"Then why?"
Lian Que fell silent for a moment, then glanced into the distance.
He did not speak.
Bai Yin suddenly recalled what he had said earlier and immediately understood, "Is it because of her?"
Of course, he was referring to Ji Yunshu!
Lian Que did not deny it and said seriously, "Don't worry, I won't hurt that girl."
Ugh!
Bai Yin suddenly rose to her feet.
She took a few steps back and stared vigilantly at Lian Que who was still sitting on the stone steps.
She questioned, "When did you find out?"
Lian Que calmly replied, "Didn't you already know that I've been following you all this time? Since that's the case, how could I not know that she's a girl? "
As he spoke, he also stood up.
"What on earth do you want?" Bai Yin questioned.
"I just want to understand something."
"What is it?"
"That girl... Who on earth is she?" Bai Yin narrowed her eyes and placed her hand on the dagger hanging from her waist. She faced the man in front of her in a fighting stance and said, "You've hurt me once and I've hurt you once. Since you've helped me, I'll return the dagger to you. We're even now. But if you dare to do anything else...
I'll kill you right now. "
A threat!
Lian Que knew very well that no matter how much he tried to be friendly, the man before him would never let down his guard around him, much less treat him as a friend.
This was not surprising. After all, they had indeed had a misunderstanding before!
"Bai Yin, I'll say it again. I won't hurt you as long as you tell me why you came to Gaoding. And... that girl's identity. I promise I won't follow you anymore. "
What a joke!
Bai Yin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "No matter what your goal is, I won't tell you!"
"..."
"Also, the blade of the sword in your hand has a peacock engraved on it. In Huyi, only the nobility would have an object with a peacock engraved on it! So, who on earth are you? And what do you want? "
"Forgive me for not being able to tell you!" Lian Que immediately replied.
Bai Yin sneered. Lian Que said, "After all this, I believe you should be very clear that I'm not your enemy! I can also guarantee that I will definitely not hurt you. Otherwise, when we were in the Third Marquis' residence, I would not have saved you at all. I could have just stood aside and watched as you were surrounded by those guards.
Also, as long as you need it, I am willing to help you unconditionally. "
He was very sincere!
But, is there such a good thing in this world?
The flatbread that fell from the sky was always poisonous!
And …
Bai Yin would never reveal the purpose of their visit to Gao Ding to this man.
He said, "I don't want to fight you! Now, the sword has been returned to you. You should leave quickly. "
"Bai Yin..."
"Let's go before I regret it!"
Lian Que did not want to be his enemy, but under such circumstances, he could only leave temporarily.
After taking a few steps to the side, he stopped again!
He told Bai Yin seriously, "I hope you can understand one thing, we... are not enemies, we are friends!"
He was neither an enemy nor a friend.
Bai Yin's gaze fell upon his line of sight.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to feel Lian Que's sincerity.
There was no killing intent!
There was no scheme!
As a result, he was suddenly less guarded against Lian Que.
Then, he replied, "Whether we're enemies or friends, it's not up to you to decide! In short, we don't want to have anything to do with you. "
Lian Que was a little disappointed.
He had already expressed his goodwill to this extent, but he still could not gain the other party's trust in him.
However, he could only let it go.
He said, "If that's the case, I have nothing else to say. Farewell."
After saying that, he intended to leave, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
He turned around to look at Bai Yin.
She saw the man standing under the drifting snow. The light from the surrounding lanterns made him look faintly discernible. A pair of eyes was staring intently at her.
That gaze was all too familiar!
He said, "Do you know that you look very much like an old friend of mine?"
Hmm?
Bai Yin wanted to say something but hesitated...
Lian Que laughed bitterly instead, "But, I don't even know if he's alive or dead."
"Him? Who is he? "
"A man who could change the entire Huyi Dynasty!"
"Uh..."
Lian Que laughed bitterly again, "But you can't be him."
He used a very certain tone of voice.
In his heart, he told himself over and over again that the person in front of him only looked similar to Ah Jin.
Before Bai Yin could react, Lian Que had already leaped away.
He disappeared under the still snowy night.
Bai Yin watched as the figure disappeared. Only then did she slowly relax her grip on the dagger at her waist.
Actually, he wanted to say that he seemed to have seen Lian Que before. He even seemed to have seen the sword in his hand before.
However, before he could say anything, that person had already left!
Little did he know...
It was at the corner of the corridor where Song Zhi was standing.
He was holding a heater in his hand!
He had intended to give it to Bai Yin, but he had inadvertently seen the scene just now.
Naturally, he had also heard the conversation between Bai Yin and Lian Que.
That elegant Young Master Ji is a woman?
His eyes were filled with shock. He had yet to regain his senses!
He could only feel his heart beating violently. He could not stop it no matter what.
However, for some reason, he felt a bit of joy.
The throbbing in the depths of his heart was stirring.
At this moment, Lang Po returned.
He was holding two jars of wine.
Seeing this, Song Zhi immediately retreated to the side and silently left with the heater...
Lang Po saw Bai Yin standing in the courtyard. He walked over and asked, "What are you standing there for? Look at what I brought. Two jars of wine. Let's drink a few cups before Your Highness and Miss Ji arrive. "
Bai Yin snapped out of his daze.
However, he did not say anything. He quietly walked to the stone steps where he had just sat and took one of the jars from Lang Po's hands.
He minded his own business and began to drink.
He had a worried look on his face!
Lang Po was puzzled. He had only left for a short while. What happened to him?
When he looked again, he realized that the exquisite sword in Bai Yin's hand was no longer there. There were many footprints on the snow in the courtyard.
He immediately understood!
"That person has already been here?"
Bai Yin replied with a "Mm".
He continued to drink.
Lang Po was unhappy. He frowned and asked, "Did you fight?"
She shook her head.
"What did he say?"
She shook her head.
"So, you let him go just like that?"
He nodded. Lang Po shook his head in dissatisfaction. He reached out and snatched the wine jars from Ji Yunshu's hands. "I say, you're really strange. You and Miss Ji are clearly siblings. How can your personalities be so different? At least Miss Ji isn't as cold as you are. My Prince's heart has been warmed by Aunt Ji.
You, on the other hand, are so cold that you're about to become a block of ice. "
