Chapter 29.3: Strange Eyes

Qing Yu was surprised for a moment. She had not seen this lady before throughout the many times she had been here, but, her demeanor and flair was rather similar to that of Lian Ji's.

"I am Yue Ji." The woman said, her head lifting up slightly.

"Yue Ji?" Qing Yu arched up an eyebrow. "And both you and Lian Ji are a.s.sa.s.sins?" Or why would they have such similar names?

Yue Ji then answered respectfully: "I am one of the Lord's shadow guards, and my duty is to protect the Lord."

"I see." Qing Yu nodded her head in understanding, and then got up from the bed. She was just about to go outside when she turned her head back, seemingly having just thought of something. "Last night….. who changed my clothes for me?"

Yue Ji was taken aback by the question. "I did."

In the next second, she saw that person's face that had looked rather tense break into a smile. "That's great. Thank you."

And the young lady then went out with light and quick steps.

Yue Ji's face was one of bewilderment. [What is she getting so happy about?]

Lou Jun Yao was just coming in when he saw that tall and slender figure nimbly leaping out over the high walls of the Gathered Cloud Loft.

[That la.s.s, really has the personality of a wild and untamed kitten!]

"My Lord." Yue Ji came walking over. When she saw the faint smile at the edges of the man's lips, she was rather surprised.

Lou Jun Yao then turned his gaze back. "When she left, did she say anything?"

Yue Ji shook her head, and then said while feeling a little puzzled. "She merely asked who was the person that changed her clothes."

"Oh?" Lou Jun Yao raised an eyebrow.

"I told her that I was the one who changed it for her and she said great. After that….. she seemed to be rather happy about it." Yue Ji related everything that had happened to her Lord truthfully. "I do not know what she was feeling so happy about."

Hearing that, Lou Jun Yao's smile widened, and his violet eyes sparkled, looking unusually captivating. [Does the little one think that the fact that she is a girl has not been exposed?]

[How foolish.]

Yue Ji then watched her Lord walking away, his face looking rather amused.

[The Lord….. and that young lady….. Something's not right.]

Although she could not put her finger on just what exactly was wrong.

— Eternal Peace Duke's Manor —

Yan Ning Luo who had stayed away from home for the past few days finally decided to go back in the end.

Afterall, that was her biological brother and siblings would not bear grudges. Hence, she was prepared to go back and speak with her brother about it properly, as long as he did not insist on antagonizing their mother because of that pair of twin siblings.

But she had just reached the door when she saw a nondescript but luxurious horse carriage parked outside. Yan Ning Luo had never seen this horse carriage before and she guessed there was a guest inside.

But she probably would never have guessed who the guest was.

"Little Ning, you've come back. Why aren't you coming in?" Yan Xi Cheng was entertaining the guest in the main hall and he saw his sister that he had not seen for the past few days at the door the moment he raised his head.

Yan Ning Luo was dressed in a smoky green chiffon dress, a magical air around her, her demeanor extraordinarily cold, her clear eyes looking indifferently upon the man inside the hall.

The Crown Prince Xuanyuan Che.

The last person that Yan Ning Luo would want to see.

"Little Ning, aren't you going to come greet the Crown Prince His Highness?" When Yan Xi Cheng saw that she was not moving, he thought that as a girl, she was being bashful and coy, and he went up to pull her inside.

Xuanyuan Che arched up an eyebrow and looked at the icy expression on Yan Ning Luo's face. [Tsk, it just irks me no matter which way I look at her. Those people out there must all be blind! How can they call a woman like this the greatest beauty?]

"Your Highness, you seem to be rather free recently!" Yan Ning Luo said, putting on an insincere mouth.

"I can't possibly be more free than the Princess yourself as this Crown Prince is the future ruler and I cannot afford to slack off at all in my cultivation or court matters." Xuanyuan Che's voice was gentle, and the words spoken seemed quite harmless, but were filled with veiled ridicule.
