Duanmu Yao was here!
Although she had been crippled by the Western Zhou Royal Family and had been hiding in the Celestial Mountain Sword Sect, she seemed to have lived a good life for the past one and a half years. She was originally as beautiful as a fairy, but she was a little skinny. Now that she had put on some weight, coupled with her half-exposed strapless dress, she seemed to have become more voluptuous.
Han Yunxi immediately noticed her sword. It had an icy blue scabbard and was of the same style as Long Fei Ye's treasured sword.
Duanmu Yao didn't carry a sword when she was still Western Zhou's princess. Now that she carried a sword, it meant that she had left the imperial family and was now a true member of the jianghu.
Han Yunxi knew that she and Long Fei Ye were both closed-door disciples of the Tianshan Kenzō Sect Master. They were both top-notch swordsmen.
From Han Yunxi's angle, she could only see Long Fei Ye's back. She could see Duanmu Yao's smiling face and adoring eyes. They were speaking so softly that she couldn't hear them clearly.
Han Yunxi watched in silence. She still felt uncomfortable.
She had thought that Long Fei Ye was in a hurry and couldn't let her join in. That was why he had her wait in the garden. She had snuck over and didn't go in directly because she didn't want to disturb him.
But she hadn't expected Duanmu Yao to be here!
Long Fei Ye had already explained the situation to her. Long Fei Ye had promised his master that he would protect Duanmu Yao until she turned eighteen.
A master for a day is a father for life. Han Yunxi understood that he couldn't go against his master's orders. But why didn't Long Fei Ye tell her that Duanmu Yao was here today? Why did he have her wait in the garden?
If he had something urgent, he could have just told her. Was there a need to hide it from her?
Han Yunxi was still feeling gloomy when Long Fei Ye suddenly leaned over. Duanmu Yao quickly moved closer and whispered into his ear.
Long Fei Ye!
Han Yunxi was infuriated. She immediately walked in and grabbed Long Fei Ye's arm as if she was declaring ownership. "Your Highness, Princess Yao is here. Why aren't you serving her tea?"
Duanmu Yao glanced at Han Yunxi, a cold smile flashing in her eyes. She said gently, "I'm not done yet, senior brother."
A complicated look flashed across Long Fei Ye's eyes. He gently patted Han Yunxi's hand and said, "Go prepare some refreshments."
Preparing refreshments was purely a matter of issuing an order. The Duke of Qin's estate had no shortage of servants, so Long Feiye's words were undoubtedly meant to send Han Yunxi away.
What kind of secret was Duanmu Yao hiding from her? Why did she have to whisper in her ear?
Han Yunxi didn't want to leave, but her heart softened when she saw Long Fei Ye gently stroking the back of her hand.
She pulled Long Fei Ye over and intimately whispered into his ear. It seemed like she was whispering, but she didn't actually say anything. She just breathed into his ear!
"Mn, go ahead." Long Fei Ye seemed to understand.
Such an intimate action was an eyesore to Duanmu Yao, but she still managed to keep her cool. It wasn't easy to get a chance to leave the mountain, so she definitely couldn't screw it up!
Although Duanmu Yao kept staring at her, Han Yunxi didn't pay her any more attention. Confident and at ease, she lifted her chin high and gracefully left without looking back.
She didn't want to lose her confidence in front of this woman. However, after she left, her eyes couldn't help but darken.
Long Fei Ye, how many more steps are there between us?
The past few days have been too warm. I almost thought that we've finished those hundred steps.
There are many things about you, about Tianshan Kenzō, about the Tang Sect, I haven't asked. Are you not going to take the initiative to tell me? If one day I stubbornly ask, will you be willing to tell me?
Han Yunxi really didn't turn back to look at the situation in the room. She personally went to prepare tea and snacks.
When she returned, Long Fei Ye was already sitting in the main seat. Duanmu Yao was in the guest seat. When she saw Han Yunxi come in, Duanmu Yao didn't say anything, as if afraid that Han Yunxi would overhear her.
This was undoubtedly a silent protest.
Han Yunxi didn't mind their silence. She laid out the tea and snacks, then gracefully sat in the main seat across from Long Fei Ye. She personally took a piece of cake and handed it to him. "Your Highness."
Long Fei Ye didn't like to eat cakes, especially desserts that this woman liked. When they were drinking tea together, she had offered him desserts several times, but after being rejected, she stopped.
But now …
Long Fei Ye looked at the transparent cake in front of him. He was a little helpless, but he still took it and took a bite.
However, this mouthful immediately refreshed him.
So sour! Comparable to vinegar!
"Your Highness, you don't like it? Then try another one. "
Han Yunxi hurriedly brought over another cake and handed it to Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye looked at her innocently. He still didn't refuse and took another bite. He almost vomited.
It was extremely sour. It was so sour that his teeth hurt.
"You don't like it either?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
Long Fei Ye was helpless, but he also wanted to laugh. How could there be such a woman? He loved and hated her!
She brought over two cakes, and they were both sour. No doubt, she was warning him that she had knocked over a jar of vinegar!
Long Feiye didn't reply, but silently ate the two pastries. Han Yunxi wasn't appeased at all. Instead, she felt sorry for him and hurriedly poured tea for him.
Duanmu Yao couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and asked seriously, "Senior Brother, can we go now?"
Go?
Where were they going?
Han Yunxi finally cast a questioning look at Long Fei Ye. However, Long Fei Ye didn't explain anything. He said in a low voice, "Be good and stay in the residence. Don't run around. I'll be back in a few days."
