After doing all this, Yu Ying slowly stood up. Every movement seemed to have been carefully crafted, and her every gesture exuded elegance and composure.
She gently patted her clothes, which were made of high-quality, soft material and made a slight rustling sound as she patted them.
It seemed to be responding to her movements, or perhaps adding a unique rhythm to the quiet space.
She turned her head slightly, her eyes obscure and deep, like a cold star hidden in a thick fog, radiating an unfathomable light.
He glanced seemingly casually toward the door of the dark room, a glance that, though brief, was like lightning piercing the night sky and contained endless profound meaning.
Yet it vanished instantly into her calm, unwavering eyes, making it difficult for anyone to fathom the mystery within.
Then, her expression hardened, and she seemed to be instantly enveloped in a layer of cold frost, radiating a chilling aura that kept people at a distance.
The voice instantly returned to its usual coldness, like an icicle hanging high in the cold night, exuding a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Every word she uttered seemed to carry shards of ice, striking the air with a crisp, cold sound.
"Does Your Excellency know that the jade figure sought in the world of Chengxiao is none other than myself?"
Prime Minister Su is renowned far and wide, and I have long admired him. I have specially invited you to enjoy this candlelight spectacle, which can be considered as fulfilling my long-held wish.
I've heard that Prince Jinrui Zhao and Your Excellency share a deep friendship. There's no need to worry; she will come looking for you in a few days.
At that time, I will act as the matchmaker under the moon, and send the two of you on a sweet dream together.
I hope Your Excellency will savor this cup of chilled tea, as a small gift I have prepared for this meeting.
Su Jinyun's hands, hidden behind her back, gripped the brocade box tightly, like iron clamps.
His fingertips turned a pale white from excessive force, and his knuckles protruded, as if he wanted to embed the brocade box into his palm.
At this moment, her heart was like a tangled mess of countless mysteries, and doubts surged up from the depths of her heart like a turbulent tide.
Wave after wave surged, seemingly threatening to completely drown out her remaining sanity.
Her keen, hawk-like intuition sounded like a resounding alarm bell.
Tell her that behind Yu Ying's strange and illogical behavior, there must be a complex and unfathomable conspiracy and scheme.
However, by this time the ropes binding her had loosened considerably, given her profound and solid martial arts foundation.
Breaking free from these seemingly restrictive but actually useless ropes is a matter of a moment.
However, she did not act rashly. On the surface, she pretended to be calm and composed, but her expression was secretly vigilant as she subtly and closely observed Yu Ying's unfathomable gaze.
His eyes were like a deep, dark pool, seemingly calm and still, but actually concealing profound secrets.
Following the direction of Yu Ying's seemingly unintentional gaze, she also glanced at her quickly and discreetly.
This glance, seemingly casual and unintentional, actually reveals her meticulous observation and keen insight into her surroundings.
She tried to glean any potentially useful information from that brief glance.
Even the slightest clue can be the key to solving the mystery and getting out of trouble.
Then, feigning nonchalance, she took a few light and slow steps backward.
Each step was like cautiously probing the intricate, spiderweb-like situation around them.
It's like a silent yet thrilling battle against unknown dangers lurking in the darkness.
Her movements seemed natural, yet they revealed a degree of caution in the subtle details. Every step she took seemed to be walking on a tightrope of fate, where the slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.
As soon as her back touched the cold, icy wall, a chilling sensation instantly spread along her spine like an electric current, enveloping her entire body in an instant.
The chill was like the icy breath from hell, threatening to freeze her soul.
Just as the chill crept in, she perfectly timed her expression to look furious.
Her eyebrows instantly stood on end, resembling two sharp willow-leaf throwing knives, exuding a fierce aura.
Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, burning with a furious flame, as if she wanted to incinerate everything in front of her.
She angrily rebuked, "It was you! Now that you've trapped me in this deep, locked room, there's no need for further words."
The room is filled with a bone-chilling fragrance, which feels more genuine than your insincere invitation.
There's just one thing I have to say—if Qianluo were to make even the slightest mistake...
Even if my soul is scattered and I become a lonely spirit in the deepest hell, I will still follow the threads of hatred, relentlessly pursuing them day and night, never giving up.
Yu Ying's gaze lingered on Su Jinyun, and seeing her cooperate so perfectly, a wave of joy welled up inside her.
The smile first flashed across his eyes, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, and then quickly spread to the corners of his lips.
A slight upturn at the corners of her mouth outlined a faint smile, like a flower bud just beginning to bloom in spring, delicate yet reserved.
That smile not only contained an appreciation for Su Jinyun's intelligence, but also a hint of cunning that was hard for others to detect.
In this treacherous world, dealing with intelligent people is like embroidering on smooth silk—everything seems so natural and effortless.
No need for complicated words; a single glance or gesture is enough for them to understand each other perfectly. This tacit understanding truly made her feel great.
Immediately afterwards, she gently furrowed her brows, her brows slightly furrowed, as if harboring a faint regret.
Immediately, she parted her lips slightly and let out a soft, cold snort, the sound like a sudden gust of cold wind sweeping across a cold night.
