The moonlight was like water, and the autumn wind was chilly. At this moment, a shadow suddenly fell beside him, and an imposing danger came from behind.
Xie Lingqin felt a chill run down her spine. Instead of turning around, she looked sharply ahead.
Because what lies behind is just a small part; ahead, the moonlight shines obliquely, casting dappled shadows on the walls at the fork in the road, where one can almost hear the sound of robes rustling.
"Thieves are shameful." At the same time, a voice came from ahead.
It was a man's voice, extremely pleasant to listen to, like a gentle breeze parting the distant mountains—rich, magnetic, aloof, and alluring, yet—extremely contemptuous.
"Steal? How do you know I didn't leave any silver for them?" Xie Lingqin's tone was calm, showing no sign of panic.
She certainly didn't leave any money behind, but she did leave behind a pair of earlobes—a pair of ordinary earlobes that would never be used to trace her identity.
"Heh!" A cold laugh seemed to come from ahead, carried somewhat by the wind. Then, with a soft rustling of clothes, the person stepped forward from the shadows, suddenly enveloped in a layer of silvery moonlight.
The face is still not clearly visible, but the general outline of the body can be seen.
Elegant, upright, slender, and noble—absolutely captivating! Absolutely imposing!
In short, it's hard to tell who's friend and who's foe.
"Only a pair of earlobes." The tone of the statement sent chills down one's spine for no apparent reason.
Xie Lingqin's expression tightened. This person knew so much; it seemed he had been following her all along, and she hadn't noticed at all.
"It's best to be honest with your savior, so you can live a little longer." The man's voice rose again, clearly mellow and pleasant to the ear, yet chilling to the bone.
Xie Lingqin was slightly taken aback, then her expression relaxed. It turned out to be that "master".
Okay, Xie Lingqin braced herself and bowed, "I'm poor."
Her pronunciation was clear and her tone was cool. She spoke with an innocent and pitiful air, which seemed to surprise the person in front of her. She walked forward, her exquisite features gleaming with a bewitching and mysterious light in the night.
A sudden gust of wind stirred, causing the man's robe to billow, its cloud-like patterns resembling ribbons. The jade pendant at his waist shimmered like moonlight on water, and the half-revealed face, exposed only by the flickering beams of light, was enough to take the world's breath away.
Xie Lingqin's breath hitched. Even though she was born cold and aloof and had seen countless people, she had to admit that this man was exceptionally handsome, too handsome.
Her face was like beautiful jade, her eyebrows like long willows, and her eyes like ink pools. Most importantly, she possessed an extraordinary and captivating temperament, as if she were a gentle breeze and a bright sun. Every gesture and movement of hers was distinctly cool and aloof, yet she could surpass all things in the world.
That wise prince was also handsome, but compared to him, he could only be described as inferior.
Even disregarding appearance, just in terms of temperament, she's already lost.
Of course, this man, to be precise, based on the jade pendant at his waist and the auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with the finest silk thread on the hem of his exquisite robe, his identity...
It's about to emerge.
The Crown Prince.
