Just as Shi Sheng was imagining things, the man came over and pretended to meet the female lead. They talked for a while, then left the yamen and went to the teahouse where Shi Sheng was.
There were no private rooms in this teahouse, so they could see her as soon as they came up.
However, Shi Sheng had no intention of avoiding them. He propped up his chin and waited for them to come up.
Unfortunately, when they came up, the waiter walked past Shi Sheng to greet them. Their line of sight was blocked, and the two walked in the opposite direction of Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng: "…" Did I do this for nothing?
Was the appearance rate of cannon fodder so low?
If it were a supporting female lead with more scenes, she would be discovered even if she tried to avoid them. She was sitting here openly and no one would notice her … Why did she feel suffocated?
[Host, can you stop stirring up trouble and hurry up and find your wife??] Your female lead is still waiting for you to save her!
"I'm not going to run. What's the hurry?" Shi Sheng changed his position and propped up his chin. He was so bored that he wanted to fight.
[You're still injured.] The system was about to go crazy. Fight my ass! You're here to date, not to fight!
"I'm not going to die. What's there to be afraid of?"
[…] Master, I want to resign.
Yan Luan and the man talked for a long time. Shi Sheng thought that they would see him when they left, but the waiter came out to steal the show again.
Shi Sheng: "…"
Very good. This waiter has a bright future. The future Oscar is waiting for him.
When the waiter sent Shi Sheng away, he felt a chill on his back.
Shi Sheng stood at the entrance of the teahouse and looked at the sky with melancholy. You need to work hard to get to the top!
Shi Sheng didn't stay any longer. If she did, unless she went up to them herself, these two probably wouldn't see her again.
Shi Sheng slowly rushed back to the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
When she arrived, it was already winter. She wrapped herself in a fox fur coat and walked into the city in the thick snow.
White snow covered the entire city. Everywhere one looked was covered in silver. Snowflakes swirled down from the sky. Pedestrians held umbrellas and walked in a hurry. Children were playing in the snow by the side of the street. The sound of their frolicking added some color to this snow-white world.
Shi Sheng didn't walk fast without an umbrella, which made him look a little different.
"Giddy up! Hyah! Get out of the way, people in front, get out of the way … "
The carriage turned from another street and sped toward the exit of the city. Shi Sheng collided with the carriage head-on. In front of her, two children were squatting on the ground. They seemed to be scared out of their wits when they heard the noise and did not move.
Shi Sheng walked to the side and watched indifferently as the carriage rushed towards the child.
"Get out of the way … all of you get out of the way …"
The driver's shout didn't make the child move. He seemed to be scared silly. At this moment, a man suddenly rushed out from the Shi Sheng's side and pounced on one of the children. He pushed the child to the side, and the carriage sped past them and disappeared into the city gate in a flash.
"Child …" The woman lay on the ground. She seemed to have been hit by the carriage. She struggled to reach in the other direction. "My child …"
The child in her arms was fine, but the other child was knocked into the air and fell on the snow. He was unconscious and no one knew if he was dead or alive.
"That seems to be the Seventh Prince's carriage. What a sin."
"The Seventh Prince is really heartless. Poor children …"
The onlookers angrily condemned the Seventh Prince, but in the end, for some reason, the topic shifted to Shi Sheng.
"That girl clearly had time to help the two children, but she acted as if she didn't see it. I don't know what her heart is made of."
"If she had helped them, they wouldn't have ended up like this. They're so young. Poor children."
Shi Sheng looked over. The people there didn't avoid her and continued to point at her.
The main reason was that she was dressed well. These ordinary people had a strange resistance to high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Since ancient times, the law couldn't punish the majority. There were many of them, so they weren't afraid of trouble.
Shi Sheng gathered his fox fur coat and said sarcastically, "I'm scared."
Everyone: "…"
Why don't you pretend to be scared first?!
He looked like he was watching a good show. How could he say that he was scared? How could these rich people be so cold-blooded?
Shi Sheng lifted her foot to leave. Her gaze swept past the few people who were speaking the loudest. Her voice seemed to be frozen in ice in the cold wind, without the slightest ripple, "You guys speak so righteously. Why didn't I see any of you go and see if that child is dead or alive? Can you still save him?"
Some people were always preaching justice, but they never took action. They put themselves in the position of righteousness and thought that they could stand on the moral high ground and condemn others.
Idiots.
…
On the second floor on the left side of the street, a man leaned against the window and looked at the figure below that was gradually disappearing.
The person behind him bent down and reported in a low voice, "Your Highness, that's Hong Jin."
The man changed his position and fiddled with the snow on the windowsill with his fingertips. In the blink of an eye, his fingertips had turned white.
The snow in the sky became heavier and heavier. It flew over the eaves and landed on the man's hair. He moved slightly and the snowflakes fell from his hair and disappeared into his white cloak.
He retracted his hand and sat up straight. The person beside him immediately closed the window and handed him a cup of hot tea.
The man took the hot tea and took a sip. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "Kill."
"Yes."
…
Shi Sheng found a place to rest. The wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of rustling could be heard. Shi Sheng lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He didn't close his eyes for a long time.
She turned over and glanced at the door from the corner of her eye. There was smoke coming in from the door. Shi Sheng narrowed his eyes and sat up from the bed. He wrapped himself in his fox fur coat and rushed to the door.
She opened the door with a whoosh. The person outside was still blowing the smoke and staring at Shi Sheng.
The person's face was covered, but Shi Sheng still knew who this person was. It was Zi Jing.
The Host had trained with them and lived with them for so many years. She could recognize him with just a pair of eyes.
Shi Sheng used the hilt of his sword to open the smoke tube in his hand. Zi Jing reacted and immediately moved to grab her neck. "Hong Jin, you betrayed Master first. Don't blame me for not remembering our past relationship."
EXM？？
When did the Host betray the Seventh Prince?
Shi Sheng dodged to the side, dodging Zi Jing's attack. She grabbed his arm and flung him against the door frame. Her sword was placed on his neck with a swoosh.
It was so fast that Zi Jing didn't have time to react.
Zi Jing: "…"
Cold!
This was the only feeling he had. Even with his internal energy protecting his body, he couldn't expel the cold air from the sword on his neck.
Hong Jin didn't use a sword. Where did she get this sword from?
"Hong Jin, you really betrayed Master." Zi Jing's face was leaning against the door frame. He could only turn his head and speak with difficulty to Shi Sheng.
