened.
The words I wanted to say in refusal stuck in my throat.
He said, "Yes, please come in."
Snap!
Xiao Tang slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table, expressing her emotions.
Seeing the guards go out to greet the guests, she quickly stood up: "My lord, it's getting late, I won't disturb you any longer, I'll take my leave now."
Ning Cang did not speak to stop her.
Because at that moment, the man wearing the ghost mask had already appeared.
Xiao Tang almost bumped into his chest, barely managing to cover her head and back away.
[Oh no, I've been caught red-handed!]
She secretly glanced up and met the man's deep eyes behind his mask.
Her somewhat flustered face was reflected in his eyes.
Should I pretend I don't know him...?
Her eyes flickered, and she quickly lowered her head, feigning annoyance.
"My apologies, my apologies. I wasn't watching where I was going. Is this young master alright?"
"Um?"
A deep, mellow male voice rang out.
This also made Xiao Tang's heart jump into her throat.
Pretend you don't know me!
[Big villain, it's time to test our teamwork!]
Firstly, since it's Huaiyang Escort Agency, Ning Cang probably doesn't know that it's the main villain.
Secondly, the two are mortal enemies, yet the main villain came knocking on their door beforehand.
If they started fighting, she would feel... guilty.
Di Jingling deliberately did not do as she wished, and reached out to grab her wrist. "Mr. Hao Fang, the head of our escort agency is waiting for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the person outside.
"Wait a minute." Ning Cang clearly realized something was wrong.
His phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously, his gaze sweeping over Di Jingling with unbridled ferocity.
He suddenly felt that the masked man looked somewhat familiar.
Moreover, the ghost mask was standard issue for the subordinates of Regent Emperor Jingling.
The man's appearance in this manner was undoubtedly a way of telling him that he was sent by Di Jingling, as if he were showing off his power to him.
Ning Cang said coldly, "Brother, this is my place, the Marquis of Dingbei. How can you come and go as you please?"
"What's more, they stole my guest right in front of me."
The moment he opened his mouth, the air in the room seemed to freeze.
The atmosphere is tense and ready to fight.
Xiao Tang looked to the left, then to the right.
[Oh no, this is terrible!]
The main villain is about to lose his temper... I need to calm him down before he does!
She quickly grabbed Di Jingling's arm.
"So you came looking for me, young master. You should have said so earlier. Come on, let's leave now."
Without giving Ning Cang another chance to speak, she grabbed Di Jingling and strode away.
She wished she could drag the man away and run away with him.
There wasn't even time to say goodbye to Ning Cang.
Only Di Jingling showed no intention of turning back, letting Xiao Tang pull him away as they ran.
Ning Cang remained seated, staring at the two figures rushing away, his brows furrowed.
I don't know why.
He was unusually displeased.
Moreover, the masked man always gave him a feeling that was both annoying and familiar...
Like...
His arch-enemy.
At that moment, a guard entered from outside the door, "My lord, those two..."
Why did the people from Huaiyang Escort Agency come and go, and why were they pulled away by Hao Fang? That doesn't make sense.
Ning Cang remained silent, tapping his fingers on the table.
"Have men keep a close eye on them, and inform me of any movements they make."
...
Xiao Tang stopped walking outside the Marquis of Dingbei's residence.
She released the man's large hand. "Why are you here?"
Hearing her question, Di Jingling narrowed his eyes and said unhappily, "What, are you afraid that I will disturb your good time?"
He was clearly angry.
Xiao Tang could tell that these were just angry words.
She pouted slightly, tentatively reached out, and gently grasped his large hand.
However, the man angrily shook her hand away.
It was as if he was telling her that he was very angry.
Xiao Tang gritted her teeth.
How many times do I have to stroke your hair today, you idiot?
Too much frizzy hair can easily lead to baldness.
"Let's go back to the inn," he said heavily.
He strode ahead.
Xiao Tang followed behind, but the man's legs were long, and soon the two of them were far apart.
[Hey, hey, hey, you big boy, you think you're so great just because you have long legs? Walking so fast, don't you know you should wait for your mother?]
The man ahead subtly slowed his pace.
He used to be furious when he heard Xiao Tang refer to herself as "mother" and call him "son," and he wished he could bite her to death.
Now?
Oh.
Just take it as a joke and move on.
He didn't believe that this woman really had the guts to treat him like a son.
The two returned to the inn, where Yan Jiu came out to greet them.
“Your Majesty… I have failed in my duty. Please punish me.”
"What's wrong?" Xiao Tang asked first.
Seeing Yan Jiu's expression as if the sky were about to collapse, Xiao Tang also felt something was wrong.
"His Majesty... has disappeared again."
Yan Jiu tugged at the corner of his lips.
It seems like one problem after another is brewing.
One moment he was chasing after the princess, the next he was chasing after the emperor.
How did it disappear?
Compared to Yan Jiu's depression, Di Jingling was unusually calm.
He entered the inn indifferently and sat down.
She was completely different from how she was when she saw Xiao Tang was missing.
