This is perhaps the rarest and most unique scene in the world.
"How about we go to Tianxia Yiwei for some maocai? I'll give you a discount."
Perhaps it was too quiet, the atmosphere too eerie, Bai Yu said with a smile.
"You're in such a good mood, even at a time like this you're not forgetting to drum up business."
Yu Qingyi rolled her eyes.
The long street fell silent again.
Xie Lingqin looked at Yuwen Yao's slightly gloomy face, quietly tugged at his sleeve, and smiled gently, "Why don't you take me back to the General's Mansion first?"
Yuwen Yao paused slightly, glancing at her sideways. "When we return to the manor, don't you want to ask them anything?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin was taken aback.
She had questions to ask, and not only questions, but also things to say.
However, with several pressured followers following her, she didn't want to upset Yuwen Yao or make him jealous. Therefore, she preferred to go back to the manor with him first and talk about these things later.
but……
He knew her so well.
"Then..." Xie Lingqin pursed her lips, her starry eyes sparkling with light, "Do you want to kiss me to show your absolute ownership?"
She spoke softly, but the night breeze made it all the more alluring.
Like a tiny feather gently touching the tip of a tiger's heart, causing an unstoppable sweet flutter.
She was very close to him, and every scent emanating from her body wafted into his nostrils.
He knew she was always shy in front of others, but now she was making this request, which showed how much she loved him and how afraid she was of making him jealous.
"I want a kiss."
He said, then suddenly lowered his head, his thin, cool lips reflected on her jade-white face, before quickly moving away.
But under the cover of night, that beautiful moment of bowing one's head and raising it just in time, the handsome man and beautiful woman, as beautiful as a scroll being gently unfurled, was frozen in time.
This scene came quickly, yet slowly.
Not far behind, Xu Yiran's pupils contracted sharply. Yuwen Yao's actions didn't make him panic, but what did make him panic was the warm smile that Xie Lingqin had shown on her face for that instant, a smile he had never seen before.
Xiaoqin, if getting close to him will cause you pain, are you willing to do that?
Xu Yiran's hands, hidden in her sleeves, trembled slightly.
Xuanyuan glanced at him sideways. Sensing the gaze, Xu Yiran glanced at him as well. In that instant, their thoughts were so clear and unspoken, as if they understood the bitterness in each other's eyes.
"In broad daylight."
Yu Qingyi finally couldn't help but speak, swallowing hard, "I'm leaving."
He said he was leaving, and in the next instant, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Let's go together.
Xuanyuan Du concealed the faint bitterness in his eyes and followed suit.
"Go back to the mansion as soon as possible."
Yuwen Yao raised his hand and gently pinched Xie Lingqin's face, his voice slowly fading as he disappeared from the spot.
So only Nangong Feng, Bai Yu, and Xu Yiran remained on the quiet street.
"It seems you have nothing to say to me, so I'll take my leave now."
Seeing Xie Lingqin's expression, Xu Yiran turned around, her straight back swaying as she slowly walked away.
A night wind swept through, causing his brocade robe to flutter, revealing a hint of loneliness.
As Xie Lingqin watched Xu Yiran's retreating figure, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt, as if she owed him a great debt.
She actually wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of the man in black, but she knew he wouldn't tell her.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Nangong Feng's voice pulled Xie Lingqin back to reality.
"Yes, Second Prince, why are you so interested in the Underworld?"
Xie Lingqin didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
Nangong Feng paused, seemingly recognizing something beneath his hood, before saying, "I'm not interested in the Underworld, but only in protecting the peace of my Southern Qi."
Xie Lingqin's brow furrowed slightly.
The winter wind was a bit cold, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, making Nangong Feng's hood flutter and making his silhouette both clear and blurry, like looking at a mountain through the fog.
"Is the Yama Palace really that powerful, capable of influencing the Southern Qi?" Xie Lingqin asked after a moment.
"It's always good to be prepared," Nangong Feng said, looking at Xie Lingqin. "Do you love the Crown Prince very much?"
"What?"
"I didn't quite believe the rumors before, so I'm asking?"
Is this second prince of Southern Qi not gossipy enough?
"certainly."
When Xie Lingqin said those two words, she exuded a powerful and penetrating confidence.
"Understood." Nangong Feng suddenly smiled softly, then looked at Bai Yu. "Farewell, you two."
Xie Lingqin and Bai Yu only came to their senses after watching Nangong Feng's figure disappear for a long time.
"I always felt that this second prince of Southern Qi was a bit strange," Bai Yu said seriously, arms crossed.
Xie Lingqin nodded in strong agreement, "Indeed, but I can't sense any hostility from him."
"Could it be that you're so popular that not only Xu Yiran and the Crown Prince of Xuanyuan like you, but also the Second Prince of Southern Qi..."
"No."
Xie Lingqin raised her hand to interrupt Bai Yu, "You're thinking the wrong thing. I can feel that Nangong Feng has no feelings for me at all."
"That's really strange. Could it be that you have some kind of personal charm?"
Bai Yu looked Xie Lingqin up and down and said that he would never believe it.
"Alright, enough nonsense, let's talk about An Shangning." Xie Lingqin withdrew her gaze and lowered her voice.
Bai Yu immediately became serious, "An Shangning..."
“You know, she’s with Zhuidamu and is now his fiancée. She’s changed her name, but her face is just like An Shangning’s, so she’ll inevitably be in danger.” Xie Lingqin paused and then said, “Judging from how that Hei Bu Shui talked about her just now, she’s not safe with Zhuidamu either. So, once we’re in the capital, we should help her if we can.”