There were many things that she didn't ask. She had been waiting for him to tell her. However, this time, Han Yunxi asked without hesitation, "Where are you going with her? Did something happen? "
Long Fei Ye evaded the question. "I'll be back in a few days."
"Must we go?"
"Mm."
"Oh …" Han Yunxi was silent for a moment. Then she whispered, "Your Highness, can you take me with you?"
At this time, Duanmu Yao urged again. Her voice was soft and coquettish. "Senior Brother, let's go quickly!"
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye. Her lovely eyes didn't contain pleading, but hope.
Pleading and hope were two completely different things!
She liked him, but she never forced him. She only hoped and hoped for him.
"Your Highness, I want to go." She was very honest.
However, Long Fei Ye ultimately disappointed her. He stroked her bangs as usual and said indifferently, "Be good and stay here. Don't run around. Stay away from Gu Qi Sha."
After saying that, he got up and left with Duanmu Yao …
Han Yunxi sat in silence and watched until Long Fei Ye and Duanmu Yao's figures disappeared into the distance. Only then did she reach out to stroke her bangs. She foolishly stroked them. Suddenly, her heart felt suffocated. It was so suffocating that it felt unbearable!
It turned out that it was just her own wishful thinking. There were still many more steps to take.
No matter how important or confidential the matter was, as long as Long Fei Ye didn't want to, who could stop him from keeping it a secret? Who could stop him from bringing her along?
It turned out that she hadn't entered his world. She was still at the door.
Outside the window, Gu Qi Sha narrowed his eyes when he saw Han Yunxi's disappointed expression. He walked over carelessly. "Little girl, did you get dumped?"
Han Yunxi glared at him. "You were eavesdropping!"
"I was eavesdropping! I didn't hear anything either. I don't know what that Duanmu Yao was whispering to Long Fei Ye! "Gu Qi Sha said unhappily.
"Whispering?" Han Yunxi was shocked.
Gu Qi Sha's gaze was somewhat evasive, but he still said loudly, "They were really close. Aiyo, if this Princess Duanmu had married into the Duke of Qin's estate as a concubine, it would've been better than being crippled!"
Han Yunxi's attention was completely focused on the first half of Gu Qi Sha's sentence. Her face darkened as she got up and left.
Gu Qi Sha quickly chased after her and followed Han Yunxi all the way to the back gates of the Duke of Qin's estate.
Han Yunxi was about to leave when Chu Xifeng appeared. "Esteemed wangfei, His Highness isn't here. It's best if you don't go out."
Han Yunxi gave him a cold glare that made Chu Xifeng subconsciously back away. Her gaze was even more frightening than His Highness's, enough to kill.
Of course, Chu Xifeng did back away, but none of the pageboys dared to open the door. All of them were blocking the way.
"Out of the way!" Han Yunxi said Coldly.
The pageboys all looked towards Chu Xifeng, who only pursed his lips in silence.
"Don't make me say it again. Out of the way!" Han Yunxi said sternly.
The pageboys were scared out of their wits, but they still didn't move.
Han Yunxi activated her assassination weapons and shot out multiple needles at the pageboys' knees. One by one, they collapsed to the ground, their legs numb and unable to move.
Chu Xifeng panicked and rushed forward to block the needles. "Esteemed wangfei, His Highness has orders …"
Before he could finish, Han Yunxi said coldly, "To put me under house arrest?"
"No!" Chu Xifeng was scared to death.
His Highness had only said to be on guard against Gu Qi Sha, but nothing else. If esteemed wangfei left the estate, how were they supposed to guard against him?
"If you're not, then out of the way.
Don't … "Han Yunxi hadn't finished when Chu Xifeng stepped aside. He didn't want to be poisoned. How was he supposed to follow her out if he was poisoned?
Gu Qi Sha grinned from one side. When he saw Han Yunxi leave, he didn't go through the back door, but climbed over the wall to follow behind her. "Lass, let's go take a look at Pill Fiend Pharmacy! They're starting work on the warehouse today. "
"Stay away from me!"
Han Yunxi mounted her horse and rode off.
Naturally, Gu Qi Sha chased after her relentlessly, while Chu Xifeng and a large group of guards followed suit.
It wasn't until the front and back gates of the Duke of Qin's estate had quieted down and Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had left the estate that Chu Tianyin ordered his scouts to withdraw.
After the black market explosion, Long Tianmo had been causing trouble for the Chu Clan in front of Emperor Tianhui. Chu Tianyin should've focused on dealing with the man himself, but Ouyang Ningnuo's secret missive had allowed him to see through Long Fei Ye's plans!
As long as Duanmu Yao could keep Long Fei Ye busy, he'd make Long Fei Ye regret detonating the gunpowder!
Both Gu Qi Sha and Chu Xifeng assumed that Han Yunxi would leave the city to chase after His Highness Duke of Qin. Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi rode her horse in a circle around the city before heading for the Gu Estate.
Currently, Gu Beiyue was reading medical books in the garden. Lil Thing was curled up on one side sleeping, but as soon as it smelled its master's scent, it jumped to its feet and stared at Gu Beiyue with wide eyes.
"What's wrong?" Gu Beiyue's voice was as warm as the winter sun.
Lil Thing really liked this voice. If it could die while listening to it, it'd feel happy.
It squeaked a few more times before running out the door. Gu Beiyue immediately chased after it, only to see the steward walking towards them. "Master, esteemed wangfei has graced us with her presence! There's also a black-robed man who looks like His Excellency Pill Fiend. "
Gu Beiyue was a little surprised, but more than that, he was pleasantly surprised. His smile brightened as he said, "Quick, receive her."
