[Pfft! Hahahaha... Host, host, did Chi Yue actually believe your story? This is so funny~ He actually let you go~ And even included you in the fun.]
Ever since encountering Chi Yue, the system has been hiding in its space, trying to suppress its laughter, completely bewildered by Yu Ling's strategy for dealing with enemies.
Now that Yu Ling has settled down, she's happily following behind Chi Yue, and the system can't help but burst out laughing.
Hehe, it's really fun to have a monster as a host. How come he always makes some unexpected and magical choices? And he actually got a good result, escaping the plot-induced death and the unexpected danger of Chi Yue.
Clearly, the system itself is also someone who enjoys watching a good show. As long as the host doesn't die, whatever anger or beatings the host suffers is entertaining to it.
Yu Ling took a moment to reply in her mind:
"Is there any need to guess? Anyone with a brain knows I'm lying."
System: ...? Host, are you mocking my intelligence? I have evidence!
The system was sad, and it looked aggrieved and didn't want to talk.
But Yu Ling had no time to coax this dramatic good-for-nothing; he was rushing on his way using his light-footed skills.
Is this Blood Shadow Pavilion Master a rebel leader or an athlete? He's running so fast, is he trying to take off?! His legs must be about to break.
In fact, Chi Yue used all her strength in using her lightness skill. She originally wanted to see if Yu Ling could keep up or take the opportunity to escape so that she could find an excuse to bully her. She didn't expect that the other party would actually catch up.
I have this feeling that some intellectual is deliberately running away with human traffickers, selling himself out and then helping them count the money.
It's clear that Yu Ling went to great lengths to maintain this image of a rich, foolish, and simple-minded woman.
As for OOC?
Please! Anyway, the original owner was a scoundrel who would do anything to achieve his goals, and I'm just compromising to survive, which fits the character perfectly!
The two chased each other until they stopped outside a city wall. This was Shangyang City, the closest city to Wuhen Cliff.
Because it was located on the edge of the imperial territory when it was built, Shangyang City is frequented by all sorts of people from various sects and factions. Many martial artists who do not want to travel outdoors and sleep in the open will choose to stay here.
Yu Ling and Chi Yue stood together in front of the city gate, looking around Shangyang City. Although this place could not compare to the prosperity of the imperial capital, it still had a certain air of wealth and was heavily guarded.
Yu Ling's attire is acceptable; she looks like a respectable person. But Chi Yue's face is covered by a bamboo hat, and she doesn't look like a good person at all. It's uncertain whether she will be allowed to pass.
Unexpectedly, before they had taken more than a few steps, the garrison commander of Shangyang City recognized Chi Yue's identity at a glance and came out to greet them personally, without even checking his identity token.
Is Blood Shadow Pavilion really that influential in government territory?
Yu Ling and Chi Yue entered the city together and headed north. After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the center of the city, where there was a very large mansion.
Looking up, one can see a lifelike bas-relief of dragons and phoenixes carved above the mansion, and the plaque bears the two large characters "Sun Mansion," suggesting it was a wealthy family.
Chi Yue stopped in front of the mansion.
Yu Ling asked:
"My lord, are we going inside to visit our guests?"
"Stop pretending, it'll get boring if you keep acting."
Chi Yue raised her hand and slapped Yu Ling on the head.
The movement felt strangely familiar; it seemed like Yu Ling had done it somewhere before.
But what does "pretend" mean?
Full of questions, Yu Ling followed Chi Yue into the gate of the Sun residence. The two gatekeepers on either side of them kept their eyes down and ignored them as if they were invisible, without stopping them.
As you enter the mansion, a rich floral fragrance immediately fills the air. The Sun Mansion is a riot of color, with all sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs scattered throughout. The pavilions and towers are arranged in a harmonious and exquisite manner, making one want to admire them.
This family is really rich; they're much more impressive than the original owner's sinister Sunset Cult.
Yu Ling clicked her tongue in amazement.
Upon seeing Chi Yue, the servants cleaning the Sun residence immediately knelt down to pay their respects, addressing him as "Young Master." Chi Yue nodded slightly, indicating that they should rise. Only then did the servants dare to stand up, bowing their heads and not daring to look at him again.
In the Sun family mansion, everyone knew that this Young Master Chi was the infamous Blood Shadow Pavilion Master in Shangyang City. He was ruthless and bloodthirsty, a demon who killed without blinking an eye. How could they dare to provoke him?
Yu Ling frowned. This so-called Pavilion Master is so imposing, much more so than the original owner of this body. He's got quite the presence; he should be the villainous big boss.
Chi Yue then shouted towards the main courtyard:
"You surnamed Sun, get out here right now!"
His voice was cold and icy, causing the servants to shrank to the side, not daring to utter a sound.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ling couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. In this Sun family mansion, Chi Yue not only wasn't afraid, but actually dared to run rampant. How dare she!
"They're here! Stop making such a racket, what kind of behavior is this!"
Just then, a middle-aged man with a beard walked out of the room. He was wearing a light blue robe, his hair was tied with a white ribbon, and he was thin and pale, looking sickly, but the ferocity and cruelty in his eyes were not diminished in the slightest.
The moment Yu Ling saw him, a strong sense of familiarity welled up within her; it was the aura of royalty, a feeling she knew all too well.
Are they royalty?
However... how could members of the royal family be mixed up with the Blood Shadow Pavilion? That doesn't make sense!
Just as Yu Ling was lost in thought, the middle-aged man, "surnamed Sun," suddenly looked up at her. Seeing her handsome face, he couldn't help but be amazed, but then a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
Yu Ling's lips twitched slightly. This person was far too arrogant! She curled her lip and uttered a few words in a barely audible voice:
"Me? Mo Feiyan."
At that moment, a burst of snickering laughter rang out.
"Ha, you two are quite the actors! You! How could you not recognize him? Wasn't this the person you sent to find me?"
Chi Yue lifted his bamboo hat, revealing a handsome and deep-set face with sword-like eyebrows and eagle-like eyes. At first glance, he resembled a ferocious beast, exuding a dangerous aura.
"What would I be so bored as to send someone looking for you? I'd rather you never come back!"
The middle-aged man spoke angrily.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them stopped at the same time.
It seems...it appears...this is a misunderstanding?
So, who exactly is this young nobleman?
Then they all turned their heads away.
Suddenly being stared at by four wary eyes, Yu Ling broke out in a cold sweat.
What exactly is going on?
What should I say?
Damn it, how come he's always being forced to make up lies? He's out of words, he's really out of words, he can't make anything up at all!
The atmosphere was heavy, and the air grew colder.
Blinking her wide eyes, Yu Ling smiled innocently, her fingers twitching slightly as she tightly gripped Chi Yue's sleeve, the two of them extremely close. Then, in an incredibly affected and pretentious manner, Yu Ling uttered these words:
"Oh dear~ Don't look at me like that, I...I'm scared~"
