Inside the hall, the candlelight flickered, and Qin Qianluo sat upright beside the table, the maps and military books on the table glowing and dimming in the candlelight.
She casually toyed with a command arrow in her hand, her knuckles turning bluish-white from the slight pressure.
She seemed nonchalant, but when Long Nanzhi's figure came into view, her pupils instantly contracted, and her gaze became as sharp as a hawk's.
Qin Qianluo's gaze seemed to casually sweep over Long Nanzhi, but in reality, it was like a precise ruler, measuring the other party from the inside out.
From the exquisite yet understated embroidery on Long Nanzhi's clothes to her subtle, wary demeanor, nothing escaped Qin Qianluo's notice.
The mysterious aura emanating from Long Nanzhi acted like a giant magnet, making Qin Qianluo's doubts grow even stronger.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Qianluo put down the command token in her hand and tapped the table rhythmically with her slender fingers, making a dull sound.
Her gaze remained fixed on Long Nanzhi, and she silently said to Feng Qingyun, "Yunbao, look at Long Nanzhi. She hasn't uttered a sound since she woke up, and her eyes are full of wariness."
Her caution made it difficult for me to ascertain her origins.
If anyone else were with her, not only might she take advantage of the situation, but they also wouldn't be able to contact me immediately.
After much thought, I've decided that having you accompany her is the safest course of action, and only then can I truly feel at ease.
Feng Qingyun's soft, sweet reply, like the gentlest spring breeze, drifted into Qin Qianluo's heart: "Okay!"
She was well aware of Qin Qianluo's hidden worries. Long Nanzhi was like a veil of mist, exuding a mysterious aura that was indescribably eerie.
Like a whirlpool lurking in the shadows, it could drag everyone into an unknown crisis at any moment.
As a top-tier strategist, Feng Qingyun, with her unique abilities and keen perception, is undoubtedly the best candidate to handle this situation.
After arranging everything properly, Qin Qianluo, with a calm expression, walked steadily and powerfully towards the side hall.
After Feng Qingyun emerged from the space, Qin Qianluo quickly turned back, her posture as slender as a pine tree, leading her towards the main hall.
Upon entering the main hall, Ning Yu, Ning Shuyao, and Mu Yunxi were already waiting there for quite some time.
The three of them were instantly drawn to Feng Qingyun. This was the first time they had ever seen Feng Qingyun's true face.
She was petite and delicate, like a refined doll that had stepped out of a dreamlike painting.
Her face was as pink and tender as a flower petal with morning dew, and her big, watery eyes were like a clear spring.
It shimmers with a lively light, as if it holds countless little secrets.
Her hair was smooth and shiny, shimmering softly in the candlelight.
Her small hands gripped Qin Qianluo's clothes tightly, her slightly curled fingers revealing a hint of timidity. Her whole demeanor exuded a sweet and adorable charm, making one want to get closer and protect her.
Ning Shuyao and Mu Yunxi, being women, saw Feng Qingyun's appearance and their eyes instantly lit up like bright stars, their cheeks flushing with excitement.
Ning Shuyao subconsciously took half a step forward, her hands trembling slightly involuntarily, her nails almost digging into her palms.
I couldn't wait to rush up to her, hold her in my arms, and affectionately rub her rosy little face.
Qin Qianlu coughed lightly, her clear voice echoing in the hall, and was about to introduce, "This little girl is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Yunxi, like a lively lark, eagerly interrupted.
She took two quick steps forward, her skirt fluttering, and her clear voice echoed in the hall: "The Imperial Advisor once predicted that Your Highness possesses extraordinary abilities."
"Today, we are astonished to see such a special little fellow by the Prince's side! Such skill is unmatched throughout the entire capital. We admire him from the bottom of our hearts!"
The carved and gilded candlesticks cast dappled light and shadow in the main hall. Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Qin Qianluo's eyebrows twitched slightly, almost imperceptibly, on her smooth forehead.
His once calm face now showed a slight, uncontrollable twitch at the corner of his mouth, like a fleeting ripple on a lake surface touched by a gentle breeze.
Looking sideways at Feng Qingyun beside him, the little guy resembled an innocent and adorable rabbit in spring, blinking his bright and clear eyes as he curiously looked around.
Her delicate pink fingers would occasionally tug at the hem of her dress, the gold thread embroidery on it appearing faintly in the candlelight.
Qin Qianlu opened her mouth, but all the explanations she had prepared vanished without a trace, as if swept away by an invisible wind.
How could she explain Feng Qingyun's background to everyone? This thorny question, at this moment, was like a dense fog, trapping her inside.
Just now, I was only thinking about getting Feng Qingyun out as soon as possible to deal with the complicated situation. My brain was like a high-speed gear, but I overlooked this key link that could affect the whole situation.
Fortunately, Mu Yunxi's timely words were like a timely rain after a long drought, relieving her predicament.
Qin Qianluo's tense nerves instantly relaxed, her shoulders slumped slightly, and she calmly and skillfully accepted the "stepping stone" offered by the other party.
